Chapter 787: Performance

Seeing that the assassin who had been hiding before was actually sitting openly in the chair by the window, looking at him leisurely, with an appearance of not taking the current battle to heart at all, the "Admiral of the Deep," Haer Constantine, felt his heart tighten suddenly, becoming quite heavy.

Such a posture, such a performance, indicated that the other party didn't put him in their eyes at all and had absolute confidence in solving him, which was why they didn't take action at the first opportunity to cooperate with his companions, but sat arrogantly and smiled while watching!

In this situation, Haer Constantine didn't have any hesitation and instinctively aimed the obsidian trident at Lu Mian.

A silver-white lightning bolt condensed in this "Admiral of the Deep's" palm, magnified by the tip of the trident, and turned into a violent thunder python, *pa* striking at Lu Mian.

Lu Mian always maintained the posture of his right foot resting on his left knee, his face carrying a playful smile, as if Haer Constantine's desperate counterattack was just a child's play, which wouldn't bring any change to the result of the matter.

Of course, this was just the attitude he deliberately displayed.

In reality, he couldn't attack Haer Constantine at all, nor could he leave the 100-meter range, otherwise the exchange of fate would be interrupted.

But not being able to attack didn't mean he couldn't exert influence on the current battle. Lu Mian exited the shadow creature state and deliberately informed Haer Constantine of his existence, using himself as bait to attract the vast majority of this "Admiral of the Deep's" attention, and cooperated with his posture and expression to make the target feel pressure and fear, forcing him to respond in a hurry and increasing the possibility of him making mistakes!

A "Hunter," even if unable to take action, difficult to speak, and unable to communicate, could still complete provocations, use conspiracies, and set traps!

*Pa*, that thick silver-white python hit Lu Mian.

*Crack*, Lu Mian's figure shattered like a mirror, leaving behind the wooden back chair that was quickly turning charred black in the raging lightning.

He disappeared again, and that thunder python, limited by the target's material, didn't have much dissipation.

This made Haer Constantine become a bit anxious, seriously considering whether to break the window and leap into the water.

In the deep sea, he didn't fear any Beyonder below demigod level!

Even many saints couldn't dive into the deep sea to fight him!

Just at this time, he felt layers of restraints on his hands, feet, and body. Whether it was taking a step or turning the obsidian trident to another direction, it felt like being pulled by a powerful force, making it difficult to complete quickly.

And this restraint was tightening quickly.

Taking advantage of Lu Mian attracting the vast majority of Haer Constantine's attention and guard, Franca completed the arrangement of the "Pleasure Witch's" spider silk, letting them wrap around the "Admiral of the Deep" layer by layer.

Facing this restricted situation, Haer Constantine stopped and let the translucent octopus crawling on his face light up with dawn-like radiance.

That radiance suddenly erupted, turning into countless fragments, sweeping toward every corner of the captain's cabin in the posture of a storm.

The long table with food on it shattered into several pieces, *pa* falling apart. Deep scratches appeared on the surrounding metal walls one after another, while Franca and Jenna's figures shattered into countless mirror fragments again, and the invisible spider silk distributed in the room broke inch by inch, making it difficult to restrict Haer Constantine's actions anymore.

Located in the corridor, Anthony, who was far from the captain's cabin door, wasn't affected by the light storm, and Lu Mian, who was outlined beside him, was the same.

Lu Mian took the opportunity to press his hand on the metal sliding door that could be closed at the stairs, using his contract ability.

He put this area into the "Bottle of Fiction," with the condition for entry and exit being "female."

This was to effectively block the rescue of pirates on the ship, preventing them from disturbing the battle of him and the others. And except for teams whose captains were female, the number of female Beyonders on the vast majority of pirate ships was pitifully small, and some had none at all. As for non-Beyonder women, they existed as prostitutes on the ship and couldn't become ordinary pirates.

Outside the carnival bar.

The real pirates and Mason and others disguised as pirates simultaneously found that the scene reflected on the glass window was no longer "Giant Shark" Jörg and others fighting the unknown adventurer.

Those glasses were slightly dim, presenting the scene inside the bar without a bartender or guests.

"What happened?" A pirate asked loudly, feeling suspicious and uneasy.

"What ability was used?" Similar questions followed one after another.

They all suspected that the current change was created by that unknown adventurer. After all, "Giant Shark" and others didn't need to hide the battle; they wished they could show their strength to more pirates.

Inside the "Bottle of Fiction."

"Giant Shark" Jörg, wearing a pair of black boxing gloves, was covered in traces of explosions and charred colors.

He twisted the unknown adventurer's attack intention in time, so he didn't suffer trauma in the explosion just now.

And his companion, the "Ship Destroyer," who was a Beyonder of the "Hunter" pathway, had long since fallen into a coma. This was brought about by the combined effect of Beyonder ability influence and explosion damage.

The other few pirates were also scattered, none of them intact.

Looking at the unknown adventurer with black hair and blue eyes ten-plus meters away, "Giant Shark" Jörg hated the ability of "Teleportation" incomparably.

Just as he wanted to change his position and complete a "Bribe," he saw that handsome unknown adventurer's body quickly fade and disappear like a projection.

"Giant Shark" Jörg worried that this was a new round of "Teleportation," so he immediately threw himself to the side, twisted his body, and cast his gaze behind his back.

Nothing happened.

Jörg and several other pirates, amidst doubts, fought with the air, making multiple tactical evasions, but that unknown adventurer never appeared again.

Finally, the bald "Giant Shark" vaguely understood something:

"Was that just a phantom just now?

"We fought fiercely with a phantom for a while and almost lost?

"Where did the real person go?"

Thinking of this, "Giant Shark" Jörg suddenly blurted out:

"Bad!

"The *Newins*!"

That unknown adventurer's true target was the *Newins*, was the Admiral!

Jörg and the others became anxious, but were trapped in the "Bottle of Fiction" and couldn't get out.

After trying several methods and abilities without effect, they began to violently dismantle it.

On the *Newins*.

Just as the light storm showed signs of subsiding, Jenna's figure quickly outlined behind the "Admiral of the Deep," outlined in the storm's blind spot created by Haer Constantine's own body.

Then, Jenna used all her strength to stab the dagger covered with quiet black flames toward the "Admiral of the Deep's" heart.

Although Haer Constantine couldn't turn sideways in time, nor could he turn the obsidian trident to stab behind him, he wasn't panicked at all.

A silver-white lightning bolt suddenly shot out from the cloak tightly wrapping his body, hitting Jenna at a speed that made it impossible for the target to dodge.

Countless small electric snakes ran wildly on Jenna's body, but she didn't seem to suffer obvious harm or too much numbness. Her movements were only slightly slowed.

*Pfft! *

That dagger covered with quiet black flames was inserted into the "Admiral of the Deep's" black cloak.

When the battle just started, Jenna threw a gold louis at Haer Constantine, not to pray for luck, but to trigger the power of the "Decency" brooch to complete a "Bribe." This could make the enemy's attacks, defenses, and controls against her significantly weakened for a certain period of time!

After this, whether it was the raging lightning or the light storm, the influence on Jenna was actually not as serious as she had shown.

The reason she still dodged in a panic and was forced to use "Mirror Substitute" was to paralyze the "Admiral of the Deep" mentally!

She didn't expect Haer Constantine not to know about the "Bribe" Beyonder ability or not to guard against this problem, because the "Admiral of the Deep's" first mate should be a "Briber." Therefore, Jenna deliberately and continuously performed the fact that "Bribe" didn't produce an effect, making Haer Constantine think of other Beyonder abilities and guard against them.

If it were at the beginning of the battle, even if Haer Constantine thought so, he would still guard against the influence of "Bribe." But the intense battle had been going on for a while, and now it was an emergency moment of lightning and flint, not allowing this "Admiral of the Deep" to think carefully, so he could only subconsciously make a response.

Thus, he ignored the previous "Bribe" and failed to block Jenna's assassination!

Amidst the *pfft* sound, Jenna's dagger with evil black flames pierced the "Admiral of the Deep's" cloak and stabbed into his flesh.

Performance was for better assassination!

Once successful, Jenna immediately felt powerful resistance and the wriggling of flesh as if it were alive. Even though she used all her strength, she couldn't make the dagger advance any further.

She immediately gave up on using force and poured the black flames covering the dagger into Haer Constantine's body.

As the black flames surged, the "Admiral of the Deep" wailed in pain.

Franca seized this opportunity, came to Haer Constantine's side, and stabbed the transparent "Cold Blade" toward this "Admiral of the Deep."

Her "Cold Blade" also pierced the skin and flesh but couldn't penetrate deep into Haer Constantine's body.

But this was enough.

Haer Constantine's body suddenly presented a frozen stiffness, and his thoughts were also somewhat out of control.

Franca slid her feet, came to Jenna's side, and withdrew the "Cold Blade."

At the same time, she flipped out a makeup mirror from her palm, reflecting the "Admiral of the Deep's" body.

Then, she gently wiped the mirror surface with her right palm covered in black flames.

"Witch's" curse!

A large amount of black flames erupted from Haer Constantine's body, burning the "Admiral of the Deep's" body, but they couldn't enter the head where the translucent octopus was crawling.

Haer Constantine let out a painful screech, using this to get rid of the stiffness of his body and the dullness of his thoughts, and slammed the obsidian-like trident onto the metal floor.

Lightning so bright it made people unable to open their eyes erupted suddenly.
