The Virgin shook violently, making a terrifying creaking sound, as if it was about to fall apart at any moment.
The raging waters crashed violently against the ship's side, stirring up overwhelming waves and drenching the people on deck like chickens in soup.
Diego knew he didn't have time to cut Erzumat's tentacles one by one, and he had to deal a heavy blow to the sea monster in order to force it to let go of the Maiden.
He struggled to keep his balance and made his way to port side - the violently rocking hull made it very difficult, but he succeeded in the end.
He climbed on the edge of the stern and grabbed the parapet to look out into the water.
What he saw were four terrifying eyeballs of horror, evil and cold embedded between Erzumat's massive ovoid head and eight tentacles, glittering in the dim waters of the water.
It was the eye of devouring and fear bestowed upon it by the ancient evil god Enzos.
With just one glance, Diego was almost completely destroyed by his will and reason.
In that moment, it was as if he was confronted directly with the nightmare god Enzos, and his soul was almost drained into an endless nightmare of fear and chaos.
Diego used all his strength to break free and forcibly cut off the ghost's tear at his soul.
He leaned limply against the broken mast, sweating profusely and panting violently.
This happens on the soul plane, and combat is more exhausting than face-to-face hand-to-hand combat.
"In the name of the Holy Light, I sincerely ask for your protection, under your glory, evil and darkness will not be able to blind my eyes, eat away at our flesh ~ body, and defile our soul!"
Diego prayed silently in his heart, and as he prayed, a soft aura appeared around him, guarding him like a faithful guard, driving fear and nightmares away from him.
He took a deep breath, then summoned the deepest strength within him, a mixture of courage and determination, and surging light surged out of his arm and into the chamber of the Death Gaze.
More brutal and violent than ever, the power of the Holy Light several times more than usual was compressed into the chamber of the gun, and even the barrel forged from Safilon iron and Aujin began to heat up.
Diego poured the power of light into the chamber of the gun in desperation, until the death gaze burned and he could barely hold it.
"The Light is with me!"
He prayed one last time, then strode out of the side of the ship and leaped into the sea.
Diego knows he only has one chance.
Some powerful beasts have very keen intuition, this wild instinct trained by thousands of hunts and hunts, so that they can perceive the danger in the dark, so as to get rid of the harvest of death, and the perception of the demigod sea monster like Erzumat is even more acute, perhaps a hostile gaze may make it feel it.
Seconds later, like a stone, Diego fell into the sea with a thud.
He did this on purpose, because the position of the object in the water as seen by the human eye is always very different from the actual position due to the refraction of the water surface.
Just like when an experienced fisherman spearfishes, the position of the spines is always a little deeper than the position of the fish seen.
Diego knew he wasn't a good fisherman and couldn't tell the true location of his prey, and he didn't have a chance to try it a few more times, so he chose a stupid but absolutely effective approach.
That is to throw yourself into the sea, in the same medium as the fish.
Relying on the inertia of the thrust, Diego slowly sank underwater, until he was only a few meters away from the giant sea monster.
He held his breath, then suddenly opened his eyes.
He saw that just a few meters away, Erzumat was looking at him coldly, but thanks to the protection of the Shadow Resistance Aura, Diego was immune to the gaze of the Eye of Fear and still kept his sanity.
At this distance, the sea monster appeared to be even larger, and the massive sea monster took up almost his entire field of vision.
"Die!"
He said in his heart, and then pulled the trigger hard.
Like the sun tearing through the haze, the shining torrent of light broke free from the confines of the death gaze, and the terrifying power of the tenfold compression seemed to make the entire Endless Sea tremble, even underwater, the roar of the death gaze in that moment still shook everyone's eardrums.
The light, the unstoppable light, was so swift that it seemed to hit its target the moment it left the chamber of the gun, and in that moment it pierced through the seawater and into Erzumat's eye, tearing through thin eyelids, shattering tender eyeballs, piercing through weak bones, and piercing deep into its skull.
Yes, the octopus monster's brain is located behind these eyes, not in the bulging ovoid head.
Erzumat, who was frantically tightening his wrists and feet and wanted to shred the Virgin, suddenly froze.
The next moment, an earth-shattering hiss of pain burst out from the sea and spread in all directions.
The pain beyond the limit completely destroyed the sea monster's mind, and the huge body twisted and twitched, and the huge yellow-brown tentacles unconsciously let go of the virgin horn, and whipped wildly in the seawater, and blood mixed with white brain pulp gushed out from the huge wound that almost ran through the entire brain, staining a large area of sea water red.
Under its frantic agitation, the sea also began to shake violently, and the monstrous waves rose flat, surging, roaring, and the long-scarred Virgin almost fell apart in the great waves.
At this moment, Erzumat has fallen into madness.
With its eyes pierced and its lobes devastated, such a horrific injury was not even a fatal blow to the demigod, and the unique structure of the mollusk made it not so easy to die.
But the light that pierced through the body with the bullet caused it great pain.
The soft but inexpelling power of the Holy Light fought wildly with the power of the evil god in its body, as if it was alive, burrowing inward along the wound, like maggots in the tarsal bones, stirring up waves in the bone marrow, making the whole body convuls, and the will into madness.
Under this insane pain, Erzumat trembled in agony, his body spasmed, and the intense pain finally broke his will completely.
It rolled and writhed like crazy, following its instincts, and kept diving into the depths, wanting to return to its lair and spend time licking its wounds.

If it's lucky, its master, Enzos, might even be kind enough to help it.
With Erzumat gone, the sea gradually returned to calm.
I don't know how long it took for the people who had died to live a lifetime to let out a huge cheer as if they had just woken up from a big dream.
The Virgin's hull was devastated and dilapidated, but it remained strong and intact.
It is a miracle that it has survived this catastrophe.
But for Captain Aubrey, the tattered sight in front of him almost made him cry, and he was sure that the rich man Rivigaz would have skinned him this time.
At this moment, the first mate, Nizlix, and several sailors came up.
They were dragging the tentacles of Erzumat, which had been cut off by Diego.
"Captain, shall we eat this tonight?"
"Don't even think about it!"
Aubrey's eyes lit up, and a hungry tiger pounced, hugging the tentacle like a life-saving straw, not disgusting at all, "I'm going to use this to explain to Rivigazi!"
” "Come on, man, by the time you get back to Treasure Bay, this tentacle will be rotten!"
Covered in seawater, Diego climbed onto the side of the boat with the help of the druid, "We'll eat this tonight, and I'll write a letter to the rich man to help you explain it to him!"
” There was a burst of cheers on the deck, and the people who had survived the dead didn't want to do anything more now, they just wanted to have a revelry, to celebrate that they had survived again!
