Chapter 117 – Cat Dad’s First Sea PVP (4)
As the frigate kept sailing forward, it left the beacon of light, which didn’t follow after Xiaomao’s location. Moreover, the bright light slowly dimmed as the sign was not permanent.
Without the light, the ck frigate slowly faded into the darkness. On the other hand, the pursuing ships ended up sailing into the light and became clear targets.
Fishing boats, motorboats, and rowboats were the only ones in the dimming beacon. The yers’ vessels chased after the ship without maintaining their formation. As a result, the carefully nned Row Formation changed into the Wedge Formation, going after the stern of Wellerboy.
Meanwhile, the cog ships of Yarr Guild, which had broken the previous formation a long time ago, were forming a column formation, sailing along the Wellerboy’s right stern. Saxon and his friends empowered the sails and mana engines of their small ships, picking up the speed.
Soon, they caught up to the Wellerboy’s starboard side, but their distance was at least 500 meters apart.
Saxon lighted another re and fired in the direction of the ck frigate to measure the distance. When Wellerboy was visible, Sawyer and Saxon’s expressions were brightened.
No crew seemed to notice their presence yet.
“This is our moment! Tell all ships to port by 20 degrees. We’ll intercept that battleship!”
The cannon crew pursed their lips, disappointed by the order.
“We’re not going to shoot them?”
Sawyer exined, “We outnumber them. If we can kill all the crews, we can steal their ship! What’s the point of damaging our soon-to-be gship?! How much money and time do you think we need to invest in one of those?”<sub>.</sub>
The crewmates were enlightened. They got excited that they would finally have a proper ship for their guild.
“That’s right! We can’t call ourselves pirates if we don’t have a proper jewel like that!”
“That thing looks like the ck Pearl. It’s an ideal ship for pirates like us!”
“YARR! WE WANT THAT SHIP!”
Saxon and Sawyer smiled and salivated. They, too, couldn’t wait to im the ship and steal all Xiaomao’s legendary artifacts.
But as they were fantasizing about their future adventures, squeaky noises of bats interrupted their daydream. Everybody looked up and found a horde of a hundred bats, circling around their fleet.
“Bats?”
Male gamers were used to bats, rats, and pests. They raised their weapons and tried to shoo away the bats. As for female gamers, half of them took a deep breath and remained quiet while the other half shrieked as if they were stupid characters in horror movies.
The bats descended in unison andtched on female yers and male yers with female avatars. Their fangs sunk into their necks.
1 Damage!
The damage was pathetic. The yers were stunned at first, but the menughed afterward. Meanwhile, the women didn’t utter a sound even though they were attacked.<sub></sub>
DING
<You have been cursed by Fu De, the True Blood Vampire Ancestor!>
<You have been inflicted with an abnormal status – [Vampiric Temptation]!>
<Fu De gives you an opportunity to be his servant in exchange for great power. Will you join the Vampirehood and discard your humanity?>
The system prompts appeared in front of all the female avatars, who never had a sexual rtionship with anybody in-game. They stared at the messages in astonishment.
Several men, aka many-man-online-role-yer-girls-type, didn’t bat an eye. They epted the offer right away.
DING
<You have been mutated. Your race has been changed to Vampire.>
<You have been mutated. Your race has been changed to Elven Vampire.>
<You have been mutated. Your race has been changed to Orc Vampire.>
Different races came with different types of vampires. The gamers received the confirmation messages, and they discovered that their Dark Element and overall status attributes sharply rose.<sub></sub>
But before they could even celebrate, a new game message mocked them for choosing the wrong option.
<Your consciousness is no longer the owner of your game character. You will enter the observer mode.>
<Fu De has ordered you to attack your friends.>
<Your body reacts to Fu De’smand.>
The mutated yers could no longer control their game avatars. They could only watch how their game characters unsheathed their weapons and assaulted their colleagues.
“W-What are you doing?! AHHHHH!!”
Cries and panicking screams of Yarr Guild’s members caused amotion. The ship crews turned around to see what their colleagues were doing and found out that they were fighting each other.
Saxon used the cash shop speakerphone again.
“WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! STOP MESSING AROUND!”
Despite using the speakerphone, the fight didn’t stop. The mutated vampires took the initiative and ughtered a dozen yers.
The bats didn’t stop there. They merged as one and transformed into ate-middle-aged man in a Drac cloak. The vampire ancestornded in the middle of Saxon’s ship and humbly bowed toward them.
“Greetings, dear guests. Wee to the party.”
Saxon turned around and nced at Fu De’s name and his level. Upon realizing that he couldn’t see the strength of this NPC, he took a step back.
“W-Who are you?!”
“I’m currently in debt to that battleship’s captain, you see. I’m afraid there must be a misunderstanding going on, and I’m a civilized person. Why don’t we fix the misunderstanding by dropping your weapons and surrendering yourselves to me so that I can kill you painfully.”
“…”
Saxon searched his inventory and brought out holy water, which he usually used on undead monsters, such as skeleton soldiers and zombies. He sshed it on Fu De.
As soon as the holy water sshed on him, it caused a sizzling sound as if juicy meat was ced on a hot barbeque grill. White smoke came out and it caused four digits of damage.
However, Fu De smirked. He patted the wounds, and his skin was healed, including his HP.
“Gentlemen, sshing water at strangers is rude. Let me teach you something about manner.”
The belly of Sawyer exploded, instantly killing the yer. His blood floated from his opened stomach, gathering into a mass, hovering over Fu De’s head.
The vampire smiled as he sshed the blood of Sawyer to Saxon, paying him back for sshing holy water on him. However, the blood of Sawyer melted Saxon’s body into goo along with his crewmates and the cog ship.
Just like that, the gship was sunk, and the Guild Master of Yarr was in.
Fu De cackled and licked his fingers. He leaped from the sinking cog to another one nearby. As the crew was busy handling the mutated friends, they didn’t notice the vampire’s arrival.
“Excuse me.”
Fu De’s hand pierced the back of a yer and pulled out thetter’s heart. The vampire brought it closer to his nose for a sniff before he tossed it away.
“Disgusting sex addicted. Welp, next one.”
He went after another yer as if he was on a shopping spree. While he was at it, Magdalene sent a warning.
?[0)??? <Magdalene hopes you can spare the otherworlders’ ves.>
“What ve?”
Fu De was surprised. He looked around and noticed that several people on the ship didn’t have the same scent as the yers. Their scent was foul, simr to human vomit. On the other hand, yers had strong distinctive scents like a mixture of spices – Some smelt nice while some had a disgusting odor.
Upon locating the ves, Fu De opened his palms and raised his forearm by his shoulders. Then, five dull-eyed people floated from the sea because of the vampire telekinesis ability.
“Do you know how lucky you are?”
The retainers of the yers gulped and warily stared at Fu De. They didn’t utter a word.
