BAM!
Nioh's back slammed into the wall of the spaceship.
"Why were the three eyes nation after you?" Josephine asked, forcing his shoulder to the wall.
"So you know they were the three eyes nation? Why did you still help me?!" Nioh asked back with a frown.
"What a stubborn kid."
"....?"
Nioh looked over Josephine's shoulder, and watched as the chair spun around, revealing a man with two golden wolf ears, and blood-red eyes.
'What a strange combination.' He thought.
"Strange combination?" Sunny raised an eyebrow.
"...?!"
Nioh was stunned:
'Did... Did he just hear my thoughts?'
Sunny stood up, and walked towards him, his cape sweeping the starship polished floor.
"You think you are anything special?"
He snapped a finger and the Artifact appeared out of thin air.
".....?!"
".....!!"
Josephine and Nioh were stunned.
"Hiding something from the king of wolves? Are you that dump?"
He added as the artifact landed on his palm.
{Name: Birth blood star.}
{Origin: Unknown. (Egg).}
{Rank: Master rank, stage one.}
{Skills: Blood sucker: Can drain all the blood of anyone five meters radii from the user. Star burn: Create a mini star which is strong enough to wipe out a small city. Star steps: With each step taken, the user's speed and attack increases by 5%. Blood manipulation: Can manipulate and transform the blood into any non-living objects.}
'Oh?! An egg?! And it's one powerful bastard!' Sunny thought in mild shock.
"You!! Give that back!!"
Before Nioh could move, a sword appeared in Josephine's grasp, and rested on his neck.
Nioh gulped in, staring at the golden weapon in her hand:
'A grand class weapon?' He moved his gaze around the spaceship:
'Now that I think of it... This is the royal starship.'
"Who are you guys?!!" He hissed out.
"Queen Josephine of the Beastify race and..."
Sunny walked towards the couch, and sat down:
"I am the king of the Beastify race."
"....?"
Nioh stared at the two like they had both grown two heads.
"Hahahaha!"
He burst out laughing, not even bothered about the sword on his neck.
"You mean she is Queen Josephine?" He asked gesturing to Josephine with his head.
Both Josephine and Sunny raised an eyebrow with his sudden laughter... Seeing the two were lost, Nioh stopped laughing.
"You really don't know anything?" He asked in utter confusion.
"Know what?" Sunny asked with a frown.
"Ok... There are words circulating around the three-eyes nation, and other nations that the Beastify humans will be wiped out in a week by the Wendigos..."
He paused and continued:
"The other nine nations are now planning on ways to take all the Beastify human territories, at least divide it between themselves."
"Those! Those bastards!!" Josephine hissed out.
"You sure about this?" Sunny asked in a calm tone, his gaze fixed on the egg in his hand.
"Yes! My source is never wrong." Nioh said.
"That is good..." He said.
"....?"
The two turned to Sunny in confusion:
"How is that good?" Josephine asked.
"The Wendigos will attack in a week, and because of this, the whole galaxy have eyes on us, waiting for our doom... But if we defeat the Wendigos; the nations will know we aren't pushovers."
'System?'
{Master can hatch the egg by just infusing his Celestial energy in the egg. Note! When a crack appears, Master must drop his blood through the crack.}
Sunny nodded and stood up:
"A week? I only wish it could be sooner." He added.
Josephine and Nioh looked at one another then turned to Sunny, staring at him like he was a fool.
"Is he really your husband?" Nioh whispered.
"Shut up."
".....!"
"Ok Nioh..."
Sunny turned to Nioh and walked towards him, stopping a foot away:
"You have two options, Join me, and become my shadow... You will receive five hundred thousand Galaxy crystals per month. If you serve me well, you will gain more treasures."
Out of everything Sunny said, Nioh only heard 'five hundred thousand Galaxy crystals per month'
"I agree!!" He quickly yelled which caught Sunny and Josephine off-guard.
"You accept? Even knowing about the attack heading to the Beastify kingdom?" Josephine asked in confusion.
"Yes!" He stated.
'Come on Queen! That is 500k galaxy crystals! Who will refuse it?!' Nioh thought, and added:
'If I have enough money... I can have my revenge on the three-eyes nation, and also get the pirates under my control... Isn't that great?'
Sunny frowned at his thought, turned around and walked back to the couch:
'I will give you enough money that you will never leave... But first, let's visit these pirates, they will be helpful to me.' He thought, and settled on the couch.
Josephine kept her sword and let go of Nioh, who turned to Sunny with a smile:
"My King, do you want to know what is the artifact?" He asked.
Beep!
"....?"
Nioh brought out his phone, and his eyes widened seeing 500k in his account balance.
"That is your payment for this month." Sunny said and added:
"I know what this is."
"Thank you, Thank you, My King!" Nioh said with a bow.
"Now Nioh... Can you remove that hood?" Sunny asked.
Nioh nodded and removed his hood, revealing shoulder-length blue hair and three blue eyes.
"Good... Now, give me the coordinates of the pirate hideout."
"Pirates?" Nioh was stunned, but quickly nodded his head, and gave Sunny the coordinates, who sent it to his cosmic brain.
{Destination changed}
{Hold on for a space jump.}
Josephine and Nioh quickly rushed to different seats, and sat down, fastening their seatbelts.
{Space jump in 3, 2, 1.}
WHOOSH!!!
The starship shot forward, disappearing in space.
______
In a small planet hidden in space, and from the eyes of the nations, sat the stronghold of the pirates, a group consisting of countless races who only have eyes on freedom, robbing, pleasure and most of all money... Everything that any man's dream of having...
But now... They were in a tough situation... The nations have strengthened all their defenses, making stealing and plundering difficult for their group, so they could only vent their anger on their leaders, demanding for a situation.
Amidst this chaos, a royal starship suddenly appeared in the planet's atmosphere, instantly silencing them all.
