City of Desire Novel Chapter 645: Inheritance Skill

I fell toward the sea, toward the waves that were constantly crashing against the ships.

I could feel the skills enveloping , trying to pull

back on the deck. I grasp for them with everything I have.

I must be on the ship, protecting the girls and my charges. They are my responsibility; I cannot let anything happen to them.

My descent toward the water slowed until I was suspended in the air before moving an inch toward the ship when the barrage of skills hit .

They broke the hold of the skills and sent

crashing toward the sea.

“Shit!” I cursed.

I wouldn't have been afraid if it had been a calm sea, but it is a turbulent sea with large waves.

It would be hard for the little

not to get swept by it. They will send

away from the ship. Not to ntion the icy coldness of the water.

It would kill

if I stayed in the sea too long, especially when no water protection spell is protecting

now.

The pirates skills destroyed it and every other outside protection I had on .

Now, I am on my own.

It made

panic; even Liquid Calm wasn’t enough to keep

calm. Still, I forcefully calm myself enough to think in this drunk state.

As I did, I leaned on the two skills that could help .

My feet touched the sea a second and a half later, and I moved imdiately.

Madam’s Grace and Feather’s Grace would help

move on the water, but I need to keep moving my feet, or I will be subrged.

Right now, things are even more tricky since the sea is turbulent.

It is the worst environnt in which to walk on water. The sea is turbulent; lightning cracks and the rain is pouring down intensely.

All of it makes things difficult. Its why I moved straight toward the ship, running on the wave.

I was doing it when an arrow ca flying toward

from the ship. Imdiately, I put my shield forward to defend against it.

Clang!

I defended it with my shield but released the problem soon. My feet are getting into the water.

“Fuck!”

I cursed as I pushed the two skills with everything I had, trying to pull them out of the water. If I were subrged, it would be very hard for

to walk on it again.

Thankfully, I could do that, but another arrow was approaching .

It had reached very close to .

Seeing that, I swung my sword toward it. I might be unable to move my shield fast enough to defend against it; the sword is my only choice.

Clang!

My sword hit the arrow and deflected it while I moved my feet, which nearly subrged again.

I only got a mont before another arrow ca, and I prepared to defend against it when a shield appeared before

and stopped it.

I felt relieved seeing that and moved toward the ship; it was in front of , and I needed to react.

The people are still trying to help ; I could feel skills, but just as they ca. The skills of the pirates would neutralize them.

I moved toward the ship and climbed onto the wave. I needed to reach the top of it before I could jump onto the ship.

It will be dangerous, but I have faith in my people.

It’s not like I have a choice; I could see the pirates gaining a hand. They have the advantage of the numbers, and they are powerful.

Given enough ti, there is a good chance they will win, and that will be terrible.

Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.

They know the girls of the Velvet Garden are here. I don’t even want to imagine what would happen if the girls fell into the pirates' hands.

So, I climbed half of the wave when I saw sothing.

I saw the blond man thrown out of the ship, and he was coming toward .

It was a spell that hit it, a Grade IV spell, but he survived that without much damage aside from getting thrown out of the ship.

I was watching him when I saw him adjust his position in the air before landing on the top of the wave. When he did, there was a surprise on his face as he looked at .

“Oh, you haven’t drowned,” he said a mont later. He is standing on the wave without moving.

It seed like the water didn’t affect him.

“It’s not easy,” I replied, moving around the wave. It might not affect it, but it does affect .

“Good, it saved

hassle to collect to collect your head later; soone is paying good money to see you dead,” he said and ca at

fast.

For a mont, I wasn’t able to react at all. The words shocked

too much before putting my shield forward.

Clang!

I defended before taking a rapid steps back.

“What do you an soone is paying good money to see

dead?” I asked. I thought this attack had nothing to do with us; we were just unlucky party to it.

“Not just you,”

“ Soone posted the bounty in Sea City. They want the head of you and two of the whores, while the third one is nad Tara, alive,” he replied and attacked.

Tip!

I couldn’t dodge the attack, but my armor saved .

I couldn’t focus on the battle, hearing that. There is a bounty on our heads; soone wants to kill us, and they want Tara alive.

I imdiately thought of Aardwayn, but I imdiately shook my head.

He wouldn’t want

dead; he would not do anything that jeopardized his legacy; he had no interest in Tara or any other girl.

Prince? I imdiately shook my head.

He slept with her and might have got a little infatuated, but he wouldn’t do this for the sa reason as the Aardwyn; the legacy is more important than any whore.

That leaves only one person; he is the only one with the power and money to post a bounty in sea city.

A titan.

“You attacked us for that?” I asked, to that, he laughed.

“No, you whores weren’t that important to be solely attacked by the alliance, but the big bounty on your heads played a bit part in making this raid happen,” he replied and attacked.

Rip!

He was able to cut across my hand. It’s not a shallow cut.

“Who is it?” I asked. “Don’t know, don’t care. The only thing I care about is money, which I will get after I get your head,” he replied, launching another attack.

I defended, and he attacked again, and I moved back toward another wave. It is moving forward, and it’s very hard not to slip, even with the skill.

I am defending his attacks with everything I have while my mind is focused on the words he has said.

He wants

dead. Most importantly, he wants my charges dead and Tara alive. That is not a good thing; I knew what happened to the girls who fall into the hands of n like that.

They suffer a fate worse than death; I have seen it with my own eyes and wouldn’t even wish that on my enemy.

I cannot let that happen, but here, I am powerless. I barely survive; I don’t know how I will help my girls, whom I promised to protect.

Clang Rip!

I defended another attack, but the next one gave another cut across my stomach.

It was hard to defend against his attacks. He is too powerful, and that is making

feel helpless and causing panic in my heart.

I am not worried about death but the girls under . I could see how large a number of pirates gathered around the door, with guards barely holding them back.

Rip!

His cutlass cut across my thigh, but cutting across my hand.

My vitality is my highest attribute, with Warrior and Madam Class providing resistance to bleeding, but if I kept getting cut as such, I would feel consequences.

I have ready started feeling a little weakness. It has not affected

yet, but it will very soon if I get cut as such.

Rip!

Another cut appeared, and this ti on my neck; a little further, and his cutlass would have cut my artery.

“For an whore, you are quite a fighter,” he said as he ca at

for another attack.

Clang!

I defended with my shield. As for his words, I decided not to focus. I need to survive and keep him here with ; it is the least I could do for the girls.

“Your resistance is fruitless. You should surrender; I promise I will give you a clean death,” it added a mont later.

“Never!” I replied, but the very next mont, I got cut across my stomach once more.

He didn’t say anything and kept attacking , making

push myself and my skills beyond the limit to survive his attacks.

Seconds passed, and more cuts began to appear on my body. They have started to affect

finally.

I thought I had more ti, but there are too many cuts. There is also skill affecting things. His attack skill has a secondary non-clotting effect, which is making

bleed more.

If I didn’t deal with this problem or him. I will die.

“They have gone inside. Your whores will be dead soon!” he said suddenly, and I saw the door of the ship open and several pirates going inside.

“No!” I scread as the horror filled my heart.

“Don’t worry, they won’t kill the whores imdiately. They will kill others, but not the whore; we will be enjoying them first before killing them,” he said with a grin and ca for another attack.

The rage I never felt burned in my heart. I had never felt the rage I am feeling right now.

I activated the Stored Sips, and liquor appeared in my mouth, which I imdiately breathed out with the Power Breath and Long Breath before lighting it up with the flint.

I didn’t use the liquor, seeing it having skill against it, but feeling the rage in my heart and weakness in my body. I am willing to use everything I have.

The fire ca out and covered him fully.

“I told you; it does not work on ,” he said as he ca at

with fire burning over his body.

The fire didn’t seem to touch him; even his clothes were unhard the last ti. It shouldn’t be possible; the fire is strong with the power of mist.

It is powerful enough to burn even a Grade IV spell, but it is not burning his defensive skill.

“Inheritance skill!” I realized, and it filled my heart with shock.

If I hadn't been drunk, I might have realized it sooner. I may have realized it, but it made my expressions worse as it made

understand how big of a trouble I was in.

The enemy is already more powerful than , and Inheritance Skill makes him even more powerful. I might even say, invisible against .

“You are a one-smart whore,” he affird with a big grin on his face.
