Chapter 1693 1693. Boarding The Ship!

The waters seemed to bubble with undead monsters and animals. They were trying their best to attack the lifeboats but were constantly failing as the light swords slashed in to the water. The light affinity dragonkin were just as strong as when Walker had first met them. Every slash of their swords caused many of the undead monsters to fall to pieces.

These attacks were not the end of it though, the more powerful dragonkin had been able to awaken skills that normally only a guardian would have. This was due to their constant training when they were not in the main village.

Three of them together could breathe in the light mana that Rise had sent down from the higher skies toward them. This was the main reason she had done so. She did know the capabilities of her warriors. That being said, when the light breath was released, many of the undead were forced to be purified by it.

The attack didn't do much damage to the larger undead, but the smaller fish that had been brought back to life by the ghost ship were reduced to the ashy powder that they should have been by this time if they had decayed naturally in to sand.

The combined efforts of the dragonkin and Alice were proving to be immeasurable. They were allowing for Walker and a few water mages to work well together to move the lifeboats closer to the ghost ship. This also allowed the merfolk to finally take to the waters and start their own attack with the golems as their partners.

The golems and the merfolk had been waiting for a chance to get in to the water. The smaller fish had been their major issue since the swarm of them would be able to surround and destroy them easily. Without that worry, they could easily start to take on the larger undead monsters that were not as easy to defeat.

What is surprising was that a few of the healers were able to add a purifying aura to a blade of spear. This was not a skill that Walker had but wished he did immediately when she saw it. The reason being that those who had allowed a healer to add this buff to their weapon were cutting through tougher undead easily.

There were flashes of light that appeared under the waters as the undead sharks tried to attack the merfolk. These flashes of light were the spears being thrown through the water and piercing the bodies of the undead sharks. The merfolk would then swim with incredible speed to retrieve the spear and slice through the undead shark's body again.

The terrifying monster that the reef sharks were was completely ruined by being undead. They normally would be a tough and hard to handle monster. Their tough skin and their powerful jaws would cause many other monsters to quiver in fear. That was the same for the merfolk that had faced them before. Now, however, the reef sharks were undead. Their tough skin had rotted. Their strength was gone the moment that a purified spear touched them.

The ghost ship was right by the lifeboats now. The dragonkin did not hesitate to use their claws to stab in to the soft decaying wood and claw their way up. Walker used the wind to allow him to step right through the air with Alice in hand. As they landed on board they saw the many undead that had been brought on to the ship as a crew.

The roar of unintelligible words or growls just went to prove that there was no chance that any of these monsters were ever intelligent to begin with. Some of them were similar to the merfolk while other seemed to be strange decayed zombies of unknown races. Others were almost just skeletons which could have been human or any other bipedal race.

What was even scarier was the fact that some of the undead seemed to be newer. They were a bird like race that had wings but were missing fathers. It was terrifying. No one wanted to look directly at them at all. Even the analysis of the all round appraisal skill just labeled them as zombies controlled by the ghost ship captain.

The ghost ship captain was the most disgusting though. His face was a bloated and rotting mess. The Hair that fell was actually a type of seaweed that was eating through the undead captain while it rotted further.

The ghostly green and black aura around the undead captain was somewhere between life and death. It was mystery whether it was part of the mana or just a strange fog released through the constant decay of the undead ghost ship captain's body.

Furthermore, there were rotting clothes that seemed older than any other Walker had seen. If he had more knowledge, he would have recognized it as military attire for a navy that had long been left behind by history. Not that this was the focus of the attack. The true focus was to get through the undead that were now charging at them and defeat the captain.

The ship itself was moving still toward the ship's Walker had come from. It was perfectly aimed at attacking and boarding the ships to take them over as its own. This was the control of the ghost ship captain. The speed only increased when a ghoulish roar echoed from the ghost ship captain. It even raised a chipped and rusted sword toward them as it willed its undead crew to battle.

Alice's song grew in volume as the light of the stars themselves was being gathered. The process was slower but the strength was condensed right before their eyes. A wave of purifying light spread and started to show the true state of the zombies and the ship itself.

The ghost ship was barely held together but eh darkness mana and a great deal of seaweed. As soon as the purifying energy hit it, many pieces started to fall off the side. The zombies that were hit with the wave of purifying light mana were also substantially weakened. It let the dragonkin deflect their weakened attacks and slash through them.

For such a terrifying situation, Walker felt that they had been greatly prepared for such a battle. They had the right affinity fighters for it. The right amount of healers. And the right royal dragon to bolster their attacks. Now it was time for him and the light affinity dragonkin to attack the captain that was heading for them.

The added intelligence of the ghost ship captain was still nowhere near a real person. It was limited by the rotting body it inhabited. But that didn't mean it was stupid. It was able to bring the decaying darkness mana toward its chipped and rusted sword. The coating made everyone realize that it was a greater threat than it appeared.

Likewise, there was a wave of darkness mana that enveloped the undead it commanded. This was a buff to their attacks that started to push the dragonkin back slightly. It was unexpected that there would be this effect on them, however, Walker didn't feel like letting them have this moment at all.

With a single movement, two swords appeared in his hand and the light elemental mana from Alice's song coated them. Walker's entire body was supported by Alice who saw that he was about to charge in to battle himself. She would not be letting a single piece of the decaying mana around them touch the person she cared for. She was here to ensure that every single warrior came back without a single wound!

The two swords seemed to spark with lightning as Walker moved at a faster pace using the wind elemental mana around. He was using the lightning sword style to dash between and attack every single undead. The dragonkin that were assisted easily defeated their buffed opponents and followed Walker without hesitation. They were battling shoulder to shoulder with a royal dragon. The nature royal dragon. Hesitation would be an insult.

This momentum pushed Walker and the four dragonkin that had managed to keep up with him to the captain. What they didn't expect was that the undead ghost ship would not be a hollow shell. Instead of finding a captain that was weakened and waiting for battle, they found that the captain was slowly being surrounded by three coral octopuses.

they reared up with undead and rotting tentacles. Their bodies had been covered in coral to hide themselves in the coral reef. But they had still perished and become one with the ghost ship. Now they would face a living enemy with the ghost captain's commands. It was a sudden change yet again in the battle that Walker had not expected. But it was not a reason he would be losing.
