The only one who was intact was the leader of the group, who stared at Kayden with a frown. This was definitely not in his plans. Kayden shouldn’t be here. They already had the details of all the crew members; he was just supposed to be a strong mage of the sixth realm and not a freak of the sixth realm.
"I don’t mind killing everyone and wandering in the void for a few more years," Kayden’s tone was flat and lifeless.
"We can make a deal," the woman made the decision quickly and Kayden withdrew his aura.
"Where are you going to go after hijacking this ship?" Kayden didn’t want to go too far from his primary objective.
"Same place as them, the difference is we’re going to a slightly more lawless planet and sell them all and the ship," Kayden nodded.
"I help you kill the captain and then you take me to this planet without any ulterior motive." The woman in front of Kayden was a seventh-realm mage, but she felt an irrational fear of Kayden and understood that this was more than enough to prove her strength.
"Don’t you want profit sharing or something?" Kayden’s proposal was so ungreedy that she couldn’t help but ask.
"No," Kayden had more wealth than this entire ship in its space compartments. Even more so considering that the lucky world space was still functioning. This probably had to do with Thoth, as as soon as he left the lucky planet it had stopped working, but when he left the time room it started working again.
"We can do this." Kayden signed some oaths with the woman. He guaranteed that there would be no chance of his life being at risk in this negotiation. There were dozens of oaths to make him safer.
"What’s the plan?" Kayden asked the woman at the end of it all.
"A two-pronged attack. I will throw something that stops him from paying attention, and at that moment every one of my race will attack him. Enter this second part." Kayden thought it was simple, but it was effective in a way.
"Alright, I’ll wait for your signal." The boy walked away and everyone around let out a sigh while muttering words like "scary."
Time passed quickly and in just 4 hours everything changed. Almost 90% of the ship was surrendered to the charm of the invaders and finally, the captain and his allies noticed that something was wrong, but it was too late.
"Who are you!?" The captain shouted as he saw a seventh realm mage rising into the skies in front of him. The woman appeared to be carrying a crescent on her back. That moon came out towards the captain.
Space was destroyed in several spots at high speed. The captain barely had time to react and raised a barrier based on his incomplete wind law. It was enough to hold off the attack at the cost of much of his resistance.
The woman’s attack, in truth, was desperate, as it represented 70% of her entire force and took half of the captain’s strength to be defended. It was clear to both fighters that they were at slightly different levels of strength.
The captain’s body was split into two halves and the sound was like paper being cut at high speed. The space broke into a continuous line between the captain and a meter in front of him.
Meanwhile, Kayden was closing a small hole that he used to pull mana from the normal universe. The hole was open for only a few seconds, but it was enough for him to use his absolute dominance.
It had been a while since Kayden had had so much mana at his disposal, but it was like breathing. Once learned, he would never forget. Instantly, he formed an aura cut and hid any trace of mana.
Kayden used the space in the void to place his attack within 1 meter of the captain as soon as his defense fell. The wizard of the seventh kingdom would have the ability to sense space and react minimally from a distance, but, unfortunately, the space was destroyed by the attack of the leader of the invaders.
This situation made Kayden’s distortion appear to be just another broken point without any meaning, apart from the fact that the captain’s entire focus was on the leader of the invaders. This caused his body to fall to the ground in two halves.
No one was able to react to the speed with which the situation changed. Kayden was the only one to go to the body and burn it to the ground. This was a small action that could save him a headache if the man got up again.
Nothing was impossible for mages of high realms. Kayden had already faced wizards from the seventh kingdom who were capable of regenerating their entire body from the smallest piece of skin possible. It was a headache and they had to be killed completely.
Meanwhile, everyone around Kayden looked at him as if they saw a monster, a ridiculously rare species. They looked like ordinary humans when they went to a zoo, but the difference was that the main emotion was fear and not curiosity.
Kayden took down someone a realm above him in just a single move and didn’t even seem to be tired from that action. He also casually burned a seventh-realm mage as if he were ordinary trash.
"I’m going to my room, please let me know a few months before we reach our destination." Kayden disappeared after leaving those words in the air.
He would logically not get off the ship with these people, he would probably have to answer questions he didn’t want to or he would have a chance of being persecuted, it was much easier to jump off the ship a few months before and fly the rest of the way.
Considering that they were areas close to developed planets, Kayden was safe from the abominations, and as long as he camouflaged his aura perfectly he wouldn’t have any problems with other mages.
