Chapter 306: Ghost Ship

What is this place? Miles looked at the scene in front of him with amazement. He was standing on a hill, and what lay beneath his feet was an abyssal water body of a grim, foreboding sea lying what remains of an old ship potentially lost during a fight with monsters, years ago. She was in a wrecked state but all things considered, it was a miracle for it to stand as she did. There were creatures who enjoyed the vast opportunities she had to offer them. Monsters of sea life, climbing on the deck to enjoy the sun.

The ship was an unsettling sight from a distance, like a dead beast slowly rotting and eaten by maggots. She was barely standing upright and her absent pieces left a gloomy absence of what was meant to be. Monsters on deck, ignoring her once-glorious self, were jumping on rusty metal, destroying it in their wake.

Zall discovered this place when he fell asleep in the river. River took him all the way here. Xavic explained. Zall looked embarrassed, while Miless eyes were twitching. Falling asleep on a river in Portal World? Only Zall could do it for sure.

And, what is in there? Miles asked.

I saw a small tree growing inside the sea, reaching out to the ship. On the trees body, there were fruits. Although they were underripe, I could feel the energy inside them. There was also a strong monster sleeping before the tree, protecting it. Zall explained slowly.

What type of monster, and what was its tier, Miles asked. He saw Tutor Dusek's ultimate, so he knew there were trees that could increase help with training. He was interested in it.

It has two enormous eyes that survey its surroundings from their deep sockets. A simple nose rests below, but it's the eerie mouth that grabs your attention. A brittle smile reveals two small canines and a very long tongue.

Broad warped ears sit on each side of its tiny, pointy head, which itself is covered in rows of small spikes and has two broad horns protruding from the sides.

Its long brawny body stands straight. Two short, almost branch-like arms dangle at its sides and end in broad hands with sharp nailed fingers, of which it has 8 in total. Its legs are lean and are bent, each ending in skinny feet.

Lets retreat, Zall said.

Lets watch. We are still far, and not in danger. We can take advantage if they decide to fight each other. Miles calmed them down and kept on watching. When the crocodile was only 100 meters away from the ship, a humanoid monster walked out of it. Its eyes were locked on the giant monster, and a giant trident was fixed in its hand. Its bluish-purple scales were shining under the sun. The monster roared to stop the crocodile's advance.

The crocodile stopped and looked at the humanoid monster. It wasnt as big as its front leg, but it still could feel that the humanoid monster was dangerous. As they were staring at each other, the humanoid monster started to speak in a foreign language.

Get away from my area, you overgrown lizard.

Miles's eyes dilated as he understood what the humanoid monster said. It is the same language. Miles thought in his heart. The language was the same as the Exaltedness of the Creator. When he first received it, thanks to Jellys mother he also learned the interpretation. Now the humanoid monster was speaking in the same language.

The crocodile responded with a roar, but it obviously wasnt able to speak.

If you want to fight, bring it on. But let me warn you, I have acquired a blessing from an Evil-Lord. The humanoid monster said and raised its arm. Under its arm, on its triceps was a strange tattoo.

The tattoo was cyan in color and had three moss in tandem. Behind the mosses, a figure of a mermaid could be vaguely seen.

When the giant crocodile saw the tattoo, it took a step back in fear and looked at the humanoid with dread in its eyes. Then it looked at the ship in greed and mustered up its courage. It took a step forward, and a pillar of water left its giant maw, flying directly to the humanoid monster.
