Chapter 333 - The Blizzard Princess (1/2)
It seemed as if they were going to pierce the ship to further lock it in place. But with the size of those chains even the captain could tell that the ship wouldn't be able to handle it.
”THEY'RE GONNA SINK IT!” The captain shouted
”I think not.” Said one of the passengers.
In that instant, the giant chains of ice, evaporated.
———————————
”Looks, like the bait has finally arrived.” Said the captain of the pirate ship.
A tall muscular man with an eye patch, who surprisingly didn't have a hook for an arm. He wore a hat with the design of a white skull with serpent fangs sowed into it and carried a single sword on his waist.
He had scars all over his body, as marks from the challenges which he had overcome.
”Are ya ready everyone?! Look at the size of that ship! We're feasting tonight!” Shouted the captain
The crew who heard this then cheered as they raised their weapons.
”HELL YEAH!!!”
”LET'S TAKE EVERYTHING!”
The captain's Joy was at his peak, after all. He had something that would give them a huge advantage. It was the main trump card of tonight's event. The reason everything was flowing so perfectly.
Beside the captain, stood a humanoid ice figure. It's shape was exactly that of a human female. One which wore a robe, however the presence it gave off felt nothing like it. It gave off a strong and overwhelming presence, one which wouldn't budge.
”The A-Rank monster, Blizzard Princess.”
'To think that I could have such a powerful being on my side… Haha… Hahaha… It's all thanks to this artifact…' He muttered as he looked at the strange tool in his hand.
A simple white spherical shaped tool which held immense value.
He gave it a few kisses as their ship got closer and closer to their target's. When suddenly, he noticed six magic circles form around their target's ship.
”Hey! Careful with the ship, if it sunks that'll make this whole trip worthless!” Shouted the captain.
Despite doing so, the blizzard princess still activated the spell and ice chains extended out of the circle before quickly making their way towards the ship.
'SHIT! I Still can't properly control it-'
”STOP!” The captain shouted
In that instant, the ice chains evaporated.
The captain and the rest of the crew let out a sigh of relief as they saw this.
”Looks like It was able to listen to my command and cancel the spell at the last second…” He muttered, not realizing that had truly happened.
He then looked at the blizzard princess before giving it a smack on the back of it's head and saying. ”Don't scare me like that… You've already done enough by freezing them in the vortex. We can handle the rest. Stand back until I call for you.” Said the captain
The blizzard princess did as it was told and did not move another muscle. It only continued to propel the ship.
———————————
”Wha-What…?!”
The captain couldn't believe his eyes. They had been wide opened so he hadn't missed a single detail. Right before the chains made contact with the ship, a bright golden glow appeared and they evaporated in an instant.
'That was at least a saint-class spell if we counted all six of those circles and chains together. And yet… they were taken out in a flash!?' The captain thought to himself in disbelief.
He was confused, very confused, but he didn't have much time to think about it as the pirates had already arrived. They stopped their ship right beside the captain's ship and threw over ropes and a bridge which connected both sh.i.p.s together.
'Shit- They got here sooner than I expected, there are still a few passengers left… What's taking them so long to go inside the deck!?' The captain wondered as he looked back.
As he thought this, a loud voice came from the other ship as the rain began to pour more and more heavily.
”YOU ARE UNDER ATTACK BY PIRATES! YOU HAVE TWO OPTIONS! EITHER GIVE US ALL YOUR GOLD AND VALUABLES OR DIE!”
The captain looked over only to see that it was a tall muscular man with a strange hat who had made the statement. He was already on top of the bridge making his way towards the ship.
'That's most likely that captain… The other's of his crew seem to be waiting on his order to attack… Now's my chance-!'
The captain who had been hiding his trident. Gripped it tightly before throwing it as hard as he could at the leader of the pirates. Despite his old-age and him having gotten a little rusty, his aim was precise and spot on.
The trident quickly made it's way towards the pirate leader's face. However, right before it could hit him-
*Crackle*
A shield of ice was formed mid-air in front of the pirate, stopping the trident right in it's tracks.
