Captain Israel did everything she could to fight back the monsters. As she revealed her sword, the Captain sliced through everything she saw. But her blades were not enough to cut through the tentacles. It took Captain Israel five seconds just to hack the tentacles into half and another few seconds to kill off the horde. She didn’t use spells, just like Azure mentioned. Captain Israel had nothing. But thanks to her mastery of the sword, Captain Israel needed no magical abilities to defend herself and her people.But it wasn’t enough.Moments later, Azure and the people who had spells in their pockets cast their skills. Azure stretched her hands and blew away some octopuses and squids out of the equation. But the waves were too much. When the water crashed against the deck, the marine creatures returned, even stronger, and brought more beasts. Since she was not accustomed to fighting and using her abilities, Azure gasped for air as she wiped off the sweat drenching her face.The same c
While Captain Israel engrossed herself in fixing the vessel, she also commanded a few of her mates to do what they could. And during this crisis, having a leader was something people could appreciate. And for the record, Captain Israel never ordered me to do anything. It was like she was avoiding my gaze. And every time she wanted to call my name, Captain Israel gritted her teeth and averted her stare. Furthermore, Captain Israel specifically asked Azure to standby for further instructions and skipped the battle despite having the means to defend other people. Although Azure declined it at first, she eventually placed her trust on Captain Israel and prohibited herself to cast any spell. But she still helped other pirates. But as stated by the Captain of the ship, her magic was far more important to use for later rather than pushing the monster for a few centimetres. But Captain Israel hinted at one thing, and she only meant that for Azure. However, for some reason, she let me hear i
I was desperate. No matter what kind of obstacle was in front of me, I vowed to make a change and protect the ones I love. And that meant saving both Kirameki and the five girls I met a while back. Our conversation with Kirameki was the only driving force I needed. After digesting every word and promise I made for Kirameki, I wanted to save the five pirate girls and my sister… I wanted to save them both.I needed to find something to make my goal happen. But the boat was sinking. And Captain Israel and Francoise were too busy minding their business, and asking for them to lend a hand was nearly impossible. I was left with no other choice but to use my powers.But how? How could I possibly use my abilities to my advantage when the marine monsters refused to cast their spells and the skills these pirates had were worthless? Then again, what choice did I have? Since it had come to this, I browsed the area and spotted a familiar face.It was a pirate who I had already copied her spell a
Unfortunately, not everything went in my way. If it was that easy, maybe we could’ve done something better. And if I was more powerful enough, this entire endeavour wouldn’t even last for a minute.However, I still had no control over my powers. And even though my ability was overpowered thanks to copying one’s spell and making it more impressive than usual, this was my first time, technically, fighting and surviving from this other world. I could count the megalodon as my former encounter, but I set it aside, knowing it was just a baby monster. But these creatures… they really were the king of the abominable island.As I performed my responsibility and aspired to save the two parties, there were three variables that came in front of me. One was the tentacles and the other monster who had just showed up, but Captain Israel kept it busy for the time being. We were safe from the Kraken for now. Little did I know that the mysterious creature was the real megalodon shark swimming below m
To top it off, the duration of my copied spell wouldn’t last long enough. I only had thirty seconds left in my arsenal since I had already spent a minute on casting the spells and saving the five pirates. It was longer, because I rescued more people. So I deduced that if I was going to rescue Kirameki alone, thirty seconds should be enough time for her to evade death. And afterward, that spell would be on cooldown, so I had to wait for another eight minutes before I could activate it again. However, it wasn’t that easy. Even though I had ample time just to save Kirameki, I wouldn't make it. She was currently falling from the ship. And I had just come back from where I was, with my hands extended and hoped to reach her. We were a few feet apart, and the turbulent wind from the spell I copied was not hasty enough to make it in time. For the next five seconds or so, Kirameki would meet her maker as she was right next to the megalodon. I could still remember the time where my sister wan
"Our lives are in your hands now, Arata. I'll buy you seven minutes. But right after seven, you're going to be on your own. I still need to fix the ship and fight back the "What's your plan, Arata? Give me the gist of it, and maybe I could help you out even after seven minutes. I could give you a tool, maybe?" Captain Israel added. Those were the words Captain Israel threw at me as soon as I told her my intentions. However, I wasn’t finished. And Captain Israel demanded every little detail of the plan I had in my mind or the summary of what was going to happen.With the little intelligence I had, I extracted my thoughts and abridged what I had in mind. “Basically, I want you to give me seven minutes. There’s something I want to do with the weather.”With no questions asked, Captain Israel nodded. I had no idea if she got what I intended, but it didn’t matter. The resources I needed were all in front of me, and I just had to execute it. If there was an insulator… maybe a metal rod of
The plan was like this. It was as straightforward as it could possibly get. Before the thunder could strike, I have to lure those monsters into the designated place, use my sword for… some reason, and redirect the lightning towards the creatures. But the question was, how can I do that? I had an idea how, but there was no certainty that I could pull it off with the power and resources I had with me. First, I had to lure this thundershock towards the monster. Second, I would be using this metal rod… err, sabre to redirect the lightning at the two creatures. Third, I would copy her ability to… ‘Why do I have the feeling this will not work out?’ I told myself, and reassessed my plot for the second time. The third, fourth, fifty,... For one hundred times, my plan inside my head, which should’ve flowed smooth, actually went on a rough bed of nails. Whatever I thought about, the situation would lead me to one conclusion. I would die because of that lightning. I wouldn’t be fast enough t
I manevuered my way back towards the shelter after pinpointing the place where I wanted the lightning to strike. As luck would have it, my powers allowed me to see or calculate the chances where it would land. According to my system, it was just around the corner. And it was right beside the shelter where the pirates and my sister were located.The situation never eased. However, the time was spent well, and we only had a minute left from the countdown. Fortunately, everything was already prepared, and the only thing I had to do was within my grasp.While I was at it, I glanced at Captain Israel and thought about her situation. Her condition looked grim. As she fought back against the horde of aquatic small-fries together with the megalodon and the Kraken, Captain Israel suffered wounds and bruises all over her body. She had been spitting blood for the past few moments. And if I had to guess it right, Captain Israel’s body was nearly reaching her limit.Even so, we never heard her co
