Lord Shadow

As for the misty fog, it began to become thicker and spreading out even more across the area

The fog slowly covers the entire area around the sea.

It first moves slowly but then as some people began to realize the rate of which this fog is expanding is getting faster by the second

At first one could still see the figure in front of them but then as the fog grows thicker, they find it hard to even see a few feet in front of them.

Even large ship looks like only a dark silhouette even if the distance is not that far.

The fog not only spread through the area of the ships and the surrounding of the island it also become thicker, so thick one could feel the oxygen is sucked out by this fog

Even space felt like it is being pressured by this fog. Everyone could tell that this fog is not natural, but magic made.

Even Divine Sense is hard to operate in this kind of thick fog

The first one that notices this fog is none other than Golden Face. Others couldn't see even any silhouette but he could

It was like the fog did not exercise its magic toward Golden Face ship. He gulps.

Right now, the many ship around this area did not dare to make any moves.

Everyone seems to have known who is coming

It is Loki the Trickster.

Even though no one could be certain, with some people spreading the news using garbled Divine Sense communication, they all agreed it is Loki

And because it is Loki that is coming, thus Golden Face has some feeling of anxiousness.

'Loki the Trickster' he seems to be saying it to himself, reminding himself of this formidable figure in the world

The other people in the Red Table are cruel and brutal people

If anything Loki is not as brutal or as cruel. He does not command fear as much as the other people in the Red Table

At least, that is the perception

But, then why does people feel afraid of him?

Because his tricks are always lethal and always straight to the point of your weakness.

His way of destroying you is not always the most direct way but if he wanted to torture someone, he does not need a knife to cut your skin.

He would make it that you want to die but could not, wanted to be happy but could not, to live in a world where you have no hope but to still live

Only people who have been inflicted with this kind of torture could understand how cruel this method is even more than just killing them

He would make the people he wanted to torture to have all their heart desire, to forget about him and then when they thought that the happiness, that the thing that they held defer is theirs, it was then he would rear its ugly head toward you and make all of its become pillars of sand and salt.

But Golden Face knew this. And it is because of that he fears Loki very much. The silhouette in the distance become clear.

And everyone on the ship could see it

There is a large ship that is coming toward Golden Face ship.

The crew on the deck all have pale in the face.

The fog is not only pressuring them but also seems to brings a cold like no other.

The swaying of the waves of the sea makes everyone near the areas knows that this ship is approaching.

An indescribable energy began to fill the entire area.

The waves seem to be stormy and rushing wildly like there is a current of water spiraling around the area.

This made the Crime Alliance ship to sways.

The large ship stops just a few dozen feet from the ship that Golden Face is standing on.

Golden Face look at the ship swirling with white fog and greenish aura, making it look like a ghost ship that just came out from the depths of the ocean

A ship made of bones

Golden Face wears a golden mask and no one could see his face.

But if one could peek underneath that golden mask, his face is pale and there is fear reflected in his eyes.

The ship that is covered with fog and misty particles stopped in front of his ship. He tries to look if there is anyone on the deck or on the front of the ship. But there is no one.

The crew of his ship is looking at the ship of bones with terrified expression. Some of them gulped in fear.

Most of his crew are hardened criminals.

Even if they are not, the people who joins the Crime Alliance usually have seen their fair share of terrifying things in the world

They are not normal people would be squeamish seeing blood. But for some reason, seeing this ship made of bones brings chills to their hearts

Golden Face did not have such strong reaction.

But his heart also feels uneasy when he looks at the ship, his heart unconsciously beats harder and faster, like he is anxious.

He knows why his crew and himself felt like this. It is the aura that this ship emanates that creates this kind of feeling

The sound of the ship sailing through the sea water is the only noise that could be heard right now. It passes many ships, the waves of the sea hit the other ship, the ship sways gently.

Physically, it should not be able to sail the sea. There is skulls and bones from monster's bones to human's bones.

How did it float?

And the skulls that is on the bottom of the ship should be hollow and brittle and full of holes.

It should not have been able to withstand the pressure of sailing through the Turbulent Sea which is known for its space bending catastrophe.

But in a world of magic and mystical powers, was it so surprising to see a ship of bones floats in the water.

There are more unbelievable things in this world than a ship of bones sailing the sea.

Golden Face did not see anyone on the ship. He narrowed his eyes, trying to zoom in, trying to see anyone but saw nothing, saw no movement, saw no trace of people

the cold wind blew even harder; the waves keep hitting their ship.

This time, even he could feel the cold. This cold did not come from the breeze of the sea. It comes from this ship.

There is a certain aura around it that just gives one the chills. There is an aura of resentment, of bloodlust and killing intent that seems to just rolled out from this ship

Maybe that is just his feeling, but that is what Golden Face is feeling right now. As he look at the ship and thinking of what he should do, a voice seems to break through the fog and enter into his ear

His eyes underneath the mask narrowed

'Come in' That is the order that he heard.

Hearing this, Golden Face did not hesitate. He jumps up and fly toward the ship of bones, landing on the deck.

The moment he is on the ship; he feels that feeling that he felt before even more strongly. He could see black sails fluttering and the feeling of death and despair seems to assault him

This feeling of death and despair is in every part of this ship.

The planks of the floor of the ship is white.

Golden Face suspected that this plank is not wood at all but bones grinded into the shape of a plank.

But that is not the only things he saw.

He could also see the crew of this ship.

And the crew of this ship is very diligent in their works but Golden Face had no feeling to compliment them.

Instead there is only fear in his heart.

There is ghost flying around. Some of these ghost seems to materialize in and out from the walls and the bottom floor.

Some of them fly toward the fog and floats there, their figure could hardly be distinguished from the ever flowing fog that surrounded the ship.

Each of the ghost that came out have terrifying appearance.

Some of them have wounds and some of them have holes on their body. Some lose body parts.

There are also skeleton soldiers guarding the ship, looking at the distance. How they see is beyond Golden Face understanding.

After all, it is a skeleton.

There are only holes in the eye socket so how could these skeleton sees. Golden Face walk forward and his eyes focused on one of the skeleton and then he nodded

'I guess I was a bit mistaken' even though the eye socket has no eyes, there is a floating fire in what used to be their eye socket.

But even after seeing that and pretending to understand, Golden Face really did not understand how the skeletons could see

There are not only skeleton soldiers.

There are also skeletons that did miscellaneous work.

One of them is brushing and mopping the white planks of the ship.

Some are hanging out on the top of the sails and some are practicing sword skill

He also senses the resentment that is hidden underneath every part of this ship, a sense of grievance that he found hard to describe.

But he quickly shakes the thought out of his head

He did not come to this ship to think about how skeletons soldiers could see.

'What do you think?' a voice echoes beside his ears, like the wind that blows gently. He looks around and see no one.

But he knows it is Loki. He does not know whether to answer or not when he heard the sound of a door creaking. It was the captain cabin on the top deck.

Someone comes out from the captain cabin, wearing a bowler hat, an impeccable elegant three-piece suit and a cane that taps the ground each time he takes a step.

Loki the Trickster.

Even though it is said that Loki has a thousand faces, most of the time when he appears in front of the people of the Crime Alliance, he would wear this face and uses this deep cold voice.

Green aura seems to swirls around his feet, a smile on his face, a certain playfulness in his gaze.

'Your Excellency' Loki waves his hand

'Dispense with the formality. We are not inside the Red Room.'

Loki came down from the top deck and not before long he appears in front of Golden Face. Golden Face look down, as he did not dare to look at Loki eyes.

There is a certain amount of pressure around him. he doubts that Loki is doing this consciously. It is more like this is simply the unconscious emanation of power from Loki

'How's…...work?' he simply asks. Even though Golden Face did not see Loki face, he believes Loki is smirking.

He gulped in fear before he simply narrated his plans.
