A Villain's Journey Begins in the Type-Moon World

This special recognition was one of the few warm affirmations she could grasp on this ship, by this man's side.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom"

Just then, a cautious knocking sound suddenly broke the tranquility and harmony that filled the room.

Although the person knocking on the door clearly softened their knock with reverence, as if afraid of disturbing the person inside, the sound still ruthlessly cut off this rare moment of ear cleaning.

Medea's hand stopped abruptly, and Wang Chong also opened his eyes abruptly, a hint of impatience at being disturbed flashing in his eyes.

Fortunately, Wang Chong seemed to remember something, so he quickly got up, walked a few steps to the door, and flung it open with a bang. His voice, still cold, asked, "What is it?!"

Standing outside the door was none other than the one-eyed pirate.

When he saw Wang Chong's icy expression and extremely low aura, his heart skipped a beat, and he secretly cried out: Oh no! Did I really stumble upon my boss's "good deed"?

"If you don't talk, I'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish!" Wang Chong clearly had no patience to wait for him to think of his words and shouted sternly.

"Yes...yes, boss!" The one-eyed pirate snapped to attention and immediately reported, "Our ship is about to dock!"

"We've reached the shore?" Upon hearing this crucial information, Wang Chong's impatience vanished instantly, replaced by a serious and focused expression. "Are you sure?"

“Absolutely true, boss!” The one-eyed pirate nodded vigorously, adding, “We’ve arrived at the Island of the Wyverns! And… and the brothers report that there seems to be something watching our ship from the sky. It doesn’t look good!”

"Pterodactyl Island, as the name suggests, is inhabited by a large number of pterodactyls. If we're not prepared, we might get caught and become their breakfast!" Wang Chong's eyes sharpened, and he quickly issued orders, "I'm on deck right now! Order everyone to take their battle positions immediately and prepare to engage!"

"Yes, sir!" The one-eyed pirate, feeling as if he had been granted a pardon, immediately turned around and ran wildly toward the upper deck.

Wang Chong turned to Medea inside the room and briefly instructed her: "It's dangerous outside. Stay inside and come out with me once the situation stabilizes."

“…Okay.” Medea hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded obediently.

After saying that, Wang Chong didn't delay any longer. He grabbed the two-handed greatsword leaning against the wall and rushed towards the deck with steady and swift steps.

The moment they stepped onto the deck, the piercing roar of muskets mingled with the sharp howls of pterosaurs from the sky, creating a chaotic battlefield symphony.

Almost simultaneously, a swift black shadow, accompanied by a foul stench, lunged straight at Wang Chong's face!

Wang Chong's eyes sharpened, and with a slight flick of his wrist, the greatsword drew a cold arc of light!

"Pfft!" Hot, viscous blood splattered!

The oblivious pterosaur was precisely cleaved in two mid-air, its remains crashing heavily onto the deck with its momentum.

"Maintain formation! Do as I say!" Wang Chong's voice wasn't loud, but it struck the chaotic minds of every pirate like a hammer blow, carrying an undeniable authority. "On my command! Raise your guns—fire!"

During these three days at sea, Wang Chong was far from idle. He knew the true nature of this rabble, so he specifically used his [Military Strategy A+] and [Hero Shaping EX] abilities to devise a simple set of tactics suitable for pirate coordinated operations and conducted intensive drills on them.

In just three days, under Wang Chong's subtle influence and rigorous training, this group of originally undisciplined pirates actually managed to quickly regain their composure and form a preliminary cooperative relationship.

Under Wang Chong's calm and efficient command, the battlefield situation quickly reversed. The pirates, using the ship's sides and masts as cover, divided into small groups and took turns firing, gradually creating a dense and effective fire network.

One by one, the ferocious pterosaurs that were pouncing fiercely were hit in vital areas by accurate musket bullets, and fell from the sky with mournful cries.

The flock of pterosaurs circling in the sky quickly realized that their "prey" was far more formidable than they had anticipated. After losing several of their companions, they let out a few long howls in resentment, abandoned their attack, turned around, flapped their massive wings, and disappeared one by one into the distant horizon.

The crisis caused by the pterosaur attack has temporarily come to an end.

"Listen up, everyone! Stop standing there cheering! Get a team together, get the small boats in, and pull all the pterosaur carcasses that fell into the sea!"

Wang Chong's voice rang out again, silencing the crew's initial commotion: "These are all treasures! Their scales and leather are the best materials to reinforce our pirate ship! The more we salvage, the stronger our ship will be!"

Upon hearing Wang Chong's order, many crew members immediately sprang into action, preparing small boats and fishing nets to begin salvaging the precious pterosaur remains.

The others returned to their posts, steering the pirate ship slowly toward the lush, verdant island where the faint cries of birds could be heard.

As the bow of the boat gently touched the beach, Wang Chong stood at the bow, gazing into the depths of the island, a confident smile slowly curving his lips.

Pterodactyl Island, the treasure trove he had long awaited. Whether it was the pterodactyl materials to strengthen his ships, or the legendary hunting goddess of the island… he was determined to have it all!

"Judging by the days, Ritsuka and the others should have entered this singularity by now..." Wang Chong thought to himself, "I just wonder where they are now... There's still no news from Euryale, perhaps they haven't even encountered Drake yet."

However, compared to the progress on Ritsuka's side, Wang Chong was now focusing all his attention on the island beneath his feet.

He now has only one goal: to find Artemis and Orion as soon as possible and find a way to "invite" this key duo onto his ship.

Only then can his meticulous planning truly unfold.

Chapter 533 Medea's Questioning

"This island... has such a rich spiritual energy..."

Medea slowly pushed open the heavy cabin door and stepped onto the deck, where the sea breeze was gently blowing. The commotion outside had long since subsided, and through the porthole, she could see the pirate ship quietly aground on the golden sand.

Only after confirming that the crisis had passed did the former witch cautiously leave the room where she had been staying.

She stood at the ship's railing, her deep gaze fixed on the island before her, covered by an endless expanse of dense jungle.

Even from a distance, Medea could vaguely sense a vast energy brewing deep within the forest; the immense, pure spiritual power surged across the island like an invisible tide.

It is obvious that a rich and powerful ley line must be lurking beneath this land.

When Medea's gaze swept across the bustling scene on the beach and she saw the pirates nimbly dragging and cutting up the enormous pterosaur carcasses, her suspicions became even stronger.

It's important to understand that even these sub-dragon species, the pterosaurs, rely heavily on spiritual energy for their habitat and reproduction. The fact that such a dense population of pterosaurs resides here is irrefutable proof of the island's exceptionally abundant spiritual energy.

"If I can find the source where the earth's spiritual energy is most abundant... I can use a magic circle as a guide to connect with and draw upon that vast earth's spiritual energy!"

A daring idea flashed through Medea's mind like lightning: "If I use it to cleanse the sacred curse energy within me, then... the seal binding me will be broken in one fell swoop!"

A glimmer of hope and determination quietly ignited deep within her eyes.

Although Medea's own magic, along with Wang Chong's, was sealed and imprisoned by the "Holy Protective Array," this did not mean that she could not utilize the spiritual energy of the outside world.

The array sealed Medea's source of magic, but it could not completely sever her connection to and guidance of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

As for the chances of success, Medea had a pretty good idea of ​​what to expect. Most of the sacred energy of the protective array had flowed into Wang Chong's unfathomable body, and she was only bearing a very small portion of the seal.

After all, her strength was far inferior to Wang Chong's, and the amount of divine energy her body could bear was limited. If she could precisely control the boundless torrent of spiritual energy within the earth's veins, it would be enough to completely cleanse the remaining divine energy within her body!

However, the most pressing issue right now is how to avoid Wang Chong's omnipresent surveillance. You see, she not only needs to find the ley lines, but also needs to construct a magic array to cleanse the area with spiritual energy, all of which must be done secretly without alerting that man.

Medea's brows furrowed tightly, forming a worried frown. She racked her brains but couldn't find a perfect solution.

Just as Medea was worrying about avoiding Wang Chong, her gaze inadvertently swept across the entire empty deck.

At that moment, she suddenly realized that the familiar and fearsome figure was not here at all!

"Where did that guy go?" Medea muttered to herself, her mind filled with doubt.

She began to carefully look around, her gaze sweeping over every corner of the deck and then landing on the beaches on either side, where the waves were crashing. But Wang Chong was still nowhere to be seen.

A strange sense of anxiety crept into Medea's heart.

"Where did he go?" The confusion of not being able to find her made her feel somewhat lost.

Isn't this a golden opportunity? With Wang Chong gone, it's the perfect time for her to act alone and quietly search for the ley lines!

Medea knew how terrifying that man was, and she dared not take the risk. After all, who knew if this was a trap he had deliberately set, waiting for her to fall into it?

"Hmm?" Just as her thoughts were churning, Medea's sharp eyes caught sight of a busy figure on the beach—a one-eyed pirate.

This guy left a deep impression on her because he was always fawning over Wang Chong.

“If anyone could possibly know where that man is right now, it’s probably only this one-eyed man,” Medea quickly concluded.

She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and stepped off the gangplank towards the one-eyed pirate who was calmly directing the operation on the beach.

The soft sand beneath my feet gave me a slight sinking sensation, each step carrying a hint of tentative exploration.

"I can't fully grasp the nature of other pirates... Heaven knows if these lawless outlaws will take advantage of my vulnerability and harbor ill intentions towards me?"

Medea quickly calculated in her mind, thinking to herself:

"Only this one-eyed man is terrified of that man to the core, always meek and obsequious. For that man's sake, even if he had ten times the courage, he would never dare to lay a finger on me."

Even with this self-consolation, Medea, having lost her power, still felt a slight chill at her fingertips as she walked among the unbridled pirates, her heart pounding uneasily in her chest.

"Hey? Sister-in-law! What are you doing coming out of the cabin?!"

The one-eyed pirate caught a glimpse of the slender figure approaching him out of the corner of his eye. His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned around, calling out in a deliberately feignedly respectful tone.

Author Yae Sakura's latest work, "The Villain's Journey Starting from the Type-Moon World," is exclusively launched on Tianyu Literature!

"Sister-in-law..." Medea's chest tightened, forcibly suppressing the humiliation of this address. She had to endure it! She had to bear it! This false identity was her only protection.

"Well, I saw the ship has been docked for a long time... but... well, Brother Chong hasn't come back yet. I was worried, so I came out to check."

Medea cleared her throat, deliberately slowing her speech and trying to imitate a concerned tone. But when it came to addressing Wang Chong, she still hesitated.

She could never bring herself to say the word "husband," and even if she had to use that relationship, she couldn't bring herself to use that term.

In a rush, I quickly came up with the nickname "Brother Chong," which sounded intimate but not too over the top.

“Oh, you’re asking about the boss…” The one-eyed pirate didn’t suspect anything, taking it as normal concern, and immediately replied, “The boss said he’d first go into the forest to scout out the way and see if there was any danger. He instructed us to hurry up and build fortifications here so that those beasts in the sky won’t bother us again.”

He pointed to the pirates on the beach who were carrying timber and digging trenches.

Medea's eyes narrowed sharply. Wang Chong had already entered the forest... This was the perfect opportunity!

Now she could finally escape his suffocating gaze and search for traces of the ley lines.

"He went into the forest? Which direction did he go?" Medea suppressed her anxiety and asked in a calm tone.

"The direction... it's probably over there." The one-eyed pirate raised his hand and pointed to the entrance of a winding path worn deep into the edge of the dense forest.

“Okay.” Having obtained the exact location, Medea said no more and walked in that direction without hesitation. Her steps carried an undeniable firmness.

"Wait, wait! Sister-in-law! The forest is too dangerous! You should go back to the cabin for safety!" Seeing that Medea was really about to walk into the perilous forest, the one-eyed pirate's expression changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward, stretching out his right hand to try to stop her.

"Danger?" Medea stopped abruptly, turned around abruptly, and her beautiful face instantly turned frosty, her cold gaze piercing the one-eyed pirate. "If the forest isn't safe, does that mean this wrecked ship and this barren beach are absolutely safe?"

Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried the questioning tone of someone in a superior position:

"Look at the sky, how many pterosaurs are still circling? With just a bunch of you, are you really confident you can protect me? I'm going to find Brother Chong now. Only by his side is I truly safe!"

Having said that, she gave the other person no further chance and turned to continue walking into the deep shade of the woods.

"No, sister-in-law! The boss specifically instructed before he left that absolutely no one is allowed to enter the forest without permission!"

In desperation, the one-eyed pirate leaped past Medea, his massive body blocking her path like an iron tower, his tone hardening.

"Besides, the boss personally instructed you to stay in your cabin and rest..."

He deliberately dragged out his words, his single eye flashing with shrewdness and warning:

"Sister-in-law, you...you don't want to upset the eldest brother or even be punished when he comes back, do you? Being well-behaved and a sensible sister-in-law is better for everyone, don't you think?"

His words were loaded with meaning, and he emphasized the word "sensible" with particular clarity.

Medea's beautiful pupils contracted slightly, and she instantly understood the unspoken meaning behind the other party's words.

This man, despite his obsequious manner in front of Wang Chong, is genuinely intimidated by Wang Chong's power and dares not have any improper thoughts about himself.

But the other party's insight was so sharp that they seemed to have already seen through the true relationship between me and Wang Chong!

That last sentence, which was almost a complete betrayal and utterly blunt, was clearly a warning to himself, and he seriously suspected that he was planning to take advantage of Wang Chong's absence to escape!

"You lot! What are you all standing there for?!" Seeing that Medea was stunned by his words, the one-eyed pirate's eyes flashed with a hint of smugness. He immediately shouted at his subordinates, "Hurry up and take your sister-in-law back to the cabin to rest!"

Upon hearing the one-eyed pirate's order, several fierce-looking pirates immediately surrounded him.

Seeing that the other party was about to forcibly take her away, in the nick of time, Medea's mind raced, her face suddenly changed color, and an aura of imposing and unassailable authority suddenly erupted:

"How dare you! Anyone who dares to touch me with their filthy hands will be in for a second!"

The angry shout boomed like thunder, carrying a chilling, oppressive force. Her sharp gaze swept over the restless pirates like a knife:

"I think Brother Chong didn't kill you fools hard enough! He made you forget the rules so quickly and become ungrateful! What? Have you all forgotten what happened to those idiots who dared to harbor delusions and were the first to die at his hands a few days ago?!"

These words struck at the pirates' deepest fears. Instantly, memories of Wang Chong's ruthless slaughter of his comrades, like a demon descending to earth, vividly surfaced before their eyes.

The pirates who surrounded them seemed to be frozen in place, their faces ashen, no longer daring to take a step forward, and even subconsciously taking a step back.

Chapter 534 A New Servant?

"And you too!"

Medea suddenly turned her spear towards the one-eyed pirate, approaching him step by step, her eyes burning with a cold flame:

"You self-righteous fool! You think you've seen through everything? Let me tell you! If even a single hair on your head touches me today, guess how that man will deal with you?!"

As she questioned him sharply, she unexpectedly extended her slender, white hand, with a resolute air of mutual destruction, directly towards the one-eyed pirate's face:

"Come on! Since you think you're being so loyal, try stopping me with your body! Bet your life! Let's see if Brother Chong will praise your 'loyalty' or crush you like trash for daring to touch me!"

"!!!"

These words of venomous attack pierced the one-eyed pirate's psychological defenses like a poisoned arrow.
