Chapter 307 - Chapter 307 Chapter 296 King of Plunder (2nd Update)

Chapter 307: Chapter 296: King of Plunder! (2nd Update) Chapter 307: Chapter 296: King of Plunder! (2nd Update) Pirate Island, Mist Forest.

On board a pirate ship named the Laughing Goddess, this was a ship that could sail through air and also traverse through various dimensions.

This kind of pirate ship is an essential configuration for plane pirates… and the Laughing Goddess was the most nimble among the three great pirate fleets of Pirate Island.

But today… it sank!

The reason for its sinking was a damned group of Magic Thieves who emerged from nowhere, bringing with them three Crystal Dragons contaminated by the abyss, which attacked the Laughing Goddess.

The Laughing Goddess had already plunged into the Mist Forest, and one of the abyss-polluted Crystal Dragons kept ramming the ship’s magic barrier, which had started showing cracks on its surface.

The breath of the abyss seeped through the barrier into the ship.

“Madam, those dragons are after the cargo in the hold, maybe we could get rid of them if we throw the cargo out!”

“Return the stuff I fought to death to steal from the Magic Thieves to those same thieves? Newbie! If you mention ‘cargo’ one more time, I’ll throw you to the Abyss Dragons!”

Lady of Calamity, she had almost forgotten her own name… Since joining the plane pirates, this was how outsiders addressed her.

But the word calamity doesn’t quite match her numerous misdeeds recorded in the star charts, she had another name… King of Pillage!

Her Scourge Pirates might not be the strongest among the three great pirate fleets of Pirate Island, but they had stolen the most goods from Pirate Island.

The other eight powers on Pirate Island had all been plundered clean by her at least once! The title King of Pillage was a matter of pride she held dear.

And today, she had risked her life to steal a pile of good things from the hands of the Magic Thieves, she didn’t even know what this pile of good things was.

But judging by the Magic Thieves’ siege, the goods she stole were definitely extremely precious!

“Damn abyss!” Lady of Calamity’s thoughts were interrupted by a pain from her left hand.

She had been infected by the abyss, her bloodied and filthy left hand was visibly deforming at an alarming rate.

Normally, an infection from the abyss could be cured by an antidote exchanged from Devouring God, and infection from the Crystal Plague brought by the Magic Thieves could be treated similarly. Even for some pirates, undergoing the crystal ordeal and turning into a perfect Crystal species was a way to enhance their own strength.

Therefore, the Magic Thieves dared not recklessly use the Crystal Plague as a weapon, until… they joined forces with the abyss.

The combination of Crystal Plague and abyssal infection, two diseases involving principles, turned into the most terrifying weapon on the star charts, with a near hundred percent fatality rate for those infected.

This even caused the formidable Eradication Legion on Pirate Island to be helpless against them.

Lady of Calamity did not want to become a lump of flesh covered in crystals, so she swung her scimitar and chopped off her infected left arm.

Her flying left hand turned into a monstrous creature with numerous fangs rushing toward her, and Lady of Calamity pulled out a blunderbuss with strong sealing magic power in her right hand and pulled the trigger.

The magic power accumulated in the blunderbuss transformed into hundreds of lethal bullets that shot out and turned her left hand, which had morphed into a monster, into minced meat.

But it was of no use… The forces of the abyss and the crystal began to recklessly rampage inside her body.

“Madam! Can the Holy Spirits recruited by that old man Drake really defeat these monsters?”

“Holy Spirits? I’ve heard they’re a bunch of fledglings that not even whores can handle! Those kids will probably faint at the sight of these monsters, right?”

Lady of Calamity propped herself up and stood, while below the Laughing Goddess, her pirate elite were locked in combat with the Magic Thieves, and the most troublesome were the three abyss-infected Crystal Dragons.

Those veteran members, facing this life-and-death crisis, were not frightened but rather joking about a secret order sent by Drake this morning.

The content of the secret order was to shut down all shops related to ‘that thing’ in pirate city! The reason was that the ages of the Holy Spirits were too young to handle such stimulating things.

When this order came out, all the pirates in pirate city laughed… it turned out that the descendants of the terrifying Devouring God were nothing but a bunch of kids who couldn’t even handle ‘that thing’.

Lady of Calamity initially thought Drake was joking, but the seal of the Grand Chief was branded on this secret order, a seal that could only be used once a year since the establishment of the pirate alliance ten years ago.

Drake had never used it before, except this time, for such an insignificant shutdown of ‘that thing’s’ shops.

Could it be… the descendants of the Devouring God that Drake found are really just a troop of boy scouts?

This thought had just appeared in the mind of the Lady of Calamity when the Abyss Dragon above tore apart the Magic Power barrier of the Laughing Goddess, and its massive body landed on the deck of the Laughing Goddess, emitting a roar that was deafening to all the crew on board.

The dangerous Abyssal Plague and Crystal Plague swiftly spread across the deck, and the crew members near the Abyss Dragon began to mutate at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even the Magic Talismans that the crew wore were of no use.

Damn! Such cheating abilities should not appear on the star chart!

Lady of Calamity felt the dual plagues within her becoming increasingly severe, her sanity being eaten away by the Abyss, while her body and soul were being transformed by the Crystal Plague.

Just as Lady of Calamity raised her musket to aim at the Abyss Dragon on the deck… the sound of shattering glass suddenly came from the sky!

A rift in space-time? Had Drake truly brought the descendants of the Devouring God as reinforcements?

Lady of Calamity felt a surge of joy in her heart, but rather than the legendary fearsome descendants of the Devouring God, what appeared before her was a snowman, and a little girl with twin pigtails.

From Lady of Calamity’s perspective… the little girl’s age did not exceed fourteen.

“Pighead! Eat my Azure Dragon Crescent Blade!”

The petulant voice came from the girl’s mouth, her twin pigtails behind her shook once, and then she wielded a huge Guan Dao in her hand, striking at the Abyss Dragon.

And then… she was slapped to death by the Abyss Dragon with a single claw.

Just like that… dead?

For a moment Lady of Calamity was stunned; when she first felt a purifying energy emanating from the little girl, in the next second she had become a pixelated tombstone weeping in pain.

Is that it? Lady of Calamity wanted to look up at the rift in the sky, but she didn’t need to raise her head, suddenly a loud noise erupted in front of her.

A figure wielding a black iron shield crashed down upon the Abyss Dragon from above.

“Little Feather, take a half-day break to release your awakening; Juan Canyun, go find our faction’s leader. The first squadron’s target is the Abyss Dragon outside the pirate ship, watch out for the Magic Thieves’ sneak attacks!”

Mo Shigui arrived on the Laughing Goddess in an instant, and the entire crew powered by nuclear leaping also arrived on the deck of this pirate ship through the portal.

Several battlefields instantly unfolded before Lady of Calamity, and before she even had a chance to ask what these Holy Spirits intended to do… a figure radiating with Holy Light appeared before her.

“You seem to be in great pain; let me… heal you,” said Add Milk No Extra Charge, looking at Lady of Calamity with eyes of pity, tossing several healing skills onto the leader of this planar pirate faction.

The moment Holy Light appeared around her, Lady of Calamity felt a burning pain within her!

This wasn’t Holy Light, it was the power of the Devouring God… but the Abyssal and Crystal parts inside her were rapidly vanishing; if her body and soul had been too fragile, she might not have been able to withstand the healing from Add Milk No Extra Charge. But she was the leader of one of the three great pirate gangs, Lady of Calamity with the title King of Pillage!

“Keep going! Holy Spirit, why have you stopped?”

Lady of Calamity felt the presence of the Abyss within her was almost purified away when, with just a bit remaining, Add Milk No Extra Charge stopped the release of her healing spell.

“Full purification of the Abyss is ten Gold Coins… no, ten Pillage Tokens each, thank you.”

“Here,” Lady of Calamity gave them surprisingly… readily.

She had long known from Drake what these Holy Spirits wanted as compensation; Pillage Tokens were just a small part of it.

Ten Pillage Tokens were not a high price for her.

“You’re a straight-shooting NPC; I thought I’d have to threaten you,” said Add Milk No Extra Charge.

Add Milk No Extra Charge looked at the ten Pillage Tokens in her hand, unsurprisingly untradeable exchange items.

“No one can threaten the King of Pillage! The price you named is insignificant to me, Holy Spirit, remember this is a reward I grant unto you!” said Lady of Calamity.

“Impressive, very impressive,” said Add Milk No Extra Charge.
