This part of the ocean still remained inside my memories. The battle we had in this place was epic, but it almost took our lives. We still wondered how we were still alive. And as the tide splashed the walls of our ship, the more we could sense that doom was creeping closer in our skin in the form of various fish. It would take approximately around five to ten minutes to kill all of these creatures, and another thirty minutes to leave this place and proceed to the safezone. The safezone, according to Captain Israel, was a site free from any monsters and the like. It was a place where nobody could get hurt. Captain Israel marked my map and told me the specific area where the ship could stay in the safezone. And that location was close to the horizon. However, it wasn’t that easy. Before we could even reach the safezone, we had to deal with a myriad of monsters coming in our way for thirty minutes. And thirty minutes wasn’t that long. Not to mention, we had yet fought against the boss
[Congratulations! You have now used [Corsair]! You have now access to lightning abilities, coming from the pirate thug!] An alert popped up in front of me. It came from my system.I could not use the lightning power to move as fast as the thunder because I didn’t own the spell. I just stole or copied a portion of it. But if I really had to, maybe I could test my limit and see through my capabilities as a corsair. However, it might prove to be a challenging feat to do. If I could use it to boost my movement speed, there was a chance I could not control my power, and that skill could lead me to my doom. So I chose to use it as a weapon besides as a utility magic. And it served its purpose. At least, that was what I had thought.Once I absorbed and copied the lightning spell, just like before, I had access to all electric abilities that this girl had. But the spells she could not learn were not passed by to me. Although this restricted me from tapping the woman’s potential, I had an ent
The murky shadow below the ocean still haunted our eyes. But I averted my orbs and focused on the battle of what was ahead of us. There was no point in worrying about something that had yet to happen. These monsters of small-fries kept coming in the ship. We had to stop it. After instructing the pirates, they went to their positions and did their roles as I had told them. Not one defied my commands, which shocked me to the bones. But I pushed the thoughts aside and focused more on what to do for the remaining time. Right now, three minutes had already passed by, and the lighting covering my sword was fading out. My rapier was a decent weapon against those monsters. It never became dull. But with the electric current added to my blade, it served me four times better than the regular one I had.So just before three minutes had lapsed by, I renewed the ability and copied the same lightning spell that the pirate had. Three minutes had gone by, and we had twenty two minutes to arrive towa
I thought that we had them within eighteen minutes. As soon as the monkeys arrived, another three minutes passed by, and now we were down to fifteen minutes. It was not bad. And not a single boss bit us from behind. But I had thought wrong. The battle had just begun. The horde of boss-like monsters finally entered the fray and created tidal waves enough to move the boat in a zigzag manner. These crashed waves created by the beasts even attempted to move us back from where we had come from, away from our destination. Thankfully, Captain Israel got us covered as she steered the boat. I got her back and protected Captain Israel as she put her hands on the steering wheel and navigated her way towards our original path. However, we also had to deal with the raging marine fiends below the water. And they didn’t come friendly. It would take me a few hours or minutes to describe every monster that appeared in the ocean. But I could name a few. The kraken and the megalodon boss also appear
We only had twelve minutes to win and survive what was about to happen. After finding out the weak spots of the monsters, Captain Israel offered all the pirate crew and herself to me as I became the temporary general for this brigade. “What are you planning us to do, Arata? Just say the word, and the pirates are yours to command,” Captain Israel stated, with her eyes looking into mine. Not that in a romantic way…“I need you to hit the glowing thingy on…” I paused for a second, reminding myself that these dumbasses were blind as fuck. It was not because they were ill. My selfish system had a mind of its own and decided to resent anyone who wished to have this prowess of mine. So instead of telling the pirates to attack the creatures with the “glowing thingy” I told them… “Do you see that limb over there?”“What do you mean by that ‘thingy?’” Captain Israel asked.I yelled, 1 cracking my voice, “THAT LIMB, YOU….” I held back the word I wanted to say as I left a horrible grunt while ma
I wanted to ask if Kirameki was hurt from what had happened, but it was bluntly obvious. Kirameki was catching her breath. But despite what had happened to her, Kirameki never complained and cared for the less fortunate ones who got hit by the monster. She didn’t suffer a fatal blow, but Kirameki was still hurt. Her wounds were just scratches on her shoulders and hands, and that was about it. Thankfully, those grazes were the only thing she had suffered. If Kirameki were to receive such a devastating blow… I didn’t know what I was about to do with myself. I left my sister in the hands of Francoise and Azure, who were also wounded from the previous strike coming from the kraken. Both of these women were now prohibited to fight. And even if Francoise and Azure could lift their weapons and cast their spells, I doubted their bodies would last much longer. We needed them conscious more than their spells, since their abilities couldn’t hurt a snail. It was better if they could nurse the inj
From the pirate’s point of view, Captain Israel and I fighting together was something unusual. Even I couldn’t believe it. But we did.My electric sword was my bread and butter, allowing me to slice through anything with lightning speed movements paired with electrifying current. It added up to my damage. But I had never thought that moment would end too quickly. And now my hopes shattered into pieces.The only way for us to win was for me to use my lightning saber and hoped for the best. That was what I thought. However, now that it was gone, our options became limited. And I had to use my normal sword as my weapon, limiting me from using any damage at all.‘This is the ceiling I would eventually hit if I come face to face with an enemy where I cannot copy their spells,’ I thought, while fighting against the small-fries first before eventually hitting the gargantuan ones.Just like what I had thought, the rapier did its job, but it was inferior to the lightning blade or imbuing it wi
The Aspidochelone was wounded thanks to the slashing technique Captain Israel taught me. It kept wriggling left to right as if dodging an invisible spell, and continued to move in a zigzag manner every now and then. That beast wasn’t aware of its surroundings. But given its killer instinct, the Aspidochelone somehow knew exactly where to find me and the boat. The same could be described towards the other boss-like creatures, except they moved in an animal manner. I was a human, so I could tell. Nothing was different the last time the monsters and I clashed against each other. But it seemed that these creatures were a bit desperate, as they used their physical spells against us and disregarded everything in its way, including their own kind. The monster still chose to tackle the boat despite its wobbling motions, only for it to collide with the megalodon shark and hit it on the spot. Both their health bars decreased. And the collision was enough to even immobilise the Aspidochelone,
