Chapter 728: Chapter 298: The Spread of Faith in Progress (6k)_3
But Harry didn’t really need these entertainments.
Ever since his successful promotion that day, he and his friend Orika gathered at the Star Port to board the ship, and he hasn’t had the chance to practice his abilities.
During these days’ space journey, besides eating and sleeping, he has been busy with this.
For the average Transcendent, practicing abilities is like making students do homework, it’s sheer torture.
But for Harry, who always dreamed of becoming a Transcendent and has finally achieved his wish, this is his greatest joy.
Leaving the pitch-black porthole, Harry turned back to the desk adorned with several pots of plants and opened yesterday’s notes.
"Hmm, I remember yesterday I was practicing trying to communicate with animals...
Unfortunately, I didn’t have the chance to buy a pet, so I couldn’t test this ability, let’s try the next one first.
Spirit Whip, a preliminary application of spiritual abilities, attacking the target by controlling spiritual power, causing pain similar to lashes.
Merged with speaking to creatures into Tier Two [Beast Whisperer] the foundation for taming Low-tier Transcendent creatures, corresponding to the two core elements of taming: communication and Intimidation.
But this ability can also be used as a basic attack ability, to inflict spiritual damage on enemies...
But where can I find a target to test on, should I really use this ability on these plants?"
Harry fell into thought, not because he couldn’t bear it or had any special feelings for these plants, but because he was considering a very real question.
The Spirit Whip, as the name suggests, lashes at the spirit, but do plants have a spirit?
Just as Harry was pondering whether to try it, a sudden roar interrupted his thoughts.
BOOM—
The shock from the ship was followed by huge inertia, even the view outside the porthole returned to the Starry Sky.
"The ship’s warp has been interrupted?"
Although he had never encountered this situation before, with some understanding of space travel, he immediately made the judgment.
Glancing at the view outside the window confirmed it wasn’t entering the Star Port, he could basically confirm they encountered an accident, and accidents in deep space generally have only a few possibilities.
Harry immediately thought of several possibilities.
Soon, the ship’s piercing alarm verified his thoughts:
"Attention passengers, attention passengers, the ship has encountered space pirates. Passengers please do not panic, follow the arrangements to prevent chaos, the ship’s shield is enough to hold until we disengage from the space anchor, and re-enter warp..."
The Captain’s voice soothed the passengers, but anyone with a little knowledge understood, if these space pirates have made a move, there was no way the shield wouldn’t be breached.
He had heard of this method before, laying a simple space trap in some more remote lanes, lying in wait to capture passing ships just like landmines on a highway, exploding the destined ones.
Having ascertained this, Harry quickly got up to open the door. Sure enough, Orika and other Crimson Believers had also emerged from the corridor.
"Pirate attack, those pirates will soon breach the ship shield. For profit, they will quickly turn to board the ship, everyone prepare for battle.
This is our first appearance in the Starry Sky, do not disgrace the Lord of Red Moon!"
Before Harry could voice his deduction from experience, he heard a voice coming from the other end of the hallway.
Turning to look, in the deserted corridor, starlit crimson light converged, forming Vlad’s body as he walked towards them step by step.
"This is the true Transcendent!"
Harry was exhilarated; the envy in his eyes was undisguised.
As if to validate Vlad’s words, just as he finished speaking, the ship erupted in several more booming sounds.
This time the broadcast from the Captain was no longer comforting, but informing them the ship had been breached and was recruiting onboard Transcendents to try and fend off the pirate attack.
"Let’s move, the Captain is distributing Abnormal Objects, let’s face this group of space pirates!
I’ll go first!"
With a wave of Vlad’s hand, red light disappeared once more.
The Captain Vlad mentioned was Orika, a 4th Rank Transcendent, the Captain who possessed numerous Abnormal Objects.
These were meant for their promotion, using them temporarily now could quickly grant many temporary Tier Three to 4th Rank combat power.
Harry soon received a tooth-like Abnormal Object from Orika.
"Corresponding to Tier Three [Vampire], with abilities of confusion and control, self-healing..."
In Harry’s heart immediately rose the corresponding Transcendent ability matching his next rank, he followed the main group heading towards the combat area.
By the time they arrived at the ship’s hall, the battle inside was already underway.
At first sight, Harry saw Vlad in the center of the battlefield, lavishly wielding Crimson Magic Power.
The crimson magic power like blood, spilling out achieving various effects, some turning into withered bloody hands imprisoning people, others into corrosive liquid burning enemies to screams.
But more hit the lone 5th rank among the pirates.
If there were any Paradise Contractors present, they would have seen that enemy now burdened with over ten negative buffs, their 5th rank strength forcibly reduced to 4th rank, held by a 4th rank passenger.
