Whoever kills the most will have a chance to fuck them first!\" said the thin blond man with the red cutlass in his hand as he landed on the deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his vile words, fury erupted in my chest like wildfire—I wanted to scorch every last bastard where they stood. But I clenched my fists, forced the fire down, and held the storm back… for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They boarded, and our people met them, including Rev, who had gone for the man with a red cutlass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Their number seemed to have no end,\" said Hen as she launched spell after spell at the pirates coming at us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She is right; the pirates keep coming. Their numbers are more than I had thought. If this kept going on, their numbers might overwhelm ours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I pushed away that worry and looked ahead at the group of five pirates coming at us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boys, don't kill the whore; we will need them alive to fuck!\" cautioned the leader of the group as they came at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at Hen and moved toward them with Madam's Grace and Surefooted while heavy rain crashed against me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, the arrows and spells came at me, but defensive appeared in front of me. The pirates don't seem threatened by me running at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This bitch is drunk!\" some of them shouted as they smelled the Intoxicating Fragrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, when there was only a meter distance between us, I suddenly stopped and opened my mouth, breathing out all the liquor I was holding in my mouth, activating the Power Breath and Long Breath before lighting it up with Flint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, the fire bloomed out of my mouth, widening with a Wide Blume as it moved toward the surprised pirates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying pirates were surprised would be an understatement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They reacted fast, but my fire was faster, and it reached them before enveloping them. Their mage tried to interfere, but it was busy dealing with Hens Barrage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhhhh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The screams rang out through the whole deck as the pirates burned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They burned despite the heavy rain crashing against them and the protective spell covering them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The liquor I drank was potent and had been infused with mist. Making it even more powerful. It could affect even Grade IV spells, much less the Grade III.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I moved again and appeared in front of them before decapitating the first before burying my sword in the head of the second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I removed the sword and decapitated the third and fourth in a single strike before chasing the fifth one. He was running away madly, but I appeared behind it and buried my sword into the scum's chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I removed it and activated the Fire Off; the bodies immediately stopped burning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is dangerous to use fire on ships despite the enchantments and the skills that protect them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked around, saw the eyes on me, and saw pirates approaching me, with spells and arrows coming toward my direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hen and other mages are protecting me. Still, things will be difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have the kind of power that makes me get noticed in battle. It is the one I had chosen, and I learned to live with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn't waste any time and immediately moved toward another group. These bastards are moving toward the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavy guards surround it, but they are quickly overwhelmed by the large number of pirates moving toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I moved, I noticed something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am moving faster than I usually do, with less effort or rather less strain. It happened earlier, but I didn't notice. The skill of Madam's Grace isn't resisting as it always does.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took my drunk mind a second to realize the reason, and I laughed when I did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am Madam, and I am doing what a Madam should do: protect their charges. So, it didn't matter; I was fighting, and what matters is that I was trying to protect my charges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't happen during my first battle. I was trying to do the same, but things are different here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the skills, one could also take the class in a certain direction. It is much harder, but it can be done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For over a year, I worked hard to push my class toward a particular aspect. I am still an August Madam, but now it is different from what it was when I first got the class,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took a lot of effort, but it worked. I was able to move it toward protection from control. The protection now occupies a space similar to the leadership.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I reached close to them and breathed out, but the pirates were prepared this time, and a large Water Wall appeared before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My fire crashed against the water wall and began to vaporize it while I released another breath of fire behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It passed through the wall as it vaporized. Hitting the three pirates behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had practiced with my fire and understood the power of each one and also the power of the spell. I timed my second breath; right at that moment, it vaporized the water wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is hard to do it with an intoxicated mind, but I had practiced it over and over till even my drunk mind could do it instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhh!\" the pirates burned, and I moved to finish them. Seeing the pirates coming toward me, they stopped in their tracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire was able to put fear in the hearts of these daring pirates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am getting attacked by the spells and archers, but I am well-defended. Hen and the other mages of the team understood my fighting style and could protect me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn't waste a moment and breathed fire on the pirates fighting near the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, those fighting them finished them, and I moved to other pirates burning them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am like a mage, but I can get close, and my fire is very powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Behind you!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was in my thoughts when I was warned, and I was sloppy but fast when I saw an arrow coming toward me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, I activated the Shield Brace as I put my shield forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arrow clashed against my shield before I turned to pirates coming at me, took advantage of the opportunity, and breathed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They moved to avoid it, but the fire plum was wide, and the deck limited them; it covered them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have been constantly practicing my skills, understanding them, and pushing them beyond their limit. It is the only way to increase the strength other than level-ups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I moved toward another group of pirates and burned them and another, killing them, but there were more, and they were still coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have the advantage here with the mages protecting me, but the numbers are making things difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, nearly all the liquor in Stored Sips was gone. I immediately took the bottle and started taking fast gulps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Barb, watch out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I heard the Rev's warning, filled with alarm. Even drunk, I reacted immediately and turned. Only to see the blonde man with red cutlass coming toward me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is barely a meter away from me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is good; I am drunk because I am now scared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite that, I acted fast. I released the bottle from my hand and moved my shield forward while simultaneously releasing the breath and targeting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire moved fast, and it bloomed before swallowing the man. A relief filled me as the man was a Lv. 30; he will kill me if I let him get close to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, nice fire!\" I heard and saw a man coming toward me, bathing the bright fire and attacking me with his cutlass fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its blade crashed against my shield, and I felt the blow. It felt more like a blow from a hammer than a blade; it nearly broke my stance and made me stumble on the ship's deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could do that despite my having Shield Brace active and a shield with force absorption enchantment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was still able to push me back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shouldn't have; he is still burning, but from his posture, it's clear that the fire isn't affecting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have to say, this is the strongest fire I have experienced,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How are you, not burning?\" I couldn't help but ask. The fire affects even the Grade IV shield spell, but it doesn't seem to affect the man at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Skill, of course!\" he replied, attacking me again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is fast, really fast, and his blade felt nearly invisible to my eyes. Still, I moved my shield forward with what I could see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its blade hit it again, filling me with relief, but the next moment. I saw him appearing to my right and attacking me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shield was too far to block it. So, I moved my sword to defend against his attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I defended but felt his powerful blow. The sword didn't have force absorption enchantment, nor could I use the defensive skill with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sent me back stumbling, and I didn't fall only because of Madam's Grace and Feather's Grace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Where is a Rev?' I couldn't help but ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am not a match for the Lv. 30, especially the one in his element.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I glanced toward Rev, only to see him bogged by two pirates and a mage. They are not Lv. 30, but good enough that they had held him there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Fuck!' I cursed and saw the blond man appearing in front of me like a phantom once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire covering him had lessened but did not go out. Now, instead of blazing, only tiny embers are covering him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hastily put my shield forward while taking steps back, avoiding those around me who were fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rip!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, his blade was able to avoid my shield, reaching my body before cutting me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cut me across the stomach. It's not a deep cut, but it's not shallow, either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Almost had you,\" he said with a grin and attacked. At the same time, I moved back to dodge while putting my shield forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, I was able to defend against it, but he came at me again, and I defended once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His attacks are relentless; they come at me every second, and I can only defend. They are too powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is no one to help. All of them are busy; Hen is trying to help me, but her spells are getting countered by the enemy mages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rip!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dodged my shield again, and the cutlass cut against my shoulder again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe!\" He laughed and came at me again. I defended while stepping back, but he came at me once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is relentless and fast. I felt like I could not do anything against him. Even my drunken state couldn't fully blunt the panic I was feeling in my heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I defended another of his attacks, but I have reached the deck's edge this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is no railing to stop me and turbulent waves crashing on the ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is the end for you whore,\" he said and attacked. It is faster than all other attacks and stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I moved my shield forward on instinct, and to my surprise, I was able to defend against it. However, I nearly stumbled into the sea before stabilizing myself quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It relieved me, but that relief was short-lived as I saw him grinning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was thinking about what he was planning when I saw his leg. It came like a flash, and I moved left to dodge, as it was the only direction I could move in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bam!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had just taken a step when I felt a hard kick across my stomach that sent me flying into the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tap the Patreon link below to unlock 20+ advanced chapters, or join free to enjoy character art, maps, and more exclusive content!\u003C\u002Fp>",2092,"2026-06-09T06:55:03.455Z",1,"novelbin.me","980ca3cf9f18c3975949e7627601f6a48ac239be3d175bbccb691d2601ff5bce","city-of-desire-kingdom-building-chapter-642","city-of-desire-kingdom-building-chapter-640",917,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcity-of-desire-kingdom-building-cover.jpg"]
