Chapter 1608 Captive
Silent curses echoed through the Raven ship hall when the realization finally dawned upon them. While they didn’t dare cuss out loud, the looks on their faces as they looked at each other spoke volumes.

Cyrus felt extremely irritated, but he couldn’t bring himself to curse the name of the Pirate King.
He ordered everyone to search the wreckage of the ship after capturing the two, and they ultimately found nothing of value. It finally became clear to him; the Pirate King’s actual target was the woman they almost killed, Tessa Karat.
The Raven’s master could no longer maintain his usual calm. His mind was currently in utter turmoil trying to figure out what to do next, and it appeared that each step from here would endanger the faction’s future, no matter which one he took.
In the end, he helplessly heaved a sigh before walking toward the captive woman and full-moon magus.
“Tell me, what were you doing there? Who were you waiting for?”
Terra’s eyes were filled with anger as she glared daggers at Cyrus, but she still responded, “Aren’t you the ones who owe us an explanation? What is the Raven faction doing attacking us!?”
Cyrus briefly hesitated, but it only lasted a moment when his eyes met the woman’s sharp glare.
The man let out another deep sigh. The Pirate King was most likely planning to pin all the blame on them. Either way, there was no way for them to get out of the situation completely safe, so he might as well choose the path that would be the least harmful to them.
“It’s the Pirate King… He wanted us to raid this ship, we had no idea that…” Cyrus’s brows furrowed as he thought about their predicament again.
Meanwhile, the other party’s anger turned into realization, and her expression turned dark as she thought of a certain possibility.
“We came to meet an envoy from Turtle Rock. One send by Gaira, I didn’t think he would send your faction, and to actually attack us, he really has gone crazy!!”
The woman explained that she came as an official envoy of Golden City. As a result, it wouldn’t take the people of Golden City long to realize if she went missing.
From her words, it was painfully obvious that the Pirate King wanted to use the Raven faction as a scapegoat if they couldn’t complete the task properly. On the other hand, the Raven faction would forever be at the Pirate King’s beck and call if they succeeded in killing her.
It appeared that the Pirate King never intended to let the Raven faction go.
Seeing the Raven’s expression, Tessa’s attitude toward them loosened a bit.
“I suggest that you release us, take us back to Golden City and report what just happened. At the very least, I will make sure that your sentence will be greatly reduced,”
Hearing her mention their sentence, Magus Hellast was affected by her words and became anxious and tend to agreed on such suggestion.
Unfortunately for her, Cyrus Raven shook his head.
The Raven faction was already too deeply involved with the Pirate King. Having their involvement revealed would spell the end of their faction.
As the master of the faction, there was no way Cyrus would allow that to happen. Under Tessa’s slightly impatient gaze, he grabbed the luxurious sword belonging to the Karat full-moon magus and decisively used it to slash upon the captured long haired magus without even have a chance to react.
SPLAATTT!!
Such magnificent sword used to kill its own owner, and when the spirit soul came out, Cyrus quickly grab it on his palm and with a spark of lightning it was destroyed.
The sudden turn of events caused Tessa’s body to jolt in shock.
“YOUU!! You are out of your mind!! You, all of you will pay for this!!” the young woman furiously shouted.
Even Emery was taken aback, and such a scene made him feel an urge to take action. However, there was not much he could do at the moment. They were still in flying in space, and saving her would only mean the death of him.
Just as the magus pointed the sword at Tessa’s neck, something within Emery prompted him to step up.
“Master Cyrus, please wait.”
Cyrus subconsciously frowned when he heard those words, but he still gave Emery a chance to speak. After all, if it weren’t for him previously stopping them, they wouldn’t have known that they proved her worth.
Furthermore, Emery convinced him that the woman might be a were dancing right in the palm of the Pirate King’s hand.
Emery calmly explained how the woman was worth a lot to the pirates, and suggested that they keep her captive first until she proved her worth.
Furthermore, Emery convinced him that the woman might be a magus, but she wont be a difficult prisoner to keep.
Cyrus was convinced after thinking the matter over for a few moments and Emery secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but when he turned his head to the person he just saved, he was met with bloodshot eyes full of killing intent.
The woman didn’t get that he was trying to save her.
Emery’s next priority was to find a way out of this situation. If he failed, not only would he not be able to gain proof of Raven’s crime, but he might even get implicated in this whole problem.
As he racked his mind for a way and his gaze shifted to the view outside, Emery found that they didn’t seem to be heading back to the pirate base. Instead, they were heading back to Raven’s home planet.
Seeing the blue planet getting closer to them, Emery finally thought of an idea:
Save the Karat lady before they reach the faction base.
Thus, the moment the ship began to tremble as it entered the planet’s atmosphere, Emery swiftly took out two [Dragon Flame Bomb] and threw them at the ship door. 𝗈𝗏𝑙xt.𝒸𝑂𝑚
KABOOOMM!!!
The unexpected explosion shocked everyone on board. The ship shook heavily, and the explosion left a hole in the ship. Coupled with the fact that it was currently descending at high speed, everyone and everything inside was sucked out of the hole.
During this time, Emery had already grabbed the woman in captivity and was the first to fly out. Emery quickly used his [Light Wings] and shifted the direction of their fall as much as he could, causing them to descend in a trajectory different from the falling ship.
As they were rapidly falling toward the blue planet, Emery hoped that they would fall close to his own home, the Terra Palace.
