Another World’s Versatile Crafting Master

Under the attacks of the 10-odd Legendary powerhouses, the pirates who seemed to have an absolute advantage fell from the clouds to the abyss. Those pirates who had been committing arson, murder, and theft at sea became the subject of slaughter this time, and they were all wailing in agony as they fled from the ship. However, even if they jumped into the sea with no qualms about their lives, they would not be able to avoid the fate of getting crushed into bits by the attack spells and Combat Energy that followed.

One by one, the pirate ships began to sink to the bottom of the sea. Some of the pirate ships were engulfed by blazing flames that were still burning intensely even on the surface of the sea. Some of the pirate ships were frozen completely before being chopped into pieces by Combat Energy that came from dozens of meters away. Some were even worse off as they were shrouded in gray fog. The pirates on the ship wailed in pain and watched themselves age rapidly while the ship decayed and broke down.

Although the strength of the Legendary powerhouses was not considered much in front of a Sanctuary powerhouse like Lin Li, they were god-like existences for those below the Legendary-level. More than 10 Legendary powerhouses were simply beyond what those pirates could resist. In about less than 10 minutes, half of the pirates’ ships sunk to the bottom of the sea in various ways.

At this moment, the Sea Demon King Omula and the others were standing on the pirates’ flagship, completely dumbfounded because of the changes going on outside. They could never imagine the origin of the lone battleship on which numerous Legendary powerhouses suddenly appeared. They couldn’t help but think to themselves that they had probably met a tough opponent this time!

Seeing that the fleet they had worked so hard to operate was about to be completely destroyed by those Legendary powerhouses, Omula finally snapped back to his senses. Without saying anything more to the other two, he turned around and walked towards the back of the pilothouse.

“Lord, we’re really in trouble this time, I need your help to save us, otherwise we…” Omula said in a shaky voice.

The mysterious man in the pilothouse who was wrapped in a black robe finally slowly raised his head, but his face was still concealed by the shadow of the hood.

“Tell your people to retreat,” the man said before raising his hand to release a magic flare.

The magic flare penetrated the ceiling of the pilothouse and darted into the sky before exploding with a loud boom, causing a huge mageweath to be drawn in the sky. At the same time, Omula also returned to the front of the pilothouse to order his subordinates to retreat. He then took the lead to maneuver the flagship to turn away and flee into the distance at full speed. In fact, the other remaining battleships immediately fled without waiting for Omula’s orders. Seeing that the flagship had already left, no one would be silly enough to stay there and wait to die. Instead, they immediately followed the flagship at full speed.

However, the 10-odd Legendary powerhouses who came down from The Star clearly did not intend to let them off so easily. The Legendary-mages directly used the Power of Flight to chase after the fleeing pirate ships while still attacking them continuously with offensive spells. The Legendary Sword Sages were not willing to seem weak. Although they could not stay in midair for a long time, flying for a short distance with explosive speed was far better than the Power of Flight of the Legendary-mages as they charged towards the fleeing battleships like cannonballs.

During their attempt to escape, the pirates’ battleships still could not avoid the fate of sinking to the bottom of the sea. However, just as the people on The Star tried to catch up with the flagship that fled at the front, another fleet came over from afar. The fleet of battleships all bore the Gilded Kingdom’s flag, and they were obviously the naval fleet that the Gilded Kingdom relied on to traverse the seas.

The sudden appearance of the naval fleet of the Gilded Kingdom, which had 15 alchemical battleships and 20-odd iron ships, all sailing over quickly in a neat formation, and revealing the mightiness of dominating the sea, was unexpected. Even if the naval forces of the kingdoms in Anril were combined, they might not be able to compare to this fleet.

Upon sight of the naval fleet of the Gilded Kingdom, those on The Star who were chasing the pirates couldn’t help but slow down their movements. After all, they were there because they were invited to participate in the Gilded Kingdom’s founding celebration, not to annihilate the pirates for the Gilded Kingdom. Since the Gilded Kingdom’s naval fleet had appeared, they wouldn’t bother continuing.

At this moment, the Gilded Kingdom’s naval fleet, which was fast approaching them, signaled to them in a bid to tell them, “This is the Gilded Kingdom’s territory. We order both sides to stop fighting immediately. The navy of the Gilded Kingdom will judge the dispute.”

The people on The Star also simply gave up on pursuing the pirates, and returned to the deck one by one. Anyway, the pirates would die regardless of whether they landed in the hands of the people on The Star or the Gilded Kingdom. Hence, they didn’t mind letting the Gilded Kingdom show their authority.

As The Star‘s crowd stopped chasing, the pirate’s flagship and the remaining two ships also followed and stopped, seemingly knowing that it was impossible to escape in this situation. When they saw the few iron battleships of the Gilded Kingdom, they immediately approached and raised their white flags. Next, the iron battleships of the Gilded Kingdom approached, and the warriors and mages boarded the pirate ship. Soon, the remaining pirates began surrendering.

However, after the pirates were disarmed, the fleet was still in a vigilant formation, and they continued to surround The Star. In particular, the 15 alchemical battleships soon surrounded The Star, and the flagship of the fleet soon signaled a request to board the ship for inspection.

“President Felic, it seems that the other party doesn’t know our identity yet, let me go explain to them.” Joseph was afraid that Lin Li would lose his temper and not give the Gilded Kingdom any respect. They were already considered to be in the territory of the Gilded Kingdom. If their relationship was strained, it would not benefit them at all.

However, Joseph’s worry was obviously a little redundant. Although Lin Li was already a Sanctuary powerhouse standing above all at the peak of Anril, he was definitely not a person who liked to cause trouble for nothing. Hence, after Joseph’s words, he nodded and said, “Well, please go and greet them then.”

Hearing Lin Li’s words, Joseph secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly moved to go up to the flagship of the other fleet. Of course, the flagship of the Gilded Kingdom’s fleet was not something that just anyone could go up to. Joseph had to fly into the air and negotiate with them for a long time before he was finally allowed to land on the deck of the battleship.

After a while, the flagship of the Gilded Kingdom fleet broke away from the fleet formation and approached The Star. Joseph first returned to the latter to report, after which several boarding bridges were extended to the deck of The Star.

First, a group of warriors arrived at the deck of The Star via the bridge which then split into two lanes. Next, a young officer in his early thirties arrived on the deck of The Star, accompanied by elite warriors.

The young naval officer had a head full of curly blond hair and a pair of turquoise eyes. He was rather muscular, but his face was a little pale. However, his strength was a little too inadequate for an officer commanding such a fleet because he hadn’t even reached the Legendary-level.

However, the warriors beside him were all level-18 or level-19, and no matter where they were, they would be elites. Even the top forces of the Breezy Plains like the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar Family could not form such a team of elites.

They could tell from the elite warriors that although the young naval officer did not have impressive strength, he probably had an extraordinary status in the Gilded Kingdom. Otherwise, even the commander of this fleet would not be qualified to make that team of elite warriors stay on guard.

After the young officer came to the deck of The Star surrounded by the guards, someone who looked like a deputy commander stood out, and introduced to the people on The Star, “This is Lord Delano, the commander of our kingdom’s Fifth Fleet, the son of High Priest Poer.”

Generally speaking, the children of officials or wealthy men would rarely announce the names of their fathers when introducing themselves. Even the special envoy, Cantory, who was in charge of the development plan of the Gilded Kingdom in the Breezy Plains didn’t go round reporting his father’s name. However, Lord Delano looked extremely arrogant and smug when his subordinates introduced him and his father, clearly not finding anything wrong with it.

Hearing the deputy commander’s introduction, the people on The Star, especially Joseph and other representatives of the forces that cooperated with the Gilded Kingdom, couldn’t help but look surprised. They had naturally never heard of Delano before, but they had some understanding of High Priest Poer from their interaction with the Gilded Kingdom.

High Priest Poer was not just a priest of the kingdom, but also the teacher of the king of the Gilded Kingdom, and had an extraordinary status in the Gilded Kingdom. If Cantory had not become a disciple of the priest of the Illuminati, he probably would not be qualified to be compared to Delano and compete with him in terms of whose father was more powerful. After all, no matter how much authority the chancellor had, it was all given by the king, who had always been very respectful towards High Priest Poer.

Lin Li was naturally aware of High Priest Poer’s existence, but he wasn’t as surprised as others. After all, Sanctuary powerhouses, especially those who were at higher levels, were basically above all else in the world of Anril. Hence, Lin Li barely had any fluctuations in his emotions because of this matter. Even if Delano was the son of the Illuminati priest, Lin Li wouldn’t be fazed.

Seeing how shocked the others on The Star were because of his identity, Delano still felt rather proud even though this had happened to him countless times before. However, when he turned to look at Lin Li who was standing in the middle of the crowd, he couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment.

Lin Li’s composure seemed to be an eyesore to Delano at this moment, especially because Delano felt that Lin Li was being contemptuous and disdainful of him. Whenever he announced his identity, the people that he faced would immediately seem astonished, be it someone from the Gilded Kingdom or elsewhere. They would also start being extremely respectful towards him, and some would even try to bootlick and flatter him.

At this moment, the people on The Star had already quickly recovered from the shock. After all, they were all Legendary powerhouses who were considered powerful. Since he was the person who had just communicated with the Gilded Kingdom, Joseph began to introduce the people on his side to the Gilded Kingdom.

Delano did not pay much attention to the identities of the people from the Breezy Plains at all. To him, the Mithril Alliance and Caesar Family were just some local forces, and the so-called top forces of the Breezy Plains were just existences that were akin to the Gilded Kingdom’s trade unions or pirates.

Delano could not figure out why Cantory still hadn’t managed to gain control of the entire Breezy Plains even though the forces seemed mediocre. If he had been in Cantory’s place, he would have just led his military into the Breezy Plains without wasting his breath to negotiate.

However, Delano was not entirely nonchalant. At least, he was very curious about Lin Li, the young man who he felt was being dismissive of and belittled him. My father is the high priest of the kingdom and whose identity in the Gilded Kingdom would surely make the hearts of those who hear it tremble. Who would have the right to belittle me!?

“This is President Felic, the president of the Tower of Dusk of the Breezy Plains.” The first person Joseph introduced was Lin Li, who was the Sanctuary powerhouse that was of utmost importance even though he was very young. After introducing Lin Li, he began to introduce Claus of the Caesar Family and Mogadi of the Blood Moon Clan, followed by the representatives of the other forces.

However, at this point, Delano was no longer listening to Joseph’s introduction, because the only thing he wanted to know was the information about the young mage who dared to belittle his identity. However, after hearing Joseph’s introduction, he could not help but sneer and think to himself, I’ve never even heard of the Tower of Dusk before. Seems like that guy’s attitude is completely because of his ignorance.

After waiting impatiently for Joseph to finish his introduction of the people on The Star, Delano nodded, and then raised his chin slightly to look at the people condescendingly. “This is the territory of the Gilded Kingdom. No matter what your dispute is about, it has already threatened the safety of our territorial waters. The other party has already put down their weapons, so I now order you to also immediately lay down your weapons and accept the temporary escort provided by the Fifth Fleet. We will give you a fair and final verdict at the Naval Court when we reach Four Seasons Island.”
