172 Dragon and Mist (3)


    Although this part of the plot was a cutscene after making a choice and the Void Sovereigns’ health bars weren’t visible, the three Void Sovereigns suffered injuries that couldn’t be healed for eternity ording to what was mentioned in the epilogue. William estimated that if They stayed in Currere for a few more minutes, it wouldn’t be a problem for Them to be beaten to death by the incarnation of the Holy Spirit.


    However, the problem was the price.


    To prevent himself from turning into a new disaster after using this power that mortals couldn’t control, the protagonist in the eclipse ending kept burning his soul to fight. After this battle ended, the protagonist entered a vegetative state that didn’t react to the outside world because his soul had been burned out.


    It could only be said that this was reasonable as an internecine method.


    It wasn’t easy for him to find a power that looked safe to use, but he now confirmed that it wasn’t that reliable. It could be considered quite a wet nket.


    William immediately controlled Mirror Shadow, which was far away on Whalebone. He picked up the response terminal hanging in front of his chest and tried to break it. However, the moment he nned to do so, the Mirror Shadow clone lost its strength.


    “Don’t pray yet. Take this opportunity to summon gust and shake off the other party’s pursuit. Mist seems to be rising around us,” Captain Hobbs patted William’s shoulder and said.


    From his point of view, William had stood rooted to the ground, closed his eyes, and remained silent. He picked up the iron te on his chest and silently got himself ready. No matter how he looked at it, he looked like he was praying.


    William opened his mouth slightly. He wanted to exin, but after some hesitation, he shut his mouth.


    However, before he could take the next step, a phenomenon appeared again.


    Just as Captain Hobbs had said, the mist began to rise around them.


    At some point, the entire sea began to fill with mist.


    William thought that the mist caused by the ck dragon spitting mes at the sea had dissipated, so he didn’t pay much attention to it. However, in just a minute or two, the entire sea was filled with a thickyer of mist.


    It was as if the surrounding seawater was steaming, and the mist surrounding the ship was getting thicker. After a few seconds, William couldn’t see the outline of the empire warship not far away even with Eagle Eye.


    William ordered the ck dragon to spit mes into the sky to indicate its location. An extremely weak pir of fire illuminated the distance—the mes looked as weak as candles swaying in a storm from the Whalebone.


    “That’s not right… Usually, there’s only such mist when we’re about to reach Ava State. There’s still a four to five-day journey,” Captain Hobbs muttered to himself in confusion.


    William had never been to Ava State. After all, the map of Ava State wasn’t opened up in-game. It was said that there was a n to produce a DLC, but it was scrapped due to ack of budget.


    William knew a thing or two about Ava State. Other than reading many books that introduced the Ava State’s customs, he always heard hispanion, Remides, who had the title of Ranger, talk about her hometown more than once.


    Nation of Mist.


    It was said that every time a foreign ship was about to sail into Ava State, the mist would appear around the outsider. If the neer was a friend, the mist would automatically dissipate, and if they were an enemy, a terrifying existence in the mist would devour them.
