Chapter 176: Fifty-Five Thousand Pounds

The Black Tulip… Admiral of Hell Ludwell… There’s a wolf in front and a tiger behind… Isn’t this a bit too unlucky? Floating in midair, Klein was the first to notice the approaching ship. He could not help turning his head and looking down at Anderson, who was holding the black short sword and carefully examining the monster.

Somewhat puzzled, Anderson quickly glanced back at him. While staying on guard against gray-black chunks of flesh that might shoot over at any moment, he said, “That look in your eyes is strange. Did something else happen…”

Before he could finish, he reflexively closed his mouth. Then, seemingly sensing something, he leaped sideways and rolled, dodging the monster’s split-off bodies that would make his nails grow wildly. He swiftly reached the opposite side of the ship.

Straightening his back and stretching his neck, Anderson suddenly hissed.

“Admiral of Hell…”

This was no kind-hearted fellow. As a pirate admiral already known for indiscriminate killing, he would certainly feel no psychological burden over taking advantage of someone else’s crisis.

Once he weighed matters and discovered that he could use the powerful monster’s attack to kill Admiral of Stars and everyone aboard the Future, thereby harvesting extraordinarily rich spoils, he would definitely act!

My bad luck hasn’t weakened. It’s just changed form, saving up in small amounts and paying out all at once? Anderson’s expression twisted, neither crying nor laughing.

At the same time, the corresponding information surfaced in Klein’s mind:

Admiral of Hell Ludwell had a bounty of 55,000 pounds from the Loen Kingdom alone!

He was an extremely powerful spirit medium, the pirate admiral with the highest bounty among the seven pirate admirals.

On his flagship, the Black Tulip, there were not many living pirates. Most tasks were handled by the undead creatures and spirit world creatures he drove.

He killed indiscriminately, but he had no perverse love for slaughter. He was merely earnestly completing the work of throwing living beings into hell.

He had countless connections with the Numinous Episcopate, and rumor held that he possessed a ring left behind by the ancient Death!

As Klein and Anderson watched the Black Tulip, the golden brooch on Admiral of Stars Cattleya’s robe began radiating pure, bright, yet non-glaring sunlight.

Before the captain’s cabin, a blurry figure appeared and rapidly stretched taller.

It carried the ghostly aura of deathly silence and peace, yet also emitted the warm, gentle temperature of sunlight.

It was an exceptionally contradictory existence, like a wraith made from Sun Holy Water!

Both sacred and evil!

This “Sun Wraith” opened its arms and flew out at an exaggerated speed, embracing a gray-black chunk of flesh.

The sound of burning grease sizzled. The Sun Wraith and the gray-black chunk of flesh canceled each other out, annihilating one another without leaving the slightest trace.

Deep purple flowed through Admiral of Stars’ eyes, and the golden brooch shone bright. Outside the captain’s cabin window, she rapidly created one Sun Wraith after another, making them throw themselves at the gray-black chunks of flesh that had invaded the Future.

At that same time, Bloodless Heath Doyle protected Frank, Nina, and the other sailors, using swallowing and digestion to resist the monster chunks with their extremely powerful vitality.

The Black Tulip was faster than Klein expected. In only a few seconds, it entered the Future’s warning range.

The deep-black sailing ship tinged with gloomy green slowed down and stopped at the edge, seemingly not entirely clear on what was happening here.

Suddenly, Klein saw a nearly transparent eye appear in midair over the Future. It had pale-white pupils and was looking down from above, unblinking.

This… a spirit-medium version of a telescope? After a moment of blankness, Klein drew his revolver with his right hand and aimed at…
