Undead creatures, logically speaking, must live in the realm of the dead. Only with the help of some spells from the necromancer can they briefly appear in reality.
This can be seen from the summoning spells used by Lovett.
All "summons from the realm of the dead" can only be maintained for a short period of time. Once the time is up or the spell effect ends, the summoned creatures will automatically return.
However, Emperor Kushan broke this rule by opening up the underworld with his astonishing power!
Leviathan, the red-eyed raven summoned from the underworld, does not require additional spellcasting to maintain it, and is directly bound to his soul, following the "Eighteen Recruitment Rules".
The root cause of this difference is that the "world of the dead" and the "underworld" are not the same place after all.
The latter is an imitation created by embedding a three-dimensional space out of thin air on the basis of the former. It looks exactly the same and is filled with the aura of the dead world, but...
It is precisely as a three-dimensional space that it proves that it is completely different from the world of the dead!
The real world of the dead is a world that cannot be defined. Even the words "the world of the dead" are just for the convenience of the world's understanding.
No mage can pry into its true appearance, and even the gods from the age of gods dare not step into it. Once you step in, everything will be "lost contact" in an instant, and you will not be able to bring back any answers.
"What is death" is the ultimate mystery of the Necromancy School. It was born after they can really control life and death and awaken the souls of the dead. It is their [return].
And their [origin] is to explore the truth about the world of the dead.
"The fact that I can come from the mage world to this fantasy world proves that time and space are not as simple as we think."
On the deck of the Leviathan, Lovett held down his cane and closed his eyes in deep thought.
"And my experience of forcibly opening the gate to the underworld and falling into the turbulence of time and space may have angered Emperor Kushan, or it may have triggered some trigger that I don't know."
"The fact that I can still summon the undead from the world of the dead and the underworld proves that I am not out of their sphere of influence. There are some rules that I don't know about that are in effect, connecting the world of the dead and the pirate world."
As a titled Archmage, Lovett's true power lies not in acting as a spell fort, but in his knowledge of the world.
"To verify this point of view, we need to start from two aspects. First, analyze whether there are differences between Devil Fruit, three-color Haki and the source of life force control; second..."
Slowly opening his eyes and looking at the misty sea ahead, Lovett raised the corners of his mouth.
"Leviathan may be able to find some answers by breaking through the shackles of race this time."
Ahead, the Devil's Triangle gradually reveals its true form.
"I bet Moriah isn't that easy to talk to."
Squatting silently on the deck, Ah Jin said to the bodyguard who was also squatting next to him.
The latter did not speak, but looked up blankly ahead.
What a fragrant smell!
…
At the same time, the terrifying three-masted sailing ship and the ghost castle.
"Lord Moria, something serious has happened!"
In the corner of the old castle spire, a zombie with a bandage on his shoulder ran into the study and shouted to the tall figure sitting with his back against the moon shadow.
"Huogubak should be strengthened here... No... this area should be re-sutured..."
Holding a book in his hand, the man with shallot hair was talking to himself.
Then he raised his head and looked at the zombie.
"What's wrong?"
This is his base camp, the hinterland of the Devil's Triangle, the terrifying three-masted sailing ship.
Moria really didn't think there was anything worth fearing.
"It's the Black Earl!"
The zombie said something that made Moria's expression change.
"The Black Earl's Levianson is coming in, pointing directly at us!"
【Bait】?
Moriah felt enlightened.
The terrifying three-masted sailboat has been hiding in the hinterland of the Devil's Triangle, and few ships dared to cross it. Therefore, he came up with a plan and put out a lot of [baits] to attract ignorant people to be fooled.
This is also the only way to identify the direction and approach the terrifying three-masted sailboat in a straight line.
but why?!
The expression on his gray face was ugly, and Moriah frowned silently.
He has no contact with the Black Earl. To be precise, there is no need and generally no contact between the Shichibukai.
Who among the Shichibukai is not a proud and arrogant person?
Everyone has their own purposes, and maintaining superficial peace is enough.
If the Black Earl hadn't defeated Crocodile, the veteran Shichibukai, Moria wouldn't even bother to remember his name. With the World Government here, would you still dare to attack me?
So there is only one possibility for the other party to take the initiative!
"The person who came here is not a good person!"
Moria's mouth moved away, revealing a charming smile: "Hehehehe, inform Absalom to prepare for the welcome."
The zombie who reported the news was stunned for a moment, but he didn't dare to ask questions and left quickly.
"yes!"
…
In the mist-shrouded ocean, two behemoths slowly approached.
Looking at the terrifying three-masted sailboat in front of him with no end in sight, Ajin said in shock: "Is this really a... ship?"
Calling it an island is not an exaggeration, right?!
Similarly, Moria's zombie troops on the shore also had horrified expressions. Such a large ship was simply unheard of.
My family knew their own business. The terrifying three-masted sailboat looked huge, but in fact it was just an island floating on the sea. Except for the huge sail used to control navigation, it had no connection with the "ship".
But this thing in front of me is different. It really looks like a ship. It is placed in the ocean and its size is disappointing.
"Open the door!!"
With a shout, an iron gate on the wall-like outer wall of the terrifying three-masted sailing ship opened from the left and right. A group of zombies removed the fixed iron hoops blocking the ocean current. Before they could escape, the Leviathan rushed in and set off
Tsunami.
The huge bay port separated by the wall was so packed by the Leviathan that it even had to grow two legs and move itself to the shore before it could successfully get its butt in.
No one can understand Fatty's sadness.
Fortunately, Leviathan knew that this pain would only last for a while. He looked curiously at the zombies who had a faint smell coming from all around, and the bones of their faces were full of "greedy" visible to the naked eye.
"Hehehehehe, His Excellency the Black Earl's visit is really unexpected!"
"Captain Moria is welcome."
Walking down the deck, Lovett raised his hat slightly and nodded at him.
"I came to disturb you without contacting you. Please don't blame me for not being polite."
"No, no, you didn't cover up your whereabouts to let me know. Your Excellency is already very sincere."
"So……"
Suddenly, Moriah's eyes turned cold: "What brings you here?"
It is impossible to be polite.
We are all Shichibukai, and they are all extremely vicious people. The Black Earl "came to visit" with great fanfare, so Moriah didn't dare to let him in.
Under the established rules of the Shichibukai, stepping into other people's territory at will is undoubtedly a provocation!
"I've already called Wulaoxing to ask, but they didn't ask you to come."
He continued, and the surrounding zombie troops slowly surrounded him. Under the leadership of a blond man with a leopard jaw, the encirclement was formed step by step.
No Shichibukai is really that clean!
In addition to Moria's zombie troops on the terrifying barque, there are also civilians and even nobles who have had their shadows taken away and are hiding on the island. Once these people are exposed, Moria will be in big trouble.
"Chirp?"
Leviathan looked at the fragrant food approaching with curiosity, and asked Lovett for instructions.
Can I start eating?
In response, Lovett nodded and smiled.
"I only have one purpose for coming today. Captain Moria doesn't need to worry."
"I heard there are a lot of zombies on your island, so I wanted to borrow them for use."
