Reincarnated as the Demon King's Son-Novel

Aldred recalled one of the pirate’s face, body shape, and clothes before he morphed himself into that appearance.

He then banged the steel door. “Hey, let me in.”

The door slightly turned transparent, and a pirate inside stared at him. “Why should we let you in?”

“I bring the rum.”

“Get in.”

The door opened, and Aldred entered without any problem.

“Where’s the rum?”

“You will get them in the afterlife.”

“What?”

All the pirates saw after that was flame. They didn’t even feel pain before their whole body turned to charcoal and fell to the floor with smoke coming out of them.

Aldred smiled and steered the cannons to fire at friendly targets. This was his favorite part of the battle. Ships were hard to destroy. Even a Platinum Rank had a hard time doing it, not to mention a Gold Rank like him.

Not to mention ships usually fight in long range, so it was almost impossible for anyone to approach and board a ship.

Aldred was a different case.

He aimed at one of the pirate’s destroyers and blasted its hull with a single shell. The impact exploded the water upward, splitting the ship in half, and the crews immediately jumped to the sea before they were eaten by sea monsters.

“No wonder nobody puts Platinum Rank on the ships. It’s such a waste of talent.”

His second target was a destroyer, but he failed to hit it because of the distance. He still fired at it anyway, just in case.

The third ship was a cruiser, and this time, Aldred scored a perfect hit. A chain reaction explosion erupted from the ship, and Aldred continued firing until the boat was nothing more than a wreck of metal and wood.

Aldred laughed. “Take that sucker!”

He grabbed his communication crystal and squeezed it. It shone. “Burchard, how’s the situation?”

“We have significantly damaged the pirate’s mothership, My Lord. They are currently retreating.”

“Good. Then you can start shooting at this ship.”

“I will. Please leave the site quickly.”

“You will know when I do.”

Suddenly, the whole ship shook, but it wasn’t because someone was attacking. It was because the water was moving violently.

Suddenly, the cloud above turned thick and dark. Lightning flashed as the storm started to brew.

Waves crashed against ships. It was so vicious that a couple of pirates even fell from the deck.

“What is going on?”

“It appears a storm is coming, My Lord.”

Aldred activated his godly eyes and he was shocked. “This is not a storm.”

His eyes followed the source, and he squinted his eyes in the distance.

A gigantic mothership with a bow part in the shape of a skull sailed towards them with great speed.

“I cannot believe he would come…” Tilford said. “I have to warn them.”

He activated his communication crystal. “My Lord. Get out of there, and return to your ship.”

“What is it?”

“Please return first. There’s no time.”

A roar of a beast reverberated and their ears rang. The captains closed their ears, but their heads still feel pain. Blood leaked out of their nose.

The pirates fell to the floor, wriggling in pain.

Even Aldred was in pain, and his sight became blurry. “What is this power?”

The roar stopped, and everyone shook their head to clear their dizziness.

Aldred stood up and ran to the deck.

The violent cold wind blew his hair. The wave crashed against the hull.

Aldred couldn’t even move anymore. He was paralyzed with fear.

“My Lord, please run!” Burchard’s voice came from the communication crystal.

Aldred turned around and saw the huge ship approaching. The ship was as tall as a mountain, and it had two giant wings on its back. The ship was also filled with cannons, and the ship looked like a living creature. Its entire body was wrapped in black armor, and its red skull was covered in shining gold.

It roared again, and waves began to rise.

The gigantic ship showed all of its cannon arsenals. There were at least 150 giant cannons on it.

Aldred froze as his face turned pale and his eyes wide.

“My Lord, get out of there!”

“No, I have to board the ship. There is no way, you guys can fight or outrun it.”

The Red Devil Skull, the name of the ship, fired its weapon.

Even the sound of thunder was nothing in comparison as the shells blasted the ship Aldred was on.

In a single attack, a mothership was destroyed in pieces.

“ALDRED!” Mary shouted. She gritted her teeth. “Stella, teleport me there!”

She shook her head.

Mary grabbed her collar. “Teleport me there or I will swim on my own!”

Stella frowned. “Okay.”

“Bring me there too!” Mareona shouted.

“Me too!” Zafrina stepped forward.

“I am not going to stay here while Aldred is in trouble!” Sophia stepped in.

Ivette, Rachel, and Kiara, all wanted to save Aldred.

“Alright, since all of you are so stubborn. Let’s go there.”

“WAIT!” Bartrem appeared from the door. “You’re not going anywhere without us.”

The soldiers behind him all nodded, ready to do anything to bring back Aldred to safety.

Stella nodded and raised her staff.

…

Lightning flashed within the dark cloud, and rain violently splashed onto the ship.

Marshton walked into the hallway with two of his men dragging an unconscious boy.

Opening the door, Marshton’s men threw the boy in front of a man with long blonde hair, and a red skull mask.

“This is the one that attacked our motherships from within,” Marshton reported.

“Wake him up.”

The two pirates stomped on Aldred’s back, making him gasp and cough.

When Aldred woke up, he looked around and saw that his hands and legs were tied. He was in a dimly lit room with the floor made out of thick steel. He could tell immediately that he was inside a mothership.

He turned his head forward and saw a man with long blond hair sitting on a throne. The man put his right elbow on the armrest, and his cheek rested on his fist.

Activating his godly eyes, Aldred stared at the masked man, trying to detect his weakness, but what he saw shocked him.

The man on the throne wasn’t a man, but a beautiful woman. Her face was hidden behind that mask, and her clothes made her look like she was a man.

‘Why did she pretend to be a man? In any case, I have to pretend I don’t know about it, or she might do something.’

For now, he had to think of a way to escape.
