Biting his lip to steady himself, Joa's heart sank because now his escape was a lot harder.
Sitting up quickly and entering the meditative state to calm himself, he also begun to search his memory for the abilities of the werewolf.
Remembering the abilities of the "Werewolf" one can realize everything he would have to do and take into consideration to escape:
▪︎A werewolf has quite powerful regenerative abilities, as well as terrifying strength, agility, and speed. Its claws and teeth are not inferior to the Beyonder's weapons of the same Sequence, and contain poison. They also know some spells related to darkness.
▪︎The targets that are under the control of the werewolf would become subordinates after a period of time, when a werewolf's venom infiltrates their body for a period of time. They would turn into a monster like a werewolf and usually these monsters possess a very short lifespan.
▪︎Curse: Every time the crimson moon fills, they will lose some of their sanity, grow black fur, and their thirst for blood and the desire to taste blood will reach their peak. A werewolf who is always unable to suppress his instinct to kill and his thirst for blood during the full moon will become increasingly cold and twisted.
So fight him is completly out the table.
Taking all of that into account, the best chance he has of escaping is in the middle of the night, when his sanity is at its lowest, allowing him some margin for error, however small it is.
Taking into account that he is on a pirate ship and because of the cannons that it has,somewhere on it they must have ammunition and gunpowder.
The ship itself is not that big and should be close to the cannons.
The guards themselves, although they had a dirty and cold aura, it wasn't even close to Tames's aura.
So he and James should be the only beyonders on the ship.
So if you're extremely careful and manage to escape, you'll only have to deal with a few armed guards...
Of course all that if he manages to free himself from the chains and manages to reach the cannon room but after that what?
If he pulls off the plan, he would literally be sinking the ship and killing all the people on the bottom....
Would he be able to live with himself after killing all these people?....
And even if all those lives didn't matter to him, he would end up in the middle of the ocean with a very angry werewolf.
The trip had just started and it couldn't have been more than 1 day since they left Bayam even so he couldn't swim that distance.
The only option is one of the islands on the way to the destination. Bayam is located very close to the center of the Sonya Sea and is full of islands so it is not a totally suicidal idea.
It had only been 2 days since they caught him so Joa is confident that he has enough strength to swim to one of these but the same problem comes up.
What will become of these people?
Looking around, he analyzed everyone who was with him one by one.
The vast majority looked quite healthy only a few looked very thin and somewhat sick.
That is a good sign, a large part had the hope of being saved, but the other....
He finally made up his mind and with the restricted mobility the chain gave him he moved towards the pile of meat.
Kneeling in front of it, he sink his hands into it while saying sorry to the old man in his heart.
He almost threw up....
Yes, although before he was somewhat close and the smell was already vomiting, being so close now and touching him made him have to swallow his vomit.
Everyone there looked at him in disgust and even those who had something in their bellies vomited it up upon seeing the disgusting scene.
But Joa didn't care as he pushed a bit of small intestine out of his way as he tried to find a good bone.
Yes, that's why Joa decided to do something so disgusting. He was looking for a bloody bone because in order to escape, the first thing he had to do was find a way to break the chains and he definitely didn't have the strength for that, so he wanted to try to find a bone. to help him in that and apart from that it could serve as a weapon against the normal guards.
After a while, Joa pulled out of the mass what appeared to be a broken femur, now she finally had something to defend herself with.
People were still looking at him with disgust and now with some fear because he was armed, but he ignored them and went back to his wall first.
The priority now was to remove the chain from his ankle, so he tucked the bone between the chains, recognized it, and began to pull, there was a horrible screeching of metal as it bent and the chain snapped.
He was still chained, but now that Joa was free, the rest of the people were looking at him and didn't know what to say.
Until another man got up and spoke to her..
"Sir, what do you think you are doing? Didn't you see how that monster devoured that poor man? Do you want to die like this?" - Said the same man pointing to the pile of meat next to Joa.
Joa looked at the man, paying attention to his appearance. He was a 30-something man with greasy black hair that was receding and green eyes, he had a light, unkempt beard and he was very dirty like everyone else.
"No, but I also don't want to stay here praying that that unfortunate guy doesn't get hungry and decides that eating one wasn't enough... Besides, I don't intend to be sacrificed to an evil god, so I'm leaving"-when he said that, he looked at the others who where listening to the conversation of course, it's not that they had whispered so everyone heard it.
"Listen everyone when I try to escape I am going to blow this ship to pieces and you are going to drown so I give you 2 choices:
First I release you and we unite to reach the cannons and blow up the ammunition room sending everything to hell.
Or the second choice, you stay here to die drowning like rats since I'm not going to help someone who doesn't help himself"
When Joa said that everyone hurled insults at him.
"Are you crazy? You're not just going to kill yourself, you're going to kill us all?"
"Are you an idiot? Are you threatening us?"
"Who the fuck do you think you are to say that?"
"Do you seriously think you'll be able to get to the room, they're going to kill you"
Looking at the crowd he finally answered.
"I'm someone who refuses to die without a fight so if you haven't decided yet I'm sorry but I'm not going to save your asses..."
Turning his back on them, he began to climb the stairs, but before reaching the fifth step, a woman spoke.
"Wait sir please I will help you so please release me and my little sister"
Turning around to see who spoke was the blonde woman with the girl in her arms.
