Fantastic Beasts of Records: Lecherous Prince Of The Sea

It was odd!

Ever since I entered this world, I knew that I haven't directly killed anyone - Well, I haven't killed anyone with my own bare hands. Instead, my beasts have been the ones doing it for me.

We reached the brothel after a few turns. Nina stood behind us with reddened eyes while Annabelle walked quietly beside me.

'If I had the opportunity to save Nina with Toothless or Bones, would have I left the people attacking her remain alive' I thought.

And instantly, I got my answer…. 'No'.

No, I wouldn't.

No matter what situation I faced, I always resorted to using my beasts to end the lives of my victims, before they come back to bite me in the ass later.

And no, this wasn't just holding a gun and honing it at an enemy and then 'Bang'. Their life flashes before their eyes, while their body drops dead in front of you.

This was more like a…. Umm! What was the name of that one-liner again?

''The cruder a weapon is, the more time it takes to stare at the eyes of your enemy as they die and feel empathetic' Yeah, I think that was it.

Hahh! And I thought I was cold-blooded.

No! I shook my head. I am just a man from another world who still wasn't ready to soak my hands in blood.

"You are back sir" The familiar feminine voice sounded in my ears as we made out way up the stairs.

"Yes, and tell Madam Celia not to disturb till the end of the day" My voice was cold. Colder than the frigid snow.

Luckily, the woman was smart enough to pick up the queue and walked out of my way. It seems working in a brothel helps in some aspects too other than expanding one sexual knowledge.

Regardless, I walked forward and only stopped until we reached our VIP room.

We walked in and sealed it shut. Nina threw her body on the bed and sobbed, leaving me with Annabelle who somehow -for some reason looked worried.

"Annabelle?"

"Yes, Captain" I led her towards the other side of the room and sat down on the couch.

"I want you to tell me everything you know about ascendants and ascension" I mused "Of course, take your time. I a using this to know about the things you lack first before I start teaching you".

…........

Annabelle understood that Prince Wyatt -her Captain was enraged. From his face, she could tell that he knew who had burnt down the building of Nina's workplace. Still, since he didn't feel the need to tell her, then it wasn't in her right to inquire.

"Are you sure you don't just want to hear the areas I am bad at, instead of going through everything?" Besides, everything was a sham, including their teacher-student agreement.

"No. I need you to tell me everything" Prince Wyatt responded. He would have walked up to the people responsible and dealt with them, but he knew that as an ascendant, he was weak.

He wasn't the kind of person to leave everything up to chance, and expect that all the people responsible for this are ordinary human beings.

"Alright" Annabelle said. She saw his resolute expression and nodded her head. Even if this whole thing was a sham, there wasn't a reason for him to know.

And so, she spoke, "When an ascendant...".

…........

"I see" Prince Wyatt nodded his head in fascination. He didn't imagine that the system of ascendants was simple yet complex. It was a far cry from the usual fantasy hogwash that he had seen on the A. I T.v.

Each rank or path had its faults and weakness. Each had its strengths and faults. Yet, there was one thing they all had in common, and that was the possibility of becoming a frightening existence if you were capable of reaching the top.

"Is that all Captain?" Annabelle questioned.

"Yes, that is all, you can leave now and come back tomorrow so that we can talk about the repairs for the ship"

Annabelle stared at him dumbfoundedly. For a moment, she thought that she would be given some high-level techniques that could only be found in the Mage tower of the Endossa empire.

She had spoken, illustrated and explained feverishly for the last 3 hours, so who wouldn't?

"Captain.." She stressed. "Aren't you going to teach me anything?".

"I will…. But not today" He stood up, removed his clothes, sat on the bare ground and crossed his legs. "Now, I need to meditate on your words and figure out which technique or training is most suitable for you" He closed his eyes and let the words fall out of his mouth like bullshit.

Of course, it was.

But to Annabelle, his words had some sense in them. It would be suspicious if he had suddenly given he a technique that would impact her for the rest of her life almost instantly.

Without hesitation, she decided to stand up and head back to her inn. She had received a great deal of information about her new Captain today, and couldn't help but find a way to put them in words.

Annabelle's nose furrowed. Unexpectedly, it felt as though she was in for a lot of work.

"Click!" The sound of the door opening and closing echoed across the room.

Prince Wyatt released his breath and exhaled. He paused. Slowly, he turned to look at Nina who was fast asleep on the bed before he picked up his shirt and tied it around his eyes.

"See within your body. Feel your magical power and locate its essence" His lips parted. An ungodly amount of seriousness carved itself on his face. Slowly, the magical energy around him flared. The wind began to twist and the atmosphere near him grew heavy.

Yet, his body remained unperturbed. He could feel it….

The switch….

No. It felt like a switch. Like a locked tap that needed to be unclogged. Unsurprisingly, he did the obvious and pulled it open.

SWOOOOSSHH!!

Like the towering flames of a tornado that led the Israelites to the promised land by night, flames erupted from his body and surrounded him with the swirl of a burning storm.

Yet, he didn't feel the heat.

Another clog entered his senses as he scrutinized every part of his body. He repeated his actions and pulled it open.

SWOOOOSSHH!!

Like Moses departing the red sea, large streams of water rose, appearing out of thin air, and surrounding him. The water surrounded him with the same whirl, bending and melding along with the spiral of flames. It didn't clash or collide with it. They merely intertwined.

Strangely, he could sense all these things. Their movement. Their rhythm. Their flow and intensity. He could sense them all.

Regardless, he wasn't yet done!

Another clog entered his senses. It felt much harder than the first two. But, he wasn't deterred. He rapidly moved the magical energy in his body towards its position.

After a few tries and errors. It burst open!

SWOOOOSSHH!!

The walls of Jericho crumbled!

The building around him shook. The ground vibrated. Chunks of rocks departed from the walls and broke down into smaller pieces before they also swirled around him. They matched the pattern of the intertwined elements and floated along with the same rhythm.

Prince Wyatt felt refreshed!

He also felt a strange sensation flowing within his body. A sensation that told him that he had gotten stronger. It was merely a claim.... An instinctive feeling.

Regardless, he didn't refute it. Because he felt it. The felt the raging power within his body. His senses widened, and a smile adorned his lips.

Another clog had appeared. It was as hard as the third one. Still, after a single trial with his newly gained experience ….

SWOOOOSSHH!!

It burst open.

A cyclone of wind materialised around him, tearing everything within its borders to pieces. They were like blades of wind rotating around him. They were sharp, and surprisingly, only got sharper.

"Hahh!" He breathed out. A burst of mana escaped from his mouth and opened his eyes before he closed them once more.

The space around him was destroyed and tattered, however, it didn't bother him. Nothing bothered him at this moment, as he was currently going through an out-of-body experience.

It felt unreal!

"What the-?" Prince Wyatt's eyes snapped open. The world around him twirled b. The atmosphere and reality crumbled like a sheet of paper. It folded and unveiled a new scene before his eyes in a flash of light.

Prince Wyatt didn't need anybody to tell him that he wasn't at the brothel anymore. 'An out-of-body experience indeed!' He thought.

His new surrounding got clearer, causing a grin to form on his lips as he took in everything with his eyes.

"Who would have guessed.." He said before he paused. His voice sounded calmer and more mellow than usual. It seemed that Annabelle had left that part out.
