Marco jumped out from the hole on the ship, and dusted off his hands, however he didn"t deactivated the Chakra Gate, in the hole behind him there was the sealed monster, which was a tiny starfish.Some minutes pa.s.sed, however Alice wasn"t back yet, Marco had a small frown and walked inside the ship, he found some stairs and walked down. As soon as he reached the bottom of the stairs…
Alice: Hyaaaaaaaa!
Marco flinched at the sudden scream and looked in front of him, finding Alice in her Monster Form speeding towards him, crying.
Marco was lifted up and put in front of Alice, who pressed her face against his back as her tail flies all over the place in terror, hiding behind him.
Marco: Where is Selena?
Alice: Se...Se...Se… That"s…. That"s… She… She… G…!!
She continued to stutter, but before she could even say the last word, Selena"s voice came from the end of the hall, and she came out from the shadows.
Selena: ...I"m right here.
Marco: *Sigh*
Selena: That young monster seems to be quite terrified…
Marco: Well, she doesn"t like ghosts…
Alice: W-Wait, you knew?!
Marco: When you see everyone not attacking, eating, drinking, or even p.i.s.sing, you can get some suspicions, and your actions confirmed them…
Alice was too terrified to get angry with Marco, but Selena spoke.
Selena: More importantly, Marco. The thing I"m after is past this door.
Marco looked at the door that she was pointing, and took a large gulp.
Marco: "Calm down… They will never hurt you, you are too strong…"
Marco took a step forward, which was suspiciously trembling, and got in front of the Captain Selene"s Cabin.
Selena: We must not let "Them" out. Marco… You must…
Before she could end the sentence, she vanished, meanwhile Alice was in a corner, facing the wall, and her tail coiled around her waist while she was hugging herself, somehow she looked like a Chibi(Mini) version of herself…. Fiction Logic?
Marco sighed, and lifted up the chibi cartoon-ish Alice, who was crying like a baby.
Marco: Come, Alice…
She was trembling the entire time while Marco tried to calm himself for when he met the source of his trauma. He opened the door and stepped in, finding three powerful looking monsters waiting in the Cabin. They almost looked like fly, a red, purple and dark green flies were there.
Their bodies were covered into an exoskeleton except for their faces, chest, abdomen, and the lower part of their tails, which looked like a fly"s abdomen, and was full of big soft b.r.e.a.s.t.s.
Each one of them had 2 pair of insect arms and two pair of fly"s wings with a skull symbol over them…. Beelzebubs…
At this moment, Marco started to have some flashbacks and his mind shook slightly, but it was not enough to make him terrorized.
Beelzebub 1: Oh… You"re the little soldier that pirate sent over here. You seem quite delicate for a traveler…
Beelzebub 2: Hehe… But he"s awfully cute, especially that golden glow around him makes him cuter. That face just makes me want to tease him.
Beelzebub 3: In the end, humans are only tools for us to reproduce, nothing more. Their only worth lies in the s.e.m.e.n we can collect.
Marco didn"t utter a single word and let Alice go, before he lit his palms with fire.
Marco: I"ll burn the entire ship if I need to exterminate you…
Beelzebub 1: How cute, you think you are tough…
Marco pointed an arm at one of the Beelzebubs before he snapped his fingers, and a fire bolt shot out really fast at the green Beelzebub, however with a wave of her hand, the flame turned off.
Beelzebub 3: This is not enough t- *Boom*
A second fire bolt slammed onto her face, making her back away, meanwhile Marco rushed at the most nearby one and charged a Fire Style: Bijuudama, she moved an hand over her to protect herself from the attack, but she was baffled from the power that the attack emanated when it touched her.
And the attack exploded, it destroyed the wall behind them and sent all 3 Beelzebubs in the sky, thanks to the Jewel of the Rotten World, their flying capabilities are really limited, but it was still enough for them to play with Marco in the air.
Beelzebub 2: Hahaha! You can"t reach us anymore!
Marco"s palm faced them and shot out fire b.a.l.l.s, however they easily dodged them and laughed at him.
Beelzebub 1: Girls, let"s attack him back!
Beelzebub 2 and 3: Yes!
Then all 3 of them shot forward, and flew towards Marco, he lowered his palm and took a deep breath, he looked calm however his heart was beating really fast.
Marco: "Undine, I need your help."
Undine: Yes, I got it.
Then Marco could feel a stronger control over water, and used it to create a giant water snake, surprising them, they tried to fly away from the snake"s range of attack, however…
Marco: "Sylph, trap them."
Sylph: Yes!
A tornado was created around the Beelzebubs, however it didn"t scared them and continued towards the wall of the tornado to escape the water snake"s attack.
Marco: "Salamander, unleash your flames, the stronger they are, the better it is."
Salamander: Aye sir!
Then Marco spit out a "Dragon Breath", which mixed with the tornado and made a fire tornado, the Beelzebubs were unable to get out, and the giant water snake inside the fire tornado finally swallowed them and immediately froze, trapping the monsters.
However, due to the heat of the fire tornado, which was slowly getting unstable, the ice snake started to crack, and pieces of it fell in the water, meanwhile the pieces that contained the three frozen monsters slowly fell too.
And for the last thing in this magic trick, Marco used Sylph to increase the air pressure on the tornado, and released it all in a moment, causing a incredibly big explosion.
Marco jumped back and used Gnome"s powers to shield himself and Alice, behind him.
The explosion destroyed the back of the ship and the barrier sealing the area, when the shock settled down, Marco turned around and charged a Wind Style: Bijuudama, before throwing it at the smoke.
The smoke got around the shuriken-like bijuudama, and exploded into a sphere of raging wind, the smoke vanished, revealing the three injured Beelzebubs which were slowly reduced to paste.
Marco: Not.. Yet…
Making bijuudamas was a bit tiring, but Marco created more chakra arms and created 6 more mini bijuudamas.
Marco: Alice… Throw me at them before they could defend themselves.
Alice, who recovered herself from the trauma caused from ghosts, nodded, her tail coiled around Marco"s body and thrown him at the Beelzebubs, the sphere of raging wind attacked Marco too, his body was slowly bleeding due to the countless cuts he received.
But thanks to Gnome"s powers, he didn"t received a fatal attack, and reached the Beelzebubs, before smashing two bijuudama for each of them in their abdomens, and the explosion exponentially got stronger with all 6 of them exploding.
Marco was seen flying over the explosion due to the push he received when the bijuudamas exploded, and now he was starting to fall in the sea together with Selene"s ship, almost unconscious.
Marco: "Heh… I did it… I beat them at the first attempt…"
Marco slowly closed his eyes, however he didn"t noticed the message of the system.
*Ding*
*Congratulations for Host to surpa.s.s his trauma caused from his past life.*
*Reward: +10% of Host"s willpower.*
*Ding*
*Congratulations for Host to reach the required willpower to enter the Kurama Gate.*
*Serene Mind will not give temporary access to the next Gate until Host has enough willpower.*
*Ding*
*Warning: Status: Unconscious.*
*Ding*
*Special Quest[Successful]: Go with Captain Selene to pick up the Purple Orb.*
And so, he started to get deeper in the sea, unaware of Alice with a Purple Orb on her left hand that was swimming towards him to rescue him.
[Later]
Marco slowly opened his eyes, finding himself under a white blanket, he looked up to find a wooden ceiling. He slowly stood up, revealing that he was wearing only boxers, he held his head in pain and found his clothings at the edge of the bed.
After dressing up, he walked over the stairs out from his room and reached the deck, probably of Selena"s ship. However, there was the entire crew and Selena herself waiting for him.
Selena: Thank you, Marco. Thanks to you, those horrible abominations have been destroyed.
Marco: Yeah, yeah… Now can you take me and Alice back to the land before she gets an heart attack? I need her alive.
Selena: *Sigh* So you already knew it… Well, I will present myself once again, I am Captain Selene. We aren"t living beings anymore. As soon as we accidentally released those monsters 50 years ago, our lives were lost.
*Thump*
Selene: But having released the Queen of Flies, dooming the world… We were so full of regret, we were unable to move on to the next world. But… Now we have no more regrets. Thank you, Marco. I wish you lu- ...Ah?
She noticed that Marco was long gone from the deck, and was currently piloting the ship at Gold Port, while Alice was at the side, she fainted when she heard they were all ghosts.
Selene sighed, and she and the rest of her pirates slowly vanished with an amused smirk.
Some days pa.s.sed, and they reached the land, Marco stretched himself and Alice turned human again and slithered as fast as she could out from the haunted ship.
Marco: Alright, now that we have all 6 the orbs, let"s go to Sabasa to solve the s.h.i.t over there, and then we will pick our plane to h.e.l.lgondo…
And so, Marco and Alice left Gold Port, with an unforgettable memory, especially for Alice… Now they started a new adventure, and headed to Sabasa Kingdom, to solve the problem about Sara"s kidnapping.
