Reynaud was even more puzzled. If they were indeed taking the route of disguise, why would they discard their pirate flag?
The female pirate looked at the pirate flag in her hand with reminiscence, “This pirate flag has accompanied me for many years; I can’t just throw it away.”
While speaking, the female pirate neatly folded the pirate flag and put it into her backpack.
Reynaud watched the female pirate’s actions, unsure if he should step forward to eliminate the scourge on behalf of the villagers.
As Reynaud hesitated, the fishermen behind him cried out again, “It’s… it’s a sea beast!”
Looking over, Reynaud saw the pirate ship that had disguised itself as a merchant vessel now hundreds of meters away; but just as they were about to move away, a ferocious sea beast suddenly raised its head from the sea surface!
The part of the creature that had emerged from the water was already five or six meters high!
This was the bloodthirsty sea lion, which in the nearby waters, loved to feed on mermaids!
With a slap of its tail on the water, it raised a wave of frothy surf! Simultaneously, its gaping mouth revealed numerous sharp, fine teeth as it bit down toward the pirate ship!
Seeing this scene, the fishermen now didn’t know what to say.
Should they warn them to be careful? But a moment ago, it was a pirate ship.
Or should they feel happy about their misfortune? However, the pirate ship had only let down a seemingly frail female pirate, and the ship itself had sailed away, not appearing to be in a robbing stance.
As the fishermen were engulfed in complex thoughts, the female pirate who had disembarked suddenly turned around.
“Oh, I didn’t notice this sea beast earlier,” the female pirate murmured softly to herself.
She then slowly extended her right hand, and as everyone watched, she removed the glove from her right hand, revealing the metallic gleam of a mechanical arm underneath.
Her palm faced the direction of the sea beast, and with the sound of beeps, everyone clearly saw blue light dots appearing at the center of her mechanical palm.
As the dots gathered together, a visible spiral tornado burst forth from her palm with a thundering noise, reaching the sea beast in a blink of an eye.
With a bang.
The head of the sea beast was pierced by the spiral tornado, its blood sprayed everywhere, and its brain matter splattered!
The huge body crashed heavily onto the sea, creating a significant wave.
“Done,” the female pirate said softly.
Her actions left everyone in shock, and the fishermen finally recognized the identity of the female pirate – a Transcendent!
Only a Transcendent could possess such frightening power and kill a bloodthirsty sea lion in a second!
The fishermen who previously thought little of a female pirate were now trembling in their legs. If she truly was a Transcendent, wiping out their entire village wouldn’t be a problem.
While the fishermen were at a loss, the female pirate suddenly said to the silent Reynaud, “You’re an apprentice, aren’t you? I remember there is a Wizard Market around here; can you tell me where it is?”
“Shan said the new issue of ‘Glowing City Night Talk’ should be out these days; I need to see if there’s any information on the New Star competition,” the female pirate murmured to herself, and then, seeing that Reynaud hadn’t reacted yet, she seemed to realize something and said:
“I almost forgot to introduce myself. My name is Nausicaa, formerly a pirate, now a Wizard Apprentice.”
