NOVEL NEXT Chapter 227: chapter 227- Antaboga ll
In an unknown ocean area, a ship is sailing with a Giant Snake carcass wrapped around the ship.
It can be seen that the ship's crew is busy trying to cut the carcass of the giant snake which has very hard scales.
Seen on the top deck at the ship's control room, two people were talking, one was wearing a captain's hat and holding the ship's controls, and the other had a shabby face and long, messy black hair.
"Capt, Are you sure about leaving those two behind, they seem a good beast to me"
Said the man with long, messy black hair, to the person wearing the captain's hat.
"... We don't have a choice, If we stay there a bit longer those big Snakes are probably going to attack us"
"But what if the two of them survived? Wouldn't they be very angry when they found out that we left them?"
Said the man with long black hair again, but the captain who heard that seemed to sneer.
"... Survive? From that Countless Big Snake? Pfft~ It's Impossible"
Said The Captain In a Sarcastic way.
"..."
"What with those faces? We're a group of fugitives you know, since when do we care about others when it comes to our safety?... Never!"
"But, I still have a bad feeli-"
"Stop! Don't say something useless, Go see where the nearest island is. We'll sell the crystal ball we got. It looks very valuable"
"But... That Crystal is-"
"SHUT UP! ROBERTS!! JUST DO WHAT I TOLD YOU!!! WILL YOU?!!!"
"... Yes, Captain"
Said Roberts, who then used the lubber's hole to climb to the highest a
Place of the ship to survey their surroundings.
After looking around and not seeing the silhouette of a single island, Roberts looked at the Captain.
"CAPT-... "
Roberts wanted to shout to inform his captain about the situation he saw, but he stopped because his eyes caught a silhouette like a small shadow dot in the sky from a distance and slowly approached; Roberts narrowed his eyes to focus his gaze on the black dot in the sky.
"!!!"
'Shit! It's the Snake!?'
"CAPTAIN! LOOK!!"
Roberts shouted at the Captain while pointing at the black shadowy dot he saw, but the Captain and the other crew members' eyesight was not as good as Roberts', so they didn't know what Roberts was pointing at.
"... What?"
The Captain asked, and now all the crew's gazes were on Roberts.
"It's them, Captain, I- It's the BIG SNAKE!!
" What, Roberts? We didn't see anything... If you are that boring, why you just don't jump into the sea?"
The Captain said it as a joke, and the crew laughed when they heard it, but they didn't expect Roberts to actually jump into the sea from such a height.
"..."
"..."
They were all silent for a moment after the unexpected incident, and after coming to their senses they all immediately ran to the edge of the ship to see how Roberts was doing, but what they saw was that Roberts had swam away from the ship.
"HY, ROBERTS! WHAT ARE YOU THINKING YOU'RE DOING?! COMEBACK HERE!!!"
The Captain shouted, but as if not hearing him, Roberts continued to swim away from them.
"What? What's wrong with that guy? Capt, should we bring him back?"
Asked one of the ship's crew, who was next to the Captain, who also saw Roberts swimming far away from the ship.
"No, Let him just die in the ocea-"
*Shake! Shake!*
The Captain couldn't continue his sentence because their ship suddenly shook as if it had been hit by a large wave, and along with the shaking, a sound that could make all the hairs on one's body stand on end was heard.
"... He's The Genius one, He will definitely live a long life, unlike you all who will die here and now"
"!!!"
Hearing this, everyone on the ship immediately turned towards the voice, and there they saw Antaboga looking at them from the air, and the flapping of his two pairs of wings produced a wind that created waves that hit their ship.
"I Only Gave You One Easy Task, Which Was To Deliver The Lotus Crystal Ball To The Most Established Human On The Mainland And Let Them Take Care Of The Crystal, But You Guys Ended Up Killing My Minions"
".. O-oh, S- Sir, It's n-not us who k-k-kill y-your Minions, I- It's the t-two-"
The Captain defended what Antaboga said, and of course, he knew that it wasn't them who killed one of his minions, but that still didn't get them out of trouble.
"Enough!! I Won't Accept Any Excuses Because That Doesn't Cover Up The Fact That You Guys Are Trying To Do Something Bad To The Crystal. Hand Over The Crystal Right Now!!"
"Y- Yes! Yes!! You, Go take that Crystal!"
The Captain's order to one of the crew members, who, when he heard the Captain's order, immediately ran into the Captain's cabin.
"S-sir we will hand over the Crystal to you, so, please spare our lives"
"..."
Finding Antaboga silent, the Captain looked increasingly panicked and spoke in a stuttering voice.
"I- I- I will S- Sacrifice all of my Crew, so please just S- Spare my life, Sir, I beg you"
Said the Captain, but still got no reaction from Antaboga but the crew who heard the Captain wanted to sacrifice them for his own safety burned with anger.
"What?! You want to Sacrifice us for your own sake? You Son of a Bitch!!"
"WHAT? WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT? I'M THE CAPTAIN! SO! WHAT'S WRONG WITH SACRIFICING YOU ALL?! HUH?!"
"Y-YOU SON OF A BITCH!! I WILL KILL YOU BEFORE THAT HAPPEN, DIE!!!"
After that, a big fight broke out between the ship's crew and the Captain, along with the fight, the crew who had been ordered to take the crystal from the Captain's cabin had returned, and seeing the crystal, both eyes of one of Antaboga's five heads lit up, and then a strong wind was created and blew towards the crew who was carrying the crystal, and immediately made it float in the air, and was immediately carried by the wind to approach Antaboga.
The crew screamed in panic, but Antaboga ignored them and immediately swallowed the crew member along with the crystal he was holding.
"SIR! I HAVE WON, SO NOW YOU WILL SPARE ME, RIGHT?"
The Captain shouted, who was currently kneeling on the floor, with blood all over his body and one of his arms severed, and around the Captain lay six lifeless crew members.
"... What? When did I ever make a stupid promise like that? You guys just fight on your own and for unknown reasons"
"Wh- But, I... I already... Alrea-"
"It seems you already lost your Mind, so it's time to die"
Said Antaboga. Then, the eye of his second head from the right lit up red, and then he breathed fire from his mouth, a breath of fire that then burned the ship along with the Captain, who seemed to have lost his mind.
"Now... Who should I give this crystal to? With my appearance, I can't go to human settlements... It seems like the day he will be reborn is still a long way off"
Said Antaboga who then chose to return to his place.
-------------
- With Taufik and Gaia.
In the large pool, Gaia was seen sitting beside Taufik while leaning her head on Taufik's shoulder. They both sat naked and without speaking, just purely enjoying their time.
"... Gaia, can I ask something?"
Said Taufik, which destroyed the comfortable tranquility.
"Hm~ What is it, Honey?" Your next chapter is on m v|l-e'm,p y r
Said Gaia, who was still leaning her head on Taufik's shoulder while closing her eyes.
"... Do you know A Maid named Mathilde?"
"..."
Hearing Taufik's question, Gaia finally opened her eyes and looked at Taufik directly in the eye.
"... You didn't forget what I said before, right?"
"Aww~ Cmon Gaia, I'm just asking, there's something strange with that girl, so Tell me, If you know something about her"
Hearing Taufik's reply, Gaia finally leaned her head back on Taufik's shoulder.
"... Mathilde, huh? It may seem ridiculous, but there's not much information about her"
"Eh? But why do you keep her here?"
Taufik asked in surprise after hearing Gaia's answer.
"Simple because she is hardworking and diligent, also, she always finishes the work quickly, that is why"
"what about her origin, where did she come from? You probably know about that, right?"
"No, I didn't, She's just basically appeared so suddenly like that in around the Big tree... She said that she didn't have any memory of that day, so out of pity I hired her as a maid"
"Just show up out of nowhere? And you can easily trust her just like that? Really?"
"Hm~ Yap~ More or less is like that, but I can say loudly that she, Mathilde is not a bad person, or has any ill intentions towards this kingdom, so you don't need to worry"
"If you say so, bu-"
*Tok~Tok~Tok*
Taufik stopped talking when the sound of a knock on the door was heard from outside.
"What Is It?"
"Your Majesty, we received news that Lord Lembuswana and Lord Nāgāntaka have returned"
