He caught the Hydra on his way to Gaya. She was throwing up blood because of the backlash of the clash between Michael's fist and the golden barrier. Fortunately, she had her APD filled with a 90% pure healing potion to heal her organs immediately. Otherwise, she would have suffered more than just coughing up blood.
"Impressed now?" Michael wrapped his arm around her shoulder with a gentle smile on his face. He himself never expected his power to reach the Core Strengthening stage in his complete Lucifer form. Apparently, after activating the cloud of darkness and the eyes of darkness, he could fight head to head with a Core Strengthening stage warrior and even defeat them.
Even without taking his full Lucifer form, no one in the Core Formation stage could inflict a wound on him let alone defeat him. By breaking Gaya's golden barrier, he grasped the extent of his current powers except for one thing. Gradually the fire in his eyes and the dark cloud around him disappeared.
"When did you bastard reach the Core Strengthening stage?" she said, spitting out the remaining blood in her mouth.
"I didn't. It's just my full Lucifer form temporarily boosting my power to Core Strengthening stage"
After wiping off the blood on the corner of her lips, she gave him a friendly punch in the gut.
"Give them to, you have enough op stuff as it is" she swooped the hydra off of his hand.
"Don't you think we should name them," Michael asked. If they didn't name the hydra, the system would keep bitch about it and never accept the hydra as Michael's familiar.
"I'll come up with perfect names for these little fellas" she playfully rubbed each of the hydra's heads. Except for the Silver head which nudged her hand with love, the white and the blackhead tried to chew her hand with their tiny little teeth.
"Quit chewing my fingers little fuckers" she chuckled. Just by looking at the way she was looking at the hydra, he could tell that she has taken quite a liking to the hydra. He could imagine these two fighting with Nightmare every single day after they return home.
"Hey look over there"
As they were hovering in the air, the white said, raising its voice. Michael removed his hands from Gaya's shoulder before noticing three warships moving towards the direction of Ross's ship.
From the distance, it seemed they were moving in a triangle formation. The ship moving in the front was slightly bigger than the two behind it. The moonlight illuminated their white flags with the symbol of two red swords in 'X shape. All three ships were galleons fully fitted with powerful cannons to do some nasty damage to any hostile ships.
"Are those pirates?" Considering she knew very little about pirates in the southern continent, she didn't recognize ships by the flags. His crew would have if they were floating higher in the sky with them. The three ships were too far to get noticed by the normal human eyes. Plus, the night made it extremely harder for Michael's crew to spot the ships on the horizon.
"We should follow them," Gaya said what he just thought in his mind. He wanted to see where the pirates were going in the middle of the night. Somehow he had a feeling that they weren't sightseeing.
"Before we do that" he began to descend from the sky towards the Silent Reaper. He didn't want to step on the stinking ship until they clean the heck out of it except now he had to warn them before following the three ships. Otherwise, there might be a chance of some other pirates ambushing the Silent Reaper while he's away. As much as he hated to admit it, he didn't think his crew was smart enough to survive an ambush even with a ship like the Silent Reaper. They obviously didn't understand its full potential or value, otherwise, they would have at least kept her clean enough to be inhabited by normal human beings.
"Captain, that was awesome"
"You too lady captain"
"Ow, what in the hell is that beast?"
"Shhh"
They almost forgot the task in the hand in the excitement of seeing Michael unleash his powers.
"Hmm, why am I not seeing a clean ship? I bet something's wrong with my eyes"
The pirates looked at each other while scratching the back of their heads like clueless chickens. Their silly faces reminded him of the crew of Captain Barbosa in the Pirates of the Caribbean movie. He could never get mad enough to break pirate bones.
"Gibson" he enhanced his voice through Arch energy so Gibson cleaning the below decks could hear him.
After a few minutes he called Gibson, he ran to Michael's side with a couple of pirates. Michael was happy to see them drenched in sweat and covered in soapy bubbles.
"At Least some of you've been doing the cleaning" the pirates down below, fortunately, didn't hear the noises produced by Michael and Gaya testing his powers.
