Becoming Their Guiding Spirit

# Chapter 225: We, ah, must not panic, just like me... F*CK!! Is it happening again?

Lucas Reeve frowned slightly. This kind of attack targeting the spirit was now useless against Skadi. With Lucas Reeve’s protection, Skadi was nearly invincible on the spiritual level, unless it was a spiritual body stronger than Lucas Reeve.

However, that was basically a god.

The horror fish trying to drill into Skadi’s spiritual world were instantly annihilated under Lucas Reeve’s divine radiance. But on the physical level, Lucas Reeve couldn’t provide much help; she could only rely on herself.

The salty, fishy smell of the sea washed over from the nearby coastline, and the sea breeze, carrying a slightly disgusting odor, blew through the entire city. The deathly silence in the damaged mobile city was dispersed by this sudden sea breeze.

The numb, listless people on the streets, as if they had lost their souls, slowly raised their heads and looked at the perennially gloomy sky.

Suddenly!

The lighthouse in the distance, long since decommissioned, seemed to darken, like ink dripping onto rice paper, constantly spreading outwards.

The numb populace first froze, then, the panic from their basic survival instincts surged into their hearts. One by one, they scattered like birds, frantically fleeing into the nearest buildings and sealing the doors and windows.

In an instant, Skadi was the only one left on the street that had been somewhat populated just moments ago.

”Hiss... What is that??”

Lucas Reeve looked at the monsters pouring down from the tall lighthouse, and the monsters continuously climbing up from the seawater along the mobile city’s ramparts. Lucas Reeve couldn’t help but roast. This was the first time he had encountered these monsters.

The little things really looked unique.

As expected of things born in the deep sea, they don’t disgrace the sea’s name.

”Go!”

Skadi made her judgment in a short time.

These Seaborn horror fish all seem to be charging at me. Why?

Skadi couldn’t understand.

In all these years wandering as a bounty hunter, Skadi had had this doubt. Why was it that no matter where she went, these Seaborn always followed her like lingering ghosts? It seemed as if there was some special mark or scent on her body that was attracting them.

Skadi carried her sword on her back with one hand, and turned the other hand into a claw, easily inserting her fingers into the wall, like a climbing hook.

And when these deep-sea monsters sensed that Skadi seemed to be moving, they, too, changed direction and continued to chase after Skadi.

”You’re thinking...?”

Lucas Reeve had already guessed Skadi’s intention.

”Mhm!”

Skadi reached the city wall and leaped down towards the coastline by the sea below, a distance of dozens of meters without any safety measures.

Skadi’s purpose was obvious. She knew these deep-sea monsters were coming for her. If she didn’t leave, these monsters would wash over this city, and who knows how many more people would die in their mouths.

”However, the number of these monsters seems a bit high. Do you have a way to deal with them?”

Leaping from a height of dozens of meters.

Skadi smashed onto the coastline like a meteor, blasting a considerable crater into the jagged, strange rocks. The deep-sea monsters lurking in the lighthouse also changed direction, frantically attacking Skadi. Countless horror fish and Seaborn merged together, forming a wave composed entirely of monsters, crashing towards Skadi.

”Need my help?”

Lucas Reeve smiled faintly.

Skadi didn’t hesitate: ”I will find a way to repay your help.”

After all, the number of Seaborn right now was truly a bit too much.

Although individual Seaborn were not strong, and could even be described as very weak—ordinary soldiers could basically handle them—the Seaborn’s true strength lay in their numbers and adaptability. Against such numbers, even the powerful Atlantis of the sea, Aegir, didn’t have many solutions.

Lucas Reeve didn’t say anything.

After all...

The red line of romantic destiny was already entangled with him. What else could he do?

Lucas Reeve just kept smiling.

His soul slipped into Skadi’s body.

Instantly.

Skadi’s left eye, originally red and brilliant like a ruby, turned a deep black. And in the center of the black was a crimson, four-pointed diamond pattern, shining with golden light.

The physique of the Aegir people was very strange.
