Under the watchful eyes of all, the ship wrapped in Spectral Flames, like a blazing torch, collided head-on with the craggy cliffs—yet the expected explosion and thunderous collision sound did not occur.

The ship seemed to “melt” at the instant of impact, its sturdy deck, hull, and keel structure all melted like mud, flowing down, and silently slapped onto the cliffside. Rather than saying it crashed into it, the moment of impact was more like a lump of mud “splattered” on the cliff—then, the entire ship seemed as if it had been absorbed by the island, disappearing completely among the clustered, craggy stone pillars.

As for the Spectral Flames that had been burning fiercely on the ship just a moment ago, they now formed a massive ring of fire upon impact with the island’s cliffs. The eerie green sea of fire unfolded like ripples along the coastline and, after a moment’s delay, splashed into the sea, igniting the mist-shrouded waters and slowly spreading out in front of the combined fleet.

The incident was sudden, and it seemed that the fleet from the Church had yet to react to what had happened, while on the Homeloss, Nina had already opened her eyes in astonishment, “Did that ship ‘commit suicide’?!”

Lucresia’s tone sounded somewhat incredulous, “Dad, did that ship… just break free from your orders?”

Duncan did not answer; he just frowned tightly, confirming in his mind the vague “perception” that the ship had sent him just before it collided with the cliff. After a long time, he finally broke the silence thoughtfully, “No… it wasn’t out of control.”

“Not out of control?” Lucresia was somewhat puzzled, “Then why did it suddenly crash into the cliff…”

“The order I gave it was ‘go home’—so it did,” Duncan said slowly, “I just previously thought that a ship’s ‘home’ was the port where it usually docks and is maintained, but for that ship… its ‘home’ must be the island itself.”

Lucresia seemed to be pondering the meaning of Duncan’s words, but those who had previously experienced the Frost incident, like Fenna and Morris, were starting to catch on. Morris suddenly furrowed his brow, “You mean, that ship is…”

Duncan’s expression was serious, “The ship was built with the ‘substance’ from the island, at least a large part of it.”

The loss of the “pathfinding ship” was unexpected, but it did not have much of an impact on the combined fleet—the fleet had already found the location of Holy Land Island, and the course had been recorded on the sea chart. Now, the eerie green Spectral Flame was burning quietly on the sea surface, continuing to suppress the fog around the area, and shortly after, the Brilliant Starship discovered the entrance to the “fjord” that Ai Yi had seen from the air.
