And hopefully, slash, thankfully to the Mystic Arte: Thorns; he got several strategies that could exponentially increase his odds in the fight against the Pirate King.

He even got a slight increase in Proficiency with the Ability to make several thousands of complicated calculations within a short span of time, as everything flashed as fast as possible, so he could calculate the strategy against his enemy.

"You barbarian not appreciating the true beauty of my magnificent self."

People like Pirate King Wentworth Ruthland loved to hear their own voices and would often get lost in themselves, as they tended to ignore everything else in their arrogance and vanity.

It's really a terrible combination.

Still, as much he was pompous, he was powerful because the very own moment the Pirate King Wentworth Ruthland released his Mana on the battlefield, Samiel felt to the full extent the raw power of the Pirate King.

'The first step is to bind him and deprive him of the mobility to make any moves and then keep his distance... weaken him and drain him of stamina, only then attack... shame all of my Undead would be totally useless in this aspect.'

Samiel thought as he started implementing the first steps in his plan.

But unfortunately, sometimes plans were only plans because before he realized he found himself crashing into the ground as he was kicked away by Pirate King Wentworth Ruthland like a ragdoll.

Moments later, he stood up as he coughed a huge amount of blood, and grinned happily...

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! This is it!"

The Holy Son of the Hall of Kadath started laughing maniacally as he was barely able to stand up from the impact. This feeling was something that he desired, something that he had almost already forgotten and right now, he was absolutely enjoying it.

He spread out his army like he was about to hug someone and tremendous cold Mana descended on the battlefield as even the Pirate King Wentworth Ruthland stopped in his tracks and his eyes narrowed at his opponent.

[Caluclating the most appropriate course of action.]

[Advanced battle mode is activated.]

[Approximate time is set to five minutes.]

Samiel activated the Level 4 Transcendental Ability Archtiect to the activated battle mode, which was putting a huge strain on his Mind, Soul and Mana but there was no better option than this.

Instantly he used Mystic Arte: Thorns as tens of thorns were conjured out of thin air, all of them shooting at the Pirate King Wentworth Ruthland as Samiel attempted to make a bigger distance between them.

After being kicked away by his opponent, it only affirmed to Samiel that he was no match against him in the physical contest of strength and that he would be killed if he tried something against him.

Thus he decided to employ the safest strategy like he previously wanted. Making distance between the two of them, so Samiel could safely cast his Magic and, if possible, bombard the Pirate King to oblivion.

Fortunately for the Holy Son of the Hall of Kadath, even though Pirate King Wentworth Ruthland was half-step into the Gold-Tier, he wasn't that fast to completely dodge all thorns that were attacking him in an attempt to bind him down.

The Pirate King was fast, very fast; that was to be expected from someone who was already embarking on the Strength Mastery, probably focusing more on the aspect of the speed for now, as that was actually a very smart decision.

Yet, even his speed wasn't enough to completely dodge all thorns that were conjured through the Mystic Arte because there were tens upon tens of them and Samiel was still creating new ones constantly.

Samiel's eyes shined brightly when he noticed that the Pirate King Wentworth Ruthland was bound down, as the thorns were enveloping both legs, giving Samiel precious seconds to act.

He then got two notifications from the Akashic Records, which he promptly dismissed as he started another part of his plan. Right now, all of his attention was on the combat, not the notifications from the Akashic Records.

"Let the Void out, Let the Madness Spread, Led the Chaos Descent and Let the Order Perish.

For I am the vessel of the Dreams, and warrior of Chaos, priest of the Void and champion of the Outsidness."

Using the small window of opportunity, he was presented with before the Pirate King broke from the restrains of Mystic Arte: Thorns, Samiel immediately called for the Possession of the Outer Gods.

Possession of the Outer Gods was Samiel's trump card to deal with far more powerful enemies than him. The only great disadvantage of the Possession of the Outer Gods was that it required a lot of strength to summon and had very limited time when it was activated.

In a second, his aura entirely changed faster than one could blink and a cold, creepy aura burst out of his body. It was the same aura as that of the Outer Gods, Void Lifeforms, Eldritch Creatures and Abomination.

His power increased tremendously, but he wasn't stopping there, as he kept releasing every single limitation on his being and was casting one Void Magic Spell after another. With the Possession of the Outer Gods active, his raw power wasn't even a bit inferior to that of the Pirate King Wentworth Ruthland.

Shooting them at the Pirate King, who broke from the thorn restrains as he was soon enveloped by huge explosions and even the ship itself shook and was close to sinking down.

Looking at the direction of the explosion, Samiel knew that this level was nothing to the Pirate King, who reached half-step to the Gold-Tier, but he grinned as he started gathering all Mana inside his body.

With this being done, the true fight could finally begin.
