The villagers were far from the battle. But since these pirates played dirty to win, I would bet they were after the town hall at the heart of the Honeywood town. Not to mention, I may also be dealing with traitors from the inside, handing out information to the pirates. But I couldn’t tell if that was happening. And even if it was, it was too late for me to check everyone. So I handed that job to the security system staff and told them about my insecurities about the town. I knew that none of the people from the security system would do shit behind my back, so I left the jack to them. Furthermore, I also assigned the ninja about this mission if they ever found an opening. It wasn’t because I was skeptical about the security system’s effort, but because the ninjas were highly trained assassin’s and scouts, which could make a difference. But I didn’t let the security system know about the ninjas.It turned out that even the ninjas were having a hard time dealing with the traitor among
I wasn’t a battle junkie. As much as possible, I would end things quickly and cast a devastating spell that could end the lives of many in one swoop. The adventurer's guild and the adventurer's themselves called me as the menacing mage, the bomb, and meteorite, which was one of my favourites. I had many names. But death was actually one of them that piqued my interest. However, I couldn’t do that this time. It was because I was fighting together with these soldiers and protecting the people behind my back. Not to mention, I had to defend the municipal hall where my wife was currently in and had an operation. Inside that operating table were dozens of elite ninjas, mages, knights, and such guarding their post. So I was stuck with the above average ones, which I hope would cut it. Although I was confident with my skills, I was up against human beings, let alone pirates. They weren’t smart, but they weren’t dumb either. They knew exactly how I fought, and if I was the only one on the b
“Yeah… I'm Japanese. The name’s Owari Ryutarou,” I answered in a Japanese language too… “What’s your name?”All my life spent in this world, I thought I was the only one reincarnated in another world. But there were more of us. And to top it off, this girl who was the Captain of the pirates was also Japanese! What were the odds!”There was no time for me to be this astonished as I was in front of my enemy. Even though this person was Japanese, I suspected she was in the same era as me or even earlier. Either way, Captain Blackjack knew exactly what a car and guns were, so the pirates were easily trained by her knowledge. Even Captain Blackbeard’s fellow pirate, Captain Israel, didn’t know what we were saying about and shared the same shocking expression as I had. Maybe Captain Israel was the type of person who knew every language in this world, but stumbled upon two Japanese people.So instead of pursuing Japanese as our mother tongue, Captain Blackbeard switched her gears “My name’
Captain Blackbeard wasted no time as she went straight at me with her sword. I had a gun - a machine gun fused like a rifle - with me and used it to my advantage. Even though I had my blade inside my sheath, I wanted to surprise Captain Blackbeard and use my melee weapon at the last second, just to trip Captain Blackbeard up.I open-fired at Captain Blackbeard, but the woman kept running in a zigzag pattern, dodging every shot I made. The moment Captain Blackbeard was right in front of me, I rolled backward and continued shooting non-stop until my magazine was depleted. But out of a hundred bullets I threw, none of them hit.Since I took a step backward, I left a couple of grenades, flashbangs, and smoke bombs from where I stood earlier and detonated them. ‘That should do it!’ I thought, as I watched the smoke covered Captain Blackbeard’s position. However, that didn’t get her. When the ebony clouds disappeared, the image of Captain Blackbeard took shape, telling me she didn’t have an
Captain Blackbeard knew the way of the sword. Her fighting style was conservative, but she was too carefree. Her figure acted as if she wouldn’t care if she got hit by something. But in reality, Captain Blackbeard was already on her opponent’s head… my head, as she dodged every single attack I did and scratched me, as if telling me she could kill me whenever she wanted to. Captain Israel, on the other hand, was on the offensive. Her attacks doubled every time she striked with her sword. The way she moved was different from an ordinary swordsman. My spell wasn’t the best, but I made sure the ability I had cast could kill or injure a dragon. But that wasn’t the case for Israel. I didn’t know what Captain Blackbeard would’ve done if she was the one on the front lines, but Captain Israel sliced my meteorite and turned it into dust. I was planning to cast multiple meteorites in the Captain’s area, but… I still had some municipal hall to save. Not to mention, there were people behind me. I
The spell I was winding about was the same spell Captain Israel had foreseen, but thought I wouldn’t do it. It was casting an ability that could destroy the entire town, an island, or even the Kingdom. This was a skill that I didn’t want to use, but had no other choice but to conjure it for the sake of protecting this village as well as saving my pregnant wife. It also seemed that the villagers were prepared to offer their lives for the sake of finishing this match. So I respected their decision and had made up my mind.A magic circle swiftly appeared before me. The next thing I knew, a thousand meteorites rained above our heads, directly aiming at the pirates and Captain Israel. One meteorite could kill an S-Rank adventurer. So I assumed a few more molten rocks would suffice to turn the tides around and kill one of the Captains of the pirates. Captain Israel may be strong and overpowered, but she could not stand against the meteorites. Even if she managed to slice a few molten rocks
It didn’t take long before I successfully wiped out most pirates and left a few of my people alive. There were still pirates who withstood the blast, but they were gravely injured. Like what happened last time, the pirates' medics were also saved by my barrier. I made sure they would live for another day and tend to those injuries my opponents had, despite them being my enemies. It was just etiquette at this point. The lively town turned into hell. Even the temperature had risen, so I had to use my chilling breeze just to make the environment comfortable for me. Those meteorites I had cast morphed the village into a desolate plain, with nothing to see besides molten craters and dust belonging to the people who took the raining rocks from above. Although the people I saved didn’t die, they received multiple minor injuries that rendered them immobile for the time being. The same could be said to the pirates who had magically survived the catastrophe.As soon as I knew the fight was alr
Captain Blackbeard had been fighting against Captain Israel for some time soon, while I was stuck inside this unit, operating and hoping for Elizabeth to deliver the baby through a natural procedure or… cesarean without any anesthesia or the sterile instrument usually found in the operating room. But the latter was most likely to happen. Fortunately, I was a trained physician, but not versed in the operating table. However, I didn’t have a choice. I wanted to save Elizabeth and our baby inside her womb, while coming out on top of this fight. All I had to do now was… perform all of that and make sure it happens.“You’re going to be alright, Elizabeth. I just need you to be conscious… conscious enough you know what’s happening in your surroundings.”“I’m trying… But, Owari. Can I ask you a question?”“Yeah?” I answered, while aiming my scalpel near my wife’s abdomen.“If there’s a chance you’d have to choose me or the baby, I want you to choose the baby.”“NO!” I shouted, and returned
