All-in-One System: All I Need is Erotic Coins

Chapter 146 Captain In The Ocean (3)

A ship was not what Damian wanted to find, and the same for all the other crew members. Other ships were not what would make them pass that level of the tower; the land would.

"Captain, will we go meet this ship?" the man with the white eye said.

Not only did he have that question, but all the others did, and they would obey whatever order Damian thought of giving them. But no one wanted to make bold guesses or say the wrong thing, so they all stayed quiet, waiting for Damian's final decision.

"Yes, let's go meet them. Maybe they know something about this place. Also, if they try to attack us, I will wipe them from this plane."

Damian meant when he said that, and everyone inside his ship believed he would do that after the power he displayed a few moments ago. They could even imagine the scene of Damian destroying that ship if they tried something against him.

After Damian's statement, everyone was on the same page, so they all worked together to sail the ship toward the other ship, which was still somewhat far.

A pirate ship was not the fastest means of transportation — slow, actually — and the sea was extensive, too, making the journey even more boring.

For Damian, boring, but for the weaker crew members? A paradise. No one wanted to have a similar situation to the one with the octopus, especially after they imagined the situation where their ship sank and all the beasts that were deep in the water.

As they got closer and closer to that ship, the ship's captain seemed to have noticed Damian's ship, slowing it down to meet him. Damian had no idea what to expect, but when he got close enough to have a glimpse of the captain, he was surprised!

It was the same man who talked to him back on the resting floor, the man with two swords on his back, one of the first ones to complete the first level of the Skyfall Tower.

Damian had an excellent first impression of the man, so some doubts about that encounter turning into a bloodbath vanished.

"You?"

All ships were the same, so there was no way for the man to know the ship coming toward him belonged to Damian, but once they were close enough, it was impossible to not know who Damian was.

"We met sooner than expected. Can we talk inside?" Damian asked.

"Of course. Come in."

Damian stopped his ship next to the other and jumped from one to another — a big jump but not that difficult for a superhuman.

He and the man with two swords on his back went inside the captain's room for a more private chat. When Damian arrived on his ship, all the crew couldn't take their gazes off him.

"So this is the first-ranked person? He looks scary!" one of the crew members said.

"I thought he would be bigger..." another one said.

Damian ignored it, entering the captain's room and sitting in a comfortable chair before a desk.

"I'm Radagak. I know, a strange name for someone like you," Radagak said.

Radagak was a middle-aged man native to the dungeon, he looked healthy, young for his age, with green hair different from anything Damian had ever seen.

"Not strange at all. You can call me Dawn, by the way," Damian said.

Dawn was his identity inside the tower to prevent others from knowing who he was, as that would only bring him trouble.

"So, what do you want to talk about?" Radagak said.

Damian pondered his words, then said, "Did you see any land around here?"

"Land?"

The way Radagak said and moved his eyebrows was a sign that he knew something. Damian could see that. He was closely watching Radagak, his movements and tiny things that could give him the needed answers.

"The tower does not want us to fight against each other. Sure, fights happen sometimes, but it is not the goal of this place. This is not a naval fight, but a competition of whom finds land."

"You are right," Radagak said, laying back on the chair, "but why do you think I should share some information with you, then? Isn't it easier for me to find the land first?"

That was within Damian's expectations. Despite Radagak being friendly, it was still a competition, so no one wanted to give away their chances of being the first.

"You have a point, but I could follow you by ship and find land too."

"Why are you so certain I won't attack you?" Radagak said, staring intensely into Damian's eyes.

"If you try something, you and all your crewmates will  die."

The way Damian said that was cold and indifferent, and for some reason, Radagak did not feel safe listening to it. He said nothing briefly, thinking about what he had heard.

"Fine, I can take you there. One of my guys can sense the land, but when we reach it, we will part ways. The best of us find the exit to the next level first."

"Deal."

Damian left the ship in high spirits, happy that his interaction with Radagak went in the right direction, and now he had a way to find land!

"So, how was it?"

The crew asked him the moment he jumped from the other ship to his, and Damian happily said, "They can sense land somehow and are willing to lead the way for us! But once we arrive, we will do our thing, and they will do theirs."

Everyone smiled after hearing the good news and soon returned to their chores within the ship, taking care so it sailed smoothly through the sea, following Radagak's ship closely.

Damian was still behind the wheel and could not wait to leave the dangerous sea and go to land, but despite that, a level of the Skyfall Tower wouldn't be so easy, and Damian wanting something meant nothing to that place.
