Bro, I'm not an Undead!



Allora's Hidden Class, the Charmed Illimitable Rounder, allowed her to gain a limitless amount of mana which continuously poured from her mana core once a certain condition was met.

This condition was that she had to suffer damage to her mana core while in combat.

As simple as it sounded, it wasn't the easiest thing to bear. From the moment Allora acquired her new class, her abdominal region had become a fragile zone that allowed any mildly forceful hits to come into contact with her mana core.

Her mana core became susceptible to damage as well, though whatever damage it sustained was the reason why mana would flood out of it without end – which was extremely dangerous.

The tall woman had never been so glad to have a decent level of mana manipulation. Thanks to it, she was able to keep her mana core stable after the damage was received.

As Allora stood on deck, she felt the pulses of pain from her mana core radiate throughout her entire body. If her mana core was damaged enough, she would die with certainty, especially if an enemy knew about her weakness.

 Thankfully, for the current endeavour, she had received a friendlier blow from Grim after exchanging a few blows in order to achieve the accomplish the condition required for boundless mana.

A wave of energy furiously bellowed from her body.

The deck rattled as the endless amount of blue quality mana shuddered out of her and rose madly with a brilliant glow.

At the same time, the two enemy ships flanked Replicus' ship, getting a little too close with each moment.

The Penetrator, while emanating a voracious sort of might, like his Unlimited, raised his hand.

Around the great ship, four large, dark orbs appeared on each of its sides, a tremendous amount of energy pouring into them.

At once, the ship on the right became encased in a oval, jade-coloured barrier that had thorny patterns at its base. It was transparent, allowing outsiders to vaguely see the umbrella-shaped shield over its deck, along with its dark hull.

The one on the left disappeared from the sea as soon as the orbs emerged, and appeared upside down, right above Replicus' vessel, flying at a speed that matched it!

Replicus scoffed.

What obvious mockery.

He turned his attention back to the ship on his right.

The four Gravitational orbs standing between his ship and this one should have sent it flying thousands of meters away with barely any resistance, but because of the jade, circular barrier, the best they could do was keep this ship from approaching further.

It resisted the repulsive force coming from the four obs.

A barrier of that level produced so quickly...

It could only be...

"Hey, Warding Pride! Why don't you be more open with your hostility?" Replicus called out to the ship on the right.

A moment later, the golden glow around it receded to show a woman with blue skin from her neck leaning against the edge of ship, looking at Replicus with a pair of lazy eyes.

It was indeed Warding Pride, decked in a soft, revealing white dress that barely hid what was underneath it.

She wore a look of disgust, likely because she had been made to see what was behind Replicus' helmet the last time they met.

"More open?" she responded with a snort.

Replicus seemed thoroughly amused by the look on her face.

Just as he had imagined, aiming for the masked man when he was a target for a lot of Factions was a fool's errand. No one would let him and his group charge ahead. He had to kill or immobile all his pursuers first.

Right then, the ship above him dispelled the umbrella-shaped shield over its inverted deck and three figures stormed down immediately!

"Allora," Replicus said calmly the instant the figures shot down.

The Unlimited who looked to have sunken in the feeling of her boundless mana so much that her eyes had become glazed, took a sharp breath, reined in a phenomenal amount of focus and gave a grunt of immense effort!

The coat of white surging around her shuddered and swiftly sank into the deck of the ship which shone magnificently!

At the same time, Replicus knelt down and touched the smooth surface of the deck.

A swift tracing of light different from the mana surging into the Mythical grade vessel crawled over the deck, and the hull of the ship.

From the moment Replicus returned to Deign from the Severed Union to find the great vessel already delivered, he had thought of skills he could apply to the sea locomotive with [Wealth of Spoils].

The particular one he added to the ship right now worked well with the surging mana flaring within the vessel, as well his own blend of unique abilities!

Over the hull of the ship, nine large ethereal cannons tinged with a soft turquoise hue emerged, their dark hollows pointed at Warding Pride's ship!

The female Faction leader frowned at the sight, dismissing it at first, but then...

Her eyes bulged and she attempted to recover the instant she let her hubris take over... yet to no avail!

The first shot was fired from one of the cannons, a brilliant radiance engulfing the surroundings for a furious second.

Warding Pride did not let the blinding light fool her. The real attack had already arrived.

It was barely visible, travelling as a blotch that neither had colour, nor proper distinction from the surroundings!

This attack, rather, shot, reached her jade barrier before she could mobilise her mana... and left a wide, clean spherical hole through it, undaunted and unrestrained in the least!

An instant later, a portion of the quarter deck to her ship was gone, deleted perfectly with a clean, curved edge, as though a circular character had passed through it at godly speed!

Donning the fiercest look she could muster, Warding Pride injected as much of her focus as she could before the second cannon fire, where it was aiming likely to reduce half of her crew to nothingness!

Mana poured from her genuine purple core to construct a grand gate as large as her ship was broad, its face decorated with four spindly, ugly humanoid figures dressed in hides, their upper torso converging in the middle of the gate to form a four-coloured swirl!

The moment the second shot was fired, it blasted against the gate.

The great, bizarre barrier held, but...

...!

It was pushed back by an overwhelming force that made it strike against Warding Pride's ship violently, almost capsizing it!

'What the hell are those cannons firing?!' Warding Pride thought in shock, as the remaining seven cannons fired as well, making her turn a little pale.

Unfortunately for her, while she was being held down by the cannons, Replicus wasn't paying her much focus at all.

Instead, he looked up.

The umbrella-shaped glow above the deck to his ship was flaring like the sun, charged with so much mana that the assailants that had fallen on it where unable to break it as easily as they had thought initially.

They stood over the glow, glaring at Replicus and his crew.

The Titan World Storm Penetrator narrowed the blaze from his sockets.

An additional figure fell from the inverted ship above and landed among her mates.

At the first sign of her, Replicus knew she was trouble.

She wasn't the Faction leader, but she was an Incandescent Stage expert... and one with a Hidden Class. How her mana flowed didn't conform to the patterns of normal and advanced classes.

She locked eyes with Replicus who remained focused on the cannons, more than a little condescension showing in her eyes.

Then she spoke.

"Majestic Territory..."
