I Am The Game's Villain

Chapter 833: Toward Edenis Raphiel

“My Lady, My Lord.”

By the time John finally reached the next platform along the others, the scenery had changed completely.

The platform extended toward a massive harbor specifically built for airships, with several enormous vessels either already docked or preparing to depart. Their hulls towered above the ground, supported by enormous structures and surrounded by workers and knights moving around them.

The airship they were supposed to take immediately stood out among the others.

It was large, elegant, and clearly of considerably higher quality than most of the vessels stationed nearby. Its white hull reflected the sunlight, while several large structures were built into its underside and sides.

It was obvious that this wasn’t an ordinary public airship.

It had been prepared specifically for the passengers arriving today.

As John and the others approached, the knights accompanying them immediately began taking care of their luggage.

“Careful with those.”

One of the attendants gestured toward the storage section of the ship as the knights began moving the various trunks and bags inside.

Meanwhile, a long sloping staircase had been lowered from the side of the airship.

It wasn’t simply a staircase.

Mechanisms had been incorporated into it, allowing the steps to move continuously upward like an escalator. The system made boarding significantly easier, especially for the older nobles and anyone carrying heavy belongings.

Rubina was the first to step onto it.

She adjusted her sunglasses as she began ascending without the slightest hesitation.

The others followed shortly after.

The nobles who had arrived with them remained behind for the moment, patiently waiting for the more important figures to board first.

Nobody seemed particularly eager to violate the unspoken hierarchy.

John eventually stepped onto the moving stairs as well holding Amelia’s hand carefully, supporting her.

As they gradually climbed toward the deck, the view of the harbor expanded behind them.

The sheer scale of the airship port became even more apparent from above.

There were airships everywhere.

Some were enormous military vessels, while others were clearly civilian transports. Smaller private ships were docked farther away, while several larger vessels were already hovering above their platforms, preparing to depart.

Edenis Raphiel’s wealth was difficult to ignore.

The infrastructure alone was enough to demonstrate how advanced Edenis Raphiel was compared to many other places.

When John finally reached the deck, he was immediately greeted by several members of the ship’s staff.

“My Lord.”

“My Lady.”

They bowed respectfully.

More staff members quickly appeared behind them, ready to handle anything the passengers might need during their short journey.

It was almost excessive considering the trip itself would last barely an hour.

Yet nobody questioned it.

For people of their status, even a short journey was apparently enough reason to have an entire crew dedicated to their comfort.

John glanced around.

Everything was immaculate.

The deck was spacious, the furniture carefully arranged, and the various areas of the ship had clearly been designed with wealthy passengers in mind.

Amelia and the others were guided toward the main passenger area while the knights finished storing the remaining luggage.

Eventually, everyone was aboard.

The crew checked the final preparations before the boarding ramp was retracted and the doors were secured.

A low humming sound gradually began vibrating through the deck.

John felt it beneath his feet.

The airship was preparing to leave.

He looked over the railing.

The harbor was still beneath them.

For a few seconds, nothing seemed to happen.

Then, the shop began to rise.

The entire enormous vessel slowly levitated from the ground.

There was no violent shaking or sudden acceleration.

Instead, it rose smoothly, almost as though an invisible force had simply decided that the ship no longer needed to obey gravity.

The source of that power was obvious enough.

Attached beneath the hull were several large anti-gravity mana mechanisms.

Their energy activated in sequence, producing the force necessary to lift the entire airship from the platform.

The harbor gradually began shrinking beneath them.

The platform.

The people.

The buildings.

Everything slowly became smaller as the ship continued ascending.

John watched silently for a moment.

They had finally left the ground.

“You’re going to live in the sky now.”
