Chapter 103"Everyone, come over!"
"Its just one guy!"
Dozens of pirates jumped up on the deck.
It was an overwhelming difference in numbers. And yet, Pinch opened his subspace with a very calm face.
He took out a small vial the length of his finger, removed the cork, and drank the contents.
As he burped, the skin on his back started to boil.
"Kill him!"
Just as the pirate rushing in first was about to swing his sword, green tentacles spewed out from Pinch's back before grabbing the pirate by the face, and slamming him into the deck with a
"......!"
"What?"
The pirates stopped in their tracks. Light-green tentacles reminiscent of a jellyfishs were rising from Pinchs back.
"Oh my"
Pinch gave a creepy smile.
"Is this your first time fighting a necromancer?"
"You bastard!"
"Get him!"
The pirates jumped in at the same time. Several tentacles lurched forth in response.
It was a one-sided massacre.
The tentacles were elastic, and he could freely control their length. While dealing with dozens of people on his own, Pinch stood relaxed, not having to move a single step.
'His guard is down!'
A pirate who broke through the side of the tentacles aimed his crossbow at the back of Pinch's head and fired.
The crossbow bolt struck its target.
"There we go! Got him!"
The pirate shouted in joy.
"Bwahaha! Serves you right. Show o Hm?"
Pinch moved his arm. He grabbed the end of the boltit had pierced through his skull and come out the other end between his eyesand he pulled it out as it was, tossing it to the ground.
A few drops of a green substance fell on the deck where there shouldve been blood.
Before anyone realised, Pinch's face had turned into a green liquid.
"You thought you got me?"
Pinch, who had thrown the bolt on the floor, restored to his original state as the liquid rushed together to form his face.
"Y-Youre crazy!"
"What kind of monster is this bastard?!"
Pinchs tentacles flew in like whips and grabbed the crossbow pirate's legs, throwing him overboard. The terrible scream of the pirate echoed in the distance, and soon, the sound of him splashing into the water could be heard.
In the meantime, a pirate ran in from the side and cut Pinch's waist, but what seeped out of the wound was green, not red, and Pinch didn't look like he took any damage.
"What in the fuck are y Kuhugh!"
Pinch shot his arm out and grabbed the pirate's face.
"K-Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!"
You could hear the terrible sound of smoke rising and flesh melting. After a while, the pirates entire head had melted, and only the body fell to the floor.
The pirates who saw that scene started backing in fright.
"Are you getting the hang of it now?"
Pinch made a crooked smile.
"Thats who you bastards turned against."
Pinch was overwhelmingly strong. He took all his opponents' attacks like they were nothing and used his tentacles to throw dozens of people into the sea or wrapped them around their necks to break their bones. He even scattered poison smoke while fighting.
From physical attacks to wide-range chemical attacks, the pirates couldn't stand a chance and started to fall.
"C-Captain!"
One pirate tried to read Guile's countenance through his own terror.
"We're no match! I think you'll have to take action, Capt!"
"Shut up, you bastard!"
Said Guild as he kicked the pirate's ass.
"Hurry up and fight! Or shall I kill you first?"
"N-No Captain!"
While cornering the pirates into this deadly situation, Guile, no, Elizabethwho had turned into Guilewas sweating profusely.
'What kind of body does he have?'
Pinch's body turned to liquid and flowed around any attack he recieved. Elizabeth's spider web bind and wide-range penetrating attacks probably wouldnt work.
It wouldn't just be a dark magic spell that turned the body into a liquid. He would have paid a huge price to have that body. Elizabeth could feel it.
'For now, if I let the Count escape and run Huh?'
It was then. Suddenly, Elizabeth felt her vision spinning violently, and she felt a terrible dizziness.
She fell to a knee. Yet the pirates seemed fine.
"It finally worked."
Pinch was walking towards her, taking down the small fry.
"How does it feel? Undead."
Elizabeth was surprised. In addition to being discovered as a fake, he also figured out that she's an undead.
"I have a good nose, you see."
"Undeads got this distinct smell. And I know you're a strong one who's incomparable to Guile."
"......"
"That potion is a reagent that I've developed myself that only works on Undead. I mixed it into this poison mist and sea fog and spread it around in the form of a gas. It's colorless, odorless, and has no effect in small doses. Still, it gradually accumulates in the body, and the moment it exceeds a certain threshold, the effect appears all at once."
Elizabeth stood up. She staggered, but firmly held her stance.
"This won't do, this won't do."
Pinch frowned.
"In my thesis, I wrote that if an amount of 4,760ppm or more is injected into an undead, they can be completely neutralized, but to see an outlier right in front of me?
Tentacles rose wildly from Pinch's back.
"You'll have to die for the integrity of my re
It was like a water droplet fell into a pond.
Simon was just a small drop of water, and Pier was a massive pond.
The water droplet was starting to get swallowed in the pond, and the presence of Simon slowly blurred.
[Focus, Boy.]
Pier's voice could be heard.
[Don't get swallowed by my thoughts. Focus on your mind. Keep your will when in the will of others.]
'Yes.'
Before his consciousness could be swallowed, Simon quickly tried to restore his mind and recognize himself.
'Focus. Focus. Focus.'
On the calm and clear surface of the pond, the falling water droplet caused a ripple.
The growing ripple soon became a wave, the wave became a torrent, and the torrent became a new tide.
The pond began to swirl like a whirlpool.
Pier beamed ear to ear.
[Kuhehehehe! As expected from the son of Richard! Perfect!]
Simon had left the mindscape and returned to the original world.
Countless bones forming the huge body of Pier that stood taller than 2 meters were broken in the air and began to stick to Simon's body one after another.
The bones of Pier embraced the body of Simon and started forming the upper body and lower body.
On his back was the shapeless cape that Pier wore, and one half of Pier's skull sat on Simon's face and turned into a skull helmet.
The eye socket of the skull helmet fell over Simons right eye, and the dark-blue flame inside burned.
The large, shapeless cape had completely settled on Simon's shoulders.
Pier's hand bones covered Simon's palms and turned into his gloves. But only his right arm was covered in Pier's bones, leaving Simon's left hand empty.
Bone Armor was made out of two sets of skeletons. As such, the number of bones was lacking with the body of Pier alone, so only the right side of the head and arms were covered.
Nevertheless
Simon felt a thrilling power he had never before experienced in his life.
As tentacles rushed in from all directions, Simon walked forward and grabbed the handle of Pier's greatsword that was stabbed on the floor.
As though welcoming the owner, the greatsword that he once couldn't even lift could now be carried with ease.
Pier's voice was heard.
[Let's do this, Boy!]
Simon smiled and raised the Greatsword of Destruction.
