Chapter 105 - Strength Absorption
Chapter 105: Strength Absorption
Davy Jones and Roy stared at each other for a while before he finally took out the pipe in his mouth.
However, the moment he opened his mouth, his tone was very unfriendly…
“Demon, I’ve been tolerating you for a long time!” Dave Jones said. “How many souls do you want to take away from me?”
Roy shook his tail in surprise. “That’s strange. I thought you were no longer carrying out your duty to guide souls?”
“Even if I’m not carrying out my duty, it doesn’t mean that I can let you plunder souls!” Davy Jones tapped the side of the ship with his crab-like left hand. “I won’t look into the little girl’s soul anymore, but you’ve kept killing more pirates and stealing their souls. If I allow you to go on like this, are you planning to kill everyone on this ocean?”
“I’ve said that this is a part of the demon contract!” Roy did not care so much. “It’s easy for me to stop. Just hand over the pirate with the missing ear and his pirate crew. But the pirates don’t seem to plan on doing so!”
Davy Jones was actually quite speechless about this. Indeed, if the pirates could hand over the murderers, there would not be so much trouble. However, if the pirates were so obedient, would they still be called pirates?
Even the terrifying Devil of the Seas could not control the thoughts of pirates nor what they wanted to do, but he had to put a stop to the expanding killing of Roy and Cassandra.
It was not because Roy had snatched the souls of these dead pirates… In any case, Davy Jones was no longer guiding souls now, and he could not be bothered with where these souls went. But if the matter involved the Pirate Lords, Davy Jones had to manage it.
He could not let Roy kill Ammand.
The reason for this was naturally because of Calypso, the sea goddess!
Back then, Davy Jones fell in love with Calypso and willingly accepted the position of the Flying Dutchman’s captain to help Calypso guide the souls of those who died at sea so that he could have a date with her once every ten years. However, he did not expect the sea goddess to be so temperamental. She stood Davy Jones up and did not go to the appointment.
The heartbroken Davy Jones gave birth to hatred from love. He dug out his heart and buried it with the love letters he wrote to Calypso. But this was not enough. He told the Nine Pirate Lords about the method to seal Calypso and used them to seal Calypso so that she would become an ordinary woman. He thought that once she lost her power, Calypso would change her mind and be with him again.
Unfortunately, this move did not seem to work on Calypso. Davy Jones failed to wait for Calypso to change her mind. Instead, the curse he suffered continued.
Although he did not admit it, Davy Jones regretted it. He knew that if the seal on Calypso was not removed, or if she did not die, the curse on the Flying Dutchman would be unable to be undone. Back then, when they sealed Calypso, the Nine Pirate Lords held a sealing item in their hands, and only they knew what this item was.
Ammand was also one of the Pirate Lords who had participated in the sealing ritual back then. If Roy killed Ammand, then this sealing item would never be found again!
At that time, Calypso would be sealed forever, and the curse on the Flying Dutchman would also never be lifted…
This was a serious matter. Of course, Davy Jones could not watch Ammand be killed, so he could only appear here and save Ammand’s life.
Ammand naturally knew why Davy Jones came, and he was extremely glad. He knew that as long as he still had the token, Davy Jones would do everything possible to protect him.
“Since you don’t want to back down, then I can only expel you!” As expected, Davy Jones said this decisively to Roy after being silent for a bit.
As his voice fell, the huge Kraken under the sea also emerged. Its enormous tentacles broke out of the water again, and this time, several tentacles interweaved into a large net that swept toward Roy.
Roy flapped his demon wings and dodged a direct attack from one of the tentacles as Frostmourne slashed at it.
But to Roy’s surprise, the destructive power of Frostmourne failed to cut off the tentacle!
The Kraken’s tentacles were covered with a thick layer of dead coral and algae-shaped shells. These things made the Kraken itch with unbearable pain, but at the same time, they provided a layer of defense for the Kraken. In addition, the tentacles were already tough to begin with, so after Frostmourne cut down, the resistance it received was immense.
Compared to that, Frostmourne’s attack was not as effective as the frost power attack. The defensive layer formed by coral and algae could isolate physical attacks but not the transmission of temperature. After the Kraken had stopped Roy’s frozen air mass earlier, the Kraken had suffered some injuries. The roar let out at that time proved this.
In the air, Roy dodged and dodged the Kraken’s relentless attacks, but he did not put away Frostmourne.
He certainly knew that Frostmourne’s attack did not have much effect on the Kraken, but what he wanted to do was not to cause injury to the Kraken.
Looking for another opportunity, Roy fiercely stabbed at a passing tentacle.
This time, Frostmourne’s tip finally pierced a little, and Roy could see some turbid liquid coming out from where it stabbed. At the same time, a faint light flashed from Frostmourne.
A huge force transmitted from Frostmourne and then merged into Roy’s body!
This was Strength Absorption!
Roy had especially set this attribute for Frostmourne so that he could use it when he encountered large creatures!
This attribute was actually very useless when used against ordinary people. This was because the effect of Strength Absorption could only draw out about 10% of the attack target’s strength, and it could not be stacked repeatedly. Ordinary people did not have much strength, so the 10% absorption could not increase Roy’s strength by much, but it was different when used on large creatures!
In the beginning, Roy’s imaginary target was actually dragons. He knew that with his demon body, the growth of his strength could not be unlimited. Moreover, no matter how much it increased, it was impossible for it to grow to the same level as the strength of dragons. Therefore, in the future, using Strength Absorption and complementing it with Bloodlust, he could balance the difference in his strength and that of dragons and slay them…
But now, he did not see a dragon, but he saw a Kraken with the same huge size and strength. Of course, Roy had to test…
Roy felt the muscles in his body swell under the effect of Strength Absorption. Although it was only 10%, the strength transmitted from the Kraken was already very shocking. It was clear what kind of terrifying strength it possessed.
The strength he absorbed could not be maintained forever. There was a time limit, so Roy did not dare to delay. After putting away Frostmourne, he immediately used Bloodlust on himself.
With two strength buffs, Roy felt as though he could punch through the earth with one punch…
He looked for an opportunity and suddenly closed his arms, hugging one of the Kraken’s tentacles!
After grabbing the tentacle, he flew up into the sky and began to pull upward with all his might!
With a thunderous noise, Roy gradually pulled out the Kraken that was hiding under the surface of the sea!
Even the Kraken was taken aback and stunned for a moment.
After the Kraken realized what was going on, it quickly paddled with the tentacles it still had under the water to use the power of the water current against Roy’s pull.
Water could bring buoyancy to Kraken, but it could also bring resistance to Roy. If Roy could not pull the Kraken out of the water now, it would be difficult to try to get it out again…
Roy could only give up regretfully when he realized that the Kraken below was getting stronger and stronger. He had wanted to see how big the Kraken was, but he did not expect that he would be unable to pull it out anymore after only pulling out half of it.
It’s a pity that the environment is limiting me. Otherwise, if I could bring it into the air, this guy wouldn’t be so threatening… Roy thought as he suddenly flashed and appeared dozens of meters away.
And the moment he flashed away, an extremely thin stream of water flew past his original position…
It was an extremely dangerous water pressure knife that Davy Jones spat out…
