Chapter 615: A Solitary Battle on a Giant Ship
Once again, Kashin heard the enemy's angry and desperate curses, which echoed in the air like a powerless struggle.
Obviously, since it could not obtain supplies, the giant ship was forced to find a way out elsewhere. In that sea area, the giant ship was like a trapped beast. It originally thought that it was about to find a harbor to escape from its predicament, but it was ruthlessly rejected. Now it can only look for a chance of survival again in the vast ocean.
These days, Kashin stood motionless like an old monk in meditation, and entered a state of deep meditation with his whole body and mind.
It seemed as if a small, isolated world had formed around him, and the noise and chaos of the outside world could not affect him.
The iron rod-like staff also lay quietly beside him, motionless, like a silent companion accompanying him.
Every night, the iron rod would begin the strange process of devouring other souls. In this process, the wisp of one's own soul in the soul space became more and more condensed, just like a hazy star that gradually became brighter and clearer.
Moreover, this soul produced a wonderful resonance with Kashen himself, as if an invisible connection was established between the two, allowing them to perceive and influence each other.
When Kashen injected his mental power into the staff, he could vaguely observe the conditions inside the staff.
He found that the staff seemed to urgently need to devour souls to make itself stronger. However, Kashen had no idea what the specific purpose of this behavior was.
He is like an explorer groping in the dark, who can only perceive some phenomena but cannot yet understand the truth behind them.
This iron rod has been repeatedly tested by Kashin using his mental power, proving that this staff is absolutely incapable of activating the spellcasting function.
After careful consideration, Kashin speculated that this must be because he had no dark elements.
Elements are one of the key factors in casting magic. Different magic requires different elements to drive it, and the dark element seems to play a vital role in the spellcasting function of this staff.
However, Kashin also discovered that the soul he had injected into the iron rod could be slowly nurtured.
According to his guess, this was an alternative resurrection technique that the shadow priest had researched for him. This resurrection technique had special requirements, that is, the soul in the staff must be strong and complete enough.
It's like cultivating a magical seed. Only under certain conditions can it take root, sprout and show amazing power.
In order to achieve this complete soul as soon as possible, Kashin did not mind killing more enemies. In his view, the souls of the enemies were like nutrients that nourished the growth of the soul. Every soul devoured was one step closer to the goal.
In the past few days, his soul could devour four to six souls every night. As the number of souls devoured increased, his soul was also growing stronger.
Moreover, he discovered that swallowing these souls contained subtle energies, which he rationally distributed and utilized during the swallowing process...
Therefore, during these three days, Kashin has been paying attention to the changes in the iron stick's soul space in meditation, while also thinking about deeper issues.
Because the giant ship had no way to get supplies, they encountered a merchant ship not long after leaving the port. At this time, they stopped pretending...
The top brass was deploying to rob merchant ships, so the attack horn sounded because they had to get fresh water.
At this moment, Kashin opened his eyes because he heard the sound of troops being dispatched...
In a flash, he jumped down from the tall wooden beam as lightly as a flying bird. After landing, he stood firmly, holding a huge hammer that flashed with faint blue light in his hand, his eyes were cold and resolute, like a killer from hell.
Then, without hesitation, he took a big step and ran towards the cabin where Popeye was, roaring: "Die!"
At this time, almost all the troops originally deployed in the cabin rushed to the deck, ready to launch a fierce attack on the merchant ship. They had no idea that a bloody massacre was quietly taking place in the rear...
Kashin rushed into the crowd like a wild beast out of control, raised the blue hammer in his hand high, and then smashed it hard at the panicked Popeyes with the force of thunder.
With this blow, the unreserved fighting spirit exploded instantly, turning into a violent torrent of energy, surging in all directions.
Wherever it went, the Popeyes were unable to resist such terrifying force and were knocked away one after another, and some even died on the spot.
In just one charge, seven or eight Popeyes were killed by Kashin's hammer. The rest of the sailors were so frightened that they turned around and fled in all directions.
However, how could Kashin let these enemies go easily? He chased them closely like a ghost, swinging the hammer in his hand continuously, each blow carrying a deadly threat.
Under Kashin's relentless pursuit, it didn't take long before more than thirty Popeyes fell in a pool of blood.
The surviving Popeyes were terrified and ran desperately to the upper floors, trying to find a safe place to escape this horrible massacre.
Kashin pursued him relentlessly all the way, and when he reached the upper level, there was another bloody storm. In just a short moment, seven more Popeyes became the dead souls under his hammer, further weakening the opponent's manpower.
After this fierce fight, Popeye and his crew finally realized that if they continued to hide in the same place, they would only die. So, they fled in panic and finally swarmed onto the deck like a swarm of bees...
The interior space of this ship's church is very spacious and bright, giving people a sense of solemnity.
Kashin gave up the chase and rushed into the church, and immediately saw the huge organ in the center of the church.
The organ is two stories high, and its huge size is amazing. It is not easy to make such a huge thing sound.
It requires at least ten people working together to operate the bellows, and two or three people playing the keys at the same time. The entire operation process is like controlling a set of extremely complex pipeline valves.
When all the parts work together, they can produce beautiful music that is loud, ethereal and shocking.
This ancient gigantic musical instrument can only be built by large churches. Playing it is a thrilling and soul-stirring experience.
The church on the giant ship is no less than a medium-sized rural church. It is equivalent to three floors of space dedicated to building the church, so when the organ sounds, the sound can easily spread for dozens of miles.
Such a big church, what a waste of space, and only religious fanatics would build such flashy things.
However, their shipbuilding level is still very impressive. At the current stage in the kingdom, no country can build such a large ship.
