Chapter 45 The Prince Is Capable

He had somehow managed to extend his ability to his tamed beast!!

What kind of level does one need to be at to be able to use such a technique extensively and perform such a feat?

Though it could be that he was using a very rare water technique that was probably unheard of. But still…

A Tiger Whale with the ability to use some kind of water magic, together with a mysterious man that was somehow able to make such a thing happen.

I couldn't help but swallow my saliva back down as the beast got nearer and nearer

I need to tell the Captain.

"CAPTAIN!!"

Jumping down from the platform I was standing on, I immediately ran up the stairs to the upper deck to get to him.

And there he was calmly trying to steer the ship to safety even after noticing that we are being under attack by an unknown foe.

"CAPTAIN"

"What did you see?" Captain Crimson eye replied.

"I…"

I shook my head as I couldn't find the right words to explain the situation to him.

Grabbing hold of the telescope and giving it to him, I said "Why don't you take a look yourself".

He raised a brow at me as he noticed my weird demeanour. However, he took the telescope and looked in the direction I had pointed out for him while he steered the ship with his other hand.

…...........

"Is this a joke or some kind of trick?" Captain Crimson eye said as he looked at the same peculiar scene that Annabelle had seen.

A man riding on a Tiger whale. Both of which were using some kind of water magic that he did not know about.

Of course, he had seen when 'Mother Andiara's' legs were cut off, so he had immediately come to the conclusion that Prince Wyatt wasn't alone, and that they were under attack by someone else who had come to rescue them.

But seeing who it was, Captain Crimson eye couldn't help but frown as he didn't understand what he was looking at even though it was right there in front of him.

Sure, he knew that the world of ascendants had many strange techniques and magical abilities, but according to his knowledge, there wea nothing stranger than the image he was looking at currently.

"By the looks of it, it seems that he is heading towards your summon and will arrive in a few minutes" Captain Crimson eye said as he handed the telescope back to Annabelle "Thankfully, he has given us enough time to find a way to take care of him".

Annabelle nodded her head and replied "Do you have a plan, Captain?".

"No, unfortunately, I don't" Captain Crimson eye shook his head as he replied.

"In fact, how do you plan for something like this?" He asked, directing his question to Annabelle.

Annabelle shook her head, responding with a non-verbal response.

Smirking at her reply, Captain Crimson eye looked at the wide open sea in front of him and said "I don't need a plan. The moment he tries to get anywhere close to our ship, I will deal with him. He might be strong and possess a few tricks up his sleeves, but I am an ascendant too. I will show him that there are more tricks hidden beneath the sea"

"For now, I want you to try and attack him. Do want ever it takes to draw his attention towards us".

"And what if he is much stronger than we thought he was?" Annabelle said as she thought that her Captain's plan might be a little too risky.

"I doubt that" Captain Crimson eye said as he recognised the clothing he had seen on the man through the telescope.

It was a worn-out noble attire that was covered with a few patches around it.

At first, he doubted why a noble would be at the edge of the ocean but, the moment that question struck him, he instantly arrived at this answer.

He wasn't stupid.

Right now, they are trying to stop the ship of a banished Prince from illegally trespassing through their sea without paying the necessary dues.

And suddenly, a man in noble attire comes out of nowhere and starts attacking them to free the captured ship.

He wouldn't have become the Captain of the Cryptic sea if he was stupid enough not to notice the obvious connections.

Prince Wyatt!!

It was clear that the man riding on the 'Tiger whale' was Prince Wyatt.

But something was wrong!!

Didn't the rumours say that he was a useless Prince, inept and unable to do anything worthwhile?

An eagle whose wings have been clipped and has fallen from the sky, crashing headfirst into the troubled waters of the ocean and left there to rot until his definitive end.

"Hahaahaha!!" Captain Crimson eye laughed out loud, his action temporary giving Annabelle a jump scare as she waited for him to finish his sentence instead of suddenly laughing out loud.

'I guess the rumours were wrong then' He thought 'I guess flying up so high in the sky and trying one's best to keep the same momentum can be a little tiring'

The eagle had fallen from the sky and into this forsaken ocean keeping itself below the gazes of those who previously look up to it.

Captain Crimson eye felt his blood pumped through his body as an enticing wave of excitement filled his every being.

He no longer saw Prince Wyatt as the depiction of 'The fall from grace to grass'. Instead what he saw right now was 'A wolf hiding in sheep's clothing'.

A man hiding his talons behind the curtains of his fake foolery and the rumour of his outstretched incapabilities.

'Haaa!!... I almost fell for it too'.

"Captain" Annabelle called out to her Captian hesitantly as she looked at his gaze look that seemed as though he was deep in thought.

She wouldn't have interrupted him, but while the few seconds they have been talking had gone by, the Tiger Whale had launched another attack which was enough to cut down 'Mother Andiara's' hands and released the ship from her grasp.

"Annabelle" Captain Crimson eye turned to look at his subordinate with a deep wide smile on his face.

"Yes, Captain" Annabelle felt her mouth go dry as she saw the smile and immediately felt her body turn cold.

His bloodlust was leaking, and he didn't even notice!!

"Forget about getting back the ship. I want you to tell 'Mother Andiaira' to focus on attacking that man. And while you are at it, focus all the spells you have on him. Make sure you drive him into a corner until he realizes that the only way out of here is for either one of us to be buried under this sea".

Although she was sceptical about his decision, she didn't dare talk back because she had realised that he had just given her a command. An order, and not just a suggestion on how she should deal with the newcomer.

Though she didn't want to face whoever was able to make a 'Tiger whale' submit to his will and become his tamed beast, she couldn't disobey her Captain.

If her Captain wanted her to use all her spells and drive the strange man into a corner, then so be it. Besides, her Captain was stronger and more intricate than her, so it might be that he had his plans.

Nodding her head in understanding, Annabelle walked down the stairs and immediately went back to her previous position.

Seeing that her summon was still trying to get back the ship that she had lost hold of, she gave her a new command to attack the man riding on the Tiger Whale.

Witnessing as 'Mother Andiaira' was now attacking and blocking the attacks of the Tiger whale and its Tamer, Annabelle closed her eyes as she stretched out her hands to release another one of her spells

Annabelle was a Rank 3, 2nd circle Mage Ascendant who had chosen her main path as a summoner.

And although had a lot of minor spirits that she could use at her disposal, right now, summoning them all would be useless as they were no way that they could hold out against the strange man and his tamed beast.

"I respectfully speak to you, the warring woman of water and blood. Seeping crest of lunacy and hatred. Assemble, daughter of Mother Andiara -My name is Keia".

But still, that didn't mean that she hasn't formed any contract with higher-level spirits that would pose a threat and push the man into a corner.

Immediately after she finished her incarnation, bright blue specks of light escaped her body and fell towards the ocean.

The spirit formed the same way 'Mother Andiara' had formed, rising from the ocean as though a beast had awoken from its long-lasting slumber.

Keia was about 110 meters tall, which was ten meters shorter than 'Mother Andiara', a woman with long waving black hair, mix with some strands of hair that looked as though it was made out of strings of water, with two large piercings at her left ear while a bloody cross-shaped paint tattoo was drawn across her face.
