301 Chapter 301 Raging Sea (1)
Aldred opened his eyes, and saw that his room was dark. He wanted to reach out for the mana gem to get some light, but a lightning flashed, the light entered through his window, and a silhouette of a man appeared.
“Who are you?” Aldred asked. He stood up and moved away from the bed to prevent the attacker from attacking his wives.
“Have you forgotten about me already?”
A mana gem activated, creating a dim light showing the figure of a man with muscled arms and brawny frame. He was tall with a middle-aged appearance. He had hazel hair and a sculpted chest with no beard or mustache.
The man stabbed the wall with his right hand, and then moved towards Aldred. His hand dragged through the steel, crumbling and breaking it.
“Do you remember me now?”
Aldred frowned. “Pharder. You cannot harm me. I am protected by the curse.”
“I know. It’s not me who will take your life.”
Thunder boomed and lightning blinded his eyes with light. Aldred closed his eyes and then opened them. Then he realized he wasn’t in his room anymore, he was on the front deck of his mothership with a violent storm raging the sea. Rain drenched the floor.
Aldred frowned as his eyes locked into the distance. A pitch-black ship sailed through a giant wave and pierced through it. On that ship there was no one but one man, and that man stared at him from miles away.
“Simond?”
Simond raised his hand and shouted something that Aldred couldn’t hear. But after that, the pitch-black mothership fired an orb of dark energy at him.
Aldred widened his eyes as the dark energy approached. His eyes filled with terror when he saw the amount of terrifying energy in it. And when the orb came close, he shouted: “NO!”
Aldred summoned his Phantom Doomblade and slashed at the orb. “Stop!”
…
“STOP!!” Aldred woke up in bed with his wives looking at him worriedly.
“Aldred, what’s wrong?” Mary asked.
“Are you okay?” Mareona approached him and asked. “You’re sweating.” She wiped the sweat off his face.
Aldred was confused at first, but then he realized. “I think I just had a nightmare.”
His wives sighed in relief after hearing that.
“You made us worried there, dear.” Zafrina hugged him.
Aldred chuckled. “Sorry about that.”
“It’s okay, Aldred,” Stella said. “You must be so scared. But we have a little surprise for you.”
“What is it?”
Stella waved her hand, and a table with a bunch of tasty food appeared. “Tada, we have prepared all of this for you.”
“You guys made all of these?”
“Yes. We asked (forced) Bartrem to teach us how to cook.”
Aldred’s heart melted and all of his fear and worry disappeared. “Thank you.”
His wives all hugged him and said: “Families don’t say thank you to each other.”
Aldred blushed and scratched his head.
Stella pulled him. “Come, my dear. Let me feed you.”
“No, let me feed you,” Zafrina said.
“No. Me.” Sophia shoved them away.
“It’s my turn.” Mareona pushed her to the side.
“Big brother. Can Krista feed you?”
His wives went silent after that and they all looked at Krista. She smiled sweetly.
“I guess we can let Krista feed Aldred first,” Rachel said.
“I don’t mind.”
Krista giggled and grabbed a small spoon before feeding Aldred a cake.
She accidentally put a cake on Aldred’s cheek. “Sorry big brother.”
“It’s fine.” Aldred laughed.
“Krista will clean it for you.” She kissed Aldred’s cheek.
“There you go, big brother.”
“Thanks, Krista.”
“Un.” Krista nodded with a smile and fed him more cakes.
After eating the cakes, Stella, Mary, Mareona, Mira and the others took turns to feed him.
As he was happily eating, Ivette’s body shone.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at her.
“Ivette, you’re glowing.”
Ivette didn’t notice it at first, but she looked at her hands and noticed that light came out of her body. “What is happening?”
Mira frowned. “Someone is looking for you.”
“Someone? Who?”
“It’s probably the person who gave you that power.”
“I see… It’s good if he’s looking for me. I can finally say my thanks.”
After that, Krista and Kiara glowed as well. Different from Ivette, their light didn’t have an aura of holiness.
“What’s wrong with you two?”
Stella casted a spell on them, and glowing runes appeared in front of her. She read the runes and furrowed her eyebrows. “Someone is looking for the both of them.”
“Oh? Who?”
“My Lord, we detect a fleet ahead of us.”
“What fleet?”
Burchard showed Aldred a projection. Frowning, Aldred stared at the projection with mixed feelings.
“The Red Devil Skull.”
“That pirate again? Why are they chasing us?”
“My best guess is the Duke defeated them, and now they are chasing after us for revenge.”
“What a petty pirate.”
“Burchard, tell everyone to prepare for battle.”
“Yes, my lord.”
The Destroyer’s Fleet loaded the shells to the cannon and aimed it towards the west. They were all ready to fire at any time.
The Red Devil Skull Mothership roared and shook the ocean. And then it fired.
“FIRE!”
Aldred laughed. “My mothership is not as weak as before.”
The Devourer moved all of its 92 main cannon to the west, and blasted one shell after another.
It then projected a protective shield to the other ships, protecting them from enemy attack.
Meanwhile, the pirate’s ships were sunk one by one.
As the battle ensued, another mothership appeared from the distance.
Aldred frowned as he walked to the railings. Activating his godly eyes, Aldred’s eyes zoomed in miles away and saw a pitch black mothership that he saw in his dream. On the hull of the ship carved the name of the ship; Dark Eater.
When his eyes went to the deck, he saw Simond was there staring at him. What he brought wasn’t just a fleet of ships, but an entire dark storm whenever he sailed.
It was exactly like his dream.
