Chapter 278: One glance, and you die!

I object!

Seeing that they went ahead without my consent, the captain and chief mate proceeded with the decision in such a dictatorial manner.

Second Mate Matthew Bartle immediately raised both hands and objected in person.

Objection overruled!

Abraham immediately retorted in a light tone.

Moreover, this operation only involves me, the Wizard Doctor, and Crow Chief Mate participating; the others just need to hold the stronghold and be ready to take over the "Blood Demon Hand".

Abraham's single sentence shut down all of Matthew Bartle's subsequent remarks he wanted to elaborate.

You don't even need to participate; just be a figurehead. What are you objecting to?

The meeting has entered the second stage; participants, stay.

Non-participants, return to your posts to stand guard.

Abraham gave the order lightly, but a cold threat lurked in his tone.

Building an adventuring party, without strong strength and prestige, it's hard to convince everyone.

Abraham could, in such a short time, pull together such a large number of personnel.

Moreover, he made the entire adventuring party run smoothly, with members of different duties each performing their own tasks; his leadership ability in organizing coordination can be seen.

Wait until the three figurehead deputies leave.

Abraham then looked at Ta Ke and asked softly.

What is your plan?

Ta Ke pondered a moment before speaking.

I need the following information: first, the location of where their demon ship sank; can that be done?

Yes!

Abraham nodded.

Second: I need to make contact with this sixth-stage Captain Landon Grey, Your Excellency.

Hmm... you don't need to be too close; being able to take a careful look at him is enough.

Can that be done?

Absolutely no problem!

Abraham nodded and said.

That Captain Landon Grey often goes to the Ice-Free Port casino.

Close-range contact with him can be said to be very simple; then what?

Then...

Ta Ke smiled and then said slowly.

Then this sixth-stage Landon Grey will be hit by a single forbidden spell and vanish from the human realm!

Ta Ke's words made Abraham and Dr. Stan Lee a bit unable to sit still.

After a moment of contemplation, seeming to withdraw his scattered thoughts, Dr. Stan Lee asked somewhat to verify.

Even if you use wizardry ability to lock onto the target, they could still escape, or even dodge your forbidden spell code?

No matter how you say it, Captain Landon Grey is still a sixth-stage expert.

Are you sure you can directly let him firmly take this one forbidden spell?

After glancing at Dr. Stan Lee, Ta Ke merely said lightly.

When I see him... he already can't escape!

Ta Ke's words made both of them involuntarily suck in a breath of cold air.

That is a sixth-stage bishop-level powerhouse.

Just by looking at him once, can you lock him down? Can you really stare someone to death?

Although they also know the Divine Favored One 'Ta Ke's' various astonishing great achievements, and those unbelievable battle results.

But when the Divine Favored One 'Ta Ke' truly shows his unbelievable side.

Even though the two of them are this close, they still have a feeling of astonishment.

This is simply absurd, opening the door to absurdity, absurdity has arrived home!

To others, these methods and abilities are absurd.

For Ta Ke, it's actually simple, belonging to the 'just have hands and you can do it' type.

Nowadays, Ta Ke's Forbidden Curtain Stage still awaits around Ta Ke.

And the Forbidden Rule Fragments, Ta Ke still has over a hundred points in hand.

Ta Ke only needs to glance at it; once that sixth-stage bishop is locked on, he can't escape.

Even eighth-stage vampire crowns can't escape.

You sixth-stage bishop, what can you use to run?

There's still one week until the end of the Pirate Gathering.

During this period, it's enough for Ta Ke to advance to the fourth stage and master the forbidden spell.

After a glance, after locking onto the target.

Fourth-stage Ta Ke will first hit him with a tactical starburst nuclear bomb.

And in passing, give the Silver Star Fan Steam Ice-Free Port a tiny little shock!

It would be best if it blew them up.

If it inflicts serious injury, Ta Ke doesn't mind using a bishop to practice his hands.

If the target really could escape Ta Ke's Phase Divine Ability and the 1600% Precision Correction, plus the bombardment of the tactical nuclear bomb.

A powerhouse like that is, without doubt, worth Ta Ke spending a few Forbidden Rule fragments on.

"Don't need our involvement?"

"Or rather, no need to prepare other measures?"

Sensing that his own captain was about to play a role, Ya Bohan thought for a moment before asking.

"Hmm…"

After thinking, Ta Ke spoke.

"If they're close enough at the time, more people might be blown up dead."

"You two should collect the corpses quickly; after all, you're members of the Bloodfall Pirate Crew, there's bound to be some loot."

"And for the wounded who fled, you should chase them down for the finishing blows."

"Then we'll slay the Sea Demon Ship overnight and leave this place."

Both of them twitched the corners of their eyes; it used to be they killed and their subordinates cleaned up the battlefield.

Now, it's the Divine Favored's turn to kill, and they're the ones collecting the corpses.

But, coming back to the point.

If the corpses are truly rich in loot, they wouldn't mind taking a few extra.

Moreover!

These people are still members of the Bloodfall Pirate Crew.

Even if they didn't directly join the siege on the Blood Edge Sky Pirate Crew, they're still indirect offenders and deserve death!

"Understood!"

Ya Bohan nodded solemnly.

Originally, Ya Bohan thought revenge was hopeless in the short term.

But after the Divine Favored Ta Ke joined, he realized that the hope for avenging his comrades not only existed, but was enormous.

Given that.

Then we must repay the Divine Favored's generosity.

"You… are you preparing to ascend to the fourth tier?"

After scrutinizing Ta Ke, Ya Bohan asked.

"Hmm, just a few more days," Ta Ke nodded.

"Otherwise my dear second officer keeps nagging about my rank every day; although I did get the first mate through connections, he shouldn't be nagging daily!"

Ya Bohan and Dr. Stan Lee both burst into uncontrollable laughter.

"That guy talks a lot, but he's fairly reliable in his work."

"Do you need any help with your ascension?"

"Hmm… I'm short on refined Vitality Spring Water for dissolving materials; a quick trip to the market should get it, after all this is a coastal city-state."

"And while we're at it… let's go to their wreck site."

"I need to take a close look at that 'Blood Demon Hand' Sea Demon Ship."

After another half hour of discussion, finalizing numerous details and aspects,

the three of them finally went their separate ways.

……

It's been a week since arriving at the Silver Star Fan Steam‑Nonfreeze Port.

Ta Ke has had close contact with those Sea Demon Ships.

The information he obtained left Ta Ke very satisfied.

Sea Demon Ships inherently possess a self‑contained extraordinary ecology.

Moreover, the Sea Demon Ship itself is a highly active extraordinary ecology with strong transcendental spirit, essentially a sentient extraordinary lifeform.

Even Ta Ke couldn't help but marvel at it.

For a wizard like Ta Ke, whether it's the Wizard Tower or the vibrant Sea Demon Ship before him,

both are perfect research test sites for Ta Ke.

Whether it's the spark of Steam World breaking the barrier between the primal steam engine and the Sea Demon Ship's ecology, merging steam with biology,

or saying that the Sea Demon Ship, this miniature extraordinary ecosystem, provides feedback to Ta Ke regarding the fundamental traits of the World,

they are excellent research projects.

Furthermore, ocean voyages, often long, grant Ta Ke ample research time and vast space atop the seas.

For today's Steam Tide,

Steam Wizardry's optical study alone is insufficient.

Because the Steam Sequence itself is a pioneer.

Ta Ke's arrival in this vast, raging Steam Tide extraordinary oceanic world

is primarily to develop his own Steam Wizardry and further the path of the extraordinary sequence.

And deep extraordinary research, pioneering the sequence, must begin by using Steam World to enlighten the Sea Demon Ship!
