Cole watched as the Island of Irgis vanished from sight, his experiences there have been unique to say the least. To see something so nerve wracking as peronico's forge and Garudon's prison. All of these things horrifying even to him a man that was so bloody in his slaughter through the floors, he might as well be sweating blood everywhere he goes.
But still there was such a stark contrast between the volcano, the dragons palace, the city itself and hell that lay underneath the island. It was incredibly deceptive if he had to be honest and quite worrying too, it made Cole realize that evil came in all kinds of forms, and the most dangerous of them is always presented in a neat little bow.
Cope shifted his gaze back to the map that was in front of him, or rather as they say around here a nautical chart. One that was quite expensive and quite magical too. Apparently the chart was so legendary that the bloody ship has not stopped gushing about it since they left Irgis.
"That's Poseidon's charts! The legendary map the god used to sail any sea of the universe. It shows all of the secrets and most importantly the weather patterns and monster population at any given location on whatever sea the chart is in. Where did you get it from? Please you have to tell me"
Annoyance was the least of what Cole was feeling right now. He ignored the ship as he took a closer look on the chart. They were just about to get out of Garudon's territory. But beyond that was the territory of the merfolk, with their king Boriton being one of the ascendants that Cole would have to slay.
Their kingdom was nestled among an under water mountain range. The path there, even one where they could get there without being noticed was laid out on the chart. So finding their way through should not be too hard for them, however Cole had the very distinct problem of not being able to breathe underwater. He could hold his breath for a significant amount of time. But not long enough that he could hunt a merman king or something.
"Say Ravena do you have any idea what's the best way to hunt down and kill a mermaid in the Gold rank." Cole asked the ship, putting an end to her tirade. The ship turned her head, literally, the jade carving on the ship could move just as easily as if it was a real body.
"the small fish men? Please that easy, a good combination of area locking skills and sound attacks would destabilized them long enough for you to get them into a net. They're really fast swimmers so you have to get the timing right, perhaps you can even lure them to the surface where you can spring a trap for them, but last I heard that method no longer works, they're a lot smarter now than before.
But that's the gist of it. Sound attacks and immobilization, maybe shoot them with a tranquilizer harpoon or one with a line and have them drag themselves till they get tired. Basic fisherman tactics work for basic fish men. Anything else you would like to know new temporary might become permanent master?"
Cole rolled his eyes at the ship. "Do you have any of those weapons you mentioned?" he asked as he looked over the side of the ship, watching as it coasted through the waves like a knife through butter, moving with little to almost no resistance from the water.
"Nope."
"The You're useless to me."
"Hey!"
But Cole had stopped listening by this point as he tried to come up with a plan, and perhaps he already had one. With what Ravena had explained he at least knew what he needed to do, and it was to his great luck that he at least had an attack that could pass for a sound attack, or it probably was if you looked at it from another angle.
And beyond just that, he could just make things go boom under the ocean, that was enough to release the necessary sound waves required to slow down the Mer-King. Cole suspected he was probably the one with the Crashing waves gold core, Cole could not wait to see what kind of skill; he would end up getting, cause hen had absolutely no intention of handing ultimate power to Garudon.
With that out of the way, it would take some time before they get to their destination. According to both Ravena and the chart, it would take them at least three hours, where as a normal ship would have taken two days to get to the location. So perhaps this was just as good a time to log off and see what the real world was up to, he needed updates from Tehila anyways.
"Ravena I have to go for a second, I need to see how things are back in my reality. Stay the course, and should any problem arise, you have free reign to turn it to rubble… assuming of course that you're capable enough to do so. See you soon." Cole said to the ship as he took one last look around him, ignoring their cries of indignation from the ship as he went into the Captain's Cabin and initiated the log off.
But before he could log off, he felt a presence in his mind. A small amount of pressure as all of a sudden, Ravena's voice was heard.
"i wish there was words to say but perhaps it's better if I'm a little honest with you. I am grateful you brought me out of the awful place, I may be a treasured ship, but I'm the least loved out of all my master's treasures. A dragon ship, I'm supposed to be a unique existence but my defenses, and attacks all pale in comparison to what the other ships can do. All I have is my speed, but you- what you have planned is suicide.
But if you pull it off that means freedom for me, and it is a chance you're willing to take. I am grateful and will try my best and hardest to make sure you achieve all your goals...good luck.
