Chapter 64 - Explosion

Peigan once again started to enchant equipments for Sheyan.

Sheyan opened the panel once again.

'The price has really skyrocketed at this tier of enchantments, my previous thinking of having too much utility points was really naive, with current price even the cheapest enchantment of extra round chamber will take 900000 utility points for 300 enchantments. It's good that Peigan took a liking to liquid metal or I would have to run to make Guineas as soon as possible.' Sheyan thought to himself.

'After I complete the mission, I will go and earn more guineas, utility points aren't enough to buy enchantment scrolls. I am sure the price of a weapon attack +100 enchantment worth 3000 guineas would be at least 80000 utility points. After all for a normal contestant the price of this scroll would be 60000 utility points, but I am getting a 50% discount from Peigan so it's just 30000 for me. Selling that scroll in the nightmare realm means I will make a profit of 50000 utility points per scroll, but if I buy all the scrolls with Guineas then I would make a full profit of 80000 utility points per scroll. Jehahahahaha.' Thinking of this a big smile appeared on Sheyan's face, his crazy laugh almost leaked out.

'I have 200000 or so Guineas after looting those pirate ships, enough to buy at least 5 scrolls of each enchantment except the weapon compartment one.' Sheyan calculated.

'Gotta extend my time in this world.' Sheyan made up his mind to find side missions as quickly as possible after completing the main mission.

As Sheyan was thinking of more plans and places he might have a chance to find side missions, Peigan completed the enchantments of storyline equipments.

"My lord it's done, a total of 52 enchantments." Peigan spoke respectfully to Sheyan.

"Good, Charl go and call 2 of those guys inside and ask them to bring these equipments outside." Sheyan nodded towards Peigan then spoke to Charl.

"Yes sir." Charl replied and walked outside.

Two pirates came inside, after bowing to Sheyan they picked up the equipments laying on the table and bought them outside, it took them two turns to bring everything outside.

Sheyan picked up the two liquid metal guns lying on the table.

After absorbing the guns in his clothes, he conjured up three two black barreled guns and opened their property panels.

'As expected, liquid metal guns doesn't need to be enchanted again n again, after enchanting just one gun, I can just conjure more enchanted versions of it.' Sheyan thought with a smile after seeing that panel of both guns were the same and had the enchanted status.

Previously he gave one black barreled gun and 4 mini Uzi to Peigan just to make up numbers because every enchantment needed to be bought five times.

"Woah, I am super fast hahahahaha!"

"The sword captain gave me seems even sharper than before, I feel like it can cut anyone like butter jiehehehe."

Clamouring of pirates reached Sheyan's ear, Sheyan decided to go out and see.

As Sheyan stepped out of the door, pirates who were clamouring loudly instantly quietened down.

"These things have been enchanted by the Alchemist, swords and daggers have become sharper, now cutting a person with a single slice is as easy as slicing a bar of butter, those shirts have become even sturdier now, after wearing them even if you got shot by 4 5 bullets from normal pirates you won't die, those footwears have become more magical, wearing them can increase your movement speed more than twice." Sheyan explained the strength of the enchanted equipments to pirates slowly and clearly.

"Even bullets can be blocked!" Pirates exclaimed loudly and some of them looked at the pirates who got shirts as the gift from Sheyan.

"Yeah even bullets can be blocked." Sheyan nodded.

Sheyan wasn't exaggerating, after all a normal bullet only dealt 50 or so damage at most, for a normal human it was lethal since a normal human's HP is only 50 points but the equipment enchanted by Peigan increased the defence of wearer by 8 points and can reduce the attack by 25 points and those equipments got their own effects too like increasing defence or HP.

A normal person's Physics is 5 points, which means 2.5 points of defence. After wearing the shirt it's 10.5 points of defence. 10 points of defence can reduce the damage by approx 28.5% so if the wearer got shot by a bullet which can deal 50 points of damage, then first it will be reduced to 25 points of damage then that 25 points of damage will be once again reduce by 28.5% leaving only 18 points of damage.

And this is without taking the original properties of the equipments into consideration, which will reduce the incoming damage even further.

"Now after equipping these things, You all can finally be compared with normal pirates on legendary ships." Sheyan spoke with a smile.

Hearing these words from Sheyan's mouth, All the pirates got stunned for a moment.

After a moment, they finally came back to their senses and cheered loudly.

"Hahahaha, we are as strong as those guys on legendary ships!"

"All thanks to our captain!"

"We were just rookies at this point of time yesterday but now we directly become as strong as those hellish guys."

"Captain is really a god!"

Pirates cheered while praising Sheyan more n more.

"Okay shut it." Sheyan interrupted the fierce commotion with a word, pirates stopped immediately, their respect for Sheyan has greatly surpassed the fear they felt when they met Sheyan for the first time.

"Captain, I am back." A voice came from behind the group of Pirates, they moved to the side to reveal the panting Mongor standing behind them.

"Here it is captain." Mongor stepped forward and presented Sheyan a silvery brick.

"Good job, you can go and take a rest now." Sheyan nodded with appreciation and took the block from Mongor's hand.

Although Mongor's speed increased after wearing the enchanted shoes, his stamina is still the same, making a round trip from ship to Peigan's laboratory tired him out.

Mongor revealed a big smile after hearing the appreciation in Sheyan's voice and lightly went back to the side and sat down on the ground.

Sheyan looked at the pirates standing in front of him and willed the mini Uzis in their possession to come back to him.

Pirates looked on as the gun on their body became liquid once again and moved to Sheyan and merged with the Silvery block in his hand.

Sheyan entered the laboratory once again.

His clothes also separated a lot of liquid metal which merged with the block, he only left a little bit on his body which was in the form of his pants.

As Sheyan was going to give the block to Peigan, a thought struck him.

"Hey Charl, Krist, can you separate the liquid metal from your bodies without affecting yourself?" Sheyan turned to Charl and Krist and asked.

"Yes sir, we have a very large amount of liquid metal in our body, only 10% of that amount is sufficient for us, separating the other 90% won't have any effect on us." Charl replied to Sheyan.

Sheyan remembered that he merged 3 T-1000 with each of them, A T-1000's whole body is liquid metal, while T-X has an alloy exoskeleton which is the main body and the liquid metal is used only as an outer layer.

"Separate the excess liquid metal and let it merge with the block." Sheyan spoke after remembering the things.

"Yes sir" Charl and Krist answered and separated a large amount of liquid metal from their bodies, separated liquid metal moved and merged with the block in Sheyan's hand.

Peigan who was looking at the scene revealed an extremely shocked look and his thrust for liquid metal intensified, such a magical thing, he was sure if he researched this, he would become the strongest alchemist in the world.

"Peigan, use the Miracle Alchemy on this block." Sheyan gave the block of liquid metal to Peigan.

"Yes my lord." Peigan took the block of liquid metal with trembling hands and carefully placed it on the table, like he was handling a new born baby.

He walked to a corner and opened a secret compartment in the wall, from there he took out three vials filled with strange liquid.

He moved back to the table and opened the vials, he poured a little bit of liquid from the three vials on the liquid metal.

A minute passed but no change happened.

Peigan looked at the vials with a look full of pain then poured all of the content in the vials on liquid metal.

The strange liquid didn't fall anywhere else but got absorbed by the liquid metal.

Liquid metal shone with a blinding light, Peigan closed his eyes and covered them with his hand.

Sheyan also closed his eyes.

After a minute, light subsided and Sheyan opened his eyes.

Sheyan looked at the table and found two silvery blocks laying on the table.

"Did it succeed?" Sheyan asked, his voice filled with excitement.

"Yes, my lord." Peigan answered respectfully, although he still felt hurt from losing all of his treasured potion after all he saved those three vials for all his life, but now all of it was used but thinking about the effects of liquid metal, he felt better.

Sheyan willed the liquid metal to move towards him but only one block moved.

Sheyan frowned and walked to the table.

He picked up the other block and inspected it.

"There doesn't seem to be a problem..." Sheyan muttered then a thought appeared in his mind.

"Oh this newly conjured liquid metal might not be under my control yet." Sheyan muttered then willed the liquid metal under his control to swallow the newly conjured liquid metal block.

After a minute, liquid metal completely merged and Sheyan could feel the volume of liquid metal has almost quadrupled, after all this liquid metal also contained the liquid metal he got from Charl and Krist.

He separated one fourth of the liquid metal and sent it back to Charl and Krist, although it was lesser than they gave but they don't need too much of it anyway.

Then he separated a small drop and made it inflate to become the size of a standard gold biscuit.

"Here is your reward Peigan." Sheyan gave the biscuit to Peigan.

Peigan took it with extreme care and bowed to Sheyan.

"I will be taking my leave now, after some time, I will send some people here to enchant things, you still owe me 148 free enchantments after all." Sheyan spoke to Peigan then turned around to leave the laboratory.

Charl and krist followed behind him.

After some time, Sheyan and his gang once again came to the main port area.

Sheyan was still smiling thinking about the huge profit he made from this single trip and the even bigger profit he will be making after he goes back to the nightmare realm.

"Who are these people? They seem really strong, especially that easterner in the front."

"Those two beauties at his side look really delicious hehe."

"Keep your words in check, old willy, what if those guys heard you."

People at the sides of the road looked at the group of Sheyan and discussed among themselves.

Turtuga port is a free port, both pirates and legal authorities visited this port because the ancestor of Fokke family, the ruler of this port, used to be a pirate but then he fell in love with a woman and gave a large amount of treasure to Britain. The queen of Britain, impressed by his generosity gave him the title of lord and lord Fokke came to this island to rule.

Because of the dual identity, Turtuga became a free port and authorities weren't allowed to arrest pirates here, only the guards of Fokke family were allowed to arrest people. Because of these things, most of the people moving near the port were pirates.

Just when Sheyan's party was moving towards the pier to board the ship and pirates on the side of the road were discussing among themselves.

*BOOOOM!!!!!*

Sound of a huge explosion rang all over the island.

Everyone turned towards the direction of the castle of the Fokke family.

A huge black cloud was fuming in the sky above the castle of the Fokke family.

"Fuck, which son a bitch dared to blast the castle of Fokke family?" A pirate exclaimed loudly in shock.

"Those crazy fuckers used atleast 100kg of explosives." An old pirate looked at the fume in air and spoke after pondering for a moment.

Sheyan and his party also turned around to see the situation.

A big smile appeared on Sheyan's face as he looked at the smoke.

"Hehe they finally appeared."
