I Have a Sailing Game

"The Kizi Divine Assembly will dispel all illusions and protect us!"

Yet he still fought back the dread in his heart and picked up the Mark to chant prayers.

But what happened next made his heart freeze with terror.

"I can feel your fear..."

"Welcome the darkest Abyss..."

With a calm expression, Rogel used Heisatan’s hoarse and magical voice to announce this within the encircled Church convoy.

"What is that sound!!"

"Help!"

"Ahhhh..."

Splash!

The pitch-black tide had somehow boarded the Church’s ships.

On the deck, walls, even the masts, it formed one dark realm after another.

But between them, there was a common thread.

It was the presence of the Believers!

Splash!

Countless black tentacles like sinister demons reaching from Hell grabbed the limbs of the Believers.

Amid their screams of utter despair, those black tentacles seemed to toy with them, savoring their fear, slowly moving them into the black tide...

Some Believer Apostles broke free, cutting off tentacles, even chanting prayers, but all to no avail.

There were also the ruthless ones who chopped off their captured calves, blood gushing, howling in pain.

However, a dramatic scene unfolded.

After he sliced off his calf, the black tentacle reached again, clinging tightly to his thigh.

Seeing this, that Believer fell into complete despair.

He could only lie on the ground, gritting through the pain, clawing firmly onto the deck, scratching out screeching sounds during the dragging...

All of this fell into the eyes of the High Tier Monks.

This brought the suppressed fear back up again.

Escape!

Escape!

Fear ultimately broke down his psychological defenses, disregarding loyalty to god, he hurriedly chanted transfer prayers, desperately trying to flee.

But just before this, a snake-like cold sensation slowly coiled around his leg.

"No!"

"Don’t!"

The High Tier Monk struggled desperately, chanting prayers swiftly, trying any attack, every means to sever this tentacle.

But Heisatan’s [Dragged into the Abyss] could not be easily shaken off.

Unless you hadn’t reached the fear threshold, once caught, there’s no escape!

"No!!!"

Along with the desperate screams, the High Tier Monk was dragged into the black tide, becoming invisible.

...

"This... this is..."

"Captain! We’ve returned! We made it back to the shipyard!"

"Oh my god! We were escorted back by those Monsters!"

"They seem to target only the Church people!"

"Yes! It has no ill intent towards us! Thank heavens!"

"Is that the Black Bone Sea Monster!"

"Probably not, the Black Bone Sea Monster shouldn’t be this formidable."

"..."

Returning to Magrela Island, people were abuzz with conversation, relieved for surviving a disaster while filled with awe and curiosity towards Heisatan.

"It came with the Black Tide and fear, yet targeted only the troublemakers, bringing dread like the legendary Kesatan but not calamity upon the innocent..."

An elderly man now closed his eyes, placed his hand on his heart, and murmured.

Hearing his words, the others fell silent as well.

Looking at the distant overwhelming Black Tide and its obscure shadows, their reverence intensified.

Simultaneously, they couldn’t help but feel curious.

This presence, what purpose does it have to assist them?

Why attack only the Church?

Could it be, as the old man said, it targets only the troublemakers?

...

"The trouble’s resolved."

Rogel slowly opened his eyes.

Under his control, Heisatan had cleared the obstruction of the Church convoy and escorted the nearly sinking merchant ship back to the shipyard.

This way, the materials to modify Gelin are secure.

As for whether the Church holds a grudge against him...

Come on, it was Heisatan who eliminated the convoy, what’s it got to do with Rogel?

Debts have owners, if you’re brave enough, go find Heisatan!

"Finally, all is well. Shall we head to the shipyard now?"

Noemi exclaimed excitedly.

The rest of the group also breathed a sigh of relief.

They naturally believed Rogel’s words, and since he said the problem was solved, it was certainly done.

"No rush, let’s wait a while before we go. Let’s just wait and see."

Hearing Rogel’s words, the group nodded and didn’t hurry.

At this moment, there was a sound downstairs.

Clack clack clack!

"Hurry up! Quickly!"

Knights of Faith and Believers, led by High Tier Monks, were in a rush, seeming very anxious.

Rogel and the others watched coldly.

Rogel naturally knew the reason for their actions.

It was nothing more than the fact that the warships of the Kizi Church and the Natural Church were destroyed by Heisatan.

However, they were destined to find no reason.

After all, at sea, that was Heisatan’s domain.

Would these churches dare to send warships to specifically search for Heisatan?

Although Rogel and the group attracted the attention of some people from the Church, they did not pay much notice.

After all, they now had more important things to do.

At this moment, Rogel suddenly seemed a bit surprised, closed the window, and returned to his position.

"This is..."

...

[Your Clone, Heisatan, has obtained a piece of pure Faith Power. Do you want to use it for self-transformation?]

[Yes/No]

[Your Clone, Heisatan, has obtained four pieces of mixed Faith Power. Do you want to use it for self-transformation?]

[Yes/No]

Faith Power?

Where did this thing come from?

Rogel was a bit confused; he hadn’t intentionally spread any Faith.

But he quickly realized.

"Could it be because I let Heisatan escort those merchant ships back?"

"They believe that Heisatan saved them?"

Rogel touched his chin, thinking that was the most likely reason.

After he understood, Rogel frowned and pondered.

Honestly, he initially hadn’t planned on letting Heisatan follow the path of Faith.

After all, if Heisatan advanced faster following the Faith route, it could likely lead to a reversal in roles; this was a Mysterious World, so caution was warranted.

Another point is that he didn’t know how the Spirit of Faith should take the first step and get through the initial stages.

But now...

From the game’s hints, it seemed to have an orientation for development in this area!

This made Rogel’s eyes light up.

Perhaps he could try it out first.

Let’s see what kind of follow-up the game provides.

If it doesn’t work... at worst, he’ll just backtrack to this node and start over.

With this thought, Rogel made up his mind.

After saving, he chose "Yes."

[Heisatan begins to transform into a Spirit of Faith...]

[Current progress: 1%.]

[Obtaining Faith Power or injecting Faith Power or even Special Artifacts can accelerate this process.]

Faith Power and Special Artifacts?

Could my own Faith work?

A bold idea suddenly popped into his mind.

After pondering for a moment, Rogel decided to give it a try.

Anyway, he saved the game, so there’s nothing to fear, why not give it a go!

Some time later...

As it turned out, this was useless.

Rogel could actively inject his own Faith Power into Heisatan.

But this was just power, not the Faith Power generated by Rogel himself devoutly believing in Heisatan.

Therefore, Rogel couldn’t provide Faith Power like other believers; he could only offer power.

Although he and Heisatan appeared to be two different entities, they were essentially one and the same, indistinguishable.

"In that case, let’s use this Seed of Faith as well."

Rogel took out the Seed of Faith from the Item Inventory, preparing to use it on Heisatan.

Since Heisatan was going down the path of Faith, his main body couldn’t follow this path.

On one hand, it was because Noemi Muzhe had previously said that Spirits of Faith were inherently opposed to each other, unless a subordinate relationship was established.

With this thought, Rogel left the room, sneaked away, placed the Seed of Faith in the hand of a tentacle on the water’s surface before handing it over to Heisatan.

Heisatan’s transformation was unlike metamorphosis; his actions weren’t affected.

[Heisatan used the Seed of Faith.]

[Current transformation progress: 76%.]
