I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 76: Undying Shred Root
If the Devoted Knight were still alive, or if there was a skill that could ask questions to the undead, it would be possible to directly pull out the soul of the Devoted Knight and find out the truth.
But the Devoted Knight is now dead beyond dead, and the skill to question the undead is also unavailable.
For now, I can only go and see Louis Kaiya’s monster brother first.
Perhaps the game information will provide some hints.
[Take me to see your brother first.]
Rogel spoke.
Louis Kaiya nodded and led the way for Rogel.
After a series of twists and turns in Kaiya Castle, going up and down stairs, Louis Kaiya and Rogel arrived at the prison in Kaiya Castle.
In front of a cell with bloodstains, Rogel saw Louis Kaiya’s monster brother.
Vilen Kaiya could only be vaguely discerned as a humanoid, his body covered with patches of yellow-black, foul-smelling decaying skin, as if it were pasted on like stickers.
At the moment, he was curled in the corner, back to the cell door, making strange noises like he was chewing tough pigskin.
[Contaminated One]
[Type: Monster]
[Quality: Elite]
[Level: 2]
[Tier: Extraordinary]
[Explanation: A monster corrupted after being affected by unstable mysterious power, perhaps because he couldn’t control his eyes from seeing things he shouldn’t have.]
Corruption, Contaminated One?
Rogel’s expression was calm, but a sense of doubt rose in his heart.
What new term is this?
After saving a backup, Rogel signaled Louis Kaiya to open the door.
[Open the door.]
[This...]
The guard nearby hesitated for a moment, but Louis Kaiya gritted his teeth and then instructed to open the cell door.
Not daring to delay Louis Kaiya’s order, the guard quickly took out a key and opened the cell door.
With a creak.
The sound of the cell door opening immediately attracted the attention of the Contaminated One.
He threw away the piece of skin in his hand, showing a horrifying and ferocious expression on his faceless visage, and lunged towards Rogel standing in front of the cell door.
Rogel stood still, raising his hand to grasp its neck, pressing it to the ground.
The creature could only howl madly on the ground under the tremendous force, unable to move.
Rogel inspected it carefully, verifying no clues, then took out the Armor-Piercing Spear and penetrated its head directly.
[Captain Rogel!]
Seeing this, Louis Kaiya became anxious.
The Contaminated One had ties to his parents, and Rogel’s rash action might affect his parents too.
But there was no other way now; he hurried to have the guard check on Leokaya and his mother’s situation.
Meanwhile, after Rogel drove the Armor-Piercing Spear into the Contaminated One’s head, the creature ceased moving, appearing dead.
However, Rogel did not receive a kill notification.
Still, he did not follow up with another blow, instead waiting quietly.
The wounds on the Contaminated One’s body began to heal gradually.
Before long, it started struggling fiercely again.
[Roar!]
Rogel stabbed it again with the Armor-Piercing Spear and then drew the Steel Sword to dismember the creature into pieces.
Still, there was no kill notification.
After a while, the largest piece of the Contaminated One’s corpse began to writhe.
Then, it slowly regrew all parts of its body.
The guards outside and Louis Kaiya were shocked, almost unable to believe their eyes.
"Is it undying?"
"Try this."
Rogel switched to the Horror Demon Sharp Claw and began to swing the claw rapidly.
Swish, swish, swish!
In an instant, blood and viscera splattered everywhere.
[The Contaminated One fell into fear.]
Under the high-frequency attacks, the Contaminated One fell into a state of fear, its struggles turning into dread.
After some time, the Contaminated One returned to its former state.
On Louis Kaiya’s side.
Receiving the messages from his subordinates, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at Rogel, indifferent in his gaze and ruthless in his actions, and a trace of dread appeared in his eyes.
Extraordinary beings are surely insane.
This Captain Rogel before him probably only seems normal at other times.
Rogel’s hands continued working relentlessly.
With tenacious, high-frequency attacks, the instant-kill effect of the Horror Demon Sharp Claw was triggered!
[The Contaminated One fell into fear.]
[You triggered the special effect of the Horror Demon Sharp Claw!]
[The Contaminated One was instantly killed!]
[You killed the Contaminated One and gained combat experience.]
The instant-kill effect of the Horror Demon Sharp Claw even carried special effects.
The negative effect-listed Horror Demon at this moment also manifested a phantom, roaring and slashing its claw at the Contaminated One.
The creature’s arm fell powerless, and Rogel stopped his actions.
[You found Undying Shred Root ×1.]
[You found Contaminated Foot Skin ×1.]
Rogel put away the Horror Demon Sharp Claw and began checking the information of these two items.
[Undying Shred Root]
[Type: Material]
[Quality: Purple]
[Quantity: 1]
[Explanation: A special fragment root that grants the Contaminated One its undying traits. It might be used in crafting special potions or equipment.]
[Contaminated Foot Skin]
[Type: Material]
[Quality: Blue]
[Quantity: 1]
[Explanation: When you feel the need to chew something in your mouth, perhaps try a taste.]
Try a taste?
Try a *****!
This explanation was really a dagger.
Besides leaving Rogel speechless, still, no relevant clues were found.
[Go check on your parents.]
With a calm face, Rogel asked for a cloth to wipe the blood and flesh off his body.
Louis Kaiya nodded, instructing his men to verify.
He couldn’t help but glance at the bloodied, mangled body of the Contaminated One.
[Did you kill Vilen?]
His tone wasn’t accusatory, but incredulous.
Though Vilen Kaiya was his brother, the creature before him clearly wasn’t.
He wasn’t closely attached to Vilen Kaiya, so he didn’t feel grief over this.
However, he found it hard to believe that Rogel merely clawed at the Contaminated One for a time and seemed to have completely killed it?
[Maybe.]
Rogel replied casually.
The guard returned at that moment.
He informed both that while Louis Kaiya’s parents had spit out two worms, they were still alive, albeit unconscious.
He held the two worms in a basin, which seemed to be the ones the Contaminated One had spat into his parents.
But they looked dead now, otherwise, Rogel would have been able to see information on them.
[Did Vilen Kaiya visit the Mother Goddess Church before he started acting strangely?]
Rogel asked.
Louis Kaiya, hearing this, recalled for a moment.
[I’m not sure, but after the Mother Goddess Church arrived, Vilen was in constant contact with its people.]
[Heh, perhaps he wanted to secure their support by promising benefits?]
Louis Kaiya let out a cold laugh.
The relationship between him and Vilen Kaiya was more of a rivalry than familial.
[I understand.]
Rogel nodded, his gaze becoming deep.
It seems he cannot rest yet and needs to make a trip to the Mother Goddess Church.
