Audrey's group took their chances and accepted help from a total stranger; but who really was this captain that goes by the name of Henry Styles?What were his secrets?Well, unbeknownst to them, their current benefactor was no other than the captain of the legendary ghost ship known as the Flying Dutchman and an antagonist in nautical folklore. Some years since, a famous captain was renowned for achieving unusual cruising speeds on his voyages. Such were his exploits at the helm that many of his contemporaries suspected him of being in league with the Devil. The story states that he deliberately implored a demon for the power to sail the seas unaffected by inclement weather. It is said the devil himself had given captain Henry Styles the power to make his ship the fastest ship on all the seas after the man sold his soul to him one night with a full moon. Since then, no ship in the record had ever traveled faster than the reckless captain's ship. Rumor has it that they can break
It was already halfway through the day when they met the captain at the underwater cave and got rescued by him. So considering this, it was only normal that Audrey's group only started sailing again when dusk was already closing in. At the same time, while admiring the picturesque view before her, a sigh escaped Audrey's lips without her knowing it."Truly, there was nothing quite like watching the sun paints the sky orange-pink as it kisses the ocean goodnight"A contented smile was hanging on her lips as she thought this out loud.But while Audrey was busy observing the beautiful seascape, her friends, on the other hand, were in the middle of a discussion“Up is down.”Allan read the passage written in the footnote of the map. However, in spite of exhausting every last bit of his brain cells, he still could not make out a single thing from what was written.“Well, this one is maddeningly unhelpful. He concluded, and that was when he resorted to dragging his friends into this riddle.
With regained calmness and a cold glint flickering through her beautiful black eyes, Audrey willed the fire to vanish and then she ordered the captain, "Tell me everything about everything that I should know it the Cape of Habibi… Leave no details unsaid... It is my first test to you as my loyal subject..."People who found themselves transported to another world would usually long to go back to where they came from. It was a natural instinct, born in the depths of one's heart to persist in lingering inside and would rear its head whenever the transmigrator felt like he was already okay to stay in the current world. No matter how one denies it, it was a fact that even if one had no ties remaining to that place, the concept of home was not something they could easily brush off. The longing in their hearts would prevent them from fully integrating into the new world… They would always think of the inerasable past. It was the most painful kind of home-sickness.But the question was, in n
Meanwhile, apart from Niccoli’s pet, there would probably be no other contractual beast that would ever come close to Monami’s great naivety and kindness to its master. Before Niccoli could even learn from anyone that Audrey vanished, it was already reported to him by his cat"Master! It's bad! Somebody attacked your friend and teleported her out of the surface world!"The prince was with his brother and checking on the menu at the cafeteria when the news reached his ear. The other party was just surprised upon noticing his dumbfounded expression. When he saw that it turned into a grim one, Nike asked him in a worried tone, "Is there something wrong?"With a cold face, the young man exhaled. He chose not to answer his brother for the time being as the matter was obviously very heavy and worrisome. In the whole mage continent, there was no one else in the greatest danger of getting killed or attacked by enemies other than him. This was what crossed the young prince's mind, the momen
Every day that passed and Selene kept hearing that not only his most hated cousin and sworn rival in power and influence, Audrey, were still alive and kicking but also gaining more advantages compared to her, hatred kept brewing in her heart. The discomfort and pain were there. The humiliation never left her skin, especially as she could never forget the dirty deeds she committed with the crown prince before just so that she could secure her position. She always waited for results to come while feeling the searing agony in her heart. Bits and pieces of images popped up in her head from time to time.'When will those two die?' It had become a question most frequently repeated in her head.Unfortunately, the news she was waiting for never arrived. She also never heard from the crown prince again, that user that she also hated and daily cursed to die for discardin
At least someone in the mage continent was planning to cross to the Layers to chase after Audrey who got thrown to some unknown realm. They were none other than Professor Sonny, the person obsessed with the power that Audrey holds in her blood;Professor Sonny instinctively knew that he could puncture through dimensions and travel the space in between them. The only problem was that he had no idea where in the layers Audrey was now.On the other hand, without knowing anything next to what was brewing in the surface world, Audrey was still on her way to the capital of the Empire. Her movements were discreet, but not because the woman feared those in the imperial family of the dynasty. It was simply to not alert them and make them wary.Yet even though that was the plan, Audrey was not simply being a traveler.&nb
On that evening, Audrey said she wanted a list of people and families who had previously rebelled against the Xia Empire, of those who were discontented with the rule of the Mao Imperial Clan. Two weeks later, after finishing a miracle healing session in her temporary 'Temple', Audrey convened a meeting with the people her followers invited back after a long journey. Releasing an aura of a 'Goddess', which was essentially just the aura of someone with the blood of a deity, she flashed a sweet, enchanting smile before taking the elaborately designed throne at the center. She then said to the awestruck crowd watching her from below."This Goddess here is called Sofia, which means knowledge in the language of the gods.""In my name as the representative of heaven, I declared that the Xia Dynasty's Mao Imperial Clan has been too decadent, tyrannic
A feeling of hopelessness engulfed him as he widened his eyes upon being smiled at by a beautiful red-head woman on the B Empire's side.Somebody who matched Audrey's description of the woman responsible for delaying them and causing the escape of Mao, leader of C Empire's Catastrophe."Damn."The world had been frozen. Even Nike, who had already been making big improvement in his magic level, could not move and could at most move his eyes, albeit he was at least not detached to this new reality."You are Grace."In such a world, Niccoli blankly muttered a name even though the mic was already placed under his lips. He found it more dreadful how the words did not seem to reach the more than a hundred thousand people beneath the stage.Red-haired and
