Chapter 32 - The Final Showdown

Chapter 32 - The Final Showdown

The final showdown between The Ghost King and The Pirate King begins...

By entering his final form, the ghost king had shortened his teleport cooldown to 0.2 seconds instead of 3 seconds. Which is obviously a huge difference. He still has his two spears as weapons, nothing changed about that. This means that it will be pretty much impossible for Mikey to hit him if he just keeps swapping positions with his spears all the time.

The only con of the ghost's final form is... that after five minutes while in his final form, he won't be able to move for the next ten seconds, making him completely vulnerable. This forces the ghost king to go on the offensive and fight very aggresively. Mikey obviously doesn't know about his weakness. He also doesn't know about the abilities of the ghost's final form yet.

Besides the teleport cooldown reducement, the ghost king's size has increased, and all of his stats have been raised by 20% too. He also unlocked a new special skill that he can only use while in his final form.

The ghost dissapears. Mikey starts looking in all directions. He can't seem to find the ghost king anywhere.

A few seconds later, the ghost reappears in the same spot.

This is strange. Mikey thinks to himself. Did this guy really just dissapear and reappear in the same exact spot?

Mikey feels something behind him. He instinctively turns around and kicks the air behind him. The ghost king appears after Mikey kicks the air. The kick knocks him a few meters back.

While in midair, the ghost king throws one spear at Mikey and the other one above him. He swaps his position with the one that he threw at Mikey.

Mikey attacks with his Duskblade right after the ghost swaps. He doesn't know about the reduced cooldown yet, that's why he attacks, thinking that he can land a hit on him here.

The ghost however, swaps positions with the spear above Mikey. Mikey hits the spear which the ghost king had swapped positions with and the spear starts chasing after Mikey. The ghost who's meanwhile midair dissapears again. Leaving behind a clone.

His cooldown has reduced? Mikey thinks to himself as the spear chases him.

The ghost king gets behind Mikey, and once his spear's ability runs out and it falls to the ground he instantly attacks Mikey. Mikey strikes back but the ghost king switches positions with the spear that had fallen next to Mikey.

Mikey and the ghost king begin an onslaught one on another. They just exchange blows with eachother while ocassionaly summoning a few spectrals and ghosts to help them.

After about thirty seconds, the fight gets so intense that every single "clang" of their weapons creates an explosion. This is happening because they've clashed so many times that their weapons have reached a really high temperature.

The ghost king steps on his gas pedal and Mikey can't quite keep up with him anymore. The ghost king keeps swapping positions so much, that he is leaving afterimages behind. That's when he uses his dissapearance skill.

Mikey doesn't notice it and focuses on the ghost king's "clone" who is standing still, a few meters in front of Mikey. The clone is holding only one spear. Mikey realizes it and starts looking around for the second one. He can't seem to find it. The thing is, that the real ghost king is holding it, and the spear turned invisible with him.

The ghost king's clone starts slowly walking towards Mikey. Mikey prepares for his attack, and that's when the real ghost king appears behind Mikey and backstabs him.

The ghost king manages to hit Mikey in his back. The spear thankfully for Mikey doesn't go fully through. Mikey almost screams in pain as he sidesteps from the spear.

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

Mikey had unlocked a new Fighter Ability without quite realizing it. His mind goes blank and he turns on what seems like an "autopilot" mode. His stats increase by about 15% Mikey starts very aggresively attacking the ghost king. The ghost king doesn't back down at all.

Mikey had actually unlocked this ability all the way back in the second trial where he started mindlessly fighting the infinite horde of zombies. This is his first time actually using it.

Shit, I have only 90 seconds left until I freeze. The ghost king thinks to himself. I have to end this.

The ghost king puts all his power into the next attack.

"The King's Laser Beam." He says as he points both of his spears at Mikey. Mikey's 'deranged fighter' ability runs out and he comes back to senses. He remembers everything that happened up until now when he was in the 'autopilot' mode.

[Your swordsmanship has evolved. You have unlocked a skill that can be used with your Duskblade]

The ghost king uses his lazerbeam and decimates Mikey... or does he? Mikey appears behind him and cuts the ghost king in half. The ghost king's upper and lower body fall on the ground.

He laughs. "You got me good. I didn't expect you to have another trick up your sleeve." He says.

"I didn't, I just happened to improve during our fight." Mikey replies.

"Is that so? Well, no matter, I am defeated. Before I dissapear and let you out of this domain. Would you like to ask me anything?" The ghost king asks Mikey.

"Yes, there are three things I would like to ask." Mikey says. "First of all, who are you, and who are the other two powerful beings on this island that my friends already took care of?" Mikey asks.

"It was a long time ago since all of this started. We used to be pirates, our captain thought that it was a good idea to go into the forgotten land of hopes. The place has a lot of names, that's what I called it anyway. It wasn't a good idea. The entire crew got cursed by a powerful mystic being." The ghost king says. "After that, me and the two other that are on this island, got cursed to protect this island until someone kills us. I don't know why, to this day. But I am certain of one thing, search through this entire island and you'll find something precious." The ghost king tells Mikey.

"Who was the captain of your crew?" Mikey asks.

"Peter Jackson. A great man, he was cursed aswell. I am pretty sure that he ended up as a zombie and the mystic being gave him a big army of zombies." The ghost king answers.

Mikey laughs. "What a coincidence, I met him already." Mikey says.

"Really? How is he doing?" The ghost king asks.

"Well, I killed him." Mikey answers.

"Hahaha, well, it seems that it is written in your fate to kill cursed pirates." The ghost king says and laughs.

"I guess so... Now to the second question, what exactly is this domain? How did you create it? What are the conditions?" Mikey asks.

"That's more than one question but whatever." The ghost king says and starts explaining how domains work to Mikey.

"Hmm, so that's how it is." Mikey says. "I'll keep that in mind. And the last question. How is it that you're so at peace after I defeated you?" Mikey asks.

"I think it's quite obvious to be honest. All I did this whole time was protect this island and ocassionaly had fun while watching some unfortunate travelers struggle in my domain after stumbling upon my temple." He says.

"Are those all of your questions?" The ghost king asks.

"Yes." Mikey responds.

"Alright then, it was my pleasure meeting you young man. Oh wait I almost forgot. What's your name?" The ghost king asks.

"My name is Mikey Hunt, and I am the strongest human in this world right now, and it will stay that way! Watch me."

"I'll definitely watch you from my afterlife, if there is one anyway... by the way, my name is Ronnie Kingston. I am quite famous on a few pirate islands, if you will mention my name or the cap's name they will definitely give you special treatment." The ghost says and dissapears.

The domain falls apart.
