The people in the church waited for a long time, but "German Sparrow" and "Bob," who were Klein and Odis, did not return.
Since the church was not safe either, Danitz went out to look for them to see if he could help in any way.
He then saw Odis and Klein shirtless, because they had just been gouging out the rotting flesh formed by the curse.
While saying he hadn't seen anything, Danitz thought to himself: These two are really bold, having the time and energy to do this in a place like this.
The scene fell silent. Klein wanted to say something, but suddenly realized he didn't know what to say.
Just then, Odis suddenly said, "I suspect you're also under a curse. Take off your shirt!"
Danitz was taken aback: "Huh? Ah... a curse?"
Klein reverted to his usual cold demeanor as Gehrman Sparrow: "Hurry up and take it off, do you want to die here?"
Upon hearing what the madman said, Danitz quickly took off his clothes, realizing at the same time that he had misunderstood.
After taking off his shirt, Klein took the dagger from Odis, grabbed Danitz's shoulder with one hand, and with the other hand stabbed, a piece of normal flesh the size of a fingernail fell to the ground.
Danitz jumped in pain: "What...what kind of curse is this?!"
Odis pretended to sprinkle some powder, and Danitz's normal flesh and blood quickly melted away, destroying the evidence.
As the three of them dressed, Odis said, "If this isn't dealt with in time, you'll end up like those mummies, with your head and esophagus pulled out."
When Danitz saw that "German Sparrow" and "Bob" also had a fingernail-sized wound on their backs, he immediately believed their story: "Thank you."
Otherwise, he would be completely unaware, and it would be dangerous when the curse takes effect.
Odis nodded magnanimously and was about to pick up the spoils again when Danitz seemed to suddenly remember something: "Quick, let's go deal with the curse on Ellan and the others. They landed before us, and the curse may be about to take effect."
Odis paused in his outstretched hand, pondering how to bluff his way out.
At this moment, Klein coldly explained, "No need. It's precisely because we landed late that we were cursed. Those who landed early are fine."
Odis smiled slightly and picked up the extraordinary property that he had just placed on the ground.
Danitz, completely convinced, nodded: "I see."
Then Klein strode forward and walked quickly toward the church.
Odis said, "This trophy was recovered with the help of my friend, and I think she should get a share as well."
Klein thought to himself: Is the friend Mr. Garr is looking for a woman? She seems to be a demigod.
He said, "I have no objection."
"Generally, the value of extraordinary properties at this level is between 3,000 and 4,000 pounds. I will sell it as soon as possible and then divide it into three parts, one for each of us," Odis said. "Of course, if you have the means, you can sell it yourself."
Danitz, who was following behind, thought to himself: Only a fool would agree to this. No matter who it is given to, that person will definitely disappear forever with extraordinary characteristics.
Klein replied, "Keep it with you. Give me my share whenever you sell it."
Danitz was taken aback. He just agreed like that?
He watched the backs of the two people in front of him and suspected that there was some unspeakable secret between them.
Odis withdrew his extraordinary abilities: "Where do you plan to go next? How will you get your reward then?"
Danitz was highly skeptical; would they really give it to him?
Klein stated frankly, "I will be traveling to Bayam aboard the 'White Agate'."
"What a coincidence," Odis smiled. "I've been spending a lot of time in Bayam lately."
"If you're on the 'White Agate,' I can find you directly. If it takes too long to process the spoils, I'll run a series of ads in the newspapers about buying up Fursac sausages."
"After you see this, meet me at 10:00 the next day in front of the church of the Goddess of Night. Please be there on time. I will only wait for ten minutes. If you miss it on the same day, you will have to wait until the next day."
Klein nodded: "Okay."
After finalizing how to divide the spoils, the two returned to the church.
Odis continued with them, and now the group had been joined by Captain Erlan Kag, the captain of the "White Agate".
He was a middle-aged man, wearing a dark coat and a boat-shaped hat.
After sending a telegram to the Church of Storms from the telegraph office next door, he stood in the middle of the group, keeping an eye on his surroundings while chatting with Odis at the back: "Friend, you don't seem to be a passenger on the 'White Agate'."
"No need for all this beating around the bush," Odis said bluntly. "I know MI9 is looking for me."
Ayrland's back stiffened abruptly: "You..."
He didn't expect the other party to know that he worked for MI9.
"You underestimate the 'leader's' intelligence network." Odis smiled. "I'm not afraid of you reporting to your superiors afterward, because I will have already left Bansi Port by then."
"And now, you're just a Sequence 8. If you want to arrest me, I'll knock you out and throw you onto your own ship."
Uldi and the others exchanged bewildered glances upon hearing the conversation between the two. From the tone of this "Mr. Bob," they could tell that the captain, armed with a pistol and a straight sword, was no match for him at all!
After a moment or two of silence, Airland said, "Mr. Bob, thank you for helping me escort my passenger."
Odis smiled and said, "You're welcome."
On the other side of the line, Danitz smiled to himself, thinking, "Even the 'Notary Ellan' has moments of fear."
Then he realized: So this guy really is an informant for MI9! Also, who exactly is this "Bob"? Ordinary people wouldn't mess with MI9, would they? He must report to the captain when he gets the chance that a "madman" has appeared in the raging sea, along with a very troublesome person.
Klein, who was at the front of the group, also confirmed Erlan's hidden identity. At that moment, he suddenly saw a dim yellow light coming from the depths of the mist toward them.
Klein immediately became alert and quickly discovered that it was a middle-aged man carrying a lantern, wearing a dark blue bishop's robe embroidered with storm symbols, breathing rapidly, and walking with a slight stagger.
Erlan recognized the other person: "Bishop Miller?"
The middle-aged man raised the lantern: "You are, Airlan."
Aerlan, an experienced captain, did not immediately go to meet them. He simply stopped in front of Uldi and the others and asked, "Yes, Bishop, what exactly happened?"
Bishop Miller coughed twice and said, "Ancient customs are reviving. A group of cultists with filthy blood have begun to sacrifice living people and share flesh and blood again."
"After we discovered them, they used rituals to change the weather and attempted to attack the church, but they were defeated by the Punishers and fled to the mountains."
"I was wounded in battle and could not continue fighting, so I could only slowly return."
As soon as he finished speaking, a bright light burst forth from the distant fog, as if countless bolts of lightning had struck down.
By the light, Erlan and the others could vaguely see that thick bolts of lightning were unnaturally striking the mountain peaks on the shore, which were shrouded in mist.
This, to some extent, confirms Bishop Miller's words.
Just as Airland was about to step forward to help him up, he saw "German Sparrow" pop out a gold coin for divination and mutter, "He harbors ill intentions."
"Mr. Bob," who had been at the back of the line, came to the front and handed his weapon to a bodyguard. He then calmly put on a black glove.
Klein tossed the coin, and it landed head up.
This means yes!
Bishop Miller stared intently at the scene, a dark red light suddenly surging in his light brown eyes.
A fierce wind blew out from his body, snapping tree branches on both sides of the road and sending them flying into the air. All the ordinary people in the group were blown to the ground, and some even rolled several meters away.
"Imprison!" Odis stood in the raging wind, raised his hand, and pointed his black glove at Bishop Miller.
The thick air enveloped Bishop Miller, rendering him unable to move.
Klein, who had originally planned to wait for an opportunity, immediately stepped forward, opened his arms to embrace the sun, and used "Crawling Hunger" to unleash "Divine Light".
A thick, pure beam of light descended from the sky and landed on Bishop Miller, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime.
Bishop Miller's body began to evaporate, first his skin, then his flesh.
When the brilliant pillar of light disappeared, he was no longer human, but a monster made of bones and flesh, his breath already quite weak.
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
Odis thought to himself that the combination of extraordinary abilities was really important: this bishop was a Sequence 6, but he didn't expect to defeat him so easily.
Klein was somewhat envious of the "imprisonment" ability in Odis's sealed artifact, which was very useful among "control" abilities.
At this moment, six undead rushed out from different directions, clearly waiting for Bishop Miller to give a signal before launching their attack.
But now that Bishop Miller has been defeated, they have lost control and have rushed out to pounce on fresh flesh and blood.
Clang, clang, clang.
Klein threw Azik's bronze whistle again, and the six headless zombies instantly changed direction, rushing towards the spot where Azik's bronze whistle had stopped.
Just as he was about to use "Holy Light" again, he suddenly saw "Mr. Gar" pull out a red axe.
So Klein crouched down and placed his hand, which was writhing with hunger, on the pile of flesh, allowing the sealed artifact to "feed".
On the other side, Odis threw the "fire bomb" into the center of the six headless zombies, and immediately turned his back and crouched down to avoid the impact of the explosion.
Boom!
The violent explosion shook the ground, and the six zombies were blasted away, disintegrating in mid-air and bursting into flames.
The only two people still standing, Danitz and Erlan, were pushed back a few steps by the shockwave, their ears ringing.
After a couple of seconds, Danitz regained his senses: Had I just imagined it? Wasn't that an axe? Why did it look like a powerful bomb?
Airland also sighed: Luckily, we didn't clash with him just now. The "White Agate" docked in the port couldn't withstand three blows like that.
Having finished feeding, "Crawling Hunger" retracted its extraordinary ability, retrieved the Azik Bronze Whistle, picked up the top hat that had been blown away, dusted it off, and put it back on.
He said to Odis, "This property is not easy to divide. I think that as long as we intend to continue operating in this sea area, it is best to return it to the Church of Storms."
Bishop Miller was killed by two people together, so Klein needs to explain.
"I have no objection," Odis laughed. "I don't want to be targeted by these 'hot-tempered old men' so soon after arriving at the Raging Sea."
Klein pursed his lips: "Grumpy old man."
He really likes this nickname!
By this time, everyone had either gotten up or had largely recovered from the shock of the explosion.
Klein said, "Get out of here as soon as possible."
As he spoke, he took his steps at a leisurely pace, still walking at the very front.
Having witnessed the extraordinary battle, Uldi and the others didn't dare ask a single question and quickly followed.
The group returned to its previous formation and continued towards the dock.
Ta-da-da~
Just as they left the city, Odis, at the back of the procession, suddenly heard heavy footsteps.
It looked as if someone was wearing leather shoes, stepping on the road, which was mainly made of stone slabs.
Just as Odis was about to turn around to look, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere around him. He had a similar feeling when the door of the Lime Restaurant closed earlier.
His heart skipped a beat, and the hairs on his body stood on end.
In Bansi Port today, the most dangerous monster lurking in the shadows is following behind the group.
You can't turn back, you'll die!
The extraordinary individuals, including Klein, who were ahead of them, also sensed that something was wrong.
Odis quickly swallowed and said in as calm a tone as possible, "Don't turn back! Never turn back, even if it means death!"
At this moment, Danitz instinctively wanted to turn his head and ask what was going on.
Odis placed the short sword from his wooden staff on his shoulder: "Don't turn back! Keep going!"
Klein noticed that "Mr. Garr's" voice was trembling slightly, realizing the seriousness of the situation, and quickly led the team forward.
Ta-da-da~
The footsteps continued to follow them at a leisurely pace.
Odis felt a tingling sensation on the back of her head, and even had the illusion that she could feel the other person's breathing.
At this moment, the ordinary people in the group also sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere around them. One of the servants, and the first mate of the "White Agate," were both unable to withstand the immense mental pressure, while the other was probably out of curiosity.
They only turned their heads slightly; they probably didn't see anything.
Puff, puff.
Before Odis could remind them again, their heads were pulled out by an invisible force and left suspended in mid-air.
Fear and surprise froze on their faces, and their esophagus, which had just been pulled out, was still trembling slightly.
Blood was gushing from their necks.
This had a huge psychological impact on ordinary people, leaving them momentarily unable to take a step.
Ta-da-da~
Odis could sense that the footsteps seemed to be coming from right behind him.
He swallowed hard and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Go quickly, don't stop!"
