Chapter 260: Facing The Enemy By HimselfTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was not uncommon for ships to come across pirates during their voyages. Hence, they must be equipped with cannons or even needed assistance from fast boats to help them in moving forward.

If there were valuable goods on the ships, the crews would invite Space Mages and Wind Mages to escort their voyage. There’s no smoke without fire. Wind Mages could control the direction of the wind and allow the ships to move forward quickly. And having Space Mages as their guards, they could transfer the goods to a secret place in emergency situations.

In the epic, there were also Advanced Space Mages who specialized in providing security to the goods. If the ships encountered natural disasters or pirates, Space Mages would use magic to teleport the whole ship by changing its world coordinates, allowing it to escape from the danger.

Of course, those were epic scenes. The ship Lin Jie had boarded was not escorted by mages, and even the gunners were smatterers. Their first reaction to the war was not nervousness, but excitement… they could finally try to fire the cannons!

Lin Jie’s eyes darkened. “How am I going to get there?”

“Climb on the mast and observe the wind!” Wu Dongdong said solemnly.

“Sure!”

Lin Jie instantly understood Wu Dongdong’s intention. He was quick in his movements and climbed up the mast using both hands and feet like centipedes climbing trees. The shaking of the ship brought him great obstacles to his climb, but his movements were steady. In a few minutes, he stood on the top of the mast.

Crouching here, Lin Jie finally saw what a naval battle was! Pirate flags, which represented death and fear, fluttered against the wind on the pirate ship, which was looming in the distant fog. Every time they appeared, shells were fired and exploded on the surface of the sea. The waves were roaring wildly like frightened beasts.

Lin Jie stood up slowly on the top of the mast and shouted, “Approach!”

Wu Dongdong roared, “Approach! Gunners, cover big brother! You, protect the NPCs in the cabin!”

A sailor leaped up and brought Pleater, who was so angry that he wished to fight the pirates with his fists, into the cabin. At the same time, the ship slowly approached the pirate ship!

“Fire!”

Boom—

Shells roared and slammed fiercely on the water around the pirate ship. The surging waves beat the pirate ship and caused it to shake unsteadily, but it was gradually stabilized after ten seconds. The pirate ship was not ordinary!

It was very hard for shells to hit the ships as they were very far apart, and the theme of naval battle was still fighting at close quarters!

The ship slowly approached the pirate ship. Wu Dongdong gritted his teeth and used all his might to control the rudder. The waves that hit him almost knocked him down, and a series of over 100 Damage Dealt popped out.

“Big brother, jump!” Wu Dongdong shouted as the wind was blowing towards the pirate ship.

“OK!” Lin Jie ran up for three steps, gave a hard kick, and jumped towards the pirate ship with the help of the wind!

Feather Drop could not be used on the sea, as he could be blown down into the sea if there was any slight change in wind direction.

Lin Jie had nothing to say about Wu Dongdong’s trust. There was only one belief left in his mind—win the battle!

It could be said that no one would accept Wu Dongdong’s suggestion. In a naval battle, one would die if they fell into the sea, and there was no chance of survival. Moreover, in close combat, ropes were used to deliver the crew to the enemy’s boat, but Wu Dongdong had asked him to jump.

There was a reason for this: The pirates were at least level 35 Elites, and their attributes were much better than the group of Living jobs, who had yet to reach level 20. If ropes were used, this ship would definitely be emptied by the pirates, and the mission would fail. They would be sent directly back to the harbor, a lot of contribution points would be deducted, Not to mention the bad record it would leave in their C.V.!

Hence, they could not let the pirates board their ship!

But… who would trust a crew member who they had just met? Also, he was also a sinner who had caused many players to be prohibited from going out to sea!

However, Lin Jie trusted him!

So he jumped out!

Feeling the whirring wind in his ear, Lin Jie’s face was cut in pain. It was the pirate ship! With scarves around their heads, countless pirates shouted with swords in their hands. Shells were fired, and ropes were ready a long time ago, waiting to strike a deadly blow and then loot the goods joyfully.

[Simon Pirate] (Elite)

Level 35

Health Points: 9,000

Attack: 345-412

Defense: 130

Note: Simon Pirates belong to the famous Pirate King Simon. They are powerful and have robbed countless goods in the maritime space of Guild of Light. Watch out for their fire guns. Their bullets are covered with a deadly potion.

Dong—

A dark shadow fell from the sky and landed on the pirate ship, and the deck roared for him! Lin Jie raised his head slowly with one hand supporting on the ground. The Silver-Feathered Eagle in the sky transmitted the distribution of the pirates to him through Spirit Vision and was then blown by the sea breeze and forced into the pet space.

It was a Normal-level fleet with 65 pirates in total, all of them were level 35 Elites. A captain-like one-eyed pirate that stood next to the pirate flag should be at Boss-level.

“Kill this reckless fellow!” yelled a pirate. Then, he pulled out his fire gun and shot Lin Jie in the head!

Lin Jie’s face turned cold as he grabbed a pirate to act as a shield in front of him. The bullet drilled into the pirate’s chest, and brought a Damage Dealt of 200+!

“Get lost!” Lin Jie threw this pirate away. His swords hung on both sides, Broken Blade was lit with raging flames, and Flame Boost was activated!

Shield Cut!

Both swords flashed and attacked the pirates in front of him. The sound of cutting skin and meat by the sharp blades was mingled with the wave and burst near his ears.

-1,476! (Critical Hit)

Army Obliteration!

-1,128!

-746!

-847!

-1,366!

With a combo, the pirates’ health points dropped by half! Not only that, Flame Boost flew behind mixed with irritable flame Blade Aura, ripped apart the clothes of several pirates, and gave off a burning odor.

The pirates’ Defense was only 130 points, which was not worth mentioning facing Lin Jie’s attack of 600+!

Lin Jie attacked vigorously. Waving his swords, Blade Aura surged out, and the health points of the pirates kept dropping. When they attacked Lin Jie, he would grab a pirate and block all the damage.

That was the advantage of killing human-like monsters! They did not have so many weird ways to ignore or resist like the Undead.

“Die!”

Lin Jie slashed a pirate, a huge number of 1,192 jumped out, and the pirate died!

Ding~

—”You have killed Simon Pirate. You have received 7,500 EXP.”

Not only that, when the pirate died, there was a reflection of a shallow silver light! It was silver coins! To Lin Jie’s surprise, these monsters dropped silver coins! It was said that all pirates were greedy, and it seemed like this was not a rumor! They kept silver coins secretly, and now he was gonna be rich!

When the pirates realized that their fire guns were not effective, they pulled out their swords and shouted, “Kill him!”

Kacha-

-201!

The pirates’ short-hilted broadswords had corrosive effects on armor. Even with Lin Jie’s high defense, he could not completely resist the damage! Lin Jie’s heart flopped, and he stepped back two steps before Broken Blade roared.

Dragon’s Roar!

Rage points were pouring down, and a bunch of Damage Dealt jumped out!

-2,018!

-2,000!



Dragon’s Roar would cause 100% Critical Hit and repel the enemy! With a good move, Lin Jie activated Outraged Roar and stunned all of them. With the crazily ‘harvest’ of Broken Blade and Thunderbolt Sword, the pirates fell down one by one, and their corpses covered the entire deck!

“Kid, you’ve provoked the great Pirate King Simon, go to hell!” Finally, the captain took action. He pulled out his fire gun and shot Lin Jie right in his chest!

-400!

‘What high damage!’ Lin Jie drank a bottle of potion and activated Identify.

[One-Eyed•Walton] (Gold Boss)

Level 35

Health Points: 80,000

Attack: 389-560

Defense: 220

Note: Walton is one of the pirate commanders under Simon. He has powerful marksmanship. It is said that he has a sword that has never been revealed, and no one could survive under his sword!

“Hmph, Gold Boss!” Lin Jie gave a cold hum. A stream of ice crystals condensed on the Broken Blade and attacked towards the head of the Boss. It was the Ice Spirit Slash!

Swoosh—

-593!

A layer of crystals was condensed around the Boss’ body, making him incapable of moving. However, in the next second, he stuffed a rotten orange into his mouth and lifted the abnormal status.

+1,284!

“Detoxification and regen, two in one? What a disgusting skill.” Lin Jie’s heart flopped. At this time, the fire gun aimed at him again, and the bullet’s shooting speed was doubled!

-820! (Critical Hit)

With a Critical Hit, Lin Jie’s health points dropped by a quarter! The Boss would only need 4 shots to kill him instantly!

As the Boss’ bullet was aiming at him again, a hoarse sound of “Fire” sounded from a distance and a shell was fired. Luckily, the pirate ship was shot this time! Half of the sail was destroyed, and then the ship started to shake violently. Hence, the trajectory of the Boss’ bullet was deflected, and the bullet flew past Lin Jie’s ear.

“Wu Dongdong, keep firing, cover me!” shouted Lin Jie. Then, he slashed with Broken Blade, sending a cold Blade Aura, which burst in the Boss’ throat. A series of weak point damage jumped out, and his blood burst out!

After knowing that the Boss had the skill to lift the abnormal status, Lin Jie stopped using crowd control skills. He started to use the Ice Spirit Slash when he saw that the Boss was going to eat the oranges, and then used Dragon’s Roar to crowd control and wipe his regen.

Who knew if the Boss had a mechanism that gave him more recovery at low health points? It was better to be safe!

The ship shook more and more violently, reducing the critical strike of the Boss’ fire gun significantly. Lin Jie was even smart enough to keep several small monsters to block the bullets for himself. In less than ten minutes, the Boss was left with only 5% of its health points, while its health bar was blood red!

“You pissed me off! Ahahahahahah!” The Boss suddenly roared and pulled out a sword from his waist!

Lin Jie’s heart flopped. This was the sword that had been mentioned in the annotation. It was said that it could kill everything! He must pay more attention to it.

“Sword Trial!”

Army Obliteration!

Lin Jie’s Broken Blade collided with the sword and sent out sounds of a collision between gold and iron! The attack of Army Obliteration accurately hit the blade of the sword, and the Blade Aura penetrated the sword and stabbed the Boss’ head!

-1,263!

-1,029!

-625!

-1,288!

Boom—

The Boss’ body trembled and fell down suddenly.

At this moment, even after the weakening of the sword’s point by Army Obliteration, it was still attacking towards Lin Jie’s throat! Lin Jie was so frightened that he quickly drank a Health Potion, but the danger had not been averted. He then drank another Perfect Natural Recovery Potion to barely increase his health points.

-2,478! (Critical Hit)

Swoosh!

Lin Jie’s health points dropped all the way until he was left with only 13!
