We Agreed To Set Sail and Become the Ruler of the Deep Sea? - #145 - Chapter 145: Hidden profession [Storm Raider! 】

 Chapter 145 Hidden Profession—[Storm Raider! 】

　　Boom! !

As this jet-black thunder and lightning fell, the entire storm and even the [Secret Sea] seemed to tremble in front of the terrifying power.

The captains who were close to the core of the mine did not hesitate at all and quickly fled away from the ship.

Those people on the edge of the storm could only stare blankly at this terrifying offensive that was shocking and like a punishment from heaven.

　　However, the giant in the sea, Xia En, did not flinch even a step.

 Double ship soul power blessed him.

Meeted with the power of the rushing giant.

Moreover, a layer of faint, translucent blood armor began to appear on the surface of his huge body.

 Indistinctly, the ancient dragon’s unwilling and angry roar could be heard, and even for a moment it drowned out the sound of the roaring storm.

At this moment, this majestic giant seemed to be challenging the storm and the sky with his own power!

 In an instant.

 “Wait a minute…did he really want to!?”

 But at least at this moment, Xia En briefly gained control of the Dark Thunder Spear.

Of course, this dark thunder spear is not so obedient.

  【Ship Soul Power -4! 】

  【Ship Soul Power -5! 】

The violent thunder continued to vent its power, but it was still unable to penetrate the layer of blood armor, nor could it crush the giant’s body.

Thick thunder and lightning crashed down on Xia En’s back.

 At the next moment.

In fact, if it weren’t for the sturdiness of the [Black Swan], which has been greatly improved after the strengthening of the hull, this lightning strike alone would be enough to wipe out half of the projection body’s life.

 Shane raised his huge right hand under the thunder.

 It felt to him as if it was assimilating and swallowing everything else it came into contact with, dyeing them all into that deep, colorful black.

The effectiveness of [Sword of Judgment] attached to the spear, causing its speed to surge again, and it plunged into the sea like thunder.

  The solid and thick blood force spread out and continued to squeeze toward the center as his right hand clenched.

 The pitch-black arc flashed and spread continuously, destroying the body of the projection and the armor formed by the “Secret of Dragon Blood”.

 The power of the ship’s soul suddenly fell downwards, and was rapidly reduced by the continuous damage of lightning.

 And the target of their squeezing was suddenly the dark thunder falling from the clouds!

 The surrounding waves collapsed under this blow, forming a vacuum zone.

 In the storm, the giant held the thunder in one hand!

Lan on the Heron was also shaken and murmured in disbelief: “No matter how you say it, that kind of thing is too outrageous, right?”

The power of the ship’s soul that is falling faster on the panel is enough to illustrate the danger of this behavior.

I saw that under the squeeze of the huge force, a dark weapon that looked like a sword or a spear gradually formed in the giant’s palm.

This secret power is different from any secret power that Xia En has ever come into contact with. It is horribly destructive and corrosive.

 Seeing this scene, Loren couldn’t help but widen his eyes and came up with a guess.

The violent lightning arc is still fighting against the squeeze of blood, wrapping around Xia En’s arm and destroying his body.

　　【…】

There was an explosion in the air, and howling storm wind and thunder roared in all directions with the spear as the center.

Huge astonishment and shock enveloped everyone present, and they even forgot to make a sound for a moment.

  【Ship Soul Power -20! 】

　　【…】

  【Ship Soul Power -2! 】

Although the specific form of black lightning is thunder, in essence, it is still a unique secret power!

 Amidst the wandering black thunder snakes, the heavy downpour, and the huge rolling waves, he slowly straightened his back.

 So we can only use summoning to attract the thunder in the clouds.

 But soon, the scene they expected appeared in front of them.

Anyone who witnesses this scene will probably have a similar mood.

 As for thunder and lightning and fire, they are only its appearance.

Aware of this, Xia En couldn’t help but have a bold idea in his mind.

So, he raised the spear, gathered all his strength, and thrust the spear heavily into the body of the giant sea anemone, and let out a thunderous roar.

However, at the same time, Xia En also felt it with his body –

  【Ship Soul Power -3! 】

Even this sea anemone, which is the source of the storm, is not actually the real owner of this secret power.

　　Boom! !

 The moment the spear pierced the body of the dark sea anemone.

 Pure black flames ignited and distorted the air.

The surging heat seemed to set the sea on fire.

This force, which does not distinguish between friend and foe, brutally destroys the body of the sea anemone, causing the soft tentacles to continuously break and its deepest core to fall apart.

No matter how much its body struggles and squirms, it is of no avail.

Looking at the monster whose vitality was rapidly fading, Xia En felt an indescribable realization in his heart.

“Is this the true artistic conception of [Judgment]?”

 The so-called [judgment], the most important thing is not to use one’s own strength to crush the enemy, but to “take advantage of the situation.”

 The borrowing can be the “power” of the sea, the storm, or the “power” of the entire heaven and earth.

In other words, you regard your environment as a huge [judgment field], and you, the supreme judge here, are about to judge the crimes of your enemies!

This is the real reason why [Sword of Judgment] may touch the “field” category!

 Just when Shane understood this.

  【Skill: Sword of Judgment (Beginner) → (Mastery)! 】

　　【Description: After several times of use in actual combat, you have gone further on the road of judgment. 】

Xia En’s eyes swept across the panel, and then looked at his hands.

The cost of previously controlling the Dark Thunder Spear is now beginning to appear.

 The fine black lightning arcs have destroyed the armor formed by blood and begun to erode the body inside.

The black flame gradually spread from his hands to his whole body. The flame composed of this secret power cannot be extinguished by ordinary sea water, wind and rain.

 【Ship Soul Power: 12/100】

 It is estimated that as long as ten seconds pass, the power of the ship’s soul will be completely exhausted.

 But before the projection body dissipates, Shane has one last thing to do.

 He dived into the water below and touched the sinking carcass of the anemone.

　　【Kill the Black Color Anemone! 】

  【It was detected that “contaminant crystals” were present in the corpse. Should it be stored? 】

Xia En said decisively: “Yes!”

  【Crystal of filth +358! 】

Feeling the constant influx of filthy crystals, Xia En couldn’t help but smile like an old farmer with a harvest.

 His projected body gradually decomposed and melted under the mysterious power of darkness…

 …

 …

 Above the secret sea.

 At some point, the heavy rain stopped.

The wind and waves slowly calmed down, the dark clouds gradually dispersed, and the pale golden sunlight penetrated the clouds and swayed on the sea.

 Warm, bright.

Seeing such a scene, the few remaining captains on the [Secret Sea] could not help but feel a sense of joy in surviving the disaster.

 It’s just that the experience of this promotion ritual, especially the scene of the giant holding the thunder spear, has been deeply imprinted in their minds, and they may not be able to forget it for decades.

At this time, [Thunder] is on the deck. Loren looked at the position where the giant and anemone sank into the secret sea, and could not regain his consciousness for a long time.

Now, the pride he had just now was gone from his face.

To be honest, although in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], Loren has already seen the strength of the [Shadowless Shadow].

 But at that time, he had always felt that the [Shadowless Shadow] relied on a special forbidden relic and the power of the [Platinum Knight] to achieve such a record.

 Even, Loren once thought that the [Shadow without Face] was some kind of inhuman monster.

This kind of mentality is actually quite normal.

 Once people see a high wall that they cannot climb over, it is easy to deify or demonize it without permission.

 But now, the fact that they are entering the promotion ritual together is enough to show that——

The true form of [Shadow without Appearance] is actually a second-level Mystic Pathfinder like him!

 Such a huge gap inevitably made Loren, who has always been proud and arrogant, feel a strong sense of frustration.

 But after all, he had experienced many storms. He quickly took a deep breath, suppressed the depression in his heart, and said to himself as if he had set a goal.

 “Is it the formless shadow?”

 “You are indeed strong enough, but one day, I will catch up with you!”

Not far away, Lan on the Heron glanced at Loren strangely, wondering where he got his confidence.

 Compared with the issue of strength, what Lan cares more about is the purpose and identity of [Shadowless Shadow].

“[Shadow of the Faceless] took the initiative to hunt sea beasts in the storm to help other Mysterians pass the trial?”

Lan shook his head and quickly rejected this conjecture.

 She didn’t think there would be any secret person who would be selfless to this extent.

“Could it be that…his trial mission is to destroy that sea anemone?”

Thinking of this, Lan couldn’t help but look shocked.

As an official captain of the Federation, Lan knows more about promotion rituals than ordinary secret path practitioners, so he knows that there are hidden professions in some secret paths.

 As for those who want to find jobs in these hidden professions, the trials given by the Secret Sea will be more stringent and more difficult.

Of course, the rewards and gifts received will also be extremely generous.

Lan secretly sighed: “It seems that there is one more famous third-level powerhouse in the Seven Seas.”

“Lord Carles said that [The Faceless Shadow] is not the person’s true body, but since he appears in the promotion ritual…”

“In other words, the true form of the [Shadowless Shadow] is among these captains?”

Lan’s eyes scanned the surrounding sea, preparing to note down the characteristics of these ships.

 She had no special idea in exploring the true identity of the [Shadowless Shadow], just to satisfy her curiosity.

Not long after, Lan’s eyes fell on a ship with a dark hull with silver lines, and she was greatly surprised.

 “This is… [Black Swan]?”

 “How did it become like this?”

 Lan is on good terms with Carles and has a good relationship with the demi-human Duran.

  So she has always paid attention to the [Black Swan], and naturally she has seen the portrait of this ship.

However, the [Black Swan] in front of us has changed a lot from before, both in size and momentum.

Even if it is just a projection, it brings a certain sense of oppression to Lan.

 “Yes, I remember, there are rumors.”

“Some time ago, it had an encounter with the [Blood Duke] at sea, and luckily escaped into the foggy sea. Its life and death are still uncertain.”

“Could it be that it had some adventure in the foggy sea?”

At this time, Loren also noticed the black swan sculpture on the bow of the ship, and then suddenly recognized it.

 “It’s him!”

 “I have to ask, how is Mr. Feiya doing now…”

In the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], Feiya gave a lot of help to the Thunder Pirates, and Loren always kept this kindness in his heart.

However, Loren and Lan have not yet waited for the boat to approach.

 A unique secret power has come from nowhere.

This is the sign that the trial is over and that you are about to leave the secret sea.

 …

 …

at the same time.

Several lines of text also appeared in front of Xia En’s eyes.

　　【Trial mission completed! 】

  【The promotion ritual is over! 】

　　【Hidden Job Hidden Path: Storm Reaver (Level 3)! 】

 “Is it really a hidden profession again?”

 “But…Storm Reaver?”

 Having the last experience, Xia En is no longer so surprised.

  But he couldn’t help but be a little surprised by the name [Storm Reaver].

Captains at sea usually suffer from storms and avoid storms. What does the suffix “predator” mean?

Xia En only had time to think about it casually, and a wave of secret power that was more turbulent and stronger than before was continuously poured into his body.

 The soul and body are washed together by it, and become stronger and more solid little by little.

in reality.

Xia En opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

A powerful secret power that he had never felt before surged through his body. The terrifying power in his body gave him the illusion that he could crush the ground with just a little force.

Xia En couldn’t help but smile.

 “Is this what it feels like to be a third-level mystic?”

 “It’s so addictive…”

The increase in strength brought about by this promotion is not insignificant, and even exceeds the sum of the previous two promotions.

This can also be seen in the comprehensive quality that soared directly from 0.57 to 0.9.

 The hidden profession of [Storm Raider] also surprised him.
