Lord of the Magical Beasts

“Hehehe, Sir, asking this way is too slow, see what I can do!” The Corpse Wizard King let out a cackle, then picked on a pirate in each hand like an eagle, walking quickly toward the cabin.

Even though the two pirates had already confessed, the Corpse Wizard King had thought that asking them one question at a time was too slow, bringing the two pirates away after letting out a cold grunt.

Even though he did not know the mysterious Soul Tampering Technique like Yang Ling did, but as a Corpse Wizard king, he could use an undead magic called the Soul Searching Technique. He could forcefully gain access to the memories of another person just like Yang Ling could, at the price of some amount of mental energy and Magical Energy.

Soon, he successfully understood everything from the two pirates. He even knew about the pants the two pirates had worn when they were babies, much less about their mission. He quickly reported his findings to Yang Ling.

As it turned out, there were countless pirates on the vast ocean, amongst them, many were affiliated with the One-eyed Dragon. Ever since he failed in his surprise attack on the Wissen Castle, the One-eyed Dragon had gone into recluse, engaging in negotiations with a few mysterious pirates all day long. He left it all to his personal guards to communicate with the other pirates.

The black-haired pirate by the name of Fred and the other pirate whose name was Galic were both deserters. They were originally two ordinary pirates, but was brought up to become personal guards because the One-eyed Dragon had suffered heavy casualties during the battle at Wissen Castle.

In order to establish a firm control over all of the pirate leaders, One-eyed Dragon had used many methods to get them to consume the poisonous Crimson Pill and got them to exchange for the antidote by capturing young ladies or riches at regular time intervals. If they could not complete their mission, the pirates that were unable to obtain the antidote would suffer a disastrous fate. Their Magical Energy would gradually vanish, and their bodies would rot in the end, their fates worse than death.

The mission of the two pirates this time around was to patrol the area and get the pirates to exchange for the antidote using the beauties and riches they had pillaged, as well as to notify all of their affiliates to gather at the Ajax Island a month later.

“Hehehe, these two lads sure are unlucky, for them to get captured by our scouts the first time they come out for a mission!” Looking at the pale, limp pirates, the Corpse Wizard King let out a loud cackle.

The first time on a mission?

Those words meant more to Yang Ling than the Corpse Wizard King had intended!

Looking at the two blood-covered pirates, then looking at the boundless sea, Yang Ling thought up a bold idea.

He could destroy the gathering spot of the pirates if he instructed his army to surround the Mariana Islands; But posing as two pirates and infiltrating the area might provide him with even more information and allow him to capture the big fish that was the One-eyed Dragon.

From the memories of the two captives, One-eyed Dragon seemed to have turned into a different person after his failed attack at the Wissen Castle. His movements were random and unpredictable, and a few mysterious members of Sea Tribes would sometimes be seen around him. He communicated with his personal guards remotely through magical messages. It was quite impossible to directly find his living quarters and deal him the fatal blow.

However, the One-eyed Dragon would definitely appear at Ajax Island since he had gathered a large number of pirates. Posing as two pirates would not only give him the opportunity to get close to that crafty fox, there was a possibility for them to finish off the pirates in one fell swoop.

“Rodriguez, are you interested in posing as a pirate and going on a walk with me on the island?” Without hesitation, Yang Ling wanted to take action immediately after he had come to a conclusion.

Pose as a pirate?

The Corpse Wizard King was an experienced individual. He deliberated for a moment after hearing Yang Ling’s words and understood his plan, “Hehehe, alright, I’m very interested. There are many beautiful pirates on the island, how could I miss such a good chance!”

“Alright, do the necessary preparations, we leave immediately!”

“No, Sir, give me a day, we take action tomorrow evening!” Looking at the fearful captives, the Corpse Wizard King let out a cackle, remembering a few secret techniques that he had not used for some time, “Hehehe, we would either not play, or play something more exciting!”

Play something more exciting?

Yang Ling shook his head and left quickly after looking at the excited Corpse Wizard King, allowing him to do what he wanted. The Corpse Wizard King might seem to be zany and a little perverted from time to time, but he would not be careless when it came to the important things; He naturally would have his reasons for saying that.

One day passed in a flash.

The second evening, even though Yang Ling had mentally prepared himself, he was still shocked when he saw the two lifelike human-skin masks in the Corpse Wizard King’s hand.

He did not expect that the so-called excitement the Corpse Wizard King spoke of was to peel off the face of the two captives and turn them into human-skin masks. As for the two unlucky captives, they have long vanished without a trace. Yang Ling did not know if the Corpse Wizard King had pushed them into the sea, or turned them into two skeletons using undead magic.

“Hehehe, I’ve not done this for tens of thousands of years, my techniques are rusty. Sigh, back then…” The Corpse Wizard King shook his head, placing one of the human-skin masks on his face, then transformed into the pirate named Galic after muttering an incantation. Other than being a little too skinny, he did not look too different from the unlucky captive.

“Brother Fred, I wonder what beauties the bunch of bandits have snatched over this time around. We have to seize the time and try some of them!” The Corpse Wizard King let out a lecherous smile after putting on the clothes of the pirates. Not only was his appearance nearly identical, his voice was also extremely similar, much to Yang Ling’s awe.

The Corpse Wizard King sure lived up to his reputation as an ancient monster from the Dimension of Dead Souls!

After making the necessary preparations and turning into the pirate named Fred, Yang Ling and the Corpse Wizard King left the larger group and headed toward the Dark Sand Island, the largest island among the Mariana Islands, under the hazy moonlight, riding on a Siattu Sea Turtle. According to the memories of the two captives, that was the gathering spot of the Red Ant Pirates.

The Siattu Sea Turtle was a level five Magical Beast in the ocean. Its offensive capabilities were not strong, but is defensive powers were exceptional. It would retract its head if it encountered any accidents, repelling the attacks of its enemies using its hard tortoise shell. Other than the giant crossbows, the Pear Blossom Crossbow could not damage it.

Dark Sand Island was large, not much smaller than Wissen Town. Behind the long beaches were lush, green forests. Within the forest were large trees that looked like coconut trees, bearing dark green fruits.

“Hold it!”

“Hehe, to dare barge into our Dark Sand Island at night, you’re tired of living!”

…

Yang Ling and the Corpse Wizard King had just stepped onto the shore when a few naked pirates emerged from behind the pebbles on the beach. Some of them were holding tyre-sized heavy axes, some raising their sharp harpoons, others wielding black bows. It looks like even though there were not many pirates on the island, all of them were well trained and were gangsters who had been through hundreds of battles.

“Hmph, open your blood eyes and look at what this is. Get your leader out here!” The Corpse Wizard King disregarded the harpoons and catapults, raising the Skeleton Plaque that had been searched out of the captives.

Skeleton Plaque?

The pirates trembled as they looked at the black Skeleton Plaque in the hands of the Corpse Wizard King, lowering the weapons in their hands after recovering from their surprise, sending someone back to relay the message.

These mysterious people would come to the island once every two months and bring away a month’s loot they had worked so hard to obtain. Even though they did not know about their identities, even a fool would realize that the other party had a status that they could not afford to offend, seeing that even their leader had to give them respect.

The pirates moved quickly. Soon, a red-haired girl with two blades sheathed on her back walked over quickly, behind her a few female guards donning red armor. According to the memories of the captives, the red-haired girl in the lead should be the female leader of the Red Ant Pirates, Margaret.

Red hair that danced in the wind, the two blades sheathed at her back, coupled with her voluptuous figure, the female leader looked exceptionally sexy. Her alluring fair skin was visible through her thin light armor; Her busty peaks wobbled with her movements, so full that it nearly exploded out of her clothes!

“Sirs, welcome to our Dark Sand Island!” From far away, the female leader let out a radiant smile.

“Tsk tsk, I’ve long heard from the brothers that there’s a beautiful leader on the Dark Sand Island, now that I’ve seen her, how is she merely described as beautiful!” After stealing a glance at the voluptuous figure of the female leader, Yang Ling was all smiles as he continued, “Only seeing the glamor of Miss Margaret today the greatest loss of our lives!”

“It shouldn’t be too late to get to know each other now?” Looking at Yang Ling posing as Fred, the female leader had a glint in her eyes. She then returned to normal, pretending to ask a casual question, “I heard that Sir Holstein had been transferred to the Carribean Sea in the north, might I ask if you have any news about him?”

Holstein?

Looking at the female leader Margaret pretending to be casual, Yang Ling’s heart shook, knowing that the other party was still suspicious of the Corpse Wizard King and his identity even with the Skeleton Plaque.

Holstein was a normal guard by the side of the One-eyed Dragon, his appearance and abilities average. He had died by a stray arrow while participating in the surprise attack on the Wissen Castle, but outsiders would definitely not have an impression of him. However, if Yang Ling and the Corpse Wizard King were true to the identities, as personal guards of the One-eyed Dragon, they would definitely know about Holstein.

“Unfortunately, Brother Holstein had met with misfortune some time ago and has returned to the embrace of the Sea God!” Yang Ling had a grim expression, shaking his head while pretending to be in a heavy mood, “In that battle, many of our brothers had been killed by a passing arrow. Galic and me were luckier, not only following the leader back to sea, but also fortunately became one of his personal guards a few days ago!”

They had just became the leader’s personal guards?

Hearing Yang Ling say this, looking at the foreign faces, the cautious female leader Margaret had an epiphany. She no longer had any suspicions, bringing them into a highly defended castle.

After taking many turns, she brought Yang Ling and the Corpse Wizard King into a row of small wooden huts, with a dozen fearful ladies locked into each hut. There were teenagers about seventeen to eighteen years of age, as well as alluring ladies of about twenty years old; In fact, there were even a few little girls who were only as tall as his chest, twelve years old at most.

“Sir, the situation is a little tight recently. The Magical Beast Territory had sent over a large number of soldiers to track our whereabouts!” The female leader Margaret had an ugly expression, deliberating for a moment before continuing, “However, according to the requirements of the Evil Demon Island, these ladies over here are classified as premium. Sir, can you give us a discount this time around?”

Evil Demon Island?

Looking at the female leader Margaret who had a troubled expression, Yang Ling had a thought, knowing that he might have unintentionally caught wind of a big secret. Even as personal guards of the One-eyed Dragon, there were no memories of the Evil Demon Island within the two captives. That showed just how secretive the so-called Evil Demon Island was!

Just where is this Evil Demon Island, why do they need this many beautiful ladies? What is the secret behind this mysterious island?

Yang Ling had many questions as he looked at the ladies in the wooden huts, each one more beautiful than the other.
