Chapter 162
Chapter 162: Huh? We’re Not Pirates? (1)
By the time Hanalin finished dealing with Kaelus, Dohyun and Jiyuchan had already dispatched the other four. Subduing opponents whose primary techniques were sealed was child’s play.
One might have thought the Dohyun Party would fail to appreciate their growth, given how effortlessly they’d crushed the Stream Reaper Pirate Crew, but the opposite proved true.
“My abilities have improved considerably.”
“Mine too.”
As Jiyuchan spoke, Hanalin suddenly flew over and nodded in agreement beside him. Dohyun likewise acknowledged both of them.
The moment we could properly wield martial arts, we became capable of defeating the Stream Reaper Pirate Crew, whose stats had skyrocketed through Atavism. Jiyuchan’s growth in particular was remarkable—far exceeding Hanalin’s.
Originally, Hanalin had been slightly stronger than Jiyuchan, but now they were nearly equal—or rather, Jiyuchan held a slight edge. Hanalin seemed aware of this, her expression tinged with disappointment, though she didn’t appear overly concerned now that they were on the same team.
“Whew, I need to study more.”
Or not?
Hearing Hanalin’s quiet murmur, Dohyun pretended not to notice and examined what they’d obtained. With the battle concluded, it was time to assess the spoils.
Dohyun grinned as he surveyed their gains.
First, the Points from defeating the pirates were substantial.
[You have defeated a Villain and acquired the Points they possessed.]
[Points are distributed according to Party Members’ contribution.]
[You acquire a total of 581,394P.]
‘Wow.’
I couldn’t believe the distributed Points exceeded 500,000—nearly 600,000. While pirates could certainly yield such rewards, even accounting for my high contribution, the figure was staggering.
When I discreetly used Analysis to check Hanalin and Jiyuchan’s Points, I was astounded to see both of them carrying over 300,000 each.
‘These pirates are a goldmine!’
I swallowed hard at the thought.
With this Point acquisition, my total Points had reached a level that would be difficult to accumulate in a C-Rank Area.
『Stats』
▶「Strength: 79▶80」
▶「Agility: 79▶80」
▶「Stamina: 79▶80」
▶「Mana: 81▶83」
『Points』
▶「P: 1,772,992」
▶「AP: 70,370」
My stats even increased afterward, allowing all my abilities to reach 80.
Both Jiyuchan and Hanalin had their primary stats—Strength and Mana—surpass 80, that magical threshold, and their Points approached 1 million each. Our single Party was so wealthy that I doubted any other Party could match our total Points.
As for Points, that was enough. I quickly examined the next spoils. Though Hanalin and Jiyuchan had gathered them, the weapons and armor from the dead Stream Reaper Pirate Crew members weren’t particularly useful. They didn’t even have a spatial pouch.
Though disappointing, I figured they’d fetch a decent price if sold, so I placed them in my spatial pouch.
Normally, spoils of this caliber would have disappointed me greatly, but instead, I wore a satisfied smile as I gazed up at the massive Ship anchored here, its anchor raised.
“I wonder how much this is worth?”
As I thought this and activated Analysis, the system revealed information that hadn’t been visible before.
『Medium-sized Ship』
▶「A medium-sized Ship occasionally encountered in C-Rank Zones.」
▶「It is significantly faster than ordinary running and can be used both underwater and on the surface.」
▶「Currently modified as a Pirate Ship, it possesses a plunder radar.」
▶「It is owned by the Dohyun Party.」
▶「At current market rates, a medium-sized Ship costs 5,000,000P.」
‘Insane.’
Seeing the price of a medium-sized Ship, which could be called the main dish, I couldn’t help but grin. How could I not laugh at a vessel worth five million points?
Above all, there were still eighteen days remaining to reach the Treasure Map Location, but if the Ship was much faster, I could drastically shorten that time. And then.
‘I could sell it for five million points afterward!’
It might lose some value as a used item, but I could still earn hundreds of thousands of points, so I couldn’t suppress my laughter. Still, seeing is believing, right? So I boarded the Ship first to examine it.
With a plunder radar on board, it would be quite useful for finding something precious. After reaching the Treasure Map Location, if my growth plateaus afterward, I could always search for other valuables—wouldn’t that be excellent?
Thinking this way, I wondered how to operate it, but it turned out to be easier than expected.
“It runs on magic, doesn’t it?”
“Yeah, if you know how to use mana manipulation, you should be able to handle it. Jiyuchan should be able to do it too, right?”
“Of course.”
Since anyone capable of mana manipulation could operate it, it wasn’t particularly important for the Dohyun Party.
I chuckled and was about to take the controls myself, but Hanalin stopped me.
“Dohyun, you need to be ready for unexpected situations, so it’s better if I pilot it.”
“Hmm, I suppose.”
Though I was a bit disappointed, Hanalin’s reasoning was sound, so I reluctantly nodded in agreement.
As I stood there looking somewhat regretful, Jiyuchan, equally excited about the voyage, asked while looking at Hanalin.
“What should I do then?”
Jiyuchan appeared noticeably excited—his usual manner of speech was distinctly different from his normal tone. Seeing him like this, Hanalin said.
“Could you raise the anchor for me?”
“Ah.”
It seemed like a chore, but it was necessary work. As Jiyuchan raised the anchor, Hanalin quickly adapted to piloting and was able to lift the Ship smoothly into the air.
Though it might have been clumsy at first, treating it as a form of magic, Hanalin soon became accustomed to it and lifted the Ship into the Airspace.
Originally, the Dohyun Party moved by running across the Ground, but the Ship was entirely different.
It soared perfectly through the sky, maintaining considerable distance from the earth, and surged forward as if riding a current with tremendous force.
Even without wind or unfurled sails, the Ship cut through the water at considerable speed, shooting forward like an arrow, leaving all of us astonished.
“Wow, it’s incredibly fast!”
“U-um, it seems three times faster than our running speed?”
“Exactly.”
Responding to Hanalin’s words, Jiyuchan even stammered his reply, and I could only nod in amazement. This changes everything.
To the Treasure Map Location.
‘It shouldn’t take more than a week? Or rather, since the Ship doesn’t need rest, could we arrive in four days?’
Unlike before when I had to run directly, when sailing in the Airspace, there was no need to man the helm, so I could continue moving while training or resting on deck—it would be much faster than before. And I could even eat while moving.
As I nodded with considerable satisfaction and smiled contentedly, Hanalin and Jiyuchan wore similarly pleased expressions.
Everyone could be satisfied with the increased convenience beyond just faster arrival. Just as we were all content, Hanalin asked with a hint of curiosity.
“But if it could fly like this, why was it traveling on the Ground?”
“Hmm? That’s a good question.”
When Jiyuchan responded to Hanalin’s words with a puzzled expression, Analysis automatically provided Dohyun with the answer.
[The previous owner was a pirate crew, so they were wanted and had difficulty moving freely above.]
Seeing this, Dohyun answered naturally.
“Well, since they’re pirates, there’s a lot to feel guilty about… Wait, what?”
As Dohyun spoke, he noticed something strange and lifted his head.
He had been excited to obtain the Ship and immediately set it in motion, but there was one fact he had overlooked. As Dohyun raised his head, he could see a feline skull flag plastered right there.
Thinking he might be misunderstood, Dohyun quickly moved to tear down the flag, and even used the Eternal Flame Extinguishing Technique to burn it, but unfortunately the Stream Reaper Pirate Crew had such an inflated ego that those damned bastards had dyed the entire sail black and drawn a skull emblem on it.
Just as he was wondering whether he should burn this too, another Ship came into view from where Dohyun stood on the mast.
And then.
-Stream Reaper Pirate Crew!!! Surrender at once!!!
Dohyun squeezed his eyes shut at the dialogue that matched his expectations perfectly.
Less than an hour had passed since he seized the Ship, and already he was encountering pursuers. Still, he thought that if he showed them it wasn’t the Stream Reaper Pirate Crew, the misunderstanding would be cleared up. Just as Dohyun was about to shout something.
Not long after the enemy Ship issued its warning, cannons began to emerge, and the extended barrels started turning toward Dohyun’s Ship.
The number of concentrated cannon barrels reached a total of eight, and then a voice came from the enemy Ship.
-You won’t surrender! Open fire!!!
Along with those words, explosive sounds erupted.
Boom boom boom boom boom!!!
Cannonballs shot forth with fire bursting from all eight barrels. Of course, they weren’t ordinary cannonballs. They were cannonballs coated with magic and various skills. Dohyun sighed and shook his head.
‘We’re not pirates.’
As he thought this, he suddenly recalled killing pirates, obtaining their Ship, and catching other villains to earn points and resources. Dohyun tilted his head and muttered to himself.
‘Wait, am I?’
Just as Dohyun, with his keen sense of self-awareness, was thinking this, Hanalin deployed magic to block the cannonballs, and not satisfied with that, Jiyuchan stepped forward and used the Golden Sword’s first technique to deflect the cannonballs while shouting.
“Dohyun, what are you doing!!”
“Come out quick!!!”
As Hanalin and Jiyuchan spoke, Dohyun realized with an “oh” expression and nodded in agreement, then raised his momentum and muttered.
“At least I should get compensation for being attacked, right?”
Muttering this way, without realizing how much like a real pirate he sounded, Dohyun began to move as he watched the incoming cannonballs.
Crimson flames burst forth from Underwater, shining brilliantly as they flew in. As Dohyun drew a crimson line through Midair, more cannonballs were fired from the enemy Ship.
Boom boom boom boom!!!
The power of the cannonballs coming with fierce currents was barely something Hanalin and Jiyuchan could block, but Dohyun, who had unleashed the Eternal Flame, began to use his technique as he watched those cannonballs.
Massive flames engulfed Dohyun, and in that moment, the flames spread outward in all directions.
Eternal Flame Extinguishing Technique
Fifth Technique: Crimson Flame Collapse Tremor
In that instant, the entire area was dyed crimson.
