Chapter 131 Caribbean (4)
Pirate King Carlos.
Confined to a prison deep underground many years ago, he became a living corpse who could not die. However, even in such desperate moments, he does not lose his will to live and burns with a vengeance every day. Tan, who was watching Carlos’ madness in the shadows, sent him a look full of sympathy and murmured.
“like….? Are you more useful than you think?”
Carlos is very weak, but he can feel the absolute authority emanating from his body. Jaeyoung also watched him in his shadow and began to carefully grasp the situation around him.
‘There are only four people in the 200 level who stand guard… The defense is more thorough than I thought.’
The guards guarding the pirate king, Carlos. Confirming that each one was a strong player in the 200 level, Jaeyoung could feel again how atrocious the difficulty of this quest originally was.
‘Is it right that I made this to break? Originally, what the hell was the quest planned for?’
Rescue Carlos, who had no clue and only the information that he was imprisoned somewhere underground. Even Jae-young, who can freely move around the Caribbean without leaving any traces through the shadows, had to spend a long time just looking for this place.
“They said it was dark under the lamp… What else is Carlos hiding in the basement of their headquarters? I just wasted my time.”
The place of exile of Carlos, which was chosen as the most unlikely place. Because of that, Jae-young, who had been searching all over the Caribbean for a long time, regretted his choice with a sigh when he finally found him.
“Master, what are you going to do now?”
Carlos is talking to himself, swearing revenge, and making comments full of second graders. Looking at him with sparkling eyes, Tan asked.
“What the heck?”
At those words, Jaeyoung’s two red eyes shine in the shadows. He smiled strangely and muttered in a whisper.
“I have to cook it well, make it my side, and eat it deliciously.”
* * *
A dungeon completely cut off from the outside world that no one can enter.
Carlos, who had never seen anyone else except for the guard who came into the room for a short time to periodically put rice in and clean up the bins containing all sorts of excrement, was shocked to see a being that suddenly appeared in the shadows.
“Who are you?”
Carlos, who reigned as the strongest in the Caribbean. But the smell emanating from the man standing in front of him was so full of danger that even his heart fluttered.
[The player’s bad karma has exceeded the required level.]
[The dignity of the passive skill absolute has been neutralized.] [The pride
of the passive skill criminal has collapsed.]
[The passive skill contempt for the weak is disabled.]
Originally, the bad karma worse than oneself Carlos’s passive skills that would have made him despise and ignore those who had . However, Jae-young, who has already made tens of thousands… no, maybe tens of millions of people bleed,’s enormous evil karma that he cannot dare to measure has completely neutralized all the restrictions he had.
[The fallen pirate king Carlos recognizes the player.]
[Fulfill the conditions required to create the scenario. A new fork has been reached.]
[The mission has been renewed.]
The message that the mission has been renewed came up, but Jaeyoung didn’t pay any attention to it and continued to stare at Carlos without taking his eyes off him.
“Didn’t I just tell you that it’s your own little devil who will grant your wishes?”
Jaeyoung answers with an evil smile. At his words, Carlos tried hard not to express himself, but it was clear that he was agitated.
“The devil… you say…?”
Carlos, who has lived a life full of blood on his hands as a criminal. However, he had never faced the devil face-to-face in his entire life, and had never seen a devil, but the conviction that if the devil really existed, it would be the same as the one in front of him, came from deep within his heart.
[Passive skill Endless Fear of Death is activated.]
[Passive skill Madness in the Shadows is activated.]
Shadow Assassin Leader Shadow’s skill that is continuously activated. Perhaps because of its influence, Carlos let out a groan inwardly, feeling the sticky fear of death as if his soul would be robbed even now.
‘I can’t believe it….. The existence of a demon… was like this…
‘ incarnation of evil. Carlos asked in a trembling voice, convinced that the being in front of him was just such a demon of the highest rank.
“Can you really grant my wish?”
His words that he would free himself from this place and allow him to exact his bloody vengeance against the traitors who had kept him in the pits underground for many years. At that question, the being in front of me smiled and said.
“of course. A wish like that is nothing to me?”
An existence that speaks as if it is a very simple thing. Hearing that it was possible, Carlos hesitated for a moment, thought about something, and then asked with a firm face as if he had made a decision.
“What is the price? my soul?”
Carlos asks if he should sacrifice his soul. At his question, Tan muttered as he licked his lips with his eyes wide open.
“Oh, is that okay? Master, can’t you give me that guy’s soul?”
A bullet with the momentum to take revenge and send Carlos’s soul to the demon realm. However, Jaeyoung glared at him without saying anything at Tan’s question, and then opened his mouth.
“…I read too many books. I don’t even need your soul.”
“…?”
Carlos, who knew that taking souls in exchange was the rule of the devils. However, with bright red eyes shining in front of his eyes, he wanted something completely different from Carlos.
“I only want two things. You become the ruler of the Caribbean and exercise the same absolute influence as before. And the other one is…..”
Carlos gulps nervously as he watches Jaeyoung pull the horse. Jaeyoung told him what he really wanted.
“It is to do everything in my power to help me go beyond the ‘endless sea’ and move toward a new continent.”
“What did Bar just say?”
new continent.
At those words, Carlos’ face was stained with astonishment. And then he raised his voice as if it were nonsense.
“What do you mean by a new continent? this is the end of the world Nothing exists in the endless sea. There are only grotesque and terrifying monsters and death roaming the depths.”
A story in a myth that no one remembers. For Carlos, who did not know the existence of a huge continent that had been scattered due to the endless death of the World Tree, what this devil wanted was a story that made no sense at all.
But the devil looked at him with eyes more confident than ever.
“No, a new continent exists. You and others just never got there.”
“…..”
Carlos’s eyes trembled as if he couldn’t believe it at all. He couldn’t speak for a long time, and he finally escaped the shock and opened his mouth.
“Come to think of it… I remember a story my grandmother told me when I was very young.”
“story?”
“I don’t remember exactly because I was too young… but I know it’s the story of a man who found something in the endless sea and came back alive.”
At that moment, Jaeyoung smiled deeply at Carlos’ words as if he had finally found him.
‘As expected… I guess this is the right place.’
A clue that I finally pulled out while searching for demons in the demon realm.
[I don’t know. Even the devil didn’t seem to understand that he had heard the story when he was summoned a couple of decades ago. Go check it out for yourself.]
The story of a person who sailed beyond the endless sea in the past and survived without dying. Although he didn’t know exactly, Jaeyoung could realize that he had caught the clue of a huge quest hidden here in the Caribbean.
Therefore, Jaeyoung exerted pressure on Carlos by spitting out all his murderous intentions to maintain the atmosphere he had captured.
Whoops.
“Keueueueueu …..”
The legendary pirate king who was not afraid of death. As if he couldn’t stand it, Jaeyoung said as his whole body trembled and moaned.
“I’ll give you another chance. A chance to become the ruler of the Caribbean, full of thrilling romance and exciting adventures, albeit rugged and dangerous, and fly the seas again, waving the black flag of pirates.”
“…..”
For Carlos, the past has become a beautiful memory that cannot be enjoyed again. However, Carlos couldn’t bear to say anything at his offer to return it to the present reality.
“Instead, from the day you become the owner of this Caribbean again, investigate the source and related records of the old story you just remembered, and ask everyone who lives in this city one by one to find it. All information and clues on how to sail across the endless sea to new continents.”
Thousands… tens of thousands of NPCs live in the gutter, but it’s a gigantic city of Caribbean. Jaeyoung decided to use Carlos, knowing that it would be an absurdly massive task to go around the hundreds and thousands of small islands and archipelagos scattered here and there across the coast and collect clues to related quests by himself.
‘It’s going to take an incredibly long time to raise your sailing skills to the point where you’re going to find a new continent anyway…’ Even if you don’t know it, Jae-young
alone navigates a huge ship and travels far away in the hardcore arcadia that values realism. Since it was absurd to set out to find a new continent, the Pirate King Carlos was an indispensable and important figure for him.
“Keukkeukuk…..”
Carlos kept his head down without saying anything for a long time.
But suddenly he burst into laughter and began to laugh like a madman.
“Ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!”
“Hey, have you gone crazy? Why are you laughing all of a sudden?”
“Aren’t you quiet? Shut up before you sew up your snout.”
When the guards suddenly start to laugh, the guards look into the cell with grim eyes and issue a bloody warning. However, not recognizing Jae-young, who had permeated into the shadows, they left, complaining that Carlos was crazy.
“Is my suggestion funny…? I’m really serious.”
“You… no you. You are not a demon.”
Not a request for a soul, but a stupid request to help find a new continent. It was so strange for a high-ranking devil who seemed to come out of legends to offer what he wanted, so Carlos had a hunch that the devil whispering a sweet proposal in front of his eyes was a human like himself.
“Well… Let’s just say that I have a very close relationship with the devil.”
I didn’t understand exactly what that meant, but it didn’t matter. Because his suggestion made the long-dormant heart beat again in Carlos’ chest.
“It’s a new continent… that’s interesting. It’s so much fun.”
Carlos, who had never imagined that another world would exist beyond here in the Caribbean. He felt as if he had finally opened his eyes at Jaeyoung’s words.
“Will there be pirates like us on that new continent?”
“Well… I don’t know about that because I haven’t been there either… but maybe so?”
At that, Carlos said with a strange smile.
“That means… that the world is still full of people who will kneel before me and swear an oath of obedience.”
The eyes of Carlos who said that were filled with a fighting spirit, a fighting spirit, and a desire to dominate and conquer. And he looked at Jaeyoung and said in a voice full of passion.
“I will accept your proposal, you nameless human who is more devilish than the devil.”
Even knowing that he had picked up the dangerous and deadly poisoned chalice, Carlos said to the unidentified man who was looking at him with his red eyes shining.
“Please help me reign as the ruler of this Caribbean again.”
