Du You sneered inwardly. What sort of desperate situation was this? He had once encountered far more dangerous situations when he was alone in the Goblin Forest.
Even now, despite the seemingly perilous situation, he had yet to bring his full strength to bear.
He had not used his Magic Missile, and had left his equipnt behind. Even in terms of skills, he had yet to summon his two summoned creatures, the Violet Lightning Golden Eagle and the Cursed Crow King, relying solely on his Swordsmanship to engage the enemy.
Not far away, his skeleton continued to fight the pirates. However, judging by the skeleton’s state, it probably wouldn’t last long. Many of its bones had been chopped off, and its shield bore multiple dents.
To Du You’s surprise, his skeleton had managed to hold out for this long.
Looking at Teacher Li, there was absolutely no intent on his part to get involved. Regardless of how dangerous it was for the students, Teacher Li simply refused to act.
So, the most significant problem seed to be on the captain’s end. If that Cuttlefish won, it would be impossible to defeat a tier 3 pirate without revealing one’s true strength. The priority now was to figure out a way to deal with that creature.
As Du You fought, he slowly moved toward where the Cuttlefish was battling the captain.
While everyone else was retreating, only Du You was advancing, but his actions didn’t draw much attention. After all, the entire ship was in utter chaos, with cries and screams sounding from all directions.
So of the students were even running around in utter panic, only adding to the chaos.
However, before Du You could get close, he saw soone already making a move on the Cuttlefish.
Nearby, several dark figures suddenly charged out. The Cuttlefish grunted as several hunting dogs appeared out of nowhere, ferociously biting onto its arms and legs, significantly hindering its movents.
Weary of the attack, the Cuttlefish violently tore away the dogs and slamd them onto the ground. The bites from the dogs resulted in minor injuries, diminishing its battle aggressiveness due to the significant level difference.
However, the attack from the dogs gave the captain an opportunity to land two significant wounds on the Cuttlefish, spilling its blood profusely.
"Well done." Du You whispered approvingly, recognizing who was responsible for the dogs.
The other female student with the ability to summon creatures had been the one to summon the hunting dogs in the first place.
However, upon a quick glance, Du You could only sigh in disbelief as he saw the girl cowering behind Xi Qianxue with a terrified look on her face. She was clearly seeking protection, which he doubted was solely due to her own initiation or Xi Qianxue’s request. He felt slightly helpless; this was simply how reality was.
"Damn it, how dare you interrupt a noble and fair duel!" roared the Cuttlefish.
"This is a war, not a duel, so there’s no need for formality," the captain shouted back dismissively, clearly ignoring the so-called rules. However, the captain seed sowhat breathless, looking as though he had significantly depleted his stamina due to his old age.
Infuriated by his injuries, the Cuttlefish began to fight even more fiercely.
Nevertheless, Du You had already made his way close to the ongoing battle. "You haven’t died yet? Then let’s make so good use of your remaining life."
Du You quickly called back his skeleton, who hadn’t been killed yet, without drawing much attention, his eyes frequently focusing on the battlefield. Suddenly, Du You saw a perfect opportunity.
With a wave of his hand, his skeleton instantly appeared, right at the mont when the Cuttlefish launched an attack and right at the spot where the Cuttlefish had left himself exposed. Despite the Cuttlefish’s high level and enormous strength, its basic swordsmanship was nowhere near Du You’s level.
Using such Heavy Weapons, Du You could instantly spot the Cuttlefish’s weakness. The appearance of the skeleton forced the Cuttlefish to halt its attack, it was injured by the skeleton’s sword thrust.
"Roar..." The Cuttlefish roared in anger, but to no avail.
On the contrary, the captain seized this opportunity to stab his longsword into the Cuttlefish’s left hand, disabling its use completely. The weapon it was initially wielding with both hands was now being utilized with only one hand, sharply reducing its agility and threat level.
Setting down his longsword, Du You quickly took out his Battle Bow and fired an arrow without any hesitation. By now, he had closed in to six ters from the battlefield, taking advantage of the enhanced attributes provided by the Spiritual Lock skill. Within six ters, his arrows acted as extensions of his arms, far outperforming any Tier 3 archery skill.
In what seed like a random barrage of arrows, each one precisely targeted the Cuttlefish’s weak spots, forcing it to evade desperately as its injuries gradually increased.
"Incredible! So, close-quarters archery is his real forte!" Daniu exclaid, having reappeared at Xi Qianxue’s side at so point, his body covered with blood and flesh.
After experiencing the baptism of battle, Xi Qianxue had grown more accustod to such a situation and did not feel as uncomfortable as before.
Xi Qianxue, along with the surrounding people, watch Du You with shimring eyes as he was extrely eye-catching at that mont. Even Lin Feng, the Archer, stared resentfully at Du You. However, he was equally astounded by Du You’s archery skills. This guy hadn’t seed so powerful before.
There was no way Du You would explain everything to them, he just needed to focus on what he was doing.
"Look, the navy’s ships! Our reinforcents are here!" Suddenly, a student shouted.
In the distance, a dozen black figures were rapidly closing in. At such ti, the only people who could possibly arrive would be the navy. Everyone realized that an hour had already passed. The third phase had begun.
"Damn it, you bastards, how dare you set an ambush!"
Facing the Cuttlefish’s roar, the captain contemptuously responded, "To deal with you pirates, we don’t need to consider any ans. Listen to , everyone, do your utmost to stop them. Don’t let them escape."
Seeing the navy’s arrival, the pirates all started to think about retreating.
Xi Qianxue took a deep breath, directing her Magic Staff at the two ships in the distance. "Spark."
Her large area control skill was displayed once again, a vast field of sparks ignited out of nowhere. This ti, the angle was quite particular, covering two adjacent ships. Half of one ship and a third of the other ship were set ablaze by the sparks.
In an instant, the sails of the two intact ships were ignited, the blaze swiftly ruining the sails. At this point, only one ship was completely intact out of the five.
"All Mages, focus your fire on the last ship, now." Despite her headache, Xi Qianxue shouted.
