Chapter 141:
Agatho-Hildegard-Maximus rushed to Kairos aid.
Your Majesty! Come to your senses, Your Majesty!
Calm down! Come on!
My God, Your Majesty!
Camille panicked as Kairos collapsed and moved closer.
Senior, Whats wrong with you!
Grrrrgh! Grrrrgh!
Seniors
M-My Blood.. UGH!
What do you mean by blood? Has the senior suffered from high blood pressure?
Thats not. Ugh.
Kaiross eyes rolled back in his head, white with frustration.
I-Im so angry. Ugh!
Senior!
I never thought Id see that sight again! Ughhhhhhhhhh!
Kairos foamed at the mouth and collapsed.
The reason was simple.
Watching Otto cut the pirate ship in two with the [Golden Greatsword], he was reminded of his memories with the Bastard Argonne.
His family was a local noble family that had been engaged in maritime trade for generations, and they were very skilled in naval warfare.
Following in the footsteps of his ancestors, Argonne the Great also excelled in naval warfare, giving Kairos a string of victories.
He could still remember the day.
Your Majesty, I humbly offer you this victory. Here is the enemy leaders head.
After slicing the flagship of the enemy fleet in two with the Golden Greatsword, the returning Argonne offered up the head of the enemy captain.
But with Otto replicating the feats of Argonne back then, its no wonder Kairos PTSD was triggered.
Otto had merely showcased his power for the rare occasion in which he unintentionally triggered a memory attack.
Thanks to this, the otherwise perfectly healthy Kaiross blood pressure spiked and he fainted.
Camille closed his eyes grimly and shook his head as Kairos was rendered incapacitated due to his elevated blood pressure.
Incidentally.
Eh, this sword is a capitalist pig. Its called genetic victory, uncontested defeat. This filthy world, kaakk, Ptui!
Camille remembered Otto grumbling as he painstakingly applied gold bars to the Golden Greatsword.
I think I might need to use it, so Im preparing it in advance. This sword will become stronger if you feed it gold.
Now he understood what Otto meant by a sword that grew stronger with gold.
The sword stretched out like a long baton and could cut a pirate ship in two.
But upon further reflection, it seems that it was not all good.
The gold bars that were used weighed 50 kilograms.
Considering the value of a kilogram of gold, he had a rough idea of how much Otto had spent in this one encounter.
If it cost Otto 50 kilograms of gold for one battle.
If he swings that sword like that every time, hell go into bankruptcy.
It is clear that wielding the [Golden Greatsword] at any point in time would result in there being no money surplus, regardless of whether you were a king or not.
It might vary depending on how it is utilized, but it cant be said that its a cost effective weapon.
This is refreshing.
Otto, who had just sliced the pirate ship in two, beamed.
Whats wrong with him?
I think hes having a bad memory.
I see.
Otto glanced at Kairos in response to Camilles answer, then issued an order.
From now on. We will capture the pirate ships. When successful, raise a white flag and leave the battlefield.
Yes, Your Majesty!
Ottos goal was never to sink all the pirate ships.
Instead, it was the opposite.
It was impossible to capture all the pirate ships.
But with the swift maneuverability of the Red Goddess and the power of the Magic Swordsmen and Soul Knights, it would be possible to capture a significant number of pirate ships.
Why sink them? They can be taken to be ours.
To take the pirate ships and make them his own.
That was Ottos goal.

Meanwhile, Drake, who had taken over command of the [Black Fleet] from Otto, commanded the fleet as skillfully as if he had been an admiral since birth.
Five ships, to starboard. Five ships, to port. Block the pirate ships retreat, no need to sink them. Do not shoot at pirate ships flying the white flag. Keep the artillery fire to a minimum. The remaining ships will provide cover for the Tyrant.
Drake used the overwhelming superiority of the Black Fleet to put extensive pressure on the pirate ships.
*Boom!* *Boom!* *Bang!*
The twelve warships moved of their own accord at Drakes command.
There was no crew on the Black Fleet.
The same was true for all twelve ships, including the flagship, the Tyrant.
Why?
The Black Fleet, the treasure of the Pirate King Bardo, was a fleet of enchanted ships that moved only at the command of their captain.
They were fully automated and unmanned, at least when it came to naval combat.
Avery. You will never escape. You die here today.
Drake maneuvered his flagship, the [Tyrant], to press in on Averys pirate ship, the [Serpents Tongue].
The pressure from the Tyrant was more than Avery could have imagined.
The power gap between [Tyrant] and [Serpents Tongue] was easily three times or more.
Merely getting close was bound to pressure the Serpent Tongues energy.
Shoot! Shoot!
Avery saw the Tyrant closing in and ordered his men to open fire.
*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*
The cannons aboard the <Serpents Tongue> erupted in fire.
But.
*Clink!* *Clang!* *Clink!* *Clang!*
The Black Fleets flagship, the Tyrant, bounced off all of the shells, showing off the enormity of its defense.
N-No way!!!
Avery screamed as he watched the bombardment fail to even make a dent in the Tyrants hull.
In his 40 years as a pirate lord, he had fought countless naval battles, but he had never seen or heard of a monster like the Tyrant.
The legend of the invincible armada was real?
Avery was stunned.
*SPLASH!*
The [Tyrant] was suddenly right in front of [Serpents Tongue], showing off its overwhelming power.
The dark clouds created by the Tyrants shadow weighed Avery down.
!
Avery felt incredibly small in front of The Tyrants enormous size.
In front of the flagship of the Invincible Fleet, Avery, the Pirate Lord, was just an old, sickly man.
Avery.
On the bow of the [Tyrant].
Against the red backdrop of the sunset, Drake spoke.
I have come to avenge my fathers death.
You dare!
Avery snapped.
He looked like a small animal struggling to maintain its composure.
Williams foolish child thinks he can get even with me, Avery, the Pirate Lord, no matter how many traps youve dug and how many times youve cornered me, I wont flinch!
What?
Whether, William, or you, in the end, you will die at the hands of this Avery! And you will die a miserable death, just like your father and your mother and your sisters! Kahahahahahaha!
You son of a bitch!
Drakes eyes burned with rage.
At the mention of his family, the anger and hatred hed been holding back exploded.
Ill turn you to dust.
Drake immediately turned the bow of the Tyrant around and fired the cannons.
With the intention of turning Avery and his pirate ship, the [Serpents Tongue], into powder through a hail of artillery fire.
Okay!
Avery snarled through clenched teeth.
Ill show you, punk, why Im a pirate lord and why other pirate captains cant touch me!
Ill show you! Ill show you!
Avery pulled three glass flasks the size of beer bottles out of his hip pocket and threw them into the ocean.
About five seconds later.
Three giant sea monsters rose to the surface, revealing their terrifying majesty.
A huge head and eight legs.
And a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth.
!
Drake was startled to see the sea beasts Avery had summoned.
The creatures were as big as the flagship Tyrant, and they were the most famous legendary sea beasts in all the worlds oceans.
Kraken!
A sound close to a groan erupted from Drakes mouth.

About the same time.
Three of them?!
Otto, who had been zealously pursuing the pirate ships, was alarmed to see the Kraken appear.
He knew Avery could summon kraken.
But he hadnt expected there to be three.
Why??????
His mind was racing.
A variable that had gone completely off the rails.
Of course, it could have been a timing factor.
Drakes scenario was just getting started, and Averys was still in the works.
But even with that in mind, three Krakens seems like a lot.
If Otto had known that Avery could summon three Krakens, he would never have set up the operation like this.
Why?
Because, as the saying goes, one hand cant handle ten, so he could just ignore the Kraken and smash Averys pirate ship.
But with three, its a different story.
The Kraken were using their enormous size to protect Avery, but they were also engaged in equal combat with the Black Fleet.
The largest of them had completely wrapped the flagship, Tyrant.
*BOOM!* *BOOOM!* *BAANG!* *BOOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOOM!* *BAANG!* *BOOOM!*
It even manages to withstand the fearsome bombardment of the <Tyrant> with its body.
*WHAAAAAM!*
*CRASHH!*
The Kraken slammed its tentacles into the deck of the Tyrant, targeting Drake.
Obviously, it would be impossible for Drake, who was still merely a young man, to face the Kraken.
I have to save Drake first. This fight will not be won until the Tyrant is set free.
His heart was racing.
Come this way!
*Whoooosh!*
The [Red Goddess] quickly approached the pirate ship Otto was on.
Speed up! Full speed!
The [Red Goddess] began to close in on the Kraken that held the [Tyrant].
Meanwhile,
*Whoosh!* *Whoosh!*
Otto opened the cargo holds loot crates and immediately started grinding the gold bars into the [Golden Greatsword].
The gold bars gently melted like snow.
Otto couldnt even begin to calculate how many gold bars had been consumed in that short moment.
*Whoooosh!*
The more gold bars he fed it, the more brilliantly the blade of the [Golden Greatsword] radiated.
Your Majesty, were almost there!
Im coming!
Otto immediately ran out of the cargo hold.
*THUMP!* *WHAAAAM!*
*Screech!*
*BOOM!* *BANG!* *BOOOM!*
When he got up on deck, he saw a spectacular scene of the battle between the [Tyrant] and the Kraken.
It may not be from the point of view of the victim, but.
*Swiiiiiiissssshhh!!*
One of the Krakens tentacles whipped down with terrifying speed.
*SPPLAAASSSHH!!*
The tentacle missed the Red Goddess by a hairs breadth, striking the surface of the water and causing large waves to rise.
*Swiiiiiiissssshhh!!*
The Krakens giant tentacles flew out, aiming for the Red Goddess again.
If we get hit, well all die.
If this continues, the Red Goddess will be smashed to pieces.
The ships hull buckled.
*Thump!*
Otto used the recoil to launch himself into the air.
Ill protect my men.
To protect everyone aboard the Red Goddess.
Grow.
The [Golden Greatsword] extended like a staff.
Cut.
*SLICE!*
The [Golden Greatsword] sliced through the Krakens tentacles.
*CRAASSH!*
The severed tentacle fell away into the distance.
Success.
At that moment.
*Whoooooosh!*
A second tentacle of the Kraken lashed out and smacked Otto in midair.
Ack!
Otto was sent flying with a scream, only to plummet to the oceans surface and sink to its depths.
Though he had been struck by the Krakens tentacles, the force of his fall from such a great height had caused him to take a tremendous shock.
And Otto..
Your Majesty!!!
Camille shouted at the top of his lungs.
