“I would like to thank you for your help to Oceania Kingdom and even went out your way to bring the vile pirates to our doorstep yourselves. Is there anything that our kingdom can do to repay your troubles?” Ch’tyuru expresses her gratitude.
“We have been painstakingly captured this pirate alive, in exchange for a certain information.” Alex says. “We would like to know about your ends of the agreement you’ve made with Port Apenai 10 years ago.”The serene atmosphere suddenly vanishes. Ch’tyuru expression changed from soft and caring into a stern one. A heavy silence filled the air around the chamber.Alex’s group looked rather restless especially Alex. Who in hindsight, thought that it might be a bit too direct and too early to bring up the topic of Port Apenai’s agreement.The pressure continues until Ch’tyuru breaks the silence.“So, it is truly happened, that armada are in possession of the demons…” Ch’tyuru ponders to herself. “We preAlex and his heroes party offered their assistance to give protection to Oceania Kingdom. He made that vow in order to save his mate, Saliery from being taken away from him. More than that, Alex hoped to recover the agreement made ten years ago between Oceania Kingdom and Nousant Kingdom. Knowing that there were some strange cases previously happened in Port Apenai and new information started to gather to Alex’s sense, Alex got an idea.Alex convinced Ch’tyuru that he would do his best to regain the friendly alliance again. He planned to capture the pirates, the responsible party that exploited the resource of Oceania Kingdom. Also, the government at Port Apenai, the ones that broke the sacred alliances between the two kingdom. To begin with his plan, Alex wanted to have Ch’tyuru permission to execute his mission to capture the pirates and brought them all to be judged by Oceania Kingdom. The Queen nodded with hope allowing Alex’s party to start the hunt. Ch’tyuru asked her merman gua
Alex’s party arrived at the bar and they were still outside. They heard loud laughter of men having a joy from inside the bar. Alex ordered Rasheed, Helene, and Stella to keep watching from outside and patrolling the surrounding area while Alex and the rest went inside the bar.As Alex, Germio, Pandora, and Saliery came inside, they could see lots of men were drunk in their happy face. But they could not find the bold-looking man with the eyepatch. Alex and his friends took a seat in an empty table and they ordered some light drinks.“Why you won’t let me get some beers!?” Germio was mad in disappointment.“Come on, man. We’re here for something else, right?” responded Alex with low voice. He did not want his intention to be recognized by the group of men.While Alex mingled with crowd of people in the bar, he tried to stay focused and listened to the crowd. He might not be able to grasp all the topics of their talking, but some of them were talking about the man with an eyepatch. Ale
Alex’s team raid was quite successful. Viscount Darren has been captured along with his bodyguards and some of the pirate crews. However, Judan managed to escape and Alex could not figure out what might happen next. Alex tried to interrogate the pirate crews but none of them knew what kind of plans Judan was plotting. Even though Alex and his team mates used many kinds of techniques to make the crews spoke up the truth, they did not really know. They only followed their leader wherever he went to.Leaving only the option to force Viscount Darren to reveal the truth.“What an impudent! How dare you treat me like this! Heroes should not do this kind method for officials!” Viscount Darren was roasting. He was upset but at the same time, he tried to hide his secret plan. Rasheed was holding him tightly.Looking at this kind of situation, Alex party did not really care about this. They have been following Alex until now and they knew that Alex’s actions were tr
Some minutes passed and the Viscount started to open his eyes. As he opened his eyes and looked around, he was so surprised to know that he was in his room. More than that, Alex was there with his two friends.“Good morning, Viscount Darren,” greeted Alex.“You! How dare you do this? This is violence!” Viscount Darren raged. He felt his head was still heavy after taking that previous hit.“Ssh! Now please calm down. We don’t want your wife to hear your mischief, right?” Alex reminded as well as giving a warning.“Would you like to have a drink, sir?” Helene offered a glass of water.Viscount Darren tried to stay calm. As long as he did not tell the secret about his plot, he would be just fine. He took a glass of water and drank it.Alex smiled and he began to continue the interrogation. “Viscount Darren, I would like to talk about your alliance with the pirate. Why did you choose to side with them?”“What are you talking
The sky went brighter as Alex’s ship sailed through the vast sea. It was almost noon and they could not see any trace left by Judan. Alex was worried that he could not catch up to Judan and the stolen treasures. He needed to find a way to make the ship move faster.“Captain Alex, it seems like the wind is not strong enough today. We might move slower,” reported Hamith in a pessimistic tone.The sails on the ship have been hoisted widely by Hamith. However, due to weaker wind power, the ship started to deccelerate.Alex tried to think of a possible way to break through this obstacle but he suddenly got distracted by Stella and Germio. The elf princess and the dwarf started to show the symptom of a seasick.“Ugh! What is this feeling? I feel so dizzy and uncomfortable,” blurped Stella trying keep herself from vomiting.CAWCAW!Mephisto screamed while rubbing its head to Stella. It tried to comfort her mother.“Ugh! I hate
“Haasdur!” Alex was surprised. He knew that familiar face was the royal guard of Oceania Kingdom.“Hero, thee must keep thy words! Those pirates were exploiting our territory again. They kidnapped our people.” Haasdur was furious. He lifted his trident and pointed it at Alex.Alex became more shocked. He felt upset. “Alright! You can count on us. But, I think I will need your help too if you don’t mind. This is for the sake of your kingdom.” Alex frowned. He looked serious.Haasdur frowned back and he tried to trust that hero even though he was still in doubt. “Alright. I will listen to thee.” After thinking for some seconds, Haasdur decided to offer his assistance to Alex.Alex and Haasdur started to devise a strategy about how they would fight against Judan and his crews. Judan was pretty strong. His power and speed were threatening. In order to match with Judan’s ability, Alex needed Haasdur troops to support him. A good teamwork would lead the
Moving to Alex’s point of view. Judan’s main ship already clashed with Alex’s ship. Judan jumped on Alex ship and he was ready to duel with Alex.Some of Judan crew were ordered to defeat Saliery, Rasheed, and Hamith. They were also ordered not to interfere with his duel against Alex.“We meet again, O Hero Alex.” Judan looked so confident with his bold expression. He pulled out his sword and ready to attack.Alex got ready with his battle stance. A golden aura was covering his Eisen sword. “I’m going to defeat you this time, Judan!”A fierce battle started between Alex and Judan. A hero versus Pirate Captain.Judan started the attack. He charged toward Alex with his fast speed. He slashed his sword hard trying to throw away Eisen from Alexs hand. Alex did not want the same thing happened again. He tried to hold his sword as hard as he could while still waiting for a chance for him to strike back. Judan insane movement was really annoying
Alex went back to Port Apenai together with his team mates after they had intense sea battle against the pirate. Alex team was won and the pirates were taken as prisoners by the merfolks. Alex gave reward to Hamith for helping him in riding the sail ship. Hamith seemed honoured since being able to fight alongside the Hero was a great experience. Alex also paid the bill to the owner of the ship by using some of the treasures he got from the merfolks. The owner was overjoyed even though there were so many damages on his ship. After paying them, Alex and his team continued his way to return to Viscount Darren’s house. Before that, Alex visited an official post to write a report regarding the case happened in Port Apenai. The letter written by Alex was then delivered to Nousant Kingdom.Arrived in Viscount Darren’s house, Alex and his friends were welcomed by Mrs.Darren. She invited Alex hero party to have a feast together. Pandora and Helene joined them too. Mrs.Darren wanted
As the group anxiously waiting by the side of the poisonous river, Mephisto’s conditions turns to worse. Helene and Merith are doing their hardest to treat Mephisto but to no avail. The bedridden bird can only hacks and coughs despite their best effort, signaling that the treatment from Helene and Marion didn’t work as expected.“Kween...” Chirp Mephisto weakly.“Meppy! Meppy! Stay with me, okay? Don’t leave me yet.” Stella cries as she hugs Mephisto.As they argued, a giant shadow suddenly emerged out of river with a splash and lands in their vicinity. It was Marion that jumped out of water. On his side, he is holding a creature with a weird body shape, resembling an eel with whiskers and a bloated stomach.“Here is the Lele fish!” Marion shows everybody his catch. The fish can only helplessly squirms on Marion’s grasp.“That’s... You sure ‘that’ is a fish?” Question Salieri.“That no animal. That monster.” Rasheed readies his w
“You’re not doing much of a help, Helene! You know what? You’re a useless saintess!”Stella’s angered words were still spinning inside the saintess thoughts. Her pride was hurt seeing that she couldn’t heal Mephisto and Stella was disappointed in her. Despite the harsh truth, Helene decided to try again after several unsuccessful attempts.“Helene, don’t go too hard on yourself,” Pandora reminded her.“I don’t,” replied the saintess quickly, her hands still busy pressing Mephisto’s weakening body with all of her might. “I just have to … heal Mephisto and prove that I’m a worthy member of this time.”“We are all valuable and worthy, no one is superior to others,” responded Alex, “take it slow, Helene. Don’t rush.”Seeing Helene’s work in vain, Pandora decided to leave the scene and inspect the waterfall. As she peered from above, her eyes caught something long and dark wiggling underneath. The witch sharpened her sight and noticed that it
Every hero party member was now relieved after being trapped inside the maze-like, magic forest. As Alex looked up at the darkened sky and the sun was already on the western horizon, he realized they'd spent hours figuring out the escape."Gosh, how long have we been there?" he said with surprise.“Ah, finalmente!” Salieri exclaimed, plopping himself to the grassy ground and stretching his feet. “My legs are sore from walking for days and I can feel my feet blistering.”“Just man up and don’t exaggerate, you limp man” Germio replied, as always being grumpy. “We’ve been there only for a few hours.”As the rest of the group rested and gained some energy, Stella looked around and examined the new surrounding. All the elf girl saw was just an expanse of green meadow, but her keen hearing sensed something more. She quickly took a turn to the opposite side of the sun, following the stone path. It was slightly slippery from the moss that grew on almost e
They have been walking for around an hour now and yet they could not find any sign of exit. The party began to feel tired.“Sir Alex. Everyone is tired. Should we take a break?” Helene looked worried. She could feel Pandoran and the merfolks began to catch their breath.“Just a little more. Resting in the forest and got lost might be a bad idea. We need to find the exit soon.” Alex demanded the team to keep walking more because as far as he could remember, there was a forest that could trap them for days. Alex’s memory was quiet blurry at that time but one thing for sure that when he decided to take a rest in a certain forest, on the next day they were trapped for more than one day.The others nodded in agreement because they believed in Alex’s decision. So, they tried their best to continue walking while following the hero.More minutes have passed and they were still wandering around the foggy forest. Not only Pandora and the merfolks, the other coul
Alex and his party continued their journey to explore Tiryag continent after they had enough rest. They came deeper into the forest until they reached the area where fog started to appear. The fog was not so thick and they could see the road in sight. They might arrived in a new area and new enemies might appear anytime soon.“Hmm, this forest give me a chill.”Pandora commented. It seemed like she could sense something.“What is it, Pan? Do you sense any enemy?” Alex asked. He was leading the team by walking in front line.“I’m not sure. I just feel like something is bothering me.” Pandora still could not clearly stated what she felt once she came into this foggy forest. She tried to find out herself.As they kept on walking further, they could hear a sound like a giggle.“Hey, elf girl. What are you giggling about?” Germio looked at Stella suspecting her for being the one who giggled. The sound was indeed like a little girl and it fit he
It took almost a day until Alex and his party arrived in Tiryag continent. The ship was anchored near a beach that looked gloomy with eerie atmosphere. There was no sign of lives as far as they tried to search around it. However, they could feel uneasiness when they tried to see the forest right in front of them. Soon after that, they decided to explore the continent by going forward to that forest hoping that they could find some clues about how to locate the Demon King.The large group were walking peacefully without encountering something dangerous at that moment. But soon, they might find themselves surrounded with uncertain dangers and challenges ahead.“Rasheed, are you alright?” Alex asked after reading the expression of that big fella that turned discouraged. Despite of Rasheed’s big body, that expression did not really suit him. Moreover, Alex could remember something about his past life when he stepped into Tiryag along with his hero party. He believed th
“Avast ye, ye filthy camper! ‘Twas so cowardly of you to launch a sneak attack like that!” cursed Jillaab. He aimed his remark at the ocean, suspecting that the assault just now came from down there.That statement resulted in a twin pillars of water forming from the seemingly calm waves. And from within those pillars, two blue shadows appeared and landed on board.“Shiver me timbers! ‘Tis the Wow Warriors!” exclaimed Balastar, finding it hard to see two humanoid fishes walking towards him with two legs. “I thought it was just a myth!”“Wow Warriors?” asked Pandora. It was clearly merfolks that they saw in front of them. “Is that how you guys call merfolks?”“Young lass, we have no idea what this merfolk yer’ talking about, but the Wow Warriors we’re referring to is a stuff of legend, used to be told as a nighttime scary stories!” replied Jillaab, equally in awe with his comrade.“Aye, that be true, matey! Many a sailor have told tales of their terrifying encounters with the Wow Warri
It had been less than an hour since the ship departed the port, but the debate had been going nonstop. The main topic was caused by Alex’s rash decision to recruit the two pirates who appeared out of nowhere.“Al, have you lost your mind?” protested Pandora. “We don’t know about these two dirty guys and you just casually invited them aboard? On top of that, you entrusted them with the wheel!”“Not to mention that sinister-looking parrot, Alex!” Stella took on Pandora’s side. “This ship is too small for two birds. Mephy should be the only one on board!”Alex, on the other hand, didn’t directly entertain their banter. Instead, he just stood there, allowing each of his crews to vent their dissatisfaction. Meanwhile Jillaab and Balastar were having a god round of the ship, amazed by the beauty they laid their eyes upon."Ahoy there! Ye lot be blessed enough to sail the virgin ocean on this beauty, yet ye still find time to argue? Ye should be grateful for this adventure and enjoy the jour
“What’s wrong, Alex?” asked the King. “Where did all of your previous enthusiasm go?”“Your Majesty, I would love to do as just what you told me. But steering the ship is something out of my realm of capabilities.” Alex chose his words carefully not to displease the King. “I’ve been looking around for a while, but never did once I saw someone tending the ship.”Frown appeared in King Romeus’ forehead. “Didn’t you subdue the pirates before here in this very place? I thought you were no stranger to command a ship?”“Yeah, but that time a good person came to my aid,” argued Alex, his eyes were scanning the surrounding and by a pure stroke of luck, he locked his view on his aforementioned lifesaver. “Speak of the devil, that was the man!”Hamith, being pointed out by Alex, smiled and waved at his old companion, approaching him lightly. “Sir Hero, I have heard that there would be a grand farewell of the heroes here on the port, so I made my way here. And boy am I honored to know that you s
