City of Desire Novel Chapter 647: Burning Ship

It exploded out of , spreading far and wide.

As it did, it seed to freeze the battle to a standstill, with many heads turning to

a mont later, looking at

with deep shock in their eyes.

I understand what happened. I would be a fool if I didn't.

I had awakened the aura.

Saying I am shocked by it would be an understatent.

The aura is a sign of potential, the strength of the will, while I am a middle-aged whore, with barely any potential. I never thought I had a will as strong as a rock, much less that of steel.

This self-doubt is why I'm having a hard ti believing it, but it is the truth.

The aura returned to

a second later, and I imdiately moved toward my ship.

My purpose hasn't changed. It is to save my girls.

That's why—even after awakening my aura—I kept moving toward the ship. I had to save my girls.

I poured my aura into my skills, but the mont I did, a fierce resistance hit .

Like I am holding a heavy bottle of liquor with hands wet with oil and forcing it into the mouth of a person who has already drunk to the limit.

When Carla awakened the aura, it shocked the girls, and they asked her many questions.

One of them is how to utilize it in skills.

There is only one answer to it: control. The better control one has of their aura, the greater the power they will be able to harness from it.

When the girls asked. What if one doesn't have any control? Then she replied that one should just push it with everything one has.

That is what I am doing.

It is far from efficient, but it is the only choice I have.

"Kill the whore!"

A loud command rang out through the pirate ship, and the next mont, I saw tens of arrows coming toward

with several spells.

Seeing this attack, my heart shuddered, but it didn't stop .

It might seem like suicide, but there is no other choice. I need to reach my girls, and if I have to cross a barrage of spells and arrows, I will do it.

Still, I do not wish to get killed before I save my girls, and thus, I push the aura harder into my skills.

I funneled all the fear I was feeling for the girls and my safety, along with the blazing pain of the arrows buried in .

My desperate push created small crack-like openings. I pushed my aura through those openings with all my will.

Imdiately, I beca faster than before, reaching speeds that surprised .

Even with the burst of speed, dodging every spell and arrow flying my way would be nearly impossible.

But that didn't matter. I'd give it everything I had—because I had to.

Hun!

I was thinking that when I saw the defensive shield spells appearing in front of .

I could see Hen's familiar defensive spells, but many others belonged to others. They all appeared in front of the spells and began to stop them.

However, there were too many attacks, and the shields were not able to stop all of them.

Clang, Clang, Clang!

I put my shield forward and moved my sword as I began to defend against the attacks. However, my focus is on dodging them.

Bam!

The lightning bolt crashed against my shield, and it pushed

back. If there hadn't been an aura covering , it would have done a lot more to .

I stopped and moved forward. Dodging and defending the attacks.

Stolen from its original source, this story is not ant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

So of the people had jumped into the sea to protect , but the pirates jumped in to stop them, not letting even a single one of them co toward .

I was closing the distance fast when the pirates pulled a move that ignited pure fury in my eyes.

They swerved their ship directly in front of .

At first, I braced for a relentless barrage of attacks, expecting spells and arrows to rain down like hellfire. But it didn't co—at least, not in the way I thought. Instead, they'd positioned themselves squarely between

and my ship.

A bold move… and a stupid one.

They'd made themselves a target. My ship wouldn't hold back.

Still, the intensity of their assault did spike, and the shrinking distance only made dodging harder. Every step closer turned the battlefield into a storm of chaos.

It gave

less space to dodge their barrage of arrows and spells.

Rip Rip!

I was barely able to defend against their attacks—so of the arrows and the spells cut through .

The aura is powerful, but its strength lies in control. Currently, I have none. I am pushing the aura harder into my skills to get more power.

With things getting difficult, I forced the aura even more.

Soon, there was barely fifty ters of distance between the pirate ship and , but it was not my target. I need to reach my ship, and I moved left.

I will need to go around, and it won't be easy.

A second later, the pirates reacted, and a group of seven jumped into the turbulent sea and ca toward

fast.

"You can forget about reaching your ship, whore!" said the bald, middle-aged leader as he ca toward .

I didn't stop and moved toward them. Stopping isn't an option; I need to keep moving even if there is a group of pirates coming toward .

I am scared, but they should be more terrified. If they had so sense, they wouldn't have done what they did.

Puch!

I continued moving, and soon, there was only a ter distance between us when an arrow slipped past and lodged itself in my other leg.

It sent fiery pain all over my body and nearly made

stumble.

I bore through the pain and kept moving forward, dodging and defending against the incoming attack.

"Kill the whore!" roared the bald leader and moved toward

with his group.

Whosh!

As he did, liquor appeared in my mouth, and I breathed with a Long Breath and Powerful Breath before lighting up with the Flint.

The fire is extrely potent, and if not for , pouring aura into Minor Fire Resistance. I would have been terrified.

The fire blood out, and their mages reacted imdiately. The shield and protective spells appeared around them.

I could see the confidence in their eyes. I don't know whether these pirates are stupid or if so skill is affecting them. They had seen their leader burned to ashes not long ago, and they are still coming confidently at .

The fire touched the wall of the shield and began burning imdiately.

It made the confidence in their eyes crumble, and they took steps back, but it was already too late.

Whoosh!

It took all but a second for the shields to burn when I released another breath, which went at them while they tried to run in terror.

The pirates on the ship provided support with defensive spells, but as I said, it was already too late.

"Ahhhh!"

They scread as they burned while I moved past them. Not sparing them even another glance.

I could see the pirates that were about to jump from the ship stop in their tracks, but a mont later, the intensified barrage ca toward .

Puch! Puch!

Another two arrows lodged themselves in . Making

grit my teeth tighter as torturous pain filled .

It also made

understand that pirates wouldn't let

go to my ship. One of these tis, an arrow will lodge itself into my head, sending

to the underworld.

Puch!

The closer I got, the more intense the attacks beca. I needed to push my aura into my skills harder and harder for greater speed.

I need speed to dodge these attacks; without it, I will have turned into a porcupine. However, even with it, I am having difficulty dodging and defending against this attack.

One of which went past my eyes, giving

a small cut above my eye. If it had been a little closer, it would have pierced my eyes and killed .

There is only one way I could stop this: to burn the whole thing. Burn the pirate ship.

As I thought about it, I turned toward the ship but understood it wouldn't be easy. Even the most powerful liquor in my arsenal isn't enough to burn the damn thing.

'I hope this won't kill ,' I thought as the four drops of alcohol my body produced rged with the liquor I had in my mouth.

I am already using my most powerful liquor; it is powerful enough to burn Grade IV spells, but that is not enough.

The ship has various protection enchantnts. There are also skills attached to it and spells.

I need sothing powerful to deal with it.

The mont those drops entered the liquor in my mouth, I felt a powerful reaction. The liquor is magically dense, and the drops have an effect on them.

I know, I didn't have ti. If I didn't push it out of my mouth, the next second. It will be

who will burn to death.

I pushed my aura into my skills and breathed out the liquor with Power Breath and Long Breath.

The liquor ca out with force like never before. I felt like I was shooting a cannonball from my mouth instead of unstable liquor.

As it ca out, I lit up with Flint before activating Wide Plu and pushing a massive aura into it.

A massive plu of dense blue fire erupted before , towering and roaring with raw power.

To my amazent, it was over three tis larger than the biggest one I'd ever conjured.

It is burning

despite pushing more aura into Minor Fire Resistance, but I did not care about it, seeing the massive plu, which is now moving fast toward the pirate ship.

I could see the alarm appearing in their eyes as they threw spell after spell at the plu, but not a single one could stop it.

It burned through them, moving closer and closer to the ship.

Hun!

It had almost reached it when a large water shield appeared in front of it

Grade IV spells.

This ship didn't have a High Mage. I turned toward the pirate ship at a distance; there was a High-Mage there, and they had made a move to protect it.

Unfortunately, it will not work.

As I had thought, the fire engulfed the shield, vaporizing it at a visible pace until nothing remained.

I could see the terror in the pirates' eyes as Plu moved toward their ship before crashing hard against it.

Bam!

The ship shook as the plu crashed against it. For a mont, there was nothing; the skills attached to the vessel held it back, but only for an instant.

As the mont passed, the plu incinerated the skills and covered the ship in the blazing fire.

Burning it.
