Chapter 915 Cap 913: A Battle Along The Way
Pov of a Merchant:
I was reading his orders from our current client while licking my lips with a smile, just this order equals 6 months profit.
“What a wonderful war… haha hahahaha…” (I)
I was overjoyed with the profits, but we couldn’t forget the risks, so I took the map to see the best route for me to send my merchandise, with something of such high value I have to be careful how I ship it, I might have to ship it myself take along.
Looks like a supply troop will meet us halfway there, so there should be other Merchants along, I’ll have to go myself to make sure none of them sabotage me and thieves steal.
I have to prepare crates with expansion magic, this will prevent storage items from being used to store my goods, and this prevents someone stealing from me without me noticing, now I have to think about the escort to take me to the temporary supply camp point.

Pov Zenos:
The Floating Ship was still very busy, especially when it almost hit an invisible mountain, yes the whole mountain was invisible hidden by a dense fog, there was also an attack of some monsters, but they were weak monsters that died being devoured by Orion who is keeping an eye on the surroundings.
It’s been 3 days and we’ve covered a long distance, the ship’s efficiency has improved, but Nicole doesn’t stop working, she was irritated today that she passed out from exhaustion and slept for more than 6 hours wasting her time from work, she kept complaining about the curse they put on his beautiful robot body that he now has to sleep and eat.
“There is still a 29% wastage of energy across the frontal region, the sails are releasing energy instead of harvesting it a few times a day and the deepest part of the Ship has been taken over by miasma.” (Nicole)
“You must concentrate on the miasma, the rest can wait.” (I)
“Vanessa went to purify the area, after that it will be easier to identify the source if it continues, but for now I am focusing on the candle, this is a type of magic technology that I have never used, now I am doing it on a large scale, but if it continues like this it may explode.” (Nicole)
“If it releases energy at the same time as it’s absolutely energy it can overload causing an explosion whose force we wouldn’t be able to predict.” (Nicole)
“Fix this ASAP.” (I)
“I’m trying, as we speak I’m looking at all the data I’ve collected so far trying to see if there’s a clue to this.” (Nicole)
I left Nicole alone with her work, I’m not good with that stuff, come to think of it I didn’t study almost anything about magical technology or Magical Engineering as they call it here.
I’m running into érica along the way, she smiles at me before picking me up in her arms and stealing kisses from me.
“It’s only been an hour since we woke up, do you really need this now? We’re halfway down the hall.” (I)
“You’re lucky we’re in the hallway, I met the Priestess of Pleasure earlier today and had a nice chat with her.” (érica)
“There are many things I want to test…” (érica)
BOOMMMM!!!
Crack! CRACK!
Suddenly the Ship rocks and cracking sounds begin to sound érica trips and crushes me against the ground, this does not hurt me with the resistance of my body, but at least it served to cushion her fall.
“We will!” (I)
“[Attention! Attention! We are under attack! I repeat, we are under attack!]” (Nicole)
“[All non-combatants go to the safe area! Nix, be in charge of the safe area until your presence is needed elsewhere.]” (Nicole)
“(Master, should I follow Nicole’s instructions?)” (Nix)
“(Yes, the safe area she talks about must be the Dungeon, be prepared to close the Dungeon Gate once everyone has entered.)” (I)
“(Yes.)” (Nix)
Nicole’s voice started to sound from certain crystals that are stuck in the corners of the walls, her instructions were safety warnings for the workers who were doing maintenance on the Ship, I’m glad she didn’t mention the Dungeon while the Hero is on our Ship.
Boommm!!!
Another explosion happened, but this time there was no cracking noise, I was running carrying érica in my arms, my speed is far above her speed, with that I was able to reach the deck where others were already present and others were arriving including the Hero’s group.
“< Reflector Magic Barrier >” (Irina)
“< Demon Curse of Retribution >” (Lilith)
As soon as I arrive I see Irina in the middle of a layered magic circle holding a magic crystal in her hands, then a giant barrier that seems to be made of mirrors appears around the entire Floating Ship.
Soon after Lilith throws a barrel of blood in the air which Irius cuts in half spilling all the blood Lilith controls creating a magic circle that fills with Demonic energy when she drips her own blood, then Irina’s mirrored barrier around the Floating Ship creates a reddish hue with a purple glow.
Still not understanding what was happening, I soon see a large number of spells and a thick beam of energy hit the barrier that belongs to the glow quickly, but luckily it didn’t break, so most of the attacks seem to be absorbed by the barrier before returning through the same way they came from, but it doesn’t seem to have worked with the great beam of white energy as before.
I look at the direction these reflected attacks are coming from and I see 3 white Floating Ships surrounded by light, the middle Floating Ship was a little bigger than the other two and had golden details, looking closer at it I noticed a cannon in front of the m Ship.
“Church of Light!? How did they get here? We’re within the borders of a Kingdom that’s staying Neutral, aren’t we?” (I) .𝒄𝙤𝙢
I was taken aback by the completely unexpected attack, but I reacted quickly knowing I didn’t have time to learn anything else right now.
“< Family Summoning: Ghost Crows >” (I)
I run to Nicole as I pull out a magic crystal made from my crystallized blood.
“Analyze the enemies, leave one of the crows with you.” (I)
I spread my wings and go outside while preparing a big attack at the same time as the Ghost Crows enter through the forest below or clouds in the sky to better hide themselves as they make their way to the enemies.
“< Multi Elemental Magic: Nature’s Revolt >” (I)
