Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 57 Three Wild Hunts???

At this time, Gus saw that "Know-It-All" Franklin didn't even have the courage to turn around and fight, so he simply slapped him on the shoulder.

In my heart, I was shaking my head at this not-so-clean assassination method:
“Before today’s action, I went to Uncle Weber and got several whale bone amulets with different functions.

If it weren't for the mystery and surprise required by the promotion ceremony, I would have stabbed you in the kidney right now!

Probably influenced by the Colosseum sequence, I now prefer the simple and violent fighting style of [Gunpowder Artist].

Explosion is the romance of assassins."

When he slapped him, Franklin, who was already a frightened bird, was so scared that he jumped up on the spot.

"what--!"

His spiritual energy burst out immediately, activating the amulet he was carrying.

[Amulet·Moss Tombstone]: Can disguise as the undead and is not harmed by ghosts.

[Amulet·Soul Dancer]: Makes the body lighter, greatly improving movement speed and flexibility.

The negative effects of these two whalebone amulets are that they must not be used continuously for more than five minutes.

Otherwise, the body will begin to die gradually and become a real undead, or even be imprisoned by the amulet and unable to be freed.

A grayish-white mist exploded from the pirate scholar's body. He instantly became as nimble as a cat and turned around abruptly to pull out his gun.

But just as Guts, who had already hidden behind him, was preparing to launch a sneak attack.

But they were shocked to find that Byron, who was supposed to be the main attacker, failed to perform at the critical moment.

"Captain? Do it!"

It’s a pity that Byron had no time to take care of him at this time.

As footsteps sounded behind me, a bone-chilling chill came over me.

When he stepped within three meters and entered the snooping range of the [Logbook], the attack and the information read hit his brain at the same time.

A [mountain goat footsteps] suddenly rushed out ten meters, but I still heard a voice close to my ear laughing strangely:
"Gah, little bug, I got you!"

From Guts's perspective, he saw a strange figure with a pale body and blank facial features clinging to the back of his captain.

The toes were placed under his heels, as if they had grown together.

It was the Faceless Man who was forcibly summoned back by Red Beard to help!
[Dark Magic: Ghosts After Death] is a taboo knowledge that is widely circulated among pirate groups and is even sold openly on the black market.

A powerful warrior was tortured to death using extremely cruel means.

By carving his leg bones into a talisman, one can imprison the opponent's soul and create a "ghost behind you" that follows you at all times.

Even an ordinary person can fully obtain the powerful strength of this warrior after wearing the amulet.

Side effects: Not only will a person's quirks, habits, and personality become more and more like the ghost behind him.

There is also a very strict taboo: you must never let the spirit behind you know your birthday!
Once you break this taboo, it’s no longer a matter of becoming more and more like him.

Instead, on the next birthday, you will be eaten by the ghost behind you!
He was replaced by the other party and became an evil spirit between a spirit body and a supernatural being.

The consequences of many forbidden knowledge are similar when it gets out of control.

The "rules" of the Silver Law and the "disorder" of forbidden knowledge will be restored to balance in them.

This causes these fallen beings to kill people according to certain rules, absorbing the spiritual energy of the living to maintain their own existence.

The spirit behind him [Faceless Man] is obviously like this.

It was used by Red Beard to harvest the elements of the indigenous Bay people and served as the anchor of the ultimate killer.

Byron saw that in the intelligence he had spied on, there was only a simple name "Faceless Man·Ghost Behind", and no detailed information appeared.

He immediately realized that the level of the spirit behind him was higher than his, and this was obviously a trap deliberately set by the Privateer Alliance.

However, this kind of response from the enemy was within his expectations!

This kind of reverse hunting will come sooner or later.

The reason why they committed crimes in succession in a short period of time in the past few days was to create a time difference for the privateering alliance.

Before the enemy can react, complete your plan to hold a ritual to brew [Transmutation Blood].

And today.
"You guys are still a little slow in reacting!"

Byron felt the chill that seemed to freeze his blood spreading from his heels upwards, and his control over his body was being taken away bit by bit. There was no doubt that if this chill took over his brain,

The whole body will become a puppet controlled by the spirit behind it, just like the previous "mother".

This is the biggest difference between the second-level professional level and the first-level servant level. One already has active core extraordinary abilities, while the other only has three passive talents.

The combat effectiveness is naturally very different.

But after practicing the [Blood Holy Grail], Byron is no longer the same as before.

"A clear spring is pouring out!"

As he read out the inscription of the warrior's cup on his waist.

A line of fiery red wine with a strong smell of alcohol immediately shot out from the ox horn cup and fell into his mouth.

breathe-

As Byron's eyes suddenly turned red, he breathed in and out, and the scorching hot breath kept coming in and out with his breathing, and in an instant it turned into a blazing flame!
Just by drinking a cup of blood brew, one can actually simulate the effects of elemental black magic.

——【Blood Brew·Volcano Eruption】!
原料：嬗变之血15ml、96°的生命之水20ml、蓝柑利口酒30ml、鲜橙汁15ml、魔鬼辣椒油3滴。

Also prepared is [Blood Brew·Frost Margarita].

Ingredients: 15ml of transmuted blood, 30ml of tequila, 15ml of white citrus liqueur, 30ml of slime juice.

It is also because the power brought by the [Silver Law] is too unreal.

When conditions allowed, Byron couldn't help but try out this fancy thing with its own "special effects" first.

It is precisely this kind of fancy tricks, which represent extremely powerful attack power, that produce miraculous effects when facing spirits.

Byron turned his head and sprayed at the [Spirit Behind Him] that was tightly attached to his back.

Boom——!
A stream of flames mixed with red and orange shot out and sprayed directly onto the face of the [Spirit Behind].

I didn't expect that the Wild Hunt, which is famous for its assassination skills, actually has such a trick up its sleeve.

It was caught off guard and took the blow hard.

Amidst the shrill screams, the possession state of the spirit behind him was forcefully interrupted.

It was like it was hit by a heavy hammer and flew backwards.

Some of the powerful forbidden knowledge that has broken through the shackles of the sequence can completely replace the core abilities that only the second-level professional level possesses.

And [Blood Brew] also allowed Byron to narrow the gap between himself and the second-level transcendents to a certain extent.

"Ah! I'm going to eat you alive!"

[The Spirit Behind] got up from the ground in anger and had just put out the flames on his body.

Suddenly, the know-it-all Franklin, who was used as bait behind him, groaned, and fell to the ground dead after being stabbed in the back.

However, it was not Guts who killed this first-level [Naturalist].

But
"My Lord is supreme. No one can offend me before I die!"

The spirit behind him widened his eyes and saw a shiny black boot falling in front of him.

Then a figure as tall as an iron tower slowly walked out of the darkness, wearing a mask on his face, leather armor, and holding a half-sword in his hand that shone with cold light.

He exudes an aura as unshakable as a reef.

It turned out to be Byron’s guardian knight [Iron Wall] Bruch!

Obviously, in order to prevent accidents during hunting, Byron prepared more than one backup plan in advance.

[Oath Knight] When fighting to protect the king, lord, and honor, in addition to gaining a combat power bonus, you can also share some of your lord's talents or unique extraordinary abilities (Chapter 43).

Bruch had no difficulty joining the Wild Hunt.

[The spirit behind] subconsciously took a step back.

"Wait! Why didn't anyone tell me there would be three Wild Hunts???"

Looking at the three people who slowly surrounded him.

It suddenly realized that the original scenario of "the oriole is waiting behind" had turned into "catching a turtle in a jar" without knowing it. The worst thing was that it was the turtle!
