Just as this row of notifications came, Arthur became flabbergasted, first the weird message, then the new skills and last but not least, the blessing of Katrina, He really didn't know how to react, too many things appeared so he couldn't choose what to focus on.
After a couple of seconds, he decided to think about all of that once everything calmed down, he still didn't check his status window but 279 corpses ranging from LVL 50 to 200 must have a lot of stats, that explains why unlocked a lot of things.
He didn't forget to store all of the corpses to his storage so he can use [Death touch] on them when he's alone with Lucy, after all, he can't use it in front of the nobles and Belic, the process takes time, it's way longer than possessing bodies.
After he breathed some fresh air to calm his mind, he opened his stats to see the changes, however, even without that, he could feel that he became much much stronger, the stats he got are seriously no joke, I guess this ambush can be called a fortune to him rather than a misfortune.
He was not so heartless as to invade a city and slaughter all citizens for stats but if there was an army of evil and ruthless people out there, then he wouldn't mind cleaning them up and gaining their stats, it would truly be fantastic.

'WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!' As he saw his stats, Arthur couldn't help but stagger a few steps, he even rubbed his eyes multiple times to check if he was dreaming or not.
However, after a minute passed, the stats didn't change but a notification popped up
SYSTEM ERROR! Can't calculate stats....SYSTEM MALFUNCTION........RE-INSTALLING SYSTEM CALCULATION SYSTEM......
'....' Artur seriously didn't know what to do, since the message from Zodiak came, the system seemed to be malfunctioning, he didn't know why but it's not like it mattered because even though it indicated 0 in all stats, he didn't feel weak, he even felt like his power doubled, or even tripled, same goes for the sitting Lucy, power surged through her muscles and she felt the change in her stats.
Arthur checking his status the last time but to no avail, he walked toward Lucy and Saly, they didn't know where they were but it didn't seem they were still where they previously were, the port was completely destroyed and you can now see the surroundings.
There was nothing but sea in the West, however, when you look East, there was a forest, a big one at that, full of trees, you could see greenery as far as the eye can see, even Arthur could only see trees with his good eyesight.
Just when Arthur was a few steps from Lucy, he noticed her shocked face, she even imitated and rubbed her eyes, he could only guess that she must've seen her stats and they were '0' too, at first it was confusing why it's happening to her too, however, after some thorough thought, it's to be expected since they are soul linked.
He wanted to ask her about the system error or the other things but he pushed that for later.
Although she was shocked when Lucy lifted her head and saw Arthur slowly nodding at her, she immediately understood that she was not the only one, so she shrugged that off and kept gently brushing Saly's brown hair.
Belic and the others, who were still dumbstruck, were awakened when they heard Arthur voice
”You should know where we are better than me, so enlighten me...”
Even though he wanted to know where they were, it was almost obvious they were at Itas continent, but he wanted to confirm that, furthermore, he was only staying with Belic and Robin just for the deal to heal Saly, or else he would have gone with Saly and Lucy already.
Belic snapped out of his daze and looked around, however, his eyes were still full of disbelief and he didn't dare approach, Arthur.
Once his eyes landed on the enormous forest that stretched on all the land, he sighed then replied
”It seems were are in Itas continent, I don't know the exact location but I'm sure we are there, these special trees are only located in Itas continent”
He paused for a second before resuming his talk
”We've got no choice but to travel near the sea and not venture into the forest, there is a lot of dangerous places in there, plus, our destination is the little town called 'Lopel' it's just like 'Lumbra city', once we reach it, we'll wait for the other ships to arrive.
Though he said they were in Itas continent, Arthur didn't want to waste time in search for Lopel Town, so he turned his head to look at Belic and calmly said
”No need to waste time searching, wait for me, I'll find it then come back, I'm faster after all”
As he said that, he nodded at Lucy one final time before he disappeared from the ship.
He transformed into his lightning form and headed South at his fastest speed, he just chose South hazard, maybe it was the wrong way but with his speed, he should be able to go back easily.
He was totally dumbfounded by his speed, it really seemed to have doubled, he could see the environment surrounding him blur when he ran, he was even able to run in the air, I know, it seems impossible but he somehow managed to do it, gravity didn't affect him anymore, maybe because of his speed or another factor?
He didn't really know why but he just could do it, no need to make a fuss about it right?
