Ride Of The Valkyries (3)
[Styr's POV]
*BOOM*
"Superhero landing! Haha! It sure hurts like hell. Anyway! Daddy is home, bitches!"
*crack* *crack* *craeaeaeack*
*splash*
The fore sail got broken then fell down in the water with a loud creaking sound.
"Oh! Thaaat was broken before I landed! Totally not my fault here!"
The man who landed on the ship like a bolt of lightning spoke to himself.
He is a tall man wearing a fur armor under a sleeveless robe that was fluttering with the wind, his arm was exposed and only covered in bracers, he was also wearing a hood but his head showed some long red strands of hair.
And he is very powerful!
The ship was still shaking up and down from his landing just now.
"Eee! Eeeek!"
"Monster! No!"
"Ge, get away!"
The crew men around the place where the man landed started shouted and crying in hysterical manner!
What is that?
He got to their heads this fas...
No!
That's an Aura!
He is an Aura Master?
The man looked at the crewmen collapsing around him with an astonished expressions!
"Hey! I am no monster! I am a good person! Here let me help you stand up."
The man said so and approached one of the crewmen but to find him already fainted.
"Oh! How sad! To mistake me for a monster." He made another self monolog. "I admit that I do kill sometimes... or maybe more than I should... Actually, I kill a lot! But point is, I don't kill people. See! I only kill monsters!" He was walking while talking and the crewmen were retreating.
"Now, our dear little merry band of pirates! What the fuck are you doing in my turf?" The
This crazy person! Where did he come from?
"Don't be afraid, men! He is only using magic, don't fear magic, he is only one man!" My old quartermaster saw the hesitation on my face and started rallying the men! I am thankful but I think I am still worried.
"Kill him!"
"Kill him before the others arrive!"
The men were finally getting their cool back but...
"Waaaaait!" The man raised his hands and shouted.
Everyone waited for some reason.
"You guys got me! I admit it! I was only using some Illusions!"
What? No that was an Aura, you are just not emitting it anymore.
I wanted to refute but the man kept talking.
"To think you guys can notice it on your own! Bravo! Amazing! Everyone, pat on the back, pat on the back *pat* *pat*. I salute you, guys!"
What is he doing?
"You guys are already outnumbering me like... a whole damn ship to one, but I will not fall easily and you know that! I can take a lot of you down before you manage to kill me."
The man said that as his Aura started to rise steadily.
"But I have a better solution!" He said, "I will ask you guys a question, and if anyone of you answers correctly, I'll surrender!"
What! Is he crazy?
He is playing dumb! I can tell.
"The question is, 'Three words, Eight letters, you say them, and I surrender'!"
"....."
Eh?
Is he, is he in the right mind?
What kind of dumb question is that?
We have over a hundred man, someone must have heard it...
Wait!
This guy!
He is...
He is smart!
He is asking us a question about literacy!
Most of the pirates here can't even read or write!
They are already looking at each other and being overwhelmed by the man!
Some of them are even looking at me for an answer!
Dammit!
I know how to read and write but... but if I can't answer such a simple question then my image, it will be tarnished!
I should answer!
No, I must to answer!
This is bad! How can he put us in such a situation with only words.
This guy is not an easy opponent!
"I know it!" One of our men shouted!
"Really? Let me hear it?"
Before he could answer I interrupted. "A hundred gold if you answered right!"
This was all I can offer! Hehe, men will do anything if I offered such a reward!
"Haha! Thank you, Captain! The answer is: I Got Gold!"
Smart!
"Wrong!" The man said making an X with his arms.
Eh!
Right, why would he surrender to that?
"I Got Food!"
"Wrong!"
"I Got Mead!"
"Another time perhaps!"
"It's a trap!"
"Sigh! I wish."
