Yet concurrently, a black glow beamed out from on board the Dingyuan.
Looking up, a terrifying, blazing maelstrom was raging inside a sparkling and limpid crystal ball. Suddenly, a peculiar 5 hearts poker card swiveled out and lacerated through Prince Stalo’s hand.
3 severed fingers spiraled up, as flames licked up the leaking blood before the fingers splattered onto the ground.
The 5 of Hearts curved a screeching arc around Prince Stalo, as it scraped up a torching circular inferno around him! Instantly, his world of ice was filled with plains of sea fire!
Prince Stalo groaned distractedly, allowing that whale tusk to smash through his ice shield and puncture through all his defense; before stabbing deep into his chest!
Instantly, he coughed out a long 7 metre streak of turbid blood! The blood appeared like ink in contrast to the seawater, still flourishing with vitality!
The ‘Greenland Lethal weapon’ was a deadly weapon employed for hunting legendary sea creatures. Could Prince Stalo’s defense be spoken of in the same breath as that of those thick-fleshed legendary creatures? Definitely not!
Upon viewing the terrifying data transmitted by his nightmare imprint, that single strike…that single strike had utterly destroyed every ounce of fighting spirit in Prince Stalo!!
If he received yet another strike, even a formidable Growth-hunter like him……would surely perish!!
"This is ridiculously unfair!!! If we were on even grounds, how would you be able to reduce me to such a sorry state! On even grounds, it is impossible for such a crude primitive tool to toy with me!"
At this very moment, Prince Stalo suddenly observed Sheyan signaling an attack gesture. He immediately bellowed frantically before utterly disappearing from this world.
Evidently, he had utilized an incredibly precious battle escape tool and directly returned to the nightmare realm. Nevertheless, Prince Stalo hadn’t reaped any benefits in this world yet. Thus, the penalty of striking away all profits gain was completely useless to him!
Still, Sheyan’s Dingyuan had already imprinted on this formidable male, a profoundly tormenting……humiliation!!!
Personally spectating this scene, Sheyan didn’t feel particularly surprised. Nevertheless, his lips curled sinisterly as he surveyed the chaotic scene below.
"I’ll hand over those two guys to you two. What dog sheet Ghost Ship, wasn’t it still crushed into a rotten mess by our Dingyuan? It seems something strange has happened on board, I’ll go have a look."
Mogensha and Reef both nodded towards his order. One must understand, this wasn’t a painstaking 2 versus 2. Instead, it was two dogs who had fallen overboard versus 200 fully armed pirates, a powerful Growth-hunter and a Reserve-duty Growth Hunter!
Therefore, it was determined that the two unfortunate kids abandoned by Prince Stalo, would meet a tragic end!
Sheyan left urgently firstly because there was no longer any suspense pertaining to the battle, and he wouldn’t be able to do anything anyway. Secondly, to his furious shock, Sheyan realized some of his capable subordinates were absent. Thus, he immediately sought out Taitish.
"Where’s Redbeard? Why haven’t I seen him?"
Taitish sighed and answered.
"My master, he, unfortunately, died from a hemorrhage fever last month. Fortunately, his cousin, a retired naval officer with relatively high standards, had rushed over to sent him off in bereavement. His cousin showed great interests in our ship, and we allowed him to replace Redbeard’s vacant position."
Sheyan then asked in shock.
"Then what about Blacksail?"
This time, Ol’Seadog interrupted to answer.
"Aye, the last time we be encounterin’ a legendary creature, he unfortunately passed in battle. But durin’ our recent trip to Tortuga, while drinkin’ in a tavern we met a lad named Seawolf and dragged him to replace Blacksail’s position."
Sheyan then headed off to meet with Redbeard’s cousin and Seawolf, before discovering their battle power and capabilities were exactly identical to his two dead mates.
Sheyan suddenly recalled a matter, which was the notification he had received when entering the Pirates of the Caribbean world.
[ World progression rate will be determined by the progress of party leader, no.1018. Related relationships of party members pertaining to this world may be preserved, or converted in other ways ]
[ Citing an example: In Sheyan’s world progression, Alchemist Peigan has already been killed. However, by chance Reef had a ‘Worshipped’ relationship with him, upon entering, though Peigan will remain dead, he would be substituted with someone else; possibly his son/wife/alchemy apprentice. The substitution will maintain a ‘Worshipped’ relationship with Reef, and provide roughly the same functionalities as Alchemist Peigan ]
This goes to say, both Redbeard and Blacksail had unluckily met with a mishap. Probably in the Pirates of the Caribbean worlds of either Prince Stalo, Douglas or the other subordinate, both of them had died. Thus, due to the factoring conflicts of both parties, they were withdrawn from the battle and replaced with new but similar storyline characters.
To his surprise, the missing Canbi from his clash against Ammand had returned to the ship.
That pirate’s loyalty and devotion was definitely non-discountable, and his return was a wondrous event.
According to Sheyan’s conjecture, Canbi could very possibly have performed a relatively important persona in the history worlds of Prince Stalo or the other two. Thus, this was why he had miraculously returned.
In this manner, Sheyan managed to rake in a cheap advantage. Why so? Because when the realm calculated Redbeard and Blacksail’s strength, they factored in their wearable unique storyline equipments. Thus, their replacements were also individuals with mirroring capabilities. Instead, those two replacements weren’t enhanced by unique storyline equipments yet. This signified there was still plenty of room for them to grow.
Furthermore, during the period of Sheyan’s departure, the pirates hadn’t been idling. They actually had a lucky stroke and hunted down a high-tier legendary creature. Which was an unlucky newly born Cachalot. Furthermore, they even fortuitously ran into an idling ‘pain in the arse’ Mister Paul, who swam towards the pirates asking for a ‘pedicure’. Naturally, they assisted Paul, while Paul assisted them with their legendary creature. In the end, the Baladine Bloodsail advanced in progress once again.
At present, time was tight.
After a simple small meeting with his pirate crew, he ordered them to follow the voyage route to Africa that he had researched about earlier on. Moreover, Sheyan reckoned his pirates would be able to procure rarely seen African specialties, like tobacco, diamonds and other small capital but huge profits goods; where they could smuggle back to sell. Hence, the pirates were also exceedingly enthusiastic.
The Dingyuan was Sheyan’s flagship and his crew members were no strangers. They wouldn’t be like ordinary ship members that needed assimilation.
After issuing the directions, the crew naturally steered the ship towards that direction by themselves. With this free time, Sheyan returned to his captain’s quarters. At this moment, Brother Black and Reef came rushing in with a delighted countenance.
"Boss! Those two fools actually delivered pretty amazing equipments from their dropped blood keys. They even supplied a relatively ample amount of items. They are truly delivery mailmen!"
"That ‘assassin’ is called Daluo and is pretty much one of Stalo’s limbs. Stalo would surely be in tears now that we’ve eliminated him. Furthermore, it seems like Eros has betrayed him too. The overall prowess of his party has probably plunged beneath Zi’s party standards as well."
While discussing, they exhibited out the properties of an equipment.
[ Siege Hooves ]
[ Shoe (special) ]
[ Rarity: Silver Storyline grade ]
[ Property: Physique +3 / Strength +1 / Agility +1 ]
[ Property: Movement speed +3, Ignore 50% of movement speed influenced by vile terrains ]
[ Equipment ability: Trampling Hooves (active) - Usable on a single target within a metre radius. This ability factors in both party’s strength, and would only go into effect if wielder’s strength surpasses target by 5 points. When in effect, the target will be knocked down before a torrent of three consecutive trampling onto the target. Every trample deals a strength x2 damage. ‘Trampling Hooves’ provides a high chance of attacking the vital parts of the opponent, therefore, explosive strike rate of these tramples increases by 33% ]
[ Details: Activating ‘Trampling Hooves’ will cost 30 MP ]
[ Details: After activating ‘Trampling Hooves’, there is a chance for user’s leg to receive backlash. User’s movement speed will reduce by 50% which lasts for 10 seconds ]
[ Details: This ability will be ineffective against large targets 1.6x your size ]
[ Cooldown: 1,200 seconds ]
[ Description: This equipment can be dropped from centaurs in the Harry Potter world ]
After a series of discussions, the trio actually agreed Sheyan should receive it. However, as he was currently accumulating attribute points while his physique value was also capped at 49 points, if he wore these shoes, he would directly break into the realms of a Reserve-duty Growth-Hunter. Hence, the shoes were temporarily gifted to Reef, until Sheyan officially breaks through the boundary.
At this moment, Ol’Seadog knocked the door. After entering, he spoke with a mystified voice.
"Cap’n."
The trio looked at him with eyes brimming with expectations.
Suddenly, Sheyan’s heart was stirred and he burst into laughter.
"Were you guys up to no good during my period of absence?"
Indeed, Ol’Seadog then led Sheyan into the ship’s hold. Surprisingly, there was an area demarcated into a chiller by Taitish’s use of occult magic. Heaps of dense ice chunks had been piled up inside, and heaps of corpses were stored within!
As it turns out, the pirates didn’t relegate themselves to mere smuggling. They hadn’t forgotten their pirate roots, and had brazenly started pillaging!
Anyway, whenever they encountered any problems, they could activate the ship’s legendary ability ‘Ocean’s Merriment’ and they would be fine. Although Sheyan’s wasn’t around, the ability could still be activated through the few backbone cores he selected. Although its effects and duration would shrink substantially, it could still be used for escape.
Moreover, the gypsy Taitish understood the internal affairs of the gypsies like her own palm. Thus, they also pillaged some of their few merchant ships!
Presently, the frozen corpses inside the chiller were all individuals whose strength, they reckoned, their captain could plunder. That was why they placed precious emphasis on this cold storage.
