Chapter 267 – 166: Emerging from the Shell (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)
In the blink of an eye, Rein had reached the bottom of the “Shipwreck,” where his Glimmering Greatsword was inserted. At this moment, he could see a short section of the gleaming greatsword’s tip penetrating the thick hull, appearing to his right.
However, ing to the bottom hold wasn’t just about retrieving his greatsword—more importantly, it was about implementing the plan!
For this level also housed the storage location for the “Shipwreck’s” gunpowder barrels.
In front of his eyes, inside a separate small cabin, dozens of large wooden barrels were neatly stacked on metal racks, which seemed to be raised off the ground slightly to prevent dampness.
Rein first forcefully withdrew the greatsword and then switched from the hammer in his hand back to the Glimmering Greatsword.
At that moment, a large group of Bloodsail pirates, led by the brutally-faced first mate and a bearded sailing master, surrounded him from all directions.
Rein assessed his own physical exhaustion—the recent continuous bursts of energy were indeed very draining, so in his mind, he silently opted to allocate more points.
Following the pre-planned allocation strategy, as his remaining attribute points changed from 3→2 and his spiritual power from 23 points→24 points, Rein suddenly felt a surge of warmth pumping out of his heart and rapidly spreading to his limbs!
In an instant, Rein had restored his physical strength to peak condition!
In terms of endurance battles, Rein, who could restore with “points allocation,” had never feared anyone!
The sight of Rein calmly holding the greatsword intimidated the group of Bloodsail pirates momentarily, causing them to shrink back in awe; this infuriated several pirate leaders who had not witnessed Rein’s prowess before!
“Attack! Kill him!” bellowed a few of the Bloodsail pirate leaders as they led the charge.
As the pirates roared, they launched another assault on Rein.
Rein’s body once again swelled, most noticeably his bulging neck, as if his chest housed a boiling, bubbling pot of water, and his wide-open mouth was like a roaring steam whistle, releasing a colossal stream of heat!
“Roar!!!”
A roar louder than all their voices bined emanated from the bottom hold!
“Roaring strike!”
This made every pirate there change their expression, thinking to themselves, “This is bad!” but it was already too late to retreat!
First, there was this wide-range sonic attack, which was most difficult to counter, unless…
Your speed of retreat could surpass the speed of sound!
Moreover, being in a cabin, a confined space, the lethality of the sonic waves was further enhanced by the echo!
Thus, a moment later, a loud noise exploded by the ears of all the pirates.
Dozens of Bloodsail pirates’ facial skin stretched, trembled, and distorted under the impact of the sonic waves, their eyes lost focus and even rolled back, and their heads went blank!
“Aaah!!!” Screams echoed continuously.
And after the loud noise, there was a buzzing noise in their ears and brains that lasted a long time without subsiding!
Unlike before, this time Rein did not immediately unleash the Whirlwind Slash but instead…
Took this opportunity to cast the witchcraft “Blaze of Light”!
As a glaring flame suddenly lit up above the palm of Rein’s left hand, the previously dim environment was brightly lit like daylight in an instant.
Now, those Bloodsail pirates were indeed miserable: their eardrums torn, heads throbbing with severe pain, just as they were starting to recover, they were almost blinded by the intense light, seeing only a sea of whiteness!
The shift from extreme darkness to extreme light is unbearable for anyone!
“Aaah!!!”
Thus, just as the screaming had subsided slightly, it rose again sharply!
Seconds later, when the Bloodsail pirates realized they could barely see again, they saw that intensive light moving towards a pile of cylindrical objects at the bottom of the hold.
The first mate and sailing master, the first to recover their sight, saw Rein plug and light a fuse on a barrel of gunpowder, their expressions struck with horror!
“Ssss!”
The burning sound of the fuse, as relentless as a death sentence!
Judging by the length of the fuse, it was probably going to explode in three seconds!
Retreat!
Quickly retreat! Even faster!
The first mate and sailing master immediately abandoned all caution, scrambling to the upper deck!
They were well aware that if that pile of gunpowder barrels exploded, not only would they be sent to heaven, but the “Shipwreck” itself would likely also be blasted in two. Just imagining that scene filled both with sheer terror!
’What kind of maniac has e from where to kill himself and choose mutual destruction!’ The two cursed in their minds, panicking as they ran for their lives.
“Run!”
Ordinary pirates also caught on at this time, and it was not feasible to push through this formidable opponent to extinguish the fuse.
The only option now was to run!
As long as they could make it to the decks at either end, even if there was an explosion, they might still have a chance to survive.
“Boom!!!”
Just as the Bloodsail pirates scattered chaotically, squeezing toward the ladder of the upper chamber like headless flies.
Rein’s physique swelled once more, the 2.2-meter muscle behemoth reappeared, instantly switching weapons, and with one hammer blow created another large hole in the thirty-centimeter-thick oak hull.
Then, Rein forcefully pushed off with his legs, leaping through the large hole, his entire body soaring like a giant bird towards the nearest small boat over ten meters away.
It had been “breaking in” before, but now it was “breaking out”!
Two seconds…
At that moment, mid-leap Rein suddenly caught sight of a familiar, beautiful face peeking out from the hole in the captain’s quarters at the stern of the “Shipwreck.”
