Chapter 458: The Inverted Cross Pendant
Loren wasn't going to venture out to sea just for the Angler. The Angler's abilities were useful, but not so important that Loren had to go there immediately.
The Abyssal creatures had far stronger abilities than the Angler, and Loren hadn't rushed to deal with them either.
The main reason Loren wanted to go to sea was that the Merfolk had discovered something unusual. The seas had indeed become increasingly unstable recently.
On one hand, there was Casper becoming a pirate. Casper becoming a pirate was no different from Marshal Sengoku becoming one.
His transformation had shocked the entire sea. A group of pirates initially refused to believe it, until a certain large pirate crew was completely wiped out after encountering Casper.
That was the power of a Ninth-tier mage. Even at sea, where Abundant Magic was at a disadvantage, he could still crush these pirates effortlessly.
Unless several of the strongest pirates joined forces, they couldn't threaten Casper. That was the difference between regular forces and pirates.
If someone could make it in the Church, who would choose to become a pirate?
On the other hand, the pirates had been getting restless lately. Even the Sea God had begun to stir, with its followers becoming increasingly frenzied, even launching attacks on land.
