Chapter 85 - Cornered but not defeated

[Your spectral ship is ready to be used]

Mikey summons the spectral ship filled with pirates. He jumps on the ship and orders some of the spectral pirates to start loading the cannons and shooting them.

Mikey pulls out a crafting table and starts crafting.

The assasins go into hiding.

"What is he doing?! He won't hit us with the cannons. Is he trying to destroy the morgue?!"

"We need to attack him."

"Use that blaster again, we need to get rid of his ship first."

"I can only use it once more, you guys sure I should waste it now?"

"Of course, how else are we going to progress? He probably can't defend it anyway."

One of the assasins reveals himself and points his finger at Mikey's ship.

"Blasting Cannon!"

Mikey equips a shield, and jumps infront of the ship, to protect it from the laser.

[You have activated an ability of the Durable Fighter]

The laser destroys Mikey's shield but doesn't injure him, thanks to the durable fighter attribute.

"He blocked it..." The assasin falls to his knees. "What now?"

BANG!

One of the pirates near the assasin shoot at him. He quickly swings his dagger and deflects the shot.

The assasin goes to the others and explains what happened.

"Damn it! I guess we just have to corner him now. We are going to play the long game, no other choice."

(Inside the Eternal Prison)

The domain is quite literally like a dungeon. Monsters here and there, several rooms with different loot and whatnot, but the three assasins who entered with Lucy are nowhere to be seen.

What am I supposed to do anyway? Lucy blasts another monster with a fireball. Will I even be able to get out of here? I have a feeling that I might stay here for a while... I wonder if Mikey is alright.

(In the morgue)

Mikey is in the underdeck of his ship, the assasins have surrounded him, and Mikey is giving orders to his pirates. He is giving each and every one of them a detailed information of what they are supposed to do.

Mikey's head starts hurting from giving so many orders, perhaps it has some kind of a drawback, since the spectrals are an extension of him.

"You three, scout the area, report anything that happens."

"You two load the cannons."

"And you two come with me. As for the others, stick to the instructions that I gave you."

Mikey and two other Pirates go into the storage with spectral cannonballs and spectral gunpowder. The two pirates move some of the cannonballs and gunpowder, they put them near the cannons.

"You two can join the others now, I will be digging a hole in the ship, I need to create an escape route for myself." Mikey reveals his plans.

(Back in the domain)

Lucy blasts even more monsters and finds a treasure room, there is a suspicious looking chest. Lucy comes up to it and throws a rock at it. The chest moves, Lucy steps back. She summons a large boulder and sends it flying at the chest, the chest dodges the boulder.

"I didn't miss did I? Is this chest moving?"

The chest turns to Lucy, she steps up closer to it. The chest just stays still for some time. Lucy steps even closer and tries to open it.

The chest is locked, so Lucy blasts the keyhole with a small fireball.

"OWWWW!!!" An assasin jumps out of the chest.

Lucy: "What the hell?"

Assasin: "What the hell?"

Lucy: "Hey! That's my question!"

Assasin: "That idiot must've used the domain incorrectly... Wait, you aren't on my side are you?"

What's up with this goofy assasin?

The assasin pulls out two daggers: "Prepare to di-"

(Few seconds later)

The assasin is lying unconcious on the ground.

Lucy: "Was this guy one of those three assasins? I am confused, why did he come out of the chest?"

Lucy leaves the room and continues going through the dungeon.

(Back in the real world)

"Pirates! Shoot the cannons one by one, and reload them right away!" Mikey gives orders while making a hole in the underdeck and creating an escape route.

"I really hope that those assasins can't track me..." Mikey keeps mining for some time. A few seconds later, he mines a block and sees an assasin, who seems to have been digging a tunnel to Mikey's ship. They look at eachoher, and awkwardly stay silent for a few seconds.

"HOWITZER!"

"DUSKSTEP!"

BOOM!

The assasin uses an explosive spell and pretty much blows up the whole tunnel. He starts running away from Mikey, who catches him before he can get away. Mikey knocks out the assasin with the hilt of his sword, and brings him over to his ship.

Who wouldve thought that the assasins would come up with the exact same plan I did. Thankfully he wasn't able to get close enough. If he did, my ship would've been gone.

"HEY GAMMA! ARE YOU ALIVE?!" One of the assasins shouts into his walkie-talkie, Mikey grabs the assasin's walkie-talkie.

"Hello, Mikey Hunt here. I've captured your buddy he's knocked out in my ship as we speak." Mikey replies.

Mikey can hear frustration and anger from their voices.

"Do you care about your buddy's life?" Mikey asks.

"No, kill him if you want." The assasin replies and hangs up.

"I expected that answer, well, I wouldn't have killed him anyway, but it looks like threatening them won't work." Mikey throws away the walkie-talkie.

"Pirates, take the rope out of the storage and tie him up. When he wakes up, rush over to me immediately and let me know. Also, check if he has any weapons on him, or anything like that, if he does, just take the weapons away from him. Mikey gives orders to four of his pirates who start guarding the knocked out assasin.

Mikey pulls down the assasin's mask. It is a young elven man with a scar across his left eye.

Mikey takes a telescope and goes up to the deck. He starts scanning the area.

"They're probably waiting for that laser attack to recharge, if they could use it however many times they wanted, they would just keep blasting me..." Mikey suddenly gets an idea.

"I have the resources. I really hope this will work... Pirates! Shoot the cannons and load them up again!"

Mikey goes into the the tunnel and creates a small four block hole. He then pulls out two buckets filled with water, and pours them inside the four block hole.

Infinite water source! Will it work? Or not... please work!
