As the attack hit the Merchant Ship, in the blink of an eye, the entire ship was blown up, sending pieces of wood and debris flying through the air in every direction. Everyone in the ship had died, not even their bodies left behind.

"I was right. This is the same level of attack. The only problem is that this isn't as versatile as her. Firstly, she could attack instantly, but these people need to gather energy for quite a long time. If I'm not wrong, they're using a particularly interesting power source as well."

Karyk created a shield before him that protected from from the aftermath of the attack as well as the debris. He even protected the scholarly man. He couldn't let his ticket to the Celestial City get ruined after all.

"T-thank you!" The scholarly man thanked Karyk, even more grateful to him. He was even more certain that Karyk was from the Capital and someone very high up. His tone became even more respectful.

Although the City Lord of Celestial City was a powerful being in this part of the world, his strength was nothing when compared to the Emperor and his Generals.

Not a single person dared to go against the Emperor who was like a god. There were even rumors that only the Emperor could hear the voice of God.

"We should try to escape. Within a few minutes, the Cannons would be ready again. When we create enough distance, it should be hard for them to aim. And with most of their powerhouses dead, they can't chase us either!"

"We should take a different direction. They are after me, so I will distract them! You'll be able to leave!" The man exclaimed.

He knew that even his master couldn't take the responsibility of a high ranking member of the Royal Capital was to die here. On the other hand, his life was cheaper. Moreover, since Karyk was stronger, he also had a better chance of escaping alive.

"When you leave this place, please go to the Celestial City and hand this to the City Lord! Tell him everything that happened here!"

The man handed a small bag to Karyk as he started running in a particular direction, loudly cursing the pirates to be sure they heard his cursing. He wanted to be certain that they only targeted him.

Just as he expected, the Pirates were furious, their entire focus on him. He was also their target in the first place. 𝙛𝓻𝙚𝙚𝔀𝙚𝓫𝓷𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝒎

All the Pirate Ships started turning around, aiming at the young man. All ships targeted the man, keeping a small variation from each other, making sure that even if the man dodged, he was to be hit by one attack or another.

Karyk watched the scholarly man run, frowning. It was true that he could leave now. Even if this small group of pirates wanted to, they couldn't stop him. Moreover, he didn't have to go to the Celestial Lord and keep this item to himself.

He opened the small bag, looking inside. As he saw the material inside, his frown deepened. "So this is what everyone is after?"

He was sure that it was precious. Even if he couldn't use it, he could sell it. But money was the last of his concerns. For him, information was everything.

As long as this wasn't a world ending weapon that could hurt his people, he didn't care about it. And the item inside the bag wasn't something that could be used for a war.

In the end, he dropped the idea to leave. Even if he went to the Celestial City Lord with this, he couldn't win his complete trust. No matter what, the man was going to be even more suspicious about him and the story.

He needed someone to distract the City Lord. That's why he had to save the person.

"You people are so troublesome. But you're also my lottery ticket, so I can't lose you."

Karyk raised his sword, gathering a small amount of aura.

Just like the Princess had done in the past, he used the Aura to attack.

A single attack... With a single swing of his sword, he created a beautiful crescent moon that shot out towards the pirate ships that were still gathering the essence.

Just like the Princess, he didn't need to wait for his attacks. The only problem was that it used quite a lot of his reserves, especially since he first had to convert that essence to not get caught.

The crescent moon of aura sliced through the air, heading straight towards the pirate ships. The attack was swift and precise, cutting through the ships effortlessly. One by one, the pirate ships exploded into flames, sending shockwaves through the ocean.

The pirates on the ships could only watch in horror as they were decimated by Karyk's attack that was no weaker than the might of their combined cannon attack.

Even until their last moment, they looked at the unknown moment in disbelief. Until their last breath, they were wondering who this person was. They were even cursing their luck for coming across this scary person.

But for Karyk, it was just another battle, another step closer to his goal in this new world. As the last pirate ship went up in flames, he turned his attention towards the scholarly man who still hadn't realized what happened behind his back. fr(e)enovelkiss.com

"How long are you planning to run for?" Karyk asked, his voice calm yet able to reach the scholarly man.

The man slowed down, frowning. He was sure he heard explosions. He thought it was because the ships had attacked him. But realizing he was still fine and Karyk was talking to him, he couldn't help but turn around.

When he looked back, his jaws dropped in disbelief. All the pirate ships that were about to attack him had been destroyed, their remains burning right before their eyes as they slowly sank in the water.
