196: Chapter 196 S-Rank Berserker's Debut!

ferry no. 0819 sliced through the waves, advancing at full speed toward the southeast.

"Ah—open your mouth, Captain~"

Beside the lounge chair, Lin Keke was half-squatting next to Chen Du.

Under her black ultra-short leather skirt, her long legs wrapped in black stockings were slightly taut to maintain balance.

She held a crystal-clear peeled grape, her fingertips brushing against Chen Du's lips.

"I've chilled this grape with my own body temperature. Is it sweet?"

"It's alright."

Chen Du bit into the grape, the sweet juice exploding in his mouth.

Nearby, An Nuonuo was miserably holding the air compression gauntlet, acting as a human air conditioner, precisely delivering bursts of cool air.

How was this going to a dragon's den for negotiations? It was clearly a luxury yacht party for top-tier second-generation heirs!

"Captain, don't relax too much."

Li Yaozhi held a yellowed nautical chart, her brow furrowed.

"The divination is very chaotic. The coin stood up; this is the Kan Hexagram. That sea area ahead... be careful."

Chen Du spoke indifferently, casually flicking a grape seed into the sea.

"In this apocalypse, as long as I don't nod my head, even king yama has to offer me a cigarette if he comes."

Just as he finished speaking, the slap to the face came unexpectedly.

A layer of eerie pink mist rose without warning from the edge of the horizon.

The mist was as thick as blood that wouldn't dissolve, swallowing the horizon at an alarming speed.

Within a few breaths, ferry no. 0819 was engulfed.

Visibility dropped straight to zero!

"Hee hee hee..."

"Come here... big brother, come play..."

Bursts of erratic giggling penetrated the steel plates, like countless steel needles piercing the eardrums.

"Ugh!"

Two girls on patrol suddenly clutched their heads, their eyes losing focus and rolling back, walking toward the ship's railing like marionettes.

Their souls were being lured away.

"Hmph!"

Chen Du sat on the lounge chair, not even changing his posture.

Those eyes suddenly lit up with a molten gold glow, like two miniature suns exploding!

Tyrants Gaze!

An invisible mental hammer, centered on him, slammed ruthlessly into the surroundings!

"Shut the hell up!"

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

The eerie giggling stopped abruptly.

The two girls shuddered, slumped to the ground, and gasped for air.

"Captain, save me!"

Beep beep beep—!!

At that moment.

Xia Lai's unbelievable roar came over the broadcast: "The bottom of the ship is covered in red dots! This is too ridiculous!"

Screech—!

The tooth-grinding sound of metal friction came from the bottom of the ship.

Immediately following.

Dozens of grayish-black shadows burst out of the water, slamming onto the deck like cannonballs.

Half-human, half-fish!

Covered in slimy scales, with dorsal fins like blades, and mouths full of fine fangs split to their ears.

Despair Siren!

And it was a whole pack of them!

"Roar—!"

The leader, a three-meter-tall elite siren, brandished webbed claws and lunged at the nearest An Nuonuo.

"Heh, the takeout is here."

Chen Du didn't even lift his eyelids, taking another grape from Lin Keke's hand.

"Girls, time to eat!"

"I've been itching for a fight for a long time!!"

A roar full of violent battle intent exploded like a thunderclap in the center of the deck.

Boom!

Two deep footprints were directly dented into the alloy steel plate!

Tang Ran charged toward the group of monsters like a human cannonball.

Bloodrage War God—Activate!

In that instant, the air was distorted by high temperatures.

Tang Ran's skin turned red like a hot iron, and wisps of blood-colored steam billowed from her pores, condensing into a hideous phantom of a ghost-god behind her.

"For me... shatter!!"

The purest, most violent straight punch!

Bang—!

That three-meter siren didn't even make a sound before being blown into a mist of blood in mid-air!

It was truly blown apart!

Flesh, scales, and bone fragments splattered all over the companions behind it.

Tang Ran bathed in the rain of blood, the blood-fire in her eyes burning even brighter.

She grinned and grabbed another siren that was trying to sneak attack, her arm muscles bulging like coiled dragons.

Rip!

It was as easy as shredding a chicken by hand.

The opponent was actually torn in half by hand, its internal organs spilling all over the ground.

"Refreshing! More!!"

Tang Ran rushed into the monster crowd and started a frenzy of pounding.

The sounds of bone-cracking and sonic booms intertwined; where was this a monster siege? It was practically a scene of a superhero tearing through enemies!

"Eww... how disgusting, making a mess of guts everywhere."

Lin Keke curled her lip in disgust.

Her black-stockinged beautiful leg swept through the air, creating a sharp whip-like shadow.

Although she wasn't as perverse as Tang Ran, a golden halo instantly lit up beneath her feet.

Slow Totem!

As long as the ghostly sirens stepped into the halo, it was like falling into super glue, their movements slowing down to 0.5x speed.

"Nuonuo! Hit the stationary targets!"

"Roger! Watch my air cannon!"

An Nuonuo puffed out her cheeks and swung the air compression gauntlet.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Several highly compressed air bullets whistled out.

The slowed sirens couldn't dodge at all; their chests collapsed one by one as they were blasted off the deck!

This was simply a one-sided massacre.

Chen Du watched this scene and nodded with satisfaction.

This was the team he wanted.

Not just decorative vases who could only whimper, but a Valkyrie legion that could fight alongside him.

Right then.

A blur too fast to see clearly crossed dozens of meters, heading straight for Chen Du on the lounge chair!

To capture the bandits, first capture their leader!

It was the Siren King!

It wasn't large, but its claws were an eerie azure blue, clearly coated in deadly poison.

It judged that this man who had been lying down eating grapes was the weakest; as long as it killed him, these humans would surely fall into chaos!

It was close!

The claws were less than half a meter from his throat!

Chen Du could even smell the bad breath from its mouth.

He still didn't move, and not a drop of red wine in his hand was spilled.

Clang—!

A clear blade cry like a dragon's roar suddenly rose.

The next second, the Siren King's movements froze.

It stared in terror, watching the black-clothed woman who had appeared in front of the man at some unknown time.

The Swiftwind Wings behind Xia Mo were fully unfolded, the cyan light flowing like a dream.

She held the famous sword name, the blade's edge cold and frost-laden.

"You want to touch him?"

Xia Mo coldly spat out four words, her gaze as if looking at a corpse.

Crack...

It wasn't even clear if she had drawn her blade.

A thick layer of frost quickly formed over the Siren King's body!

Crash!

It was like a shattered ice sculpture, disintegrating into countless crystalline fragments in mid-air and falling to the ground.

A one-hit kill!

This was the explosive power of the S-Rank Talent Shadow Assassin!

Speed at its peak is invincibility!

Xia Mo sheathed her blade, her black hair dancing wildly in the wind, looking both beautiful and valiant.

She turned to look at Chen Du, a faint, hard-to-detect expectation hidden in her cool eyes.

"Beautifully done."

Chen Du unhesitatingly gave a thumbs up, "I'll give you extra time tonight."

Xia Mo's cheeks flushed slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled up uncontrollably.

A few minutes later, the battle ended.

The deck was piled with siren corpses, and the pink mist gradually dissipated, leaving only a mess everywhere.

"Phew... work's done!"

Tang Ran deactivated her transformation and plopped down on the ground.

She felt so good she wanted to shout.

"Don't waste it; these are all resources."

Chen Du stood up.

With a thought, greedy black shadows spread from beneath his feet, covering the deck like a giant curtain.

[Sacrifice beginning!]

[Large amount of siren flesh detected...]

[“Old Days” aura detected...]

The cheeky text of the notebook appeared again.

[Burp~ A bit fishy, but quite chewy. However...]

[These guys' minds are full of fear. They weren't hunting.]

[They were running for their lives!]

Chen Du looked at the text in his mind, his pupils shrinking slightly.

Running for their lives?

These elite-level sirens were actually so scared they were fleeing blindly when they hit the ferry?

How terrifying must the thing be that could scare them like this?

Chen Du looked up toward the looming shadows to the southeast.

Zhuri Islands.

"Getting more and more interesting."

"It seems what awaits us isn't just a simple transaction."

...

At the same time.

Inside the claustrophobic cargo hold at the very bottom of the ferry.

Wang Ce was kneeling in a corner.

His head was lowered, and his body was trembling at an eerie frequency.

No one around was torturing him.

Yet he let out a series of hair-raising sounds.

"Hehehe..."

"Hehehehe..."

The laughter seemed to be squeezed out of his throat, carrying a certain indescribable madness and... evil.

Opposite him.

The Ghoul Mao Mao was currently acting as if it had met its natural enemy.

This undead creature was huddled in the corner, its grayish-dead eyes filled with a fear it had never felt before.

It didn't dare to get within half a step of Wang Ce.

In the darkness, Wang Ce slowly raised his head.

A wave of eerie red light swirled in his eyes.

"Smells so good..."

"Up there... it smells so good..."
