Chapter 475: Pirating in Unexplored Waters (1/2)

While Sloth and Daisy clean the portal and check Its enchantments, Lucien can"t stop worrying about something. And the girls can see that on his face.

"What is it? What"s worrying you?" Eve taps his shoulder and asks.

He looks at some of his troops standing around the mine. "Not taking them on this journey seemed like a good idea, but I don"t feel good about it."

l.u.s.t materializes her body on the other side of him. "You"re quite possessive and overprotective, so it makes sense to feel that way."

"Maybe we can take them..." Eve comments. "We have a lot of resources now, right?"

"Yes, we do." Sloth hears the conversation and responds. "But I don"t think it"s a good idea. The Blue Star is a dangerous medium world, and your troops are still unprepared for the challenges we"ll encounter there."

l.u.s.t nods. "Exactly. They better stay here and wait for us to get back. In the meantime, they"ll keep getting stronger because your demonic energy inside them doesn"t just disappear."

"Also..." Sloth makes a thoughtful expression. "We would have to use a lot of life crystals to take all your troops with us. However, we can use these crystals to strengthen them while we are in the Blue Star."

"But what about the affinity issue?" Lucien asks.

l.u.s.t understands Sloth"s intention and quickly explains. "You"re the solution... I mean, you"ve been giving life mana to all your girls all this time, plus our demonic energy. I think that"s enough so they can drink a few life mana potions without suffering any risk."

Sloth nods and continues. "Also, you could use your secret ingredients, making the potion even better for them. If they take one of these potions every month for a year, it might be enough to get them to the Earth Realm."

"The Earth Realm?" Pride materializes her body and shakes her head. "Bulls.h.i.+t! What kind of miracle potion could make it??"

l.u.s.t smiles. "You underestimate Lucien"s special milk."

Sloth nods. "Yeah, his seeds can do it; I know from my own experience."

Amelia and Sophia just blush, but Donna and Eve want to dig a hole to hide.

"What the h.e.l.l is this conversation?!?!" Donna asks as she tries to hide her embarra.s.sed expression.

Lucien smiles and looks at Daisy. "Daisy, how many potions can you make in one day?"

"I can make many cauldrons at the same time, but..." She quickly responds but then started to blush. "But if you want to put your c... thing in them, it might be more complicated."

l.u.s.t starts stroking Lucien"s c.o.c.k. "Give them a nice lovemaking session, and I"ll collect the excess that comes out inside their bodies."

"Sounds good." Lucien feels less bad about abandoning his troops if giving them a good reward and material so they can continue getting stronger. They will still be sad that they can"t have s.e.x with him for some time, but taking them to another world now would be too risky, and that would slow them down a lot.

"I could go back to Portgreen with Daisy while she makes the potions and I take care of the troops. That would also be a good time for Rose to take her father home, and we can meet here in four days. What about it?" He suggests.

"That would also give me time to make sure the portal is working perfectly." Sloth comments.

"Sounds good." Eve and Pride agree at the same time.

Sophia doesn"t like to be away from Lucien for more than a few minutes, but she understands that it"s necessary while Amelia quickly moves to his side, making it clear that she"s going with him to Portgreen.

Donna, however, has a strange expression on her face. "Four days? Will it be enough time for... all of them??"

The girls start laughing while Lucien nods. "If I focus on that task and don"t sleep… yes, that"s more than enough time."

Wasting no time, they put the plan into action. Donna stays in the mine with Sophia, Helena, Genevieve, and Lucien"s other wives while Sloth finishes preparing the Portal.

Lucien goes to Portgreen with Daisy and Amelia and spends all his time with his troops on the stone s.h.i.+ps.

Eve and Pride go with Rose to the eastern continent to take Heike home.

Four days later, they gather in front of the portal again, everyone ready for the journey.

Like Sophia, Amelia and Daisy have frustrated expressions on their face. They want the same thing, but Lucien can"t pay attention to them right now as he wants so badly to go to the Blue Star to find his other sisters and the Phoenix.

So Sloth activates the portal, creating a watery surface within the stone arch.

"Is everyone ready?" Lucien asks.

"Yes." All the girls nod.

He opens the portal to the purple world, and all the women with his tattoo enter it. Then Lucien and the other girls enter the Blue Star portal.

Just like when Lucien and his sisters entered the portal in their homeworld, they see everything go dark while their bodies seem to be adrift, floating in the void, or rather, interworld s.p.a.ce.

For them, that feels like a few seconds, but actually, the distance between Argerim and the Blue Star is gigantic, so they spend almost a week traveling in the interworlds s.p.a.ce until they see a blue light.

The group is pushed into that blue light, and then everyone comes out of the portal and realizes they are shrouded in water, like at the bottom of the ocean.

Without Angela and her daughters to make their way through the water smoothly, Lucien and his group swim to the surface that appears to be less than a hundred meters above.

Even in the water, Lucien can see that Eve, Daisy, Genevieve, and Helena are fine. Yet, as they get out of the water, he quickly asks. "Is everyone alright?"

"Yeah." The girls nod; however, Eve quickly notices a glow coming from Lucien"s waist. "Luci..."

He also notices that and sees that the Ghost Lady"s blade is glowing blue. He picks up the sword and feels Its energy getting aroused. "What is happening?"

l.u.s.t materializes her body and comments. "Perhaps these are repressed memories? We know those cursed swords came from the Blue and Brown Stars."

"Hmm..." Lucien can"t quite understand anything about the Ghost Lady other than the fact that she likes his demonic energy. Then he just gets more confused as he watches the blue glow fade and the sword become calm again.

"Where are we?" Daisy quickly creates a stone s.h.i.+p for them and then looks around, seeing only water and more water; they are certainly in an ocean.

Lucien opens the portal to the purple world, and all his wives come to the s.h.i.+p. Everyone is fine, making it clear that traveling between worlds in the purple world is totally safe.

Eve, Helena, and Genevieve fly high to get a good view around them, but still, all they can see is water, a vast blue horizon.

"This is definitely the Blue Star." Pride comments. "Even the sky looks bluer than usual."

"Where are we going?" Donna asks. "All I can see is water."

Lucien looks at Helena. "How far did you see?"

"About fifty miles." She quickly responds.

"Fifty miles??" Lucien and all his wives are shocked. By focusing his senses to the max, he can maybe see over seven miles while the Sins can see a little farther, so the difference between that and fifty miles is very significant.

"She uses a vision ability." l.u.s.t comments. "That"s how she watched us from so far away without us being able to detect her."

Helena nods. "Actually, I used an ability to hide my aura too. But yeah, I have vision abilities."

Lucien can"t help but look at Maggie as he thinks aloud. "Does Maggie can do something like that too?"

l.u.s.t nods. "Well, Helena"s power level, ignoring her current state, is the Immortal Realm, so Maggie shouldn"t be able to see that far as her, though..."

She smiles at Lucien. "I don"t think Helena"s vision abilities are of a high level, but due to your demonic energy, Maggie"s abilities are improving at an unbelievable rate."

"Let"s try it then." Lucien signals to Maggie, and she quickly gets in front of him.

"Hubby..." She speaks in a cute tone as she feels a little embarra.s.sed that she has suddenly become the focus of attention.

He kisses her lips gently. "Don"t feel pressured; just try to use your ability to see the far you can."

Just as he asked, Maggie does. Although she can see through solid surfaces in a few miles radius just using her eyes, she does as before to focus as much as possible, creating a circle of gray energy as she did before meeting Lucien.

Inside the circle of energy, Maggie and everyone around her can see what"s in front of it magnified, like a big magnifying gla.s.s. Maggie focuses even more on her special energy making the magic circle show farther and farther.

They feel that when looking into the circle, their eyes are moving away from their bodies at incredible speed. Yet, that speed keeps increasing as Maggie puts more energy into the circle.

Nothing gets in the way of the circle, making everything they see to be the surface of the sea. Ten miles, twenty miles, fifty miles... The circle allows the group to see as much as Helena could quickly, but it continues to enhance their vision.

A hundred miles, two hundred miles, the speed at which the circle extends their view only starts to slow down after four hundred miles, and then Maggie reaches her limit a little over five hundred miles, surprising everyone, especially Helena.

"Great, my dear!" Lucien praises Maggie as he hugs her from behind. Then he kisses her neck, making her smile.

"And yet we haven"t seen anything in that direction for five hundred miles..." Donna comments.

"We only saw it above water." Sloth comments. "This is the Blue Star, a world almost entirely covered in water. So it"s normal for almost everything to be inside the sea."

"It makes sense." Lucien comments and then talks to Maggie. "Let"s try looking in other directions above the sea first."

"Mm." Maggie starts moving the circle slowly because as it is showing an area five hundred miles away, every millimeter she moves the circle makes them see several miles.

Still, all the group sees are the ocean waves. After a minute, they almost give up hope of seeing anything interesting, but then they notice a sea creature jump out of the water before diving in again.

"What is that??" Amelia is the first to ask, while everyone else has the same question.

The creature appears to be a fish over four meters long, but there"s no way to be sure as they aren"t sure how far the creature is from Maggie"s ability.

"Looks like a fish that likes to jump." Donna comments.

Since that creature is the first thing besides water the group sees in that world, Maggie follows it for a few seconds. Then they see the fish dive and not jump out of the water again.

"What happened? Did it get tired of playing?" Mia thinks aloud.

"Or was it scared of something..." Astrid comments, and just as she thought, everyone sees a huge s.h.i.+p appear in the magic circle, which probably scared the jumping fish.

Maggie quickly focuses her ability on the s.h.i.+p. And even without being able to get a very clear view of it, it is possible to see that the s.h.i.+p is mainly made of wood and is several times bigger than their big stone s.h.i.+p.

"It"s really giant..." Ca.s.sidy comments while not even having an idea how many meters big that s.h.i.+p is.

"It looks bigger than a castle." Daisy comments while she is also surprised by the size of that s.h.i.+p. That shouldn"t work well because it"s so big, but it"s sailing at a much faster speed than she can move her stone s.h.i.+ps or fly alone.

"It"s a magic s.h.i.+p." l.u.s.t comments.

Sloth nods. "Yes, it"s a s.h.i.+p made with high-quality magic resources to sail at impressive speeds using more magic resources to boost itself."

The group can also see hundreds of people on that impressive s.h.i.+p. However, it moves further and further away from Maggie"s ability, preventing them from seeing more.

"What should we do?" Donna thinks aloud as she looks at Eve and Lucien.

"We must reach them." Lucien and Pride speak at the same time.

"We need to know more about this world, and those people can tell us about it." He explains, and Pride nods, agreeing with him.

Then she smiles. "Also, if you had a s.h.i.+p like that, we could sail faster than we can fly..."

Lucien also nods, agreeing with her. "Traveling at high speed and in a comfortable way? Sounds really good to me."

Then Ca.s.sidy makes a thoughtful expression. "So it"s going to be like this? We"re just going to go to them, find out anything useful they know and then steal their s.h.i.+p? That makes us look like p..."

"Pirates?" Lucien smiles just like Envy.
