The Return of the Greatest Ship Captain
52. Death Mountain

As Eden was waiting for food to come with Azurea and Albina, Eden looked around, trying to get useful information from the talk that people were doing.

"I heard that the Mission Association Members are heading back to the Mountain of Death!"

"Really, what happened?"

"Said those who went from there, finding that there was a strange Monster that would attack anyone, it made it difficult for the Association Members to climb Death Mountain!"

"Hey that's old news!"

"Then what's the latest news!"

"It says that there is a beautiful woman near Death Mountain, anyone who meets her will definitely lose their eyes!"

"Hey, don't joke! There can't be such a thing!"

"He's right!"

"No, what he said was true, Tuaoski had met him, proof that he had lost his left eye, right?"

"What! So it's true!"

"Damn it! Actually what the hell is behind Death Mountain, until there are so many deaths there!"

"Hey hey did you forget or what?"

"That's because of a Man named Dogtrai who once reached the place of the Angels! Who did something intimate with the Queen of Angels! That's why Death Mountain is always filled with people who were killed in various ways."

"Dogtrai? Who's that?"

"You don't know!"

"Hey you forgot he's only been here a year!"

"ah! You right! Dogtrai was formerly a Doctor, himself able to cure many patients, but once there was a beautiful woman who had a strange disease."

"Dogtrai then tried every means to cure the woman, over time the two became closer and eventually married each other!"

"Really, then?"

"But the longer the condition of the beautiful woman who became the wife of Dogtrai worsened, in the end it made Dogtrai desperate, he did not want his wife to die until one day he heard on the Mountain which is now called the Mountain of Death, it is said that there are various kinds of herbal plants that can cure various types of diseases that exist."

"Yes! I also often look for herbs and find them there!"

"Shhhh! Do you want me to tell you a story or not?"

"Sorry..."

"Dogtrai, who heard the rumors, asked his wife for permission to go to the mountain, so that he could find herbs that could cure his wife's illness, but for days, weeks, weeks, for months Dogtrai could not find it."

"Then?"

"Him almost going crazy! Until he accidentally saw a creature that looked like a human flying in the sky! He then went to follow the creature."

"Knowing himself followed, made the creature approach the Dogtrai! Then Dogtrai explained his point, asking if he could ask for help to find a cure for his wife."

"Did he really meet an angel?"

"Yes! Some people would also occasionally encounter Angels flying in the sky!"

"Well, then what's next?"

"The angel told Dogtrai that he could not help looking for her, but Dogtrai could go looking for her himself, where the Dogtrai was taken by the Angels to the place of the Angels."

"There the Dogtrai searched for various plants that could cure his wife's illness, until finally the Queen of the Angels found out about the Dogtrai, where the Queen told her men to invite Dogtrai..."

"Then?"

"Dogtrai agreed, thinking that the Queen might have a way to cure his wife's illness, after talking to the Queen, the two became closer to each other..."

"Don't say!"

"Yes until the two have feelings for each other, and end up having intercourse..."

"Dogtrai! He's a fucking waji*ngan guy! His wife was very ill and he did something like that with another woman!"

"Dogtrai, of course, still has a conscience, apologizes to the Queen, and intends to return here because he cannot find a way to cure his wife, the Queen then gave a way to cure Dogtrai's wife..."

"Really it!"

"Unfortunately when Dogtrai got here, his wife had died trying to find her husband who went to the mountain, it made Dogtrai so sad that he became desperate, he told me everything that happened to the locals..."

"..."

"At that time no one believed him, he then decided to leave here, and chose to stay in the mountain, until finally because it was too long alone it made him go crazy, who then ended his own life on the mountain, that's why it's called the Mountain of Death."

"Also from the rumors that circulated the monster was the incarnation of the Dogtrai Soul who became crazy, because during his life he could not keep his heart, from his own wife, because, so for every man he kills, the heart of the man will be taken, while for the woman the incarnation of the Soul of Uto the wife of the Dogtrai, who will take the eyes of every man he meets, so that the person does not turn away from seeing things that are much more beautiful."

"Wow... Damn it's an amazing story!"

"Haha! That's right, isn't it!"

Eden who heard their talk ended, then focused on the food that had just come.

As they say, Dogtrai did, because that's why he knew how to get out of the Black Sea and all sorts of other things, which he wrote about in his notebook, it was in the cave where he lived.

Eden of course had fought with Dogtrai in a previous life, strange women who said the incarnation of the soul of Uto the wife of the Dogtrai had also faced Eden, even Eden killed both of them, both are calm in other realms.

After the meal, Eden went with Azurea and Albina to their room.

"Let's go to sleep, Albina are you sleeping under understand?" Eden immediately told Azurea to go up to the bed.

Seeing Azurea who was agitated, making Eden confused, he immediately asked Azurea.

"What's wrong?"

"Are you finally going to bind my body, then play my body as you please?" Azurea asked in a hopeful tone, Eden who heard her was astonished, she forgot that Azurea was an M woman, who liked to be treated harshly, what else in an intimate relationship.

"Don't rush the reader still a little, wait for more readers I will do..."

"You mean?"

"It's okay, just sleep I'm tired..." Eden gave no answer and chose to rest, which made Azurea a little disappointed.

...

Now Eden, Azurea, and Albina headed downstairs, where the three decided to have breakfast.

After eating, the three decided to leave from there, before Eden returned the key to the inn room, then went towards the direction of the Mountain of Death.

"Azurea, back in the Sign Carving, Albina go back into the Contract Beings room, I will fight and I don't want any of you to trouble me..."

"All right..."

"Awwooo..."

Seeing the two disappear, Eden then walked towards where Dogtrai was supposed to be, after walking for a while Eden finally found the Dogtrai's nest.

Eden didn't have to go deeper, because the Dogtrai were walking out of the nest.

Within the dark and mysterious forest, the aura of the battle between Eden and the strange monster that was Dogtrai was unfolding with a intensity that began to rise sharply.

Eden stood in the middle of the forest, in both hands a fire lit with such great intensity.

Eden focused his energy, preparing himself for the upcoming fight.

In front of Eden, Dogtrai was seen running very fast, a strange humanoid monster depicting a combination of reptiles and lizards, his body was sturdy and strong, looking scaly with a long tail.

His lizard-like face was filled with a murderous appetite to crush Eden, the sharp claws on both of his arms showing his strength.

As the battle began, Eden moved at an incredible speed, where Eden glided and revolved around the Dogtrai, burning the air around with both hands which let out flames.

Transparent shields appeared around Eden's body, providing additional protection, which although not much useful could at least provide a little extra safety for Eden, but Dogtrai with very fast reflexes, able to avoid all fire attacks launched by Eden.

The monster slid forward at a speed that made it difficult for the eyes to follow it, the Dogtrai made use of its powerful body and sharp claws to attack Eden.

Unfortunately the fire power that came from the fists of Eden, was able to burn the Dogtrai skin, whenever the Dogtrai moved closer to Eden.

The atmosphere grew tense as Eden cleverly used her ability to move, she moved from place to place very quickly.

Several times, Eden appeared suddenly behind the Dogtrai, hitting him with the fist of fire attack he had.

But Dogtrai did not give up so easily, on several occasions, he was able to fend off the attacks, with his agile movements and able to avoid attacks that could endanger his life.

Dogtrai resisted in a rude gesture, then Dogtrai let out a burst of fire from his mouth that hit the area around him.

Slowly but surely Eden began to take control of the battle, where Eden took advantage of his rapid movements, and used the agility he had to make Dogtrai difficult.

Dogtrai began to be desperate, trying to survive in increasingly difficult circumstances, Eden immediately used it to continue to launch an attack, where Eden maximized the power of fire he had in his right hand, then Eden used his right hand to hit Dogtrai's stomach, causing Dogtrai to crash into several trees.

When the wounded Dogtrai tried to stand up, Eden got a chance, he immediately made his left hand burn by a much larger fire, in one last move, Eden launched an attack towards the Dogtrai, the attack hit Dogtrai's body creating a huge explosion, crushing Dogtrai's body into dust.

The scorching sun shone on Eden's body, when Eden thought it was over, Eden was suddenly attacked, but Eden immediately avoided it, when Eden saw the person who attacked him, Eden was surprised, Eden was surprised, because the one who attacked him was Uto.

Gritting his teeth, Eden's gaze became sharp, he raised his hand, igniting the flame that was once again burning, in an instant Eden disappeared from its place and appeared next to Uto at lightning speed.

Uto with her charming but strange beauty, looked at Eden with eyes without any sign of life, in an instant wild plants began to grow from Uto's body, and looked at Eden with eyes without any sign of life, the branching twigs formed a strong protective layer around him.

Eden swung his hand towards Uto, unfortunately as Eden got closer, the plant that protected Uto responded quickly, where the twigs moved quickly protecting Uto's entire body, at once Uto smiled strangely satisfied as if mocking Eden, Uto then used the roots from the ground to attack Eden, but Eden jumped away.

The battle heats up as Eden uses her ability to evade all Uto's attacks, Eden then creates a transparent shield, but it is instantly destroyed, and the onslaught of plants immediately approaches the attack from all directions.

The longer the fight lasted, the more tired he became it was clearly felt by Eden.

As fatigue began to show Eden's movements becoming slower, Uto saw this opportunity and quickly grew more roots from the ground, he used it to attack Eden, The roots were suddenly coiled around Eden's feet which Eden was caught off guard, trapping Eden to stop moving.

Eden tried to break away, but the roots became stronger, tying Eden's legs.

In that tense moment, a sharp root instantly pierced through Eden's stomach, a sharp pain approached, and blood began to rush from her wound.

Eden endured the pain, but as Eden's strength began to fade, her body trembled and her breath gasped, she tried to stay upright, but her legs felt weaker.

"Acollins... Lend me your strength..." Eden took a deep breath.

A bright light emanated from Eden's wounds, the wound in Eden's belly closed and the blood stopped flowing, leaving Eden's body in a state of freshness.

In an instant the air around Eden felt strange, before finally the water gathered around Eden.

Eden attacked Uto with a deadly water attack, the water was hurtling towards Uto at a shocking speed, hitting Uto with great force, the water droplets turned into sharp needles, and, penetrating protective plant Uto.

The battle heats up as Uto tries to fight off the water attacks launched by Eden, using his superhuman speed and reflexes to evade several attacks, while the wild plants around him try to keep protecting him, unfortunately Eden managed to corner Uto and force him to survive the constant attacks.

Both of them are getting tired as the battle goes on for longer, Eden still maintains a strong water attack, while Uto tries to control the surrounding plants to fight and defend, their bodies scratched and pierced, while Uto tries to control the surrounding vegetation, it produces wounds and blood that flows, to each other.

Seeing Uto starting to let his guard down, Eden immediately took advantage of the moment, in an instant he gathered the strength in his hand, before rushing towards Uto with uncontrollable force.

Uto's body that was hit by the attack from Eden began to shake violently, the plants around him began to shatter into pieces, then Uto suddenly just exploded into bloody flesh.

Eden, who had exhausted her remaining energy, slumped to the ground in exhaustion, breathing heavily and her body filled with injuries.
