Chapter 805 805 Arrival At The Resort

After Rosina's departure, it was not long before everyone that had been put into a daze by her song began to wake up.

To try and hide the fact that everyone had lost an entire day Marcus and Mrazivý had taken up the same position they had been in before Rosina's song.

Luckily while a few people seemed mildly confused, they quickly shook off their bafflement and continued on with their lives.

Many could tell that something was wrong, but it was not possible to pinpoint what, and their worries gradually faded from their minds.

While the ship had moved out on the open ocean it was difficult to tell that fact and as the time of day was about the same the sky, which was clear as the day before, looked almost exactly the same. Save for the slightly different placement of the stars and the cycles of the moons.

No one was able to immediately realize that they had lost a day of their lives and it would not be for some time until any of them realized that fact.

"It appears that no one has figured out that they have lost an entire day." Mrazivý said once they returned to their cabin.

"Yes, it seems so. No one was panicking and while there was a bit of confusion among the higher-level people, they could not pinpoint what is wrong and are shaking it of easily enough." Marcus said in response.

They had done a quick sweep of the ship after everyone regained consciousness to gauge everyone's responses, but no one seemed to understand exactly what had happened and believed it was still the same day.

As far as they could tell everything was exactly the same as yesterday and they had no idea that an entire day had gone by. Even though the ship had moved and was maintaining its course.

Nevertheless, the open ocean looked practically exactly the same and like the day before the sky was clear giving almost no indication that a day had passed.

The only thing that had noticeably changed was the slightly different placement of the stars in the sky, and the phases of the moons.

These were barely noticeable though and not a single person onboard spotted them.

It would not be until they arrived at their destination that anyone would even realize that something was amiss. And there would be enough doubt for anyone that did realize that they might simply think they were just misremembering things.

"Still, that was one terrifying power that Rosina has. She put everyone onboard to sleep with ease and made them lose an entire day and be known the wiser." Mrazivý said, shuddering slightly.

"Yes, it was quite the show of power. But you could do something similar Mraz. With your ice magic you could flash freeze everyone onboard and then thaw them later." Marcus pointed out.

Thinking about it Mrazivý realized that she could certainly do this. Though in that case everyone would likely remembering at least suddenly being frozen solid.

"What about you? Your phantom pressure could put everyone to sleep in practically an instant as well" Mrazivý said, making sure to bring him into this.

Nodding his head, Marcus acknowledged that he could easily force everyone onboard other than her and Recha to go unconscious with his phantom pressure. Though it would actually be easier to just kill them all then regulate the power to only knock them unconscious.

"I suppose that we are quite terrifying in our own rights." Marcus said, chuckling at the prospect.

Going along with him Mrazivý began laughing as well.

Once they had finished a long bath together, Marcus and Mrazivý settled into bed and decided to get some sleep.

They may have had plenty of stamina still, but they were a bit worn out mentally from Rosina's appearance and the performance she had put on.

…

Several days passed by after Rosina had left, and all of them were fairly uneventful.

During that time Marcus and Mrazivý had simply enjoyed what the ship had to offer.

There were plenty of events and activities to keep them entertained and while things were peaceful, they were never dull.

But finally, it was the last day of their voyage, and a bit after noon, the sight of their destination came into view.

Where they were heading was a famous resort location made up of a chain of four islands.

They were all relatively small, with the largest only being the size of Molokai, which is the fifth largest island in the Hawaiian Archipelago.

Still, despite not being a particularly large nation it was still recognized as an independent land by the adventurers guild and had a guild hall located on the main island.

There were apparently only a few thousand people that lived on the islands full-time, but all of them worked for the resort in some way or another. Whether they were part of the resort staff or hired adventurers.

"They certainly do have some impressive structures and naturally formations." Mrazivý said as she enhanced her eyesight.

Naturally they had read about the islands already but actually seeing them was still quite awe inspiring.

These islands were practically the embodiment of nature's beauty and offered many things that could not be done normally.

One of which was that it had a number of beaches that were completely safe.

The waters around the island were carefully monitored and a large wall was erected around it that kept out any creatures of a certain size.

Many guards and adventurers also monitored the area for dangerous beasts and monsters and made sure the waters around the resort were safe to swim in, which was quite a rarity.

In most places it was pretty much impossible to swim as bodies of waters that were of any substantial size were often filled with dangerous creatures that would easily be able to kill the average persona and drag their bodies into the murky depths.

"I cannot wait. I have not sum in the ocean since the day I died on Earth." Marcus said excitedly as he stared out at the white sand beaches and crystal-clear waters.

He felt that in a way he was finally going to get to finish the vacation that ended abruptly when he met an untimely end on Earth.

"I wonder if we might be able to find a shark to attack you while in the middle of a lightning storm?" Mrazivý said with a mischievous grin on her face.

Marcus had long ago told her about his last day on his former world, and she decided now was a good time to take a jab at him about it.

"Sure, I would be fine with having the chance to be in that situation again. This time I think I can take the shark and lighting cannot hurt me anyway." Marcus said, imagining how it would go down now.

He doubted that there were many sharks even in the oceans of Mirrion that were any threat to him as he was now. And natural lighting was not something for him to fear since he was a ghost now.

The two of them continued to joke around with each other for a while until the ship arrived at the wall that protected the islands.

It rose about twenty feet above the surface of the ocean and had a number of small hales in it that allowed for the water to still move in and out, but prevented any dangerous species of beast or monster from coming in.

The wall even apparently was even enchanted with the ability to detect if an entity higher than a certain level passed through and had it running at all times.

Hearing about this had made Marcus wonder how much mana the island must have been going through each day as this was an emergency enchantment that most cities had that they only activated when under siege since it was too costly to keep up all the time over such a large area.

"I suppose with exorbitant prices they charge for the ride here and the stay they can afford to purchase enough magic cores to run everything." Mrazivý said as Marcus posed his question to her.

Soon the large gate in the glistening white stone wall began to open up and the Ascension began making its way to dock where two other mithril ships that looked identical were docked.

Each one of these ships travels up and down a different coastline each year and collected those that had made a reservation with the resort.

Once the Ascension was docked, those of the highest status onboard prepared to disembark.

"I suppose we have probably a couple hours until it is our turn. Want to explore the area around the wall for a bit." Mrazivý suggested.

As they could fly there was no need for them to wait on the ship and do nothing, and instead, they could get an early start on their exploration of the area.

"That sounds good, but we need to make sure to get back in time for our own departure. If we everyone thinks we suddenly went missing, we are going to cause all manner of problems." Marcus said in response.

With that decision the two of them found a deserted area on the side of the ship facing the ocean and dropped down towards the water.

"Okay the coast is clear. Let's go." Marcus said once the guards he was watching were out of sight.

Swiftly the two of them flew low to the water and began making their way towards the ocean wall. Planning to explore the area for a bit before it was their formal time for them to disembark.
