Chapter 138: Pirates Strike (2)
"Mina, are you sure? The ship really stopped next to an island and removed its illusion magic!" In a cabin in the Dark Skull, Ackles looked at Mina who had just returned from the probe with disbelief.
"Huh! Mina doesn't lie! Johnny, we should attack now! There will never be a better chance!" Mina gave Ackles an angry look, and then excitedly said to Johnny, who had lost in thought.
"Okay! Mina, use your Phantasm to speed up the ship! We have to hurry up and get there before that ship leaves the island!" After thinking for more than a minute, Johnny pushed up his sunglasses and made the final decision.
"Aye, aye, captain! Mina will do it now! Ackles! Come and help!" Hearing Johnny's decision, Mina was so happy that she spun a few times, and then ran to the deck quickly.
"Sigh! What am I gonna do with our little princess, Boss Johnny, I'm going up as well." Ackles reluctantly scratched his hair and followed Mina to the deck.
‘This is indeed a golden opportunity, but something doesn't seem right. Why did the ship suddenly stop on the island and also remove its defense system? There doesn't seem to be anything special about that island. Did they do it on a whim?' After Ackles and Mina left, Johnny fell into deep thought again. He always felt that something was strange with this matter, but he couldn't tell exactly what was wrong.
‘Forget it, anyway, a stopped ship is much easier to deal with than a moving ship. Isn't it my reason to be a pirate to enjoy an exciting life? If there is an accident, then I will just use this Flash Misty Sword to solve it.' Thinking of this, he held the handleless long sword that quietly appeared in his hand, with a faint smile on his face.
"Come to me! My dolphins!" Mina, who ran to the deck, took out the big iron anchor from behind and placed it in front of her. Then she closed her eyes facing the sea and said the same sentence repeatedly and softly.
With her voice, one after another dolphins of different colors appeared in front of the Dark Skull. They swam around the ship excitedly, jumping out of the sea from time to time. What was different from ordinary dolphins was that they were much faster and larger than ordinary dolphins.
"My dolphins! Come and gather on the deck!" After about a hundred dolphins gathered, Mina opened her eyes, lifted the big iron anchor in front of her with one hand, and put it on her shoulder. She then put the other hand on her lips and blew a whistle.
Then something surprising happened. The dolphins jumped onto the Dark Skull deck one by one. They used their tails to stand up and hopped toward Mina until they formed four neat lines in front of Mina. It was like a small, well-trained army.
"Mhm! Okay, these should be enough. With them, my cute Dark Skull should be able to reach that beautiful ship in two hours. Hey, Ackles, put your chains on my dolphins." Mina walked around among the four lines of dolphins, with a satisfied look on her face.
"Understood, my little princess. Scorching Sickle Chains, go!" Ackles lazily summoned his Phantasm- Scorching Sickle Chains.
This time the chains did not emit any heat, and immediately after they appeared, they turned into more than a hundred small chains, each of which tied a dolphin's neck. But that was not a normal binding. The chain and the dolphin's body seemed to have become one, just like the chain grew on the dolphin. The rear of the chain was tied to several large iron rings of the ship by Ackles. Judging from the positions of those rings, this ship had already been prepared for this kind of thing.
"Okay, Dark Skull! The fastest mode! Dolphins! Let's go!" Mina pointed her finger forward and shouted excitedly.
Under Mina's order, the dolphins jumped into the sea one after another, and started to pull the big ship forward. With their efforts, the speed of this Dark Skull slowly increased, and it was getting faster and faster...
At this time, Ulysses was walking leisurely with Lulu in the forest. This was a vibrant forest. From time to time some cute animals would appear around him curiously. Probably, they had never seen a human before, so they were not afraid of him at all. There were even a few brave guys who would run to his feet and look at him.
The ancient forest exuded a calm smell, and the sunlight cast round spots of light through branches and leaves. The land covered with fallen leaves exuded a slight earthy fragrance. All this was very similar to the forest on that desert island, but Ulysses's mood was much better now than it was then. After all, he only came here for a walk this time for relaxation, and he didn't need to think about anything else.
After walking for a while, he arrived at the side of a creek that had crystal clear water. He could even see the small fishes swimming around. Such a creek was everywhere on the continent, but seeing it on this desert island made people feel nostalgic.
At this time, Lulu jumped out of his arms, ran to the edge of the creek happily, and began to drink the water.
Seeing Lulu's behavior, Ulysses smiled and then walked to the creek. He lowered himself, held the water with both hands, and started drinking.
The water was cold and sweet, with a unique smell of the forest, Ulysses couldn't help taking a few more sips. After drinking, he picked up Lulu who was running around, and continued to walk in the forest.
On the other side of the forest, Rasputin was leading Cherie to catch prey enthusiastically. About forty meters in front of them, there was a black sheep grazing leisurely. However, unlike ordinary sheep, its horns were much sharper, and they also shone with blue light from time to time.
"Cherie, you have to pay attention. That black sheep is actually a third-level magic beast- windhorn sheep. It is known for its speed, and it is difficult to hit it with normal attacks. So you have to pay attention to the magic I'm going to use." After speaking, Rasputin stretched out her hand, and four fist-sized fireballs appeared in her hand.
"Go!" Following Rasputin's whisper, one of the four fireballs quickly shot at the windhorn sheep.
When the fireball was more than one meter away from the windhorn sheep, a blue light suddenly flashed on its horn, and then it jumped up quickly, and dodged the fireball at a speed several times faster than the fireball. But almost at the same time as it jumped, the other three fireballs of Rasputin flew over its head, and exploded, causing a loud boom.
Although the fireballs did not directly hit the windhorn sheep, the shock caused by the explosion stunned it instantly, causing it to fall straight from the air, and fell to the ground with a "pop!"
"Ah! Sister Rasputin is amazing! You knocked down that sheep so easily. But why didn't you send out four fireballs at the beginning?" Cherie ran to the half-dead windhorn sheep, turned around, and ran back. She asked Rasputin curiously.
"This is what I want to teach you. Generally, if a fire mage wants to hit a windhorn sheep, they must learn Level 4 fire magic, Fire Blast. But if you can fully master the elementary fireball skills, then you can hit it at level 3." Rasputin began to explain to Cherie...
On the deck of the Ulysses, the three apostles Helen, Arcelia, and Lapis were listening to Aya's plans for the future.
The four of them sat at a table moved from the dining area. Arcelia was still wearing her blue and white dress, Lapis was also wearing her snow-white suit, only Helen changed into a new outfit. It was a yellow dress with a few white roses embroidered on it and some golden lace on the skirt. In addition, there was a pair of pink hair accessories in the shape of stars on her long silver hair. The pair of hair accessories seemed to be processed from natural shells, with beautiful natural patterns, which made people feel that they were very cute at first glance.
But Helen didn't seem to be very used to wearing this kind of clothes, as it could be seen by her pulling the edges of her clothes from time to time.
"That's all. After returning to the continent, Arcelia, you should find a suitable reason to stay with the master. As for Lapis..." Aya's speech had come to an end, but at this time Lapis' cold voice interrupted her. ,
"Warning, there is an unknown ship approaching from three kilometers away! There are high-energy responses on board. It is probably the reaction of level 7 powerhouses or magic beasts close to level 8, and it will enter the Ulysses defense range in three minutes. Requesting instructions."
"What! A ship is coming here!" Aya flew up to the ship in surprise, and looked at the sea to the right of the ship.
Not far from the ship, there was indeed a ship heading toward them. The ship was black all over, with steel plates nailed to the hull, and the bow had a sharp steel spike five or six meters long. And above the ship hung a big skull flag.
"Pirates?" Looking at the skull flag fluttering in the wind, Aya's face showed a strange look.Plan 2 Monthly AccessTier 1: 14 Advance chapters Link
