Chapter 214: Chapter 27 Taking Up and Putting Down

The cold sea breeze blew over.

Soran stood on the roof of the village and watched the sea in the distance. His face did not change, as though he was wearing a mask. Only observant people would notice that Soran’s fingers were trembling slightly while his index finger rubbed gently against the blade. He had a heavy smell of blood and a rather strong killing intent.

Soran was somewhat not able to control his killing intent!

He had been killing too many people these days; from Arrendell to Snake Island, Soran had killed many.

The killings had spawned violence in his heart, which was a kind of will confrontation.

“Chi, Chi, Chi!”

A slight swimming noise came from a distance, and Soran’s figure disappeared in place. When he reappeared, a spotted venomous snake had been pinched in his palm. This was Snake Island thus there were quite a number of venomous snakes. There was a circle of drugs sprinkled around the village to expel venomous snakes. It’s very difficult to wipe out the poisonous snakes here because there was a snake cave here; cleaning up the poisonous snakes would certainly lead to a lot of casualties.

Soran pinched the snake’s head with two fingers, but the snake wrapped its body around his arm and began to tighten bit by bit. Soran’s arm became slightly cold, but he still looked at the distance in silence, as if something in the sea was attracting him. Only when he looked away from the sea did his eyes became slightly red. He had satisfied the bloodthirst in his heart, but there seemed to be more desire forming.

A flash of light appeared.

Soran cut open the snake’s body, then he reached out and squeezed out its gallbladder. He put it into his mouth and chewed it gently. A bitter, unbearable taste filled his mouth. Soran’s mouth twitched slightly and his eyebrows wrinkled. But he chewed slowly until the bitterness in his mouth had faded, and then he slowly swallowed.

He then threw the snake and continued looking at the sea.

“Special Ability: [The Desire of Slaughter] After entering the Slaughter Form, you will be affected by the killing desire. You become extremely sensitive to blood, and your perception of any killing-related gains are reinforced. However, after you enter the Slaughter Form, you must kill at least four targets to satisfy your desire for killing, otherwise, you would go crazy. This thirst for killing will grow with the number of times you change!”

This was a special ability after entering Slaughter Form.

If he remembered correctly, the first time he turned into the Slaughter Form, he only needed to kill one or two people to quench the thirst for killing.

One, two, four.

Soran noticed that the number of killings required to meet his desire grew more and more, almost doubling every time. Although it needed only four now, the more times he changed, the higher the number of killings he needed; in the end, it may become an extremely exaggerated number. This ability could greatly strengthen his power, but it seemed to bring him closer and closer to a real killer.

Sounds of gentle footsteps.

Adele Isabella’s figure appeared not far away. After the battle, she took off her armor and temporarily liberated her full chest; it was not pleasant to tighten it with a cloth strip. She stared at Soran in the distance then her whole body trembled slightly, and then her eyes were dazed; as if she saw the shadow of her father in him. For some time, her father also liked to stand and look at the sea like this.

The sea was a very mesmerizing place.

Her father lived on the sea almost all his life. Once he was a fierce pirate, but since she had her daughter, he gradually began to become milder. It was said that after he killed his enemies in the past, he would hang the bodies on the mast, or nail it to the wooden frame to be eaten by sea eagles; he would also kill everyone on merchant ships he raided. However, when Adele was born his father never did those things anymore.

This was even more obvious after her mother had passed away!

That night, she knew that her father knelt in the temple and confessed all night. He went to the temple many times because he was a believer in the sea goddess, but they were usually prayers and offerings. In Adele’s memory, his father seemed to have never confessed in the temple. She felt that her mother hated him, even at the moment of her death, that was because he killed her husband and then took her by force. But his father must have loved her very much because Adele never saw his father getting close with other women except his mother.

From then on, her father killed fewer and fewer people. After robbing merchant ships, he would not kill innocent people indiscriminately. He went to the temple every week to confess. Nobody knew what he confessed, but Adele knew that his father was always guilty of his mother.

Unfortunately, reality still gave them a ruthless blow. His confession and kindness were regarded as a weakness by other pirates. More and more people began to feel dissatisfied with him, and eventually, some people began to resist him and plot to overthrow him. It was not until his father was attacked by hundreds of people that Adele saw his once courage and fierceness. He battled the crowd like a tiger, and finally escaped with her; even until the moment of death, he did not fall!
