Chapter 563 Clash of Puppets and Guardians

?Within the flying ship, two white robe men with black crescent moon symbols on their foreheads were looking at the giant ship arrogantly.

"It's clearly an unauthorized ship. We didn't get any heads-up from headquarters. Do we really need to indulge them?" A dwarf man with a long gray beard asked.

The other man with green scales and beastly eyes chuckled as he replied, "Newcomer, you should remember this lesson: although we have claimed over the Unique Star Ocean Boundary, we still can't just attack others. At least we should give others a chance to speak and then have a valid reason to attack.

"Furthermore, this ship is a unique rank, which means the person on it isn't so simple. I also received words that a medallion had gone missing and that ten unique rank patrols were dispatched to claim it at all costs.

"As long as this is the missing medallion, we can easily claim the benefits before others arrive. Today seemed to be our lucky day as we caught this unauthorized ship so quickly. Even if they are not our target just this ship will fetch a good price. As long as you follow me, I won't let you suffer. I have my own style to handle things, so learn carefully." He arrogantly proclaimed.

The dwarf was startled as he finally realized why Unique Rank members of the federation were dispatched to patrol this place. A hint of excitement flashed past his eyes as he looked at the large ship as if it were prey.

"Thank you for your pointers senior." He quickly thanked the man.

However, both of their haughty expression changed when eight cloaked figures suddenly jumped off the other ship, and they were directly coming toward them!

They had deactivated their ship's protective barrier to reveal themselves as they didn't expect anyone stronger than them present on other ships, much less someone would dare to make a move against them knowing their identities.

Yet, the unthinkable had happened!

"Bunch of brutes dare to retaliate!" The other man quickly recovered from his shock and roared furiously.

A long spear appeared in his hand, brandished in a sharp brown aura as he thrust it towards the eight incoming attackers, "Aura Spear Rage!" Multiple spear phantoms directly rained toward the attackers, creating powerful, sharp currents.

However, one of the attackers took out a blue staff with a white orb imbued on top and waved it as a static voice sounded, "Water Spirit Protection!" An ethereal barrier blocked the phantom spears.

"Not good. She can use spirit magic!" The dwarf and other man's expression finally changed as it was a clear sign of a unique rank expert!

"Earth Beast Rush!" The Dwarf instantly used his own spirit magic ability etched on his spirit glyph to cast this instant magic spell.

Green ethereal energy gushed from the dwarf; it took the shape of a tortoise and clashed with the water barrier!

'Boom…'

Powerful expression happened as blue and green sparks filled with air.

At this moment, the other seven figures finally emerged within the blast. Their cloaks were tattered, and some of their body parts were injured as blood was leaking out. But for some reason, their expression was completely stoic, as if they didn't feel any pain.

"Horn ogres!" The scaly man finally identified the giant attacks and his expression was warped.

The ogres were holding spears and broad swords as they all brandished them with their aura and hacked them down toward the two guardians.

"Aura Spirit Shield!"

"Earth Beast Defense!"

Both of them cried almost instantaneously to block those powerful aura attacks.

But to their dismay, those ogres were on par with them, and they were no match for seven of them at all. Their defensive magic was instantly broken, and they were sent flying while hacking blood.

"Bastards, don't even think about escaping. Just wait for the wrath of Zodiac Night Guardian!" The scaly man palely barked before he commanded, "Use the talismans. We are no match for them!"

The dwarf nodded grimly as he knew they had met terrifying opponents. But they didn't understand why these kinds of people were in this sort of place, and there were so many!

However, before they could take out and activate their protection talismans to escape, a pair of icy amber eyes seemed to lock on them, 'Slumber Hex!'

They didn't need the talismans on their bodies since they had never encountered such a dangerous situation before, and this was before their first and last fatal mistake that sealed their fates.

The seven ogres and a cloaked elf landed on the flying ship deck at this moment and quickly apprehended them, stripping their clothes, watches, and rings before taking over the entire ship.

Jacob was still standing beside Zoe and Sofie on the other ship as he sent a cold message, "You were too slow."

"Forgive me, Sir." Autarch's stoic voice sounded in his head.

"No worries, it wasn't entirely your fault. I thought those talismans were rare, but it seemed I'd made an error. Have your puppets search the entire ship and throw away anything suspicious we don't understand. We don't want them on our tails." Jacob commanded.

"I'm on it."

"Is it over?" Zoe asked with a pale expression as she clearly felt the power of aura and spirit just now, and that was quite scary.

Furthermore, she hadn't expected Jacob to have such a fighting force under his command.

Sofie was also ashen, but she was more compassed since she had already known about the crew that Jacob subdued, but she was still shocked after witnessing their true prowess.

Just how strong was Jacob to subdue all of them? His position in her heart rose even more.

Jacob nodded as he gravely said, "It is over for now. But I think this won't be the last of them we'll see. Let's get out of this place. Once we are on the other side, it won't be easy to find us!"

After searching the ship, Jacob stowed it away in a space ring before putting it away in his pendant just to be safe.

He then stood over the ship's figurehead with the medallion in his head as it shimmered brightly before ordering the ship to move forward.

This time, the invisible wall didn't stop its advance, and they vanished into the star ocean boundary!
