The Kind of Evil-Chapter 136: Sea beasts.

Matthias looked to the left and right at the sea, confused. His crew was as confused as he was because they had entered a sea where sea beasts lived. There wasn’t a single sea beast in the sea, and they were both happy and worried.

Aris looked down. She had noticed the presence of sea beasts in the deep ever since they entered their lairs. She knew those beasts were avoiding the ship, afraid. It wasn’t because of her, it was because of the saint’s body that they avoided the ship.

She began to wonder how much God treasured saints and protected them. After seeing how the body was preserved and unharmed and how even the sea beast respected the dead body of a saint, she was confused and intrigued.

"Lady Aris... we’re almost there," Matthias informed her and showed her the map. "Sapphire Island, the only island where the sand looked blue like sapphire."

...

They anchored the ship as Aris carried the casket to the upper deck. She looked at the island with barely any trees on it, but the tall grass and the sapphire sands looked like a perfect place to bury a body there.

She used a rowboat to reach the island and dragged the casket onto the island. She went to the spot in between two tall palm trees and put down the casket.

She patted the ground, and it immediately sunk as if the ground was opening up under her command. She carefully put the casket in there, and the ground closed itself as if nothing had happened. She would be the only person who knew where the body was, and it was far enough from any island.

"Rest while you still can..." Aris muttered and stared at the ground before she walked away and went back to the ship.

...

It hadn’t been an hour since they sailed from the island, and they began to hear a faint, high-pitched whistle that echoed throughout the sea. The sea was no longer silent like before, and they could see dark spots from the deep.

"It’s the song..." Matthias muttered. Go to your posts! Keep an eye on the water! Now!" He shouted as he held the helm tightly.

Matthias took a deep breath as he closed his eyes to calm himself down. Suddenly, one of his crew alerted him about a whistle from the front left. He steered the ship to the far right, pulling the helm down as hard as he could.

A strong wave of geysers hit the left side of the ship and created a few holes. The crew immediately grabbed the planks and began to cover the holes.

"Right front!" A crew member shouted.

Matthias slammed the helm to the left as fast as he could. This time, they managed to avoid the geyser. He kept his ears wide open to calls from his crew.

Aris watched how Matthias and his crew coordinated with each other. It was amusing, and not to mention the boiling water from the geysers that was enough to melt a human skin. She enjoyed the show and wondered if the ship could survive.

Matthias maneuvered the ship, avoiding all the geysers and, at the same time, keeping the sail on the wind. His experience as a pirate captain and the ship he built were tested here.

"Fucking hell! From all the sea beasts, it must be her!" Matthias complained as he steered the ship and kept his focus on his surroundings.

"What is it exactly?" Aris asked as she stood beside Matthias.

"A sea snake, a massive one. We called her the Boilback because it’s a snake with holes on its back where she can shoot hot air. She uses the geysers to sink the ships since she can’t swim to the surface," Matthias kept maneuvering the ships as he explained it.

"We will be fine. This ship is fast and has an amazing response," Matthias grinned with confidence. "We are close to leaving her territory as well, so enjoy the show!" He laughed in excitement.

Aris walked to the side and looked down at the water to see what it looked like with her ability. When she was about to look at it, something big just swam quickly under the ship, twice the size of the ship.

"Captain! The Razornose is here!" One of the crew members shouted. His voice trembled in fear when he saw that silhouette.

"Today is really our lucky day, huh? Both Boilback and Razornose appear at the same time," Matthias muttered as he gritted his teeth. "Drop the rowboats! We need to distract that bastard!" He shouted.

The crews dropped all four of the rowboats and left them behind. They all looked at the rowboats and saw the silhouette beneath them. A swordfish that was twice the size of the ship with its long and sharp nose jumped out of the sea and swallowed all the rowboats.

"I hope that should be enough to fool him..." Matthias looked at the sail, and the wind was against them. "Ah, the sea is against us today, lads!" He shouted.

Aris looked at the sail, and the wind was against it, making it hard for them to advance. She manipulated the wind and curved it to push the ship instead of against it.

"He’s coming!" The crew shouted as they saw the silhouette right behind the ship.

Aris leaned against the railing and rested her chin on her fist, waiting for the sea beast to surface. Everyone was panicking because it was impossible to outrun him because of the wind earlier.

"We are doomed! Brace for impact!" Matthias shouted as he held onto the helm tightly.

She closed her eyes and transferred Mana into the turbine, forcing it to spin faster. The force made everyone fall to the ground, and the ship almost jumped. The Razornose went to the surface and missed because of the sudden change in momentum.

Matthias and the others looked up with their eyes and mouths wide open when they saw the Razornose floating right above them. They were stunned and then realized if it landed on top of the ship, they would get crushed.

"Oh... shit!" Matthias screamed his lungs out as he watched the Razornose slowly descend.

Aris closed her eyes, and suddenly, the Razornose was cut clean in half vertically. The blood and gut missed the ship and almost made a mess as the body that got cut in half fell into the water, saving the ship and everyone on it.

Everyone was out of breath and words, they were completely shocked that they had forgotten to breathe. Aris suddenly pushed herself away from the railing and looked down at Matthias.

"No time to be shocked. We should leave this area as soon as possible before the other sea beasts come," Aris said as she looked at the sea that had turned red. "If you need anything, I’ll be in my room," she added and went downstairs.

Matthias and the others shared a look, they couldn’t believe it even though they saw it with their own eyes. There was nobody in history who could kill a sea beast without moving a muscle.

They arrived at the port, and they were still shocked from back then. However, they noticed there were a lot of people at the port, more than usual. It didn’t seem like there was something going on, it was just crowded.

Aris didn’t bother to check as she walked down the ship and covered her hair with a hood. She was on her way to Carrion’s mansion where the carriage was waiting for her until suddenly a small boy stood in front of her and showed a letter in his hand.

She looked at the letter and took it from the boy. Before she could say anything, the boy ran away and went back to his friends. She looked at the letter as she unfolded it.

The letter was from Erlina, she informed about the shift in power in the capital city and how much it would affect Eddenvilla in the future. Since Esteban and his party were imprisoned, the other party had begun to use the opportunity to monopolize the cities that belonged to Esteban and his party.

Erlina and Eduard were planning to seize the opportunity as well to strengthen their position not only in Eddenvilla but in the whole nation. They knew they couldn’t let this opportunity go, so they were going to do it and hoped Rasmus would understand and support them.

After Aris read the letter, she went to the mansion and continued her journey again.
