Chapter 4 - Show of powers

While we finish eating i asks the girl another question.

"So, what exactly is this place?" I asked

"You go into this sea without knowing anything about it?" she replied

"Well, it was just a punishment, i don't really intend to go here"

"Fine, i will tell you"

She then stands up and said "This place is called Sea of Spirits, because as the name suggest it's full of spirits, it's basically where the souls of all dead creatures go."

"I thought they go in heaven?" i replied

"I thought that at first too, but sadly that's not true, but many still didn't surrender on that theory, as you see yesterday, you see a bunch of spirits ascending to the sky right?"

"Yes, what about them?"

"They are the spirits that didn't give up on the heaven theory, they believe that the moon is the portal to heaven, but that's not true since i tried it before"

"You what??" I exclaimed

"Im a spirit that got a strong magic, i can go to wherever i want, and i got curious about this portal to heaven, so i tried to go to the moon, and when i get there, all i see is nothingness, and some sparkly things"

"What else did you find out up there?"

"I have find out that the world is actually a sphere"

"Oh so that was really true"

"Wait you actually believes me?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well many spirits i met didn't believe me when i say about this things"

"Haha, of course i believe you, that "Sunshine" spell you did proves that your really strong, it's my first time seeing a spell like that"

And then suddenly a big shock wave came out on my far east, we both look at it, and see a big explosion.

The little girl jumps off the boat and ran towards the explosion.

"Hey, wait!" I yelled to the little girl

I then start paddling towards the explosion too.

When we finally get there, the smoke have already fade out, and i saw nothing in the horizon, but the girl then dives on the sea.

I look at the water to see what's going on, and that's where i saw it.

There's two big beasts are fighting deep down the sea, one of the beast looks like a lion but it got a tail that looks like a dragon tail, the another beast is a bird, a big bird who can shoot lightning beams from it's eyes.

I then saw the little girl swim towards them, i know she's strong but i can't just let this girl swim toward them, so i cast a spell i always use when i go to my secret pirate cove, so i jump out of the boat, and then cast the spell.

The spell is called "Aqua dive" it's a spell where it allow me to breath under the sea, it also allows me to swim faster under the sea.

I then swim towards the two fighting beasts, i managed to caught up to the girl.

"Hey, wait me" i said

She looks at me and said "Oh, you can swim too old man"

"Of course i can, i'm a pirate" i replied

The flying beast is so fast, the lion is getting tired follow the bird, also despite their appearance, they still are fishes, big fishes, so they still can breath under the water, they both blow my brain, cause i never seen creatures like this.

As i watching two large beast beats up each other, I then saw the little girl looking under the feet of the lion, there's eggs down there.

The lion is protecting it's eggs to the bird.

I then asks her if she wants to help the lion.

She nods at me, so i came up with a plan.

After a while, we finish discussing our plan, and we then proceed on it.

"Alright you ready kid?" i asked to her while swimming toward the giant swimming bird

She nods on me, and began casting a spell

"Wave!" she yelled as she cast her spell

One of Acacia's most potent spells is called Wave; using it, she can project a strong wave in any direction from her body.

She then cast wave right under her feet, which propelled her forward so she could outrun the bird.

And when she finally get close to the bird's eyes, i transform my sword and change it to it's spear form, i then cast my own spell.

"Swap!"

This spell allows me to change positions with anyone I can see as long as I focus, but it's very risky because if you don't focus properly, it might only affect your body parts and not your entire body, Luckily for me one of my partners is an expert at this spell, so I asked him to show me how to properly focus when swapping bodies.

I cast Focus on my right arm after i switched places with her, then threw my spear straight at its eyes.

The throw i did was strong enough to pierce through it's skull.

While the spear is still inside the skull, i quickly cast Object Control to control the spear and aim it directly to it's another eye.

It's a success, but it's not enough to kill the giant bird, but we already knew that, while i was busy controlling my spear inside the bird's skull, the girl is casting another spell on my back.

"Volcanic Rising!" She yelled

The spell opens a volcano crater on the ground and it shoot series of heat blasts on the ground, the blasts was strong enough to send the bird to the surface.

I then use Object Control to call back my spear, and look back at the girl and cast Swap again.

When we finally swapped, She use another Wave spell and propelled herself directly to the Bird who's still getting hit by the Volcanic Rising projectiles.

When the bird finally reach the surface, i was left confused, since it didn't move, i thought the bird was going to fly when it was on the sky.

I watched the girl come at a rapid speed and pound the bird in the neck to propel it further into the sky as I was still staring at it with confusion.

"Now!" She yelled at me

I then cast another swap and change places again with her,

While i was on the air, i change back my spear to it's sword form, and the Focus spell was still in my right arm so i don't need to cast another Focus.

I then quickly slice the bird's head.

I managed to cut it down, leaving the bird headless.

After the fight, me and the little girl meet up on the lion's nest.

The lion got heavily wounded in their fight with the bird, upon seeing this, i look at the little girl and asked her if she knows any healing spell, she shrugs.

I then use my own healing spell, but i'm pretty bad at healing, so i only can close the lion's wounds.

But the girl turns to me and said, "Oh you can heal"

"Yeah, but i'm pretty bad at it"

"I can help you, i don't got a healing spell, but i know how to use it"

She then advises me on how to properly heal the Lion using the spell.

When i finish healing the lion, we leave it on it's nest with it's eggs.

I came back to my boat to see if it got any damages, fortunately it didn't, the girl also came back with me.

"Hey, thanks for helping earlier" she said to me

"No problem" I replied to her

She then looks at my boat and said "Do you want a bigger boat?"

I look at her and said "Yes??"

"Then follow me!" She exclaimed

"Wait, there's a big boat around here?"

"Yeah but it's very far from here, so i will lead you to it"

"Wait is it still working?"

"I don't know but the boat is still on the sea without any signs of sinking, so i guess it's still working, i heard the ship contains a bunch of visitors from the east, and they kinda lost their way around here, and when i go to the ship i don't see anything"

"That's strange, there ought to be at least some remnants."

"I heard around that part of the sea, there's another powerful spirits, they said it's his turf, so maybe he is the reason why the visitors disappeared"

"Yeah, the chance is high"

"Do you still wanna go there"

"Well yeah, i need a bigger boat, and i also wanna meet up this powerful spirit your talking about"

"Are you also gonna asks him about the Spirit Queen your searching?"

"Haha, your a sharp kid, and yes i was, so please lead the way"

"Okay!"

After that me and Acacia take a long journey toward to the direction of the ship.
