Meanwhile, Nathan had successfully blocked the craziest combined attack from nine of the Twelve Spirits.
As the saying went, the first attack would often be the most powerful one, while the following ones were less potent.
The Twelve Spirits' first wave of assault was completely blocked by Nathan. As their continued assault was intercepted again, their confidence waned.
The moment that happened, Nathan struck back.
The Unsullied in his hand let out a loud noise that resembled a dragon's roar. It was very effective at throwing his opponent's balance off.
With a swing of his blade, three heads flew into the air while pillars of blood gushed out of three headless corpses.
Only six of the Twelve Spirits were left, and they were dumbstruck.
Nathan was fully in God of War mode as he rushed toward them. He killed them all in an instant as though he was chopping vegetables.
Corpses were scattered all over the deck. The air was filled with the stench of blood and death.
It looked like hell on earth, and Nathan was the murderous devil who had walked out of that hell.
All Twelve Spirits were dead.
Nathan alone had the power to take down the entire Ghost Ship himself.
Inside the ship, Colin, Kraven, and Kerry picked up the pace of their search for those imprisoned there.
At the entrance of a corridor, two fully armed guards were standing at their posts with sub-machine guns in their hands.
While they knew a powerful enemy had boarded the ship based on the unending sirens and that there was fighting on the deck, they didn't know the details.
That was why they appeared very anxious as they guarded the corridor.
Suddenly, a figure appeared before them.
Their eyes widened, their hands lifting the sub-machine guns subconsciously.
Before they could even fire their guns, someone grabbed their necks and snapped them.
Both guards collapsed to the floor with their eyes open, still staring at the person who killed them.
Colin was the one who ended their lives before swiftly moving on.
Not long after, he came across Kraven and Kerry coming from the opposite direction.
When Kraven saw him, he quickly asked, “Did you find him, General Dunne?”
Lying on the floor was a man with disheveled hair. His facial features were obscured.
Colin uttered, “Someone's kept inside there. Not only that, the room's frozen. Why's that?”
Kraven replied, “Maybe they intentionally lowered the temperature to drain the prisoner's strength. That way, the prisoner won't have enough strength to resist or break free. For example, if you put a venomous snake into a low-temperature box, it'll become less ferocious, no matter how fierce it was before.”
“Is the person inside Old Mr. Macmaster or Old Mr. Styles?” Colin asked.
Hearing that, Kraven quickly leaned toward the window and called out, “Master! Is that you, Master?”
Kerry called out, too. “Master, It's me, Kerry. Is that you?”
The prisoner was still lying on the floor inside the ice prison. It seemed like that person had moved but also didn't.
Colin and the others exchanged a look.
“We need to find a way to open the door,” he suggested.
Kraven promptly turned to Kerry. “This is your specialty.”
After pulling out a tool bag, she crouched in front of the metal door and opened the bag. Then she began studying the lock and said, “Leave it to me!”
