Chapter 788: Face

One after another, silver-white electric arcs shot out from the obsidian trident, turning the entire captain's cabin into a lightning hell.

Under such close-range eruption and such powerful lightning impact, although Jenna "bribed" Haer Constantine and weakened the attack from the other party, she still didn't dare to bet whether she could withstand it with the relatively fragile body of a "Witch."

Like Franca, she shattered into pieces in the silver-white electric arcs that danced like snakes, reflecting dazzling light.

The figures of the two then outlined at the door of the captain's cabin.

There was still lightning raging here.

Franca didn't dare to stay. She grabbed Jenna's arm and, before the numbness brought by the electric snakes could worsen, triggered the remaining gem on the "Seven-Stone Bracelet."

"Flash"!

She and Jenna disappeared at the door of the captain's cabin simultaneously, "Flashing" onto the wooden table in the room diagonally opposite.

During this process, Franca and Jenna both saw the ceiling of the captain's cabin slide, revealing one pitch-black hole after another.

*Splash*, blue seawater poured into the captain's cabin like a waterfall, and the metal door of the captain's cabin closed accordingly.

When Franca and Jenna's figures outlined, there were still fine electric lights remaining on their bodies, and they couldn't stop trembling.

Immediately after, the last gem on the "Seven-Stone Bracelet" shattered, and all "Flashes" were used up, leaving only two diamonds representing "Teleportation."

Lu Mian and Anthony, who were at the stairs in the corridor, didn't suffer much lightning damage.

This wasn't because the lightning storm erupting in the captain's cabin didn't spread to them along the metal floor and metal walls, but because Lu Mian took out the gray-white lightning-shaped brooch "Sea's Fury" from his "Traveler's Bag" and threw it to his front side.

One of the negative effects of this magical item was that there was a high probability of being struck by lightning on rainy days.

And this meant it had a strong attraction to lightning!

As Lu Mian expected, the vast majority of the fine electric snakes that jumped and spread gathered on "Sea's Fury," making it look like a silver-white flower in full bloom.

Thus, Lu Mian and Anthony only suffered the impact of the remaining electric light, their bodies felt slightly numb, but they didn't lose their ability to act.

Looking at the closed captain's cabin door, Lu Mian raised his eyebrows and muttered to himself:

"Haer Constantine was seriously injured in the previous round of attacks and decided to seal the captain's cabin first to recover?"

To Lu Mian, this couldn't be said to have any problems with the "Admiral of the Deep's" response. Since it could be done, it was indeed one of the best choices in the situation just now. After all, Haer Constantine had no way of knowing how strong he, who was just smiling and watching without taking action, was, nor did he know whether Franca, Jenna, Anthony, and the others had other abilities—if they encountered a terrifying howl similar to the "Banshee" sequence, Haer Constantine, who had been weakened by the "Witch's" black flames, would have a high probability of dying instantly.

However, the choice of sealing the captain's cabin and recovering first was very much in line with the expectations of Lu Mian and the others. They hadn't intended to kill Haer Constantine before the fate exchange was completed anyway. Now, such a scene without fighting and waiting peacefully for time to pass was simply what they dreamed of.

"Must guard against the captain's cabin having a secret passage, allowing Haer Constantine to escape through it or jump directly into the sea." The one reminding Lu Mian was Franca, who had recovered.

In the matter of assassination, she had very rich experience.

"I'm paying attention." Lu Mian answered concisely while picking up "Sea's Fury."

He was monitoring through the situation of fate exchange and his own senses and spirituality.

If the "Admiral of the Deep" showed signs of escaping, he would immediately blow up the metal door of the captain's cabin.

As long as he didn't attack Haer Constantine directly, it wouldn't cause the fate exchange to be interrupted!

Franca, whose hands were still trembling and who had a charred smell on her body, sighed:

"Haer Constantine, just with lightning impact and the protection of items on his spirit and mind, almost completely destroyed our efforts. Hmm, and the special environment here.

"If it weren't for our numerous magical items and our tacit cooperation, we would have had a high probability of being counter-killed, forcing you to give up the previous attempt and participate in the battle personally.

"What is this called? This is called 'breaking ten thousand methods with one force.' No matter what supernatural abilities you use, I will return you a lightning strike and utilize the environment to turn it into a weakened version of a lightning storm."

Jenna, who was also trembling and had a charred smell, nodded gently, expressing agreement.

Responsible for the frontal battle, she had a deep understanding of this.

Outside the carnival bar, the real pirates and those disguised as pirates simultaneously found that the door made of heavy wood suddenly expanded, splitting into four or five pieces.

*Boom! *

The sound of the explosion followed, throwing the door frame along with the split door toward the surroundings.

The figures of "Giant Shark" Jörg and others finally appeared in the eyes of the onlookers.

Most of them carried injuries, light or heavy, their expressions solemn, and they couldn't care about disguising themselves, running wildly toward the pier.

Seeing this scene, the pirates and fake pirates all had similar thoughts:

"Defeated?"

"'Admiral of the Deep's' capable subordinates all lost together?"

"Are they going back to seek help from the 'Admiral of the Deep'?"

"Running so miserably......"

Amidst their thoughts, the onlookers cast their gazes back into the "Carnival Bar," seeing that the tables and chairs there were broken, multiple wine barrels exploded, and the aroma of wine and the smell of burning permeated, but there was no sign of the unknown adventurer.

This made the real pirates and fake pirates both surprised and suspicious, not understanding what this represented.

*Gulp, gulp*, in the airtight captain's cabin filled with blue seawater, Haer Constantine's body wrapped in a black cloak floated in the water, with bubbles constantly emerging.

This "Admiral of the Deep" lowered his head slightly, with the translucent octopus crawling on his face, looking at the metal floor soaked in water, feeling the nourishment of his soul and the gradual healing of his internal and external wounds with the help of healing potions.

After dozens of seconds, Haer Constantine raised his head slowly but firmly, casting his gaze toward the closed metal door.

Outside the door, Lu Mian turned his head to Franca and said:

"It's almost finished. You go stand at the door and reveal your face. If Haer Constantine can see your true appearance as a 'Pleasure Witch' and feel extreme pleasure, the digestion effect might be even better."

"This is so weird......" Franca muttered while coming to the opposite side of the captain's cabin, standing against the metal wall.

She pulled down the hood on her head, revealing her bright and atmospheric appearance.

She wanted to strike another pose, but she really couldn't let go.

Under everyone's eyes!

Lu Mian estimated the progress, walked to the door of the captain's cabin, and pressed his hands on the metal door.

Scorching white flames instantly condensed, compressed layer by layer, and poured into the metal door.

*Boom-boom-boom! *

Under the violent explosion, the metal door first rapidly dented backward, then cracked.

*Splash*, blue seawater surged out, but was pushed back by the shockwave generated by the explosion.

Haer Constantine's figure appeared in the eyes of Lu Mian, Franca, and the others, with a look of expectation on his mouth.

Taking advantage of the recovery just now, he activated the *Newins'* defense system. Next, he would fight the four assassins with the help of this alchemical ship.

In that state, even if it were a demigod, he had the confidence to contend for a period of time!

This was why he didn't jump out of the window into the sea when the captain's cabin door was closed.

Suddenly, he saw an exceptionally beautiful face and a figure that could still be felt as beautiful even if covered by a leather armor robe.

He was briefly dazed.

Just at this time, Haer Constantine's brain buzzed, instantly becoming a blank.

That blankness was then filled with extreme pleasure, ignited, making Haer Constantine feel as if even his soul had become fragmented and thrown to the surroundings.

He stiffened on the spot, and blood stained the blue seawater that hadn't yet surged out of the captain's cabin.

His tears flowed down on the spot, mixing with the seawater.

Those were tears of pain, and also tears of pleasure.

Silently, the translucent octopus crawling on Haer Constantine's face fell off, revealing his true face.

It was a face that could be called handsome, but the features and contours weren't deep enough, relatively soft.

Seeing this scene, Franca's heart suddenly beat wildly for a few times.

This was very similar to the man she encountered in the Trier underground catacombs, that is, Harrison, who was suspected to be from Easter Island.

This wasn't to say that they were similar in facial details, but the style was relatively close.

This was a face with a partial "Eastern style," but it wasn't as pure as Harrison's, more like a mixed-race person!

Amidst Franca's astonishment, she heard the illusory sound of shattering and felt the "Pleasure" potion completely digested.

Because of this, she saw an illusory starry sky and saw large and small brilliant stars.

Lu Mian was about to kill the "Admiral of the Deep," Haer Constantine, who had suffered heavy injuries after the lust explosion, when he suddenly felt that the surrounding environment had become exceptionally dangerous and heard the entire *Newins* make the sound of mechanical operation.

This was like a killing machine waking up.

Lu Mian wasn't greedy and decisively stretched out his hands, grabbing Franca and Jenna's shoulders respectively, and lifted the "Bottle of Fiction."

Seeing this, Anthony took a diagonal step and grabbed Lu Mian's clothing.

The figures of the four quickly disappeared in the corridor outside the captain's cabin.

They "Teleported" back to the hotel room at Banamo Port.

Soon, pirates near the pier discovered that the *Newins* had retracted its masts and sails, re-sealed itself, and dived into the seabed.

At this time, "Giant Shark" Jörg and the others hadn't even run back to the pier!

"Ran?"

"The 'Admiral of the Deep' just ran away?"

"He hasn't even fought that adventurer and just slipped away like this, leaving behind his first mate, second mate, and boatswain?"

"......"

For a time, all kinds of thoughts emerged in the hearts of the pirates near the pier.
