Blood-Anchor blinked his eyes, seemingly in disbelief of what he had witnessed. Bellowing furiously, he lugged the chain of his gigantic anchor again; attempting to ram forth his weapon once again!
Yet since Sheyan had attained a basic understanding of Blood-Anchor’s flaw, why would he offer him that chance? With a whistling scream, Sheyan had already stampeded into his face like a barbaric bull. Slashing down ferociously with his saber, sorrowful blue rays poured down like a waterfall; threatening to slash his foe’s spirit and vision into two with one stroke!
Nevertheless, Blood-Anchor was distinctly clear his long attacking intervals could be easily exploited as a weakness. At the instant Sheyan’s saber swung forth, two of Blood-Anchor’s trusted pirate confidants had abruptly snatched forward. Breathing deeply as they tore forward, the bulky bodies of those two pirate confidants swelled by a third of its current state.
As they watched Sheyan’s descending sorrowful slash, the two confidants snarled furiously; their tattered clothes ripping from the dramatic swelling of their muscles. Concurrently, they waved their jetblack double-edged hatchet upwards to block Sheyan’s incoming saber!
Sparks scattered as metal fragments intercrossed! Boiling blood splattering in all directions!!!
An explosive strike!
Though Sheyan’s weapon wasn’t of an excellent grade, it was nevertheless recognized as a powerful weapon of the realm. Besides, it had been enhanced to a +7 stage.
In contrast, the two pirates wielded ordinary weapons!
This innate supremacy manifested instantaneously.
Of the two pirate confidants, one released a blood-curdling scream as he slumped to the ground within a second, with his blood and innards gushing out wildly. Not only did Sheyan’s slash split apart his double-edged hatchet, it even chopped him squarely in the middle!!!
Though the other pirate managed to preserve his double-edged hatchet, he was presently staring blankly and lifelessly on the spot while maintaining his hatchet to block Sheyan. When someone nudged him, he directly slumped down dispiritedly into a pool of mud.
To them, Sheyan’s entire 49 points of strength was the maximum heights they could strive for. Hence, when a ridiculously exorbitant force impacted against his double-edged hatchet, tremors of energy came pouring through; shattering his shoulder blades before terrorizing his body with unwavering might, as it shook him to death on the spot!
Of course, a primary reason for their instant death, was due to them having experienced consecutive gruelling battles beforehand. Thus, the HP of both pirates were far from full. If they were at their optimal state, it would be impossible for Sheyan to achieve such results!
Still, Sheyan’s present agility had reached 40 points*, and his movement speed was pretty decent. Though his slash was blocked, he immediately executed a forward roll as he charged relentless pursuit of Blood-Anchor. Then, he hastily slashed forth with his saber once again!
(TN: 20 pure agility + Barbarous armour (2) + Gene-mix (4) + Monstrous Fighting Spirit (2) + Ambition (2) + Matrix necklace (6) + random ring from ch8 of this vol (2) = 38 points. I tried searching for the final 2 points, but apparently I must’ve missed it out my bad. Oh well)
The might of his slash was lethal, sending a dark-bluish brilliance swiping in tight pursuit of the fleeing Blood-Anchor. Boom! It cleanly sliced the besiding cabin into two, as splinters soared dozens of metre high within the shattered divide; splashing sporadically into the sea. Even a pirate standing nearby the edge was thoroughly drenched from the splashes.
However, that pirate refused to release a single curse, for fear that the softest of sound would incur the wrath of that terrifying deadly saber!
Blood-Anchor had long abandoned his weapon while he sprinting frantically. Panting with large breaths, his eyes brimmed with horror and despair. In reality, the most brutal of characters would in turn, be the individuals who cherished their lives the most! Due to witnessing frequent broadcasts of death, the horror of dying had been profoundly engraved within them.
After Sheyan withstood his devastating anchor head on without perishing, Blood-Anchor immediately sensed that things were going awry. Within a split second of Sheyan rushing in to hack against his face, this brutal pirate immediately fathomed a stupendously frightening threat descending onto him. Thus, he turned to flee.
Desiring to establish his prestige here, Sheyan’s pursuit was much faster. With a vertical slice of his saber, blood shimmered out from Blood-Anchor’s back; mincing out a long wound on his back. Blood-Anchor immediately released a miserable shriek, as he pulled out a dagger from his waist and stabbed over.
Using his long saber to fend off the incoming dagger, sparks scattered as Sheyan’s retaliation had in turn, forced Blood-Anchor staggering 2-3 steps back. This time, Sheyan was fully certain that the strength of Blood-Anchor was indeed beyond his.
Yet peculiarly, when he probed Blood-Anchor’s data, it clearly displayed his strength was merely 33 points. Therefore, Sheyan could resolutely determine; the only explanation, was the enhancement of an exceptionally formidable equipment!
Although Blood-Anchor’s strength surpassed his opponent, his agility and defence were poorly lacking. Without his special ability, ‘Crewhead’s Barrier’, inflating his health by thousands of points, he would essentially be in the realms of an ordinary pirate. Such an abnormality was like Cheng Yaojin*, relying on merely a limited repertoire of skills; but once unravelled, he could only flee in panic.
(TN:*Cheng Yaojin is a chinese general that is associated with the phrase Cheng Yaojin and his three axe strokes, which refers to one who relies on the same old tricks)
