Chapter 74: Dragon Head Grand Harbor

The sunlight was warm and bright.

At the bow of the ship, Gune stood steadily on the prow.

He sipped coffee while gazing at the distant Dragon Head Grand Harbor.

In view, the Dragon Head Grand Harbor was lined with numerous merchant ships docked at the port.

On the sea, three hundred-meter-long steel steam giants cruised.

The number of merchant ships coming and going on the sea was also considerable.

This made the entire Dragon Head Grand Harbor appear exceptionally bustling and lively.

Dragon Head Grand Harbor was the greatest sanctuary and resource replenishment station for many merchant ships entering deep-sea regions, and it was guarded by numerous Transcendent Masters.

Naturally, a great many merchant ships came here.

After staring for a long time, Gune slowly withdrew his gaze.

At this moment, Gune's realm had dropped from the late fourth-order Transcendent, which he had attained a few days ago after receiving the energy of the reef altar, to the mid fourth-order Transcendent.

At the same time, the strange power that had permeated Gune's body due to the reef altar sacrifice had also disappeared.

This was naturally because Gune had undergone a reincarnation.

Recalling in his mind the construction of the secondary soul a few days ago, along with the one or two gambles with the Fate Coin, a smile curled at the corner of Gune's mouth.

When Gune used the original soul of the fifth-order lord demon to construct his secondary soul,

Gune clearly felt that after the fifth-order demon lord's soul formed the secondary soul, it slightly absorbed his own energy.

This demon lord wanted to use Gune's body to resurrect.

But Gune did not give it the chance.

He took out the Fate Coin and, in its most primitive form, began to gamble with fate.

And the Fate Coin did not disappoint Gune.

The first toss was the Angel.

And as the Angel's sword of fate fell,

All the fetters of fate on Gune's body were completely severed.

After the fetters of fate were severed, if he gambled again and got the Angel, what would be the result?

With this doubt, Gune tossed the Fate Coin.

And this time, it brought the Demon and Death.

It seemed that the situation after the fetters of fate were severed could only be tested later when there was time.

After consuming one reincarnation count,

After Gune reincarnated and revived, the system did not let Gune die.

The demon's original soul, the most primal will of the demon, was completely obliterated.

What remained was only the purest demon soul power.

And Gune naturally took it for himself.

Now, Gune already possessed his own powerful "secondary soul" at the level of a fifth-order "Demon Lord."

Although this "secondary soul" did not have the many means and abilities of a demon lord, being merely a pure fifth-order demon lord's soul,

It was still a terrifying thing.

With the demon secondary soul, Gune

First, gained the ability of "dual casting."

Previously, it was 30 incantations per second; now it could be considered doubled, that is, 60 incantations per second.

This increase in quantity alone was enough to explosively enhance Gune's attack power.

At the same time, whether it was the endurance against soul attacks or the endurance against incantations during casting,

Gune would let the secondary soul bear it first.

After all, it was the soul of a fifth-order lord, and a demon-type soul at that.

Its endurance was naturally much stronger than Gune's main soul, and even if injured, it could recover easily.

Gune's main soul did not have such means and abilities.

In short, all the dirty and tiring work was for the secondary soul, while all the benefits were for the main soul.

And this was the inevitability brought by the "Heavy Incantation Rune."

"Captain!"

Just as Gune was pondering, the voice of Jason Howl sounded behind him.

"All personnel are gathered."

"Mm!" Gune nodded.

When he reached the railing behind the captain's cabin, on the deck below, more than thirty crew members were all assembled there.

At this moment, all the crew looked at Gune.

After a moment of deliberation, Gune slowly spoke.

"Dragon Head Grand Harbor has arrived."

"But... your captain 'Captain Jack's' name seems to have become known to many on the sea."

"And many want to kill me."

"So... if you don't want some powerful high-order Transcendent to catch you, interrogate your souls, and then kill you, it's best to act alone after you reach the harbor."

"Also, do not reveal any information about our Demon Ship or Captain Jack."

"I hope everyone lands safely at Dragon Head Grand Harbor this time, but just in case, everyone needs to be careful."

"When it's time to set sail, I will use the contract scroll to notify you again."

"Alright, go back to work!" Gune waved for everyone to disperse.

At this moment, the crew members no longer had their usual clamor; they were somewhat subdued and cautious.

They all carried a great deal of wealth, so they naturally understood the consequences if someone leaked information and they were caught.

Silently working, they were already pondering their respective actions after disembarking.

These fellows were at least second-order, not inexperienced novices.

Finding a place to stay was not a big problem.

...

Two hours later.

At the harbor entrance dock.

The crew members had already disappeared into the depths of the crowd at the dock.

After putting away the sealed Demon Ship and confirming that no one was following or observing him nearby, Gune finally walked toward the street at the end of the Dragon Head Grand Harbor dock.

However, the news that the Demon Whale had entered Dragon Head Grand Harbor could not be concealed after all.

After all, such a large Demon Ship could not escape the observation of some attentive people.

Half an hour later.

The news that the super caster "Captain Jack" had landed at Dragon Head Grand Harbor spread like wildfire.

Soon, many who paid attention to information related to the super caster received the relevant news.

Among the transmitted information were also details about the feathered serpent Edward, the Misty Phantom Islands, the Great Elder, the altar, the Angel, the Demon, and vast wealth.

Although Gune had been on guard,

The murderous intent toward Gune was quite resolute, and the forces behind it were very large.

When they learned that Captain Jack had landed at "Dragon Head Grand Harbor," a turbulent storm had already begun to stir quietly.

And "Captain Jack," at the center of the storm, seemed unaware of all this.

...

Night gradually fell.

Dragon Head Grand Harbor.

The "Bolaiden" Grand Hotel was the most luxurious hotel in Dragon Head Grand Harbor.

Here, normal consumption cost over a dozen gold pounds a day.

And if one was a bit extravagant, it started at several dozen gold pounds.

Inside a spacious and comfortable room,

Gune was enjoying a large table of fine food while taking in the night view of the entire Dragon Head Grand Harbor.

The quiet, brightly lit bay and the tranquil sea indeed had a unique charm.

On one hand, after sailing at sea for about two months,

Eating fish every few days had long made Gune feel sick of it.

Having finally come ashore, he naturally needed to change his palate and enjoy some good food.

On the other hand,

Gune found that he was being watched.

In fact, after entering Dragon Head Grand Harbor, Gune had been very careful.

But when he was selling and buying some things on the commercial street, just after leaving the third merchant guild,

Gune realized he was being watched.

The one tailing Gune was very cautious.

However, when that faint, almost imperceptible gaze fell on Gune,

Gune, who had completely severed the chains of fate, clearly felt that slight sense of peeping.

Gune did not know which faction the enemy who had targeted him belonged to.

After all, Captain Jack had no shortage of enemies.

Whether it was Old Edward, whose son was shot by Gune, leading to his defeat,

Or Augushan, whom Gune had severely tricked,

Or some unscrupulous bounty hunters sniffing out the scent of millions of gold pounds.

There were many who wanted to kill him; Gune was well aware of that.

Moreover, as time passed, Gune found that more and more people were targeting him.

Clearly, more than one group had set their sights on him.

At this point, Gune also guessed that someone was secretly working against him.

If Gune wished, he could hide and disappear again.

Of course, Gune could also choose to launch a bloody counterattack and revenge.

Let those enemies plotting against him in the shadows experience what death and terror meant.

After all, Gune's strength was no longer weak.

By giving the enemy a powerful counterattack and making them feel pain, they would not extend their claws toward Gune again.

As for how to decide,

That depended on whether those enemies would leave traces for Gune to follow and uncover something.

Those people wanted to kill Gune, and Gune also wanted to kill them.

After all...

After the system's reincarnation, Gune's main soul and secondary soul were now of the same origin.

The demon secondary soul, by devouring the souls of enemies, would gradually grow stronger.

At the same time, it would nourish the main soul, accelerating its growth.

For Gune now, killing and fighting would accelerate his own growth.

Therefore, Gune naturally would not refuse to nourish himself with the souls and flesh of his enemies.

Moreover, Gune's stored blood was running low.

As for the followers of those evil gods, the makers of terror and death, Gune had long wanted to give them a good beating.
