"Adjust to half sail, reduce speed, and prepare for a deep dive."

"Yes!"

Gleason immediately went to the deck and began to carry out the captain's orders.

As soon as the order was given, the entire "Blue Reef" began to be on alert - after all, this was their first time sailing under the power of the [Black Emblem], and no one knew what would actually happen.

On the deck, Mei Xinghui was directing the work in an orderly manner. She held a notebook in her hand and added a few words from time to time, preparing to record the first voyage.

On the mast, Aoi's eyes had turned into bright gold. She was ready to use her strength to fight against possible threats in order to ensure the safety of the crew.

Soon, the Blue Reef sailed above the deep sea rift. The fog in the misty strait filled the surroundings, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, exuding an unsettling atmosphere.

After everything was ready, Furukawa Wataru nodded slightly towards Perlis, indicating that everything was done.

So, Perlis placed the [Black Emblem] in the center of the rudder of the "Blue Reef", allowing the dark power to spread.

Countless whispers flowed into Perlis's ears. She concentrated her mind and focused on driving the power of the [Black Emblem].

Soon, a vague barrier covered the entire three-masted sailing ship, and the surrounding sea gradually turned dark.

"We're ready," Perlis nodded to Furukawa Ferry, "Turn the rudder, we..."

Before she could finish her words, she suddenly felt something vibrating in her pocket.

As if by some mysterious force, Perlis reached into her pocket and touched the vibrating object.

——It’s the gold coin found in the ruins of the shipwreck.

For a moment, Perlis felt her body stiffen, her mouth slightly open, and the second half of the sentence she was about to say to Furukawa Wataru was stuck in her throat.

"what..."

Her eyes trembled, and gradually turned to the corner of the bridge, reflecting a dark figure -

——At some point, a gentleman wearing a top hat and an elegant black suit stood there.

The moment he looked at Perlis, he smiled elegantly and adjusted his hat:

"Hello."

The moment he heard the voice, Furukawa Wataru turned his head sharply, and the moment he saw the gentleman, strong hostility appeared in his algae green eyes.

He seemed to instantly identify the calm and composed person in front of him as an enemy, and the long wild sword was suddenly pulled out and slashed straight at the gentleman.

The next second, blood splattered and two arms flew into the sky.

The wild sword drew an arc in the air and fell into the dark sea, making a "plop" sound along with the knees of Furukawa Wataru.

The captain who had lost both arms looked in surprise at the gentleman who was strolling in front of him - he was holding a short silver dagger in his hand, with not even a trace of blood on it.

"I want to tell you that Bai Pengshun said he died gloriously."

The gentleman looked at Furukawa Watari who was kneeling on the ground elegantly, pushed up his round-framed glasses, and showed a gentle and elegant smile on his face:

"You are treated the same as him."

The next second, he fiercely stabbed the silver dagger into Guchuandu's heart, and blood splattered everywhere.

"No!"

A halo of light burst out of Pearlis's eyes. She used all her strength to break free from the shadow and rushed towards the gentleman.

But before she could take a few steps, a huge collision suddenly hit her -

"boom--"

Perlis turned her head suddenly and looked outside the ship - in the dark sea, dozens of tentacles broke through the waves and split the hull of the "Blue Reef" into four or five pieces like tearing paper.

The crew on the deck screamed and fell into the dark sea, including Mei Xinghui.

"Mei!"

Seeing Mei fall into the sea, Grissom jumped off the boat without hesitation and dived into the same sea with her.

The waves they created were very small, and their figures seemed to be swallowed up by the dark waves, leaving no sound.

"Boom—boom—boom—"

One by one, the pitch-black tentacles penetrated the hull of the Blue Reef, destroying it while barely stringing its broken body together. The pitch-black creatures covered with scales kept searching for the crew members in the cabin of the ship that could fall apart at any time, and pulled them into the sea one by one.

Seeing that the situation was dangerous and critical, a gust of hot wind blew and briefly blew away the tentacles.

"call--"

Aoi landed on the deck, her eyes gleaming with golden light, her arms filled with high temperature, turning into a transparent red.

She fought the tentacles, punch after punch, protecting the crew from being devoured.

"..."

On the bridge, just as Perlis steadied herself, she saw the gentleman kick Furukawa Wataru's body into the sea, then half of his face turned sideways.

When she saw the silver eyes infected by darkness, Perlis instantly understood the identity of the visitor——

——【Black Angel】Suleiman Agust, Chief of 【Blade of Babel】.

Why is he here?

He couldn't possibly know where I was. Even if he had been sailing on the sea, I had never seen him.

When she thought of this, Perlis's eyes narrowed and suddenly froze.

The aura emanating from the [Black Angel] in front of her evoked countless memories.

...In the factory of Xilinyu, a boss with a similar temperament provided me with clues about Hei Dao...

...a similar person was sitting across from me at the ramen shop...

These are just the sightings I remember...what about the ones I haven't discovered...?

Could it be that...he has been following me all this time?

"..."

Looking at the somewhat dazed Perlis in front of him, Suleiman smiled gently and adjusted the hat on his head:

"Thanks to your unremitting efforts, I finally stand in front of the [Black Emblem]."

"Now, let's end this honorably."

He smiled softly, his eyes turned dark, and the space around him began to tremble.

Perlis' instinct told her that she must not let Suleiman touch the [Black Emblem]. If he could further use this power, Perlis would have no chance of winning.

We must resolve this quickly, we must!

Epilogue) Prophecy (Part 4)

Without hesitation, Perlis gathered all the remaining factor energy around her on Suleiman, and then rushed towards him dragging a streak of red light.

She skillfully turned the butterfly knife, turning the silver blade into red. At the same time, a red line appeared on Suleiman's body.

As long as you can cut along that line, you can kill him with one blow!

"..."

Facing the sudden attack from Perlis, Suleiman just smiled lightly without even moving.

He looked at Perlis with an elegant smile, and at the silver blade that was coming from mid-air.

Then, he made a light move—

"clang--"

Half of the silver blade flew into the sky, accompanied by red lightning, and finally landed on the deck.

Perlis only felt the weight in her hand became much lighter. She turned around and found that the blade of the butterfly knife had been broken and black smoke was coming out of the broken edge.

How... is it possible...

This is... Dad's butterfly knife...

"..."

The moment the butterfly knife broke, Perlis felt something in her heart break as well.

But now is not the time to be emotional, I must immediately -

"...!"

Without hesitation, Perlis reached out and grabbed the scabbard at her waist, ready to meet the enemy with the black knife.

However, the moment her hand fell on the hilt of the knife, excruciating pain came from all parts of her body.

"Uhhhhhhhh!!!"

Countless dark tentacles emerged from Perlis's shadow, instantly turning her body into a hornet's nest, with blood spurting everywhere.

Is...is when...?

不 ...

Perlis's hands drooped due to exhaustion, and she could no longer hold the hilt of the sword, let alone draw it.

She only felt a strong dizziness, her eyes rolled up slightly, and the half of the butterfly knife fell to the ground.

“Uh…ah…ah…”

In the gradually darkening vision, Perlis saw Suleiman slowly walk to the rudder of the "Blue Reef" and take off the black brooch with his hands.

He put the brooch on his chest, turned his head, and gave Perlis an elegant smile:

"Let's see...how's your luck..."

The gentleman walked to Perlis, bent down, and picked up the gold coin that Perlis had dropped from the ground.

——It was the back, on which was carved a lifeless eye, emitting an aura of madness.

"Oh, looks like you have bad luck."

Suleiman smiled gracefully at Perlis, whose face was empty. He snapped his fingers, and all the dark tentacles supporting Perlis' body retreated. He then gently put his arm around Perlis' waist and lifted her up like a prince showing his affection to a princess.

He walked to the side of the ship holding Perlis, lowered his head, and looked at the girl's painful and empty face gracefully, his silver eyes full of tenderness.

Perlis wanted to resist, but she felt her body was like a puddle of mud and she couldn't exert any strength at all.

how so...

"..."

Looking at the gradually blurred bloodshot eyes, Suleiman curled his lips, put his mouth close to Perlis's ear, and whispered softly:

"Good night, last of Havrgard."

Then he buried the silver dagger deep into Perlis's chest, piercing her heart.

“Ah…ha…”

Perlis's body twitched slightly in Suleiman's arms, and a little blood choked out of her slightly open mouth, splashing on the gentleman's elegant face.

She only felt that the world in front of her eyes was gradually getting darker and colder.

"Uh..."

"..."

On the deck, Aoi seemed to sense something and turned around suddenly, just in time to see Suleiman burying the silver dagger into Perlis' chest.

"Do not!!!"

She let out an almost violent roar, and the entire deck was instantly filled with infernal heat, and even the surviving crew members let out terrifying screams.

But before she could rush towards Suleiman, countless tentacles broke through the waves, tightly wrapped around her body, and immediately dragged her into the sea.

"thump."

White steam rose from the dark sea due to the high temperature, but soon there was no movement and the sea became calm again.

"..."

When Perlis' pupils dilated completely, Suleiman threw her rag-like body casually and let it fall into the dark sea.

The moment Perlis's body stirred up waves on the sea, dozens of tentacles instantly rushed towards that sea area, like wild beasts looking for food.

"Well, it's time to enjoy afternoon tea."
