The Ultimate Evolution

Chapter 589: Pathetically escaping

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

Sheyan’s mind was in turmoil after reading the last parchment page of the booklet.

His throat became dry and heavy, fuelling his desire to quench his thirst. Based on Sheyan’s current capabilities, it would be hard for ordinary matters to shake him.

Yet if the account detailed in the booklet wasn’t false, it was truly as indicated as the ‘Dead Sea Scroll’. An ultimate secret of the foundations of this world!

However, the uncovered ultimate foundation secret was exceedingly far-fetched, to the extent that it was simply unbelievable!!

The thoughts in his brain were revolving in high speeds. All of a sudden, he was jolted by a warning. The seawater before his eyes had abruptly been stirred. A chilling flash emerged from nowhere, as a broadsword drilled down mercilessly like a jabbing swordfish!

As it turns out, Sheyan had underestimated the Black Pearl pirates.

Weren’t the pirates of a legendary pirate ship not to be trifled with? While those pirates loosened up, their secondary objective was indeed to slack off. However, their primary objective was to baffle their foe.

After Sheyan had been greatly shaken by the monumental secret of Bernard Fokke’s sailing log, he subconsciously poked his head out of the water for some breaths. Though his breath was light, it appeared rushed when pieced together.

Although Sheyan had immediately shrunk his head back in, those pirates had instantly discovered an oddity.

Although Sheyan’s underwater concealment beneath the sand was top-notch, it definitely wasn’t flawless; especially if one decides to conduct a meticulous search after identifying a strong impression.

Hence, after those six pirates determined his location, they slowly encroached in an encirclement; finally inviting Sheyan into the boiling pot, after getting into their pocket formation.

Facing a sudden thrusting broadsword, Sheyan immediately reached forward and grabbed the blade!

Sheyan’s physique was outstanding, and further supported by his innate ability ‘Stronghold’. Moreover, he was also affected by the 50% damage reduction of the Aztec curse.

Therefore, even though Ragetti was an elite pirate of the Black Pearl, his blade was still tightly grabbed by Sheyan. Blood trickled down the cracks of his fingers and instantly dyed this portion of seawater red.

Nevertheless, the pirates were well prepared. After grabbing that single blade, yet another two blades came chopping down!

The difficulty of this world could be said to be comparatively low. Yet Sheyan was feeling exceedingly weary from enduring assaults and persisting till now. He was riddled with bruises and cuts.

Right now, one of his eyes was blinded and his right arm obliterated into dust; such was his severe state of handicap.

Though dark magic was prevalent in this world, finding someone who could treat a blind eye and a decapitated arm would still be exceedingly arduous. As such, Sheyan could only wait till he returned to the realm to treat them. Thus, he failed to treat his perpetual semi-blindness even until now.

Handicapped, Sheyan could only forcibly endure the two slashes!

The hard-fought battle with Little Lord Fokke had left him gravely wounded, and he only managed to recover a little since then. Right now, the six Black Pearl pirates were pouncing onto him like tigers and wolves.

Slaying them, they wouldn’t die. Chopping them, they wouldn’t leave. Their unity of will was like an impregnable stronghold. Even the monstrous demon horse Momore had been miserably trapped by them.

At present, Sheyan was similarly entangled where his most likely outcome, was to perish while nursing this grievance.

Nevertheless, Sheyan was a decisive individual and many thoughts flashed past his mind. He hastily fished out that single Aztec gold coin in his hand. Roaring loudly as he forcibly endured several slashes, he shoved away two pirates with his brute force.

In a flash, he flashed the Aztec gold coin towards them, before tossing it far into the distant sea. However, because his throwing arm was injured, a plop in the water surfaced 5-6 metres away.

This was a taboo object for the Black Pearl pirates. Instantaneously, two pirates instinctively rushed over to retrieve it. Thus, the pressure on Sheyan lowered from six pirates to four.

Feeling a lighter burden, Sheyan attempted to flee but was still hindered by the other four pirates; becoming unable to pull open a gap.

When those two pirates dove into the seawater to scramble for the Aztec gold, Sheyan once again unfolded his fingers and revealed that same Aztec gold in his hand once again!

As it turns out, what he hurled out earlier was just a rock the size of the Aztec gold coin. Due to its speedy hurling speed and that it wasn’t hurled very far away, this smokescreen managed to fool those two pirates.

This time, he once again summoned his strength and tossed the tangerine-sized Aztec gold towards the sea.

Sheyan’s strength was already manifold that of an average male. With his full might, the golden shimmering Aztec gold repeatedly spiraled under the moonlight. It was evident that couldn’t be a fake one. After soaring for nearly hundred metres, it landed into the seawater without even inciting a splash.

At present, the tides were receding. The pirates were aware of how troublesome it would be if the gold coin was dragged into the deep sea. Bear this in mind, these undying pirates could only sense the Aztec gold but didn’t have blazingly piercing eyes!

The translucent seawater would probably offer vision for 50-60 metres, before everything becomes pitch-black at deeper sea levels. Moreover, there weren’t any waterproof searchlight as of now, and one could only probe around with their hands. If there were underwater currents beneath, that would be truly an enjoyable sight of pirates being swept away……

The only method would be to employ dark magic to control sea creatures to search for them. However, that would require time and great efforts. Hence, even though the Black Pearl could sense the Aztec gold pieces, the ambitious and ruthless Barbossa still needed close to a decade to wrap up his search!

When Sheyan hurled out the Aztec gold, he was clearly taking advantage of the low numbers of these pursuing pirates.

The pirates couldn’t help but become frantic! The four pirates could naturally perceive the vital problems of that, and to prevent Barbossa from flaring up against them later, they threw themselves towards the sea in search of the gold coin; with fiery eyes that could only glare at the departing Sheyan.

Sheyan could only sigh after escaping from such dire straits.

This was because he had just touched the minimal 3 days deadline of his hidden main mission - Curse. Instead, acquiring the maximum reward would require him to hold it for at least a week.

Prior to this, Sheyan had contemplated with utter deliberation. Though he was inflicted by the Aztec curse which prevented him from obtaining utility and potential points from completing any mission, it didn’t mention that achievement points would be penalized. Moreover, he may even get to draw equipments in an event of perfect completion.

In spite of that, it was impossible to obtain both the fish and the bear paw.

When he got fatally entangled by six legendary ship pirates, the Sheyan who usually relied on his fleshy thickness to combat against his foes, had been utterly restrained by foes who were more unyielding than him.

If he had held onto the wish of a perfect mission, then he would’ve really died right then and there!

After escaping the pursuit of the Black Pearl pirates, Sheyan finally received the notifications from his nightmare imprint.

[ Hidden main mission: Curse completed ]

[ Mission summary: You have successfully held onto the Aztec Gold for 72 hours ]

[ Mission summary: You only accomplished the basic requirements of the mission ]

[ Mission completion evaluation: C- ]

[ Mission summary: You are inflicted with the Aztec curse. You are unable to receive utility points or potential points ]

[ You receive 4 achievement points as a reward. (1 point for main mission completion + 1 point for legend level + 2 points for completion of hidden mission) ]

[ You completed a hidden main mission, party experience is increased ]

Counting in the 4 achievement points from slaying Little Lord Fokke, he had acquired a total of 8 achievement points within this duration of time. At present, his achievement points had attained 104 points. He had finally broken through the 100 points barrier.

Following that, he continued tarrying at Tortuga port for a brief while. All he could observe were clouds of despair. The sounds of wailing filled every corner of the port. Little Lord Fokke’s epidemic disease was truly horrifying and had easily wiped out masses.

This propagating infectious disease was otherworldly and virulent, its killing potency was truly frightening. Approximately close to a thousand innocent pirates had been annihilated by it.

Observing all these, Sheyan could only sigh.

Without these people to exhaust Little Lord Fokke’s aura of death, everything would’ve pointed to disaster for himself. Seeing that he was nearing his departure from this world, he wondered how Mogensha and Reef were doing.

Nonetheless, Reef still had his personal trump card. His prowess would inevitably skyrocket once he awakened to become an official Growth-hunter. Besides, his ‘Shattering Cardiac Roar’ was a supreme ability for fleeing with its area of effect movement speed slow. They should be able to go through this daunting experience without mishaps.

****************************

As time trickled away, Sheyan finally received the notification to return to the realm.

Apart from his current crippled state, the constrictions of the curse in his body wasn’t a comfortable feeling as well. Right now, he couldn’t wait to return to the realm.

The place Sheyan chose to return was by the seashore.

At present, the tides were clearly receding. All of a sudden, a white line swept in from the distance. Roughly over ten seconds later, large waves of matchless turbulence smashed down and splashed to the skies.

Though such a scene was rare, it wasn’t a first and was known as backflow waves. Sailors were terrified of encountering such a deadly phenomenon! Only a handful of victims could return alive.

By the time the massive waves rolled back, the upright Sheyan by the seashore had vanished.

Instead, Sheyan was riding the waves like a stable transport.

Then, an invisible elevator escorted him into the abyss of the sea. Next, was a sky full of twinkling stars before a plain of pitch-darkness.
