Chapter 475: Naval Warfare (Middle)
[I think the power that they’re displaying right now is still the same as the power that they displayed when they hunted Great Demon Verus, right?]
[That’s crazy…! The buff effect still hasn’t worn off?]
[Wow. That’s amazing. What kind of power do the dishes made by our Lord Food God have?!]
Everyone was shocked when they realized that the members of Beyond the Heavens Kingdom still had their buffs in effect. After all, everyone was aware that most of the members of Beyond the Heavens Kingdom had eaten Minhyuk’s dishes when they hunted Great Demon Verus and received very shocking powers.
But it was more shocking for them to see that the buff of the dishes that they ate were still in effect!
[If we get the power of his dishes, then isn’t it possible for us to bomb our level?]
[Will I be able to eat something like that if I go to Beyond the Heavens Kingdom?]
[From what I heard, you will be able to hear heavenly and divine harmony in your ears the moment you eat the Food God’s dish. I really want to try it once!]
As of this moment, quite a number of people were seriously considering migrating to the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom.
***
Crack, crack, crack, crack—
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Lundnu looked at the ship owned by Beyond the Heavens Kingdom incredulously when he saw it charge recklessly forward.
‘How high is that ship’s attack and defense…?!’
They were breaking through all of the ships that blocked their path and were charging forward? At first Lundnu thought that they were conceited and arrogant. After all, how could they go against their numbers with just a single ship, right?
But just as the thought flashed in Lundnu’s head, the members of Beyond the Heavens Kingdom suddenly leapt to the skies and started to destroy the pirate ships one after the other.
“Heoooook! Wh, what the hell?! How much damage can they deal…?!”
That was right. Lundnu held onto the belief that the duration of the buff that they had received before had already ended. But right now, the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom were showing that they still had the effects of the buffed dishes with them.
Ghost Spear Ben immediately dashed away after destroying the ship, and jumped onto another. The ship that he landed on was Lundnu Pirates’ Second Attack Ship. Lundnu was akin to a king in the seas, and the man that he left aboard the Second Attack Ship was Attor, Japan’s number one spearman.
Whenever Attor saw Ghost Spear Ben in the news, he would snicker and say, ‘Korea’s Ghost Spear Ben? Isn’t he just a fangless tiger?’ These were Attor’s true and honest thoughts. Attor was also a spearman in real life and was well-known for his skills, that was why he was confident. Then, he gave his orders, “Stop him. There’s only one enemy in front of us!!!”
“Uwaaaaaaaaah!”
The pirates aboard the Second Attack Ship were among the best of the best. Even their vice captain was once a kingdom’s Knight Commander. Just like that, more than forty pirates rushed forward to stop Ghost Spear Ben.
And Ghost Spear Ben? He just slid on the ship’s deck, stabbed one of the pirates running upfront with his spear before pulling it out once again.
Spuuuuurt!
“Hey runts! Did you think that it would be different if you attacked with numbers?”
Ghost Spear Ben moved swiftly from one end to another as he pierced through the knights’ armors and stabbed his enemies’ stomachs.
“Keuheoooook!”
This time, instead of pulling out his spear, he just took the pirate that he stabbed with him and rushed forward as it was. Ghost Spear Ben, who used the body of his enemy as a shield, flew up in the air and cast his Ghost Spearmanship’s Exploding Spear.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
The forty-odd pirates that rushed to stop Ben all fell down and died in one attack.
“Heook?!” Attor gasped incredulously. He could not believe that more than forty pirates were wiped out in just under twenty seconds. However, he knew that many of the Japanese had their eyes trained on him at this very moment. He had to maintain his composure.
‘I can’t be scared. I will definitely cut off Ghost Spear Ben’s head.’
Attor was a master when it came to attacking with the spear. Even his passive skill supplemented his attack by doubling his speed. He firmly believed that no one would be able to beat him in terms of speed. The tip of Attor’s spear directly aimed for Ghost Spear Ben’s neck.
However, Ben only tilted his head to the side and he was able to evade Attor’s attack. Attor did not give Ben any chance to take a breather as he stabbed, swung and struck at him. Ben only lightly pushed the spear with his arm and he was able to evade the attack. He even used his own spear to lightly hit against Attor’s spear and change its course.
“Runts! How dare you try to pressure and push my king with your numbers?!” Frost settled on Ghost Spear Ben’s usually playful face. After evading Attor’s spear, he swung his spear once and dug through Attor’s chest.
Craaaaaaaaack—
“The price for daring to touch His Majesty is death.”
Ghost Spear Ben pulled his spear out before stabbing Attor once again.
“Keheoook!” Attor could not believe what just happened despite the mouthful of blood that he vomited. His HP slowly started to go to zero in just one single attack. And finally, Ghost Spear Ben left him behind.
Thuuuuuud—
As blackness started to encroach upon his vision, Attor mumbled, “Lu… Lundnu… R, run… awa…”
It only took twenty seconds for Attor to be forced to log out.

Several pirate ships had turned their attention to one man and one man alone. This man was none other than ‘Golden Mage’ Ali. At this point in time, everyone felt that Ali was far more dangerous than Minhyuk. After all, even the official global number one mage Alex could not reach his toes. If he unleashed his AOE magic attack, then the ships that were crowded in this area would definitely be destroyed. And because of that, they sent hundreds of assassin class players to the ship that Ali was currently in. But Ali…
Twitch, twitch—
…had his lips twitching with joy.
“What the hell? Why is he smiling?!”
“…Is he nuts?”
From what they heard, Ali was one of the few normal ones among the people of Beyond the Heavens Kingdom. That was why they did not have any idea why Ali was smiling like crazy right now. However, as the hundreds of assassins narrowed the distance between them, Ali suddenly raised his left arm up in the sky and shouted, “Frieeeeeeeeeeeeend!!!”
“F, Frieeeeeeeeeend!”
“Frieeeeeeeeeeeend!”
Some of the Japanese assassins that were rushing toward him reacted unconsciously to his words. Any comic fan would not be able to stop themselves from reacting to this heart-warming call, right?! At that moment, these few assassins recognized Ali as their ‘friend and comrade’!
“Are you all nuts?! Come back to your senses?!!!”
“Ah. Yes!”
The assassins that stopped in their tracks unconsciously were woken up by their comrades and started to rush forward again. It did not matter if they got delayed, Golden Mage Ali was just a ‘mage’. The fact that he was the weakest when it came to close combat would remain the same. The hundreds of assassins soared to the skies to approach him. At the same time, dozens of magic attacks shot out Ali’s hands.
Fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh—
All of the magic that he sent out accurately stabbed through the hearts of the approaching assassins. But what was more surprising was the fact that Ali only used first to third tier magic.
“Keoheok?!”
“Keuaaaaaack!”
That was right. Mages might be vulnerable with their low defense and HP, but so were the assassins. The worst part? Whenever the assassins reached Ali, Ali would use Blink and scurry away from them. And whenever they thought that they had finally succeeded in landing an attack, the gigantic predatory snake that was hiding in Ali’s arm would show its face and bite them.
All eyes turned to Ali as he soared to the skies with Fly, his lips still twitching with joy.
“C, crazy shit! Stop smiling!!!”
Then, disaster befell them as magic poured out of Ali’s Staff of Despair.
“Explosion.”
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Mages could save and accumulate their magic. As a high-tiered mage, Ali always had dozens of fourth to fifth tier magic stored in his staff. Dozens of explosions burst out and engulfed the dozens of ships gathered together.
“…!”
“…!”
“…!”
All of the pirates that were watching the scene were left speechless. They could not come back to their senses after receiving the bombardment of Ali’s infamous AOE magic spells. Then, as if to drill it even further in their heads that these people were not to be taken lightly, Minhyuk cast his Sword of Absolute Death. His attacks also destroyed dozens of ships in one go. The thing that made the pirates fall into deeper despair was the ‘Crazy’ that was engraved on the flat of his sword.
Just then…
Rumbleeeeeeee—
Gorfido’s Pirate Ship, which was about eight or nine times the size of an ordinary ship, began to tremble as a deep smile hung at the corners of Lundnu’s mouth.
“Let me show you the power of Gorfido’s Pirate Ship.”
And with his words, the bottom of Gorfido’s ship started to open as hundreds of cannons appeared. The worst part was that the attack power of the canons of Gorfido’s Pirate Ships was more than seven times that of the normal pirate ships. Even the speed at which they shot out the cannonballs were as fast as a machine gun.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Then, Gorfido’s Pirate Ship began to rain down cannonballs upon them. Ali looked at the cannonballs in shock after quickly casting a shield in front of him.
‘The shield can’t handle the attack?’
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang—
Ali started to fall as a crack appeared on his shield. Minhyuk quickly picked Ali up before running toward their own ship.
“Get back onboard!!!”
“Yes, sir!”
With Minhyuk’s order, everyone retreated back to the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom’s ship.
The name given to the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom’s ship was ‘Battleship’. It was a ship exclusively built for battle. The ship was now receiving the brunt of heavy firepower. Fortunately, the ship was being protected by a transparent protective shield which prevented the cannonballs from dealing damage to their ship.
“They’re holding out under the onslaught of Gorfido’s Pirate Ship…”
“What in the world is that ship?!”
The pirates looked at their ship in shock. This was because no ship had ever endured a bombing from Gorfido’s Pirate Ship. However, instead of rejoicing, Genie’s face had turned ugly. She said, “Minhyuk. The damage that we are receiving from that ship’s bombing is beyond our imagination.”
Minhyuk’s expression turned serious. He knew that his HP would at least decrease by 15% if he ever received a direct hit from that.
“My pirate ship has won against 500 ships in the past,” Gorfido said. However, what came as a bigger shock was his following words. He said, “That’s only a small part of what it can do. Gorfido’s Pirate Ship is equipped with many excellent functions. You won’t be able to deal any damage to it with just a normal cannonball.”
That might be true. After all, Gorfido owned that ship.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Their ship continued to endure the bombardment of Gorfido’s Pirate Ship.
[Battleship’s Shield has decreased by more than 50%.]
[Warning! Warning! There is a chance that the shield will be destroyed. Please be careful!]
Small cracks started to appear in the shield that protected the ship. Seeing this, more than a hundred pirate ships started to narrow the distance between them and the Battleship. And in a blink, Battleship was enduring the bombardment from several, perhaps even hundreds, of pirate ships.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
The ship rocked fiercely from the bombardment. Then, Genie and Minhyuk made eye contact.
“Let’s wait a bit more. Wait until we have filled more.”
“How much more?”
“Only 15%. Only 15% until it\'s full.”
“…?”
Gorfido looked at the two of them in doubt as he wondered about what the two of them had been waiting for.
***
The commentators looked at the Battleship that was being cornered by the pirates.
[In the end, they are placed in a tight spot.]
[Their momentum was very high in the beginning. However, it’s still reckless for them to rush into hundreds of pirate ships.]
[The Beyond the Heavens Kingdom’s ship’s shield will soon be destroyed. If the bombing continued, then even their Named NPCs and guild members would not be able to hold out against it.]
No one could deny their claims. They all believed that it was amazing for this single ship to hold out and still be intact, despite the constant bombing. However, they knew that it was only a matter of time. There was just one thing that they were wondering about.
“Why aren’t they moving?”
Battleship neither fled nor attacked. The members of the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom just stood still and accepted all of the attacks sent their way. Because of that, it made it easier for the ships to surround them. And before they knew it…
Crack, crack, crack, crack—
…the blue shield that protected the Battleship began to fall apart.
[It seems like the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom’s ship will sink under the depths of the sea.]
[If Gorfido’s Pirate Ship continues its bombardment, then their shieldless ship will not be able to withstand the attacks and will definitely sink.]
Just when everyone predicted the end of this battle, Genie, who was standing on the deck, walked toward a mysterious ‘red button’.
“…What the hell?” Lundnu mumbled in puzzlement.
‘What in the world does that red button do?’
Genie’s lips twisted into a vicious smile as she stood in front of the red button. Then, she looked up at the pirate ships and shouted, “F*ck off!!!”
And the moment she pressed the button, a roof akin to a turtle’s shell suddenly appeared and covered the Battleship, as iron shields popped up and covered its body. And along with that…
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang—
The bottom of the Battleship opened with a loud bang, as hundreds of thick lasers stretched out from it and split more than seventy ships in half.
“…!”
“…!”
“…!”
All of the pirates were appalled when they saw the sinking ships in front of them.
