Fantastic Beasts of Records: Lecherous Prince Of The Sea

Chapter 87 A Show With An..... Explosion

?The water washed over our ship, and my crewmen packed and threw them back into the sea as they threatened to drag us down and sink our ship. Meanwhile, I switched off my flames and threw one more rope to Toothless.

The next mutated beast to take care of was the one currently fighting against Annabelle's summon.

So I had to wait until I could hear Toothless confirmation before I switched on the flames back.

Several meters away from our ship, the spirit and mutated sea beast were waging an all-out war against each other. However, I knew that it would only be a matter of minutes until Toothless was done with her task.

I breathed out loudly, trying to catch my breath, only for a Toothless voice to sound in my head.

Wasting no time, I immediately ignited the flames around me.

One...

Two…..

Already knowing how many seconds it took for the bomb to explode, I immediately ordered Toothless back and shielded my eyes from the aftereffects.

"BOOOOOMMMM!!!"

Waiting for a few more seconds to catch my bearing was easy, but...

"SQUEAK!!! SQUEAKKK!!!!"

The world around me froze as my flames burned through time and slowed it down.

I knew that sound. My vision blurred as I turned to the side to look at the familiar creature.

Now that it was greatly injured after being brutally hit by the explosion with its flesh swimming around and mixing with the sea, before getting carried away by the rough waves, I could finally get a good look at who my opponents were.

"SQEAUK!!!"

And I saw it, the beast of my torment, the scourge to my bones. The subject of my only greatest inequity and my most satisfying achievement.

Floating on the surface of the water, was a dolphin. A dolphin with tentacles for its lower body. Although I wanted to know the science behind such anatomy, or the magical bullshit behind such a specimen, my hate and absolute disgust for dolphins, blinded my thoughts and shrouded them with only one voice ringing continuously in my inner mind.

'PURGE!!' A painful headache spiked from the back of my head.

"PURGE!!!"

One course, I could have restrained my actions because of the raging sea that brought me out of my stupor, but when looking at a replica of the beast that gave my transmigration more meaning than it should have, why should I?

Quickly untieing the next rope, I flung it towards the tentacle dolphin, but not before temporarily igniting my flames and then switching them off instantly.

With the dolphin so close to my ship as we drifted away further and further, needless to say-----

"BOOOOOMMMBB!!!"

The view in front of my vision turned white.

The force was enough to push us forward while the body parts of the monstrosity that I have just exterminated were scattered into tiny fragmented bits and pieces, falling from the sky and into the sea with a heavy downpour.

Explosions might be my newfound addiction.

….......

"WHAT?"

He closed the document in front of him. Lightly putting it back into the drawer under his desk, he intertwined his fingers together and looked at the now-shivering crewman in front of him.

Resting his chin above his fingers, he asked "What do you mean by she is gone?".

"I- I -I---"

The crewman stuttered, looking for the right words to alleviate the consequences of his actions, however, there was nothing he could say as he stammered and failed to utter even a single understandable statement.

Captain Crimson stared at his crewmen with a scowl. However, he didn't let it show on his face. But needless to say, the growing irritable expression surging and spreading through his every being could not be hidden.

"I gave you one job!! You had only one job!!!" He said, unconsciously raising his voice higher and higher with every word he uttered "And yet, you let her escape… How? Please, tell me how that was possible?".

"Captain" The man in front of him wanted to beg his way out of this with words. However, he understood the gravity of his sins and knew that words only were not enough.

He quickly slumped down on his knees, his four limbs holding onto the wooden floor, with his forehead pressed intensely on the ground, he prostrated.

"Please, forgive me, Captain. I didn't know when she sneaked out, I swear. She only told me that she wanted to take a bath, and before I knew it, she was nowhere to be found" He uttered helplessly in defeat while bowing his head in submission.

"Is that the way it went?"

"Yes, Captain, that was how everything happened!! The woman deceived me and made cruel use of my hospitality. Give me another chance, I am sure that I can find her, please!! She couldn't have gone far" He said, nearing the desk after every sentence.

Nevertheless, his cries fell deaf ears. He was pleading to a man who hated nothing but failure, a man who always thinks several steps ahead of his opponent to give them a decisive defeat.

And yet, he wanted forgiveness. Sure, Captain Crimson eye was a man who always believed in second chances as he knew that everyone was not above making mistakes.

Hell! Even his father wasn't exempted because if not, he wouldn't have lost everything and retired with only his half-baked fame and title.

However, this was a very delicate task where mistakes were not an option.

"Jerry" He called out to his trusted second-in-command who always stood beside him as always.

"Yes, Captain".

"Call the 27th fleet and tell them we have one more prisoner. I want them to feed the bones of this man to the still-growing Dipper snake and then throw his remains among the carcasses in the sea".

"Okay, Captain" Jerry responded "And what do we do about the runaway Lady Clara?"

Captain Crimson eye hummed under his breath, cracking his fingers as he pinched one hand over the other "Send two ships to the frozen bridge port. I guess that Lady Clara might have escaped into Prince Wyatt's ship when we weren't looking….. That's if, of course, she isn't hiding somewhere on this ship".

A sharp glint passed through Jerry's eyes "Are we going to intercept Prince Wyatt's ship Captain? Isn't that going to be a little off-putting for the Prince considering that we want him to join us but yet going to apprehend him just to search his ship like a criminal?".

Captain Crimson eye gritted his teeth "I don't care. Compared to Lady Clara who is a suitable puppet, Prince Wyatt is still a wild card in my plans. So there is no telling what he will do next?"

He continued "I would rather risk offending him than let an important piece like Lady Clara go".

Jerry nodded his head in understanding, while a small unnoticeable light dawned on his expression "Do you want me to partake and lead in the search Captain?".

Captain Crimson eye turned to look at Jerry "No, you are to stay here and continue with your task. Just assign the task to any of the ships under me that you deemed competent enough for the task" He replied " If there is nothing else, you can go".

"Alright, Captain" Jerry answered, before he walked to the still-shivering man prostrated against the wooden floor.

Raising a hand, he struck it against the back of his head and watched as the man collapsed on the ground.

Grabbing the unconscious man and balancing him on top of his shoulders, Jerry walked out of the room.

….......

"Amazing" I said to myself while looking at the frozen lands in front of me.

It couldn't even be called a land but instead seemed as though part of the sea was frozen to the extreme, thus forming the cold icy land in front of him that stretched out over for miles ahead.

"Yes, as dangerous as the phenomenon is, it is indeed amazing" Annabelle who was close to me as we rested above the handle at the edge of the ship said.

"But we will have to stop here if we don't want to become frozen solid too and become part of its beauty".

"Alright, we will stop here today and continue tomorrow morning" I replied.

Although it was tempting to keep on going now, I was sure that not everyone had the energy to do so after just experiencing that rough storm.

And besides, everywhere was still dark with the moon and its radiance reflecting against the smooth surface of the frozen lands in front of us. And also, I needed to try something that I have been delaying before we continue.

"Okay Captain" Annabelle said, before walking towards the door.

Gesturing for the attention of one of my crewmen, I watched as he quickly ran over and stopped in front of me.

"Take her to her room" I said while pointing a finger at Annabelle.

He then nodded his head and quickly ran towards her to keep her from getting lost.
