Chapter 116 - The Inverted Hangman Ceremony

A small ship lurches violently as a sudden storm and calm waters go wild in an instant.

There was no time at all to sail into the abandoned marina on Ancient Moon Island, and the ship went straight up the beach.

The group lumbered down to the beach where the water was no longer above their calves.

The captain, whose name was Enloe, was slow to come down, and seemed to be working on something else.

Mia whipped her head around and yelled, "What are you still doing!"

"Find something to hold the boat in place, or the waves will roll it away when the tide goes out, and we won't be able to get back then!"

Tying a finger-thick rope in place, Enloe jumped out of the boat, clutching a bundle of twine, and with some difficulty waded in after the group.

The knight returned and rushed back, carrying the man straight up with the rope and catching up with the crowd again.

"It's..."

Captain Enloe exclaimed, "Boy you've got some serious fitness! More than any sailor I've ever seen, what did you grow up on?"

Carrying nearly 200 pounds of weight, Fintan didn't even take a breath and asked, his face still calm, "Can the ship be saved?"

"The anchor is down, now make another guard, and the rest, by fate."

Finally tying up his rope in the woods along the shore, Captain Enloe sighed.

Eleazar and Fintan looked at each other. When everyone was deep in the woods looking for a way out, the two disappeared straight away and then reappeared on the shore.

...

The two non-humans pulled frantically on the ropes one after the other, dragging the small ship weighing several tons, with its anchor, alive up to the edge of the woods.

Fintan ran out to carry back the anchor that had plowed a few hundred meters, knocked a rock and ripped it off, fixed it haphazardly, and turned around to inspect the broken paint.

"The propeller... It's broken!"

"Who cares if it's broken, just paddle back when the time comes!"

Eleazar clapped his hands together, "Split back up!"

"I peed myself!" Fintan snatched up the easiest excuse in a heartbeat.

"So I'm... Lost?"

Eleazar holds his chin and walks slowly back into the woods.

Sure enough, everyone was already looking for the two of them everywhere like crazy.

"I'm back!"

Fintan, pretending to carry his pants, approaches hurriedly.

Lillian splits her head and scolds him, then asks anxiously, "Where's Eleazar?"

"Ah, I don't know?"

"It's really pissing me off, can you guys be more reliable!"

The crowd searched a little longer before finding another person on the side.

Eleazar sits in a large, toppled tree, resting his chin in melancholy.

Lillian ran up to her with fire.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm lost~"

Lillian: "@#$%...amp;!"

It was a long time before the procession proceeded.

Eleazar approached the witch and asked in a low voice, "Is it a transcendent power?"

Evelea shook her head, "I don't know, it's kind of like that, but kind of not, there's a lot of resistance to interference anyway."

"That would be transcendent power."

"And did you sense anything?"

"You think too highly of me, I don't know where the wind came from, tens of thousands of meters in the sky, I haven't become a myth yet."

"What about transcendental creatures that can start storms?"

Eleazar ponders for a moment, "Too much..."

"And what about adding the blood moon?"

"These two transcendental visions don't go together at all, I'll believe you when you say there are two transcendental creatures on this island."

Eleazar held his head, which was running hot at high speed, "Let's wait until we find the old fortress, just thinking about it could wear me out with these clues right now."

The witch secretly took his hand, "Then let's go~"

"Hey! Behave yourself!"

After turning around for half an hour, they finally found their way out.

Stepping out of the eerie woods, the view opened up.

At 3:00 p.m., it was dark and the sky was thundering and flashing.

At the end of the line of sight, a towering old castle loomed in the lightning.

A road that curved forward with bottomless cliffs on either side, the sound of the waves that shook the sky, and a gusty wind that blew them blind with no obstacles to block it.

Lingyin cried and jumped into Fina's arms.

"Fifi, I miss the bed in my dorm room!"

"Good girl, don't cry, we'll sleep in the tent later."

Everyone bent over and covered their faces, blocking the sparse rain and gusty winds, and managed to make it to the castle.

The storm, which had been delayed for a long time, finally tilted down a peppery rain.

The sky completely unleashed a howl of fury, gale force winds, torrential rain, and lightning, as if the entire island was shaking.

Captain Enloe pushed hard on the door, felt the weight behind it, and cried out in despair, "It won't open, it's blocked!"

"I'll do it!"

Fintan hands out his backpack, assists with a few steps, and delivers a vicious kick.

"Dang!"

"Clang-clang-clang."

There was a jolt from the gate, followed by the hollow sound of roiling debris crashing to the ground inside.

The door, which was tightly closed, was kicked open with a hard crack.

Captain Enloe's mouth dropped open, "Monsters..."

Fintan is no longer hiding his superhuman strength and delivers another hard kick.

"Clang--"

The gate was roughly kicked open to a two-man wide gap before he transformed back into a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex, punching and kicking his way through all the obstacles in his way, clearing a pathway for entry.

Everyone quickly fishtailed out.

Mia turned on her flashlight and quietly examined her surroundings.

Enloe picks up wood from around the area and quickly builds a campfire, then pulls another board out of his backpack, makes a folding stool, and picks Seebel up.

"Missy, come warm up!"

Pulling out a blanket to cover her, he pulled out another rack and tin can and began to make tea.

Eleazar looked back.

Piano, dining table, tiered cabinets...

This is a very bad omen.

Fintan rubbed his hands together, the same doubt rising.

"Blocked from the inside?"

"That lord earl, he hasn't sent anyone?"

"That's what came to check the blockage of that group..."

Eleazar said lightly, "Let's rest somewhere else."

Mia looked back, "Why?"

"Head... Head..."

Lillian's voice suddenly filled with fear.

"Don't look!"

Eleazar rushes up and covers Fina who then tries to raise her head.

"Good girl, let's go to the restaurant next door."

"Oh~"

Fina's sight was forcibly held down, but the others had no controlled curiosity.

With several beams of flashlight light shining up, they saw a scene of unparalleled horror.

A dozen or so crimson corpses hung upside down, skinned and gutted, their chests wide open, their empty eye sockets and open mouths swaying slightly with the gusty winds blowing outside.

"Ah ----!"

Screams rang out.

Enloe picked up Missy, who was almost about to faint from shock, and rushed straight to the nearby restaurant.

Eleazar, holding Fina, who was already peeking through the hand slits, was checking out the dining room when a trailing sob rushed over and squeezed in between them.

Lingyin: "Oooooooooh..."
