[Chapter 335 Comments.]
[DarkSlayer: Thank goodness there’s no something hidden from the pirate captain. Better make it fast to the island.]
[Keltic_Spirit: Wait a second, are you telling her to focus on being a shaman and give the other paths to her ghost friend? But it’s hard to apply now so surely not....]
…
The admiral immediately split their troops according to the original plan. In fact, due to Theo helping the battle, causing a massive panic in the enemy’s rank, they were able to retain most of their forces.
As a result, they could send more people to the tomb to have a higher chance to get the holy sword.
It didn’t take too long for them to go their own way. The admiral immediately led the ships to the tomb.
With the pirates gone, nothing hindered them anymore, allowing them to reach the tomb in twelve hours.
During that time, Theo made Lithia focus on comprehending what she had seen.
On the other hand, Haruka sealed herself in her room, thinking about Theo’s words. She was confused because Theo told her she had to remain as a shaman to make a breakthrough.
She could only think of it again and again.
Meanwhile, Theo was observing the ocean while opening the comment panel.
"Yep. We should reach the island in this chapter. You don’t have to worry about it. Just like you, I also want the story to progress as quickly as possible.
"As for her focusing on her path as a shaman, it’s a yes. However, I have never told her friend to get everything else.
"In fact, it’s not about her friend at all. The clue about her friend is in the end related to her ability, not her friend’s. And the method to improve lies in her identity as a shaman. That’s about it.
"Well, for the readers, I can give you one more clue. Why do you think I chose this mission? Why do I choose the sword king tomb? It’s to make Haruka evolve even further. I just hope she is able to realize it." Theo winked playfully.
Finally, after crossing the ocean for so long, they reached the island in the morning.
The island looked ordinary at first glance, but it was a vast island filled with green scenery.
However, if one took a closer look, they would realize what was wrong on this island.
In the center of the island, there was a huge underground tomb. It was supposed to be retaken by nature, but there was no nature around this place. In fact, there wasn’t a single life around the tomb.
The ground had turned dry and gray in color, and the trees had died with all the leaves already falling and getting decomposed. It was as if all the lives in this place had been sucked away.
Rotten corpses and skeletons were standing still as if they were conserving their energy.
This dead land had spread over twenty percent of the island. The death energy coming from this place made Theo frown.
As one would expect from a man of Gonzalez’s caliber, he was able to sense the problem on this island.
As a result, the moment they reached the island, the first thing he asked from the sailors was to make their camp and build a wall. There were some trees scattered around the area. While they were not enough for walls, they were able to create spikes and dug ditches as basic fortification.

They had to make sure the boats were safe.
"It seems that the journey won’t be as smooth, Teacher Theo," said Gonzalez before sighing.
"Indeed." Theo nodded. While Gonzalez was accompanied by his officers, Theo was accompanied by Haruka and Lithia.
They didn’t mind Haruka, but they were a bit skeptical to have a slave discussing a plan with them.
Theo glanced at Haruka. "What do you think?"
"I don’t really understand the danger, but if I take Teacher’s words, that means we will have to utilize a small elite unit to reach the tomb.
"We don’t know whether this necromancer is able to use new corpses or not, but it’s better to take precaution. At the same time, we have to reinforce this camp as well, making sure that it’s not getting destroyed while we’re retrieving the holy sword.
"Of course, the main problem will be the necromancer. We might be able to solve this problem if we just take down the necromancer, but I don’t think it will be that easy. The necromancer must be hiding in the deepest part of the tomb as he controls the undead.

"Once we enter his territory, he will definitely notice us and make an arrangement. Hence, we have to split our group into two." There was no need for them to think about the two groups. It was obvious the first group would be Theo’s while the admiral led the second group.
By diverting the necromancer’s attention, they could advance much quicker.
Theo smiled and turned to the admiral. "What do you think?"
Gonzalez nodded his head. "Let’s do it that way. Do you need any help, Mr. Theo? You can bring several knights if you want."
"No need." Theo shook his head. "It is the perfect time to teach my student, so the three of us will be enough."
If Theo said this before they even departed, the officers would definitely find Theo too arrogant. However, after seeing what he was capable of, the officers knew this was Theo’s confidence.
Theo simply stated, "All I wish for is one thing."
"What is it?"
"We will kill all the undead before reaching there. Is it possible for you?" Theo asked.
"Yes. We can crush the bodies with our strength. The necromancer must have bestowed his knight links to them, so they will be much stronger than any undead you have fought before."
"Don’t worry. We have fought high level zombies," Theo said jokingly.
"Hahaha." The admiral laughed. "When do we begin?"
Haruka carefully considered the current condition and said, "We’ll have to complete the basic fortification in this place first, so we’ll head to the tomb tomorrow."
