Twilight War

04

The sound of the whistle filled the entire sea area.

The huge Shengyin Horn is driving on the vast water surface, like a steel behemoth cruising on the sea.

Dozens of youths in the uniform of the Templars guarded the deck.

Zichen held his breath and hid on a metal relief outside the stern.

The metal relief is only a little higher than the sea surface, and whenever a wave hits, the sea water will submerge his calf.

His legs were so frightened that he almost fell into the sea several times.

The relief depicts Typhon, the father of all demons, with a hundred snake heads entwined around the stern of the ship as if he was about to drag the entire giant ship down into the endless deep sea.

Zichen had been on this ship for a while, but he was still not very familiar with the Shengyin.

Now he doesn't know where Vichypel is, and he doesn't dare to act rashly, and he doesn't know where the guard slave is being imprisoned, and he doesn't know if the girl is okay or not.

His hand holding the cold relief trembled a little.

The entire sea area has an almost transparent blue color, as if the seabed can be seen straight through here.

The Shengyin has been sailing on the sea for a long time, and Zichen has been hanging on the relief. If he doesn't reach the place again, he really can't hold on.

The sky gradually turned gray, as if it was a harbinger of a storm.He saw countless blue ripples surging under the sea, like the scales of a snake and crawling like a snake.

Suddenly, a fin of a fish crossed the water surface, Zichen was startled suddenly, and most of his whole body slid off the relief of Typhon giant monster.

One after another, the fish fins cut ripples from the water surface, and the fish fins have strange and bewitching patterns, just like creatures in ancient mythology.

Judging from the length of the fins, if there are fish underwater, then these fish must be at least several meters long.

It couldn't be a shark, whose fins wouldn't be so stunningly beautiful.

The creatures trailed behind the boat, casting swift shadows across the sea.

The creatures lurking under the sea slowly poked their heads out, and they actually had human heads!

Or it should be said that they had astonishing beauty, but they just looked at the boy on the stern relief with a somewhat confused expression.

The siren, can only be the mythical siren.

That amazingly beautiful creature with a human body and fish tail...

The white gauze wetted by water was attached to their graceful bodies, and more sirens slowly emerged from the water surface, and they slowly swam towards the young man, watching Zichen silently on the water surface.

Just like the famous painting handed down from generation to generation - Hylas and the Water Fairy.

Hylas, who was brought up by Hercules, was loved by his adoptive father, but he was tempted by the water nymph Nymph, who slowly emerged from the water covered with water lilies. Persuading him to stay, the fairy Dryope stared at him affectionately and slowly pulled him to the center of the water. Finally, when Hercules came to look for him, only silent reeds were left on the calm water.

He turned his back on him.

The sirens surrounding Zichen suddenly separated slowly, and a young man with a pale and fragile face slowly swam towards him. He was as fragile as white porcelain, but also like a young king.

He looked at Zichen quietly, with mysterious and sad eyes.

There was a fog on the sea, and the sound of the whistle dispersed like fog. The pale boy seemed to say something to Zichen in the fog, but there was no sound.

And under the sea surface, the pale boy's scaly tail was long and beautiful, and the slender fish tail almost fell to the bottom of the sea.

Compared with the fish tails of other sea monsters, the fish tail of that pale boy is more similar to... snake beasts.

A sharp whistle came from the bow of the ship, and those beautiful sirens instantly jumped into the bottom of the sea and sank along the side, like silver fish. Their lower bodies had tails that were several meters long, reflecting the blue light. Mysterious patterns grow on the scales.

The dense fog slowly dissipated, and all the light disappeared in an instant, and they had reached the Demon Song Sea Territory.

This is the territory of the Sirens, where they sing to confuse the passing ships.

Those who are deluded will become their food, and countless mysterious legends about them are spread in the sea, and some people even search here at the expense of their lives just to see their beauty.

The world only knows that they are life-threatening and beautiful banshees, but they don't know the real reason why they sing...

The Yaosong Sea Territory is the legendary entrance to the underworld, from where countless souls sail to the Styx.

The sirens are the guardians here, they are the messengers of the underworld, and they are responsible for the extradition of souls.

In order not to let mortals offend the underworld, they sang here day and night, causing stray ships to run aground and die. There are countless ship wrecks and bones sleeping under the black sea.

This is their territory, but just now they swam out of the Demon Song Sea as if they were welcoming guests, and dived to the stern of the boat to look at the boy hanging from the stern.

At this moment, they are constantly jumping on the sea surface like the real masters of this sea area, and the fish tails several meters long pass through the sea surface.

Weird and beautiful scales skim the icy water.

Zichen gritted his teeth and slowly climbed up from the stern, hiding behind the cabin.

The Templars escorted the captive ring slaves out of the hold.

There are hundreds of glass lanterns hanging on the boat, but there are no lighted candles in the lanterns, but lighthouse jellyfish floating in the blue water.

The Demon Song Sea Territory can swallow all light, only the jellyfish that grow in this sea area can illuminate this place, the lighthouse jellyfish are immortal, because they are accompanied by an immortal soul.

Only eternity cannot be swallowed by darkness.

Zichen saw the girl being pushed out. In the light of the jellyfish in the lighthouse, the white skirt on the girl was like a misty white mist. The white skirt stuck to the girl's lonely and thin legs in the sea breeze. at last.

The girl's eyes were covered with white ribbons, so she couldn't see everything around her.

Vehipel was wearing a white military uniform, and the military windbreaker fluttered up and down in the sea breeze.The silver World Tree coat of arms is buttoned at the neckline, shining metallic luster in the cold blue light.

He stood by the mast and looked at the ring slaves who were brought up one by one.

The ring slaves were put into black coffins with their wrists bound, and then one by one they were put into the huge and vast sea.

The coffin floated above the water, and the slaves kept struggling in the coffin, but they couldn't make any sound.

But those sirens were swimming around the coffin almost fanatically, their beautiful faces were full of greed.

Like hyenas around dying prey.

Wisper waved his hand.

Someone lightly rang the bronze bell on the Holy Sound Horn.

The sound of the bell was clear and clear, echoing across the entire sea area.

But those sirens seemed to be excited by the sound of the bell. They frantically shuttled across the sea, making sharp and ear-piercing sounds, and a black storm enveloped the entire sea area.

They are banshees born in the blood of the sea god, they call the wind and the rain, and their favorite is the sea storm that can swallow everything, and everything in that storm is nothing but their sacrifices.

Hundreds of copper bells on the Shengyin were rang one after another, and the bells echoed chaotically and clearly in the storm in the entire sea area.

While the bell was ringing, the sirens on the sea gradually became insane, and the ring slaves in the coffin screamed in pain, as if their souls were being crushed over and over again.

The scales of those sirens shone with a strange and beautiful luster in the cold light.

Bells echoing on the sea, jellyfish flickering lighthouse.

The sirens chirp sharply and frantically.

In an instant, Zichen was suddenly swallowed by countless phantoms, which was the pain and despair from the deepest part of his soul.He saw him fall into the water from a high place, with white silk ribbons binding his wrists, and the icy sea water flowing over his body.

He saw him sleeping on the dead bottom, surrounded by white bones.There are sirens with astonishing appearance floating above, those sirens are making waves on the sea surface, and the pale and anemic boy is slowly swimming towards him, but behind him is a slender snake tail, which is like an endless silk thread. Satin is entangled in the entire sea area.

He saw the pale boy covering his chest, the tail of the snake swaying behind him.

Patterns of molten gold appeared on the bodies of the slaves bound in the coffin, and they screamed in pain as if they were bearing the most painful punishment.

The Templars standing on the deck watched all this calmly. When they experienced it for the first time, they couldn't bear to watch the pain. Those screams seemed to tear their souls apart.Even after going through countless times, they still feel terrified.

But they have to do it, it's their job.

The souls of those ring slaves are slowly stripped from their bodies, which is the cruelest pain in the world, soul stripping.

Every time a trace of the soul is drawn, the ring slave in the coffin dies.Their souls shattered above them, forming countless white blobs.

In fact, the pain of broken souls is a bit less than that of stripped souls, and it is a kind of kindness for their broken souls, otherwise their souls will be displaced forever, and the pain is even more unbearable.

Some tiny soul fragments entered the soul-holding bottle in front of Vehipel, and more scattered in the air, and those beautiful sirens snatched the scattered soul fragments like hungry beasts.

They are not beautiful fairies, they come in advance not to sing, but to fight.

Like vultures that come before death, they wait for their carrion.

Their singing is like a painful struggle, sharp and piercing, the sea is cold, everything is hidden in the darkness, and the lighthouse jellyfish floating in the lantern keeps hitting the transparent glass.

The eternal light is on and off, and the bells on the sea are chaotic.

The ring slave whose soul was broken lay peacefully in the coffin, which slowly sank into the cold water.

There they will lie forever, their bones rotting away...

When Zichen separated from those hallucinations, the girl was already sleeping in the coffin, her white skirt was soaked by the blue-black sea water, and her long dark red hair was scattered lifelessly in the cold crystal coffin.

Zichen instantly fell to the ground.

"Who."

Vehipel looked towards the direction behind the cabin.

Two Templars dragged Zichen out from the back of the cabin, and Zichen looked up at Wisipel.

His eyes were as blank as fog on the sea.

"Take it to the bow cabin." Wihipel turned to the Templar beside him.
