Chapter 2684 Arriving at Pirate Island
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
After the previous situation of the absorption of the Nautilus' Compass, followed by the escape of the Supremes sensed by Minos, the group continued onwards for another few months of travel.That day, Minos had awakened the corpses of the previous pirate crew and talked about what had happened and the journey to their pirate island.
Wenni and Walkas naturally had many questions about what had happened. But with the explanation that he was compatible with the item and that it had integrated into his body, Minos had managed to silence the doubts about the two corpses.
He had told them that from then on he could use the ability to sail safely and so he was willing to go to their group's pirate island.
As Minos' strengthening and the subsequent demonstration that he could indeed use the special features of the legendary item was very good for both of them, they collaborated without difficulty. Initially, Walkas talked to Diret and understood their position, before showing Minos the way to the pirate island.
The man didn't invest too much in describing the phenomena that could force the group to deviate from their path. He told Minos to work with the Diret to circumvent any difficulties on the journey ahead and, if very necessary, to wake him up so that he could investigate more complex changes of the route.
Wenni and Walkas still didn't have lengthy life expectancies, so for the time being, they couldn't waste too much time traveling awake. Apart from the most important conversations, they would have to hibernate for most of the journey to their island, 19 months away from the previous position they were in on the day the Nautilus' Compass was absorbed.
Since then, six months have passed, months that have been peaceful for the group, with Minos using his new abilities to great effect, avoiding trouble and even taking advantage of some opportunities.
But as they sailed towards the pirate island positioned in the middle reaches of the Violent Sea between Oqia and Uzira, news of the incident months ago was already spreading through the depths of this sea!
...
In a super coral, in an uncertain location in the Violent Sea, a serpent over 100 meters long, 15 meters in diameter, completely gray, was curled up on itself, with its eyes closed.
In this corner of the great coral reef, where millions of living marine beings of different races lived, the serpent was standing still as if it were a statue, in an area of little movement, where powerful creatures kept watch.
Everyone nearby knew to respect and fear this existence. But even so, a huge shark approached the area, clearly interested in getting close to the strongest existence in the Zocarro seas.
"You there, stop!" Said one watchman on guard, swimming towards where the level 120 Supreme was coming from.
The moment it heard the warning of a large level 122 octopus, the level 120 shark slowed down to a complete stop.
"Protectors of the Sea and of Zocarro, this one you speak of is Corus, a member of the Voidfins Tribe," said the creature in a respectful tone. "I am here to bring you news of the Nautilus' Compass!"
The moment these words were spoken, a super-powerful spiritual pulse erupted from the gray serpent's head, as its grandiose eyelids moved, revealing its completely golden eyes.
The level 124 creature awoke upon hearing such news, not needing to be alerted directly for its interest to turn to that item.
"Did you say Nautilus' Compass?" it asked, even without opening its big mouth.
Contrary to what 99% of the beings in this sea believed, the Sea Serpent knew what this artifact actually was, having belonged in the distant past to an acquaintance of its, who lost out in the dispute over the inheritance of a True Celestial.
After almost a million years searching for the Nautilus Compass, the Sea Serpent had almost got that part of a True Celestial's body 90,000 years ago. But after so many millennia with no answers about the majestic item, it heard an update.
"Yes, Sea Serpent," the shark of the Voidfin race said with ten times more reverence as it looked at such a creature.
Corus didn't even try to negotiate. It directly gave the Sea Serpent what it wanted. "I felt the fluctuation of the Nautilus' Compass in the Eclipse Abyss area, close to my tribe. But strangely, soon after the item's signal appeared, it disappeared, along with any trail that might have led me to it."
"Oh?" The Sea Serpent narrowed its big eyes.
"If that's true, then could someone have absorbed it?" the strongest guardian in that area, a level 123 being, asked.
"It could have happened. But if he's still in that sea, I'll find him!" said the Sea Serpent as it moved, in an instant crossing the entire distance between it and Corus.
"You're coming with me, Voidfin. Take me to the area where you sensed it," said the strongest creature in these seas, the closest of all the Zocarro's seas to the Celestial stage.
Corus moved to lead the way to the place where everything had happened.
Meanwhile, no one doubted it was telling the truth. High-level beasts like these creatures could sense the truth in the words of inferior beings easily.
With the departure of the Sea Serpent and Corus, the guardians stayed behind full of thoughts about the future. If their master absorbed one more body part from a True Celestial, it would become a Celestial!
...
A few more months passed and, after a series of challenges, detours, and chances of fate, the crew of Minos reached their third year of travel across the mighty Violent Sea.
In particular, late that afternoon, under the pink sky of Zocarro, the crew spotted the island of Walkas' pirated crew, while this corpse and his woman were watching the ship dock in a natural harbor in the area.
Seeing this place up close, the two clenched their fists as many memories flooded their hearts. After a long time, after their own deaths, they returned to the safe harbor they had once called home.
.
When their ship came to a complete stop, Walkas said to Minos, "Here is the next level for part of your group. In this place, we can rest from the journey here and prepare for the last leg. Not even the Sea Serpent would find us here, even if it was looking for us!"
