Chapter 145 Captain In The Ocean (2)

The octopus was massive, the exact size of their ship, or perhaps bigger if one considered the length of its tentacles, it was all black, with the only different part being its eyes: completely red, giving it a creepy look.

Despite the scary look of the octopus, no one shitted their pants. Everyone inside the ship was a hardened survivor of the dungeon and the tower's first level, too, so it would take more to make them tremble.

"Captain, what should we do?" one of the crew members yelled.

The danger had come sooner than Damian expected, so he was unprepared for it; he had no idea what abilities his crew members had!

Damian would ask about that, but the octopus showed up after less than five minutes. How could he have known that would happen?

So, if one did not understand his team's abilities and had no battle formation or plan, one must deal with the problem alone without waiting for the others to do something, and that was precisely what Damian did!

He waved his hand, and his Slime Ring activated, creating armor around his body, looking like an alive creature, moving on his clothes and skin.

Damian also created multiple weapons, those he controlled using his mind, varying from weapons to shields and anything else he had the mind power to control simultaneously.

It surprised everyone as they had no idea that was the power Damian had, as he was a figure surrounded by mystery. Damian did not want to show his flight ability as it was his life-saving ability, just like his invisibility cloak.

The weapons made by his Slime Ring were sharp, and when all the swords and spears flew toward the octopus, they slashed his skin, and black blood spurted from the wounds, brightening up the mood of Damian and all the other people inside the ship.

Damian was the happiest among them, which meant he wouldn't have to show all his trump cards precisely what he wanted.

Contrary to the crew's happiness, the octopus made loud sounds as the weapons pierced his body, attacking the ship using his tentacles immediately.

The size and the force behind the tentacles were not something easy to deal with, and once it went down, aimed at the ship, everyone was scared it could be the end!

Not that they would die, but the ship was crucial in that ocean, and if they lost that, it was over. So, despite Damian acting like he wanted to deal with everything alone, the others assembled and helped him block the attack!

One of them tossed a tiny seed from one of the various pouches he carried on his belt, and when he touched the grain after it was on the ground, a massive tree appeared, its branches moving toward the octopus tentacles!

It stopped the tentacle attack and locked it in place with the branches and roots enveloping it, making it unable to move an inch.

The octopus had many tentacles, and it did, but one less would make the fight a lot easier!

"Whoaa! Good job!"

The other crew members cheered the one who created the tree. Damian was impressed, too, but he had other things to do: kill the beast.

He merged all his slime weapons into one and used all he could of his Slime Ring to create a massive greatsword bigger than the ship! It was hard to control it, even with his impressive Telekineses mastery, so Damian was sweating behind the mask.

The others were first amazed by that tree that appeared on the ship, but once they saw that mighty black greatsword, everyone internally trembled with fear, but also happy that Damian was their captain, a friend and not a foe.

Using all of his strength, Damian controlled the greatsword, striking down from the sky, hitting the octopus on the head, not stopping at all, thus cutting the entire beast in half!

A gross scene with black blood everywhere, but that was not enough to take away the relief everyone felt after the beast died.

"We did it!" one crew member said.

"More like our captain and the tree guy did it," another one said.

The guy who created a massive tree out of a tiny seed in seconds got some recognition, but there was no denying that everyone was scared of Damian. He became even more mysterious than he already was.

"What are you all looking at? Let's move this ship! Standing still will only bring us more dangers!" Damian yelled to his crew, waking everyone up from their daydreams.

Different from before, when a few still had thoughts about questioning Damian being the ship's captain, no one had it after the fight. He had shown his strength, but more importantly than that, he saved the life of everyone there, the ship included.

So everyone returned to their task, taking care of the ship's sail and ensuring it ran nicely on that sea. Damian was behind the wheel, controlling the direction of the ship.

"Anyone in this ship has a decent eye-sight? Like something to do with your ability or something? We need to see land from afar!" Damian said.

One of them, a short man with a white eye, walked forward, "I do."

Damian was puzzled by it, as the white eye usually meant someone was blind but still trusted the man, "Go up there and warn us if you see anything important, like land, other ships, or even beast movements."

The man nodded and then went up the ship's mast.

It looked calmer after the fight against the octopus. However, Damian was still on high alert, driving the ship and looking at the water, sensing any strange movement in the surrounding water.

Nothing happened during the next fifty minutes! Damian was starting to believe the time spent inside each tower level would increase, or maybe it was just that specific level.

Anyway, the man with the white eye responsible for the lookout saw something. Damian hoped it would be land, but things did not work his way.

"A ship! I see a ship!"
