In a dark environment.
The Flying Swallow was parked alone at the port of this island, and there were many abandoned shipwrecks on the beach next to the port.
This is the characteristic of the central area, an island where no one survived the dark outbreak.
At this time, no one was on guard around the Flying Swallow, so it was safely placed here.
After a while, footsteps were heard in the darkness.
Several figures walked out of the darkness with the help of dim light.
A bronze lantern floated above the heads of several people, casting a faint light so that the surroundings of several people would not be completely immersed in darkness.
Although Alka and Sofia have reached the second spiral energy, they can maintain normal mental protection.
But mental protection will accelerate the consumption of magic power when it is attacked and defended, which is inevitable.
The magic power used to block the invasion of these elements in the darkness is much more than that spent on maintaining these lanterns.
It is clear how to choose.
Alka came to the side of the Swallow, stepped directly into the boat, and came to the main mast to take down a bell tied to it.
This is a magic prop he obtained in the past six months.
This bell can help them to guard the ship. Once other lives try to approach the ship, it will trigger an alarm.
Alka will receive it and react immediately.
Of course, the degree of life can be set by yourself, so that not all small animals will be alarmed.
Bororo and Sofia also came to the ship, raised the anchor, and pulled open the canvas.
As the spell on the side of the ship lighted up slightly, the Swallow slowly drove out of the berth.
And within a few seconds, the speed was increased to the limit, cutting through the sea and galloping towards the small island next to it.
Under the fast sailing, it didn't take long. After about half a day, the ship arrived around the target island.
Looking at the island in the distance through the dark vision, Alka drove the Flying Swallow towards the port.
When he could see the port clearly, Alka immediately controlled the lantern and turned it off.
The ship fell into darkness.
The moment the light disappeared, Sofia and Porro immediately became alert.
This meant that Alka had found something wrong and needed to turn off the light to conceal their whereabouts.
They had encountered such situations many times in the past six months and had already formed a tacit understanding.
As they got closer and closer to the port, the reason for Alka's vigilance was also revealed to several people.
It was a three-masted sailing warship with black sails, and the logo on it was their enemy, the Prayer of the Dead.
Arka did not drive the ship to the berth in the port, but headed for the seashore next to it.
There were some reefs there, which might cause damage to the ship, but the one under their feet was a slender speedboat.
These reefs floating on the water surface would hardly cause damage to their ship, and the strength of the spell ship was guaranteed.
This allowed their ship to hide in the reefs and not be discovered by the enemy.
Also, Arka made a circle and observed the ship parked in the port.
There was a faint light from the lighting stone on the ship, and Alka saw the guards on the deck and the watchtower.
From some of the performances on this ship, this should be an ordinary ship, not a spell ship.
This ship over 30 meters long may carry more than 100 pirates.
Alka has been dealing with these pirates for quite a while, and he knows them to some extent.
Ship like this is usually led by three touchers, but according to the current situation, there may be more than 6 touchers.
Because there are other people targeting the dead, according to the information Alka learned from these pirates before.
Outside the Dark Realm, the warships of the Virgin Church caused great damage to them. Many touchers died, and more than half of the ships were destroyed.
As a result, there are more touchers on the remaining warships.
After stopping the ship at the reef, a small boat statue the size of an index finger appeared in Alka's hand.
Inject magic power into the statue and throw it directly on the sea, and a small boat about four or five meters in size will emerge.
Alka and Sofia quickly came to the coast under the push of Porro.
After landing, Alka touched the bow of the boat, and the boat immediately turned into a statue the size of an index finger again, and was put into the ring by Alka.
Finger boats are a magic item that Alka likes more, and they are also the more precious ones among magic items.
Generally, they come from some powerful and well-known forgers, and most of them are customized.
Because normal Touchers will not make such fancy things, only the rich who have too much money to do will customize such things.
After inputting magic power, it can switch back and forth between normal size and shrunken size, which can be said to be very convenient.
This control method can be replaced by the magic device connected to the magic crystal.
"How are you going to deal with them?" Sofia asked beside him.
While she was speaking, her eyes were still on the pirate ship in the port not far away.
"Get on board first and control the people on board, and then we will destroy the ship and the people together."
Arka said skillfully, and then two cards appeared in his hand. The back of this card is still white, but there is a sign like a cloak in the black box on the front.
Arka's cards are generally divided into three types. One type has pure colors on the back and a card that represents its ability on the front.
Derived from Jack's manual, Arka's craftsmanship has been able to perfectly produce these cards, and even improve them.
But now he is trying to make more powerful cards according to this idea.
The second type is the card with mirror runes. The back of this card is pure white, and the front of the card will show different graphics according to the changes of the spell.
This type of card is mostly functional, with various card functions that are convenient for combat, life, or other aspects.
But it is obviously not possible to let them play the ability of attack or defense in a head-on battle.
The spells that can be fused are all weak functional spells, and they may not be able to produce useful effects.
The third type is metal cards, which are more commonly used by Arka, or unexpected attack methods, just treat them as flying knives.
In most cases, it is convenient without a gun.
Alka directly handed one of them to Sofia next to him, and then printed the remaining card in his hand on his chest.
The card turned into a mirror and then shattered immediately. The broken mirror fragments did not disappear as usual, but floated beside Alka.
Sofia used it in the same way, and the effect was exactly the same as Alka.
Then the two hid in the darkness. Unless you have a keen sense and keep looking for the place where the two are staying, it is difficult to find their traces.
It is the fusion of the [Mirror] spell and [Stealth].
However, this effect has a time limit and can only last about 1 minute.
Because Alka didn't have enough mastery and proficiency in [Stealth].
The two of them immediately ran towards the ship in the dark.
The alert personnel on the ship walked around and didn't notice that the two had come to the ship.
As for Porro, he has his own stealth function, and the effect is much better than Alka and his friends.
He was lying in ambush underwater waiting for these pirates. If anyone wanted to jump into the sea to escape, he would face a more bloody scene.
Circles of fluorescent waves rushed directly into the ground and then transmitted to the ship.
The concealment of the waves was improved, and the personnel on the ship did not find Sofia's detection.
Sofia nodded silently, then made a one gesture, and then changed to six.
Arka said he understood.
This means there is one toucher and six ordinary people.
Then the two of them quietly jumped onto the ship, and with the help of stealth, they quickly merged into the darkness on the ship.
The lighting of the lighting stone is limited.
Act separately.
Arka held a metal card in one hand and a dagger in the other.
He quietly hid in the darkness, waiting for the patrol personnel to pass by him.
The patrolman did not sense the danger, and disappeared silently when he walked past the ship.
Only a very faint groan could be heard in the darkness.
Then Alka came to the bow deck, quietly touched a pirate who was dozing off, and knocked him out with a palm.
Dragged him into the darkness, and then continued this action.
And the only explorer was on the watchtower.
Soon Alka met with Sofia, and both of them made a gesture of no problem, and climbed up the watchtower along the cable.
The triggerer was lying on the hanging chair on the watchtower, swinging back and forth comfortably, not realizing the danger was coming.
He was holding a bottle of wine in his hand, taking a sip from time to time.
An unknown song was hummed softly, floating into the ears of the two.
Aerka and Sofia were one in front and one behind. Aerka rushed forward and directly covered the enemy's mouth and head.
Sofia immediately rushed forward, and only heard a few crisp sounds, and a few punches directly broke the enemy's limbs.
Aerka then let the enemy go.
"Ahhh! Who are you? Let me go..." He just finished speaking in pain and saw Arka's appearance following the light on the watchtower.
It was the target they had been chasing for the past six months, the culprit that put them in this situation.
The pirate opened his mouth, his eyes widened, and when he was about to say something, he suddenly groaned and blood flowed from his eyes, nose and mouth.
He died in front of the two of them in an instant.
Arka and Sofia were not surprised at the death of the explorer in front of them.
The toucher on the prayer ship obviously had no so-called freedom, and his life was controlled by his father.
I don't know how his father judged it. Anyway, as long as they really caught these important pirate leaders and wanted to force some information from them.
These pirates who have become triggers will die immediately regardless of their strength.
And looking at the appearance of these pirates, it seems that they don't want to die at all, but they have to die.
This also limited the information that Alka knew, mostly from those ordinary pirates.
And the information these ordinary pirates knew was even more limited, most of which they heard on the ship, or based on some situations they saw, they made half-understood inferences.
Some people don't know whether to believe or not, because the credibility is really not high.
Throwing the corpse on the ground casually, Alka looked at him and found that there was almost nothing valuable on him.
What a poor fellow.
The two of them left the watchtower and slid onto the armored platform.
At this time, there were two ordinary pirates tied up with ropes on the armored platform, trembling as they looked at the tall shark fishman in front of them.
Looking at the two pirates, Alka pulled out a small round stool and sat beside them and asked, "Tell me what you are doing here, and how are you doing now."
Hearing Alka's question, the two pirates were slightly silent.
Out of the desire to live, the two pirates of course wanted to return to Alka's question immediately. Thinking of the rumors about Alka, the two did not know what to do.
So far, no pirate has survived from Alka's hands, which means that even if Alka knows the intelligence, he will not let them go.
One of the pirates thought about it, opened his mouth, and was about to bargain with Alka.
Looking at the appearance of these two people, Alka was too lazy to interrogate them. He picked up the dagger and stabbed one of the pirates in the chest.
The pirate struggled like this, and his quick death brought great shock to the person next to him.
Then Alka pulled out the dagger, and blood spurted out, staining the cheek of the pirate next to him.
Alka put the bloody dagger on the face of the pirate next to him, and asked calmly: "Do you want to tell me now?"
The pirate nodded frantically and said quickly: "The reason we came to this island is mainly because we are looking for your traces, and the captain speculated that the target may be found on the island in this direction."
"So what is your situation now?"
Hearing this, the pirate shook his head. Even though his own safety is now in the hands of others, he doesn't know what to say.
"Our pirate group may be disbanded. The captain didn't care about our lives in order to chase you. Most of our brothers died at the hands of the church knights."
"Many of them have gone crazy here. The captain won't allow us to leave the dark sea and take a break."
Hearing the pirate's words, Alka nodded, with obvious joy on his face.
Then he carelessly slashed the pirate's neck with the dagger, and ignored his struggling figure with his hands covering his neck.
Looking at Sofia who had just jumped off the boat and landed on the beach.
At this time, Sofia was pressing her hands on the sand, and circles of semicircular silver waves expanded outward from her front.
She was investigating the entire island.
As her strength increased, her exploration naturally went further, but such exploration only expanded the scope to the maximum.
As for the accuracy? It can only be said that it is better than nothing.
After a while, Sofia opened her eyes, turned around and said: "There are indeed living creatures, they should be going back."
"Going back... OK, we hide immediately."
When Arka killed the remaining personnel on the ship, he had already collected the slightly valuable things on the ship.
Before getting off the boat, he casually threw the three cards in the air and scattered them in different places on the boat.
Porro was still hiding in the sea, while Alka and Sofia had already hidden behind the wreckage of the ship next to them.
They were waiting there quietly, waiting for the pirates to board their ship.
When the time comes, they will be ready to receive the big gift that Alka has prepared for them.
Under Alka's special operation, the bloody smell from the corpses on the boat began to blow into the island with the breeze from the seaside.
The pirate captain, who was leading a team of pirates back to the ship and was still talking and laughing, suddenly smelled the smell of blood coming from the sea breeze.
