章節 315: Chapter 315: Mutual Slaughter
The deck was crowded with people, and the situation was spiraling out of control.
"Kill!"
Shouts of battle echoed everywhere.
Clang, clang—
Viserys, wielding his longsword, stood back-to-back with the red-haired girl, blocking an attack from a crazed mercenary.
Immediately, his sword plunged directly into the man's heart.
"Die."
Thud—
This ordinary longsword was not as sharp as the Dusk, but it still easily pierced the man's heart.
Then, Viserys kicked the man's chest, pulling out his sword in the process.
The crazed mercenary tried to claw his way up, but the blood gushing from his chest drained all his strength, and he collapsed lifelessly.
On the other side, the red-haired girl's dagger was also dripping with fresh blood. She had just slit a sailor's throat.
"Huff~"
She took a deep breath.
Several mercenaries with bloodshot eyes were going mad around them, clearly targeting them.
They let out strange cries and chased after Viserys and Mia.
"Quick! Hide inside!"
Viserys quickly pulled Mia and jumped off the deck, hiding in the cabin. He then closed the wooden door and blocked it with heavy objects.
Bang, bang—
Immediately, there were furious roars and banging on the door from outside.
"Keep running!"
The silver-haired young man held his blood-stained longsword. He had just killed several people in a row, but his pale purple eyes remained calm, showing no signs of panic.
"Okay!"
Mia quickly nodded.
The two of them zigzagged their way to an empty room inside the cabin.
Bang—
They closed the door tightly, bolted it from the inside, and took a brief rest.
"Huff~"
"Huff~"
The red-haired girl was panting slightly. She was clearly frightened by the situation.
She had thought they might face terrifying sea monsters or demons, but she never imagined that this would happen after entering the Smoking Sea.
Many people who had inhaled too much of the gray fog had fallen into a state of madness and delusion.
They began to attack those around them indiscriminately, shouting 'sea monster'.
"Where are the sea monsters?"
"These sea monsters are clearly them!"
The red-haired girl took another deep breath, swallowed, and felt a chill run down her spine.
Those who had turned red-eyed had suddenly started attacking their friends, shouting about killing sea monsters.
Did they see all sane humans as sea monsters?
Mia thought about the many pairs of bloodshot eyes that had been on her and Emon before they fled into the cabin.
However, they had managed to block the door with heavy objects after they hid in the cabin, and those crazed mercenaries and sailors probably wouldn't be able to break in for a while.
But.
Actually, not everyone on the deck had fallen into madness. There were still many who were sane.
Viserys and Mia reacted quickly, covering their mouths and noses in time to reduce the inhalation of the fog. Similarly, some people had strong physical constitutions, and the fog didn't affect them much.
It was like the arrival of a plague. Some people with poor physical conditions or bad luck got sick and died, while others seemed as if nothing had happened.
Viserys and Mia hid in the cabin, listening to the sounds of fighting on the deck above.
"Kill the sea monster!"
"Kill the sea monster!"
These shrill cries were filled with despair.
If they hadn't seen the scene just now, Viserys and Mia might have thought these cries were heroic. But now, they only felt a chill run down their spines.
Thud—
The sound
of a sword piercing flesh, followed by a heavy body falling onto the deck.
The battle above Viserys and Mia's heads was still ongoing.
However, the intense fight led to increased physical activity and lung capacity, causing those who were still sane to inhale more of the fog than their bodies could handle.
Bloodshot eyes gradually appeared among the clear ones, looking like pairs of crimson orbs from afar.
A mercenary who had been holding on just moments ago was surrounded by the bodies of the monsters he had killed.
However, he was gradually losing his strength, unconsciously starting to cough from inhaling too much fog, his mind slowly descending into chaos.
At this moment, the last thing he saw in his clear mind was a crazed sailor lunging at him.
Then, he saw a sea monster.
"Hansen! What are you doing!"
The sailor lunging at him raised his sword high, then suddenly froze mid-air.
His bloodshot eyes blinked, his head tilted slightly, and he asked in a stiff voice.
Then the sailor put down his sword, helping Hansen, who also had bloodshot eyes, up from the ground.
"Quick, kill the sea monster!"
"We're almost victorious!"
Hansen, however, was in a state of confusion, having forgotten what had just happened.
He didn't know why he was on the ground or what was happening around him.
"What are you talking about?"
But after his companion's 'reminder', Hansen stood up and looked around.
He then noticed that there were severed sea monster tentacles everywhere, some still writhing as people finished them off. Not far away, several struggling tentacles were under attack from his companions.
"These are sea monsters!"
Hansen shivered at the sight, quickly picking up his sword that had fallen to the ground.
It seemed that he had been knocked out by a sea monster, and his brain hadn't reacted yet, forgetting the events of a short while ago.
The situation was clear now. The ship was under attack from sea monsters, and many of his brothers had been killed or injured.
"Damn sea monsters!"
"Kill the sea monsters!"
Without thinking further, Hansen let out a shrill cry and charged towards the sea monster tentacles being attacked by his companions.
"This fog is not simple."
Meanwhile, in the cabin below the deck, Viserys and Mia were hiding in an empty room.
Viserys was still calm, analyzing the situation. His composure eased Mia's tension considerably.
"It has a strong hallucinogenic component, causing the sailors and mercenaries to fall into illusions and start killing each other."
"But why would they say they saw sea monsters?"
The red-haired girl sitting on the bed opposite him had calmed down considerably.
Although she was still a bit nervous, she took a deep breath and asked.
