Strongest Necromancer System Chapter 1157: The Water Threaders

Arte looked up at Jason with a playful smile.

"Tsara thinks you’re like the handsome princes from her storybooks."

"ARTE!"

Tsara suddenly shouted her brother’s name angrily, and Arte leaned away with an amused laugh. Tsara was blushing furiously, and she felt like going up there and beating Arte for what he just said. Although Arte’s ability was very powerful, Arte was still just a child, and he didn’t understand what it meant to reveal someone’s deepest thought so nonchalantly, so it was nearly impossible to control what the little boy said sometimes. Arte’s power was almost like mind-reading, but it went even further beyond that. Arte unraveled the truth from people, and he could reach that truth even if you tried to hide it from him. It reminded Jason almost of Hesabeth’s ability that made her loved by the world. It was as if Arte had a direct connection to the world, and the world would always whisper the truth into Arte’s ear and make him know what people were really thinking or feeling at the moment.

So everyone knew that what Arte just said was true, and Tsara felt like sinking into the ground when she saw both Jason and Valeria giving her curious looks. But Jason did his best to ignore Arte’s words as he changed the topic.

"Tsara, if you have any issues, then just let me know."

Tsara quickly looked back at Jason when she heard this, and Tsara felt her cheeks growing redder when she realised that Jason was trying to be considerate of her. Tsara nodded to Jason’s words and thanked him again before a voice spoke up from behind.

"Arte, don’t disturb the captain when he’s driving."

Stella came in through the cockpit entrance with a drink for Jason, and Arte pouted as he shuffled off Jason’s lap and ran up to Valeria instead. Stella bowed beside Jason and offered him the drink, and Jason thanked her as he took it before speaking up.

"When we get to Capri, I’ll go down with Valeria while you three stay on the ship. We should only be gone for a few days, but if we aren’t, I’ll send a message to tell you what’s going on."

Stella nodded to Jason’s order, and Stella turned towards Valeria and asked her to please look out for her master. Valeria slapped Arte’s hand away when she saw him reaching for one of the controls on the dashboard, and Valeria answered nonchalantly.

"Whatever."

Stella narrowed her eyes slightly at this, but she didn’t have any choice but to accept it, and she turned to leave. Valeria was still a little cold towards the other people on the ship, and she only really opened up to Jason in the past few days. But Valeria knew that Stella asking her to look out for Jason was pointless. Jason was far stronger than Valeria, and Jason also had his army with him, so what exactly was Valeria meant to do for him? If anything, Jason was the one who would be looking after her.

The rest of the trip passed by really quickly, and it wasn’t long before they got to the spot where they were meant to open the Dimensional Tear. Valeria turned and made the announcement to Jason, and Jason sent a mental message to the ship, telling it to open the Dimensional Tear. The ship immediately began to draw mana from Jason’s body, and Jason allowed it to take as much mana as it needed. This mana was sent through the ship’s power lines, and Jason watched as the ship unleashed a pulse of blue light into the space in front of it.

DOON!

A massive Dimensional Tear that looked more like a wormhole than an actual Dimensional Tear suddenly ripped open in front of them. Arte let out a stunned cry when he saw that massive blue wormhole, and he ran to the front of the ship to try and get a better look at it. Valeria checked a few coordinates to make sure that they were really in the right place before she turned to Jason and nodded confidently, and then Jason pressed his hand on the silver orbs in front of him and sent them forward.

[Eastern Sea Route of The Capri Central Ocean]

The Capri Central Ocean was seen as the most dangerous body of water within the world of Capri. Capri was home to multiple dangerous water-type beasts that went out of their way to attack any traveller who dared to enter into their waters, but the central ocean was seen as even more dangerous than any other body of water because it was believed that this was where the Kraken, ruler of the ocean, lived. But even with all the rumours and speculations about the monsters living in here, there were still people capable of travelling across the ocean with ease.

A massive mana-powered ship made its way across the open waters of the Capri Central Ocean. The ship was built from metal and wood in a blend of old and new that made it seem like something that had been thrown together hastily. There were no masts or sails on the ship, and the entire structure moved using two large rotor blades attached to the back of the ship and powered by pure magic.

This ship belonged to the group of pirates known as the Water Threaders. They were special traders who were famous for helping to move products across the ocean, and they were known to be some of the best ocean navigators in the world of Capri. Unlike most other pirates who do their best to avoid the ocean, the Water Threaders had spent years plotting out a perfect map of the ocean that would allow them to travel across most water bodies in this world without any fear at all. Capri was a world separated into three main territories, but the water territory ruled by the Kraken was known to be further separated into multiple smaller territories that were ruled by some of the most dangerous water beasts to ever exist.

It had been years since anyone had actually seen the large Kraken that ruled the water, but any traveller that dared to enter one of the smaller territories in the ocean would always get attacked by the beasts that live there. After moving across this ocean for so long, the Threaders had mastered the exact places that they could or couldn’t go in the ocean, and this allowed them to travel from one island to another in their search for treasure and trade.

The ship was currently filled with many crew members, and they were making their way back to their headquarters after three months at sea transporting cargo. There were large crates of rare mana stones and gold on the ship that they had gotten as payment for their work, and they planned to head towards the central town to finally get some rest. All the crew members knew that they would be eating good when they finally returned home. But unfortunately for the crew, it would take a much longer time for them to get home.

DOON!

There was a sudden explosion of mana from somewhere above the ship, and the crew members moving across the deck all looked up in shock as they wondered what was going on. The crew on the ship were made up of many different races from many different worlds, and one of them was a short man with goat legs and goat horns growing out of his forehead. This man was responsible for cleaning and maintaining the ship, and he was the first person to realise what was happening at the moment.

"A ship is coming through!"
