Chapter 92 Cat Dad is a Mage

Chapter 92 – Cat Dad is a Mage

The pirates surprised Xiaomao. He knew that undead pirates had the ability to teleport anywhere in the sea, but these guys found him too fast. He wondered if the ownership of the frigate still belonged to the mobs, which allowed them to return to their ship.

Defeating a thousand level-100 undead pirates in a sea battle at Xiaomao’s current state was impossible However, he hadn’t completely improved his character to the fullest yet.

At the moment, Xiaomao had unused allocable points that he had been stocking for future use. At first, he had planned to increase his status evenly to unlock a perfect class, but he changed his mind.

The frigate was too good to give up. Xiaomao couldn’t afford to hand it over to the pirates.

Xiaomao checked the spell books that he was carrying in his premium backpack. Afterward, he began allocating points to his spiritual roots.

The catopus race was physically weak in close combat as they could not wear proper armor like humanoid creatures. Their small tentacles were also not suitable for direct combat.

However, catopuses thrived as mages and assassins. Their small physique made them hard to be targeted or attacked by their enemies.

Xiaomao made up his mind. His character would now be prioritized on becoming a hybrid assassin-mage, who specialized in sniping and long-ranged attacks.

‘The stats doesn’t synergize with my current skill set as a sniper. But once I get my hands on the Chaos Element, everything will be a lot easier since I’ll be able to switch combat status between physical attack and magical attack.’

Xiaomao brought out two spellbooks and learned them right away.

DING

<You have learned a new spell – Thunderstorm.>

<You have learned a new spell – Holy Light.>

As soon as Xiaomao learned the spells, his hair and tail stood up, and electric sparks came out from the tips of his fur. The white hair was as bright as the sunlight, and a faint halo appeared over his head.

Xiaomao jumped up and climbed the main mast. Upon arriving at the top, he brought out a flying sword from his inventory and pointed it toward the sky.

RUMBLE

As if Heaven answered Xiaomao’s gesture, black clouds gathered, the sea raged, and the wind howled.

The process only took 10 seconds after Torrent threatened Xiaomao. And now, Xiaomao activated his first spell.

“Lighting Storm, MUNYA!”

BOOM

The first lightning bolt descended and hit the main mast of a cog ship. The undead pirate on the mast was sent flying. A large number, 15,080, appeared on top of the pirate crew.

BOOM

BOOM

Lightning bolts consecutively rained upon the pirates on the cog ships. The same fixed damage of 15,080 decreased the victims’ HP bars by 60%. A few unlucky pirates got hit twice, and their bones turned into ash.

DING

<You have killed Skeleton Pirate Level 100!>

<You have gained 350,000 EXP.>

<You have obtained White Ash x 1>

<You have obtained Gold Tooth x 1>

<You have obtained Rusty Scimitar x 1>

Killing a field mob gave less EXP than hunting in a dungeon. Moreover, these mobs didn’t give Xiaomao any useful item other than junk to be sold. They didn’t even give him their equipment as rusty scimitars were too useless to become a player’s weapon.

BOOM

BOOM

The lightning bolts left countless sparks whenever they hit a part of the ghost ships. As the 10 cog ships were too small for all 1,000 pirates, they were packed together like canned tuna. One after another, the lightning bolts caused collateral damage to their friends.

Although the spell only summoned 100 bolts, no one on the cog ships had a full HP bar. Even Torrent lost 10% of his HP after the onslaught.

Unfortunately, the spell lasted two minutes. After the 100 lightning bolts hit their targets, the storm disappeared.

Torrent stood on the front deck of a burning cog with a broken mast. He fired the front harpoon, and the spear hit the black frigate, latching their ships together.

KAKAKAKA (You’re mine, REGRESSOR!)

After the storm dispersed, Xiaomao rode the flying sword and descended toward Torrent. He brought out a wooden stick and pointed at the pirate king.

“HOLY LIGHT, MUNYA!”

“!!!”

As if Torrent sensed the danger, he jumped off from his cog.

A ray of sunlight shone upon the place that Torrent had stood, and the front deck of the ghost ship dissipated into dust.

The light dimmed the next second, but Torrent’s cog already lost the front part of the ship. It soon sank into the sea along with the crews.

Xiaomao cackled and flew away, returning to his frigate and leaving Torrent and his men to float in the sea.

“KAKAKAKA, MUNYARR! This is my ship now!”

KAKAKAKA (BASTARD REGRESSOR! Fight on the ground like a man!)

.

Meanwhile, Shepherd, Lucky, and Magdalene couldn’t contribute anything as all cogs were reduced to broken burning ships. They observed the development with a pokerface expression before Shepherd calmly span the wheel, navigating the ship out of the encirclement.

Lucky proceeded to the harpoon spear and cut the rope. She collected the harpoon as a throwable weapon for herself.

Magdalene pursed her lips. She was a lot stronger than Torrent and the pirates, but she couldn’t kill them and give EXP to Shepherd. Thus, she only summoned wind and propelled the frigate forward faster.

<Magdalene regrets that she can’t kill the pirates.>

While the ship was leaving the pirates behind, Xiaomao returned to the deck with his flying sword.

“Let’s leave, munya. We don’t need to fight here.”

Magdalene furrowed her brows.

<Magdalene is curious why you didn’t finish off the pirates.>

Xiaomao sighed, “I missed. My spells have a long cooldown. I can’t use them again for an hour, munya!”
