Chapter 31 - Ghostkiller Coating

(One day later in The Ghost's domain)

Mikey is regenerating at a very fast rate. He's eating a ton of food too. He wrote a message to Lucy, finally explaining his situation and reassuring her that he will reunite with them soon.

While Mikey has been in the Ghost's domain for multiple days, barely one day has passed in the real world.

Lucy, Christina, Ragnar and Zoro have been looking around the Island. They found a hot spring on the island and a big cave which they decided to explore.

(2 days later in the Ghost's domain)

Mikey had finally fully healed up and is ready to fight the ghost. The ghost appears in front of him.

"So, shall we begin?" He asks Mikey.

"Yes, let's do this." Mikey answers.

The scenery changes again. Mikey and the Ghost appear in a large area which has the same green glow as the ghost. There's a throne in the area and a lot of strange shaped objects lying around. Large or small, long or short. All of them are glowing green aswell.

The ghost is sitting on the throne.

"Before we begin." He says. "I shall teach you the ghostkiller ability as I promised."

(2 hours later)

After a lot of practice, Mikey had finally learnt his first ghostkiller skill.

[New skill unlocked: Ghostkiller Coating]

This skill allows Mikey to coat parts of his body, or weapons in a material that can damage ghosts.

"Are you ready?" The ghost asks. Mikey coats his duskblade, the coating has a red color which makes Mikey's sword glow not only purple as it normally does, but red instead. Mikey also coats his fists and feet, in case he wanted to fight the ghost bare haned.

"I am ready." Mikey says.

The ghost teleports back on his throne and summons a dozen of ghosts. These ghosts look similar to Mikey's spectrals. The only difference is that their green glow is darker than Mikey's spectrals. The ghosts have swords and shields.

Mikey cuts through them easily and points his duskblade at the ghost king.

"When will you fight me? I want to get this over with as quickly as possible." Mikey says.

The ghost stays silent for a few seconds. He then stands up from his throne and a spear appears in his right hand. He throws the spear at Mikey. Mikey dodges the spear. As the spear passes Mikey, the ghost king teleports right next to Mikey by switching positions with his spear.

Stolen novel; please report.

The ghost king has a skill which allows him to teleport. This skill has a cooldown, BUT if he switches positions with his weapon instead, the cooldown reduced tremendously.

Mikey attacks the ghost king. He switches his position with his spear again, which makes Mikey's sword and the ghost's spear clash. This is when another skill of the ghost king activates.

By hitting his spear. The spear turns on its auto-attack mode. It starts chasing Mikey all around the area for about ten seconds. After that, the spear's auto-attack mode runs out and it falls to the ground.

The ghost king switches his position with his spear again and attacks Mikey. Mikey sidesteps and attacks back, hitting the spear again because the ghost king switched his positions the same way he did the last time.

This time however, the spear doesn't start attacking Mikey, which means that there is a cooldown for the spear's ability too.

The ghost king puts out his hand and his spear comes back to him. He charges at Mikey and starts a barrage of attacks while combining it with his teleportation.

In short, he throws a spear at Mikey switches positions, grabs his spear attacks Mikey. He does this kind of combinations several times. Mikey dodges all of them thanks to his "Adaptive Fighter" skill.

Even with his special eyes activated, he can barely keep up with all the attacks.

Moments later, another spear appears in the ghost's other hand. He has now two spears which he can switch positions with.

Mikey quickly summons four spectral pirates and orders them to attack the ghost king right away. The ghost king throws one spear at Mikey. He teleports to it, Mikey anticipates it. He dodges the ghost's punch and strikes back. The ghost dodges and swaps his position with his other spear that he threw in the air while throwing the first one at Mikey.

The ghost comes crashing at Mikey's pirates. Two of them don't survive the crash and the other two attack the ghost king.

He pierced one of the spectrals with his spear. The spear went right through. The other spectral attacked him, so he switched his positions with the spear that is next to Mikey. Before that he made sure to pull the other spear towards him.

Once he swapped positions, the spear which he pulled towards him was flying towards Mikey's back. Mikey noticed it and dodged, the ghost catched the spear. Mikey and the ghost king clashed for a moment. After that, the ghost king threw his spear in the air and swapped his position with the other spear.

Mikey's spectral pirate was standing next to that one. He attacked the ghost king with his saber. The ghost king dodged and struck back with a kick, knocking the pirate few meters back.

Mikey had already gotten behind him and attacked him with a punch. The ghost jumped back, just as Mikey was about to reach him with his punch, he swapped positions with the spear that he threw in the air. He didn't swap his position with the spear which was on ground, because Mikey summoned three more spectral soldiers to guard it.

[Your ship is ready]

Mikey smiles and thinks to himself. 'This is perfect.'

Mikey summons his spectral ship right above the ghost king. He also summons three spectral pirates on it. The ship is crashing down at the ghost, he can't dodge Mikey's ship because he's literally midair. He also can't swap positions with his spear because Mikey is standing right next to it. The other one is being guarded by three spectral pirates who keep attacking the spear, this means that if he switched positions with that spear right now, he would get struck.

The ghost king has no other choice but to use his teleport without swapping positions with his weapons. This puts his teleport on a few minute cooldown.

Before the ship crashes into the ground, Mikey sprints under it. He cushions the landing of the ship with his own back. Somehow his bones don't break from the impact.

He starts walking towards the ghost king while holding the ship on his back. The ghost king pulls his spears towards himself. Mikey throws his ship at the ghost king while ordering his three spectrals who have been guarding one of the spears until now to attack the ghost king aswell. He also pulls out his duskblade and jumps on the ship while it's crashing towards the ghost king.

The ghost king can't dodge the ship in time. He summons an army of ghosts who are holding large shields. The ghosts block most of the impact and dissapear. Mikey and his spectral pirates jump at the ghost king.

Mikey noticed a few things while fighting the ghost king. First one was, that his spectral pirates have an effect on him, even though their weapons don't have the ghostkiller coating. He noticed this because the ghost king was dodging their attacks.

Second thing that he noticed was that the teleport ability cooldown is around 3 seconds if the ghost king swaps positions with his weapon. This knowledge allowed him to set up the attack that would force the gk to use his teleport without swapping with his spears.

Mikey managed to land a critical hit on the ghost king. The ghost king starts running away.

[You have activated an ability of the "Ultimate Fighter"]

The wind gathers below Mikey's feet and allows him to instantly catch up to the ghost king.

Mikey attacks the ghost king, but he blocks with his spear, Mikey begins a barrage of his own attacks. He managed to land one more hit. The ghost king has been critically injured, but his teleport is not on cooldown anymore. He throws one of his spears away and swaps positions.

"Time to go all out." The ghost says. The color of his ghostly body changes to purple. His spears start glowing much brighter. A purple crown appears on his head too.

This is going to be the final standoff between The Ghost King, and The Pirate King.
