Chapter 254: chapter 254- Strom?
Night fell when they had just crossed the Celtic Sea; if nothing happened, in the morning, they would enter a larger ocean. It would be easier if they took the land route, unlike when going by sea, which required them to take a detour.
So their journey will be quite long; if the wind conditions remain stable, then at the earliest, they will pass through the Strait of Gibraltar in seven or eight days.
At night, the wind speed slowed down a bit, making the ship sail at a fairly stable speed, and with fairly stable waves, they chose to party with the drinks that Taufik had provided.
The sound of singing could be heard at the table they were using, happy cheers could be heard from here and there, and the moonlight without a single cloud added to the beautiful atmosphere of that night.
Aksara looked like he was having fun while enjoying the story that the crew told and once tried to drink Liquor because he was curious about the taste but was stopped by Lembuswana. Marzuki and Taufik could only smile thinly when they saw this as they looked at the commotion in between when they were both also involved in a conversation.
"... So, you're a Noble? No, a king from the Unknown Kingdom?" Marzuki asks when he finishes hearing Taufik's story.
"I don't want to brag, but yeah, you could say that"
"Heh~ So, should I call you Your Majesty now, Your Majesty?"
Marzuki said in a teasing tone. This made Taufik frown, recognizing the expression that Marzuki made from his mother, Linda.
'... Did Mom keep teasing me, because she imitates my father?'
Taufik thought but stopped before he found the answer and then continued to say to Marzuki.
"... No, I'm not a fan of formality, I'd rather you treat me the way you've been doing these past few days"
"Well~ That's new, usually nobles like to brag about their position"
"Not me"
"... But Noble, huh? That's quite convincing, seeing as the clothes you're wearing are high-class clothes, but what a king like you do out here, Instead of take care of your kingdom?"
"As I said before, I want to spend the rest of my time with Aksa, so at least he has a memory for him to remember when I'm no longer by his side"
"..."
Hearing this, Marzuki could only remain silent, from what he saw, Taufik looked like a healthy person, except for his skin which was a little too pale for a man, but other than that, Marzuki saw Taufik as someone who didn't have much time left, Marzuki was a little hesitant to ask, but in the end, he dared to ask.
"... Is it an acute disease that has no cure?"
"... Yes? Oh~ You can say that"
"
*Sigh*
It would be a shame for the world to lose a strong person like you"
"Well~ It's not like I will disappear from this world or anything"
"... Wha-"
*Loud Trumpet Sound*
Marzuki's words were stopped by a very loud trumpet sound that came from who knows where and at the same time...
*Shaking*
The ship that was running steadily suddenly shook.
"What! What happened?!"
Shouted one of the crew, but the ship continued to shake even harder; the waves that were initially calm were now raging, and the night sky that was initially cloudless was now filled with dark clouds; this change in weather was so sudden that it was unnatural.
The waves grew stronger, crashing against the right and left sides of the ship as if their ship had been marked by something, causing the ship to tilt thirty degrees; the crew, who were initially having fun, now looked a little panicked, holding on to something so they wouldn't fall into the ocean.
Strong winds made matters worse with some of the ship's sails still spread wide,
Taufik frantically searches for Aksara and breathes a sigh of relief when he sees that he is currently floating with the help of Lembuswana.
"... WHAT'S WITH THIS SUDDEN WEATHER CHANGE, OLD MAN! IS THIS NORMAL?!!" Taufik shouted at Marzuki.
"WE'VE GOT STUCK IN STORMS OFTEN, BUT NOT SUDDENLY LIKE THIS; NO MATTER HOW YOU LOOK AT IT, THIS IS NOT NORMAL!!" Marzuki answered.
"F*ck! Is this the work of the gods again?"
"WHAT?!!"
"... NOTHING... THINK HOW CAN WE GET OUT OF THIS SITUATION?!!"
"WHAT?! DO YOU THINK I CAN CONTROL THE SEA?! ARE YOU STUPID?!! IT'S YOU WHO SHOULD DO SOMETHING; YOU'RE A MAGICIAN, REMEMBER?"
"I AM, BUT I'M NOT MY WIFE!!"
"WHAT? WHAT YOU'RE WIFE HAS TO DO WITH THIS?!!"
"WELL! SHE CAN CONTROL THE EARTH!!"
"WHAT?!! WHAT EXACTLY IS YOUR FAMILY?"
"CAPT!! IT'S NOT THE TIME TO TALK ABOUT FAMILY, AT THIS RATE WE ALL WILL DIE HERE!!"
Shouted one of the crew members closest to Taufik and Marzuki.
"... LOOK! WHAT IS THAT?!!"
Shouted one of the crew, hearing this, Marzuki and Taufik directed their gazes to the area the crew meant.
Not far from them, pillars of water were visible, and they moved like living creatures.
"... W-WHAT THE F*CK IS THAT?!!"
"LOOK! IT'S COMING AT US!! IT IS HOW WE WILL DIE?!!"
"HAHAHA! WHAT A FUNNY WAY TO DIE!!"
"GUYS! NO MATTER WHAT, I WAS HAPPY TO DIE WITH ALL OF YOU, LET'S MEET AGAIN IN OUR NEXT LIFE!!"
The crew began to talk as if they were ready to face death, they could not do anything, with the increasingly chaotic situation, the ship was swaying uncontrollably, and abnormal waves were hitting them from both sides, plus the strange phenomenon of a kind of water pillar that seemed to be winding towards them very quickly, the hope of survival was very small.
"Ah! Shit!!"
Said Taufik, and quickly he manifested his Mana wings and flew.
Seeing the ship below drifting without control and Aksara who was still safe under the protection of Lembuswana, Taufik sighed.
'... Imagination Magic - Telekinesis!'

Taufik then moved his hand upwards and at the same time, the ship below also rose into the air.
"Ughh!"
Taufik felt a little dizzy in his head, but with that, the ship stopped swaying. But...
"... Ehh!"
The strong wind and the ship's sails that were still wide made the ship move following the wind, and automatically, Taufik was also carried away by the wind.
"... F*ck! I will kill whoever does this"
Said Taufik, and with the power of his mind, he pulled back the ship that was being carried away by the wind with all his might, but the longer he used the power of Telekinesis, the stronger the headache he felt.
Some of the water pillars that looked alive were also getting closer to the ship; seeing this, Taufik cursed.
'Imagination Magic - Barrier!'
Thus, a Barrier large enough to encompass the ship and Taufik was created, which instantly prevented the wind from entering the area within the Barrier.
After that, the situation started to improve a little, and the sea area covered by the barrier also became calm, unlike the area outside the barrier.
Seeing this, Taufik slowly lowered the ship into the sea, but another incident occurred.
*Loud Trumpet Sound*
With the sound of the trumpet heard again, the sea area inside the barrier started acting up again, but this time, instead of waves, the seawater formed large, sharp thorns in quite large numbers and shot straight toward the ship and Taufik.
"F*ck!"
Taufik cursed again and then created another layer of barrier that separated the Sea and the ship.
*Splash!*
The sound of water hitting the Barrier at full speed was heard, but fortunately, none of it managed to penetrate the barrier.
Taufik took a breath of relief after seeing this and then lowered the ship above the barrier because if he used Telekinesis any longer, Taufik felt that his head would explode.
"Damn it! Who did this?"
Said Taufik and slowly approached the ship which from the outside would look like it was floating in the air.
"Papa"
The first to run to greet Taufik was Aksara, who looked fine, unlike the crew, who looked like they had been separated from their souls.
"Fik, What are the gods doing again?" Ask Lembuswana.
"Seems so, Seeing how the sea seems to be controlled, this seems to be Poseidon's doing"
"
*Sigh*
What kind of bad luck is this? Why do I keep getting caught like this when I'm with you?"
"What? It's my fault again?"
"What do you think?"
"..."
"What are you guys talking?"
Marzuki asked, approaching Taufik while holding his head which was a little dizzy because of the excessive shaking.
"... It's nothing, What about the condition of the crew? Is someone missing"
Hearing this, Marzuki looked around and counted the people on the ship; a few moments later, he looked back at Taufik and said.
"... Everyone is here, Thank you for this, having you here is a fortune for us"
Said Marzuki who expressed his gratitude without knowing that all this happened to them because of Taufik's presence on their ship.
"It's nothin-"
"Impressive, Human"
"!!!"
