Pirates' Max Level System

"You have provoked the wrong people, the undead. Reverse Cross Slash." The Red Earl and Ayi Du fought several times in a row, seizing the opportunity to suppress the main Ayi Du's bone scepter in one fell swoop and repel him.

Then, the Red Earl's staff sword slashed twice, from bottom to top, from right to left, outlining a black cross that clasped Ayi Du's body. The pitch-black cross dragged Ayi Du backward, shattering the black waves behind him until it crashed into the wall of a house and came to a stop.

The death tide that had been disturbing the Red Earl retreated back into Ayi Du's body as he was knocked away by Ayi Du, and the entire street suddenly became much emptier.

"Smash it." Looking at Ayi Du lying against the wall, the Red Earl spat and was about to leave.

"Where are you going, Red Earl? The game has just begun."

Chapter 452: Phantom Clone

"Impossible. No one could be hit head-on by a Reverse Cross Slash." Hearing that peculiar voice, the Red Earl turned in disbelief, swallowing back the words he was about to say after seeing something. After a moment, he continued, "I understand."

Before the Red Earl's eyes, Ayi Du, who had collapsed against the wall, had stood up, a faint smile on his face, giving him the impression of a cheerful young man. Of course, it would have been better if there weren't those flying black objects around him and a huge cross-shaped wound on his chest.

These black substances squirmed on Ayi Du's wounds. It only took about a second for the wounds to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye in front of the Red Earl, and the torn clothes were repaired together.

Ayi Du at this moment was exactly the same as when the two had just met, as if time had gone back.

"This is what you rely on." Knowing that the other party would not let him go easily, the Red Earl gradually became angry. The most infuriating thing was that he didn't even know why the other party came to make trouble.

Ayi Du didn't care much about the Red Earl's provocative words. The dead didn't have too many emotions, and the same was true for high-level undead like them.

"How can it be called reliance? This is an instinct, just like your wound will scab over." Ayi Du twisted his joints and said something meaningful.

In the brief confrontation just now, Ayi Du had not been without some gains. The tide of death still touched the Red Earl, especially the wound on his left arm. At this time, the Red Earl's left arm began to show signs of decay from the wound, like a withered plant, covered with the gray-black color that symbolizes death.

The Red Earl also noticed the state of his left arm. This state was very similar to one of his abilities, aging. Unfortunately, this trick was useless to him. He was the one who mastered this ability, so how could he not know how to deal with it?

The Red Earl pressed his left arm with his right hand, and the next second the aging force was removed, and his arm returned to its original appearance.

"You really do possess that kind of power." Seeing this scene, Ayi Du mistakenly thought that the Red Earl was a person with divine power, and he also firmly believed that the sealing talisman was in the hands of the Red Earl.

It was a truly dramatic misunderstanding. To believe that a vampire-like being possessed divine power was truly embarrassing for the vampire. However, the two of them couldn't possibly say, "Find an opportunity to sit down for tea and clear up the misunderstanding."

There was no such opportunity. Because, after adding the buffs, the two of them started fighting directly.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but I know I'm going to chop you into pieces and see if your instincts can still save you."

The Red Earl suddenly accelerated, disappearing from his position. When he reappeared, he was already above Ayi Du. His pitch-black staff sword pierced down like a streak of black lightning, aiming for Ayi Du's crown. The Red Earl seemed to be trying to see what would happen if he stabbed him through the head.

Ding. The tip of the staff sword collided not with bone, but with a pitch-black shield. Ayi Du, not wanting to be a chain of flesh and bones, summoned the Black Shield the moment the Red Earl vanished. A shield composed of a highly concentrated black substance.

The Red Earl's black "fangs" thrust continuously attacked Ayi Du from all directions. Ayi Du used this black shield to block most of the critical damage, and the remaining minor injuries recovered automatically in less than a second.

This wasn't going to go well. The Red Earl was furious when he saw Ayi Du's nonchalant demeanor. He felt helpless. The black shield seemed to have automatic defense, always predicting the direction of his attack. He had to bring out his full strength.

The Red Earl bit his finger, and a few drops of dark red blood fell into the air. As soon as the dark red blood left the Red Earl's body, it began to expand violently.

In the blink of an eye, a few drops of blood transformed into three lumps of flesh, and finally into the appearance of the Red Earl. Aside from the face being a little blurry in comparison, the three Red Earls were identical to the original in height, clothing, and the staffs and swords they held.

This is not an illusion, it is the Red Earl's innate ability. His blood essence can create flesh and blood puppets with consciousness and thinking. The previous fake "Olivia" also used this skill.

The Red Earl called this move "Phantom Clone," but don't ignore it just because it's a clone. As long as the Red Earl is willing to pay a sufficient price and blood essence, the Phantom Clone's strength can even be exactly the same as his.

With the phantom clones, it was Ayidu's turn to have a hard time. Facing four red earls who couldn't tell which was the real one and which was the clone, Ayidu's black shield couldn't protect him all the time. There was always a staff sword that suddenly stabbed in and took away a piece of Ayidu's flesh and blood.

Four blurry figures swarmed around Ayi Du, and sword shadows from all directions transformed into a storm of blades that enveloped Ayi Du. The ground was soon covered with the black substance that had splattered from Ayi Du's body.

The Red Earl was already preparing his killing move. Even the most powerful undead had weaknesses, and that was where their souls resided. The Red Earl could sense that during his frantic attack on Ayi Du, Ayi Du would subconsciously protect his head first. Was it true that the soul was also stored in the skull?

A hint of cruelty crept into the Red Earl's mouth, and the speed of his sword thrusts and slashes increased again. The three clones did the same, transforming into three blood-red figures that appeared around Ayi Du.

The blood-red figure gradually melted away, transforming into blood swords. Thousands of blood swords pierced back and forth through Ayi Du's body, and the black matter could not be carried away by the blood swords, like a fountain.

"Phantom Strangulation." The Red Earl transformed his clone into a blood sword to strangle the enemy. This move was not only highly lethal, but also very shocking. The only drawback was that the cost was too high.

When the strangulation was over, thousands of red silk threads dispersed, revealing Ayi Du's current appearance.

The black shield had disappeared, and the "human"-looking Ayi Du was no longer visible. What appeared was a skeleton covered with black flesh and blood. The only thing that was intact was the bone scepter, which was still as white as jade.

"Die, Fang."

"This is the final blow, undead." The Red Earl swung his staff sword, and his fangs pierced Ayi Du's skull.

"My name is Ayidu, the Red Earl." Ayidu, who had been acting like he was at the end of his rope, suddenly said something playful to the Red Earl.

The Red Earl felt something was wrong, but it was already too late.

"Black coffin."

The black substance on the ground moved instantly and turned into a huge black coffin that trapped the two of them.

Chapter 453: Embarrassing Escape

Compared with the black coffin, the black cover that trapped the Red Earl and Ayi Du looked more like a giant iron maiden made of black matter.

Ayi Du was well aware that he was only at the peak of the general's strength. If it weren't for his near-immortality and vast energy reserves, he wouldn't have been able to escape from the Red Earl, let alone deal with him.

Because of his Death Domain, Ayidu is the nemesis of most Devil Fruit users, but who has he been fighting recently? Navy Admiral Kong Gukong and the aloof Red Earl. Sorry, these two are not Devil Fruit users now.

In short, Ayi Du, a fleet commander, was badly beaten by two groups of enemies, and he had to use his powerful recovery ability to cover up the fact that he was being beaten.

These days, you have to act. Those with poor acting skills don’t even have a chance to survive.

After the Red Earl summoned his phantom clone, Ayi Du was basically in a passive state of being beaten. If he really relied on his strength, Ayi Du did not think he could find an opportunity to severely damage the Red Earl.

Hence the scene of sleeping on brushwood and tasting gall, but playing the victim was also part of his plan, the only way to lower the Red Earl's guard and deploy as much black matter as possible. All the plans were for the moment when the Red Earl appeared in front of him.

The 2020 Beijing Olympics was a very good year for the Chinese people.

The 100 most common words in Chinese are used to describe the 100 most common words in Chinese and the 100 most common words in English. The 100 most common words in Chinese are used to describe the 100 most common words in Chinese and the 100 most common words in English.

These spikes flew all over the place, and the body of the beast was in chaos. At this time, the beast's body was in chaos.

In fact, from the time when the Red Earl pierced Ayi Du's skull to the time when he was trapped in the coffin, it did not seem abrupt that he came out of the prison coffin.

Of course, it is a bit of an exaggeration to say that they were unscathed.

A blood-red cross slashed from the top of the mountain, destroying the huge coffin. A figure scrambled from the top of the mountain.

It was the Red Earl. He did not die in the strange world. He was still alive. He lived in the dark world. He was the Red Earl. He was the Red Earl of the underworld.

The Red Earl took something out of his arms and swallowed it, barely stopping the bleeding. The next moment, he left without stopping towards the palace.

I could still vaguely hear the Red Earl muttering, "Madman, I'm a madman too. I actually fought against such a monster."

After five minutes, the disabled man came to the rescue, and the disabled man was no longer able to move.

Ayi Du had never thought that this would not kill the Red Earl. The final "three hundred and eight hundred and ninety-three" was the result of the great struggle of the Red Earl. The Red Earl was the most powerful one in the world.

Is the Red Earl's Armament Haki really that strong? Or is it some kind of divine power?

"Forget it." Ayi Du sighed and stopped thinking about it.

Given the Red Earl's strength, if he had intended to escape from the beginning, Ayi Du would have been unable to stop him at a small cost. He was fortunate to have been able to complete the task of severely damaging the Red Earl. Now it was up to Sershali.

What saved the Red Earl was neither the holy light nor the armed color domineering, but the racial instinct that erupted from him a second before his death.

Just as Garrott of the Fur Tribe changes form when gazing at a full moon, the Red Earl, faced with the loss of blood and the shadow of death, further awakened his vampire abilities, achieving a degree of immortality and blood control.

This ability allowed the Red Earl to survive, but it also cost him a great deal. For the Red Earl, blood essence was the most important thing. Previously, he had only used three drops of blood essence to summon the phantom, but just now, in order to survive, the Red Earl had drained almost every drop of blood essence from his body.

The Red Earl's body was aging and decaying at an extremely rapid rate, seemingly growing older with each passing minute. Unless a solution was found, not only would his strength decline significantly, but his bodily functions would also decline drastically.

Almost forcing himself to endure the injuries on his body, and adhering to the principle that a thief never leaves empty-handed, the Red Earl arrived at the treasure room of the Norez Palace. At this time, the palace was in chaos. The undead appeared out of nowhere and attacked the palace. The Norez royal family was basically finished.

The presence of the undead in the palace subconsciously made the Red Earl more vigilant. There was no other way. He had just suffered a great loss at the hands of an undead and nearly lost his life. If he didn't take precautions, he would be dying.

In this state, the Red Earl was unable to take away too many things, so he went straight to the room where the secret compartment was. The Red Earl intended to take only the things inside the secret compartment.

Given Norrez XVI's character, the secret compartment must contain the most precious treasures, especially the mysterious jade. A voice told him that the jade was dangerous. But the more this was revealed, the more reluctant the Red Earl was to let it fall into the hands of others.

...0

The Red Earl had confirmed over and over again that no one was around before he opened the secret compartment and took out the items inside. However, when he took out the last item, the jade stone, something unexpected happened.

A figure, Sershari, emerged from the wall, gathering a basketball-sized flame in her hand. It was a gray-black flame with a pale green heart, and a soul wailed within it.

When the Red Earl got the counterfeit "jade", Sershari threw the flame in his hand at him.

With just one glance, the Red Earl was sure that the woman who suddenly appeared was an undead. The strange way she appeared and the burning soul both proved that she was an undead.

At this time, the Red Earl had only one thought, which was to escape.

The Red Earl took the jade thing into his arms, blocked the strange flying flames with his left hand, and rushed out of the room without thinking too much.

"If you want to run, use the Soul-Burning Demon Fire Chain." With a light shout from Sershali, the ball of fire attached to the Red Earl's left arm let out a sharp wail, and a flaming rope extended from the fire and fell into her hand.

Sershali pulled the rope to stop the fleeing Red Earl, his eyes like a hunter watching his prey struggling in vain.

Chapter 454: The End of Qiansui City

When had anyone ever looked at the aloof Red Earl with such eyes? In the past, he had always used this look to look at the little bugs that fell into his traps and schemes.

The Red Earl was filled with shame and indignation, but he dared not stay. He had already been ambushed by the Undead today. In his current state, if he was left behind, he would have no chance of escaping.

The Red Earl looked at his left hand, his heart grieved, and he had made a decision.

The Red Earl raised his staff sword in his right hand and slashed at the treasure vault behind him. The blood-red slash shattered the vault's pillars and walls like tofu.

The treasury collapsed in an instant and turned into ruins. Countless treasures were damaged and buried, and Sershali, who was still in the treasury, was buried under the ruins.

Sershari remained calm, even a touch dismissive. Destroying the treasure vault wouldn't be enough to trap her, and burying the undead wouldn't cause any harm. If she wanted to, escaping the ruins would be easy.

This supposedly formidable Red Earl only had these few tricks up his sleeve. Apparently, he'd been severely wounded by Ayi Du. But thinking he could escape so easily was a bit naive.

Sershali clenched the flaming chain in her hand tightly. As long as the flaming chain was still in her hand, the Red Earl would never be able to escape from her hand.

The taut flame chains indicated that the bound enemy had not yet left their range. Sershali looked forward to seeing the desperate and unwilling eyes of her prey after she emerged from the ruins.

"This is the best reward." Thinking of the enemy's desperate expression, especially coming from a powerful person, she couldn't help but feel excited. She didn't know how long it had been since she had enjoyed this kind of pleasure.

Sershali slowly walked out of the ruins of the treasure house, only to find that things did not develop as she had imagined. The taut fire chain deceived her.

Outside the ruined treasure house, there was no trace of the Red Earl. Only a broken arm nailed to the ground in the distance was connected to the flaming chain in Sershari's hand.

The taut flame chains made Sershari believe that the Red Earl was always in her control. After all, the target was a human, not an undead, and Sershari never expected that the other party would give up his left arm so easily.

Sershali and the Red Earl didn't even fight; he fled even at the risk of his disability before even launching a single move. Sershali didn't think she was that formidable, and she had underestimated the Red Earl's determination to escape.

The purpose of destroying the treasure house was only to temporarily disrupt Sershari. When the treasure house was reduced to ruins and the dust and smoke obscured his vision, the Red Earl simply cut off his left arm and nailed it to the ground in the distance as bait.

The soul-burning demonic fire blazed fiercely, reducing the Red Earl's broken arm to ash. The fierce flames reflected the mood of its owner, and behind the flickering flames was Sershali's terrifying face.

Sershali had been lurking in the Norez Palace to ambush the Red Earl for a whole day, but because of a moment's negligence he lost the Red Earl's trail and also lost the opportunity to obtain the Sealing Talisman.

Finally, Sershali's rage turned into a deadly hellfire that was vented on the Norez Palace.

Under Sershari's control, the gray-black flames rose into the air, growing larger as they rose, eventually becoming a massive fireball with a diameter of ten meters, suspended in the air. From this fireball, clusters of flames, like lava from a volcanic eruption, showered the entire palace.

So the entire palace was set on fire, and amid the wailing, the souls of the survivors in the palace became the best fuel for the fire.

This tragic situation did not attract any rescue, even though it was the country's royal palace that was burning.

In just half an hour, the Norrez Kingdom Army, which had no support from the navy, pirates and other forces, was completely defeated. The walls of Chitose City were completely destroyed, and the Undead Fleet broke into the city and began to harvest lives.

Chitose Castle is gradually being transformed into a ghost town, where the living are not protected and those who are hiding are being found and killed one by one.

Most civilians began fleeing toward the naval port northeast of Chitose Castle. Not only was there a naval fleet and some ships rescuing civilians, but it was also in the opposite direction of the Undead fleet's attack. Those still alive simply wanted to get as far away from the hellish, already-occupied southwestern city as possible, hoping to survive as long as possible.

The number of civilians that the navy fleet and commercial ships can rescue is limited, and the time for rescue is even more limited... When necessary, the navy and other ships must abandon the civilians who are still densely packed in the port and sail away, so as not to be caught up by the Undead Fleet.

Countless people died under the butcher's knife, countless people died on the road to survival. The hell of wailing did not distinguish between the elderly, children, women or young people. Instead, the weak were the first to lose their right to survive.

Qin Luo and Olivia saw everything in the clouds.

The Norez royal family was finished, most of its members reduced to ashes along with the palace, and Norez XVI became the king of a fallen nation. After being captured, Ayi Du transformed him into an undead spirit, who joined in the destruction of Qiansui City.

Chitose Castle was finished, too. Hell was reaching out. This port city, prosperous for centuries, was reduced to ruins by the spreading flames. The once blood-soaked streets and harbor had become a living hell.

"Qin Luo, can you save those innocent people?" This was not the first time Olivia asked Qin Luo this, and the answer she got was no.

Killing a thousand people is easy, but saving a thousand people is difficult. There are more than a thousand people in Qiansui City. There are tens of thousands of people asking for help at the naval base port alone. Qin Luo didn't know if he was capable of doing it, and he didn't want to try.

Qin Luo isn't a cold-blooded 1.3-person, but he's also not a saint. Qin Luo has been in the pirate world for quite some time. I don't know how many times he's died because of me, even though I didn't kill him. Is it possible that he always goes to save them? Impossible. At most, Qin Luo can help them avenge their deaths while feeling sorry for them.

"You should know that the Navy and the Norez Royal Family did not evacuate these civilians a few days before the arrival of the Undead Fleet, which led to this outcome." Qin Luo comforted Olivia. No one would feel good watching this massacre happening before their eyes.

"But I've decided you need to make a decision quickly. If you don't hurry, O'Hara will end up like Chitose Castle. The Navy fleet will head directly to O'Hara after finding a place to relocate the civilians. The Undead Fleet will head to the Demon's Tomb after digesting Chitose Castle."
