Chapter 185 - Dark Veiled Sea 1 (2/2)
The menacing words shook his body in fear.
“It, it’s a misunderstanding. I just wanted My Lord to sleep with Tinia and have a good time...”
“Are you using your daughter as an excuse now? In fact, she’s not even your daughter. You’re just her very old ancestor. Some random grandfather with an umpteen amount of ‘great’ in front of it.”
Helena seemed to be in a bad mood recently. Maybe it was due to how Woohyuk had bullied her on top of the pegasus.
As the two of them continued their back and forth, dark clouds began to gather in the distance.
Rumble! Boom!
They were now closing in towards the Dark Veiled Sea.
Drake picked up his cutlass and gave instructions to the ghost sailors.
The deck became noisy, and everyone's conversations were drowned out by the storm.
“Wha, what do we do? Roan doesn't want to drown!”
“Why are you suddenly speaking in the third person? Anyways, My Lord, we need to take some measure. If something goes wrong, Tinia might become a widow...”
“It's a pity that I can't use my Valkyrie powers right now. Well, even if I were in a perfect condition, it would’ve been impossible to prevent a storm this harsh.”
“This wasn’t recorded in the prophetic book... I'm slightly worried. Do you have any good ideas?”
No matter how good the Cursed Vessel Abyssal Ship was, it seemed impossible to cross this raging sea.
While everyone was restless, Drake laughed cheerfully.
“Hahahahahaha! Don't worry! The word ‘impossible’ does not exist in the dictionary of the great Francis Drake!”
“… You do realize that you’re in this position right now because you failed the exploration of the Sea God’s Temple, right? And even if you were slightly lucky last time, it might not happen again with this attempt!”
“Don’t be so fiery, you cutie saint. If you're afraid of dying a virgin, just go to the captain’s chamber and have a good time with the men onboard!”
“I never said that I was a virgin. That's sexual harassment!”
Helena pointed and scolded Drake.
She was quite embarrassed despite their situation at hand.
After Woohyuk calmed her down, he took out some items from his pocket.
[Mermaid's kiss]
Category: Accessory

Effect: Can observe and control the sea in proportion to the user’s mana pool. In the case of living sea creatures, affection must for the effect to take place.
Both were rewards from the Lost Temple.
They would prove to be useful in this situation.
When Woohyuk gave the Mermaid's Kiss to the saintess, Helena grinned.
“So you do love me! I knew you would worry about me and put me as your top priority in situations like this, even though you bully me all the time.”
“Don't misunderstand, Witch of Profanity. It’s just because my relationship with Eteria Rodinus will turn sour if you die.”
“Take care of Roan too! Roan doesn't want to drown!”
Roan shouted out loud as he continued to refer to himself in the third person.
It seemed to be a habit of his that resurfaced when he was panicking.
The irritated Woohyuk pulled out a golden rope from his pocket.
”Shut it. I might not have the time to worry about you, so I’ll tie you to the mast.”
“… Roan is not some pet to keep on a leash! I don’t want to be bound by something like a rope!”
Roan struggled on the deck in rebellion.
Woohyuk quickly finished this task after punching the troublemaker in the stomach.
“You’d make an amazing dad.”
“Stop with the sarcasm, Witch of Profanity. You couldn’t become a good mother in the first place.”
“Wow! We have a lot of similarities. Could this be fate?”
“Yes, it must be one of the many challenges and ordeals the Creator prepared for me.”
Woohyuk was really thinking of creating a new deadly sin once he would become the Demon God, just to assign Helena as a true witch.
As they stopped the useless bantering, Woohyuk injected mana into the Deep Sea Orb.
He was trying to suppress the storm as much as possible
Unlike before, he had grown sufficiently and was able to draw out the power of the Sea God to some extent.
Rumble!
He could still see the sea relentlessly raging around.
As Woohyuk concentrated, Drake suddenly shouted in surprise.
“Everyone, be careful! He’s coming!”
“Who’s coming?”
“What are you talking about?!”
The eyes of the nervous party focused on Drake.
Drake pointed down towards the bottom of the sea.
“It's the Nautilus! Davy Jones is loading torpedoes right beneath us!”
Davy Jones was Anne Bonnie’s lover, the ghost pirate Woohyuk had met before.
If Woohyuk could communicate with him, this unnecessary conflict could be avoided.
However, the Nautilus was moving underwater, so he didn’t know how to attempt a conversation.
As Woohyuk thought to himself,
Swoosh!
The water before them suddenly rose, and a huge creature revealed its head above the Dark Veiled Sea.
It was a mythical monster.
