In this chaotic moment, Octopus Paul’s tentacles replicated the fingers of a small child, carelessly and even slightly negligent, but a child only handled glass marbles.
Octopus guarded its owner!
It suddenly struck out horizontally.
“Pa!” Sheyan couldn’t even see it clearly, he only witnessed the Fokke family youth flying up, a great force impacted against his head pushing it backwards. After cushioning the incoming lead bullet with its tentacles, it returned in with ten times the speed. It struck against his nose bridge, and penetrated into his skull with great kinetic force, leaving a blooming black hole behind it. When the bullet pierced into his brain, it ravaged the innards completely and without stopping forced its way out from the back of his head, causing a bowl sized black hole at the back. Blood and brain substance burst out, emitting a terrible odour in its wake!
In that instance, even Davy Jones’s face leaked out an indescribable horror. Normally, his appearance would be usually filled with wild laughter and insanity, it was hard to even associate fear with his face. As Sheyan gasped for air, he noticed a line of notifications.
“Based on your perceptive sensing, you have acquired the following battle report.”
“Warning: Your perceptive sensing is suppressed by contestant no. 4421, a huge amount of your battle report has also been obtained by him!”
“Contestant no.4421 activated ability: Colliding force wall.”
“You have been struck directly by the colliding force wall, receiving 110 force damage. After deducting physique defence total damage sustained: 93 points.
“Colliding force wall supplementary effects judgement…..your spirit is 4 points, exemption of judgement failed.”
“You have been blown 7 metres away, if you suffer any collision in midair, you will receive a second time of additional damage.”
“You suffered from collision, receiving 60 points of physical damage. After deducting physique defence, damage is 49 points. Innate ability ‘Endurance’ activated, you total damage received is 25 points.”
“Force……damage?” Thousands of thoughts swirled in Sheyan’s mind. He immediately connected this ability origin should be undoubtedly ‘the force’ which was the core concept of the ‘Star Wars’ series, it was also hailed as a spirit energy. The force is formless, natural and contained mysterious strength, it was an energy innate in all life forms! If one were to carefully segregate, force could be split into 4 classes: Light side, dark side, unifying force and living force.
Obviously, this contestant no.4421 has already grasped this spirit energy, but it should be a basic type and wasn’t of an expert class. Although that was so, the terrifying energy already heavily inflicted harm onto Sheyan! If this contestant was alone, Sheyan may still attempt to challenge her. Unfortunately she was part of a party, and this person was probably a core member…..
Currently, Sheyan noticed the group of contestants. Some of them were looking at the miserable corpse, and some towards the faraway Davy Jones. Some of them were raging, but most of them had a blank and confused look! Under this freezing atmosphere, a large mechanical robotic sound boomed.
“Storyline main mission: The curse of Davy Jones, completed.”
“Fokke family fourth generation descendant ‘Morgan Fokke’ has been killed by Davy Jones’s pet sea monster.”
“Storyline main mission completion rate: 51.”
Following this booming voice, the entire Flying Dutchman shook, as though it was in a raging hurricane. Every pirate started to grab their heads and screamed, only Davy Jones lifelessly stood still. That magical pocket-sized fishbowl suddenly shattered, its glass and water drenched his body. Octopus Paul fell out and starting inflating at an astounding speed. Its eight tentacles spasmed and continually grew, and then it climbed up of the hold and jumped onto the deck, finally leaping into the ocean. It then transformed into an enormous ash-grey monster, its 40 over inch long tentacles defied the heavens as it jerked while pointing to the sky, its bowl sized suckings squirmed incessantly and it finally submerged into the sea!
Witnessing this scene, Sheyan finally understood the entire sequel of the Davy Jones who was acclaimed as a demonic sea creature.
Suddenly, Davy Jones similar clutched his head and let out an agonizing shriek! His shriek resonated out loudly, harming everyone in a 1 kilometre radius. Around the place was a huge mess as though a 12 grade hurricane had struck that area. Clearly seen, his head had started to turn irregular, a faint light blue transparent feeling enveloped it, starting from his head and swiftly spreaded out! Finally Davy Jones’s appearance looked extremely evil, his left side of his body remained human, but his right side was covered by a light blue transformation!
If one could see the right side of Davy Jones, they would describe him with one word.
Ghost.
An eerie sensation filled the entire Flying Dutchman, as though plunging the temperature by ten degrees! Following that, all the pirates started roaring fanatically, their bodies also emitted out that ghastly abnormality. Those contestant had already congregated, and sprinting with their full might towards the deck. These metamorphosing pirates obviously wouldn’t give up, and pursued them to the deck. Presently the sun was scorching, and when the pirates entered into the sunlight, the half of their body transforming suddenly emitted green smoke, causing them to release an agonizing scream as they retreated back into the ship’s hold.
Looking at this scene, a phrase suddenly formed in Sheyan’s mind.
“I swear on my soul and blood, collaborating together from tomorrow, even our offsprings will live in peace for many generations. Anyone violating this would have their blood vessels boil, breathing ceased, their flesh will decay under the scorching sun, and the breath of the earth will shackle their footsteps.”
He sighed deeply, originally thinking that he could prevent this thing from happening, but ultimately letting that bunch succeed. Sheyan previously obtained a floating ‘message in a bottle’ from a side mission, the bottle contained a heavily smudged parchment. The contents indicated a sincere oath and a sinister curse, finally it was signed by Bernard Fokke and Cooper Jones.
Bernard Fokke was obviously the founder of Tortuga castle, but Sheyan had not been able to find any clues tracing back to Cooper Jones. Sheyan roughly guessed that it could be related to Davy Jones, since Cooper Jones and Davy Jones shared the same surname. But if he naively linked this two people together based on that, that would be the same as thinking that Li Ka-Shing (Hong Kong businessmen) and Li Jia Xin (Hong Kong actress) had blood relations. He initially planned to slowly substantiate his suspicions in this world, which was one of the reason that he gifted the entire treasures of Tortuga castle over to Davy Jones. He never expected this party of contestant would be a step ahead, and quickly exploited this suspicions, reaping the biggest profits.
Both sides sunk into a deadlock situation. But Sheyan knew, these contestants had been pulled into combat mode due to Davy Jones’s earlier antagonizing shriek. They currently had to wait out their combat mode, and hurriedly return to the nightmare realm. When the contestants were basking in the scorching sunlight, they discovered that these pirates were afraid of charging up. The heaved a sigh of relief, and some even started arguing. The arguments gradually escalated, as though there was a internal distribution conflict.
At this time, a contestant roughly pushed aside his fellow comrade, standing out and pointed towards the ship hold as he furiously yelled.
“Contestant no.1018, your skull will surely be added to the top of my blacklist!
His yell carried a intimidating dizziness. Even though they were far apart, Sheyan felt his heart boil but he only laughed out.
“Hearing that, I am honored and am greatly gratified.”
That contestant’s expression was marvelous, he completely did not expect such an answer. He could only furiously scold out a few profanities.
“Do you not understand why he replied in that manner?”
This contestant’s voice was calm, it actually belonged to a woman! However, her prestige was extremely elevated in the party. The other contestant’s actions seemed extremely crude, but in her face he did not dare to be arrogant. Constraining himself he fumingly bellowed.
“Zi….. I absolutely must kill him?
Zi glanced at the ship’s hold, her eyes contained a piercing and threatening charm.
“That contestant no.1018 obviously wanted to prevent Davy Jones from walking into our trap, but he ultimately failed. Therefore his heart would obviously be dejected. But you suddenly yelled out wanting to kill him, this undoubtedly exposed that his actions had cost us greatly….. Therefore, he would naturally feel gratified!”
Before he entered the realm, Sheyan was only an average male. He even had to run from the likes of a cruel underground society head, Huashan Fei! Sheyan’s power disparity between this mysterious group wouldn’t be as huge as the one with Huashan Fei previously! Even in that difficult situation, Sheyan didn’t have any trace of dread, why would he then cower when the timber had been turned into a boat (Chinese idiom – what’s done is done).
After waiting a few seconds, Sheyan carefully surveyed his surroundings; especially the pirates who were transforming because of the curse. The more he looked the more fearful he felt. Under the daylight, these pirates were like zombies, dragging their legs lifelessly wherever they went. Davy Jones silently sat on a chair, as though he had solidified into a stone, completely obviously to his surroundings. Of course, if the curse had thoroughly took effect in his body, then he would have completely lost his sovereign dignity and became an everlasting pirate on this ship.
A greedy idea suddenly formed in Sheyan’s head. “Isn’t it a fantastic opportunity to go for a fishing trip in the captain’s room now?” However this notion was immediately strangled aside by his intellect, how would such an obvious loophole be left for him? Ultimately even if he manages to loot it, those equipments would mostly be soul binded equipment. Or even worse those equipments may even have an additional tag of not being able to be brought out of this world.
The short 70 seconds sped by, because of the corroding effects of the curse, his innate ability ‘endurance’ was already barely visible. Just as Sheyan had decided to return to the nightmare realm, he suddenly noticed a rather old-fashioned diary nearby. His heart stirred as he immediately retrieved it. This old diary had been soaked by blood and brain matter, from its position, one could infer that it had dropped out from Morgan Fokke, a fourth generation youth of the Fokke family.
Stopping till here, Sheyan finally cleaned up all kinds of tangled and complicated thoughts related to these pirates. However, the state of the Fokke family, another critical influence and the owner of Tortuga castle, remained a mystery. Of course a majority of Sheyan’s brain energy had already been used up on scheming to deal with Ammand. Therefore, this diary should be enough to unlock most riddles in his heart.
Sheyan hurriedly wiped clean this diary, he then issued an order to the nightmare imprint.
“Return to the nightmare realm.”
“Your achievement value: +2”
“Sheyan did not dare to delay any longer, who knew what would happened once his innate ability ‘Endurance’ vanished. He instantly selected ‘yes’, his body started to fade as he prepared to return to the nightmare realm.
“Goodbye, Caribbean Sea world.” Sheyan sighed, he felt an indescribable exhaustion overwhelming him. That was the state of his mind after suddenly relaxing from a long period of mental tension. He squinted his eyes to sweep his environment, murmuring to himself.
“Look forward to it….. Next time, when I return.”
Black clouds floated across the sky, obstructing the scorching sun of the Caribbean sea. When the sun rays once again penetrated through the hole of the deck, the third officer of the Flying Dutchman had already dissipated into the thin air.
Having his previous experience of returning beforehand, Sheyan immediately shut his eyes. Awaiting for the extremely peculiar weightlessness to disappear before opening his eyes.
Presently, he had once again returned to the cosmos space environment. The background was pure darkness, the only source of light was the twinkling stars from a distance. Every time he saw this scenery, a revered sensation will emerge in his heart. Once his surroundings became thoroughly clear, the distant twinkling stars suddenly clashed together, forming into a gentle light beam, casting onto Sheyan’s body.
Instantly, Sheyan felt an unbearable pain over his entire body as though his flesh was being forcefully torn apart! The pain left as quickly as it came, and vanished after persisting for 5-6 seconds. Even if that was so, Sheyan had broken out in cold sweat, and was heavily panting.
His body was enshrouded inside the gentle light beam. The starlight seemed to transform into a layer of wall, its exterior carried an unexplainable black energy hovering about, and suddenly distorted into a human face! Naturally the curse inflicted from Davy Jones was being forced out by the realm.
That black air rapidly changed, and finally became nothingness. Finally the starlight gradually dispersed, and a 3D projection appeared in front of Sheyan. This first broadcast was the entire sequence of his activities during the Paragon fleet battle, following that was the scene of him killing Little Lord Fokke’s wife, Sally. Then the explosion of the Bell and Mug, and finally the rampant and untamed Blackbeard wildly laughing as he raised his mythical sword.
The realm subsequently displayed out the following report:
“Setting: Pirates of the Caribbean world”
“Difficulty: easy (D class)”
“Pain limitations: 50”
“Additional enhancement to individual capabilities: 0”
“Current setting exploration rate:15.33%”
“Acquired new titles: Intoxicated man, Pirate ringleader”
“Mission content exploration rate: 32%”
“Completed mission score: B, (Note: Lowest: E, highest perfect score: SSS)
“Mission completion score reward: Free attribute points: 3 points (According to 20% of the weightage of selected world)
“Character current remaining free attribute points: 3 points.”
“Eh?” Sheyan looked at this line of report and suddenly felt somewhat unexpected. Renouncing the style of fighting with a party, he never expected himself to earn such generous rewards after overcoming this hurdle. In actual fact, the measly 32% of his mission content exploration rate, the reward of 700 utility points obviously indicated the dissatisfaction of the realm.
Based on Sheyan, relying on the clues and opportunities obtained in the world, if he could really have cooperated with Chris’s party;after engaging in personal interactions with the main lead, Jack Sparrow, he would have penetrated deeper into the storyline, and even uncovered and obtained numerous side missions, and accomplished them with the party’s strength. Regrettably, he placed his personal exploring focus on the Bell and Mug. To Sheyan, this was already his limits. But to a party, they would be unconfined and even could perform much better. Therefore the score of 32% mission content exploration rate, was certainly not injustice.
Following that if he had cooperated with ‘Zi’s party, then undoubtedly, her party’s mission would be able to be perfectly completed! It could even branch out more missions. The realm did not care about the difficulty of Sheyan joining forces with other contestant, it’s default judgement target was for all the contestants to unite together, and use their teamwork to achieve the maximum limit of their exploration rate.
Something noteworthy was that the nightmare realm actually gave Sheyan a mission completion score of B! Besides, it even rewarded him with a generous 3 points of free attribute points! Citing a simple example, it was like a student completing only one-third of the assignment for his teacher, but the quality of that one-third actually pleased the teacher exceedingly.
Sheyan immediately located the critical factor in his mind. That was undoubtedly that he personally influenced and changed the sequence of the main storyline in this world.
Killing of Sally, this storyline character which instigated the pirates of the Caribbean to revolt against Tortuga port.
Wrecking the Bell and Mug and changing Ammand’s destiny of originally being one of the seven pirate lords. Ammand could still become a pirate lord, but his success would have been delayed several years.
The storyline mission of the curse of Davy Jones was something Sheyan had been passively dragged into, but Sheyan had also influenced his destiny even by a minute extent. At least Davy Jones did not personally murder a blood kin of the Fokke family, thus he preserved half of his body.
Blackbeard had always been diligently searching for that mythical half of the sword. But Sheyan’s interference had at least reduced 10 years of searching!
Sheyan deeply inhaled, his eyes displaying a joyous look as he humbly nodded his head. If that was the case, then the emphasis should be placed in this when entering the next world. Undoubtedly, complying with the movie storyline to engage in battle would result in a lower difficulty. However, this would not add up to the requirements of the realm, and with this, the mission completion score would be inversely proportional to that. Since he was able to make an established aspect, then he had a direction to direct his efforts to in the future.
Concurrently, the nightmare imprint continued transmitting notifications.
“Calculating ‘insight’ ability usage…. You activated a total of 14 times of the ‘insight’ ability in this world! You incurred a debt of 1400 utility points.”
“Your current utility points is 3200 points, after deductions, your remaining utility points is 1800 points.”
“You acquired important mission object ‘Morgan Jones diary’ is unable to be brought out of this world. The next time you enter, it will automatically return to your imprint deposit (Interspatial space of the imprint).”
Once Sheyan prepared and projected out the 3D holograms of his merchandise, he then left his own stall to patrol around in the marketplace. His first goal was to collect a huge amount of information in order to grasp the valuation rate. Secondly, he would be able to gather a load of information from other sellers. Sheyan had zero worries that his absence would drain away customers, because the items he was selling were mostly strong and relevant items. For example the highly valued dark blue class ability scroll: voodoo cult basic witchcraft lvl3. That learning requirement itself already suggested a fairly high learning threshold.
Equipment rarity: Light blue
Material: life variant
