Angel At this time, his clothes were soaked and clinging to his body. His pale golden hair was dripping with sea water. His appearance, which had been enhanced by Potion many times, was displayed in front of many pirates, but it was as fearsome as Siren who sang the praises of death.
She walked slowly up the stairs from the lower deck, which meant... the companions left behind below had either been killed by her, or had been routed, and there was no time to even sound the alarm...
"Invasion!"
Following Captain William's roar, the pirates who were getting closer subconsciously raised their weapons that were originally intended to be aimed at Blue Mountain Rose in the distance. They screamed to be bold and rushed towards Angel.
Those in the distance were more sober-minded. Some were protecting their companions in front of them, taking out single-shot fire guns and secretly aiming at them. Some were pushing others to cheer up the pirates who dared to step forward.
"Bang bang——"
Several dense gunshots rang out, and Angel Miaoman was no longer visible in the thick smoke.
"She's up there!"
William's First Mate "Button" Jason, a man who is completely opposite to his nickname, a two-meter-tall tall man frowned and looked at the roaring wind above his head. Under the cover of the dazzling sunlight, Angel used the pull of invisible threads to fall as fast as lightning. The "Sword of Dawn" in his hand pulled out a snow-white sword light and slashed at Jason.
At the critical moment, "Lucky William" next to Jason once again used the alertness and Luck he relied on to survive naval battles. He kicked First Mate, who was almost twice his weight, away, and he used the reaction force to jump to the other side.
The next second, Angel's heavy chop hit the spot where they were originally standing, punching a large hole in the thick fir deck directly below. The entire "City Breaker" tail side trembled due to this force, making an overwhelming creaking sound, and debris flew across the deck.
Behind her, many pirates who were slightly confused because they had lost their target had been eroded by the invisible germs pouring out from below, and began to show various symptoms that affected the battle. The weak ones had begun to feel dizzy and cough, and the strong Sailor was also breathing heavily, and his steps were no longer steady.
From the moment he boarded the deck, Angel's real target was only the captain "Lucky William" who was Beyonder. As for the other pirates, they only needed to wait for one minute before they were completely incapable of fighting due to the disease.
Of course, she did not completely ignore the pirates behind her with swords and muskets. A few invisible threads quickly entangled, selected some Luck pirates, tied them up, and let them drag each other. In an instant, those who still had the strength and courage to approach her were rolled together, causing them to stagger while colliding and dragging each other back.
"Affliction...Demoness..."
As one of the captains of "Vice Admiral of Ailment", William's eyes widened as he recognized Angel's Potion Sequence. The urge to resist that had just surged in his heart was instantly extinguished like the flames in Storm. He threw the exaggerated double-barreled musket in front of him and ran towards the side of the ship at an extremely fast pace.
He is well aware of the ability of "Affliction" and knows that he may only have less than a minute to move. If he cannot escape the scope of the disease and waits for various serious illnesses to occur, his fate will not be much better than those unlucky ones who dare to touch Tracy.
Dodge one of her attacks on me, jump off the side of the ship in three seconds, and fall into the water in another three seconds. At the speed of "City Breaker", even if I float, I can still leave the range of the "disease" in twenty seconds... William's brain is as precise as a machine, calculating his escape route.
He stepped on the rag that was thrown on the deck and slipped down. Luck dodged a sharp Ice Spike that was flying quickly behind him. He stagnated in the sudden burst of cold air and let another Black Flame fly past his forehead.
Very good, the Luck I accumulated has once again come into play... A smile appeared on his lips, he climbed up on his hands and feet, climbed onto the side of the ship, looked sideways behind him, and prepared to jump off and escape "City Breaker".
At this moment, a black shadow flashed before his eyes, drawing an elegant arc and falling into his escape route-the blue sea.
It was the head of "Button" Jason, with its eyes widened, the corner of its mouth torn, and a wisp of blood.
He is "Pugilist". I can't beat him in a head-on battle... William Just as this thought flashed through his mind, his limbs were touched by the silk thread extending from behind. They were entangled several times in an instant, stretched into the shape of a cross, and hung in the air above the side of the ship.
His last Luck still failed to prevent him from avoiding the opponent's attack.
Putting away the "Good Luck" revolver that had made no sound due to two consecutive stink bombs, Angel curiously looked at the "Lucky William" hanging in the air, and understood the origin of the opponent's nickname.
This guy should be the Beyonder of the "monster" Pathway, just like the Beyonder Characteristic that makes Good Luck Revolver, and can bring himself Luck... He avoided several of my attacks I should have used up all my luck... Of course, the "Good Luck" revolver also brought me a lot of bad luck. The combined effect of the two was so powerful that it almost allowed him to escape the attack of Sequence 5 and Beyonder.
Angel chuckled and looked back at the pirates lying on the ground behind the deck. These guys, who were only slightly stronger than ordinary people, had lost their fighting power due to the all-pervasive disease. Like the seriously ill patients on the deck below, they had only room to breathe and could not even pick up weapons.
"No, don't kill me. This is the ship of 'Vice Admiral of Ailment' Tracy, and she is also a member of the Demoness Sect..."
William came with a trembling voice.
Demoness Sect... Sure enough, being promoted to Sequence 5, Tracy escaped from this secret sect that had mastered the "assassin" Pathway Potion It doesn't matter... Angel remembered what Edwina said. Behind every "Pirate Admiral" there is a stronger force, and it seems that "Vice Admiral of Ailment" is no exception.
"You were the ones who attacked my Passenger Ship first. Is this also what Tracy meant?"
She asked in a pretended serious tone with a hint of anger.
"No, no, it's all a misunderstanding," William hurriedly denied, "I just followed the order to intercept the Passenger Ship and search for a young woman. I had absolutely no intention of offending you!"
It seems that "Vice Admiral of Ailment" has indeed locked the position of Helene through some method. Her so-called anti-tracking ability is not even half of her provocation ability... Angel glanced at "Blue Mountain Rose" who was still getting closer due to the headwind. His heart moved and a playful smile appeared on his lips:
"Are you looking for a Red-Haired Lady named Helene? She is indeed on that Passenger Ship."
Seeing a hopeful smile suddenly appear on William's face, Angel added:
"But don't expect to find her. Go back and tell your general that she... is already mine."
"Okay, okay, I will convey it to you..."
William's face changed several times, and finally stayed on a look of disappointment, but with a slightly relaxed expression, he replied in a low voice, seeming to have given up on arresting Helene.
This should allow the opponent Affliction to digest part of Potion... but the effect seems not strong enough, because capturing Helene is just his mission, not a real wish?
Seeing the ever-changing expression on the pirate captain's face, Angel thought, hoisted him from the side of the ship back to the deck with a silk thread, tied him tightly to the rudder that had begun to deflect because no one was in control, and walked to the other side of the ship.
He stepped on the fender of the ship's side and made a move to jump off "City Breaker". Angel suddenly turned his head and looked at William who was secretly glancing at him, waiting for his evil star to leave. He chuckled and said:
"By the way, Helene just said that 'Lucky William' seems to have a reward of 2,800 pounds?"
She retracted her stepped foot, her eyes brightened, and walked back to the center of the deck, her right hand on the holster at her waist.
"No, that's it, that's what I was bragging about! I did have a lot of bounties before I got involved with Tracy, but after a pirate who looked very similar to me was captured to collect the bounty, the bounty was cleared!" William looked puzzled at first, then quickly reacted and explained in panic, "Now 'Vice Admiral of Ailment' won't let us kill people indiscriminately, and no one has any rewards. Really, if you ask them..."
He looked around and saw the headless "Button" Jason lying in a pool of blood. The other pirates were either unable to respond or pretended to be unable to respond. No one paid attention to the situation here.
This man must be so lucky. He was able to clear out the bounty because someone who looked similar to him was caught... No, maybe it was some Adventurer who pretended to take credit for the reward and did it on purpose... Angel smiled secretly and nodded.
"I see, then there is no point in killing you..."
She left the handle of the gun with her right hand, patted her head lightly, and looked as if she had remembered something.
"... But since I have left so many of your subordinates to bring messages to Tracy, there is no point in keeping you alive!"
Clusters of Black Flame emerged in the air and concentrated on the rudder along the silk thread, igniting William whose mood instantly fell to the bottom, with anger and despair on his face.
Black Flame, which can burn both flesh and Spirit Body at the same time, received sufficient fuel and shot up a flame wave more than two meters high, burning fiercely on the speeding "City Breaker", mixed with William's cry that went from high to low, and finally stopped abruptly.
From the charred corpse, wisps of light rich in Spirituality gradually separated out and turned into a thumb-sized light yellow crystal. This was "Lucky William", which probably belonged to the "monster" Pathway Sequence 7's Beyonder Characteristic.
Will most Sailor and pirates who call themselves "Luck" encounter Misfortune?
Thinking of the batch of "Lucky Nick" in Bayam, Angel chuckled and picked up Beyonder Characteristic, put it in his pocket, and regarded it as his harvest of today's pirate hunting together with the characteristics extracted from the previous burly pirate.
From the beginning to the end, no one of the pirates lying on the first deck dared to move. Even Affliction's coughs were suppressed, lest they be heard by this Demoness.
Feeling the fearful glances on the deck and the scrutinizing gazes on Blue Mountain Rose in the distance, Angel confirmed that the digestion of "Affliction" Potion in the body had made considerable progress.
"It makes people fall from full of hope to the bottom of despair... This kind of acting method is worthy of being 'Demoness'..."
She sighed secretly and came to the side of the ship again. This time she was really ready to leave.
But before you jump in the water, maybe try...
He took out the "Calamity" Charm from his pocket that he had never had a chance to use since it was made. Angel looked back at the pirates who followed "Lucky William" and whose hands might have been stained with blood. He hesitated for a moment and began to pour Spirituality into the dark red iron piece engraved with complex runes.
"Calamity."
She murmured, and the Spirituality in her body instantly accelerated and transferred into Charm. It was not until nearly half of the Spirituality disappeared that the iron piece began to give out a cold touch, which gave her a sense of danger.
Bounce Charm forward like a coin and let it spin and fall to the deck. Angel quickly jumped off the side of the ship, changed an elegant posture in the air, and fell into the water with a splash as Illusory Scales appeared on the skin.
Behind her, a dangerous aura surged up that made her feel fearful and trembling. Before that, only Megose, the child of Tingen City, who was pregnant with "True Creator", and Lanevus, Backlund before being severely injured by "Goddess's Sword", had made her feel similar.
Lifting from the water, Angel silently looked back at the "City Breaker". This giant ship, which had been flamboyant a few minutes ago and rapidly approaching Blue Mountain Rose, had silently turned into countless scattered wood fragments, each piece riddled with holes, as if it had been decayed for hundreds of years, falling like rain on the sea.
The shouting pirates fell into the water one after another, and a few who were still unconscious bubbled and sank to the bottom of the sea, but most of them climbed onto the rotting debris and scattered wooden boxes and wine barrels. Regardless of the lingering illness, they paddled with their feet desperately away from the stunned Angel, as if he was the most terrifying evil god in the world.
Is this the power of "Calamity"?
