Chapter 590: The ability of Embarkment

Sheyan couldn’t fathom how deep he submerged within this short span of time.

Suddenly, a gust of tremendous force swept in like a 12 grade hurricane gale. Sheyan directly shut his eyes, only until he felt a bewildering weightlessness did he opened it.

This time, Sheyan discovered he was inside a massive air bubble.

Seaweed danced around him within the clear seawater, while rich and diverse coral reefs laid before his eyes. A liquid lens appeared in the vast body of water before him, reflecting all kinds of scenes in front of him.

This should be the summary location, separating the Pirates of the Caribbean world and the nightmare realm.

All of a sudden, the nightmare imprint transmitted the following notification.

[ Scanning....contestant no.1018: Eyeball ruptured with 3rd degree necrosis ]

[ Scanning…...contestant no.1018: Vanished upper limb, corroded by an unknown force ]

[ Scanning…...contestant no.1018: Inflicted with 4th degree curse, infected deeply ]

[ Warning: Your wounds and curse has surpassed the scope of a free restoration. You must pay a fixed fee to heal your limbs and eliminate the curse ]

Sheyan sighed. Could he not repair now? Could he return to the realm while carrying a sickly and aged body?

More essentially, the Aztec curse would deduct random attribute points every 24 hours. If Sheyan didn’t remove it, he would very possibly lose 20-30 attribute points the next time he returned to the realm!

After choosing a restoration, Sheyan instantly drew in a breath of chilling air. Even after discounts from his military rank, he unexpectedly needed 25,300 utility points for a full recovery!

Sighing helplessly, he could only grit his teeth to such a monopolistic trade.

Soon after, that liquid lens bubbled towards him before transforming into a rapid swirling vortex. One could observe threads of black gas seeping out of Sheyan’s body.

Upon careful inspection of those threads of black gas, they appeared to be symbol characters of the Aztec empire. If translated to his mother tongue, it would mean extinction, extermination, accursed, venom, kill, widower and various other vile intentions!

With every emulsion of black gas, Sheyan could feel his body turning lighter. After what seemed like a minute, Sheyan felt as though he was released from a huge burden. Especially when he felt as though his innate ability ‘Stronghold’ couldn’t be overwhelmed by the grinding of the curse, he felt brand new with vigorous vitality flowing within him.

Witnessing this situation, a discrete comprehension formed within Sheyan’s mind.

Perhaps if I am inflicted with the Aztec curse again, the curse would be suppressed even further by my innate ability!

And if I encounter it again, there would a chance it would eventually reach a certain resistance and be utterly negated.

More crucially, he reckoned that if he wanted to continue improving his innate ability, he must probably temper it with dreadful curses; refining it till it successfully up rank.

While Sheyan was contemplating all these, time swiftly trickled away. The realm quickly notified him.

[ The Aztec curse on you has been dispelled ]

Following that, Sheyan’s eyes and arm slowly rejuvenated from the moisty water. Seeing the cell reproduction of his own flesh and bones, it issued a sensation causing his hair to stand on end.

"I wonder how Reef and Brother Black are doing?" Sheyan suddenly remembered them.

Back then, both of them had fled hastily. In Sheyan’s conjecture, there wouldn’t be much suspense once the superiority of the Black Pearl diminishes on dry land.

Once both of them reached the nearest town, they would seek horses and slay the other horses. That would help them drag for more time.

Without any mishaps….anyway, this was all beyond Sheyan’s influence and he couldn’t assist in any aspect.

Nevertheless, both Reef and Mogensha were already prominent figures before they met him. Regardless of experience of strength, they weren’t lacking at all. It shouldn’t be a problem for them.

Closely following, the familiar scenes were projected which didn’t need much elaboration.

The longest scenario was of the Dingyuan braving through the billowing waves and gales, ramming in with loftiness of the highest quality; compacting the ‘pink and delicate’ Black Pearl to bend into the sea! It appears that the Black Pearl, the main ship of the Pirates of the Caribbean world, truthfully experienced a massive deviation from the storyline due to this crushing and humiliating battle.

Obviously, colour attention was also accorded to the death of a crucial storyline character, Little Lord Fokke.

Henceforth, the holocaust created before he perished would deeply influence this world in a profound and long-lasting fashion. Most importantly, one of the seven pirate lords, Chevalle, may possibly perish from this pandemic. These were all major affairs that would shake this very world.

The realm that projected out the following message.

[ Setting: Pirates of the Caribbean world ]

[ Difficulty: B-, after accepting the hidden main mission, it scaled to ‘A’ ]

[ Pain limitations: 50% ]

[ Individual capability enhancement: 0% ]

[ Current setting exploration rate: 28.33% ]

[ Acquired new titles: Pirate captain, Fearless, Smuggler ]

[ Smuggler: Additional 5% preferential treatment when transacting with storyline characters ]

[ You currently possess 10 titles. However, you only reached this goal after 7 worlds which vastly exceeds the hidden limitation of acquiring 10 titles within 2 worlds. You have met the qualifications of a legend level upgrade, please hurry and raise your 10 titles to the Black-Iron class ]

[ Mission exploration rate: 85% ]

[ Mission completion score: D+ (You only satisfy the lowest checkpoint for your hidden main mission ]

[ Reward analysis: You receive 1+1 free attribute points (+1 legend level). You now possess 10 free attribute points, please allocate them to your basic attributes. Otherwise, idle free attribute points would still be factored into difficulty modulus ]

[ Mission exploration/completion reward: 11,000 + 1,214 (Silver party leader reward) utility points. 6 potential points ]

The mission score evaluation dropping during this summary phase was within Sheyan’s expectations. It was analogous to a teacher not being fond of a student that only pursues to score 60 points in his test.

Still, the mission exploration rate of 85% was a surprise for Sheyan. This was because he didn’t even expend much effort to explore the side missions! But on hindsight, wouldn’t the side mission of the ‘Dead Sea Scroll’ be counted as the most substantial? Although it didn’t take the form of a mission.

Besides that, Sheyan did remember that acquiring titles would result in a +1 legend level. Yet back then, he wasn’t aware of how valuable legend level was and didn’t reckon he could obtain it so easily.

Looking back, it was indeed so. To acquire a +1 legend level for one’s preliminary entrance to the nightmare realm, one actually required earning 10 titles within 2 worlds. This posed a humongous challenge even with the support of a large size party.

[ Note! Note! Your possess the ‘Pirate Captain’ title in this world. Do you possess your own ship? ]

All of a sudden, a series of sounds resounded in Sheyan’s ears. He initially thought this summary phase was over, and didn’t expect such a sudden notification. Thus, he immediately selected ‘yes’.

The nightmare imprint transmitted once again.

[ You obtain the active ability: Embark – You will receive a free communication opportunity with your crew in intervals of 7 days. This communication will not exceed 5 minutes ]

[ Apart from that within the 7 days interval, you can still utilize utility points to communicate. At anytime, you can communicate to your crew, giving instructions and providing simple manipulation of the ship. Of course, that would incur additional costs. The more often you communicate, the greater the costs. Your military rank can affect discounts of such costs ]

Evidently, this method absolved one of Sheyan’s huge problem. He immediately utilized his first communication with the Dingyuan.

In a twinkling of an eye, a mystical sensation overwhelmed him. It was as though his soul had traversed through space and time, as it embarked the Dingyuan!

Sheyan became instantly aware that with his sudden disappearance, Blacksail started having his individual ideologies. Instead, Taitish was thinking about how she would deal with the gypsies alone if Sheyan died. Ol’Seadog was silently drinking rum, while Big Beard Davies was devoutly praying to his Ice goddess. To his surprise, even Philips was exceptionally worried for his safety.

" My servants. "

Sheyan willed his consciousness to his subordinates. Against his expectations, the entire ship rumbled with a majestic voice, sounding as though the Sea Giant had resurrected!

Instantly, the lackadaisical pirates of the ship flared up. On this ship, Sheyan’s dignity was contested by no other.

Sheyan then proceeded to offer them a lie, that he had encountered a merchant ship from the east, and followed them to dispel his cursed body. However, the dispelling process would require a definite period of time

However, he met a mysterious necromancer of board that eastern merchant ship. Through his assistance, he could continue instructing the Dingyuan from afar!

Following that, Sheyan started making several adjustments. In general, the many regulations of the ship remained unchanged.

The morale of the pirates immediately skyrocketed because they knew their formidable captain still dwelled amongst them. Moreover, he could watch over them unbridled by the fetters of space and time. That alone, was sufficient for them.
