After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 19 The Power of the Witch
  Severe pain and weakness lingered in Ryan's heart.

He was half-kneeling on the ground, his long sword leaning on the ground to support his body, and his left hand covering the wound on his abdomen. But even so, it was still difficult to stop the blood from gurgling out.

The wound caused by the machete was too large and could no longer be stopped by simple treatment.

If this continues, the blood alone will be enough to kill him.

The situation was critical, but there was no trace of panic in Ryan's eyes.

When he decided to take the knife, he had already made a plan.

He raised his hand, and with a thought, a pile of pure white powder appeared in his palm.

——Surprisingly, it is the powder made from grinding "Pearl of Abundance".

These are leftover scraps from the last treatment for the silverback shark, but they are not too much for the human body. It cost Ryan a full 5 spiritual points to materialize these powders.

He quickly applied the powder to the wound and cut off the hem of his clothes to use as a simple bandage and tied it around his waist. After a few seconds, feeling the itching sensation at the wound and looking at the wound that was no longer bleeding, Ryan breathed a sigh of relief and put it down. Heart comes.

——Next time, be sure to manifest the “Necklace of Fertility”.

Ryan thought to himself.

After dealing with the injury, Ryan stood up with some difficulty and glanced at the headless body in front of him.

This person's status on the [Skull] should be quite high. He is probably the first mate or second mate. His combat power is far superior to that of ordinary pirates, especially his superb sword skills, which even made Ryan suffer a big loss when he first met him.

If Ryan's "Desperate Saburo" style of play hadn't exceeded the opponent's expectations, he would have been extremely likely to lose this battle.

Looking away from the headless body, Ryan looked at the panel in front of him.

When he killed the scimitar pirate before, a line of prompts in small gray font flashed before his eyes, but he had no time to check it at the time.

-

[After a period of practice and combat, learn skills - [Storm Swordsmanship] level up, "Get Started" → "Master"]

[Storm Swordsmanship (Mastery): One of the widely circulated swordsmanship in the Kingdom of Augustus. The so-called storm is to use an unstoppable offensive to destroy the enemy's defense, whether the opponent is a human or a monster, in the storm-like swordsmanship In front of them, everyone is vulnerable. You have mastered the basic stances and derivative sword moves of Storm Swordsmanship. 】

-

"The level of Storm Swordsmanship has been improved?"

Looking at the prompt in front of him, Ryan was shocked and also happy at the same time.

The daily practice he carried out whenever he had free time, the fights with beach giant crabs in the places he traveled, and the accumulation bit by bit, under the pressure of life and death by the Scimitar Pirates, finally made him break through the shackles and reach a new realm.

Because he is learning skills, the improvement of Storm Swordsmanship is based on his own efforts, so there is no sense of sudden improvement like "a sudden enlightenment".

This is why Ryan didn't notice it at first.

"call……"

Ryan let out a breath and took steps towards the broken hatch.

As his breath calmed down, he found that the noise around him had disappeared unconsciously, and there was nothing else except the sound of waves. Such a strange phenomenon made his heart tremble.

During the time he was fighting the Scimitar Pirates, something must have happened outside, otherwise it shouldn't be the case.

Holding the long sword in his hand, Ryan moved forward cautiously.

He was going to stick to the door frame and look outside. If something was wrong, he would have no choice but to run away. Right now, he is in the lowest state in history. If there is another enemy with similar strength as the Scimitar Pirates, he will definitely answer here.

Before Ryan could make any progress, he stopped.

"Tick..."

A drop of dark blue liquid dripped from the door frame.

At some point, countless dark blue filaments spread from outside the door. The ground, walls, door frames, ceiling...everything in sight was covered by them.

The dripping water splashed away, and soon a dark blue water beach was formed on the ground.

The rippling liquid surface began to rise against the current, building a slender and graceful body.

A white dress with blue sleeves and collar, a swollen and soft witch hat with a tilted top, and a dreamy pattern like fringes under the deep ice blue eyes.

"captain!"

Seeing the person coming, Ryan couldn't help but said with joy. At the same time, his hanging heart was finally relieved.

The appearance of Freni means that the final winner of the battle between professionals has been decided.

Freni's eyes fell on the headless corpse not far behind Ryan, with a playful look in her eyes: "Mr. Ryan, it seems that you are not as 'weak' as you said before."

Hearing this, Ryan was a little embarrassed: "It's just self-protection, it's just self-protection. This person just forced his way into the room. I had no choice but to draw my sword to protect myself."

"Cough cough..."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but cough, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Looking down, she saw the blood-stained bandage on Ryan's abdomen. Freni took a step forward, and her delicate body appeared in front of Ryan in an instant. Before he could react, a slightly cold and soft finger touched her gently. Injury to his abdomen.

The dark blue spiritual light rippled out, and Ryan felt as if his body was soaked in a hot spring, feeling warm and comfortable all over.

After an unknown amount of time, when the warmth receded, he found that the tingling sensation in his abdomen had disappeared. When he took off the bandage, he saw that the skin at the wound was smooth and flat, and the outline of his abdominal muscles was clearly visible, with no sign of injury.

"Come on, come out with me."

While Ryan was still in shock, Freni's clear voice came from the front, and she walked towards the cabin door with elegant steps.

"Is this the power of a first-order [scholar]? No, no, judging from the professional name, it obviously doesn't match up. In other words, is this the power of a 'witch'?"

Ryan's mind was racing with thoughts, but he still took the initiative to follow.

After walking out of the cabin, the field of vision suddenly widened. Ryan immediately looked at the place where the "black mist hemisphere" that had previously trapped Freni and Cecilia was located. He found that there was no black mist there, and there was only one kneeling on the ground. The huge mountain of meat on the ground is none other than the dead captain of the [Skull], Salem the "Mountain of meat".

And around Salem, a group of pirates fell to their knees, all of them from the "Skull".

Dark blue filaments covered the entire deck and spread along the bodies of these pirates, forming curse marks between their eyebrows.

Around the deck, there were five or six trembling pirates of the [Black Rose].

They were luckier. They stood relatively far back when the battle started and hid in the lower cabin as soon as they saw something was wrong. They were lucky enough to escape with their lives.

At the front of these people is the cold-faced female knight Cecilia.
