"Demon King... I, I also want to be able to fight like Lotte-sama!"

Although her face was pale, Tila still opened her purple demon eyes wide and begged Ella.

The one who came to Ella's rescue was Camisia, who had been focusing on the ship's defense.

"It's too early for you to think about this. If you really want to be as outstanding as the head maid, then just stand here and don't be afraid."

“Yes… yes!”

"Then Elu must accompany Tila too!"

Even though their small bodies still trembled with the sound of the explosion, no one returned to the cabin. Although Ella wanted to order them to go back, Iris stopped them with a look.

If you want to participate in battles in the future, this kind of scene is a process that you must go through. If you are afraid of this level alone, you will definitely not be able to become an excellent warrior in the future. Therefore, Camisia did this just to train the maid.

"Damn it! What kind of magic circle is on that ship?! Why aren't any of my attacks working?!"

"Even the fireball cast by the assistant was blocked?"

Amidst the roar of explosions and the crisp sounds of broken arrows, the pirates' slightly panicked voices were heard. So far, not even the first layer of the three-layer defense barrier set up by Camisia has been destroyed. However, if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand. The highest-level captain's assistant among the opponent's magic casters is only level 18. He can only cast first-level magic. It is natural that he cannot destroy the magic defense barrier that can defend against second-level magic.

In contrast, even without using powerful attack skills unique to Hela, such as "Armor-Piercing Bullets" and "Explosive Bullets", Lotte could still cause considerable damage to the pirates with simple magic such as "Lightning Direct Strike" or "Flame Shock". Therefore, the opponent's magic furnace should be quite weak, at least in terms of defensive magic output.

"Where's the Giant Turtle Shield? Hurry and get it out! With it, you won't be afraid of ranged attacks!"

After these words were uttered, a total of ten pirates carried out a dark green shield from the cabin that looked no different from a turtle shell. They set it up on the side of the hull facing Ella at a very slow speed.

"No need to change your target, let's test the power of that shield."

Seeing that Lotte frowned slightly and wanted to change her target, Ella wanted to test the effectiveness of the opponent's greatest reliance and let Lotte continue to attack.

"Alright, Ms. Ella, what kind of attack should we choose?"

"If I use 'Armor-Piercing Bullet', I feel like it might penetrate the shield and accidentally injure the people behind it, so why not just use 'Explosive Bullet'?"

"Yes, reload the Explosive Bomb."

boom.

Along with the orange-red flame coming out of Hela's gun muzzle, a magic bullet with a tail flame drew a perfect straight line in the air and exploded on the giant turtle shield.

“Ugh!”

"how is this possible!"

A huge wound appeared on the Giant Turtle Shield. Due to the impact of the explosion, all ten pirates who held up the Giant Turtle Shield were thrown to the other side of the deck. Several of the pirates fell into the sea because they were not pulled up by their companions in time. The Giant Turtle Shield also lost its support and smashed a mast on the ship like a giant's palm. The entire pirate ship suddenly lost order.

However, because there is a Deep Sea Lord to deter monsters in the sea, there are no monsters. In addition, the pirates' friends on the ship are also actively trying to rescue them, so those who fall into the sea should not encounter any problems.

"Uwaaaa! Ella-chan! We're about to collide! Quickly, get Teacher Camisia out of the way!"

As the two sides were less than thirty yards apart, and the pirates' ship looked several times the size of the cruise ship, Angeline hugged Ella's body with both hands and screamed as if the world was coming to an end.

Pushing away Angeline's breasts, which were completely out of shape for her age, Ella put her hands on her shoulders.

"Angelina, calm down. Camisia said it's going to be okay, so it's definitely okay. Camisia, focus your defenses on the bow and prepare for a collision. Angelina, Fukagan, the close combat from now on is up to you."

After the order was given, the defensive barrier at the bow began to thicken at an extremely fast speed. In the end, it was so thick that the density of the objects in front could not be seen clearly.

"How dare a small tourist boat attack our pirate ship with a ram? I'll show you what I can do!"

The pirate captain's shouts could be heard, but they didn't seem to be trying to escape.

Three digits, two digits, one digit.

"Everyone, grab whatever's around you!"

Although Ella warned them so, Camisia had already jumped into the air with two young maids between her legs, and Iris also used the magic combination of "Floating Technique" and "Flying" to float with the remaining maid.

Click click click.

With the sound of wood breaking, like a metal spear being driven into wood, Ella's pleasure boat pierced the bow of the pirate ship with unstoppable momentum.

Chapter 47: Violence

"Eh eh eh?"

"Ms. Ella!"

Grabbing Ella, who was about to fly away due to losing her balance, Lotte used her other hand to hold on tightly to the railing at the edge of the deck.

As the power gradually decreased, Ella and Lotte regained their footing on the deck.

"Thanks."

"No need to thank me, this is a maid's duty. Miss Angeline and Miss Fukagan have already jumped on the boat. Miss Ella, let's go and provide support."

“Hmm… but you said you were providing support… how did you get up there from such a high place…”

Just as Ella said, since the pirate ship is much taller than the cruise ship, the front end of the entire cruise ship is completely inserted into the lower warehouse part of the pirate ship, blocking the entire warehouse layer. Therefore, if you want to land on the pirate ship, you can only jump from the cruise ship deck to the pirate ship deck, and the height is at least ten meters.

"This height shouldn't be a problem for Ms. Fukama and Ms. Angelica. Ms. Fukama is already level 20 and can learn the magic that allows her to jump in the air. Ms. Angelica has an advantage in jumping, so it will be quite convenient for her."

"Yeah...that's right."

After softly agreeing with Lotte, Ella turned her gaze to the terrain search. The light spots representing Shen Gan and Angelica had come into contact with the pirates. It seemed that Angelica was given the task of clearing out ordinary pirates, while Shen Gan was going to look for the captain and his assistant who were heading to the treasure house.

Recalling the first time she met Angeline, who looked very hard-pressed to face nearly twenty thieves alone, Ella quickly gave Lotte strengthening magic and threw a rope with a metal grappling hook onto the pirate ship. Although she lacked survival skills, she still learned this basic climbing well in the academy.

"Surprisingly, there was only one person on board, a little girl. Hehehe, what a lucky find!"

Among the more than thirty pirates surrounding Angelina, one of them let out a disgusting laugh that made people sick to their stomachs.

Seeing his companion's carelessness, a middle-aged man who looked calm and composed shouted a warning.

"Don't be careless! He must be very powerful to come here alone."

“Ah, ah, have you been discovered? But there are so many of you, I have to prepare, huh? —『Berserk』.”

Although she was just standing there motionless like before, Angelini's whole aura had changed. The most obvious change was that her unusually pure sapphire eyes had turned a bright red.

If Ella focused on the terrain search at this moment, she would find that Angelica's basic stats were increasing at an extremely fast rate.

"It's a Berserker! Don't attack head-on! When the berserk time is up, you'll enter a weakened state. Just defend yourself!"

While the calm man shouted, he arranged for the pirates to put on shields and bows for diversion. After expanding the encirclement, he gave the order for the archers to attack.

Generally speaking, after a berserker goes into a frenzy, although his physical values ​​will increase greatly, his sanity will be greatly reduced. Not to mention that he will voluntarily give up defense, some people with low sanity will even attack their companions after eliminating the enemy. Moreover, after the frenzy period ends, he will fall into an extremely weak period.

Generally speaking, if you cannot guarantee that you have absolutely trustworthy companions behind you, this skill can only be used in a desperate battle.

But this is just a general theory. As an elf close to nature, Angeline is protected by nature, so even if she uses "Berserk", she will not lose her mind. As for the weakness after the state, it can be offset by deducting a large amount of magic power.

Of course, all of this was just Angeline's own statement. Ella didn't know the real situation, because there had never been an elf in history that could use berserk power - or rather, there had never been a warrior-type elf in history, so no one could verify whether the specific answer was true.

"put!"

"That's too slow~"

Angeline nimbly dodged the arrows flying towards her and kept jumping on the deck. The sparsely distributed arrows flew through the gaps between them, and those that were too dense to dodge were cut off with the scythe. Since these arrows were not the type that would explode after being cut off, there was no need to worry about her vision being blocked by the smoke from the explosion.

If the pirates sprinkled powder on the deck to block vision at this time, it would be difficult for Angelini to dodge. Although there is the option of relying on other sensory organs to sense arrows, that is not something Angelini can achieve. In Angelini's impression, only Instructor Camisia can rely on non-visual senses to dodge arrows in such a noisy environment. Even Shen Gan, who is faster than herself, can't do it.

But unfortunately, the option of blocking vision is also very dangerous for pirates. If they shoot randomly because they lose their target, they will end up attacking their companions and making things worse. So generally speaking, it is much easier for Angelini to dodge these arrows than it was for her to dodge the "giant thornless vines" in the Holy Academy.

"Captain, you're totally missing!"

"[Giant Scythe Slash]!"

“Ah!”

Compared to the predicament of the pirates being completely unable to hit Angelini, each of Angelini's attacks could knock away the pirates holding round shields. Moreover, due to the excessive force, the wooden shields with poor workmanship would even be directly cracked by the back of the sickle. Only the shield tower with steel embedded inside could barely resist the attack. However, due to the huge gap in strength between the shield holder and Angelini, once touched by Angelini, his hands would tremble constantly due to the huge force.

"H-How is that possible! Where's the kerosene? Bring me some!"

"But that would set the deck on fire!"

"Don't worry about that, just deal with this monster first!"

"yes!"

It seemed like a strategy to coat the arrow with kerosene to distract Angeline, who had shot it down, so she could dodge the flames.

During the time when his men went to get kerosene, at least ten pirates lost their combat effectiveness due to contact with Angelica.

"Captain, we've got the kerosene!"

"Apply it to your arrows and prepare to attack!"

"I won't give you that chance, huh? 'Ice Hockey'."

Like raindrops, transparent spheres shot out from the edge of the deck one after another - it's not that a salvo couldn't be done, but that would cause unnecessary trouble - without exception, all hit the pirates in the face, and then, as the pirates groaned in pain, they were dealt with by Angeline holding a giant scythe and Lotte holding two daggers.

With the addition of Ella and Lotte, the entire battlefield was immediately cleared in a one-sided manner.

The bright red in her eyes gradually faded, and Angeline's lovely sapphire-like pupils recovered. After glancing around the quiet surroundings, she held the giant sickle in one hand and scratched her long brown hair embarrassedly.

"Thank you, Ella-chan, Lotte-chan. If it weren't for you, it would have been much harder to handle. But I should have let Ella-chan cast the enhancement spell first. After getting used to the enhancement spell, I've become quite dependent on it."

With Ella's stun bomb as the final blow, even if the pirates were not tied up with ropes, these low-level pirates would fall into a deep sleep for at least an hour.

"Yes, Miss Ella should have cast the strengthening magic first. Facing so many enemies alone without any support is a bit reckless, isn't it, Miss Angeline?"

"Hey, Fuka-chan asked me to deal with these people and try to drag them out, but before I knew it, so many people showed up—uh, now's not the time to talk about that, we should go check on Fuka-chan!"

With a terrible look on her face, Angeline immediately picked up the scythe and prepared to rush into the cabin not far away.

Ella quickly grabbed Angeline's shoulders and pulled her back.

"Angeline, rest here first. Leave the deep orange to me and Lotte. It'll be fine."

“Uh-huh…but…”

"Miss Angeline's magic power hasn't fully recovered yet, right? And the scythe isn't a weapon suitable for use in tight spaces, so it's safer to leave it to Miss Ella and me, right?"

Seeing Lotte's smile that didn't seem to contain any lie at all, Angeline hesitated for a moment and nodded reluctantly.

"Okay...but, Lotte-chan and Ella-chan, please be careful too, okay?"

"Well, then, see you later. I'll leave the remaining pirates outside to Angeline."

After waving to Angelina, Ella, wearing "Miracle of Healing," and Lotte, wearing "Hail of the Elves," jumped into the cabin together.

Chapter 48 Assassination Techniques

Due to the size of the ship itself, the corridors of the entire cabin are extremely narrow. In some places, only two people can pass each other. However, this design gives the pirate captain a sense of security - he will not encounter enemies who attack from unknown directions. Even if he is attacked from behind, the squeaking sound of boots on the wooden floor will remind him of the presence of enemies.

Now the captain and his assistant are walking towards the treasure house, where a dimensional backpack is kept. It contains a large number of collectible artworks, weapons and equipment that are extremely rare on the market, and magic potions. There are at least three bottles of high-level magic potions that are monopolized by the state. It can be said that the things in the backpack already account for half of the pirates' total property.

"Boss, are you going to try to escape next?"

The young man who was the assistant asked the captain a question. Sneak into the cabin with only him like this was a sign of escape no matter how you looked at it. From the assistant's point of view, this was completely unbelievable. So the assistant, who still had a glimmer of hope, thought that the captain was going to take him to the treasure house to get high-quality weapons to defeat the patrol.

The captain frowned gloomily.

"If we don't run, are we going to die? Those people are obviously elite soldiers from Dragon Island disguised as ordinary people. No, they are likely the level of the Dragon King's personal guard. Every one of them is above level 15, and the captain is definitely a strong man above level 20 or even 30. We can't resist them."

Having said that, the captain took a deep breath, looked up at the low ceiling, and slowly exhaled.

"This day has finally come. I knew we'd be targeted by the people from Dragon Island, but I didn't expect it to come so soon."

"Thirty levels?! Boss, what should we do next?"

"After that... the money in the dimensional backpack is enough to live on for the rest of my life. I'll find a remote place and buy a lordship. Once I become a noble, I'll find a way to redeem my brothers who were captured and sold into slavery. That will be enough."

"Becoming a noble..."

The assistant's eyes shone with envy. Being able to enjoy privileges like a noble was something he had never thought of before. The assistant urged the captain anxiously.

"Boss, let's get there quickly, or we'll be caught by those Dragon Island bastards who arrive."

"Ahh, hurry up, it's a pity for the slaves left behind in the base."

After making up their minds, the two began to shuttle through the passage that was as complicated as an ant nest. After running for a full ten minutes, they finally arrived at the place where the treasure was hidden - a piece of unremarkable floor.

The captain took off the key hanging on his chest and knocked it on the floor with a very regular rhythm. After a while, a black hole in the shape of a keyhole appeared on the floor. He inserted the key into the hole. Along with the clicking sound of gears engaging, a door that did not exist originally appeared on the side of the corridor not far away.

"Quick! Go get the dimensional backpack out. It's quiet up there. It won't be long before those people find us here. Let's jump out through the secret door!"

“Yes… yes!”
