Chapter 164: The Hunter Always Appears in the Form of Prey
"How long will repairs take?"
Mo Shuying found Drake, who was directing his crew in repairing the Golden Hind.
This was the most significant damage the Golden Hind had sustained since it first set sail. Drake was frustrated; his cannons couldn't breach the enemy's defenses, but the enemy's firepower could easily cripple the Golden Hind. The discrepancy was simply too vast.
"For a simple repair, we could be ready to sail in about two hours. But if we encounter them again, we'll still only be able to run. It's so infuriating!"
Drake had been a pirate for a long time, but this was the first time he'd been bullied so badly by a peer.
"Don't feel bad. The opponent is a Heroic Spirit, and his ship is his Noble Phantasm. It's no longer a normal ship, so it's perfectly normal that we couldn't beat it."
Mo Shuying tried to comfort him, but it didn't seem to have much effect.
"I don't understand any of that. You guys should be the experts on this. So let me ask, is there a way to deal with it? Or rather, is there any way to make the Golden Hind capable of contending with that strange ship?"
Drake had been very surprised by the Vimana before. A flying ship—it was the first time he'd ever seen one. If the Vimana hadn't been so small, otherwise…
Otherwise, he definitely would have hugged and kissed it a few times to get his fill.
Otherwise…
(⊙o⊙) What?? Rob it? Wouldn't that be suicide?
"Make the Golden Hind contend with their ship? That's not impossible."
Mo Shuying stroked his chin. Isn't that why I came here?
Drake's face lit up.
"What's the method?"
Mo Shuying smiled slightly and said mysteriously,
"Fight magic with magic!"
...
On the tranquil sea, a golden ship with a goddess figurehead cut through the waves. Standing at the bow was a man adorned in gold and silver, with short golden hair and a roguish smile. In his hand, he held the Holy Grail, still filled with wine.
"Ah~ Drinking from the Holy Grail is truly delicious~"
The golden-haired man drained the wine in his cup. Behind him, a cute girl approached with a wine bottle and refilled it for him.
"Don't drink too much, Lord Jason. There might be a battle soon, and drinking too much can lead to mistakes."
The cute girl said softly, her gentle voice seemingly capable of healing anything.
The golden-haired man, Jason, turned to the girl, a strange smile on his lips, and said,
"I know, my dear wife Medea. Ah~ You're truly gentle. If you could always be this gentle, I wouldn't… cough, cough, cough…"
Jason coughed repeatedly, almost saying something he shouldn't have.
"Hmm? What's wrong, Lord Jason?"
The young Medea tilted her head, looking confused. Her innocent eyes made Jason feel a pang of guilt, and he shivered as terrible memories flashed through his mind.
"Cough, cough, it's nothing. By the way, Medea, where are we now? Hector said he saw Euryale. Now that I have the Holy Grail, as long as I find Euryale and the Ark of the Covenant, I can achieve my invincible dream of ruling the world!"
Jason's eyes gleamed with brilliant light. Now that he had come to this world, he would hold it in the palm of his hand! Unrivaled throughout the world! Control everything, fulfill the dreams he hadn't accomplished in his past life!
When he was summoned, that green-hatted man told him that as long as he obtained the Holy Grail and sacrificed Euryale to the Ark of the Covenant, this world would become his sole possession, and he would then experience how lonely invincibility truly was.
He had already asked the disciple of the goddess, the most excellent Mage of the Age of Gods—who was also his future wife, Medea—about the feasibility of this matter, and Medea had nodded in agreement.
There were no problems then. All he had to do was obtain everything.
And so.
Following Hector's instructions, they arrived near the island where the previous battle had taken place, but…
"Where's the ship?"
Jason saw the beach still bore traces of tree-cutting and battle, but he didn't see any ship.
"Either they left, or they went ashore…"
Hector walked over and thought for a moment before speaking. He actually wanted to say that leaving was highly probable, but his words were interrupted by Jason.
"Oh, humph, what a bunch of useless scum who can't even save me trouble. Since there's a possibility they went ashore, we'll have to investigate. Medea, use your abilities to search every inch of this island."
Jason gave Medea the command. Medea smiled, stepped forward, and threw out a large number of fangs. These fangs twisted and transformed in the air, becoming powerful Dragon Tooth Warriors. They landed on the beach, clutching bone swords, and charged towards the island.
...
Meanwhile.
The Golden Hind had actually changed its position.
The simply repaired Golden Hind set sail and headed towards an island.
"We'll be there soon. Look, those dark shadows should be the little darlings I told you about."
Euryale pointed to the sky above the large island. Earlier, when she was evading pursuit, she passed this island and saw Wyverns flying, so she made a note of it.
Mo Shuying squinted to see. With his eyesight, he could only make out black dots flying in the sky above the small island, but the fact that they were visible as black dots from such a distance indicated they were not small.
"They're Wyverns!"
Mash looked out and immediately confirmed.
Having fought Wyverns many times before, she was confident she hadn't mistaken them.
"These are wild, real, live Wyverns!"
Mo Shuying exclaimed, wondering how much material he could get from them!
Drake also came over, looking through a monocular before speaking.
"Can materials from these guys really strengthen the Golden Hind?"
Mo Shuying nodded.
"Don't worry, their Dragon Scales offer good defense. I'll even make you a Dragon Heart Power Core and add a Dragon Flame Cannon. After that, don't call it the Golden Hind anymore; call it the Golden Dragon."
Mo Shuying felt that his Item Creation EX could finally be put to good use.
"Cough, cough, cough... that sounds pretty good, but let's skip the name change for now."
Drake chuckled a bit awkwardly. Just then,
"Oh? The little darlings are flying over!"
Euryale shouted loudly. Everyone looked up to see three of the flying black specks detaching and heading their way.
As they got closer, everyone could make out the appearance of these magical beasts.
In their eyes, they saw massive bodies, huge wings, ferocious dragon heads, and terrifying giant claws!
But in Mo Shuying's eyes, he saw tough Dragon Scales, dragon wings that could be used for canvas, Dragon Teeth that were excellent material for Dragon Tooth Warriors, and giant claws too big to fit in one pot.
Just one word!
Easy!
"Here they come! They're targeting us! Prepare to engage!"
Drake shouted, and everyone quickly sprang into action. Even Euryale raised her bow and arrow. She was a woman who called them "little darlings" but showed no mercy in her attacks.
Mo Shuying reached out, stopping everyone's movements, and said,
"Don't move! Don't damage these excellent materials! Let me handle this!"
After speaking, Mo Shuying leaped into the air and charged towards the Wyverns.
The three Wyverns looked puzzled. They were here to hunt, but why was this prey flying? And...
That smile was terrifying for a dragon!
