"If that is the case then, I need to show the Captain that even if he is a Prince, he is still nothing but an ordinary man" Stretching her hands as she kept them sideways, Annabelle looked at the fleeing ship and spoke with a smile.

Soon, bright blue specks of light began to fall from her hands.

"Sprinkled from the top to the depths of the ocean, the sound of the warring winds fills her heart with vengeance. Let thy hands place judgment on those who dare to trespass on your waters".

An invisible wind blew around Annabelle. And immediately after she finished reciting the incantation for her spell, the water below her began to take shape as though a beast below it has been awakened from its deep slumber.

[ Summoning magic: Mother Andiara ]

The shape of the water became taller and more defined and didn't stop growing until it got to the height of 120 feet.

The shape of the water was a woman with long braided hair that reach below her waist with what seemed to be tribal attire that covered up part of her body, leaving only her stomach and parts of her legs open.

And like her whole body, her clothes too were made of water so it was a little hard to discern the details on them.

"As always 'Mother Andiara', I want you to bring that fleeing ship back to me" Immediately Annabelle's words fell, her summon ran on the sea in the opposite direction the same way a human ran on the earth.

"BOOOM!! SPLAASSSHHH!!".

Looking at her summon who was making her way towards Prince Wyatt's ship, the smile on her face grew wider.

"Heh!! They made have soiled up their pants already while being chased down by Mother Andiara"

…...

"Damn it!! Damn it!!!"

Looking at the huge summon chasing their ship through the sea, Clara couldn't help but curse out loud in frustration.

How the hell did she get caught up in this situation?

At first, it was Prince Wyatt, now it was Captain Crimson eye -well known for being the most territorial pirate in the whole of the 'Depth of Levethian'.

Although he was also one of the most reasonable, but that was only if he wasn't chasing you with a giant summon at your back.

"RELEASE THE REMAINING SAILS" Shouting as she gritted her teeth in frustration, Clara made sure that both her crew member and Prince Wyatt's sea slaves could hear her words.

Her ship was already destroyed together with some of her crew members, and no matter how hard Knight Camille had assured her that she wasn't a prisoner on their ship, the defeat she had experienced was still a hard pill to swallow.

Still, she would have waited until she got off this ship to carry out all the grievances she held in her heart but after hearing and confirming Prince Wyatt's death, she decided to start hatching her plans instead of waiting.

And what better way to start than replace her ship with that of Prince Wyatt's own!

From what she had heard from her father, this ship alone is worth over five normal pirate ships. Though even if it was partly broken, she was sure that the price was enough to get her a much better ship than the one she had before.

So after they had unknowingly arrived on the Cryptic sea, she told Knight Camille everything the knight needed to know about the sea and its owner -Captain Crimson eye.

Of course, even though she said all she knew about the Captain, she left out some important details.

And all of it was because she saw this as a chance to get knight Camille off the ship and flee with it. According to the Pirate code, all her actions were justified since Prince Wyatt was dead.

But knowing Knight Camille, she doubted if the woman would see it that way, after all, she had left her stranded on an unfamiliar ship and was now making away with her only means of getting back home.

Regardless, during her planning, she had thought that taking over the ship would be difficult and she would have to permanently silence those who disagree with her command.

So the instant, Knight Camille stepped out of the ship, she armed her remaining crew members with whatever weapons they could get their hands on and urged them to prepare for the upcoming carnage.

But surprisingly, when she had taken charge and kept the ship under her command, none of them retaliated.

They all nodded their heads as though they had accepted their new faith.

Who would have guessed that it was an easy task to take over the ship of the First Prince for herself?

It seems that Prince Wyatt was a crummier Pirate than he was a Prince for his crewmen to suddenly submit to another Pirate without anyone retaliating.

Sea slaves or not, they should have at least bear some level of dignity!

But it seems that the fear of death was enough to make them bow their heads.

Though she was still suspicious and wanted to make an example out of one of them, but now, seeing how they were working their bones off just to escape the summon tailing behind them, she couldn't help but sigh as her worry has been for nought.

Still, those worries had been reincarnated when she saw that she couldn't escape from the grasp of the summon.

With just a few steps, the summon was already a few meters away from them.

"Damn it!!"

If only she was stronger, she would have dealt with the summon effortlessly and get away easily. But now, she was weak. And if she was captured, she would have been transferred from the prisoner of one Captain to another.

And even though her father wouldn't waste any time in saving her when he gets hears of her crisis, that didn't mean that her reputation across the ocean would get better.

Instead, it would drop to the ground like a boulder plummeting down towards the bottom of the sea.

"BANG!! CRASSHH!!!"

And just when she thought that they were gaining momentum, their ship was hit by a cannon.

"SHHIIITTT!!"

knowing that she had just been hit by one of Captain Crimson eye's smaller fleet that usually surveys the area and stops any trespassers from getting through their sea, she couldn't but curse out loud when she saw that the damage had also affected her crew members, causing some of them to let go of post.

An action which made her temporarily lose control of the ship as she tried to put it back on course.

Her efforts were extraordinary for even a Pirate, but…..

"CRASSHHH!" "SPLAAASSSH!!!"

It was already too late.

The summon grasped the ship tightly with a single hand and raised it high up to the sky until it was at the level of her eyes.

Seeing the clouds that were above and were now closer to her than ever, Clara couldn't help but curse her luck once more as the summon turned around and walked back in the direction of Captain Crimson eye ship.

Of course, she knew that the Captain wouldn't dare harm her as her father was several ranks higher than his, but that still doesn't stop him from humiliating her and tarnishing her reputation.

She could break the rules with only a few slaps on her wrist, but that still doesn't change the fact that she had just jumped from one pot of boiling water to another.

Sitting down on the wooden floorboard of the ship while using the tip of the helm to support her head, the only thing Clara could hear at the moment was the huge clashing and lashing of the waves down below together with the sudden stillness on the ship.

It seems that they had all given up!!

It's not like she blamed them though. After all, none of them had the power to fight against an ascendant, so it wasn't like they could resist the power of one either.

…....

Staying far away from where the Choas ensue, I couldn't help but suck in a cold long breath as I looked at the gigantic humanoid thing walking on the ocean like a woman who was casually making her through the park.

Is this magic?

If so, was there a possibility that I could also perform such a feat?

Sure, I had a man-eating whale that was several times stronger than me under my command, but this...

This was entirely on a whole other realm that was based on the application of magic.

Something which I was still trying to grasp myself to avoid hurting my body in the process.

With the wind in my face. The soft crashing of water as it filled my ears. Every other thing seemed meaningless as I stared at the water-carved gigantic humanoid who was holding my ship in her hands.

Nevertheless, I couldn't help but swear out loud in frustration.
