BXBX NOVEL Chapter 44 Unexpected Harvest.
*Boom!*
A sudden explosion from the Black Island sent out waves in all directions. It rocked the ships and the sea also swayed heavily.
"HOLD ON!!!" Commander Half bra screamed loudly to the crew. As everyone tried his or her best to hold on to something onboard the ship as it rocked left and right.
The sea swayed for a while. After which, it suddenly settled down.
Commander Half bra and the rest of the crew looked in the direction that the massive explosion had come from.
The huge pillar of Red and white light that extended to the heavens had suddenly disappeared.
The dark sky slowly cleared. It was like it was never dark in the first place.
"Is it over!?" One of the crew members subconsciously asked.
Everyone looked at one another, and Commander half bra could not help but worry more for Eros's safety.
A few hours before that intimate moment in the cave, he was probably her most hated person in the entire world.
However, things were different now. He was suddenly more important than she could believe him to be.
.....
On the Island, Eros held Dan In one hand.
Slowly, the boy opened his eyes. However, the moment he did, he weakly closed them once more. "Granddad!" he muttered lowly.
"The Anchor stone took too much strength from you. You are still weak and need to rest. Don't boy! you safe with me."
He sighed lowly.
The white and red vein marks on Dan's body were no longer there, and even though he appeared drained, Eros knew that the worse part had already been passed.
He took a look at the Ruby Anchor stone on his other hand. At the moment, it had settled down.
The energy from the Anchor stone was one that Eros was most familiar with.
To prevent what had happened before from happening again, he placed the Anchor stone in a thin layer of Celestial energy.
The energy from the Anchor stone was of primordial origins.
It was safe to say that the celestial energy covering it was going to hold the power within at bay.
Eros put the anchor stone in his pocket.
He proceeded to leave the place with Dan in his hands.
However, he had only taken a few steps forward when he saw a man with an eye patch on one eye on the fall.
From the information he could remember from commander half bra, he knew instantly that this man was commander Tender Eye.
He was currently in very terrible shape.
And the energy from the Anchor stone had done a terrible number on his skin.
He had cuts and burns on so many places on his body, and even a half broken sword at his abdomen. He was in no attractive position to look at.
In fact, Eros could tell that the man was soon to die. However, he hung on stubbornly to this world.
Commander Tender Eye stretched his hand for Eros.
At first Eros thought he was asking for help, but then he noticed that it was for the Anchor stone he had put in his pocket.
"Mortals!" Eros shook his head, "You are a few steps to the after life, and instead of asking for help, you still let your greed hunger for power."
But Commander Tender Eye did not care for the Baron's words. The goal he had worked so hard for was before his eyes, and it was bout to be snatched from him.
He was anything but sane at the moment.
Eros sighed and was about to walk away. However, his eyes suddenly noticed something on the Commander's finger.
It was a dark ring with particular runic symbols on it.
These were symbols that he instantly understood.
He immediately stretched his hand and forcefully removed the ring from the commander's finger.
Seeing what had just happened, Commander Tender Eye opened one eye as he tried to reach for the ring.
However, he was far too powerless to do anything.
He was so badly hurt that he could not even rouse his soul energy.
Eros took the Ring and sent his spiritual energy into it.
"Hmmm! not bad."
He placed the ring on his finger, turned and then he walked away.
Commander Tender eye could only watch painfully as Eros went away with his treasure.
This was Treasure that was so much that it could change the financial state of an entire kingdom. After all, it was treasure that had been accumulated for years from the Golden Empire.
Commander tender Eye screamed for Eros, but the Baron could not be bothered with the problems of a dying man.
However, a few more steps and a low cry for help drew his attention.
He walked in the direction it came from. There was a boulder obstructing his part.
He waved his walking stick like one would a sword and the big boulder broke into smaller parts.
Eros frowned, "even this attack is weak with this level of cultivation."
The strike he had just given, was supposed to have turned the boulder into dust. But it had only been cut into smaller pieces.
After destroying the boulder, he noticed that there was a person there.
It was a lady, and the state she was in was just as worse as Commander Tender Eye.
She had two bullet wounds on her body and the boulder from earlier had totally crushed her legs.
Eros shook his head and wanted to leave. However, he saw as her tears flowed silently from the corner of her eyes.
He sighed and walked up to her.
Even though her face was covered in dust and the glasses she wore were already broken, Eros could tell that this was a beautiful woman.
Also, she was not like any of the other pirates he had seen. She wore what he was sure were Scholar robes and even the demeanour around her was different.
In her eyes, he could see fear, loss, and even disappointment.
He could not help abandoning a beautiful woman in distress.
This was how Victoria the Scholarly woman met the man that changed her life.
This was how she joined the House of Tate...
