I don't know when it started, but Karun has become more experienced, accustomed, and composed in "disguising" himself.

There should be a department in the Order of the Gods that specializes in "spying" and "infiltration". Karun once suspected that Bishop Burne might be one of the heads of this department because his father and son had infiltrated the Pamilais Church.

However, Karun didn't want to attract the attention of this department within the church. He usually used disguises to deal with emergencies, but most of the time, he preferred to take off the mask and breathe his own fresh air.

For example, Judge Parvaro has been away on a mission for a long time and hasn't returned home.

The Armor of the Sea God is the best way to blend in, especially when everyone else has a rotten face, making it difficult to distinguish facial features.

Sure enough, when the other black-robed figures saw Karun revealing the Armor of the Sea God, they immediately looked away and started cleaning up the bodies.

Karun picked up a body and followed the others towards the basement...

The basement was damp, not because of heavy moisture, but because of the heavy scent of blood.

The lights were on inside, and there were six eggs, with the largest and darkest one in the center.

The people in front threw the bodies into empty barrels next to them and immediately turned around to run upstairs.

Karun almost thought they had discovered his identity and wanted to lock him in the basement. But after they all ran upstairs, the last person to leave let out a sigh.

He came back down and asked Karun, "Why didn't you run?"

His voice was sharp and thin, as if his throat hadn't fully developed.

Well, not only did faces lack recognition, it seemed that voices didn't have recognition here either.

Karun didn't answer.

The other person wasn't surprised either. Instead, he took out a knife and a pipe and began to drain the blood from the bodies.

Karun watched as there were still several bloody brushes on the ground, and he understood what was going on.

So, those people who suddenly ran out earlier were just like the last two people who put down their bowls and washed dishes?

Karun added, "I know I can't outrun them."

The other person heard and nodded, saying, "Reasonable."

Observing the other person's actions, Karun picked up a knife and a pipe from the ground and began to drain the blood from the bodies.

The scene was disgusting and bloody, but for Karun now, it was still within his tolerance.

It was just a pity for these Mr. Wood's subordinates. They must have sensed that their boss had been captured, so they tried to rescue him, but they ultimately failed.

Mr. Wood's subordinates were indeed a group of desperados, some of whom had some connections with the church circle. However, Allen Manor had already withered before Karun arrived, and Mr. Wood's subordinates couldn't have had too many powerful members. After all, they had been suppressed by the Raphael family's influence here and were almost suffocating.

These guys from the Order of the Sea God were of very high quality and easily took control of the Corona Island.

If they hadn't attacked the Gengdi team, they could have stayed on Corona Island for a long time.

So, should we thank the captain for becoming the contractor for this mission?

Otherwise, would it have been our own team responsible for this escort mission that was attacked?

Fate is sometimes strange like that.

At this moment, Karun saw the other person pick up a brush and start smearing blood on the eggshell. Karun also picked up a brush and dipped it in blood to start smearing.

With one stroke, a dark shadow appeared inside the egg, as if two hands were pressed against the eggshell, followed by a face making a sucking motion, but the mouth was as big as a suction cup.

The blood quickly penetrated as Karun continued to smear until the inside was satiated, then he moved on to the next one.

"You deal with the rest."

The black-robed figure lazily left one black egg behind and went upstairs.

Karun walked up to the black egg, feeling an impulse to smash all these eggs. Here, one can intuitively feel the darkness within the church circle. The original believers of the Orthodox Order of the Sea God need to evolve into the appearance they desire by using human blood as nourishment, while the followers of the Reincarnation Order treat ordinary people's bodies as disposable containers for consciousness.

The gods are in the highest position, and their followers are also high above.

Therefore, even though there may be scum like Judge Zhihe in the Order of the Gods, it is undeniable that the Order of the Gods has indeed brought a different pattern to this world in this era.

"Squeak squeak squeak..."

There was a sound of friction coming from the black eggshell, as if it was laughing.

Karun picked up the brush and continued to suppress his repulsion, smearing fresh blood on it.

These things will be destroyed, but not now. His purpose in coming here is to rescue the Wood family.

After finishing his task, Karun threw the brush on the ground and walked out of the basement. He didn't stay on the first floor but went up to the second floor, and then continued up to the third floor.On the third floor of the restaurant, there was a figure in a black robe. He gave Karun a different feeling compared to the other black-robed figures. Karun sensed a dangerous aura from him.

At this moment, the figure turned his head and looked over here.

Karun quickly adjusted his gaze.

"Pour me a glass of rum."

Karun nodded, turned around, and walked into the kitchen. Mr. Wood had invited him to eat here before, and there was a liquor cabinet in the kitchen.

He poured a glass of wine and handed it to the person.

The person took the glass, said nothing, and just sniffed it.

Although his face was also wrapped in bandages, the bandages were completely soaked in blood. They were red bandages, and his eyes were glowing blue, which was very different from ordinary black-robed figures.

At this time, the door of the adjacent room opened, and Mr. Wood, who was tied up with a blue rope, walked out.

"I just heard a noise downstairs!"

"Yes, your people wanted to come and save you."

"What about them?"

"They're all dead."

"If I cooperate with you, you won't kill anyone on this island!"

"But the premise is that you and your people behave. Obviously, they didn't behave, and they even wanted to resist."

"The ship will arrive tomorrow."

"It's too late. You don't want us to stay here, and we also want to leave this island as soon as possible and go to our true destination."

"The ship that arrives tomorrow is loaded with supplies."

"Oh, good. In that case, we'll save even more time. You've done well, Mr. Wood."

"I just hope you keep your promise."

"Of course."

"If you don't intend to keep your promise, I hope you spare my wife and daughter. They have been imprisoned on the ship from the beginning, and they have no idea who you are. They are not part of the Allen family."

"Actually, I have always been surprised that a family who knows of our existence has fallen to such a state. When your ancestors were sailing the seas, they probably never imagined that their descendants would end up like this."

Mr. Wood smiled, "I can say the same to you."

"Hahaha." The black-robed figure laughed, "I appreciate you, Mr. Wood. There are not many people in this world who can earn my admiration. Unfortunately, you are a believer of the family's faith. Continue to contact the ship and try to get it to come earlier. I don't want to stay in this ghost place for a moment longer."

Ino finished the wine in his cup, stood up, and looked out the window, muttering to himself:

"That cat has been watching me from the window for a long time. I like cats."

Upon hearing this, Karun's heart trembled, but he forced himself not to make any unnecessary movements.

"Take Mr. Wood back to the communication room and continue urging the ship to come."

Karun reached out and grabbed Wood's shoulder. Wood glanced angrily at Ino, shook off Karun's hand, and walked towards the room. Karun followed him and closed the door.

Then, Karun stood against the door.

He heard another voice, indicating that another black-robed figure had arrived.

"Ino, what are you looking at?"

"Dart, look at that cat. Doesn't it look like my Milcy?"

"Is it the cat you kept on the ship? Let me see. Oh, the color of that cat is much prettier than your Milcy."

"It's a pity that my Milcy was lost in the previous maritime accident and sank into the depths of the sea. I think the great sea god must have liked it and took it away to accompany him."

"Have you had enough sleep? Sit here for a while, I'll go get my new Milcy."

"Okay, go ahead."

Then, Karun heard the sound of the window opening and a wave of energy fluctuations.

Was Puerh being captured?

Can Alfred protect Puerh and the others?

Will there be enough time to use the signal gun?

The energy fluctuations appeared again, and Ino's voice came again:

"Oh, look, Dart, it's so cute, isn't it?"

Damn, they were caught so quickly?!!

"Yes, as long as you're happy, Ino. Alright, I'll go back to sleep. By the way, when will the ship arrive?"

"Tomorrow morning, a ship with ample supplies will dock, and then we can board together with some blood sheep."

"I hope it can come sooner."

"It's already the fastest. I know what you're afraid of, and I'm afraid too. If we blame anyone, it can only be you for not investigating their identities before taking action. But it's okay, we still have time. By the time that colossal creature reacts, we'll already be in the depths of the sea."

"Let's not bring up old matters.""My bad, my bad. Alright, you go to sleep. I'll accompany my new Milsy and see if its fur looks like snow."

White cat? 2

Karun's heart finally relaxed.

Yes, he was overthinking. Puerh may act like a young lady at home, but she had the experience of an adventurer. How could she make such a low-level mistake? 1

As Karun untied the bandage on his face, he walked towards Mr. Wood, who was sitting by the telephone. There was a formation stone beside him.

Mr. Wood turned his head and looked at Karun's face. Immediately, he showed a shocked expression. But Karun didn't need to make a "shh" gesture to him. He understood the need for silence.

Karun made a motion of pressing down with both hands to Mr. Wood. 2

Mr. Wood raised two fingers. 1

Karun made the pressing down motion again. 3

Just now, Karun heard that Mr. Wood's wife and daughter were being held hostage on a ship, and the captain and his team were searching for the ship at the port. If everything went well, they should be able to rescue the mother and daughter.

Mr. Wood understood Karun's meaning and placed his hand on his chest, nodding at Karun. 2

Karun wrapped the bandage back on his face and stepped back to the door.

The situation was about to get complicated.

Actually, Karun could release the restrictions on Mr. Wood's power and escape with him through the window. With his own strength, he should be able to do it. After all, Mr. Wood himself was not a weak girl.

But if he acted too soon and the captain hadn't found the ship to rescue the people yet, it wouldn't be good.

Since they were here, they had to save the whole family.

So, Karun decided to wait a little longer, giving the captain and his team more time. It would be best if the captain sent up a signal flare before he took action.

This wait lasted for nearly two hours.

The once bustling town became much quieter at this time.

At this moment, Karun heard footsteps approaching. The door was pushed open, and it was Ino.

"Are you beautiful?"

Ino asked Mr. Wood while holding a white cat.

Mr. Wood ignored it.

"Hehe, you don't appreciate its beauty." Then, Ino looked at Karun, who was standing in the corner. "Is it beautiful?"

"Very beautiful."

"Yeah, it is."

Satisfied, Ino walked out again, still holding the cat.

Karun was about to close the door when he suddenly heard a sharp whistling sound, like a loud firework rising into the sky and making a "pop" sound. Karun immediately looked through the window towards the direction of the port. It was a signal flare! 1

Without hesitation, Karun ignited the Flame of Order in his hand and grabbed the rope binding Mr. Wood. The rope immediately melted.

"Let's go!"

Mr. Wood didn't ask, "Did my wife and daughter get rescued?"

Instead, he rushed towards the window without hesitation. When he landed, flames ignited on his body.

Karun also jumped out of the window and followed behind Mr. Wood.

The sudden signal flare alarmed the entire office building, and the commotion inside the communication room was immediately noticed by Ino.

As soon as Karun landed, he turned around and saw Ino, still holding the white cat, also jumping down from the third floor.

In the next moment, the Sea God's Armor appeared on Karun's body, and he shouted at Mr. Wood in front of him:

"Don't run! Stop right there! Don't run!" 2

Mr. Wood, with flames on his body, continued to run forward without caring about anything. Karun chased after him.

At this moment, a water wave passed by Karun's side. It was Ino, who instantly closed the distance between him and Mr. Wood.

The reason why Karun only tied him up without any other restrictions was because he needed his wife and daughter to be used as hostages, and also because he didn't think he could escape.

Ino extended his left hand while still holding the cat in his right hand. With his body quickly closing in, he was about to grab Mr. Wood's shoulder. The whole action was effortless and relaxed.

Karun's eyes turned red in an instant. He swung both arms and released the Blade of Dark Moon. His speed increased instantly, and he rushed behind Ino, directly slashing at his back! 7

Ino's calm and composed expression completely disappeared at this moment. He couldn't imagine why his subordinate behind him would suddenly change at this moment!

But the strong sense of crisis made him instinctively defend himself. The Sea God's Armor appeared on his body, but it was more solid and the patterns on the armor were very clear.

However, Karun's Blade of Dark Moon still forcefully pierced through the opponent's armor and continued to penetrate inward.

At this moment, the cat in Ino's hand suddenly split open and turned into a pool of blood mist, merging into his armor, causing it to turn red. 2

Karun's Blade of Dark Moon finally broke through all the obstacles and pierced through Ino's back, even completely passing through.

But Ino's body suddenly turned into liquid and exploded!

"Boom!"

A substitute puppet?Karun knew that his sneak attack hadn't truly succeeded, and he hadn't expected that the other party's love for cats would come into play here.

Not far away, a figure formed from a mist of water, it was Ino. He wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, staring at Karun in disbelief.

Karun didn't meet his gaze. Since the previous sneak attack hadn't been successful, then... run!

With the aid of the Darkmoon Blade, Karun's figure almost turned into a red light, heading in the direction where Mr. Wood had fled.

Seeing this, Ino's figure once again turned into a blue mist, chasing after Karun.

Could the speed boost from the Armor of the Sea God be this fast?

Karun was slightly surprised because he hadn't been able to shake off his pursuer. Immediately, Karun changed his direction, leading him away to let Mr. Wood escape first. Karun believed that his previous actions had definitely made the other party unwilling to let him go.

Sure enough, after Karun changed his direction, Ino completely ignored Mr. Wood and continued to chase after Karun.

At this moment, the second flare shot into the sky!

Followed by the third flare!

One flare meant retreat, two flares meant fight, and three flares meant fight to the death!

Clearly, the captain had figured out the enemy's strength and issued the order.

Karun quickly stopped, turned around, and faced Ino.

Ino also stopped immediately, standing at a distance, looking at Karun, fresh blood was seeping out from his back.

"Who are you?" Ino asked.

"Woof!"

On the slanted rooftop, a large golden retriever was running. It had a rope tied around it, and at the other end of the rope was the Sword of Arus. As the dog ran, the Sword of Arus scraped across the rooftop, creating a trail of sparks.

At the end of the rooftop, the golden retriever leaped, and the dog and the sword drew a beautiful arc in the air.

In mid-air, the golden retriever bit off the rope, and Karun caught the Sword of Arus.

After landing, the golden retriever immediately bared its teeth at Ino: "Woof! Woof! Woof!"

A terrifying scale appeared on Ino's skin, and his aura increased dramatically.

"Whimper..."

Kevin was a bit overwhelmed by this scene, after all, he was just a dog now.

But when he turned around and saw Karun standing behind him with a sword, he immediately regained his confidence and barked even more fiercely at Ino!

Just like the old times.
