After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 80 Rank Limit Theory
  The previous wrestling made it clear to Santas that in terms of pure strength, he was no match for the young man in front of him who looked like a human but was actually a monster.

But the person he is now cannot be equated with the person he was just now.

After turning on the [Storm Combat Body], the highly activated spirituality not only doubled his spiritual power, but also made his body stronger with this blessing.

If it were to the level just now, Santas was confident that he could barely block it.

"Escape! Must escape!"

"What is the origin of this unknown pirate ship? It's so weird!"

At this moment, Santas had no intention of fighting and only wanted to escape.

He had already made plans. He was going to use the force of this attack to retreat, jump into the sea, and then swim back to the Whirlpool Islands with his bare hands.

He doesn’t want any of the [One-Eye] or members of the pirate group.

Although the young man with the big sword is powerful in battle, carrying such a heavy sword will sink directly to the bottom of the sea once he enters the water. Therefore, jumping into the sea to escape is his only chance of survival now.

The thought in my mind was just a thought. The silver-blue sword slashed down from top to bottom, leaving dots of ice mist in the air. Then, it collided with the silver spear.

"Crack-!"

Santas' expression changed wildly. The moment the weapons came into contact, he wanted to use the force to retreat, but the force coming from the big sword was too great and fierce. There was no room for him to borrow force, so he was crushed and crushed. down.

This power was so terrifying that even the low-level rare item spear in his hand couldn't support it, causing it to bend and deform.

In fact, the focus of different weapons is different.

As a throwing weapon, the spear was not originally forged for head-on confrontation like it is now.

The big sword is different. As a heavy weapon, it is best at cutting, and because of its thick material, it is very wear-resistant.

Normal people are rarely stupid enough to use one-handed weapons to fight with big swords. Even if the strength of both sides is similar, the one using one-handed weapons will suffer a big loss.

The bent spear shaft hit Santas' shoulder. The unparalleled force made him unable to support his legs and he knelt down on one knee.

Ryan's face was calm, but deep in his eyes, there was a hint of doubt.

"One-eyed" Santas's strength is too weak, right?

Compared with the Black Knight, it's not on the same level at all.

Santas' face was bloodshot and red, and he tried desperately to lift the sword, but he couldn't do it at all.

"Tear..."

At this moment, Santas heard the sound of flesh being torn apart.

He turned his head with difficulty and looked behind him.

He saw a girl wearing a fluffy blue and white gradient witch hat, who appeared behind him at some point, and stabbed his left chest with her right hand from behind.

Santas could even clearly feel that his heart was being squeezed tightly by a cold hand.

"It's you?"

The moment he saw the girl, Santas finally understood where the blue lines on his body came from.

But knowing this now has no meaning.

The faint blue lines spread all the way up from Shantas's calves, and finally converged between his eyebrows, forming the curse mark lines.

Ryan silently took back the sword, and when Phryne took back her hand, she thoughtfully helped Santas heal his injuries briefly.

But this move did not make Santas happy at all. Instead, it made him feel like he had fallen into an ice cellar.

He could clearly feel that his spirituality seemed to be controlled by some kind of curse mark hidden under the skin between his eyebrows. This feeling made people almost crazy.

He wanted to try to escape, to launch a sneak attack on the young man and the girl with the big sword who seemed to have relaxed their vigilance, but in the end, he let go of his hand in despair and let the silver spear fall to the deck.

He dare not gamble!

He... is afraid of death.

Ryan and Freni ignored the lost Santas behind them, but turned their attention to the frightened pirates of the One-Eyed Pirates.

Before the two of them could take action, the pirates knelt down and chose to surrender.

Even Second Officer "Ripper" Aggie, a first-level official, knelt down without hesitation, not caring about his face at all.

After all, even the second-level elite captains knelt down, and they surrendered without any psychological burden.

In this way, this encounter that took place in the waters east of the Whirlpool Islands ended with a dramatic ending.

……

[Black Rose], captain's room.

Freni was sitting on the captain's chair, her hands folded calmly on the wooden table. Behind her stood Ryan with a big sword on his back.

Standing in front of the two of them was "One-eyed" Santas, who looked lost, and "Twilight", the alchemist who was captured from the one-eyed pirate ship.

"Santas, I believe you have also felt the existence of the curse seal."

"With this curse seal, your life and death are determined by my thoughts."

"And this incident was all caused by your active attack, no one else is to blame."

Santas lowered his head and said nothing.

At this moment, he finally remembered the identity of the girl in front of him.

The most wanted in the kingdom, Son of Blood, "Dark Moon Witch" Freyne.

The kingdom's wanted notices were widely circulated. During the previous battle, he felt something familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment. "But I can give you a chance to redeem your merits. As long as you do it well, I will set you free." Freni's voice reached Santas's ears, making him raise his head in surprise. .

Among pirates, the weak prey on the strong. As the loser, he was lucky not to die. Did he not expect that there is a possibility of regaining freedom now?

"What I want you to do is very simple."

"I will let you go back, and you will serve as my 'secret hand', reporting all kinds of intelligence on the Whirlpool Islands in real time, including the main movements of the other two second-order pirate groups, as well as any suspicious things."

"If necessary, cooperate with us in taking action."

"When the Moon Wolf incident is over, I will return your freedom."

"how?"

Hearing this, Santas nodded without any hesitation: "I agreed."

Santas is well aware of his current situation.

As a "prisoner", he had no bargaining power at all. Even if the Dark Moon Witch might not fulfill her agreement, he had no choice.

"Wise choice."

Freni nodded with satisfaction and turned her gaze to the alchemist wearing a copper mask aside: "Twilight, right? During this period, you will follow Santas to avoid suspicion from other pirates, but , you must let me plant the curse seal."

The alchemist "Twilight" did not speak, but nodded silently.

She is self-aware and knows that if she wants to survive, she can only be obedient.

Freni raised her hand and pointed towards "Twilight", and then the copper-colored mask on her face fell down, revealing a soft, pale face.

It was a woman who was about twenty years old.

Soon, a faint blue curse mark took shape on the center of "Twilight's" eyebrows.

After the curse seal was completed, "Twilight" silently picked up the copper mask and put it on.

"Now, tell us all the information you have about exploring the Mingjin Forest."

Freni looked at Santas, who didn't hesitate and started telling the story.

After a while.

Santas and Twilight left the captain's cabin.

Freni sat on the chair and pondered: "So this is it... I lost control inexplicably, and took the refreshing potion..."

Ryan on the side also had serious eyes.

This inexplicable loss of control will seriously hinder their exploration of the Golden Forest.

Fortunately, there is a solution.

The formula for the refreshing potion has been obtained from Twilight.

With the level of potions that Freni's second-level professional potion can prepare, a refreshing potion is not a problem at all.

There was some silence in the room. For a long time, Ryan looked at Freni:

"Lady Freni, I have a question I want to ask you."

"Why do I feel that the strength of 'One-Eyed' Santas is a bit... weak?"

"That's what you said." Freni came back to her senses and smiled: "This is about the ultimate theory of level."

"A professional's career compatibility does not have to reach 100% to advance. As long as it reaches the minimum limit of 50%, you can try to advance."

"The success rate of promotion under this kind of compatibility is not high, and the spirituality after promotion is also weak."

"But most professionals are promoted this way. After all, after the compatibility reaches 50%, it is very difficult to be promoted."

“Professionals who can be promoted with 100% compatibility are also called ‘level extreme professionals’.”

"I see..." Ryan nodded clearly, but there was a murmur in his heart.

I don’t know how much the “+0.5 spirituality” improvement of my traveling clone will be converted into a degree of compatibility?
