Eldritch Creature's Guide



"Yes, I can... it is disgusting and filthy."

Yvraine scoffed when she sensed the tainted green Mana in the air, signaling that they were already closing to the Headquarters of the Green Beast Pirates. The taint of the collective consciousness of the Greenskins was getting stronger and stronger.

"Certainly it is... but fortunately, we are protected against it... but that is the aftermath, if the Tower is not suppressing the effects of the taint."

Contrary to the 1st Floor, which was swarmed by the Orks and Greenskins as a whole, there was zero to no taint from the Greenskins because the Tower itself took the initiative to suppress their growing psychic collective consciousness.

On the 11th Floor, there was none of that, and the Greenskins would be much stronger than those on the 1st Floor of the Tower. The tainted areas where the Mana was tainted was making them stronger, far stronger than they should normally be.

"How strong the leader of these menaces is?"

Yvraine asked Samiel as she enjoyed the cold breeze of chilling wind on her face.

"Silver-Tier... he is considered pretty strong even among the other Pirate Kings... not to mention Bagtork has proved himself to be very cunning and scheming Ork."

Not many Orks actually knew how to use that thing that was sprouting from their neck... using their head was something rare among the Greenskins.

Very rare...

So when Ork that was smart and cunning appeared, it signaled danger and usually such Orks are typically dealt with as soon as possible. If they are left to their own devise, then in most cases they would become new Bosses, Warbosses or even leaders of entire Waaaggghhhs...

That would certainly be disastrous.

"Hmm... at least it would be somewhat entertaining to say..."

Naturally, Yvraine would complain if the Greenskins were killed easily; they needed to resist a bit before her sword chopped off their heads.

"Thought I doubt that you would get your chance as Juulius is already preparing his blade for them..."

The Crown Princess of the Nesser Dynasty and Silvermoon Elven Species frowned slightly at that because killing Greenskins was something akin to a hobby of hers and she wanted to kill the chief of the Green Beast Pirates on the 11th Floor.

Bagtork was the sole Ork among the notable pirate crew on the 11th Floor because Orks rarely left their Klan to wander alone... when one thought over it, they really had something like pack mentality and were social creatures in some twisted sense.

"Then we will see who is the fastest among us..."

Yvraine muttered, to which Samiel just gave a small laugh...

***

For a few days, their journey was peaceful; they didn't encounter any powerful sea creatures or even any other pirate crews... so in silence and peace, they approached the territory of the Green Beast Pirates at a slow pace.

And with luck on their side, or instead, in their case, with advanced magic and Magitek on their side, they were not found by shamans of the Greenskins and their magic users.

They had already crossed the initial defensive line of the Green Beast Pirates, which consisted of the 8 smaller islands that were around the main island where their headquarters was.

Right now, they were only a few hours from landing at the main island and attacking their headquarters and more than three hundred members of the Holy Templar Knight Order were already preparing for the fight against the Greenskins.

As Samiel walked through the deck of the ship, he could see many of the knights polishing their swords and shields, preparing for the battle, checking the Runes on the armors, weapons and other equipment so everything was in a pristine condition.

Even Yvraine was doing the same thing, followed by Juulius, who was already prepared for the fight. Only Samiel just walked around as he didn't plan to participate actively in the fight, as he promised Juulius that he could have this one.

"We would be arriving at the targetted destination within approximately one hour. Order the highest level of alert and be ready to enter combat at any time."

Samiel gave our order to Captain Alvar.

As they were already near the headquarters of the Green Beast Pirates, there was a low possibility that they had some Shamans who would be screening the area for enemies employing stealth methods.

While most of the conventional methods found on the lower Floors of the Tower would prove to be futile, the Shamans still had one trump card hidden in their sleeve. Borrowing the Divine Power of the Green Gods to cast their magic.

This would certainly prove to be efficient as their cloaking and stealth methods couldn't resist in front of the Transcendental might when it was boosting the shamans. Naturally, all of them hoped that this wouldn't happen because they would be forced to launch their ambush sooner than planned.

After approximately forty more minutes, Samiel could see an enormous island on the horizon with his superior eyesight. The most notable thing about the landscape of the island were the enormous trees; some were even 100 meters tall or even taller.

Seeing this, he understood why the Green Beast Pirates chose this to be their lair... aside from the outer protection of the eight islands forming an octagram pattern around the main island, the main island itself was a fortress on its own.

All of those ridiculously huge trees were practically forming some kind of shield wall on the island, practically rendering any attempts at bombardment, scouting or flying to the island futile.

"Captain Alvar, is the artillery strong enough to destroy the targets despite the conditions we are faced with?"

Samiel asked as he sternly looked at the viking captain, who gulped visibly, calculating the percentage of success of the order, before he very slowly nodded.

"It is highly probable... if the information we have about them is not outdated, then we need only to fire three times before the target is reduced to rubbles."

Captain Alvar answered slowly because they wanted to destroy the island shield generator as their first move.

During the attacks on the smaller nations within the Northern Ocean Arae, in one of the nations destroyed by the pirates, they managed to snatch a shield generator in pristine condition that somehow managed to survive the siege and plundering by barbarous pirates.

Normally speaking, most of the pirate crews didn't have anything like this in their disposition and now, where there was talk about the Greenskins... it could be considered that they didn't smash the device apart like they usually do.

"Then fire the most powerful rounds the ship can handle... we need to take out that shield generator out of the picture before we disembark..."

Samiel ordered and Captain Alvar went to carry out the order, still unsure if the ship's cannons would be able to destroy the shield generator in only a few hits. The shield generator was located in the center of the island, protected by countless enormous trees...
