21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 583 - 579: Capturing Captain Kidd (Please Subscribe, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

The light that struck Captain Kidd's Ghost Ship was gray, and as this beam descended, a gray silhouette also plummeted from the sky.

In the hands of the figure was a Great Cross Sword as tall as a man, as if he held a Cross, and on his back were a pair of gray wings folding inward.

Lord Nelson, standing on his flagship HMS Victory commanding the fleet, watched with his remaining left eye, the figure descending from the heavens, his Great Cross Sword akin to a Cross and the wings on his back prompted him to exclaim in astonishment, "An Angel?"

At this moment, Chen Yu, who was diving from the sky, certainly did not hear Lord Nelson's cry of surprise. However, as the Underworld Feather Angel, he indeed could be known as an Angel.

In essence, the only difference between an Underworld Feather Angel and an Angel is that one symbolizes light and the other symbolizes death.

With the Great Cross Sword in his hand, he chopped down on the humanoid iron cage enveloping the Ghost Ship, and the collision between the blade and the cage produced a massive clang, pressing both the cage and the Ghost Ship within down, causing the bloody water to overflow the deck of the Ghost Ship.

The instant the bloody water flooded the deck, Jounouchi Hiromi underneath the sea noticed, and she certainly wouldn't miss the opportunity created by Chen Yu.

A pair of huge hands made of bloody water reached out from beneath the sea, grabbing the humanoid iron cage and pulling it into the water.

Even though the cage resisted the strength of the blood-colored giant hands with powerful force, Chen Yu's sword strike had clearly damaged it, not only cutting a notch into the cage but also weakening the force it harbored. As a result, the cage, which could have destroyed the bloody appendages, was now being slowly pulled into the sea by the red hands.

Facing this situation, Captain Kidd had no choice but to appear on the deck, launching an attack towards Chen Yu above the cage.

Captain Kidd looked nothing like the pirate captains people typically imagine; no parrot on his shoulder, no iron hook on his hand, and certainly lacking the handsome dashingness of Captain Jack Sparrow.

What appeared before Chen Yu... was a mummy, painted with tung oil, encased within a humanoid iron cage.

After being captured, Captain Kidd was sentenced to hanging for piracy. It took two ropes to hang him, and after his death, his body was coated with tung oil and hung in a cage by the Thames River for two years to deter other pirates, so a mummy in front of Chen Yu was not surprising.

"Indeed, your essence is still just that of a resurrected corpse!" Chen Yu let out a sigh. Standing atop the iron cage and facing Captain Kidd who launched an attack on him, Chen Yu did something very strange; he sheathed his Great Cross Sword and even concealed his true form of the Underworld Feather Angel, returning to his normal appearance, as if Captain Kidd's attack did not exist for him.

Captain Kidd was not oblivious to the danger, but by this time, more than half of the Ghost Ship under him had been pulled into the Sea of Blood. If he didn't want to be caught, the only option was to defeat Chen Yu, who had suddenly appeared, and then break free from the blood sea's hold on the Ghost Ship.

So, even aware of the potential danger, Captain Kidd still drew his Pirate Cutlass and Flintlock Pistol from his waist and launched an attack on Chen Yu.

"Bang!" Captain Kidd was the first to raise his flintlock pistol and, after firing, immediately cast it aside onto the ground, while drawing another pistol from his body to continue shooting. Amidst all this, he clenched his pirate cutlass between his teeth and grabbed a rope to swing himself onto the iron cage that loomed over the Ghost Ship.

In the era when Captain Kidd was still alive, flintlock pistols were single-shot weapons, so pirates typically carried five or six loaded pistols on them to avoid losing time reloading in the midst of battle.

Captain Kidd was no exception; in the short instant while he swung onto the iron cage, he pulled out six flintlock pistols from his person and fired them successively at Chen Yu.

However, though the lead bullets fired from the flintlock pistols carried the might of naval guns under Captain Kidd's strength, they had no effect on Chen Yu; he merely sidestepped slightly and casually waved his hand, deflecting all the bullets off course.

Naturally, Captain Kidd had anticipated this, and his emotion did not waver due to the bullets going astray. Gripping his pirate cutlass, he forcefully slashed down towards Chen Yu.

"Do you know you are no match for me and yet still struggle for that slim chance of survival? To seek life in the face of death, your performance is indeed excellent, worthy of becoming my finest Death Knight," said Chen Yu. With the palm of his hand that he had raised earlier, Chen Yu targeted Captain Kidd's body, completely ignoring his oncoming slash. With a light grasp, he had already restrained Captain Kidd.

Even though he was bound, Captain Kidd was still struggling, trying hard to break free from Chen Yu's restraints. However, the disparity in their levels made all his efforts futile. As Chen Yu's hand gradually tightened, a huge handprint appeared on the iron cage covering the Ghost Ship, and it grew deeper as Chen Yu's grip became firmer.

At the same time, the iron cage enveloping Captain Kidd began to change.

Originally, this iron cage was a gibbet meant to hold his corpse, but after his death, it became a part of his body. Kidd had transformed it into his most powerful piece of equipment and altered its shape into armor.

But under the force of Chen Yu, the power that belonged to Captain Kidd on the iron cage was being brutally stripped away, reverting it back to its initial form as the gibbet that had once confined his body.

When the iron cage on Captain Kidd completely reverted to its original state, the iron cage enveloping the Ghost Ship was completely crushed by Chen Yu, and he together with Captain Kidd lost their footing and landed on the Ghost Ship.

By now, the entire hull of the Ghost Ship was covered in a sea of blood, steadily sinking. However, with the iron cage that had covered the ship now crushed by Chen Yu and Captain Kidd captured in his grip, the resistance of the Ghost Ship was also broken, and Jounouchi Hiromi naturally released the Sea of Blood that had bound the Ghost Ship.

As Chen Yu landed on the ship, the blood that had once enveloped its hull quickly receded, allowing the Ghost Ship to surface once more.

The other Ghost Ships were not so lucky. Bound by the massive whirlpool and bombarded into fragments by the Royal Navy, they were eventually battered beyond recognition by the relentless pull of the whirlpool and all sank into its blood-red center.

As the last mast of a Ghost Ship was utterly swallowed by the blood-red whirlpool, the sanguine sea faded away. Jounouchi Hiromi leaped out from the sea, landing beside Chen Yu with a chain of miniature Ghost Ships shrunk to the size of keychains in her hand, securely bound by blood-red chains.
