The green light slowly brightened. I took a closer look and realized that it was a huge ship shrouded in green light.
There was a line of words painted on the hull of the ship with some strange dye. The dye emitted a faint green light in the night like a ghost.
When I got closer, I saw that the line read, "Reveal your true form under the moonlight."
What does that mean? I was puzzled. While I was hesitating, a small boat descended from the huge ship.
Avina and I jumped onto the boat with great difficulty. Then, the boat was raised to the deck. I didn't know why, but Sim kept howling from the beginning. I had to ask Avina to put her into the magic space. Avina had used the summoning magic that Hiseside The Elder had taught her and signed a soul contract with Sim. So, Sim was now Avina's summoned beast.
When I got on the deck, I was stunned by the scene in front of me. On the deck, dozens of young and beautiful men and women were singing and dancing to the accompaniment of the music. The surrounding tables were filled with all kinds of delicacies and fine wine.
The sky was covered in thick dark clouds, but the ship was brightly lit. However, the lights were the strangest green.
"Would you like some champagne?" one of the ship's attendants asked me.
"Thank you." I took two glasses of wine and handed one of them to Evina.
But at this moment, the moon that was covered by the dark clouds peeked through the cracks. The moonlight shone on the waiter's face. His red and tender skin instantly turned into dry white bones.
I was startled, and the cup in my hand slipped out of my hand unconsciously. The dark clouds covered the moonlight again, and the waiter's face returned to normal.
"Are you not feeling well?" Avina asked with concern.
"I'm fine. Maybe I'm too tired."
"Sir, would you like any other service?" the waiter asked politely.
"No, thank you."
At the party, people were still singing and dancing. It was a cheerful scene.
Suddenly, all the lights in the party went out. "Pop." A beam of light focused below Avina and me.
A man walked out from the captain's room. He was wearing the captain's uniform and looked handsome.
"Lofis?" I exclaimed in surprise. Everyone's gaze focused on me.
"That's right, I am the leader of the Singhadi pirates, Lofis."
"Avina, things don't look good," I reminded her.
Suddenly, the dark clouds that shrouded the moon dissipated without anyone noticing. I finally saw the true faces of these people, and Evena's face turned pale with fright.
Those young and beautiful men and women were not humans at all, but a group of repulsive sea ghosts. The ghastly white skeleton's eyeballs fell to the ground, and its flesh and blood splattered everywhere.
"I want him alive." Lofis turned around and saw that the left side of his face had already turned into white bone.
The sea ghosts lunged at Avina and me. My weapon had been taken away by the staff when we boarded the ship.
I ran on the deck with Avina. We had to escape back to the small boat.
A few ferocious-looking sea ghosts blocked our way. I threw a punch at them, but they easily caught it. Then, the surrounding sea ghosts immediately tied me and Ai Wena up.
"Bring him to me!"
Under Lofis' command, the sea ghosts brought Avina and I, who were tied up, to him.
Then, the sky was covered in dark clouds again.
Lofis still had his handsome face, and his green hair made him look very capable.
"Don't you want to know why I am here?" Lofis asked proudly.
"What does this have to do with us?"
I knew that he had disappeared after the fight with the sea monsters. I had never expected him to show up here.
"Haha, I didn't expect to see such a beautiful woman on my ship." Then, Lofis lifted Avina's face.
Avina glared at Lofis while I scolded him.
"You b * stard, don't touch Avina."
"Oh? Do you think I won't touch her just because you say so? Also, let me tell you, I love it when people call me a b * stard. Haha. "
At this moment, no one noticed that in the corner, Aveena had accidentally dropped the magical beast egg we had picked up when she was caught by the sea ghost.
The demonic beast egg was glowing strangely. At first, it was pale gold. Then, it turned blue, red, green, yellow, purple, pink, and finally, it turned into a blinding white.
"Crack crack."
Cracks finally appeared on the surface of the magical beast egg with sparkling and translucent patterns.
Then, before everyone could react, Avina began to chant an incantation that I couldn't understand. Then, her body and the demonic beast glowed with pale blue light at the same time.
"Soul contract? I didn't expect you to know summoning magic. "Lofis was shocked.
Then, I looked at the baby beast that had hatched from the demonic beast egg. It was a cute, furry baby beast with wings. The baby beast flapped its wings a few times. It looked like it didn't even know how to fly. However, it looked really cute.
Iwena immediately used summoning magic to summon the cub into the magic space.
"Ah!" I suddenly roared in pain and my body started to lose control. Then, flames started to burn on the surface of my body. In an instant, the ropes that tied me up were burned into ashes.
My eyes were red and Lofis was stunned.
The sea ghosts pounced at me. Then, Avina took the chance to untie the ropes on her body.
My fists were burning with flames and I smashed the sea ghosts into pieces.
In a short while, I had killed over ten sea ghosts.
"Interesting." Lofis smirked. He pulled out the two scimitars by his waist and a purple glow appeared on the blades again, just like when we had fought against the sea monsters the other day.
"Dang dang dang."
My fists clashed with Lofis' purple blades and there was a clanging sound.
My fists were as hard as the blades. Avina wanted to help me but she knew that she would only be a burden to me.
Avina took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and ran to the boat on the deck. She slowly lowered the ropes.
On the other side, Lofis and I were in the midst of a fierce fight.
"Come to me, Laric!" Avina shouted at me after she was done with her preparations.
"Trying to run?" Lofis leaped and cut the ropes that were holding the boat.
"Help!" Avina and the boat fell into the vast sea.
I watched as Avina fell into the sea and became even crazier.
I fought Lofis with my fists and Lofis started to feel tired.
However, my situation wasn't any better.
The flames gradually dimmed and I lost my strength. I fell limp and I lost my center of gravity and fell into the sea.
I regained my consciousness. In a daze, I saw a line of words painted with a strange dye on the other side of the boat.
"Crossing the soul in the sea."
It turned out that the two sentences read, "Crossing the soul in the sea, revealing your true form under the moonlight."
With a plop, I fell into the ice-cold sea water.
