Eldritch Creature's Guide

When they were near enough, Samiel used the Nuclear Void Mana Control Method to strengthen his legs as he jumped high in the air and fell down directly at the deck of the ship in the center of their small formation.

Not wasting any seconds, waved his right hand, freezing the entire deck through the usage of Winter Ruler, with a few of the bounty hunters that were unfortunate to be in the vicinity of him, too frozen to death.

He then conjured an ice trident and directly rushed at the nearest Steel-Tier bounty hunter, who was wearing a long leather trench coat, piercing through his stomach with the ice trident.

It was an instant kill, as the bounty hunter was pierced through and his insides were frozen to icicles.

The remaining bounty hunters that were still alive instantly woke up from their stupor as they just realized what happened and started drawing out their weapons and started attacking Samiel.

Unfortunately for them, their numbers were meaningless in front of absolute power because while they were fifty of them on the board, all of them were just a mixture of Iron-Tiers and Steel-Tiers with three Bronze-Tier...

When the head of the last bounty hunter fell onto the deck, Samiel was finished with the cleanup operation.

All of the bounty hunters were killed by him within several minutes and he had no doubt that the situation on the other two ships was essentially the same.

"Killing these ants doesn\'t give me any sense of satisfaction... I should leave such small fries to Undead from now."

He muttered, slightly disappointed with the situation.

He was aware that in the aspect of raw power, he eclipsed these trashy Professionals...

Even those from prestigious backgrounds would have trouble fighting him, unlike those who never received formal training.

Opening his Holo-Brain, a holographic image of Yvraine and Juulius appeared and as he expected, they, too, finished their part on the deck. Naturally, both of them were Silver-Tier Professionals and extra powerful at that so that some bounty hunters won\'t be a problem for them.

"Did you search through them?"

Asking the important question for a money grubber like him, they nodded before they proceeded to explain what they obtained from the bounty hunters.

"Yes, we obtain a good number of weapons, some loot, mostly alcohol and gold. Nothing special."

Juulius stated because there wasn\'t much to obtain from the bounty hunters. Most of them lived from what they made, what they made they instantly used, so not many of them had anything of remarkable value.

"Same here. Probably the main ship will have something more, considering it belonged to the leader of the bounty hunters."

Yvraine too had a stroke of bad luck with the loot, normally she wouldn\'t even bother with this, but unfortunately, then she would receive either a scolding or a cold shoulder from Samiel...

He was really on looting and obtaining everything of even small value.

She always knew that it was just a manifestation of his inner fear of becoming poor and not having money and at the same time, it was a remembrance of the memories of his past life on Earth.

"What about the other two ships?"

Juulius asked as Samiel thought about it for a short time before he decided to order sink the ships as they won\'t be needing them.

"Sink them, including our old ship. We will be taking this one."

Samiel ordered as both of them went to carry out his orders; while he went to search through the ship.

Before he searched the corpses of the bounty hunters and the quarters of the leader and crew, he summoned his Undead and ordered them to clean out the ship and throw all corpses to the sea.

When he started going through the personal belongings of the bounty hunters, he was mildly surprised that the bounty hunters had some nice things in their spatial storages, especially the ones who were the Bronze-Tiers.

"They have surprisingly good weapons stored here... a few tonnes of gold in bars and some artifacts, probably belonging to extinguished civilizations that existed on the 11th Floor. And there are even some items belonging to the Merfolk, though I don\'t know which tribe."

Merfolk was a term for a humanoid species that lived within the oceans; sometimes, they appeared closer to humans, while some of them appeared closer to fishes or other species of maritime lifeforms.

They lived in worlds that were either solely aquatic or largely aquatic and rarely interacted with the surface world above the island.

So it was pretty rare to see Merfolk in these areas.

Time on the seas was flowing fast and soon enough, Samiel and co arrived at the territorial waters of the Laros Kingdom.

When they arrived with their ship in their territorial waters, not even two hours after that, they were surrounded by five ships of the Laros Kingoddm and another two from the Marines.

All of their ships were several times bigger than the one they were using, but that was understandable, as they were the ships of official organizations and all of them were made from steel.

One of the bounty hunters was made of wood, so it wasn\'t that special and powerful compared to the ships of the Marines and the Laros Kingdom.

It was clear that they were patrolling their territorial waters and guarding them against the pirates and other scum of the seas that would attempt to enter their territory.

Samiel left the communication with the Marines and Kingdom Official to Juulius; it was his responsibility as his personal knight. After Juulius presented them with a seal from The Guild, they let them pass and enter the territory of the Laros Kingdom.

The proof of identity as Mercenaries of The Guild was something that the Laros Kingdom couldn\'t ignore as their social standing was too low compared to members of the 13 Gates like The Guild.

They opted for this because Samiel didn\'t wish to reveal his identity as a member of the Hall of Kadath.

After all, this was the area under the influence of the Germinal Order.

Laros mainland was located on a small sub-continent, which was humongous, considered even by Sameil\'s standards, but according to the classification of the Tower, it was just a sub-continent, even though it was twice big as Eurasia from Earth.
