Chapter 981: D373. The Moon Represents My Heart
The Hero sensed sothing was amiss earlier than her other self.
Turning back ti a little, she wandered around the area several tis and even dove to the seabed, essentially overturning the surroundings.
But not to ntion High-level Demon, she hadn’t even found a few decent mid-level magic creatures.
This was already the far sea, out of sight of land. Although the Kingdom could still maintain the offshore route before, indicating this wasn’t so Great Demon’s demon cave, the vast sea within perception range surprisingly didn’t contain a single high-level magic creature.
This was obviously quite abnormal.
The rmaid magic within her body also beca active, instinctively alerting her.
‘Is there sothing strange going to erge again?’
Though she didn’t know what was happening yet, the experienced Hero didn’t panic in the slightest.
Encountering unexpected events when traveling far is very normal.
Especially in this mysterious ocean, encountering anything is not surprising.
The girl quickly surfaced, breaking through the water, shook her hair dry, and tightened her spirit, gazing into the distance.
Soon, she noticed a barely discernible black dot on the horizon ahead and to the right.
At such a distant range, even sailors with Eagle Eye Skill on lookout might not catch the detail, yet the Hero was montarily stunned.
“Is that… a Ghost Ship?”
The ink-black hull seemingly absorbed light, the towering mast, even the sails were entirely dark, surrounded by a gray-whitish mist, blurring the view.

♛: Explorer of the Polar Continent
→☆→☆→☆→✧←★←★←★←
From the distant past, the Ghost Ship is within the Holy City thriving on fishery, spreading countless tales and uncertain images.
Despite the visible ship shape, traversing the Kingdom’s shipbuilding history, no similar paradigm can be found.
Scholars have discovered that the Ghost Ship legend first only circulated within the Kingdom, indicating its first appearing sea region was near the Kingdom’s coast.
Though the Kingdom lies at the southern end of Gate Continent, beyond which only fragnted, uncivilized islands remain with no other continent.
So, where exactly did this ship co from?
Bards sang thus:
It’s the southernmost point, the end of the stars, beyond the Vast Nine Continents, the tenth continent…
Unlike other continents, sowhat recorded in data, it’s a legend beyond legends, truly, completely unknown, captivating scholars and adventurers alike.
Unfortunately, the past Kingdom couldn’t reach the southern polar, even unable to venture to the offshore island, making the alluring legend re daydream, adding to the lant.
Although to most people today, the Ghost Ship had beco an outdated tale, when the Hero initially ca to the Holy City, she intercepted the precisely charted sea map from the Black Dream Sect’s disciples, recording its exact route.
As the Black Dream Sect’s Key of the Door, actually the Pope’s daughter, even viewed as a potential Saintess candidate once.
Born in the Holy City, the Black Dream Key, though not specialized in navigation, was intelligent and gifted from childhood, accumulated substantial related knowledge, rivaling ordinary scholars.
For better access and even manipulation of the Great Demon: Qi ng, she sought ways to venture into the unknown far seas.
At that ti, the Kingdom’s nautical technology was stagnant; even if Black Gate used massive resources secretly, constructing a ship was not considered.
Therefore, her gaze naturally fell on the legendary Ghost Ship.
Even though the Black Dream Key now idly spends every day in the Cathedral, she nonetheless is a Pantheon Mage.
After efforts, she successfully locked onto the Ghost Ship’s cruising trajectory and even discovered the submarine harbor used when Moon People ventured to the earth from various traces within the legends.
After acquiring this crucial intelligence, the Black Dream Sect planned to use it as a bargaining chip, disguise it as an ordinary far-sea mission, to exchange for investnts and escort.
Though the Kingdom retreated from the ocean, it didn’t an no one’s heart was stirred.
Compared to the established land territory, the unknown vast ocean undoubtedly held more interests, and past successes added a tempting allure to this unknown.
Back then, the Nocturnal Gem handed to the Sergeant by the Border Count played a key role in defeating the Corrupted Phoenix, mined from the far sea’s sole specin.
Moreover, the existence of Nether Sea Dream wasn’t known then. If the Black Dream Key indeed provided the Ghost Ship’s route, even knowing cooperation with Black Gate was collaborating with danger, many Great Nobles would be tempted to stake huge bets.
However, this plan collapsed due to this and that unexpected circumstances before execution.
Afterward, the Hero didn’t pay special attention to the Ghost Ship’s movent.
After all, this thing had been drifting on the sea for many years before she was born without causing any casualties.
Unexpectedly, a Ghost Ship appeared here. In a mont of brief stupor, the Hero quickly reacted, a trace of curiosity rising in her heart. She was about to move closer to see if it indeed originated from the unknown continent.
But before she could make a move, an unexpected turn of events occurred.
The Ghost Ship, calmly sailing across the sea, was suddenly illuminated by a faint streak of blue light from the once-still ocean below.
That cluster of azure light spread like an infection at an alarming speed, engulfing a massive sea area in no ti, extending to the unseen horizon, transforming the junction of sea and sky into a dazzling plateau of light.

The sea light shone brightly, contrasting with the dark clouds above, creating an upside-down illusion of heaven and earth.
This scene montarily stunned the Hero, but she quickly recognized the iconic scenery.
“——Shipwreck Group!?”
The transformation of the shipwreck fish group into a Shipwreck Group is accompanied by an eruption of Magic Power that illuminates the entire sea area.
But this is not a natural beauty, nor is it the characteristic of Magic Creatures; instead, it is a disaster on.
At the next mont, the black sails of the Ghost Ship swelled completely, and the ship, which was sailing slowly, suddenly accelerated to extre speed, becoming a fleeting shadow.
No waves could be seen under the hull, moving over the sea at an incredible pace, attempting to escape the Shipwreck Group’s grasp.
The Shipwreck Group, having locked onto it, also moved, both entities rapidly approaching each other from the diagonal front.
“Damn, this could affect the fleet!”
Realizing this, the Hero’s expression slightly changed.
Earlier, she, the Offshore Nun, and the Depraved Hero had set off from three directions; now, they ford an uneven triangle.
The fleet was positioned at the triangle’s center.
Now, the Ghost Ship and the Shipwreck Group were charging from the line on her and the Nun’s side, directly towards the corner where the Depraved Hero was, potentially impacting the fleet.
The dark clouds above were driven by the Magic Power of the black sails, rolling in massively.
The Ghost Ship, which was rely a tiny black dot like dust monts ago, had enlarged to the size of a thumbnail in a blink of an eye.
Simultaneously, the Offshore Nun’s voice burst through the communication spell:
“Everyone, beware — it’s the Shipwreck Group!!!”
The Hero’s expression instantly beca solemn.
If it were just the flagship’s Ironclad Ship, there might still be ti to steer and evade, but the other old-fashioned ships in the fleet might not be as agile.
Although the fleet currently seed not to be in the direct path of the two, she did not dare to gamble on whether the Ghost Ship would change direction or even charge towards the fleet to lure the Shipwreck Group away.
If that’s the case—
But before the Hero could clench her fist, an arrogant laugh resonated in her mind:
“Kekeke! Don’t compete with ! Tonight, that thing’s going on the grill!”
“Shrimp!”

Moon Magic rapidly surged.
In the dim sky, the Ashen Moon silently appeared.
Then, grayish-black raindrops fell, like scattered embers, dyeing the world into a dark realm.
The full Ashen Moon began moving, releasing an invisible heavy pressure that lowered the sea level by several ters, heading straight for the azure torrent beneath the sea.
