Eldritch Creature’s Guide - Chapter 277 Cleaning Up And Moving Forward

Samiel enjoyed watching the island burn when they exterminated the Green Beast Pirates to the last Greenskin. Probably Juulius enjoyed it even more, considering his personal hatred for the Greenskins.

Though at the same time, he was already getting bored with the 11th Floo… spending time on the ship wasn’t as enjoyable as one could have thought and it was just not for him.

In the end, he decided to procure the bounties as soon as possible so he could complete the Advancement Quest issued by the Tower’s Systema and move forward toward the next Floors.

Not to mention, the challenges he faced on these lower floors were relatively low considering either his personal power or the army of Undead that was already steadily forming under his command.

Samiel stood on the deck of his battleship, together with Juulius and Yvraine, as they were observing the island where the Green Beast Pirates resided burning, under the might of magical flames that were devouring everything in their path.

“I think that I have spent enough time on the seas for the upcoming centuries…”

He muttered silently, though both Yvraine and Juulius heard him clearly. While Juulius didn’t care about being on land or seas, Yvraine would certainly prefer some nice forest contrary to the endless waves of the ocean and water.

For the Silvermoon Elf like her, while this environment wasn’t the worst one, it wasn’t certainly the preferable one.

Meanwhile, they were observing the burning island; Samiel was holding a green blob in his right hand, which was the soul of the Ork Boss Bagtork that he collected to aid the chaos that was on the island when the forces of the Hall fought against the Green menace.

In the end, he stuffed the soul of the Ork Boss Bagtork in his mouth and gulped it down in one go as he went through the memories of the Orks to find something useful.

Unfortunately, while his proficiency with the Level 3 Ultimate Ability Soul Devour was high enough, Bagtork didn’t know anything useful for him.

Aside from the location of some powerful pirates that were hiding in the Northern Ocean Area and even the Pirate King, who was hiding here in his secret lair, he didn’t obtain much from the soul.

Aside from the weird aftertaste, because Bagtork was a worshipper of the Green Gods, he felt some slight increase in his power and his comprehension of the Orkish Language became much better.

[Proficiency with the Level 3 Ultimate Ability Soul Devour has been increased by 1%.]

From all the souls he consumed, one thing that he obtained aside from the memories was comprehension of languages, which were instant ones and now his proficiency with the Orkish language was top-notch.

Naturally, from each soul he obtained, he gained a shitton of information, mainly about the martial arts, weapon masteries and other things that he never bothered properly learn because it would take too much time.

Having memories and having proficiency was one thing after another.

While he obtained memories about various katas and moves that didn’t equal the immediate mastery and he would need to practice the moves properly and everything to gain geniue proficiency in some art.

“Where are we going next?”

Juulius asked his master as they were all observing the burning island, as the flames had already devoured the entirety of the small landmass and soon enough, nothing aside from ash and residual magic would remain there.

“Several weeks worth of journey from here, there is Pirate King hiding there in a secret lair he constructed there… someone at the peak of the Silver-Tier should be a worthy opponent for me.”

Samiel said that as he received memories of the Cpatain of the Green Beast Pirates Bagtork, he was aware of all secrets of that the Ork knew.

“As you command, My Lord.”

Juulius gave his master bow before he excused himself from the deck.

Soon after, the battleship started moving forward, away from the burning island, further into the open sea. Samiel’s familiar Nefertari was sleeping soundly in her place, which she claimed to be her nest and occasionally observing happenings around her.

Like normal cats, even Nefertari, despite being an “abnormal” cat was a normal cat in this, as she liked a heightened place to take a nap. Mainly because it was instinctively safer for her and at the same time, she had a nice view of everything that was happening on the deck.

***

Several days have passed since they annihilated the Green Beast Pirates and were still on the open sea. Their journey towards the hideout of the Pirate King, who was hiding in the Northern Ocean Area.

Samiel spent most of his time by comprehending the mysteries of the arcane and, together with Yvraine, in their room, as his Silvermoon Elven Princess was feeling pretty much cuddly and in the mood for some naughty time alone.

The next day after leaving the unnamed island of the Green Beast Pirates, Samiel practiced the Nuclear Void Mana Control Method and devoured all of the Mana Crystals like crazy, but unfortunately, he didn’t manage to break through and reach the next level.

“What are you thinking again?”

Yvraine asked Samiel as they were lying on the bed after an intense season of naughty activities and both of them were equally tired. Due to the experience, Yvraine gained from their lovemaking; she was slowly learning how to suck Samiel dry.

“That I want to get away from this sea and oceans already….”

He said briefly and Yvraine agreed with him too…

“I think that if I spent even more time here, I would get sea sickness from everything…”

Yvraine muttered; even to her, spending months on the waters was something already annoying…

“We just need to deal with the Pirate King and then we will be completing the Advancement Qeust and could finally move forward… I already want to reach the higher floors… the lower ones are not providing any sense of danger to me.”

Samiel said casually because he was already nearing the competition of the Advancement Quest.
