Chapter 252: Are You Really My Son?
Even though no one knew how the sea monster finally died, Karoso and his friends were treated like heroes.
As soon as Karoso got on the ship, the pirates tossed him into the air.
"Hahaha, well done, Jack!"
"You really made a breakthrough at the last moment!"
"How did you make that final strike? Its tentacles were cut off in an instant, and it even had a big hole in its body."
"That Will guy didn’t even show any sixth-tier skills."
Will watched from the side, unable to calm down for a long time.
He is seventh-tier, so he should be the main fighter in this battle, but he was always protecting Elizabeth, while Karoso, a fifth-tier, charged ahead.
A fifth-tier warrior against a seventh-tier monster should only be defeated in an instant, but Karoso managed to keep fighting with that Naga thanks to his excellent battle experience.
Especially when Karoso made a last-minute breakthrough to enhance his magic power and took down the sea monster in one hit, it was hard for Will to accept.
In fact, even if Karoso used the power of ‘death,’ he was still just a sixth-tier and could only deal some damage to that sea monster.
But he and Minaret worked together perfectly; Minaret attacked from the future, while Karoso created chances for Minaret from the past, making it seem like they teamed up to defeat the sea monster.
In this battle, even Karoso was confused, let alone Will, who was at the seventh tier.
After Elizabeth boarded the ship, she did not feel any thrill of surviving; her mind was a jumbled mess full of chaotic thoughts.
Karoso kissed me…
Boohoo…
Even though he took the lead, does that mean I’m just inexperienced?
Hmm, his movements were so awkward; it was like he was just giving me air, and he didn’t even think about sticking out his tongue. Is my charm really that weak?
But the boy’s lips were so soft…
He was too rough at first, just like a little wolf pup.
Thinking of this, Elizabeth couldn’t help but lick her lips.
Seeing Elizabeth like this, Will felt even more troubled.
Elizabeth stared blankly at Karoso; this time, he saved me again.
How many times has it been? Every time I am in danger, he is by my side…
Just then, the bald pirate came to Elizabeth, looked her over, and sighed with relief, "Are you okay?"
"I’m fine, thank you," Elizabeth said, coming back to her senses.
"It’s too dangerous. Why did you make a sound at first?" the bald pirate complained. "If you had died, how would I explain it to your mother?"
"I…"
Elizabeth opened her mouth.
Just now, her mind was filled with love and thoughts about men; now she is thinking about real-life problems.
She was a sixth-tier, someone who should protect this big boy named Karoso, but in the end, it was Karoso who protected her and saved her.
She was a sixth-tier, but she was not nearly as good as Karoso, who was a fifth-tier.
In fact, she felt that her role was even less useful than that Naga.
"Uncle, I want to become stronger!" Elizabeth said firmly, "I don’t want to be protected anymore."
The bald man was surprised for a moment, then helplessly replied, "Alright, alright, but if you want to get stronger, you have to start from the basics. I don’t know how your uncle taught you; your combat experience is really terrible."
"Oh my, once you got into the sea, you were a complete disaster for your teammates!"
"If you had been on the shore just now, I would have kicked your behind hard with my boots!"
……
The crowd cheered for a while before they put Karoso down.
Tige walked in front of Karoso and said, "How do your eyes feel?"
"Everything looks very blurry." Karoso felt this way as soon as he got on shore; it was as if his vision was slipping away.
"That’s why I said, don’t use this strange power." Tige’s big hand covered Karoso’s eyes, "In the future, when you are not in a desperate situation, do not use this power; it could kill you."
Karoso only felt a cool sensation on his eyes, which was very pleasant.
Soon, Tige removed his hand, and Karoso’s vision returned.
"This is a double-edged sword; its strength lies in its rules. With your current body, you cannot control this power at all," Tige explained.
"Thank you, Father." Karoso nodded.
"Come with me; I have something to tell you."
Soon, the two arrived at the captain’s cabin.
Ancient ships are different from modern ones; in this era, the ship’s wheel is not far from the bow, allowing the captain to see far ahead.
The captain’s cabin is simply a place for the captain to rest.
Inside, the layout is very simple: there is a suit of clothes hanging, a knife, and a map.
There is a bed for resting, an old desk, and a chair; this is where Tige, the Pirate King, rests.
Normally, Tige would take two women out to sea, and when he was done with them, he would give them to other pirates, ultimately throwing them into the sea.
The life of a pirate is bloody and brutal.
However, this journey is very important for Tige, and he has no plans to indulge in comfort.
"The two attacks earlier were not from you, so that sea monster was not killed by you," Tige said quietly, looking at Karoso.
"Hmm." Karoso nodded, "I can go kill another one."
"Ha, that’s not what I meant. Once it’s dead, it’s dead." Tige smiled and then looked at Karoso seriously, "About the previous Devil Fish, the two attacks that followed, and the two shadows of dark elves that appeared, do you know anything?"
"This shouldn’t be hidden from father." Karoso neither said he knew nor said he didn’t.
If he said he didn’t know, Tige would likely find that he was lying.
Lying in front of such an experienced old pirate is not a wise choice.
But he also couldn’t say he knew, or else he wouldn’t know what to face.
"Hahahaha… you really can’t hide anything from me." Tige raised an eyebrow, "That attack… came from the future."
Karoso silently looked at Tige and said nothing.
Tige sat in his big chair, his brow furrowed, "The power from the future, very interesting. It is indeed the Forbidden Sea, where even such nonsense can happen."
"I really want to know what my future self is like…"
"For pirates, the unknown is the most interesting; that is the meaning of adventure," Karoso said.
"You’re right, the unknown is the most interesting," Tige looked outside, "You know, I want to think deeply, but there is a force stopping me from thinking."
"I want to think deeply, but I can’t."
"I want to use my strength to explore, but this barrier is as hard as the membrane I pierced when I was a virgin; no matter how I try, I can’t get through."
"This force even stops me from asking where your power comes from, what your magic is, and why your fighting style… is so different from ours!"
"Are you really my son?"
