Chapter 296
🕑 Added 2024-11-24 02:00:03 +0000 UTCAll the mages in the deck stayed there for two more hours and after that, the Supreme Wizard Numinor announced that the attack from the ghost ship was done. Everyone cheered loudly again then began to disperse.
The three supreme wizards chatted with Anton about general things but mostly they kept telling him that his bloodline spell was useful and what was unsaid was that if something like this happened again, they would appreciate it if he would support the mages with his health and energy regeneration spell again.
“Again, sirs, I’m just happy that I was able to help,” Anton reiterated and the three powerful wizards looked at him with appreciation.
Anton knew that what they appreciated was his action of being or acting humble even though it would be excusable for him to act arrogant due to his age.
While he was walking back to his family suite being guided by one of the sailors, the voice of Captain Robertson reverberated from the hidden ship’s speakers announcing that the battle had ended with the Amelia successfully escaping the Undead Coalition’s attack and that there were no casualties and the ship did not receive any damages.
Anton briefly checked the time and saw that it was around three in the afternoon. When he arrived in the suite, as expected everyone was there with worried faces. He was surprised to see that Antonia, Lucia, Walter, and Phillip were there as well.
When he entered the suite, his father and Anna ran to him and hugged him fiercely. The others allowed Anton’s father and sister some alone time first.
“I’m so happy that you’re all right,” Anders told his son.
Anton was surprised that Anna was crying and he was about to tease his sister but decided to be sensitive and hold off on doing that.
After several minutes everyone approached him. The girls hugged him while the others shook his hand or tapped his shoulders commenting that they were happy that the battle had ended with no casualties.
Of course, Anton had to tell them what happened during the battle so they all sat at the dining table and he had to give blow-by-blow details of the attack of the three undead ships. He gave a good description of the undead ships, the spells that the undead cast to attack the Amelia, and the two undead dragons that rose from the enemy ships to attack them.
Anton was gratified to see that the girls were clutching each other with his telling of the battle as if they were listening to a particularly scary story since it meant that everyone was starting to relax and was treating the attack as some sort of entertainment. He didn’t want his family and friends to live in fear of the attack.
“According to the supreme wizards that should be the last attempt that the Undead Coalition will attack our ships since soon we will be out of the vicinity of the Rendindura Continent,” Anton assured everyone.
Anton could feel everyone relaxing and that was his goal. That meant that during the battle which took several hours, everyone was truly tense and scared, even the men and now that he was here safe and sound including all the participants, everyone began releasing the tension that they were feeling.
It appeared that no one wanted to move so he asked them if they wanted to watch a movie.
“Choose an uplifting film,” Anton’s father said.
Anton couldn’t think of any so he did a quick research on the internet but there were so many recommendations and most of them were set in modern times so he decided to just show everyone the musical The Sound of Music. It’s a joyful film so he was sure that the movie would remove the stress that the battle brought to everyone. He thought the main cause of the tense feeling that everyone experienced was the fact that they were able to see the battle situation.
Everyone went to the mini theater that was arranged in the corner inside their suite and Anton immediately played the film without doing any introduction.
At first, Anton thought that some of them might get bored with the movie since it was not an action, adventure film but he was happy to see that it appeared everyone was enjoying the film, even the men.
He paused the film during half-time and asked Colin to call on Harun so they could have him cook some of the Kraken meat for them and Phillip said that he would handle it. After that, they resumed the film but had to pause it again when Harun arrived with their meal. They arranged the food at the table but decided that they would eat after the movies since it would end soon.
When the movie ended, everyone praised it and it alleviated Anton’s worry that they would not enjoy the film since it’s a long musical movie and not everyone like musicals. He kept forgetting that the people in this world were not the jaded audience like the moviegoers on Earth. Every film he would show would be fresh to them and so far, all the films that he had shown were the best ones.
They all then went to the table to begin eating dinner. While they were savoring the dishes that were made from the tender Kraken Tentacle meat, they talked about a lot of things.
“We will include The Sound of Music movie to the list that we will show in the theater,” Nemina said and of course, Anton just nodded.
“Remember to record The Fellowship of The Ring tomorrow,” Anton’s father said.
The ladies then talked about the love story between the Captain and Maria and how beautiful Maria’s voice was. One of them then argued that everyone in the movie had beautiful voices especially the nuns in the beginning.
Antonia suddenly said to him that she would still pursue the instance of the captain charging them so much for the suite especially when Anton used his powers to defend the ship and Anton just nodded.
After dinner, everyone still wanted to stay with each other and surprisingly even Devon did not want to go out. It appeared that the recent battle still affected each one of them and they wanted to stay with family and friends.
“Do you want to watch an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation?” Anton asked everyone.
“Yes but I also want to watch Xena and Hercules,” Anna said and since they still wanted to stay with each other, they decided to binge-watch television shows.
After watching an episode of Star Trek, Colin was assigned to call on Harun so they could order food for their late-night snack, and once their snack arrived, they put them on the table to be eaten after watching an episode of Xena. When they were done watching Xena, they ate the food that they’d ordered and continued their binge-watching and watched an episode of Hercules.
Anton then told everyone that he was tired since he had participated in the battle so even though it looked like everyone still wanted to continue watching television shows, he entered his room so he could rest and, to be honest about it, he was actually telling the truth. He was tired and even though he intended to level up his character a bit, the moment he laid down his head on the pillow, he immediately fell asleep.
