Eldritch Creature's Guide



The following days passed quietly as Samiel continued his training and when he was resting, he was devoting himself to the study of the Mythos Magic. It took him only three days to comprehend Basic Level Mythos Magic and now he could cast the spells without any problems.

He had to admit that the spells of the Mythos Magic, even some of the 1st Level Spells, were extremely terrifying curses that could affect even higher-tiered Professionals, which was really something to behold.

That was mainly because Spell contained some of the essences of the Outer Gods, who were lending their very own power to the caster. He already mastered some really nasty curses that would certainly come in handy in the future.

Today they would be taking sail to travel through the Northern Ocean Area as the aftereffects of the frost storm were removed entirely and the ships were given the green to leave the ports.

Yvraine was naturally eager to leave the Grand Cathedral because in her words, it was too boring here. Samiel wasn't that keen on leaving; for him, this place was good and he enjoyed his time greatly.

From time to time, he would study Gospel with the other Priests of the Hall of Kadath, as there were many members of the clergy from the Ecclesiarchy who were training on the 11th Floor.

He also ministered several prayers during the several days he spent in the Grand Cathedral, which was certainly something new and it was a refreshing experience.

This was the first time he was carrying out the prayer and in the future, it would become one of the most important duties as the Hall Master of the Hall.

Life in the Cathedral was peaceful and relaxing; on top of that, Samiel found a new passion for theological debates with the priests, which was something new. Fortunately, on the ship and among the crew, there were several members of the junior clergy from the Ecclesiarchy.

So he would have partners for discussions there.

Samiel didn't realize that this was an important thing as the Holy Son of the Hall of Kadath, not just to put up with the title and make an appearance, but he also needed to build connections and a base of followers within the Hall.

Presently, Samiel was walking through the streets of the capital city of Skrånøtiå, Jorvik and was heading toward the port. Port of the Jorivk was enormous; it easily could house tens of warships without a problem, as he searched for his personal warship, which he bought from the Skrånøtiå.

Naturally, it didn't take long for him to locate his ship because it was the biggest warship within the port. The thing was a humongous steel behemoth made from the best alloys and metals that the Skrånøtiå had in their disposition.

For that, the price he paid for the ship was adequate while he marveled at his newest toy he could play with. Yvraine silently walked behind him, though she was more interested in the upcoming fights and action.

After spending several days in the Grand Cathedral, where the only activities were the study of the Gospel, as a more active person who needed to do something, she almost went crazy.

Countless people were running here and there around the ship and on its deck because they were preparing for sailing and there were still a lot of things that needed to be done on the ship.

Samiel noticed that the firepower of the ship was relatively good, considering the fact that the people of Skrånøtiå usually abhorred the usage of Magitek for military purposes or even other types of technology.

Because of their viking culture, using guns and other "gadgets" to fight was disgraceful and was considered something that no proper viking would ever do. It was considered as a grave weakness to use external sources of power for any person of their civilization.

Due to this culture, even their ships were not often armed with advanced weaponry as Skrånøtiåns depended on the boarding actions when they were fighting on the open sea or ramming through hostile ships.

"Hopefully, it is worth of the credits you invested into this piece of steel..."

Yvraine commented from the side as they boarded the ship and went directly for the captain of the ship. Naturally, Samiel won't be captain because he knows nothing about managing a ship and managing a crew.

For that, they hired some experienced people who were already well versed in this aspect and were also knowledgable about the entire Northern Ocean Area so that they could bring them to the biggest pirate crews as soon as possible.

Juulius was already waiting for him together with the ship's captain, who was named Alvar, in the captain's quarters. Alvar looked like any other viking warrior, clearly signifying his strong heritage and Samiel noticed a ferocious aura around him.

He came to the conclusion that the biking Alvar was highly probably a Berserker; those kinds of warriors were rare across the entire Skrånøtiå. Even though Alvar was only the peak of the Steel-Tier, his combat prowess under the Berserker State should be enough to match even some average Bronze-Tier Professionals.

"My Lord."

"Your Highness."

Both men greeted Samiel with a bow; with a wave of his hand, he motioned them to sit down as they began discussing the situation and where to go first.

"Has the route been completed yet?"

Samiel asked as he sat down on the leather sofa, with Yvraine sitting next to him. He looked directly at Captain Alvar, who nodded his head and presented the Holy Son his planned route, which would be considered as sure death to anyone, but them.

"Yes, I have included there more than forty pirate crews; among them, we have even several Sea Lords and if we are lucky, we could attract the attention of some of the Pirate Kingds that are living in this area."

This entire sentence didn't have any rationality and if the people on the ship were not from the Hall of Kadath and for the presence of good number of high-tiered Professionals, nobody would be crazy enough to do something like this.

Purposely searching for the biggest pirate crews and even for the most frightening Pirate Kings, who were all very powerful Professionals on their own.

"Splendid... among the Pirate Kings, there should not be any Gold-Tier Professionals?"

Samiel asked and after seeing Captain Alvar nod his head, he was sure that this would be a piece of cake to complete. The only disadvantage of this mission would be the time aspect of it.

They would need to spend a long time before they completed their objective which was accumulating bounties with an overall worth of 10 million Credits. Naturally, Samiel even counted on the scenario where after some time, the pirates would purposely avoid them and flee.
