Chapter 258 – Carleya

#258.

“What the fuck is this?”

Blowing a river on the topic of pirates? This was a scenario I hadn’t seen in months. Of course, it wasn’t that there weren’t any pirates who had reached the level of 7 stars, but it was a bit unexpected.

As I was about to stand still, slightly perplexed, a large man appeared as a player and shouted loudly:

“I don’t know who came from, but let’s go back! Traffic here is prohibited from now on!”

Is this kid crazy?

That was the first thought I had. As a result of looking at it, it is expected that it is the person who just blew the strong energy when it was inferred through the amount of aura.

Of course, if it was a 7-star level, it would be natural to stretch out as a pirate, but now I was in a state of looking down at them from below as I roamed the air relying on a single sword.

Of course, he must have been aware of my status to some extent, but I didn’t understand why he came out confidently like that.

Tilt your head and look down quietly. The guy spoke

“I know you’re confident in your strength, but you’d better just go back calmly! Behind me-“

Chew!

Without waiting for his words, I immediately lowered my sword.

I hear it, but it must mean that there is some force behind the mana. But what? I can’t go back like this I couldn’t let the boredom of a month go in vain by leaving everything else.

So I cut off one arm with the thought of subduing it.

Neither side intends to yield, so conflict is inevitable. If that’s the case, we’ll have to catch him and get some information. As you can see, he’s only an intermediate level at best. The guy at the top of the pyramid had no idea how strong he would be.

Maybe it was at a level where I couldn’t guarantee a match, so collecting information was essential.

He glared at me savagely and poured out threatening comments.

“Ouch! How dare you attack despite warnings… I will not stand still in ‘Emperor Japan’ and its affiliate ‘Samuhae’!”

‘Work under the sun… ‘

It was a name I had heard many times.

He held onto his severed arm, uttered threatening remarks, and gave orders to the pirates.

“Everyone fire!! Retreat at full speed!”

Run after run—!

The Kingdom of Carleya is a country where cold weapons have been developed. Since battles at sea were the main focus, they began to study ways to harm the enemy from a distance, and as a result, they achieved about 18th century technology.

In the first place, since the first king of the Kingdom of Carlella was said to have been called the Archer of Magic, he knew the history.

Kaga gaga gaga river!

All bullets can be deflected by just wrapping around the body. But… Just in case, I focused my mind and formed an aura in the air.

From behind, round spheres of aura formed as if a mandarin were unfolding, and sword-shaped sword-shaped swords ricocheted out, deflecting bullets.

Downstairs was very busy. Among them, only those who were good at shooting guns were left, and the rest seemed to have gone rowing. Unlike before, empty seats were created here and there on the deck in real time.

Soon, as I expected, the ship started moving at a fairly high speed.

But how fast would it be if the ship was fast? From my point of view, it moved away from me slowly enough to yawn for about 10 minutes, but generally quickly.

You can let me go like this, but I can’t tolerate even the slightest variable. If I went to catch the pirates while taking my time like this and went to catch him, only traces of the space movement that had already been activated and cooled down would go crazy.

After confirming that they had no weapon to harm me, I fired the swords that were paring the bullets at once.

Kwakwagwagwang!

─Quaaaaagh!
─Avoid! Avoid dear!!

My detection field had already covered their entire ship. I kept an eye on the movement of the target, the one-armed bastard, and slaughter the pirates by controlling them so that they would not die by being stabbed with a blind sword.

People died like ants. As if I were looking at my prey from the perspective of a predator at the top of the food chain, I reduced their number indifferently, but with a feeling that was less boring than usual.

Fu-wook! The sword that pierced one man’s belly suddenly changes its trajectory, bends sideways, and slashes the other’s head. The guy whose stomach was pierced had his side ripped off by the reaction and lay down coldly with his intestines spilling out.

It was happening simultaneously in all directions. Dozens of swords perpetrated the massacre in that way, so it did not take even an hour for them to be slaughtered.

The one-armed bastard was bound by the chains of the strong spirit that I had formed and flew through the sky before me.

“Keugh! Do you think you can do something like this!? I will not stand still in the Emperor of Japan and the Samaritan Sea!”
“That’s for later. What is the reason for the curfew?”
“Do you think I would say that! Kill!”
“It’s gooey. Not wanting to die.”

It says kill, but if you really want to die, you can bite your tongue yourself. Of course, there is an even simpler way than that.

It is to intentionally run out of mana. Then, the regurgitated aura will destroy the whole body and lead to an unstoppable death.

It’s because I don’t want to die. You don’t have the courage to die. It’s fair to say that a guy like that would kill him.

When I didn’t believe it at all, he struggled to break free from his restraints.

“Stay quiet.”

Wow!

As long as my life is good enough to spit out information, I hit him on the jaw without hesitation and knocked him out.

It was a great blow through exquisite power control that did not interfere with talking.

As I lifted him up and got off the cruise ship, Bandani approached me with a serious expression. I guess I felt something out of the ordinary.

“Sir Tru. You are here. But he…”

The one-armed man hanging in the air seems to be bothered. He seemed puzzled when I, who usually annihilated him without mercy, came back to save his opponent.

“Ah, it looks like this guy has a back stomach. They say it’s Japanese and it’s business, but do you know?”

If a 7-star bug threatens me as a 9-star, it’s likely that they’re a very famous force. So, when I asked if he knew, the captain looked in astonishment and asked back.

“No! Did you say emperor!?”
“Yes. Is it a dangerous place?”
“Huh… Why…”

In response to my question, the captain was just worried with a serious expression.

Certainly, at this level, it seems that these guys are doing a good job here. To see someone who just a moment ago had a grin about wiping out pirates is doing this.

“You know?”
“Hmm… That’s right. Samuhai are quite famous pirates. There is no way to catch it in Carleya, so we are letting it play under tacit conditions.”

Samhae is said to be a pirate that boasts a mighty force in the nearby sea. It is said that they competed with each other in the past, but now they have formed an alliance centered on Emperor Japan.

In fact, in the case of the emperor, it is said that it is almost treated as a legend. There is nothing official about it, but since there are no witnesses, half of it is dismissed as false rumors.

However, it is quite unexpected that the names of Emperor Il and Samhae were mentioned, even though they are not even among Samhae executives.

In addition, in the case of the office year so far, he stopped at the level of properly collecting the toll tax, but it was a serious situation to the extent of prohibiting traffic altogether.

Anyway, one thing is important now.

That’s right…

‘It means we can’t go quietly.’

There were still about 15 days left until Carleya. During that time, it is said that they have to move forward while being attacked by pirates, but it is questionable whether the captain will make such a decision.

In fact, it was prudent to take some damage and turn the ship around here. It is not possible to gamble and lose everything.

Of course, from my point of view, that would never happen. I’ve already wasted a lot of time, but I can’t go back without results. So, you have to convince the captain.

“Captain. If we go back here, the loss will not be the only one. Let’s keep going.”
“But…”
“In fact, isn’t it very unusual for a pirate ship to disappear from the sea? He’s only at the bottom level anyway, so the chase won’t be fast enough.”

My words were not completely wrong. I don’t know how good their ability to gather information is, but if a low-end pirate ship disappears, even an executive in a place like that wouldn’t step forward.

It was a swordsman who even used strong skills for a low-end, but that’s the case anyway. The important thing was not the truth, but the captain’s understanding of my words.

The captain, who had been thinking for a long time after hearing that, sighed and opened his mouth.

“First of all, I think we need to share our opinions with the passengers. How would you like to go with me?”
“No. I’m going to get some information from this guy. Do you have a place to interrogate?”
“… Yes. I will send a sailor to guide you.”
“Thank you.”

First of all, the captain’s persuasion was successful. I hope there are no cowards among the nobles.

I was separated from the captain and guided by the crew to a room on the ship. I glanced at the sailor who was walking away while saying hello and went into the room.

“Here… Is it a place where meat is trimmed?”

Heading inside, I saw a wide cutting board and many kitchen knives hanging on the wall. The young red blood on the chopping board and knives creates an eerie feeling. It may not be a person, but how many lives have passed here.

I mourned him and put the one-armed man on the cutting board. Of course, the limbs were tightly bound.

I didn’t want to see him fall asleep without knowing the world. I was looking at Bianca’s pretty face just a month ago, but now why am I looking at a black boy’s face?

For no reason, my anger and emotions rose up from the inside, and I slapped the guy in the stomach rather roughly.

Fuck!

“Kwaaaaa!!”

The blow loaded with the aura stimulated the mana rod and awakened his mind. It seemed quite painful to see him struggling with the sound of picking a pig.

“Quiet. If you don’t want to get hit again.”
“Quaaaaa!!”

It is also the law to play as it is. Seeing the guy who didn’t listen to him, he kindly held his hand and pulled out his fingernails.

“Aagh! My hand! Come on!”
“Quiet. Unless you want to fall behind.”
“Oh! Whoa! Why, why are you doing this! What did I do wrong!”
“There is no reflection.”

How can you not know my fault after pouring attacks on me like that? It was a much more vicious baby than I thought. He was a man who did not know how precious human life was. Looks like you need a correction.

I left the squawking pig behind me and stood in front of the knives hanging on the wall.

“What would you like…”

My keen senses allow me to analyze its vital activity in great detail. So no need to worry about accidentally killing it. After thinking about it, I finally chose sashimi.

If you slice thinly from the tip of your toe to the millimeter unit, you will eventually reveal all the information. In the past, I think it was a good idea to let the Hughers know.

I started slowly approaching the guy whose face hardened from his screams.
