Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 53: Kiss of Flame, Soul-Hidden Life Box

The loud noise at the dock instantly attracted the attention of everyone near the port.

call out!
In the Rosemary Inn, Byron, who heard the noise, also jumped onto the roof in one [mountain goat step].

Looking far towards the pier.

When he returned to the inn last night, he immediately gave Bruch the [Blue Blood Spring] made with the extraordinary level [Transmutation Blood].

He stayed by his side the whole time, watching the guardian knight's serious injuries and even the destroyed appearance on his face recover quickly.

However, before Byron could wait for Bruch to wake up, he was greeted by this earth-shattering explosion.

"Is that the anchorage where the Privateer Alliance is anchored? Has any privateer captain been hit by a bomb?

That’s really well done!”

It turned out that it was the enemy's "house on fire".

Byron suddenly felt that the raging flames that were baring fangs and claws like a demon seemed a little cute, and he applauded it on the spot.

He also took out the [Warrior's Cup] and drank a cup of [Blood Brew·Rattlesnake] for himself.

The field of vision suddenly changed, and many orange and yellow patches that were previously imperceptible appeared in the darkness.

But it also opened its own "thermal vision"!
After he officially performed the [Ritual of the Holy Grail of Blood], he finally reached the complete state of his current class.

The means have been greatly enhanced, and the ability to imitate different identities has also increased.

Although I don't have the core ability of [Food Supplement] of the second-level [Gourmet], I can't make up for the deficiencies in a certain area by eating certain food.

However, a similar effect can be achieved by drinking a variety of [Blood Brews].

For example, you can mix bison blood and tequila into a drink called "Matador"; you can mix dog blood and gin into a drink called "Hound of Smell";
Use snake blood and whiskey to make a cup of "Rattlesnake"; use grasshopper juice and vodka to make a cup of "Flying Grasshopper" to get amazing jumping power.
It has the same effect as [food supplement].

With the help of "thermal vision", the scene of the explosion became clearer.

Although he was unable to discover where the attacker was hiding, Byron instinctively thought of the first person he met last night!
This violent and direct style is difficult for others to imitate.

crackling
At this time, even the broken wooden boards, human bodies, sand and gravel that were torn into pieces by the hot air currents were falling from the sky like rain.

The attackers' offensive also continued.

In the sea water near the damaged pier, dozens of fiery red fish fins cut through white water lines and rushed towards the center of the explosion from all directions.

When it touches anything except water, it will present a dazzling and violent explosion to the world.

boom! boom! boom! boom!
For a moment, it was brighter than the flames from a battleship's artillery barrage.

In fact, this is a special kind of [Gunpowder Formula·Kiss of Flame].

As an alchemical product in the hands of a [craftsman], its power is mediocre.

However, if eaten by various animals, it will produce a unique reaction with their flesh and blood, turning into a terrifyingly powerful incendiary or explosive substance.

As long as these animals are guided by some simple supernatural powers, they will become remote-controlled bombs that can be controlled remotely.

It is also one of the most violent and direct methods of killing!

Behind the school of fish, a large group of red rats also rushed over like a tide to the other side of the pier connecting to the land.

They rushed forward fearlessly, adding a more brilliant and spectacular touch to this grand fireworks show.

The bright fire lit up half of the dark sky, making it as bright as day.

Art!

It is indeed art!
Byron applauded repeatedly and couldn't help but exclaim:

“This is the splendor of the extraordinary world, full of surprises and the unexpected.

The firepower of a single Gunpowder Artist, if he is well prepared, is almost as powerful as a naval gun salvo.

Not to mention the mid-sequence transcendents, even the high-sequence transcendents would not dare to withstand the salvos of battleships.

The times have changed.

It is no wonder that the maritime powers are so confident that their giant ships and cannons will dominate this sea full of unknowns and bizarreness.

I really want it!
It would be great if such a transcendent could become a crew member of my Golden Deer."

Of course, it's impossible to even think about it.

Even if the guardian knight Bruch recovered, their entire ship could not defeat one of him.

The little regret did not dampen Byron's good mood.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Although this statement is not absolute, the probability of them becoming friends is much greater than that of strangers.

Unfortunately, before he could continue to gloat, new changes occurred at the center of the explosion.

Bang!
A strong and extremely cold air current suddenly erupted from the center of the flames, which had already burned to a blazing white, and repelled the raging firestorm that was boiling the seawater far away.

A charred corpse that looked incomplete, with only bones left, stepped out and was exposed to all the onlookers.

"hiss--!"

Half of the port was filled with gasps.

Even Byron couldn't help but look horrified:

"He was bombarded and burned like this, yet he's still alive?!"

What happened next overturned everyone's cognition.

Under the gaze of countless eyes, the charred corpse regenerated rapidly as if time had gone backwards.

The burnt bones recover as if they were new, and the muscles, fascia, internal organs, and blood grow again on them.

It only took a dozen or so breaths.

The charred corpse had turned into a living person, and even the clothes on his body had returned to their original state.

But in Byron's "thermal vision", he didn't have even an ounce of human heat, and his temperature was even lower than the surrounding environment.

This was a middle-aged pirate, nearly 200 cm tall, in his early 40s, with a big red beard.

Coincidentally, almost everyone knew him, including Byron, a newcomer who had only been in Anchor Bay for a short time.

Edward [Redbeard], a senior member of the Captains' Council and currently the most popular candidate to be elected Pirate Warlord!

A wanted criminal in many countries, with a reward of 5 pounds!
A famous serial killer, he once created a brutal record of robbing a coastal town and slaughtering thousands of people, leaving no one alive.

[Blood Eyes] Compared to him, Salman is not even worthy of carrying his shoes.

At this moment, an unexpected ambush exposed to everyone his other terrifying ability besides his notoriety.

Immortality——!!!
The tens of thousands of pirates who witnessed this were all terrified.

The invincible image has been deeply engraved in the hearts of every pirate present.

Who would want to be an enemy of a monster that cannot be killed even by such terrifying firepower? Who can be an enemy of him?
Perhaps realizing the weakness of this attack, the attacker [Gunpowder Artist] immediately stopped and remained silent.

"What kind of power is this? Even the legendary [Cursed Spirits] that are invincible are only this powerful, right?"

"Forbidden knowledge, this must be some kind of extremely powerful forbidden knowledge!"

"."

But the daring pirates around were like boiling water, excitedly discussing the abilities of Edward Redbeard.

And among the countless awe and admiration, there were also a few bold and greedy gazes.

This made Red Beard, who had shown his "frankness" and revealed his cards, extremely annoyed.

But he didn't even know who the attacker was or where he was hiding.

I had no place to vent my anger, so I could only grit my teeth in silence:
“Damn attacker, no one in this world can kill me!

No matter who you are, if I catch you, I will sacrifice you alive to my life box.

You will neither be able to live nor die!"

It is obvious that Edward Redbeard does possess a powerful forbidden knowledge.

[Black Magic·Soul-hiding Life Box]:
He arranged a ritual, sacrificed ten lives, dug out his own heart and placed it in an ebony box.

Then hide the box in a place where no one can find it.

To a certain extent, it can make people possess extremely terrifying immortality, with no vital parts on the body and complete immunity to physical damage.

As long as the heart in the box is not destroyed, the person will not truly die, even if he is cut into pieces and his bones are crushed to ashes.

Apart from the fact that the body becomes as cold as a corpse, there are no serious side effects.

But there is a time limit, and the sacrificial ceremony must be held every year.

一旦开始就绝对不能停下，人数逐年增加。第一年2人、第二年4人、第三年8人、第四年16人、第五年32人.
By the tenth year, 1024 people would be needed to massacre a small town.

Anyone who dares to practice this kind of evil black magic will become a real murderer in a few years, completely independent of his own will.

Therefore, in order to collect sacrifices, Edward Redbeard never left anyone alive when he plundered on the sea.

When he boarded his ship Nemesis again, facing a group of privateer captains with different expressions, he gave the order with a gloomy face:
"Don't worry, everything is under my control.

Go gather your crew, it's time to make achievements."
