Adrian was getting ready to fire his arrows to whichever direction the harpoon will come from. Kanlaon was also ready to launch his breath attack to that direction. Adrian was getting goosebumps because it felt like he was getting stalked by a predator. It felt as if he was a small fish from the sea and a shark is waiting to pounce at him.

[You have been affected by Bluthafen mist.]

[Visibility will be affected due to the effects of the Bluthafen mist.]

[You can only see things in a ten meter radius.]

Adrian was startled because of the sudden notification popping up. Adrian tried to use his Evil Eyes but even that could not pierce the mist. It seemed the mist was really a field effect that will not be cleansed no matter what.

Before Adrian could adjust to the sudden changes, the same harpoon was once again aimed directly towards him. Adrian reflexively fired an arrow but he did not aim properly so it just flew somewhere. The good thing though was that he did damage.

[You have dealt 3,475 damage to an Undead Sailor.]

It was Sirius this time to block the harpoon by ramming its body to the harpoon's shaft. Kanlaon launched its breath to the direction but it only damaged undead that are considered normal. Kanlaon dealt damage over time using his breath attack.

[Kanlaon has dealt 8,347 damage to an Undead Drowned Lady.]

[Kanlaon has dealt 7,548 damage to an Undead Drowned Lady.]

[Kanlaon has dealt 8,107 damage to an Undead Sailor.]

.

It seems whichever undead hurled the harpoon would be very far away for Kanlaon's breath to hit or it can command the lesser undead to become cannon fodder. The chain on the harpoon was tugged once again and it was dragged once again by whoever hurled it.

Adrian wanted to go to the direction of the harpoon but he does not want to be in a dangerous position of being cornered. Nevertheless, Adrian did not give up and fired a skill in the direction where the harpoon was being dragged.

"Shooting Star" Adrian muttered as he poured half his soul essence to empower the skill.

The shining arrow was fired and it parted the mist but only for a few seconds as the mist rolled back. Adrian heard lots of notifications due to the arrow colliding with lots of undead. The last to be hit was the most important one of all though.

[You have dealt 37,548 damage to an Undead Drowned Lady.]

[You have dealt 28,107 damage to an Undead Sailor.]

.

[You have dealt 15,753 damage to the Captain Baha of the Undead Crew Navis.]

When Adrian looked at the last line, the name Captain Baha of the Undead Crew Navis is gold in color. Adrian was sure this was the undead allured by the crown fragment that he has. This particular undead was even targeting him instead of others.

"It is definitely attracted to the crown fragment. I might actually drop it if it kills me." Adrian thought.

A piercing cry that sounded like a strangled bird was then heard. Yellow dots suddenly appeared throughout the mist. Adrian suddenly got a bad premonition as he felt that the yellow dots were looking at him.

A few moments later, undead that rose from the sea started running towards Adrian. Numerous groaning and clacking sounds could be heard coming near them.

"Everyone to their battle stations. We are going to be overrun by undead." Adrian told his soulbounds via their soul link.

Twenty undead was suddenly seen by Adrian and he immediately told Kanlaon to use his breath attack. Due to the Undead in close proximity to each other, they also suffered extra damage to the miniature explosions that resulted from intense heat and cold interacting with one another.

It did not take long for other undead to appear in their field of vision. Adrian noticed that they were surrounded so he told Sirius to attack those who charge towards them. A whistling sound was once again heard by Adrian.

Adrian immediately activated Chrono Shift to himself and it made him move so much faster. HE managed to react on time but the bladed part of the harpoon manage to graze him.

[You have been dealt 176 damage.]

Adrian was astounded because a graze was already in the hundreds in terms of damage. No wonder that the people who encountered this undead are assassinated. If you are a job class with low health then you might definitely be executed.

Adrian tried stepping on the harpoon so that the undead Captain Baha would not be able to collect it but it was unsuccessful. A stronger pulling force was felt by Adrian's foot and he could no longer step on it. He even lost balance but he unfurled his wings and managed to prevent himself from falling down.

"It is stronger than me!" Adrian thought.

Adrian then fired piercing arrows towards the undead charging at them. Adrian needed to cull their numbers so that they could have more breathing time. Adrian timed the harpoon was recalled and when it was shot so he could have a grasp on when to dodge.

The harpoon was approximately recalled for one minute because he could not hear chains being pulled after that time frame. It then takes about two minutes before the harpoon is fired again. Although Adrian was not absolutely certain, he could only do trial and error at this point.

Adrian finished off the undead that both Kanlaon and Sirius damaged while Saena heals them immediately after being damaged. Due to her heal now transformed to an area heal, everyone in the vicinity get healed even if only one of them is damaged.

The yellow dots that could be seen piercing the mist looked like it was not diminishing but even increasing.

"Okay. It should be time for the harpoon to target me once again." Adrian thought.

True to his guess, a whistling sound was once again heard. The whistling sound came from behind Adrian so he had no choice but to roll to the side. The harpoon even hit an undead sailor instead of Adrian.

Adrian's heart was beating like crazy because it seemed that Captain Baha came closer to their general location. The harpoon usually will hit Adrian exactly using the bladed edged but this time it was longer than before. This could only mean that Captain Baha moved closer to Adrian's location or the chain became longer.

Adrian looked at the twenty meter mark where the chain fades into the mist. He smiled and activated the last skill of the Bow Psyche Armament immediately before the chain gets pulled. Adrian rose to the sky but he could still not see the bodies of the undead.

What Adrian could see though was the lights that come from the eye sockets of the undead. There was in fact a different colored light than the yellow light and it was a red light. The red light was about more or less fifty meters away from Adrian's location.

Adrian fired the three shooting stars produced by the third skill of the Psyche Armament which is Orion's Wrath. Adrian's two shooting stars hit but the last one was avoided because the red dots suddenly disappeared from its location.

[You have dealt 17,124 damage to the Captain Baha of the Undead Crew Navis.]

[You have dealt 19,159 damage to the Captain Baha of the Undead Crew Navis.]

The Psyche Armament disappeared and his demi-gauntlets is once again equipped in his two hands. When Adrian landed on the ground, the harpoon also disappeared but the looming threat of being overrun by undead was still there.

"Everyone protect me." Adrian commanded via their soul link.

Adrian then cast Vortex. A small black sun which is the size of a marble appeared on Adrian's hand. Adrian released it and it floated up to twenty meters in the air. With a snap of Adrian's fingers, a cracking sound was heard and the marble size black sun exploded.

The explosion produced a giant black hole that sucked all the undead close to its vicinity.

"Quantum Cascade" Adrian said as he used himself as an epicenter.

A few seconds later, more undead have been pulled to the black hole. Amidst the chaos, a whistling sound was not heard by Adrian but by Sirius. Due to the immense sound produced by the black hole, Adrian did not hear the whistling sound.

Sirius pushed Adrian to the side but he was pierced in his right leg as a result. Sirius let out a pained sound and Adrian noticed it. Before Adrian could pull out the harpoon, Sirius was being dragged towards the location of Captain Baha. Adrian panicked a little as he enlarged his demi-gauntlets and pulled the chain on the harpoon.

Adrian did not want Sirius to get dragged and get ganged up on.

"Kanlaon, help me pull. Saena continue healing Sirius. He is bleeding." Adrian immediately ordered as he initiated tug of war with Captain Baha.
