Chapter 118: Chapter 91: Sea Mirage Red Crab (Seeking Recommendations)
“Group leader?”
“I, I know…”
Kristin felt helpless, but this was common knowledge on the Miracle Mainland; she had neither the ability nor the qualifications to change anything.
“You’re going to meet with the Evil Wolf?”
The Evil Wolf was another Great Pirate under Pirate King Ogysail, with strength comparable to Sigurian’s.
That’s why they were always at each other’s throats, two rivals who never saw eye to eye and had clashed often over the years.
“That guy has stolen my monopolized waters, running wild on my turf without any scruples!”
Sigurian, “An Ogysail, a western Pirate King, has his people coming to the eastern waters. What is he trying to do?”
“But he is one of Ogysail’s men.”
“Sowhat?”
Sigurian knew that Morgan was reluctant to provoke Ogysail.
Even as a Great Pirate, in the game of power played by the two Masters of Miracles, he was just a small piece on the board.
As for Kristin, she didn’t even count as a piece.
To put it bluntly, it was questionable whether the Immortal Hawk Duke even knew of Kristin’s existence.
“According to the Holy Covenant…”
“Don’t give me that about the Holy Covenant,” Sigurian said. “It might restrict your group leader, but it doesn’t restrict me!
“But if you go to war, it will turn the sea red with blood.
Although Kristin was a Miracle Citizen and naturally kind-hearted, she didn’t wish to harm civilians indiscriminately, even though they were mere common folk.
If they were enemies, Kristin would not show mercy, but these were clearly not soldiers.
“This time, I will represent Azure, supervising the negotiations.”
Kristin was well aware that if Evil Wolf and Sigurian went to war, not to mention the Miracle Armies on both sides, the fishermen and islands in this sea area would suffer severe losses.
“Suit yourself.”
Sigurian didn’t care; after all, Azure and Brilliant were the two overlords of these waters.
Morgan and Ogysail might be domineering, but they still had to watch the faces of these two ‘big brothers’ and act accordingly.
Many years ago, agreements of this sort were made between pirate kings and both Azure and Brilliant, so Kristin indeed had the right to supervise their negotiations to ensure they didn’t come to blows.
“Are you planning to come with me, or…”
Faced with Sigurian’s invitation, Kristin and Coral looked towards the pirate ship that seemed just to have been hauled out of the sea, both women revealing expressions of disgust.
Clearly, they had no desire to consort with such disgusting deep-sea creatures. “Skyriding Group!”
Under Kristin’s leadership, the Eagle Strikers donned their feathered capes, and amidst a flurry of feathers and storm, they transformed into giant eagles and soared into the sky.
The Sky Cavalry Commanders then mounted the Colorful Plume Eagles beside them and took to the air.
“Boss.”
After the Skyriding Group had left, a bulky pirate with a body full of fish gills asked, “Here…”
The fat fish-headed pirate indicated the drooling Fish Monster pirates around them, clearly trying to inform Sigurian that these guys were already starving for human flesh and fresh blood.
“Let them be.”
Sigurian leaped onto the pirate ship, leaving the island’s many corpses to the cursed pirates.
“Hahaha.”
“This one1 s for me, this one1 s for me!!”
A group of Fish Monster pirates surged out, while the pirates led by the fat-headed fish pirate, after a series of wriggles, reverted to human form.
They shook their heads and then began to climb up the ship’s side, following in Sigurian’s footsteps.
“It seems it’s just you guys now.”
The seasoned pirates from Sigurian hadn’t even disembarked, while those who had gone ashore were all new recruits newly recruited by Sigurian.
Unfortunately, only the pirates standing on the deck were of any use.
They weren’t affected by the bloodlust intrinsic to the Miracle Power, but instead, they had mastered this power and had become true Miracle Citizens.
“Gurgle, gurgle!”
As the words fell, a shadow emerged from the distant ocean like a small mountain rising from the water’s surface.
The sea monster somewhat resembled a hermit crab; below was a red crab, but it bore a rock-like seashell on its back, with a myriad of pores on the shell’s surface emitting billows of black smoke, resembling an underwater volcano.
“Boom!!”
An explosion thundered across the skies while fiery red flames streaked toward the distant shore like meteors.
Before those cursed pirate creatures could react, an endless sea of flames engulfed both the beach and the forest beyond.
“Bang!”
“Ahh!”
“Boss? Boss, save me!”
“Why…”
These fish monster pirates didn’t know that they were hardly considered regular Miracle Army, at best they were nothing but defective products of failed experiments.
Like the sea beasts beneath the sea, they were derivatives of Morgan’s Miracle Power.
However, compared to powerhouses like Sigurian, they were nothing. Morgan’s Miracle Power was very unique, almost everyone could access it. But those who didn’t adapt to it would be ‘ cursed’.
Of course, it wasn’t a real curse but rather an aberration in their bloodline. The power of the Miracle rejected them, turning them into monstrosities, neither human nor fish, and unless Morgan personally retracted the power, they were doomed to live their lives in this grotesque form.
But would Morgan do such a tedious thing?
The useful were his own people; the useless trash could be discarded. Why bother liberating them?
“I hate this island, Sea Mirage Red Crab,”
After Sigurian said these words, the sea monster known as the Sea Demon immediately understood.
On the seashell mountain, vents resembling volcanic craters slowly opened, emitting rolling black smoke, while in the darkness, fiery red lights were gathering.
“Boom boom boom boom…”
Dozens, hundreds of enormous fireballs were launched toward the island, and after nearly ten minutes of continuous explosions, the small island spanning about 3,000 plus meters was completely shattered…
“Commander.”
High in the sky, Coral asked Kristin beside her, “Is that Morgan’s Sea Mirage Red Crab? Such terrifying power.”
“Yes, if a few more of these monsters were to appear, sigh…”
Kristin felt a heartache, which was why she made every effort to stop the fight between Sigurian and the Evil Wolf. No matter who won or lost, the innocent people would suffer the consequences.
The existence of the Holy Covenant limited military strengths of nations.
It was still possible to continue training, but the powerhouses they developed couldn’t be incorporated into the military; they could only be used for homeland defense.
“I really wish there were someone on this ocean capable of restraining these lawless pirates.”
Azure and Brilliant were principalities, similar to nation-states, meaning they wouldn’t lay hands on civilians.
Pirates, on the other hand, did the exact opposite, preying on ordinary people. The Pirate Kings on the ocean were not so much Masters of Miracles as they were forces unwilling to join major nations, yet relying on arms and unity to navigate the peripheries of international politics.
“Is there really such a Master of Miracles out there?”
Coral was somewhat skeptical, and Kristin also felt she was wishing for too much, “It’s good enough they don’t collude with the wrong crowd; who would have time for that?”
