Beep!! Beep!!

The sound of the alarm could be heard along the ship corridor. Following the sound, a blinking light incessantly followed Tristan and his group's every move.

Every minute, they would be stopped by a squad of space troopers. Luckily, even though these space troopers also wore armor, the armor they wore was much lighter compared to the enhanced armor the previous space knights wore. 

Coupled with how they themselves were wearing the powered armor the space knights previously had and Tristan's undying body, they were able to kill these space troopers much more easily despite their difference in number.

Tratatatatatata-

Splatt!!

Tristan great physical prowess gave him the speed to massacre a dozen of them within seconds, leaving a bloody trail of corpses on the path they went.

"This way!!" shouted Siegfried, pointing toward his right following what he knew. 

However, just when they thought that the never-ending waves of space troopers were the most troublesome thing that could get between them and the engine room, more troublesome things greeted them.

The area in front of them seemed like a maze with innumerable paths. Not only that, but the doors kept closing in on them whichever way they went. No matter how many times they changed paths to whichever direction, in the end, a large steel door would always block the path they were heading to.

Seeing this unceasing blockade, Siegfried clenched his fists in annoyance and said to Tristan, "The engine room is just beyond this wall, there is no other path!"

In response to Siegfried's words, Tristan used the blade he made out of his [Blood Synthesis] to charge toward the steel door. The steel door's hardness surprised him.

Contrary to his expectations, his blood blade only managed to slightly scratch the steel door. Even though he expected the door to be strong, he thought that his blade would at least still make a dent on it. Seeing this, he tried punching it with his maximum battle power. To his surprise, even his current maximum power was only able to make a shallow dent on the steel door. The steel door did not even come close to breaking or opening.

Tristan's display of power greatly astonished the people behind him. But despite their surprise, they did not just stand still. They looked around to find anything they might be able to use to go through the door.

Noticing the control panel next to the gate, Wash quickly rushed toward it and tried to access the panel.

Rayna, the Kingsblade captain, was perplexed when she saw Wash running toward the control panel. She asked with uncertainty, "You know how to operate this kind of control panel?"

The man checking the control panel simply replied with a chuckle, "Well, my wife Zoe and I used to be pirates, so…"

"How long?" Tristan asked.

Wash thought about it for a brief moment before replying with his brows slightly furrowed, "It's pretty complicated, maybe around five minutes?"

Under normal circumstances, five minutes would be amazing considering it was a control panel with high-end technology made in a higher-level realm world. Unfortunately, they did not have five minutes at the moment.

Siegfried, who was standing guard at the back, raised the Gatling gun that he picked up from their last battle and began shooting at the hallway behind them.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-

"They are coming, Master!"

"We don't have five minutes," Tristan said with slight haste. He put both of his palms onto the surface of the thick steel door and quickly cast [Heat Touch]. Using the maximum amount of heat he could output to burn the door, he successfully melted the area around his palms, creating a hole as big as his two arms. Seeing that this method worked, Tristan continued using [Heat Touch] a few more times, creating holes enough for him to tear open the gate with his strength afterward.

Siegfried noticed that something was going on behind him, but he did not dare look back at the moment as he had to take care of the incoming space troopers.

Meanwhile, Wash was baffled when he saw Tristan straight-up tearing open the steel door. With an awkward laugh, he spoke in a slightly low volume, "Yes, that's definitely faster, hahaha..."

Following Tristan's call, the group quickly jumped through the open hole and charged toward the large open chamber in front of them. Siegfried was taken aback when he saw the large hole with obvious traces of melting, but he did not let himself be left behind and quickly followed suit.

The chamber in front of them was as big as the hangar. As they entered the chamber, they could see a glowing tube installed at the center. As they expected, some people had been waiting for their arrival; a squad of space knights and a few dozen space troopers

Tristan knew that there were either still more coming their way or they were going to do something with the ship, hence he needed to clean up them quickly.

He raised his two arms towards the defensive lines that had begun shooting their weapons. In turn, Tristan's arms began glowing red, and suddenly...

[Fireball] [Fireball] [Fireball]

Kaboom!! Kaboom!! Kaboom!!!

The enhanced fireballs were able to quickly break the defensive lines and vaporize the troopers who came in direct contact with them. Even the people behind Tristan were surprised. Shooting fire magic inside an engine room was definitely an insane thing to do. After all, there was a high chance that it would blow up the whole ship.

Of course, the defensive crew also knew this. They were immediately put in a state of turmoil, quickly shifting their focus on putting out the fire.

It worked exactly as planned. Tristan shot the fireballs close enough to make them panic while still avoiding the main engine. Meanwhile, as the defensive crew was in chaos, his flying blades started massacring the guarding troops.

More limbs were and blood splattered all over the engine room.

The scene in front of them almost made Wash throw up, but Captain Rayna carried him to keep moving.

"Here!" Siegfried shouted toward them. "This is the EM device! Without this, they won't go hyperdrive!"

That EM device was the first thing that Tristan took as a precaution.

"Now, how do we make the ship land?"

"For that, we need to access the propulsion engine. It's in the room two blocks away from here!" Siegfried hastily answered.

The number of complicated things they had to do irritated him. After all, they did not have enough time to do all those. In a slightly annoyed tone, Tristan asked Siegfried, "Can't I just blow up the main engine?"

Siegfried quickly answered, "Yes, Master, that would be the fastest way to stop the ship. However, the explosion should at least be big enough to blow up half of the ship to crash it down."

Tristan considered totally disabling the ship as plan C, their last resort. After all, completely disabling such a good ship would be a great waste, would it not? At the moment, he still wished to complete his plan A, total control of the ship.

At the same time, he could see two doors around the hall slowly opening. This time, the ones entering were all space knights. As they rushed in, he could see that there were almost 50 of them. Among them, a certain space knight immediately attracted his attention. It was a space knight in black armor.

The black armor did not fully cover the wearer's body. Tristan could see the space knight's face clearly; it was a bald man with a ring covering his forehead. From the man, Tristan could feel a power similar to Callan's level, and it seemed that the man did not bother to hide it.

"That's the space knight Marshal!"
