Underwater, Carl and Hope followed the light emitted by the dragon crystal and explored the dragon pattern's induction on the dragon crystal. Finally, they found this unexpected fortune before the dragon crystal sank completely to the bottom of the sea.

Even through the power armor, Carl could feel that his exploration dragon pattern was resonating with the Siberys dragon crystal.

The bearers of the dragonmark are also known as the descendants of Siberys.

No one knows when this name came down.

But within the Dragonmark Family and in many ancient organizations, Dragonmark holders are usually referred to in this way.

After getting the dragon crystal, Carl pointed towards the sea surface.

Hope, who was standing by, understood what Carl meant and hugged him.

Driven by the flames released by the power armor, the two resurfaced to the surface of the sea.

"Carl! Look! Is that a ship?!"

Just after taking two breaths, Carl heard Hope's excited voice.

Following Hope's line of sight, sure enough, an old-fashioned ketch was faintly visible.

"This boat is really fast. We didn't even see its shadow before we dived down. As soon as we surfaced, it came right over."

"But don't be too happy yet. This kind of ship is usually considered a pirate ship on the sea. Get ready for action later."

After adjusting the power armor's energy output to the lowest level, Carl felt the fire element energy gradually filling up the dragon crystal and poured a bucket of cold water on Hope beside him.

"Oh! That's nothing! No matter how ruthless the pirates are, can they be more ruthless than the ogre warlords and gnoll bandits of Zoram?"

After hearing Carl's warning, Hope sneered and stretched his muscles.

"I forgot that you used to make a living in Zoram. It's hard to say who is more ruthless between you and the pirates."

Because they had been together for so long, Carl almost forgot that Hope was from Droam.

Hope raised his head, patted his chest, and said to Carl:

"When the boat comes over later, watch my instructions!"

It is difficult to judge who is more ruthless, the pirates or the residents of Droum.

But when the brig gradually became clear in the eyes of Carl and Hope, they were sure that killing all the guys on the ship would definitely be a meritorious deed.

On the sea, shark fins were constantly swimming around the ship.

Judging from the number of fins, there were at least dozens of sharks.

This means that the ship had dropped enough fresh carcasses not long ago to make the sharks think it would continue to drop carcasses, so they kept following it.

500 meters, 200 meters, 100 meters. When the schooner was about 50 meters away from the two, Carl suddenly activated the jet device of the power armor and jumped out of the water with Hope.

Carl threw Hope towards the stern and fell rapidly towards the bow.

The power armor wrapped in flames kicked directly at the muscular man who looked the most difficult to deal with, while Hope used rage and elemental battle blades in mid-air, and swung the two battle axes in his hands at the pirate who was suspected to be the captain.

However, the people on the pirate ship were not unprepared for the two men. As soon as Carl jumped out of the water, these guys had already activated various magic items on their bodies.

Suddenly, the ship was lit up with magical flashes of various colors.

"Bang!"

The powerful flaming kick was blocked by the burly pirate at the bow, and several pirate sailors nearby swung their swords at Carl.

"clang--"

There was nothing wrong with Carl's power armor, but the weapons of these pirates were chipped and broken.

Both sides were in tacit understanding and did not communicate any words, they just focused on hacking and killing.

【Thunder Wave】

Seeing that there were too many pirates around, Carl directly released a group attack spell.

The dozen or so pirates surrounding him did not expect that a guy wearing heavy armor could use this kind of spell, and they were all affected for a moment.

The effect of this attack was so exaggerated that even Carl himself was stunned for half a second.

Carl, wearing power armor, has a strength attribute of around 16 points, which is basically the same as the world boxing champion in his previous life.

So the effect of this punch is normal.

Of course, the main reason is that the pirates who were attacked were of poor quality.

This group of guys who make a living on the sea often suffers from casualties due to various factors, and it always takes time to train new members.

That guy is just a level 2 fighter, and his physical fitness is not very high.

Just then, a loud noise was heard from the stern.

The 3-meter-tall Hope faced the pirate captain with an axe, and their weapons collided with each other, making a loud noise.

The pirate captain's weapon has a bright purple luster all over. It is a weapon made of "Beitie" and has special damage to life forms from the chaotic kingdom.

However, even if you are not dealing with mutated monsters from the chaotic kingdom, weapons made of Beitie still have a natural damage bonus.

Coincidentally, the origin of this thing is Hope's hometown, the Gray Wall Mountains of Droam.

The sharp-eyed Hope had naturally recognized this weapon a long time ago, so at this moment she was muttering "1,500 gold coins" while madly attacking the pirate captain.

Yes, Beitie weapons can be sold for as low as 1,500 gold coins.

Seeing that Hope was so energetic, Carl didn't dare to fall behind.

He stretched out his hand and a sledgehammer almost as tall as his power armor appeared in his hand.

This was created when he was free while making magic devices in the dungeon.

Because it is a hammer, which is considered a magic weapon of the artificer, Carl also used the Arcane Knight's magic weapon connection on it.

The shape of the entire hammer is based on Thor's hammer Mjolnir, but the handle is much longer than the original.

Holding the hammer handle with both hands, Carl lowered his body, then used his feet as fulcrums, mobilized the strength of his entire body, and swung the giant hammer.

With a "thump", the sturdy pirate who was about to move forward was knocked away.

Carl followed the force and started spinning in circles on the deck.

Seeing the first mate on the ship being knocked away by Carl, the remaining pirates immediately panicked.

But there are always brave people who like to take risks. Seeing that no one else dared to go up, several pirates wearing blindfolds nimbly climbed up the mast nearby and tried to jump down from above to assassinate Carl.

These guys are obviously wanderers, and of a high level.

But when they actually implemented this tactic, Carl changed the angle of the hammer swing and stopped the hammer with their body.

The sound of broken sternums echoed on the deck, where the wanderers lay sprawled, with no one knowing whether they were alive or dead.

"Friend! Is there some misunderstanding between us? You have to think carefully. If we all die, there will be no one to drive the boat for you!"

Just as Carl and Hope were preparing to gradually eliminate all the pirates on the pirate ship, the pirate captain who was being defeated by Hope finally spoke up.

The first sentence he said directly hit the soft spot of the two people.

"Ha! What you said makes sense! But the guide only needs an obedient person, and you are obviously not the obedient one!"

"So, die here, scum!"

The energy within the dragon crystal was activated, and surging flames spurted out from Carl's body.

He jumped high and attacked Hope when he hesitated because of the pirate captain's words.

"I will set the sea on fire!"
