Level Up Legacy Chapter 1310 Lunar Eclipse

Chapter 1310 Lunar Eclipse

"This is the Queen of Hearts," said Spades with a frown as he tried to touch the sculpture. However, the moment he made contact, his entire hand was covered in frost, turning into an ice sculpture itself. He jumped back in time, limiting the damage he sustained.
"This is what you get for being reckless!" said Clubs with a snicker as he placed his hands in his pockets and made a dramatic walk toward the ice sculpture. He took a few rounds around it, inspecting with interest. "Jian Ba still looks as tasty! Ah! No wonder Lord Eros has set his eyes on her."
"Focus, idiot," said Hearts as he frowned at the situation. His scales glowed green as he looked at the portal, attempting to see through to the other side. Then, his eyes narrowed before he turned toward the Erotic Mansion.
The gates burst open, and everyone at the scene knelt at the same time. Spades focused on healing his hand as he fell to his knees as well. As silver threads appeared around the ice, it began to disappear while retaining his hand. A man stepped out of the cloud of mist that overtook the deck, stretching his body under the moonlight. The torchlight revealed his impressive figure and arrogant smile.
Of course, the man was a naked Deluge, known among his men as Eros. His silver hair touched the ground behind him, left unkempt after his last journey throughout Sourna. His bones cracked as he stretched because of the long period of sitting. However, he looked as healthy as the day he went inside the mansion.
"We greet the God of Lust!" said the pirates in unison. No one had the haughty attitude they had for each other, and no one dared to step out of line in front of him.
"You may rise," said Eros as he waved a hand, rubbing his chin while in thought. "It seems that Spades has already tried to save Jian Ba from the ice. It is futile. She was frozen by an enemy of unfathomable powers," said the calamity as he walked past his men to stand in front of Jian Ba. "And here I was eager to give her some punishment."
"I can kill her myself now, Lord Eros," said the humanoid monster as his eyes shone with a green light. Deluge shook his head, still looking at the encased Jian Ba with interest. Then, he reached out toward the ice.
"Please be careful, sir," said Spades with panic. "The ice spreads the moment one touches it," he warned. However, Eros did not listen and touched the ice. In the next three seconds, his entire arm turned to ice. Before it spread any further, Eros struck his shoulder and chopped off his arm.
The frozen arm fell from its socket and crashed to the deck. It shattered into countless parts that left no room for its restoration. The entire crew was left stunned, unable to believe that someone could harm their lord to this extent.
"What a scary woman," muttered Eros with a grin as his arm grew back in the next instant, as if he was simply hiding it inside his torso. Once again stunned by his unparalleled regenerative ability, the crewmates stood silent as their lord pondered something.
"Diamonds," called Eros to his captain. "Can you do something about this ice?"
"I can try, my lord," said the tall man as he shuffled toward the sculpture, dragging his feet behind him. "A good way to do this is to extract her soul and then rebuild her body after we shatter the ice."
"Although I have doubts about being able to shatter the ice, Hearts can have a go," said Eros with a nod. "Begin your work this instant."
Diamonds nodded and crouched beside the ice. His hands released a creepy aura that seeped into the ice, attempting to bypass it. In the meantime, Spades advanced toward his lord, seeking more knowledge about the current situation.
"Should we prepare for this enemy, sir?" asked Spades, being the more calculating person in the crew. "It seems that their powers can be troublesome. If we can find a method to counter them, then…"
"Spirits cannot be countered," said Eros with a sigh. "I had trouble against them in my past life. They are creatures that are out of this world and do not fall under the authority of the sins and human temptations."
Spades understood that this was a subject that he didn't know about. However, if he wanted to know more, he would research on his own. It would be unwise to anger their lord the moment he remained. But he still wished to know more.
"How did this happen, if I can ask?" asked Spades while bowing his head. "If this is inappropriate of me to ask, then I can offer my head in apology."
"Just chill, man," said Eros with a laugh. Then, he summarized the situation. Spades began to understand the bigger picture, which boiled down to Arthur Netherborne and his woman intervening with their plans. The fight against the ice spirit happened three days ago, and their lord was recovering during that time.
Furthermore, Eros explained that they had captured Valeria, and she was residing in the prisons of Sourna at the moment. The crew was supposed to go there to take her, and their journey would be smooth sailing from there.
"What the hell?" muttered Diamonds with a sweaty face as he backed away from the ice. Eros and the rest were confused as the lanky man stood from the ground. "This ice sculpture is protected by a powerful soul, but I can work around it. For some reason, my ability stopped working."
Spades was confused, and he tried to summon his ability. As the familiar feeling of mana entered his mana-essence spread through his body, he was suddenly horrified to see that he couldn't activate his ability. His ability itself refused to activate, not something external blocking it.
"Our abilities have stopped working," announced Spades to the rest, and they tried to do the same, only to begin to panic. Chaos spread in the crew as Eros stood there with a frown. As they tried to understand what was happening, the moonlight suddenly disappeared. Spades raised his eyes to see that the moon was replaced with a lunar eclipse. Then, a voice whispered into their souls.
"I found you."
