Chapter 134
Suddenly, a loud bang echoes through the ship. ๐ง๐โฏโฏ๐คโฏ๐ฃ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ทโฏ๐ญ.๐๐ฐ๐
The priests and sisters on board begin to scramble.
The ship lurches once more, and a stream of water pours overhead.
โGah!โ
โEveryone, hold on to the railing!โ f(r)eeweb(n)ovel
Weโve just entered the waters of Jeju Island and theyโre bombarding us.
Itโs a good thing the ship is low, but if it was any higher or bigger, it would definitely be hit.
โSister Maria, are you injured?โ
โYes? Oh, yes. No, Iโm fine, itโs the children, not me, we need to evacuate them.โ
โItโs okay here, go ahead, thatโs what I came here for in the first place.โ
Sister Mariaโs eyes widen as I pull the Tommy out of the cube.
โโฆโฆthat?โ
โWell, Iโm a hit man for Corleone.โ
โPlease, Mr. Cloud.โ
With that, I let Sister Maria inside first, then walked toward where I think the shell came from.
Boom, boom, boomโโโโโ
I could feel the fear of the priests around me just by the sound of the shipโs bell.
It wasnโt the priests who were the problem, it was the sound.
โIf it can cause such a sound effect, it must be a ghost ship.โ
There were certainly some ships in this world that had special effects, and if they were using effects related to fear, ghost ships were the most likely.
Indeed.
Giggle, giggle, giggle, giggle.
Gradually, the new model of the other ship began to appear.
โPrepare for battle!โ
Father John shouted, and at the same time, a yellowish barrier began to surround the entire ship.
These are the members of the Halla Cathedral, one of the major forces in Jeju Island.
The priests and sisters, who began to hold their positions in unison despite the sudden attack, raise their weapons and point them at the slowly approaching ghost ship.
But
โโฆโฆYouโre having a hard time.โ
I slowly walked past them and turned to face the direction of the ghost ship.
After focusing my aura,
-Boom!
I accelerated and jumped onto the deck of the ghost ship.
โHuh? Huh, Cloud?!โ
The sight of me startled Father John, but it was better than taking a lot of casualties.
As I landed on the deck of the ghost ship, I could feel dozens of eyes on me at once.
โThe โฆโฆpriests are crawling up here?โ
โHuh? Heโs not wearing priestsโ robes?โ
โIf heโs not in priestly robes, why is he crawling out of that ship?โ
Magic and aura reverberations could be felt from every single one of them.
Thanks to Kwak Chun-sikโs training, my ability to sense auras had already surpassed that of Academy students.
It was no longer difficult to distinguish between the Awakened and the unawakened.
โYou guys, what are you doing interrupting our event?โ
โWhat?โ
One of the pirates frowned as if he didnโt see the point of my question.
โIf you guys are operating out of Jeju Island, you should have some idea whose ship this is, but you still believe that youโre doing thisโฆโฆ?โ
โWhat the fuck is he talking about, kill him and take his gun!โ
These kids canโt even read their opponents.
I canโt be bothered to explain to them, so I point my Tommy gun forward and pull the trigger to show them the difference in class.
โ!/ โ!/ โ!/ โ!/ โ!/ โ!/ โ!/ โ!/ โ!/ โ!/ โ!/ โ!
โCrazy, crazy! Take cover!โ
โReturn fire! Return fire!โ
I squeezed the trigger in the direction theyโd gathered.
The other guys quickly draw their guns and start pulling the triggers in my direction as they watch their teammates get torn apart.
Tsk. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Thud. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Well, thereโs no way their weapons were going to penetrate DisPater.
โGuns donโt work.โ
โThrow magic, bombs, whatever, you idiots!โ
One by one, they start to panic at the sight of me standing there, unharmed, under a baptism of bullets, and some of them start to back away.
I could use the Tommy to wipe out the rest of them, but I donโt want to have toโฆโฆsearch every inch of the ship.
The constant barrage of bullets and the aftermath of explosions interrupt my thoughts, so I duck behind some nearby cargo for cover.
โA ghost ship at this time of night, thereโs got to be something.โ
-Thud. Thud.
As they panic, I absorb the fear in the air and organize my thoughts.
Did any factions I knew of use ghost ships?
Off the top of my head, no.
Ghost ships werenโt in my memory, but it was clear what that meant.
โThey must be mercenaries paid by someone.โ
Mercenaries paid by someone to raid us.
โYou guys were paid by someone to raid us?โ
I can actually feel their bodies twitch at the sound of my own voice.
โWhat the hellโโโ
โโฆโฆYou guys are real amateurs, seeing as how you canโt even manage facial expressions. Well, I have a guess, so I donโt bother asking.โ
I tap the deck with my shoe.
Now that Iโve gotten everything out of the way, I might as well clean it up.
After all, itโs easier to sweep it all up in one go, right?
I slowly begin to load the aura into my shoes.
This is no ordinary pair of shoes, but a pair of black shoes given to me by the Academy Dean.
Due to the nature of artifacts, they can hold more aura than ordinary objects, so I can use them this way.
โLetโs make this quick.โ
If I had released my power normally, I would have simply punctured a hole, but I stomped my foot and spread the aura as wide as I could, enveloping the entire ghost ship.
โWhat are you looking at, kill him now!โ
โAttack! Attack!โ
โItโs too late for that.โ
Wooshโโ wooshโโ wooshโโ!
The ghost ship makes a strange noise and slowly begins to twist and turn.
โThe Ghost Ship is a great badge, immune to physical attacks, fast, and self-repairing, but itโs weak against magic and aura attacks.โ
This is why most nations and guilds donโt use ghost ships.
For every advantage, thereโs a disadvantage and a weakness.
โIf youโre a pirate, you should be able to swim, right?โ
At that moment,
-Kaaaahhhh!!!
I let go of the aura Iโve collected and it starts running around the deck like crazy.
โThe ship, the ship!โ
โGet out of here!!!โ
โLifeboats, where are the lifeboats!โ
Suddenly, the hull shakes violently, like a gazelle letting out its final gasp before being bitten in the neck by a lion.
โWe were told there was no bishop class! What the hell is that thing?โ
โHold me, hold my hand!โ
In an instant, the ghost ship has become a crucible of chaos.
This was only possible because the keel was the area I had focused my aura attacks on.
โCaptain, what should we do?โ
โCalm down, you stupid bastards, have you forgotten that our ship is a ghost ship, and it can barely take an attack like this?โ
The ship splits in half and the man who had just been called the captain is sucked downward, while the other sailors cling to the railing to not fall off the tilting ship.
โI hear the waters of Jeju Island are home to many strange monsters, so if you want to live, swim to shore.โ
At the same time, an achievement window appears in front of me.
[Hidden Achievement!]
[Achievement: โEXORCISTโ!]
[You have succeeded in defeating a large undead in front of numerous religious people!]
[Priests and nuns are horrified by your hostility towards the undead!]
[You receive a special reward!]
[Those with divine powers favor you!]
โOh.โ
Iโve never sunk a ghost ship in front of religious people, so I didnโt realize that, but ghost ships are considered undead.
What a win-win.
I returned to the deck, still buoyed by my unexpected harvest, to be greeted by open-mouthed priests and sisters.
โโฆโฆis there a problem?โ
I ask Priest John, standing at the front, scattering holy power, and he quickly shakes his head and waves his hands in the air.
โAh, no, nothing, itโs justโฆโฆthat the Hitmen of Corleone are indeed strong.โ
โAahโฆโฆ.โ
โฆโฆWas that too much?
Well, whatever. This is not even my real face.
โYou can just assume Iโm special among them. By the way, how far is it to land?โ
โThereโs nothing in the way, so it shouldnโt be long now.โ
โI see.โ
Well, Iโll wait outside for a while.
After playing a little before we arrived, I felt my stiff body loosen up a bit.
โAfter all, people need to move around a bit.โ
* * *
โWeโre almost there, I hope youโre all ready!โ
At the signal of the priestโs voice, the ship began to glow brightly.
Sister Mary summoned her holy power to dispel the surrounding sea mist, signaling their arrival to those on land.
On the other side of the fog, a bright light began to appear.
At first, I thought it was a lighthouse, but for some reason, as I got closer, I realized that it was lower than I thought.
It wasnโt until I was much closer to the island that I realized what the light was.
-KEEEEEEEEKโโโโ!
-Keeeeeeeeeeee!
It was a group of priests being attacked by black golems with holes in them and the light was coming from the body of one of the nuns there.
โIt must be Jeju Island. This place is going crazy as soon as I get here.โ
SeriouslyโฆโฆI need to get everything done this weekend to get back to the academy.
โLetโs dock the ship and help the support team out of the church. Weโll unload later!โ
Before pulling into the harbor I approach the priest, who is gathering people together and pre-planning the action below, and speak to him first.
โFather.โ
โYes, Brother Cloud?โ
โWhy donโt you unload your luggage first, and Iโll help you below.โ
โWhat? Oh, no matter whatโฆโฆ.โ
โThree minutes.โ
I took [Al Caponeโs Tommy] out of the cube and held it in my hand.
โThree minutes.โ
These are the people who saw me crush the pirate ship with their own two eyes a moment ago.
โThree minutes, you must be exhausted from dealing with the piratesโโโ
โYou mean me?โ
Hearing my words, he once again scanned my body.
There wasnโt a drop of sweat on my face despite being in a suit on the humid sea.
โWhy donโt you go ahead and get your luggage and the kids off safely, and Iโll take care of that.โ
โAhโฆโฆ yes.โ
At my words, Father John could only nod.
As the bridge lowered from the ship, I grabbed Tommy and jumped into the gap between the golems.
-Thud!
โThis is Jeju Island after all, to be greeted by such a mob right from the start.โ
I guess this is why itโs called the Demonic Lands.
Well, itโs not like I wasnโt prepared, I thought something like this would happenโฆโฆ.
Letโs finish this as quickly as possible.
