The First Magic World War-Chapter 276 - : 269, Infiltrating the Slave Ship

Chapter 276: 269, Infiltrating the Slave Ship

Charles had abandoned many of his early weapons and equipment.

For example, the second-hand Magnum Hand Shuttle that had followed him from the start, the Vampiric Hand Axe, and the magic alchemy staff he had later crafted for a considerable sum of money.

There were also some fine pieces of equipment that Charles had never really used, such as the assassin’s Dagger, the two fingerless glove-shaped magic gun pouches, as well as the Crystal Vase and Bag of Insects obtained in Cappadocia City, and the Transcendent Knight’s Spear he acquired from killing Zolman.

Originally, the assassin’s Dagger had Antispace attributes and was a good infiltration weapon, but Charles had long since mastered the Colorless Blade, an inherent special ability that was more convenient than using equipment.

The magic gun pouches were spatial equipment, which had a significant disadvantage—their inability to be concealed. Once searched, they could never be hidden again, so they couldn’t be carried around.

As Charles checked his extraordinary items, he recalled three Extraordinary Objects that weren’t in his possession: the Dark Luxury had been taken by Princess May, who Charles didn’t dare to ask for it back; the Lion Maru – Whale Killer was still with Sophia Garanord, whom he needed to ask for it; the Silver Knight was with Belisa, an extraordinary object he could ask for at any time, but he had no use for it once retrieved.

Apart from weapons, Charles needed to enhance his own strength as well.

In the South Seraph Region, he had fought fiercely with Chloe, dedicating every day to his cultivation, and Bloody Glory had accumulated to an incredibly robust level.

In the Old Continent, all cultivation systems classified the ranks of Transcendents according to the intensity of energy, except for Protagora’s Bloody Glory, which initially distinguished ranks by the number of Bloody Vortexes one had opened.

The ranks set by Protagora were not precise. After all, most of the Blood Clan opened only one Bloody Vortex. In actuality, many who practiced Bloody Glory only opened one or two Bloody Vortexes, but if they accumulated enough Blood Energy to be sufficiently potent, they were still regarded as Intermediate rank or even High-Level Transcendents.

Charles had now opened nine Bloody Vortexes, but in fact, he had converted Bloody Glory into Stellar Battle Qi, which was far beyond the Ninth Rank or even Tenth Grade, and had stepped into the eleventh level, not far from High-Level Transcendent.

It was unlikely that Bloody Glory itself could be improved much further in a short time, but Charles wanted to master the special ability of the Magic Flame Horse in the next few days.

Each progress in his Adonis Clan’s Secret Technique would delay the arrival of Kahnstan. With over two months left before Kahnstan’s arrival, if he could master the Magic Flame Horse, he could delay it by another two or three months.

The Magic Flame Horse, almost without a physical form, could walk on any kind of ground, including hills, swamps, water surfaces, and even dash through seas of fire, making it the ideal mount.

After losing the Dark Luxury, Charles had longed for the Magic Flame Horse, but his upcoming mission had intensified his desire for the creature.

The Magic Flame Horse could gallop over water, quickly as lightning even over the open sea, making it an excellent aid in escaping danger.

To infiltrate St. Michael Island, Charles’s greatest need was to ensure his own survival, and the Magic Flame Horse aid greatly in this regard.

In the following days, Charles devoted himself to the intensive study of the Adonis Clan’s Secret Technique, even temporarily giving up the refinement of other secret techniques within Bloody Glory.

However, the efforts of the past few days were clearly insufficient to break through a special ability.

When Menilman informed him that the slave ship had already reached the designated sea area, Charles could only regretfully board the merchant ship prepared for him, and left Cappadocia City.

The plan designated by Menilman was quite simple. When the merchant ship approached the slave ship, it would attempt to “seek help,” pretending to have lost fresh water in a storm. Regardless of whether the slave ship agreed to assist or not, it would be detained for a moment, and that moment was enough for Charles, a Transcendent, to infiltrate the slave ship.

The plan was simple but also quite practical.

About five or six days after sailing out of Cappadocia City, the merchant ship Charles was on encountered a large ship painted with a black seagull on the open sea.

As the merchant ship was about to approach, the large ship with the black seagull fired several cannon shots. Although they were just ordinary cannonballs, it startled the people on the merchant ship.

To conceal the operation, the people aboard the merchant ship were unaware of the plan. They only knew to approach the slave ship, but with the large ship painted with the black seagull opening fire, where would the merchant ship dare to get closer?

The merchant ship quickly turned around and hurriedly fled. The large ship with the black seagull pursued for a while before giving up and returning on its course towards St. Michael Island.

During the chase between the two ships, Charles didn’t take action but instead leaped into the sea. Relying on his Transcendent strength, he dived beneath the surface to the bottom of the slave ship and activated the Colorless Blade, grabbing onto the underside of the ship.

Charles clung to the pirate ship as it turned around and set sail back towards St. Michael Island. Only then did he use his skills to quietly climb aboard.

This was just an ordinary pirate ship, and there were no other Transcendents on board. Charles, proficient in the Quickness Technique, moved through the ship as if it was uninhabited, completely undetected by anyone.

The slave ship had about a hundred crew members, with the slaves being transported in the lower deck cabins. The lower deck cabins were, of course, cramped and stifling, making them unbearable. Charles didn’t go down to suffer in advance but instead found a hidden spot on the ship to hide. It was only a few days later when he overheard from the crew that they were half a day away from St. Michael Island that he used the Beast God Shapeshifting Art to transform into a small, “weak” Hunchback Red Bear youth, just two paces tall.

He didn’t need to do anything; he only had to show his face in the lower deck cabin to be mistaken by a few crew members as a Beastman slave who had escaped from the bottom layer. He was caught on the spot and pushed back into the lower deck.

As soon as he was stuffed into the lower deck, Charles almost vomited. The smell was terrible, but what was worse was the space being too cramped. The Beastmen couldn’t even stand up straight, let alone sit with their heads raised. Many of the Beastman slaves had a dull look in their eyes, becoming numb under such torment.

Charles found it extremely unbearable, this kind of human trafficking, but he also knew that this was not the time for him to play the hero. He had no choice but to curl up like the other Beastmen, trying his best to make himself small.

Initially, Charles was somewhat reluctant to infiltrate St. Michael Island, but upon seeing these Beastman slaves, he suddenly didn’t regret agreeing to this task anymore.

Curled up, Charles could do nothing else but slowly circulate the Bloodthirsty Fighting Spirit Technique. Even though resuming his human form would allow him to regain his strength, having a bit more combat power at hand while in the Beastman form might be useful in times of need.

Seeing these Beastmen who were treated like livestock and thinking about how humans were also trafficked in the same way, he secretly vowed that as soon as he got out, he would definitely annihilate St. Michael Island, putting an end to the slave trade in the Whale Sea.
