I BECAME A SKULL IN ANOTHER WORLD WITH THE LABYRINTH MASTER'S WORK.
CHAPTER 71: MEETING MARQUIS NATE IN PERSON
After Elos had finished warning his entire army, the delighted soldiers returned gloomy-faced. They had indeed managed to defeat the storm mage who was the strongest warrior under Marquis Nate, but there was still Marquis Nate they had to capture. As long as Marquis Nate escaped as well as sought help from the Ray Kingdom, this war would be even harder to end.
The crew ran to their respective positions and began to move their ships, dozens of ships owned by Elos again moved to pursue Marquis Nate. More precisely they chased after Lumina first because Lumina had already chased after Marquis Nate from the start with his invincible navy, there was a pretty big possibility that Lumina had managed to capture the Marquis's ship.
As he sat back in the control room of the Sharfas Warship, Elos looked at Riona who was beside him.
Right now Riona is busy drying her clothes exposed to water, although she flew when attacking the storm witch but some of the water from the sea still hit her due to the explosion of the fight.
The state of Riona who wears clothes that are exposed to water is very interesting, but as a skull then Elos does not feel much of this, therefore Elos is increasingly determined to return to being human.
Elos disposes of all those unimportant thoughts before putting their main problem "Riona first, how are you doing? Do you feel you have a possibility to become rank 7 in the near future?".
Riona who was busy with her clothes immediately said a little hesitantly "I don't really understand about this either, however in this world we simply cannot raise the rank just by killing many enemies, either, after all this is not a game where killing enemies will gain experience points. But to raise someone's rank then they should have more understanding of their strength as well as increase it, so it's quite difficult to determine whether we're close to going up in rank or not".
"But after fighting the storm mage earlier, I was able to understand my spear abilities getting clearer. Especially if I have to fight against the wind shield again, I'm sure as long as there are people wearing that shield again then I can destroy it using my spear, unless their rank is higher than mine".
Elos nodded "You're right, I also don't know if I'm very close to ascending rank, but my understanding of my own abilities keeps increasing every time against the enemy. Ever since we defeated the storm magician, I have felt that my strength and understanding of my own abilities have become stronger. But when I was about to raise my rank, I felt like there was a wall in front of me blocking my path. Looks like I need a little more push to become rank 7".
In this world, to increase rank then it has nothing to do with killing countless monsters, but one must understand his own strength and then increase it to raise his rank.
For example, Elos, he has the power of Ruler of Life and Death which means Elos must understand more about the power of life and death to increase his rank.
But that does not mean fighting each other is completely useless to increase one's rank, after all when fighting then there are so many people who manage to understand their abilities in the middle of a fight, after all, the possibility of understanding about one's abilities will be greater if through fighting, especially life and death battles that provide a sense of crisis is so great for everyone that the possibility of them raising the rank becomes greater.
It is not strange if before the fight then they are both rank 9, but the side will lose and be killed. Just a few seconds before death, the person increases his rank because the death crisis makes him use all his talents that make him win the fight.
As Elos and Riona just finished speaking, Arla who was in control of the legendary ship shouted "Report, we found an invincible navy in front of us, it seems that they are encircling the Marquis's group of ships and holding them all! This is our victory! All Marquis Nate's ships were captured!".
Arla's voice spread throughout Elos's warships, however, as the main ship, they had communication equipment related to other ships so as not to be separated during the war.
Listening to Arla's report, the soldiers stared at each other before shouting out very happy "We won!".
"Life, Mr. Elos!".
"Life Miss Riona!".
"Long live General Kronev!".
The sound of the triumphant cries of the soldiers continued to be heard, they were very happy for this victory, especially the animal humans who had always lost to humans, they were very happy about this victory, since following Elos then those who previously felt humans were invincible now they no longer thought humans were that strong.
Even the slaves who were the crew of the Sharfas Warship were happy, too, needless to say that they had a huge grudge against Marquis Nate because the one who made them into slaves was the Marquis' younger brother Leghi.
As the Elos troop ship drew nearer from the invincible naval vessel, Lumina leapt from her ship towards the Battle of Sharfas. He immediately met Elos in his room before saluting "Report master, not a ship has escaped, all have been captured. I don't know if any of the enemy troops managed to escape by swimming, but we managed to capture Marquis Nate".
"He had tried to escape before by jumping into the sea, but he only realized that he could not swim so I decided to catch him first. Are you going to meet Marquis Nate or are we going to kill him?".
Elos nodded firmly, he stood up from his chair before saying "Take me to the Marquis, I will see what kind of figure actually dares to go against me".
Lumina did not say much anymore, she took Elos, Riona and Kronev towards the largest ship of her invincible navy.
When he had just arrived on the ship, Elos found that there were many people tied up by ropes and sitting in the middle of this ship, while the Lumina troops stood guard around them so as not to give a chance to escape.
Elos eyes went straight towards the figure of the man sitting at the very front, he had luxurious clothes exposed to a lot of water as well as white hair and an old face about 50 years old.
Without needing any more explanation from Lumina, Elos was convinced that this man was Marquis Nate.
Elos approached the man "It's nice to meet you, Marquis Nate! We finally get to meet in person".
Looking at the figure of Elos, Marquis Nate's previously extremely desperate eyes turned cold "Don't be arrogant just because you won, I admit that I lost to you. But you must be dead, the Kingdom of Ray with Goddess Sares will not let you continue to be strong. The other labyrinth masters though will not be able to protect you, I did die today but you will definitely follow me too soon! Haha".
Elos was not angry at the words of Marquis Nate because he knew that this was only a mockery of the losing side because he could not feel his defeat.
Elos said no matter "You don't have to worry, today is not your death but rather I will kill you in front of the residents so that they can see that their ruthless leader is finally dead, I'm sure they'll be happy. Then for your family, maybe I threw them all to the residents as well. Let the residents punish them, what do you think, Marquis Nate?".
