93 Chapter 91 - Strengthening
"You haven't established a party yet, sir?" Sheryll asked doubtfully.
Other contestants were also slightly dumbfounded.
Although they hadn't seen Sheyan's complete strength, to be able to have such an amazing ship, having so many elite pirates who were willing to follow him and the two super strong servants standing at his sides, spoke volumes of his strength.
Because of this, they had a misconception that Sheyan was the leader or member of an already established party and lost the previous members somehow and that's why he was recruiting new members.
But looks like that wasn't the case.
"No, I didn't see the need before so I didn't make one." Sheyan replied with a smile.
"Well, it's ok, if you don't mind sir, then you can join our party, It's a bronze rank party and it's already at level 4. I will make you the leader." Luke offered at this time.
"A bronze rank? Well thank you, but a bronze party isn't enough." Sheyan replied calmly.
"Are you planning to make a silver-rank party sir?" Light Ball asked.
"No, the rock bottom is a gold-rank party but I will be aiming for higher ranks." Sheyan replied with a shake of his head.
"What!! Gold rank!" All the contestants who were familiar with the specifics of party rank exclaimed in shock.
"Oh come on, no need to be so surprised. Establishing a Gold rank isn't that hard." Sheyan spoke with a reassuring smile.
"Sir, I am sorry to say this but you have a misconception about the words small, less, easy, and hard." Sheryll chimed in with a strange look in her eyes.
"Well, I have some information regarding the procedure of establishing a Gold rank party." Luke spoke at this time.
"Can you share it with us?" Rusty Ball asked tentatively since he wasn't friends with Luke and his party.
"To establish a gold rank party, first of all, the applicants should have at least one person who has military rank of authentic major or higher. If it's a reserve duty major then it won't work. Second, applications have to score an SS grade or higher grade in the party establishment mission provided by the nightmare realm. I only know this much." Luke explained slowly to all the contestants.
"Just the first condition of having a major rank stops most of the contestants from establishing a Gold rank party, let alone the second condition which is even more absurd." Sheryll mumbled after hearing Luke's words.
"So, establishing a Gold rank party is that hard, no wonder, I haven't heard about any gold rank party in the nightmare realm." Dustin added.
"Umm 23455, what did you mean by reserve duty? I haven't heard of this term before." Rusty Ball asked curiously.
He knows about the military ranks, which can be achieved and promoted with the help of achievement points but this is his first time hearing about a reserve duty title in military rank.
Other contestants also focused on Luke, since they also didn't know about this term.
"Well, you should know about the role of achievement points right?" Luke asked before explaining.
Everyone nodded to show that they knew about it while Shanaya showed a confused expression. She didn't know anything about the things these guys were talking about at all, so she could only remain silent.
"The thing is just like utility and potential points, achievement points can also be traded between contestants. So some people buy achievement points from other contestants at enormous prices to promote their military ranks. But here comes the catch, the nightmare realm doesn't seem to like this behavior, so when you buy achievement points and use them to promote your rank, it puts a reserve duty title at the front of your military rank. Those with reserve duty titles have less bonus effects compared to contestants who have authentic military ranks, which they promoted by earning their own achievement points." Luke explained.
"Basically, it's like a title for cheats. Haha." Luke added.
"Oh, so that's how it is." Contestants mumbled after learning something new.
"By the way sir, What is your military rank?" Sheryll turned to Sheyan and asked curiously.
"It's corporal, but don't worry I have enough achievement points to raise my rank to general major anytime I want." Sheyan replied with a smile.
"Only corpor- Wait! GENERAL MAJOR!" Luke showed a surprised look when he heard Sheyan's current rank but when he heard the second half of the sentence, his heart skipped a beat.
'If I remember it right, we need more than 250 achievement points, if we want to promote our military rank to General Major.' Luke thought with a sweat drop on his brows.
"Okay, no need to worry about the party for now, let's leave it for later when the time comes." Sheyan spoke and ended the discussion about parties.
"Anyways, all of you should already know that I Invited other pirates to our ship to discuss about the contribution and dividing the loot, they will arrive in 1 and a half hours. So do whatever you want til then. Come find me when they are here." Sheyan spoke and left the contestants to talk among themselves.
Half an hour went by.
Charl came to Sheyan and reported.
"Sir, all corpses have been brought here, and all valuables have been moved into the warehouse too."
"Good job." Sheyan praised with a satisfied smile.
"Do you have any other orders, sir?." Charl asked with a happy smile.
"None for now."
Sheyan replied and walked to the place where all the corpses were placed.
Heaps of corpses were standing in front of him. Sheyan didn't waste any time and started the looting process.
All crimson keys and storyline equipments were stored inside his system storage while the corpses who were completely looted got devoured by the Scarlett Twilight to collect life essence. Although these people were already dead there was still some vitality left inside their bodies.
After thirty minutes, Sheyan dealt with all the corpses. On the deck were only some dirty clothes left. Pirates picked up the clothes and threw them into the sea.
"Captain, do we need to get away from the ship now?" Mongor came to Sheyan and asked.
They already knew Sheyan's way of doing things, since the corpses were already dealt with, the next thing would be to deal with all the ships captured by them.
"Yes, inform everyone to move 300 meters away from the ships." Sheyan instructed.
"Got it, captain." Mongor replied and rushed to inform everyone about Sheyan's orders.
All the pirates quickly got on small boats and sailed away. Contestants also followed behind the girls and Sheryll with confusion and curiosity.
They could see that Sheryll suddenly became very excited after they were told to move away from the ship.
But she didn't explain the reason to them, so they could only wait and see for themselves.
This sudden big movement didn't escape the eyes of the pirates who had been focusing on Scarlett Twilight since the beginning.
"What happened to those guys? Why did they suddenly leave the ship?" A pirate asked his friend.
"How would I know, ehh?"
"Could it be something happened on that ship?"
News about this movement also reached Davy Jones and Blackbeard the next moment, and they both came out of their cabins.
"What's happening?" Davy Jones asked his subordinates while glancing at the Scarlett Twilight in the distance.
On the other hand, Sheyan opened the property panel of Scarlett Twilight.
[ Divine Ship: Scarlett Twilight]
[ Length: 240 meters, Width: 30 meters]
[ Volume capacity: 2000 tons ]
[ Durability: 99,999,999 ]
[ Special ability: Smooth sailing (Passive) ]
[ Special ability: Hardened (Passive) ]
[ Divine ability: Divine Aura (Passive) ]
[ Divine ability: Divine Bomber ]
[ Special Divine ability: Devour ]
Unlike other strengthened equipment and items, there wasn't anything mentioned about the strengthened degree on its panel.
After Scarlett Twilight became a divine ship, it became a completely new entity, and the previous strengthened bonus was completely sublimated inside it and disappeared from its panel. This means Sheyan can strengthen Scarlett Twilight once again with his repair ability.
And with the advanced repair, he can strengthen the items by a maximum of 500% now while previously he could do only 300%.
Sheyan smiled and operated the repair skill on Scarlett Twilight.
All five pirate ships, two warships, two merchant ships, and the small boats near Scarlett Twilight were used as repair materials.
*Schzoom*
Suddenly all the ships radiated a bright light. From a distance, it looked like a group of miniature suns.
Sheyan willed the liquid metal to turn into sunglasses and looked at the state of the ships inside the light.
All the ships suddenly bloomed like flowers in front of his eyes and attached themselves to Scarlett Twilight.
The size of Scarlett Twilight started to increase once again, and some mysterious powers surfaced inside it, along with this progress the brightness radiating by the ships increased once again.
*SCHZOOOOM*
The light barrier suddenly burst open and revealed the strengthened Scarlett Twilight.
As the ship revealed itself to the world, all the people present, who had been looking towards here to understand the situation, suddenly widened their eyes to an abnormal degree as their jaws fell to the ground.
"What in the name of Davy Jones!?"
"Oh Mother, am I still sleeping, is this a dream?"
*Thwak*
Someone slapped the guy who asked if it was a dream.
The guy held his face and instead of cursing at the friend who slapped him kept on looking in the distance.
All the people present witnessed the miracle of a ship devouring other ships with their own eyes today.
Even Davy Jones and Blackbeard who had seen countless strange scenes during their travel haven't seen something like this. But instead of fearing or being awed due to this miracle, they were excited, excited to snatch this divine ship as soon as possible.
On the deck of newly promoted Scarlett Twilight.
Sheyan looked around at the ship and opened his insight skill to inspect it.
[ Divine Ship: Scarlett Twilight (400%)]
[ Length: 840 meters, Width: 120 meters]
[ Volume capacity: 10000 tons ]
[ Durability: 999,999,999 ]
[ Special ability: Smooth sailing (Passive) ]
[ Special ability: Hardened (Passive) ]
[ Divine ability: Divine Aura (Passive) ]
[ Divine ability: Divine Bomber ]
[ Special Divine ability: Devour ]
Sheyan checked the information about the strengthened Scarlett Twilight, especially the ability it possesses. All abilities have been strengthened 4 times completely, whether it's attack range, attack damage, attack speed, durability, or sailing speed. All of them have strengthened to an enormous degree. Such a ship should have never existed in this world at all.
"With the current attack power and attack speed. Even if I hunt Legendary sea creatures, it will be like a piece of cake." Sheyan mumbled to himself, also a little shocked at the properties of his ship.
Pirates also sailed back quickly by this time and boarded the ship, with their current attributes far surpassing normal humans it was very easy for them.
"Our mate has become even stronger."
"Captain has done a miracle once again, I am already used to it."
Pirates inspected the ship with awe and exclaimed occasionally while praising Sheyan.
"Okay, no time to dilly dally little ones, set tables and chairs, bring out all the booze drums, and prepare food. I don't want our guests to complain about our hospitality." Sheyan ordered loudly.
Some pirates brought the gold chair for Sheyan to sit on after cleaning it, Sheyan looked at the chair and found it a little off to his taste, so he asked the pirates to bring the other gold chairs too along with his previous resting chair.
After the pirates brought the chairs, Sheyan used the repair ability on his previous chair and used the gold chairs as repairing materials.
After the chairs fused, a brand new chair appeared in front of him, instead of a chair it looked more like a throne, made of gold, along with soft material for comfort.
Sheyan nodded in satisfaction after looking at the throne and sat on it calmly.
The pirates got to work and brought the barrels filled with different alcoholic beverages and set tables and chairs on the deck.
