In fact, The Slaughterer, Kircheis, was not on Oravi Island. The one who appeared at the 'Sweet Lemon' bar was Lex, impersonating him using the Thousand-Faced Traveler, precisely to 'lure' out the pirate Churchill, just as he did now.
Lex was somewhat surprised that Churchill had actually heard about his exploits on Yedgar Island.
"This matter has already spread across the Sea. The Storm Church announced that an evil ritual was attempted on Yedgar Island, and currently, that Sea Island is under the Church's control."
"Those Adventurers who were almost used as sacrifices all claimed that you delved into the dungeon and rescued them. However, after that, you disappeared, and many believed you had been hunted by the Blood Admiral. I never expected you to appear again now."
Lex touched his nose, thinking, *Am I famous now?*
He then smiled and said, "Mr. Churchill, I heard you know the secret of the Fountain of Youth. The Fountain of Youth happens to be one of the legends we are pursuing. I hope to obtain information from you. I hope you can cooperate with us. What do you think?"
Churchill looked around and said in a deep voice, "Your reputation is good, and I am happy to establish a connection with someone like you. But with all due respect, you are not yet qualified to meddle with the legend of the Fountain of Youth, unless you want to face the King of Immortality, Agalito."
Lex chuckled, "I know what you're worried about. I also heard that you escaped from the King of Immortality's fleet. When I decided to look for you, I was already very clear about what I would face."
Lex's purpose in saying this was to imply to Churchill that he possessed the strength or background to contend with the King of Immortality.
Just then, Lex felt a clear malice directed at him. He even saw a figure in his mind's eye, positioned high above, pressing his hands together. In the center of his palms, a water ball continuously contracted in layers until it reached its limit, then burst forth, forming a high-pressure water cannon!
The water cannon was aimed directly at him, who was in the alley!
Lex immediately pushed O'Neal, his adjutant, who was beside him, and leaped in the opposite direction. He then saw a high-pressure water cannon, compressed in layers, smash through the wall and land where he had just been, easily piercing the ground and creating a bottomless hole.
What kind of ability is this?
Without time to think, Lex decisively shouted, "Nafi, you all take Mr. Churchill first, Bal and I will cover the rear!"
He then whispered, "Ms. Kardashian, please look after them, don't let Churchill slip away."
The clothes on Lex's back 'writhed' for a moment, and then a black viscous liquid quickly detached from Lex, flowing towards the corner of the alley wall.
Nafi and the others immediately escorted Churchill past Lex, disappearing into the alley entrance behind them, while Lex stepped forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Levto, gazing ahead.
With the ability of the fallen whisper, Lex clearly sensed a malicious intent rapidly approaching. A moment later, under the gas street lamp, Lex saw several figures appear at the front of the alley.
The leader was quite tall, not much shorter than Levto. He wore a ship-shaped hat, revealing a pair of yellowish-brown eyes. His pupils were slightly narrow, reminding one of a snake or a lizard.
The part of his face below his eyes was covered by a black headscarf, which had a pattern of a monster resembling a fish with elongated octopus tentacles, like a Sea monster.
This man wore a cloak, and both the headscarf and the cloak would occasionally bulge, as if something was wriggling underneath, as if many tentacles were hidden beneath.
Lex also felt that after these few people appeared, the air in the alley became noticeably humid, and even water droplets had appeared on the ground by the man's feet.
"Who are you?" Lex asked in a deep voice.
The man opposite spoke in a strange voice, "Constantine Howl Constantine."
His voice was peculiar, his enunciation unclear, as if he was speaking with something in his mouth.
But this name made Lex's heart tighten.
He had heard this name before.
That was the Deep Sea Admiral's name!
Information about the Deep Sea Admiral was incredibly scarce, even less than about the four Pirate Kings. In the Black Sail's intelligence, only the Deep Sea Admiral's name and the information that he possessed the Bloodline of a Sea monster were known. Other than that, where he came from or what abilities he had were not mentioned.
"Deep Sea Admiral?"
Lex narrowed his eyes slightly, "Are you also looking for Churchill? Are you also pursuing the legend of the Fountain of Youth?"
The man calling himself 'Howl Constantine' made an indistinct sound from within his black headscarf: "That's none of your business."
Lex chuckled, "Is that so? Then let me ask a different question: How did your father get involved with a Sea monster?"
Constantine's yellow pupils immediately narrowed into a slit, and he let out a low growl: "You're courting death!"
His eyes burned with rage as he lunged towards Lex, separating from his companions.
At the same time, a Light, like dawn, surged from Levto's body, transforming into a full set of armor. A two-handed greatsword also appeared in his hand. He brushed past the Deep Sea Admiral and charged towards Constantine's subordinates.
Lex, on the other hand, raised his hand and snapped his fingers. The gas street lamps in the alley suddenly flared brightly, then a ball of flame shot out from the lampshade. The flame then disappeared, and the area around Constantine suddenly became dark.
Just then, he felt the air seem to become viscous, giving him a feeling of moving in a quagmire, which slowed his movements. So he watched as Lex raised his hand, a long spear with a scorching white blade appearing in his hand. He watched as the other party threw this Flame Lance at him, and he watched as the spear hit him in the chest.
Boom!
In a violent explosion, the flames instantly burned away the Deep Sea Admiral's cloak, and the firelight illuminated his chest, which was covered in fish scales. Then, the flames shot into the sky, forming a pillar of fire that instantly lit up the alley.
Behind the Deep Sea Admiral, a storm composed of flecks of light appeared simultaneously, blocking Constantine's subordinates. By the time the storm dissipated and they reached their captain, Lex and Levto had already escaped through the alley entrance on the other side.
The flames subsided, and the air was filled with dense water vapor, creating plumes of white steam. Within the white smoke, Constantine quickly re-tied his fallen headscarf, then clutched his chest and said indistinctly, "I'm injured, severely so. I can't fight for a short time. We must leave Oravi immediately. We need to go deep into the Sonia Sea to avoid being hunted by our enemies."
Several subordinates were startled, not expecting that the hunter had severely injured their captain with just one strike.
What they didn't know was that it was a Flame Lance thrown by a Sequence 5, and a Fatal Blow was also attached to the spear!
