Chapter 195 Lorne: But I Refusal
Inside the cabin, Lorne gripped "Phantom" tightly, his entire body tense, maintaining a high state of alert. Not far behind him, Cattleya lay on the ground, her face contorted in pain, emitting intermittent groans.
With the powerful spiritual intuition of the "Catastrophe Priest," he could clearly sense that something was coming!
Moreover, "Blood Admiral" Señor was very close and had successfully approached the lonely little boat adrift on the dark sea.
Others sensed the different spiritual responses within the small boat, and Señor's pale face furrowed slightly.
He could sense that one of them possessed a spiritual level at least at Sequence 5, and was quite powerful. However, the other person's condition was clearly very abnormal, teetering on the brink of collapse and loss of control.
"Who the hell is this 'dog shit'?"
"Meow·-.."
On deck, Danitz and Lachi were still cautiously observing the surrounding sea.
To avoid alerting the enemy, Señor, in his "vengeful spirit" state, ignored them completely. His body transformed into a shadowy figure, silently passing through the cabin wall and floating inside.
He didn't dare get too close, but hovered above the cabin, coldly observing the situation inside.
Is that "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya?!
What first caught his attention was not his target, Lorne, but a familiar figure struggling in pain on the ground beside him.
Is she about to lose control?
Señor judged Cattleya's current condition with just one glance.
Clearly, compared to the seemingly ordinary Brando, Cattleya, also a "pirate general," was someone he feared more.
Without any subordinates, all alone, and on the verge of losing control, this is simply a godsend!
As a fellow professional, he already harbored considerable grudges against her. And Cattleya's high bounty and the extraordinary properties she revealed after her death were equally alluring.
He made a decision instantly: first eliminate Cattleya, the biggest variable, and then calmly take away the target named Brando!
He glanced at the necklace around his neck with a pendant of the same color that resembled an ancient coin, and a cruel smile crept onto his lips.
Fate is indeed on my side. At the same time, while remaining vigilant, Lorne suddenly felt a strong sense of unease! He became slightly alert and discovered that in the shadows above his head, there was a faint, eerie thing made up of countless black lines floating in the air!
That's the enemy!
But he didn't react excessively. Instead, as if he had discovered something, he suddenly turned around and pointed the gun at the doorway behind him.
With the powerful spiritual intuition of the "Catastrophe Priest," he could sense that the strange thing was silently approaching Cattleya's direction!
Without the slightest hesitation, Lorne launched an attack in that direction.
Mental storm!
Señor, who was just about to make his move against Cattleya, was caught off guard by this sudden and unexpected mental attack!
In the instant he was distracted, Lorne had already turned around quickly, facing him, and pulled the trigger!
"Bang!"
A burst of black flame erupted forth!
However, at that moment, the small boat rocked violently due to the waves! This caused the attack to miss Señor's afterimage and fly past.
Señor's figure vanished from his spot in an instant, and the next second, he appeared on the glass of the porthole like a ghost!
Lorne decisively fired again!
"Bang!"
The glass shattered, but it didn't hurt Señor in the slightest.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came. Danitz, who heard the gunshot, realized that something was wrong and immediately rushed over from the deck!
"Don't come any closer!" Lorne shouted immediately upon seeing this, but unfortunately, it was too late.
As soon as Danitz rushed into the cabin, a ghostly figure suddenly appeared behind him and delivered a vicious chop to the back of the neck.
Without even uttering a sound, he lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.
Then, Señor, wearing a blood-stained tricorn hat and with a face as pale as a dead man, slowly appeared in the cabin.
He didn't fire again, and Lorne, out of caution, also refrained from firing. The two remained locked in a standoff in the cramped cabin.
The task requires survival.
Thinking of this, Señor looked at Lorne and pointed to Cattleya behind him, who was still struggling in pain and on the verge of completely losing control.
He said in a hoarse voice, "I only want Cattleya's life; it has nothing to do with you."
Is it just a simple feud between pirates...? Lorne was thinking rapidly.
Señor continued, "She's about to lose control, and she herself is a huge threat to you. Why don't you leave her to me?"
Lorne's hand holding the gun trembled slightly, as if he were pondering the other party's suggestion.
"No—don't listen to him!" Gadriya, still struggling on the ground, cried out with all her might, "Señor is notoriously bloodthirsty! He—he will absolutely not let you go!"
Upon hearing this, Señor let out a hoarse laugh: "Haha, just as I thought, Cattleya, you're still as cunning as ever. Do you really want these two poor passengers to die for you?"
"Don't listen to him!" Cattleya shouted again, "He—he's lying to you!"
Normally, she wouldn't be afraid of Señor at all. But at this moment, she was on the verge of losing control and was powerless to resist.
She didn't know what Señor's true purpose was. But she knew very well that if this mysterious passenger abandoned her, she would surely die!
The Queen did not come to my rescue.
Her only hope now rests on Lorne.
Please,
I don't know when it started, but it began to rain lightly on the sea outside the cabin.
The wind gradually picked up, causing the already flimsy little boat to rock violently.
It seemed that a huge storm was quietly brewing on this dark sea.
After a few seconds of silence, Lorne spoke slowly. His voice sounded somewhat hoarse, as if he was struggling with something.
"If I hand her over to you, will you really let us go?"
Seeing this, Señor assumed that Lorne had been completely intimidated by his words. A cruel sneer appeared on his pale face: "I have no grudge against you. I'm just here to—take care of this lone Cattleya. There's no need for meddling in other people's business."
"You guys aren't her subordinates, are you? Even if you are, there's no need to throw your lives away for a madwoman who's about to lose control."
"How about it?" he coaxed. "Trading one person's life for the lives of both of you. It's a good deal."
Señor's offer was incredibly tempting.
Upon hearing this, a hint of despair flashed in Cattleya's eyes, who was still lying on the ground.
Although she knew very well that, given Señor's cruel and bloodthirsty nature, it would be absolutely impossible for him to leave any survivors.
But what could he do? His relationship with this mysterious passenger was nothing more than a one-time transaction. Why would the other party risk their life for him?
Just as Cattleya was about to forcefully squeeze out the last bit of her sanity and risk complete loss of control in a desperate gamble.
Lorne slowly took a few steps forward and placed his body in front of her.
"Your suggestion sounds really good."
"But I refuse."
Lorne spoke in an arrogant tone the line he had always wanted to say to himself.
"What?!" Theonir and Cattleya both showed surprised expressions.
Especially for Cattleya, she never expected Lorne to help her.
"I love to say no to those who are self-righteous, so I will not let Cattleya die by your hand today, no matter what."
Lorne gave him no further chance to react and decisively pulled the trigger!
"Bang!"
The scattered, dark flames failed to strike Señor directly. However, before Señor could even rejoice, a deadly premonition of danger from behind instantly tightened his senses to the extreme!
"Meow!!!"
With a furious roar from Lachi, a sacred golden beam of light suddenly erupted from behind Senor without warning!
"ah!!!"
A piercing, inhuman scream of pain instantly echoed throughout the entire cabin!
Thankfully, Lorne had already taught Rachel how to use the spells a long time ago. He felt a surge of relief.
He had known about the bloodthirsty and brutal reputation of "General of Blood" Señor for a long time, and he didn't believe his nonsense at all.
Señor had already experienced a "mental storm" before, so it was impossible for him to be completely unaffected.
Danitz has fallen, but Lachi hasn't been exposed yet.
His previous conversation was merely a delaying tactic to buy time for Laki's sneak attack.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly.
However, after the dazzling golden light faded, only wisps of black smoke remained dissipating in the cabin. Señor himself had vanished without a trace!
What!
Before Lorne could react, he suddenly felt his heart sink!
He felt something crawl into his body, trying to take control of it!
Señor used the possession ability of the "vengeful spirit" and directly entered Lorne's body!
"hateful!"
However, just as Lorne was preparing to mobilize all his spirituality to resist, he suddenly heard Senor's mournful cry filled with extreme terror and despair in his mind!
"No—no! What—what are these things?!"
"The Mother Tree of Desire, hurry—save it—"
He's...losing control?!
Lorne immediately realized this. Could it be—he's about to lose control inside my body?!
Completely driven to madness and chaos, Señor was unable to complete the precise possession. His translucent, twisted upper body uncontrollably detached from Lorne's body!
Seeing this, Lorne did not hesitate. He took out the last "Blazing Sun" talisman from his pocket and, at almost zero distance from the enemy, pressed it hard onto Senor's face, which was contorted with fear!
With a blinding burst of golden light, Lorne and Señor simultaneously collapsed heavily onto the floor, completely unconscious.
"Hey, how are you?"
"Give me a reply," came a slightly anxious voice.
Calderia, who had been lying on the ground in agony from the onslaught of knowledge, was not directly affected by the "Blazing Sun" spell. She struggled to get up from the cold ground.
At the same time, Lorne, who should have collapsed to the ground with Señor, suddenly stood up stiffly from the floor like a puppet with its strings cut.
Thankfully, he didn't die!
Caldelia breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could even feel happy.
Lorne slowly turned his head and "looked" at Cattleya with his emotionless eyes.
Just one glance.
Cattleya felt as if her head had been struck hard by an invisible giant hammer!
She didn't have time to do anything. Suddenly everything went black, and she completely lost consciousness.
At this moment, the small boat began to violently rock and sway in the increasingly turbulent waves.
A long-brewing, massive storm suddenly swept in.
Meanwhile, in the sea not far from the small boat.
Katarina, the "White Saintess," was floating in the air, desperately trying to avoid the burly figure behind her.
Suddenly, another bolt of lightning struck.
"Damn it! Why did I suddenly run into 'Aquaman' here?!" Katarina complained inwardly.
Having already been injured in her battle with Bernadette, she was no match for "Aquaman" Arne Courtman on the vast ocean!
She had discovered her interesting "little guy" by capturing him, and he was now at sea. Based on the principle that "the prey must never escape the grasp," she immediately set off to chase after him.
Who would have thought that halfway there, they would run into "Aquaman" Yone Courtman, who was patrolling this area of the sea!
As for "Sea King," he had come to this sea area after hearing his subordinates' reports and following the clues from divination, to search for the "Rose School" that had caused trouble in Bayam. Who would have thought that he would encounter a high-ranking witch from a witch cult on the way?
The Rose School is not a good thing.
That witch cult isn't much better!
Therefore, "Aquaman" Yone Courtman decisively changed his original target and went directly to Katarina, whom he had encountered by chance.
An attack has been launched!
In this way, the aftershocks of Neptune's attack successfully propelled the small boat away from Bayam.
Let's speed this up a bit, the sea scene is about to end temporarily, and Tracy will have more scenes later.
