BXBX NOVEL 278 Chapter 278
He used the ship’s voice amplifier to send a warning to the pirates.
“Burchard is smart. Now we can negotiate with the pirates.”
A gigantic ballista bolt from the pirates’ mothership penetrated through the barrier and directly headed to Aldred.
“Oh hell, no!” Aldred jumped to the side as the bolt penetrated the steel floor for half a meter.
He stood up and saw the giant steel bolt produce a cloud of smoke and it was hot red from its only impact. The bolt was four times his height, and it seemed to be enchanted with a penetrator as well.
“The negotiation ended before it even started. These pirates are too much!”
Stella approached the steel bolt and touched it. “Let the stars return this bolt to its owner.”
Star particles twinkled around the bolt, pulling it out of the steel floor and then throwing it back to where it came from.
“Great, now my ship has a giant hole on it.”
“I can fix that. Short Rewind!”
The floor was covered with twinkling light, and when it disappeared, the floor was back to its normal state.
“Wow! What a nice spell. Seems like you can almost do anything with your power.”
“If you live for more than a thousand years, you can’t help but learn a thing or two.”
“I am glad you did. Anyway, we have to do something against these pirates. They’re not going to make a hole in my ship again and get away with it.”
“What are you going to do?”
Aldred grinned. “Let me speak to Burchard first.”
“Yes, my Lord?”
“When can you start attacking?”
“The enemy is still bombarding us, my Lord. If I attack, the barrier will go down, and our ships will surely get hit.”
“So if I disrupt their attacks, you can shoot back at them.”
“I cannot see how that situation will be possible currently, but yes.”
Aldred put the communication orb in his pocket. “Stella, can you teleport me inside that mothership?”
“Teleporting you there is impossible.”
Aldred clicked his tongue. “My teleporter golems also cannot teleport me that far. Is there any other way I can reach their mothership?”
“There is a way,” Stella said.
…
“AHH!” Aldred zipped past a large cannon shell as he flew near the water. Wrapping around his body were bright star particles that accelerated him faster than Mach 3. This kind of speed will let him reach the mothership, but on the other hand, he had to manually dodge the cannon shells that went toward him.
One shell went towards him diagonally, and he flew down to dodge it. But it exploded in mid-air and sent hot shrapnels at him.
Luckily, he was so fast that those shrapnels couldn’t even reach his skin.
Even so, the idea that 0,7-meter shells exploding right in front of his face was a scary thought.
He tried to shoot the shells with his fire bullet, but the speed of his fire bullets was much slower than his own speed. This made the fire bullets come back right at his face.
So, dodging was the only thing he could do.
When he was near, smaller rapid-firing cannons started raining him with bolts.
He performed a loop-de-loop and landed on one of the motherships.
The pirates were shocked to see him on board. They pulled their weapon out and charged at him.
“No greetings? This is surprising.”
Aldred summoned three of his clones, and all of them wreaked havoc on the ship. He went to their cannon room which was protected by a lot of pirates, but he killed them all with his flame spell.
The whole hallway was ablaze in the shape of a sea serpent and it engulfed everything it passed through.
When he kicked the steel door, it didn’t budge at all.
“As expected of a mothership. Everything here is indestructible. But I am not running out of ideas yet.”
Aldred put his finger inside the keyhole and through his finger, he spewed out a jet of flames that burnt everyone inside the cannon room.
“Ahh! Let me out! Let me out of here!”
The pirates banged on the steel door numerous times as they tried to get out, but they couldn’t even reach the door before their entire bodies turned into charcoal.
“That’s one cannon eliminated. We still have eleven more. Spread out and destroy them all!”
His three clones spread in different directions and killed all the pirates they saw while trying to find all the big cannon’s room.
He also tried to find one, and after he killed a bunch of pirates, he found his target. This time he wanted to do something different, so he morphed into a small insect, slipped through the keyhole, and morphed back into human form when he was inside the cannon room.
The pirates shook when they saw him appear out of thin air.
“Who are you?”
“Death!” His whole body burst out flames in every direction which burnt all the pirates inside.
Aldred then steered the gigantic cannon, pointed it at the pirate’s mothership and he pressed a lever that fired the shell.
BOOM!
The recoil threw Aldred to the wall, but he saw with clear sight the shell slammed against the pirate’s mothership and exploded one of its cannons.
“Hahaha! Take that, sucker!”
The door slammed open and twelve pirates were glaring at him.
“Kill that man!”
Aldred stoop and straight-up mauled these pirates. None of them survived his attacks.
As he steered the cannon again, more and more guards came after him.
“Rise my undead legion! Protect me while I do my business!”
More than 176 undead appeared and wreaked havoc on the hallway.
Aldred smiled as he aimed at the pirate’s other mothership. “Let’s see if I can get a good shot this time.”
