Chapter 902 -273: Quickly Invite Miss Aleister!_2
The massive tentacle wasn’t even penetrated, and instead struck back in an incredibly furious retaliation—the warrior was immediately located by the conditionally fired tentacle and smacked onto the wall!
Some, quick-witted, seized the chance when the Sea Monster’s tentacle retracted, leapt up high, grabbed the dangling tip, intending to use its recoiling force to escape the room!
His plan succeeded perfectly.
Indeed, the Sea Monster paid him no heed, and just like that, carried him along through the crevice. The silver Moonlight outside shined through the gap into the cabin, appearing so bright.
But in the next moment, the passengers in the cabin heard a scream filled with immense fear and agony: “So many, so many tentacles—”
His screaming abruptly stopped.
...
Like a drizzle, the moist blood spattered down from the gap.
It was also due to this large hole that people could hear what was happening outside.
“—Fire the cannons!”
The captain’s voice rang out.
Following that, the spirited sound of cannon fire burst forth.
However, just as the sound began, the Sea Monster, as if provoked, started to toss the ship more violently, tearing apart its hull. The sounds of tentacles smashing the deck and the sailors’ screams could be heard continuously.
Fear, like the alcohol fumes on the ground, seeped into the passengers, making vomiting all the more severe. Even the cleanest person had no care for keeping up appearances at this point—they were all concerned that the infuriated Sea Monster would tear the ship apart or capsize it.
But just then, the captain’s urgent voice suddenly came from outside:
“Professor Laximi… please assist us!”
“I know… but I can only hold on for a moment.”
Another voice, somewhat chilling yet now rational and reliable, promptly followed: “Go quickly, get Miss Crowley!”
“But, Dimitri…”
A voice of a frightened and hesitant young man responded.
“I’m watching, nothing will go wrong—hurry!”
No sooner had his words fallen than a dim yellow glow permeated the ship.
The spilled liquor and vomit on the ground were as if transformed into a slab of yellow mud, with the smell rapidly fading, and the ground not as slippery anymore. Meanwhile, everyone inside the cabin was fixed to the ground by a mysterious force, like mice stuck to a glue trap… No matter how much the ship rocked, they would not slide around.
Saved…
This thought simultaneously emerged in everyone’s minds.
In another room, the Necromancer apprentices of the Spirit Summoning Tower breathed a sigh of relief, jubilantly cheering: “Professor Laximi has made a move!”
“The Professor will surely be alright!”
“Perhaps the Professor will even capture the Sea Monster…”
However, outside, the expression on Professor Laximi’s face was much graver than they imagined.
He knelt on the deck, his hand pressed against it, as the dim yellow light almost enveloped the entire ship. This caused him to sweat profusely… And the semi-spherical, dim yellow shield that emerged around him appeared precariously vulnerable under the lashing of the Sea Monster.
…Damn it!
He cursed in his heart at the military intelligence department—why hadn’t they warned them about Sea Monsters passing through this sea lane!
As a professor at the Spirit Summoning Tower, he naturally knew the secrets of the Path of Dusk…
Just like how the Path of Authority was preceded by the Path of Strength, the Path of Dusk had its antecedent as well. Although he didn’t know what that Path was called, he at least knew… it was closely related to the deep sea.
Various Sea Monsters and Sirens from the deep sea, all stemmed from that Path. Many monsters created by the Beast’s Path and the Path of Love were modeled after them.
Dark, profound, terrifying…even beyond direct sight.
Merely trying to analyze that power could drive one mad.
For this reason, even the Spirit Summoning Tower had very little detailed knowledge about them.
…But Professor Laximi had guessed why the Sea Monster had suddenly appeared.
It must have been the corpses soaked in the preserving fluid that lured it over!
Professor Laximi had considered the possibility that the corpses would be eaten by sharks passing by, which was in fact part of the plan. It would be unfortunate if these bodies were washed ashore and found by fishermen.
However, the concentration of the preserving fluid was lethal to those sharks.
After consuming the corpses, they would soon die due to “Dusk Transformation,” and their bodies would return to the sea, becoming nutrients for other fish.

But if there happened to be a Sea Monster nearby, it would be a different story—
For a Sea Monster of the same Path, whether it be the corpses soaked in preserving fluid or the fluid itself, it would all be a sweet nourishment.
This Sea Monster didn’t seem too large in size… amongst its kind, it should be considered relatively young, probably living less than a thousand years. Its current shaking of the ship was not out of any malice towards them—if so, the Sea Monster had plenty of ways to simply destroy the vessel.
Whether it be casting spells from afar, creating whirlpools and tsunamis; or freezing them solid was within its capabilities.
Or it could straight up break the ship apart with its tentacles… this was not difficult for it.
Now it repeatedly smashed the ship at the same spot, frantically shaking the vessel—in the simple mind of the Sea Monster, it was trying to squeeze out more “Juicing Magic Potion.”
It clearly did not understand what a “ship” was, instead assuming it to be a strange kind of Sea Monster. After all, Sea Monsters come in all shapes and sizes, so having an outer shell made of wood wasn’t odd at all.
