Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 40 Rainbow Under Blood

Boom boom boom!
A dozen or so short arrows shot swiftly toward Yaro, but he parried them all, and they struck the wooden board with a crisp sound.

But Yaro has already successfully gotten close.

In just a moment, countless grappling hooks had already reached the edge of the deck. More than a dozen muscular pirates, shirtless and with short knives in their mouths, and some with thick ropes wrapped around their waists, excitedly and rapidly climbed upwards like a group of agile monkeys.

Yaro lifted the wooden board, quickly glanced at it, and, relying on his powerful reflexes, swiftly calculated the result.

The pirate on the third rope from the right is the fastest climber!
"drink!"

The knight's longsword struck the grappling hook's rope, and the strange feel made Yaro slightly pale.

It is a rope made by drying and rubbing cowhide, soaking it in oil, drying it repeatedly, and then binding it tightly in alternating ways!
This is a method used to make leather armor, yet it's being used to make grappling hook ropes!

Ropes are very effective against chopping, but not much better at cutting than ordinary ropes. In this situation, who has time to slowly cut?

"Charge! Kill them!"

"Kill! For the Knight's Potion!"

"For my beautiful wife!"

……

The pirates' frenzied shouts were almost upon them!
Squeak, squeak!
The pirates climbed with increasing force, their grappling hooks leaving fine scratches on the hardwood deck.

Noticing the sound, Yaro glanced at it out of the corner of his eye. Just as he was about to turn his head, a strange discovery made him happy.

The claw was dark in color, and it was actually forged from pig iron!

The knight's longsword in Yaro's hand was the best among all of his grandfather's collection. Although he wouldn't dare say it could cut through iron like mud, it wouldn't be much more difficult to cut through pig iron than it could to cut through hardwood.

clang!
The knight's longsword whistled sharply as it swiftly struck the grappling hook in front of him.

Swish!
The headless rope, carrying a piece of pig iron, was swiftly launched into the air, nearly hitting Yaro who was standing nearby.

"what!"

A desperate scream came from outside the ship, followed by a heavy crash.

bump!
Considering the massive ropes binding their waists, Yaro guessed that the sound was likely from the pirate hitting their ship.

Given the distance between the two ships, an average person falling from mid-air onto the ship would be nearly killed, if not killed outright. It seems that as long as more grappling hooks are severed, the pirates' strength can be weakened quickly!
With the plank on his head, Yaro moved swiftly, slashing at the different grappling hooks in succession.

The grappling hooks were in different positions. Some of them circled the mast several times after being thrown up. Cutting the grappling hooks alone was no longer useful. Yaro did not force it and only cut the grappling hooks that were not properly hooked in order to reduce the number of pirates rushing up as soon as possible.

At this moment, several other teenagers also picked up planks and rushed up, but their weapons and strength were insufficient to continuously cut the flying claws.

He chopped at the leather rope a couple more times, but found it had no effect whatsoever, and was momentarily at a loss.

Yaro, who had just looked up, noticed the situation and hurriedly shouted, "Quick, get your long weapons and stab those pirates who are about to charge at us!"

"okay!"

The boys then realized what was happening, turned around, and haphazardly pushed against the planks, rushing towards the edge of the deck.

Since many pirates were already climbing onto the deck, the hurled arrows stopped, thus sparing the impetuous youths from being hit.

Despite their young age, the island's chaotic environment had left them with a history of life and death. Now, armed with spears and clubs, they fought with equal decisiveness.

"kill!"

"Ahhh!"

"Die!"

Blood splattered, staining the boys' tender faces red, and the screams and sounds of collisions that rang out from time to time confirmed their gains.

But this situation didn't last long. Soon, a trainee behind them cried out in despair, "The pirates are coming!"

As the first pirate charged forward, it was as if a breach had been made, and more and more pirates followed suit.

"Hahaha! Kill them!"

"Come on, come on!"

"Pull the rope! Pull the rope now!"

The pirates cheered, and various noises continued to emanate from the scene.

"You bunch of little brats think you can stop me? Die!"

Faced with the pirates' attack, how could these teenagers possibly resist? One boy was slightly slower to retreat, and his tender head was immediately severed.

Swish!
Bright red blood spurted several meters high!

The spurting blood fell like a light rain, slowly dripping down and staining the sky with a cruel crimson ribbon.

A vibrant life is slipping away.

The pirates were still in pursuit. These teenagers, who were fighting on a ship for the first time, had no chance of outrunning the dark-skinned pirates.
"what!"

"it hurts!"

"Do not kill me!"

……

The various screams, mixed with the shrieks of the cowards, further fueled the pirates' cruel emotions.

"Happy!"

"Don't take it, it's mine!"

"Oh dear, there's a woman too!"

"Get out of here! Don't try to take it from me! I'm going to cut her stomach open!"

With a sinister grin, blood splattered everywhere, and entrails and severed limbs flew about. The small group that had been prepared behind them immediately pressed forward, and the rows of long spears and clubs barely managed to squeeze the pirate into this corner.

Just then, a pirate who had just climbed onto the deck spotted Yaro and immediately shouted, "Over here, there's another guy trying to cut the grappling hook!"

"Another little brat, this one is mine!"

As the activated 'Cat-Shaped Fist - Running' technique was activated, Yaro immediately sensed something being thrown at him. With a start, he pushed off with his legs, maintained his balance, and quickly moved sideways.

Boom!
A short gun was embedded in the wooden wall, its butt still swaying slightly.

Sigh, I was hoping to cut off a few more grappling hooks to reduce the number of pirates coming later.

It seems that fighting is the only option now.

However, given the current situation, whether or not the grappling hook is removed or not doesn't make much of a difference.

With that thought in mind, Yaro quickly turned around. His 'Run' skill was activated to its maximum, and subtle movements around him constantly entered his consciousness. Holding his breath and concentrating, his neural reflexes were fully activated, and the surrounding scenery gradually slowed down in Yaro's eyes.

He crouched slightly—and raised his sword.

Advanced skill - Thrust!

With a push from his hind legs, he spread his body out and thrust out his longsword.

The longsword in Yaro's hand seemed to teleport, flying nearly three meters in the blink of an eye.

Advanced skill - Uppercut!

Simple moves become deadly and dazzling in Yaro's hands.

As the sword flashed, the pirate's belly split open, and blood flowed out along with his pink intestines.

Bang!

The pirate fell to the ground, clutching his stomach and howling in pain.

“Ahhhhh——!”

Now that he had made his move, Yaro had no intention of hiding anything. He had deliberately avoided striking the pirate's throat with that attack, intending to injure him. With the sensory abilities granted by his 'Cat-Shaped Fist - Climbing Tree' technique, he was certain that the attack had severed the pirate's spinal cord, rendering the pirate incapacitated!
"What's the ghost's name?"

Swish!
A flash of light, a severed head flew off, and the pirates' expressions grew even more fanatical, their cruel smiles and bloodthirsty stares fixed on Yaro.

Yaro raised an eyebrow slightly; his plan had actually fallen through!

"Go! Kill him!"

A junior leader immediately gave the order, and the surrounding pirates charged towards Yaro without fear.

"Oh oh oh!"

"kill!"

Everything on the deck was put to use by the pirates. One pirate even grabbed the rope on the mast and, like a leaping monkey, swung his axe at Yaro.

Oh?
Can you still play like this?
The master-level 'Cat-Shaped Fist - Running' allowed Yaro to have a 360-degree view, with all the surrounding scenery reflected in his mind.

With his powerful reflexes, Yaro quickly spotted the weakness in their attack.

ground!

"You trash, die!"

Head bowed, body bent, hands gripping the sword hilt tightly, sword held horizontally in a half-circle!

Advanced skill - Slash!

"what!"

The sword flashed by, and like slicing a radish, Yaro's sword directly severed seven thighs, while simultaneously dodging the axe that came crashing down from mid-air.

As for why it's an odd number?

Because the last pirate avoided a step at the last moment.

"die!"

One of the pirates facing Yaro's fall had a particularly ferocious expression, and thrust his short spear toward the back of Yaro's head.

But how could he possibly pierce Central Asia at such a speed of fall?

Moreover, without the power of his legs, how could he possibly be a match for Yaro, relying solely on the momentum of his fall?

Advanced skill - Parry!

clang!
The knight's longsword slashed out with the momentum!

Swish!
The spurting hot blood drenched Yaro's head.

He quickly grabbed the pistol with his left hand to prevent the pirate from retaliating in his dying moments, and at the same time pushed the pirate to his feet.

"Go away!"

With a roar, his muscles bulged, and using the corpse as armor to block subsequent attacks, Yaro leaped to the railing at the edge of the deck.

"Pull! Pull harder!"

On the pirate ship, the one-eyed captain was shouting encouragement. The two ships were getting closer and closer. Out of the corner of his eye, Yaro saw that some pirates on the pirate ship had already raised a huge wooden ladder with hooks.

Siege ladder?
No wonder they kept closing the distance between the two ships; it turns out there's something like this.

But why not use a rope ladder?
Yaro had no time to deal with those things, because seven or eight pirates were eyeing him.

"Surround him!"

"Watch out, don't let him jump into the sea!"

"No, let him jump, let's see how far he can swim!"

……

Jump into the sea?

Isn't that just waiting to die?
Ignoring everything else, Yaro ran quickly along the narrow deck railing.

Although his agility was not low, the pirates were tall and strong. Even though their pace was not as fast as Yaro's, each of their steps covered a distance one-third wider than Yaro's. In addition, their running speed on the narrow railing was not high, and the distance between the two was closing.

"You little bastard, stop right there! I'll have your grandpa rip your guts out!"

"Hurry up, or I'll grab you!"

Whoosh!
Whizzing!

The pirates continued to shout on the surface, but secretly they were throwing various weapons.

Throwing knives, pistols, and spiked balls!

All sorts of insidious tactics were employed one after another!
It's as if Yaro has eyes in the back of his head; even when running on his back, he can easily dodge and avoid these attacks.

close!

As Yaro watched the approaching mast, he recalled various details from the deck.

The mast was only a little over a meter away from the deck railing, which I could easily jump over. After jumping over, I only needed to climb up two meters to jump to the high platform on the other side!

It's now!

Yaro narrowed his eyes, gripped the knight's lance tightly with his left hand, and swiftly leaped into the air. As he approached the mast, his right hand slid rapidly, like a snake, quickly wrapping around the mast. As he drew near, he crossed his legs, his body directly adhering to the mast's shaft.
