Wizard: Surviving in the Steam Age with Points for Demon Hunter

Chapter 378 The horror outside the “Clothes of the World”!
"Oops!" Wayne frowned.

He already understood that the appearance of Suade and others in the Western Continent was indeed premeditated.

I'm afraid they let Black Jack come here on purpose to facilitate their subsequent actions.

However, just as he was about to contact Black Jack to remind them to return to Avad Island as soon as possible, he saw that the Alaniga had already begun to sail slowly.

Moreover, Suade was about to board the ship at this time.

"It looks like they've found Wojciech Island!"

Wayne thought for a few seconds, quickly scanned the ship through the Kingdom of Death, stepped forward and appeared next to Captain Giles, completing the identity change as quickly as possible.

Almost as soon as I finished the Transfiguration spell, I saw several messages flashing on the panel reminding me -

[You are being scanned by Suade Ermanno's mental perception. Comment: Wow, you were very quick, and you were not discovered. Reward: Survival points +200. ]

[You are being scanned by Woodward Ryder Girardot's mental perception... Reward: Survival Points +100. ]

【…】

"Everyone assemble on deck!"

Wei En frowned and became secretly alert.

Suad called everyone together. Was he preparing for action or because he suspected that someone had sneaked onto the ship?
However, either way, it is not good news for him.

Thinking of this, Wayne hurried out of the cabin with other pirates and came to the deck.

“Boss Suade, are you going to take action?”

Suard glanced at her without saying anything, silently scanning all the pirates.

Woodward, who was standing beside him, waved his hand and shouted, "Quiet!"

For a moment, all the pirates stood obediently on one side, facing Suad and others.

At this time, the pirates belonging to the Alaniga were also quietly guarding the side of the ship, from the bow to the stern.

Wayne remembered that the pirate who spoke was the 'armed man' Amanguli Calhoun.

Even a big pirate like her who was close to the Araniga was not treated with favor. It seemed that he was indeed talking about something serious.

At times like this, he was also much more cautious and did not use his mental perception to explore, in order to avoid being detected by the rune array on the ship.

But soon, he knew what happened -

Su Yad glanced around, perhaps not noticing anything unusual, and said bluntly: "Amanguli is right, it's time to act!"

The pirates all looked delighted, but after looking at the people on the Alaniga, none of them said a word.

"The Black Jacks are coming here now, and Avad Island hasn't received the news yet. We have at least an hour to act!"

"We must capture Wojciech Island within an hour!"

"No problem, Boss Suard."

"Great, this time we must capture Wojciech and kill Isabel!"

"kill!"

Even Diss put aside his reservations and asked seriously, "Captain Suard, shall we set off now?"

"Wait a minute," Suade looked at the other side of the ship and said with a smile, "They are coming!"

Wei En saw who was coming and frowned secretly. Someone from the Glory Society?
In the distance, I saw a red five-masted sailing ship approaching quickly, and its deck was also full of people.

Except for the leader, Chinni Boronat, who was wearing a robe with the emblem of the Red Moon Church, the rest of the people wore different clothes. From the characteristics of the clothes, it can be seen that they were made of the material of nobles' formal wear. The style was slim and had complicated buttons and slings.

"Welcome everyone from the Glory Society." Suard opened his arms, hugged Chinni, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your help as well."

"Yes." Chinni Boronat gestured to the people behind her, "Today all of you must obey Captain Suard's command and arrangements."

"Oh?" Suard was stunned. "Ms. Chinni means..."

"I'm sorry, I have other things to do on Red Moon Island, so I can't go to Wojciech Island with you." Chinni didn't show any apology on her face, and smiled softly, "But I believe you will be the winner, and I look forward to your good news."

Su Yade pursed his lips, not knowing what to think in his heart. He was silent for a few seconds before nodding: "Then wait for my good news..."

While the two parties were communicating, Wayne was also observing those noble extraordinary people, and together with the surrounding big pirates, he was using spiritual perception to investigate them.

After he finished his investigation, he shook his head secretly.

There were a total of 343 people on that ship, among whom nearly one-tenth were extraordinary beings who had reached the legendary level. Meanwhile, the remaining 300 people were generally above the ruling level, and nearly 100 people had reached the Hand of the Kingdom level.

Although the number of legendary transcendents is slightly less than that of the Araniga, their overall strength is almost equal.

"If Black Jack's men can't make it to Wojciech Island, this war might..."

Trouble!
Not long after, Chinni Boronat left those extraordinary nobles and returned to the black five-masted sailing ship alone.

Then, Wayne saw the forbidden object in Suade's hand for the first time - the forbidden object 0-37, the incomplete Homecoming.

[You witnessed "Forbidden Item 0-37 Incomplete Homecoming", and your fate has changed. Your current encounter progress is 20/100. Comment: So it was this... Special rewards: Origin +10, Resilience Level +10, Spirit Level +10. ]

it?
Wayne looked at the palm-sized sailboat model in Suade's hand.

——Forbidden Object 0-37: The incomplete Homecoming. It is a black, wooden, three-masted sailing ship. It can be seen that the hull has various scars, there are several holes on one side of the ship, and the deck is also damaged.

However, the most serious damage is to the bow. Without the bow, the keel inside can be clearly seen.

"Prepare!"

As Suad's essence erupted, his fingers clasped somewhere in the cabin, and a distorted illusory shadow spread from the forbidden object to the entire Alaniga, as if a huge three-masted sailing ship's shadow was cast on the outer shell of the metal steamship.

At this time, Suade also changed his appearance. A terrifying shadow enveloped his body, and his tricorn hat, eye patch, scimitar and musket were looming. The black shadow was like a burning flame, distorting the space around him.

[You are protected by the "Forbidden Item 0-37 Incomplete Homecoming", with additional origin characteristics, your fate trajectory has changed, and the current encounter progress is 40/100. Evaluation: Pay attention to the time, if it exceeds 20 minutes, you will merge with it! Special rewards: Origin +20, toughness level +20, spirit level +. ]

thirty minutes?

Wei En felt a chill in his heart. He looked down at his hands which were burning with black flames, and glanced at the other people on the boat out of the corner of his eye.

Unfortunately, those big pirates and extraordinary nobles, like him, were enveloped by the power of the forbidden object and turned into horrible creatures. Their withered, ghost-like illusory bodies had only a pair of blood-red eyes that were bright and strange.

However, Wayne was not too panicked. At least the other pirates were keeping quiet at this time, as if they were used to it.

At this time, Suade's tall and exaggerated body stepped to the rudder of the phantom sailboat, holding the rudder with his hands wearing black leather gloves, and his hazy face opened his mouth and let out a roar:
"let's go!"

Immediately afterwards, Wayne saw the space in front of the ship collapse inward.

That's right, it collapsed - it was as if a huge force from within forced the space to form a terrifying hole, guiding the "Homecoming" back home.

The next second, the entire ship slowly moved in.

"This is……"

Wei En looked at the distorted space around him. This was an inner space he had never seen before!

I thought that the power of this forbidden object would follow the rules of the world, that is, just like Vaklav tore through space to travel before, it would move within the inner layer of the "World's Clothes".

Or it could be similar to Menor's extraordinary spatial properties, compressing and folding the space between two positions to achieve the purpose of crossing.

But none of them are, and they are completely different!

When Wayne saw the scene outside the ship clearly, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide -

"This Homecoming is actually traveling outside the 'Clothes of the World'?!"

This was the first time he saw the outside of the "World Clothes", or more precisely, the world inside from outside the "World Clothes". The four vast landmasses were surrounded by deep blue waters, with the sun on the left and the red moon on the right echoing each other - it was like a huge scroll spread out before his eyes!

On the scroll, there are several secret places, including a huge door full of undead creatures, a terrifying abyss under the deep sea, tiny battlefields formed by many demons fighting each other, and an illusory world like a dream...

"The world of the dead, the abyss of purgatory, the nightmare realm... the nightmare world?" Wei En identified them one by one, his face stunned, as if he was recognizing that world for the first time.

But soon, he no longer cared to observe the world inside the "Clothes of the World" and only heard terrifying roars coming from outside the ship.

"Roar--"

"Ho ho-"

"Doaa!"

"..."

Wayne looked up and his eyes suddenly widened.

In the dark world of nothingness as dark as ink, countless huge and terrifying creatures as big as the world under the "Cloak of the World" were scattered around.

Those monsters looked like magnified deformed species, ugly, hideous, and terrifying, making people feel despair.

Some of their bodies are made up of countless tentacles covered with eyes, which cling tightly to the "Cloak of the World" as if they want to tear that protective membrane apart.

Some of the huge bodies have huge mouths full of fangs, and the sharp teeth are pressing against the "Clothes of the World".

Others were like slime monsters, their blood-red bodies constantly changing, revealing narrow, emotionless eyes...

Wei En stared at these monsters in a daze, feeling a chill in his heart.

"These are the 'truths' that Chief Vaklav said?"

"Are they the source of chaos souls that wreaked havoc in the Second Era?"

"The existence that the Chaos Cult believes in?"

"..."

In just a moment, Wei En connected together the relics of the era he had seen before.

These include the end of the Second Age, and the obscure Third Age.

"So this is the situation in the outside world. No wonder wizards fled here."

"So, could it be possible that the silver moon turned into a red moon because of these monsters?"

Wei En looked at the red moon emitting a strange glow under the "Cloak of the World" again.

Combined with the relics of the Third Age seen two days ago, it seems that apart from these monsters, there should be nothing else that can contaminate the Red Moon.

It can't be a god, right?
"Roar!!"

At this moment, a roar came from Wei En's side, waking him from his thoughts.

He saw a pirate wrapped in a distorted shadow, already deformed, attacking the people around him.

But before he could react, a black flame appeared out of nowhere and fell on the pirate, instantly burning the shadow.

"Ho ho! Die!"

Before he finished speaking, the deformed pirate was reduced to ashes.

"Notice!"

Suyad's cold voice echoed in this strange ship, as if he was no longer surprised by it. "Don't make any noise, and don't pay too much attention to the outside of the ship!"

"Those monsters are a source of pollution that is much more powerful than the Red Moon. People with weak strength will become deformed if they look directly at them!"

Hearing this, Wei En breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, nothing happened when he just looked directly at the monsters outside... Wait!
It was only then that he realized that many pieces of information had already appeared on the panel in his mind -

[You are being watched by the "Source Soul" Margarita. Your source power exceeds three thousand, and you have not been distorted. Evaluation: Hoho, have you seen "greatness"? That is real! Special rewards: Survival points +2000, source +100, spirit level +100, toughness level +100. ]

【…】

[You are being watched by the "Source Soul" Tabret, your source power exceeds 2500, and you are not distorted. Special rewards: survival points +150, source +150, spirit level +150, toughness level +. ]

[You are being listened to by the "Source Soul" Francesca. Your source power cannot resist its detection, and your memory is partially stolen. Evaluation: Evaluation: Don't look too much, don't listen too much, don't think too much! Special rewards: Survival points +5000, source +250, spirit level +250, toughness level +250. ]

"steal?!"

Wei En was sweating profusely. His memory had been stolen by those monsters without him even noticing?!

Which part of the memory was stolen?
What impact will it have on him?
Damn those monsters, I...

However, before Wei En could recover from his shock, he heard a long shout.

"Wayne Loft... Wayne... Wizard..."

“Die, die, die!!”

"Kill him! Kill Wei En! Kill!!"

Then, the Alaniga, which was moving steadily under his feet, suddenly shook, as if it was disturbed by an external impact.

Hearing this voice, Suyad's burning black flames instantly expanded several times, and he shouted angrily to the surroundings: "Get away, ugly monster!"

But the next second, without hesitation, he controlled the illusory ship under his feet and crashed into the "Clothes of the World".

"Damn it, damn it!"

"Wayne Loft, who is that?"

"What are these monsters going crazy for!?"

Suard's tone was obviously exasperated. His huge figure was bent, and his pale face with an eye patch was level with the deck, looking down at the people below.

"Is there anyone among you named Wayne Loft? Or do you know him?"

"Boss Suade, you forgot that he is the one protected by the demigod wizard, the one from the Ghost School." The third mate, Woodward Ryder Girardot, reminded.

"That's indeed the name." The pirates agreed thoughtfully.

Even those extraordinary nobles have heard of this name, "Captain Suade, what were those monsters just now? Why do you call them by this name?"

Suad frowned and did not answer, but glanced at each pirate and extraordinary noble one by one.

He didn't know whether it was a coincidence or the wizard was among these people.

If it was the former, perhaps someone had just looked directly at those monsters and detected something.

But if it's the latter...

Suad's eyes flickered, and he looked at the surrounding scene without going into it any further - even the latter could not stop his determination to attack Wojciech!

"We'll be at Wojciech Island soon. Get ready for battle!"

"Yes!" Pirates belonging to the Alaniga.

"We can't wait. Kill him and you will be the new 'Emperor of the Sea'." The pirate captains were very excited.

The extraordinary nobles also smiled: "Rewrite history, Captain Suard."

The only exception was probably Wei En in the crowd, who was sweating profusely and was terrified.

Outside the “Clothes of the World”… so scary!
