Chapter 47 Burning Victory (2)

Coupled with the fact that Toothless was also bathing in the flames, repelling the hands of giants they tried to touch made my insides burn with excitement at the result of our abilities.

Steam started to form around us, covering and hiding our bodies in the mist.

Though the flames around us were still burning brightly for all to see, I could notice the giants shifting back with surprise evident on their faces.

Surprise huh!!

I patted Toothless on her body.

"We don't need to waste any more time. End it quickly" I commanded.

My words ended with Toothless using her body as a boulder and clashing it against the body of the giants.

And I watched as her body disintegrated into steam before it started to disappear in a speck of light.

I knew that it would form back though.

But from the looks of it, the healing process seems to have gotten slower.

Now focusing our attention on the second giant while I didn't forget to dodge the attacks of the pixies, since they were a threat to me, but were like flies tickling against Toothless skin.

They didn't dare come close to me and attack but instead stayed far away.

"BANG!!!"

"SHRRIRIIILL!!!"

The second giant screamed in pain as Toothless collided her body on top of the second giant and ripped off her hand again with a large chunk of her upper body.

And although she was still standing, anyone with eyes and ears could tell that the damage she took was worst than it looked.

Her skin was seared apart, while the rest of her body which was made up of water boiled away like steam, further shrouding our environment and vision with mist.

Knowing that this battle wouldn't end anytime soon until I find the person responsible for this magic, I looked around seriously until I finally found a ship several hundred meters away from me.

I found you!!

Since the onset of when I arrived here, I have been too focused on saving my ship and releasing it from the grip of the water-carved giant till it started to attack us, yet, I didn't bother searching for any other individual even when I knew that the person responsible for this was close by.

Although it wasn't the best decision, a water giant over a hundred meters tall, holding your already damaged ship several feet high in the air wasn't a pleasing sight to see. Especially after you have been stranded for several days on the ocean.

"BANG!!!"

Toothless clashed into the giant's body one more time, searing and stemming her body apart until a whole chunk of her upper body was gone. Leaving only her legs and lower part.

They were still trying to reform though, but the rate was much slower than before.

Even the first giant hasn't finished reforming!!

Directing my thoughts to Toothless in the direction of the unfamiliar ship that I have spotted, I commanded her to quickly head towards it.

And in no time, we blasted off.

We moved through the water like a torpedo horning on its target

And the closer we got, the closer I could see that they had stopped moving and were waiting for our arrival.

Well, they were strong enough to summon those humanoid giants out of nowhere, so it wasn't as though I was stupid enough to attack them head-on unless I didn't value my life.

Commanding Toothless to stop several meters away from the ship, I didn't immediately switch off my flames because I felt the need to intimidate them and add more tension in the air.

And with a 115-meter-long man-eating whale that was raging in flames while steams of water flew from both sides of its body, it wasn't hard to understand that such a scene was already more than intimidating than I had thought even though I couldn't see It myself.

"WHO ARE YOU? AND WHY ARE YOU INTERFERING WITH OUR MATTERS"

I turned my head in the direction of the voice and saw that the person that had spoken was a man with a distinct attire.

Judging by his clothes and the clothing of those around him, I could tell that he was the captain.

Releasing a breath of fresh air as I stood up straight on top of Toothless back, I looked in his direction and responded.

"I AM PRINCE WYATT, CAPTAIN OF THAT SHIP THAT YOU HAD ATTEMPTED TO MISHADLE. SO HOW COULD I BE INTERFERING WITH YOUR MATTERS IF THE MATTER THAT YOU ARE ATTENDING TO IS RELATED TO MY SHIP".

…....….....

Listening to the man's response, Captain Crimson eye couldn't help but show a thin smile as his suspicion was correct.

"Prince W-yatt.. T-hat I--ss P--rin--ce Wyatt?"

But It seems that not everybody took the response very well, as Annabelle who could barely stand because of the strain and aftereffects of the battle on her, muttered incoherently as she was just one step away from falling unconscious.

"Someone, carry her to her room and make sure that she is well feed and rested" Captain Crimson eye said to his crewmen who were still looking at the scene in front of them with dazed expressions.

And although he could see the disbelief on their faces that was the same as that of Annabelle, he couldn't blame them.

After all, even him, the image of a young man with flames around him while he stood on top of a Tiger Whale that was equally raging with flames around it too was an unsettling sight to behold.

At least, he was grateful that Prince Wyatt was at least reasonable enough to stop at a distance from them and did not attempt to bash through his ship.

At most, he was sure that he could survive, but as for his crewmen, their chances of surviving were slimmer.

Nonetheless, he had to admit that Prince Wyatt at least knows how to make a powerful and intimidating first impression.

Even though he heard that he has just been riding the ocean for just two months, what he had just witnessed was clear that he can also survive on it.

But as for how he was able to tame Tiger Whale and make it immune to the flames burning around it, he didn't even want to know as such knowledge was useless to him.

"AHEM!!!… IF YOU SAY THAT IT WAS YOUR SHIP, THEN CAN YOU TELL ME WHY YOU WEREN'T AROUND WHEN IT TRIED TO TRESPASS THROUGH MY SEA ILLEGALLY".

Wyatt heard the man's response and couldn't help but frown.

"I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THE SEA HAD AN OWNER. AND BESIDES, THE REASON I WASN'T AROUND WAS BECAUSE I HAD GONE TO TAKE CARE OF THIS BIG GUY HERE AFTER SHE HAD ATTACKED MY SHIP" Wyat replied.

'She!! So you mean that he had just tamed that beast recently just because it had attacked his ship' Captain Crimson eye could only gulp down a portion of his spit immediately after he heard Prince Wyatt's response.

Although he was confident in his strength, he also knew how hard it was for a beast tamer to tame a strong beast, especially when it was an ocean beast or any magical beast that is strong enough to hold its own in the wilderness.

Trying not to let any cracks break through his stilled expression, he responded.

"I SEE. SO THAT'S WHY THE SHIP LOOKED SO BRUTALLY DAMAGED. VERY WELL SINCE YOU ARE HERE NOW, WHY DON'T YOU COME IN SO THAT WE COULD TALK ABOUT IT AND SETTLE ANY QUARRELS THAT LIE BETWEEN US?" Captain Crimson eye responded.

Though he was certain that he could take on the Prince even though he attacked together with the TIiger whale, he wasn't sure anymore, now that they were literally burning in flames while still being surrounded by water.

He would probably get burnt to ashes if he tries to get too close. And as a fighter, how could he win if he is unable to land an attack on his enemy?

He wasn't a Summoner or a Beast tamer like Annabelle or Prince Wyatt who could attack from a safe distance and leave their summons or beast to do the dirty work for them.

He was a fighter, a warrior rank ascendant!!

And although he was strong, in front of those who were blessed with mana, his weakness shines brightly.

Focusing his attention on the Tiger Whale to sense its rank while he waited for Prince Wyatt's reply, Captain Crimson eye instantly felt the smile on his face drop on his face by a few inches.

'A 5th circle Lesser beast'

Snapping his head to concentrate on Prince Wyatt, the smile plastered on his face dropped again as he sensed his ascendant's rank.

"6th circle of the first rank' From what he has, Prince Wyatt was 6th circle 1st Rank Beast tamer.

"..."

Bullshit!!

Utter rubbish!!!

At least, if you wanted to hide your strength, do it better and reduce it to a much more reasonable level.
