Chương 645: Chapter 644: Severfang Alliance

Barb Utsa"Board!" A loud command rang out from the pirate's ships, and the pirates began to jump into our vessel. The bridges of spells formed, and pirates began to move over it. The archers and mages attacked intensely while the warriors moved to stop them, but their mages and archers provided the cover. Still, many fell or died, but most began to land on our deck and came at us.

"The captain says, this ship has the whores of the legacy. Whoever kills the most will have a chance to fuck them first!" said the thin blond man with the red cutlass in his hand as he landed on the deck. Hearing his vile words, fury erupted in my chest like wildfire—I wanted to scorch every last bastard where they stood. But I clenched my fists, forced the fire down, and held the storm back… for now. They boarded, and our people met them, including Rev, who had gone for the man with a red cutlass.

"Their number seemed to have no end," said Hen as she launched spell after spell at the pirates coming at us. She is right; the pirates keep coming. Their numbers are more than I had thought. If this kept going on, their numbers might overwhelm ours. I pushed away that worry and looked ahead at the group of five pirates coming at us.

"Boys, don't kill the whore; we will need them alive to fuck!" cautioned the leader of the group as they came at me. I looked at Hen and moved toward them with Madam's Grace and Surefooted while heavy rain crashed against me. Immediately, the arrows and spells came at me, but defensive appeared in front of me. The pirates don't seem threatened by me running at them. They are laughing.

"This bitch is drunk!" some of them shouted as they smelled the Intoxicating Fragrance. Finally, when there was only a meter distance between us, I suddenly stopped and opened my mouth, breathing out all the liquor I was holding in my mouth, activating the Power Breath and Long Breath before lighting it up with Flint. Immediately, the fire bloomed out of my mouth, widening with a Wide Blume as it moved toward the surprised pirates. Saying pirates were surprised would be an understatement.

They reacted fast, but my fire was faster, and it reached them before enveloping them. Their mage tried to interfere, but it was busy dealing with Hens Barrage.

"Ahhhhh!" The screams rang out through the whole deck as the pirates burned. They burned despite the heavy rain crashing against them and the protective spell covering them. The liquor I drank was potent and had been infused with mist. Making it even more powerful. It could affect even Grade IV spells, much less the Grade III. I moved again and appeared in front of them before decapitating the first before burying my sword in the head of the second.

I removed the sword and decapitated the third and fourth in a single strike before chasing the fifth one. He was running away madly, but I appeared behind it and buried my sword into the scum's chest. I removed it and activated the Fire Off; the bodies immediately stopped burning. It is dangerous to use fire on ships despite the enchantments and the skills that protect them. I looked around, saw the eyes on me, and saw pirates approaching me, with spells and arrows coming toward my direction.

Hen and other mages are protecting me. Still, things will be difficult. I have the kind of power that makes me get noticed in battle. It is the one I had chosen, and I learned to live with. I didn't waste any time and immediately moved toward another group. These bastards are moving toward the door. Heavy guards surround it, but they are quickly overwhelmed by the large number of pirates moving toward them. As I moved, I noticed something.

I am moving faster than I usually do, with less effort or rather less strain. It happened earlier, but I didn't notice. The skill of Madam's Grace isn't resisting as it always does. If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. It took my drunk mind a second to realize the reason, and I laughed when I did. I am Madam, and I am doing what a Madam should do: protect their charges. So, it didn't matter; I was fighting, and what matters is that I was trying to protect my charges.

It didn't happen during my first battle. I was trying to do the same, but things are different here. Like the skills, one could also take the class in a certain direction. It is much harder, but it can be done. For over a year, I worked hard to push my class toward a particular aspect. I am still an August Madam, but now it is different from what it was when I first got the class, It took a lot of effort, but it worked. I was able to move it toward protection from control.

The protection now occupies a space similar to the leadership. Whoosh! I reached close to them and breathed out, but the pirates were prepared this time, and a large Water Wall appeared before them. My fire crashed against the water wall and began to vaporize it while I released another breath of fire behind it. It passed through the wall as it vaporized. Hitting the three pirates behind it. I had practiced with my fire and understood the power of each one and also the power of the spell.

I timed my second breath; right at that moment, it vaporized the water wall. It is hard to do it with an intoxicated mind, but I had practiced it over and over till even my drunk mind could do it instinctively.

"Ahhh!" the pirates burned, and I moved to finish them. Seeing the pirates coming toward me, they stopped in their tracks. The fire was able to put fear in the hearts of these daring pirates. I am getting attacked by the spells and archers, but I am well-defended. Hen and the other mages of the team understood my fighting style and could protect me. I didn't waste a moment and breathed fire on the pirates fighting near the door.

After that, those fighting them finished them, and I moved to other pirates burning them. I am like a mage, but I can get close, and my fire is very powerful.

'Behind you!' I was in my thoughts when I was warned, and I was sloppy but fast when I saw an arrow coming toward me. Immediately, I activated the Shield Brace as I put my shield forward.

"Clang!" The arrow clashed against my shield before I turned to pirates coming at me, took advantage of the opportunity, and breathed out. They moved to avoid it, but the fire plum was wide, and the deck limited them; it covered them all. I have been constantly practicing my skills, understanding them, and pushing them beyond their limit. It is the only way to increase the strength other than level-ups.

I moved toward another group of pirates and burned them and another, killing them, but there were more, and they were still coming. I have the advantage here with the mages protecting me, but the numbers are making things difficult. Soon, nearly all the liquor in Stored Sips was gone. I immediately took the bottle and started taking fast gulps.

"Barb, watch out!" I heard the Rev's warning, filled with alarm. Even drunk, I reacted immediately and turned. Only to see the blonde man with red cutlass coming toward me. He is barely a meter away from me. It is good; I am drunk because I am now scared. Despite that, I acted fast. I released the bottle from my hand and moved my shield forward while simultaneously releasing the breath and targeting him. Whoosh! The fire moved fast, and it bloomed before swallowing the man. A relief filled me as the man was a Lv.

30; he will kill me if I let him get close to me.

"Hehe, nice fire!" I heard and saw a man coming toward me, bathing the bright fire and attacking me with his cutlass fast. Clang! Its blade crashed against my shield, and I felt the blow. It felt more like a blow from a hammer than a blade; it nearly broke my stance and made me stumble on the ship's deck. He could do that despite my having Shield Brace active and a shield with force absorption enchantment. He was still able to push me back.

He shouldn't have; he is still burning, but from his posture, it's clear that the fire isn't affecting him.

"I have to say, this is the strongest fire I have experienced," he said.

"How are you, not burning?" I couldn't help but ask. The fire affects even the Grade IV shield spell, but it doesn't seem to affect the man at all.

"Skill, of course!" he replied, attacking me again. He is fast, really fast, and his blade felt nearly invisible to my eyes. Still, I moved my shield forward with what I could see. Clang! Its blade hit it again, filling me with relief, but the next moment. I saw him appearing to my right and attacking me. The shield was too far to block it. So, I moved my sword to defend against his attack. Clang! I defended but felt his powerful blow.

The sword didn't have force absorption enchantment, nor could I use the defensive skill with it. It sent me back stumbling, and I didn't fall only because of Madam's Grace and Feather's Grace.

'Where is a Rev?' I couldn't help but ask. I am not a match for the Lv. 30, especially the one in his element. I glanced toward Rev, only to see him bogged by two pirates and a mage. They are not Lv. 30, but good enough that they had held him there.

'Fuck!' I cursed and saw the blond man appearing in front of me like a phantom once more. The fire covering him had lessened but did not go out. Now, instead of blazing, only tiny embers are covering him. I hastily put my shield forward while taking steps back, avoiding those around me who were fighting. Rip! This time, his blade was able to avoid my shield, reaching my body before cutting me. He cut me across the stomach. It's not a deep cut, but it's not shallow, either.

"Almost had you," he said with a grin and attacked. At the same time, I moved back to dodge while putting my shield forward. Clang Clang! This time, I was able to defend against it, but he came at me again, and I defended once more. His attacks are relentless; they come at me every second, and I can only defend. They are too powerful. There is no one to help. All of them are busy; Hen is trying to help me, but her spells are getting countered by the enemy mages. Rip!

He dodged my shield again, and the cutlass cut against my shoulder again.

"Hehe!" He laughed and came at me again. I defended while stepping back, but he came at me once more. He is relentless and fast. I felt like I could not do anything against him. Even my drunken state couldn't fully blunt the panic I was feeling in my heart. Clang! I defended another of his attacks, but I have reached the deck's edge this time. There is no railing to stop me and turbulent waves crashing on the ship.

"It is the end for you whore," he said and attacked. It is faster than all other attacks and stronger. Clang! I moved my shield forward on instinct, and to my surprise, I was able to defend against it. However, I nearly stumbled into the sea before stabilizing myself quickly. It relieved me, but that relief was short-lived as I saw him grinning. I was thinking about what he was planning when I saw his leg. It came like a flash, and I moved left to dodge, as it was the only direction I could move in. Bam!

I had just taken a step when I felt a hard kick across my stomach that sent me flying into the sea.
