Chapter 408: Sailor Jack is BACK!



Chapter 408: Sailor Jack is BACK!

Jack couldn’t help but gulp…

This Dragon intended to toy with them!

Jack had barely returned to the Volcanic Arena when he saw the savagery in their opponent’s eyes. This overgrown lizard couldn’t wait to torture them! In fact, it was already restarting?!

That’s when it opened a gaping maw…

But instead of the usual roar, what came out was:

< Elite Volcanic Elemental Lv 52! 🔥 >

< Ravenous Volcanic Elemental Lv 57! 🔥 >

< Terminator Volcanic Elemental Lv 59! 🔥 >

< …. >

How could there be so many?! Had this dragon swallowed an entire civilization of fire beings?! And the more appeared, the more they knew they were fucked.

— ROAR! ROAR! ROAR! ROAR —

Its meaning was obvious. Did Jack love surfing? Well, he could surf this! The Dragon powerfully flayed its tail, creating a mighty lava wave once more!

This time, it was even higher.

This time, it was death incarnate.

This time, he still wouldn’t give up!

As Jack saw the colossal wave half-lava half-elemental about to engulf him, he fought back instead! At that moment, his only hope was his copilot, Moon Moon!

“QUICK! Grab all the volcanic boards!”

“Woot!” (Right away, Master, this wolf’s on FIRE!)

It really was?! At this moment, a certain tyrannic dragon couldn’t help but stare at the strange scene. The wolf using magic earlier to propel their party? It was doing it again!

But why did it look like fiery pumpkins were coming out of its ass, only to explode violently as they gave Moon Moon a burst of movement speed?! With this, it accomplished its task.

“Woo!” (What now, master?)

It eagerly asked, tail almost wagging in anticipation. Jack didn’t even bother thinking. That’s when he started stacking parts like a master builder straight out of a LEGO movie!

At this moment, he was going by feel and experience, LOTS of experience.

10 035 Elementals?

47 Dragon Sighting?

24 Spawn Patterns

3 Portable forges

… Insanity! And those were all the old numbers. God knows how many times he had done it since then.: so many he had lost counts! And that’s when it all culminated.

It took him two seconds to have a pitiful excuse of a portable forge ready! And long before the lava wave could cook his flesh, he was already done with… something?!

Even the ones that saw it weren’t sure what they had seen…

[Ding! Used a Subset of Demonic Blacksmith!]

[Crafted a VERY Basic Paddle Board!]

[T-This coating?! ERROR ERROR!]

“Paddleboard? Please, it’s an Ark!” Jack complained, yet he was already pushing the fortune embarkation toward the lava just as the wave finally arrived upon them!

“Men, are you ready to face a sea of lava?”

“Woo!” (Aye Captain!)

“I can’t hear—”

“WOOOOO0000000000000”

At this moment, his sailing skill was activating at full power!

So what if they were screwed?! So what if they were akin to a paper boat in a maelstrom of destruction? They were together, and even now, they were fucking grinning!

First came the wave, their volcanic “ark” barely managed not to capsize… but it was so damn close. And that’s when the real “heroes” of the story arrived.

< Vengeful Volcanic Elemental Lv 54! 🔥>

The creature didn’t hesitate to strike at their lifeline!

They suddenly saw its fiery hands reach toward their poor “boat”, preparing to capsize it forever. BUT that’s when it happened, the system finally registering Jack’s goal!

[T-This coating?! ERROR ERROR!]

[200% Pure Elemental Resentment!]

[Stop me? There’s Been Thousands Before!]

“And there’ll be countless! Now, DIE, you elemental bastard!”

With a single punch, Jack utterly crushed the elemental’s intangible skull… or it should have been intangible?! Yet, his fist clearly smashed not just the essence but its soul?!!!

— Shitload of Panicked Elemental! —

To an elemental, life was simple: born in fire, and return to fire.

Even when destroyed, their kindling would still remain and return to the volcano whee it would eventually rise again…. BUT NOT THIS TIME?! I-It was truly gone?!!

Little did the elementals realize the planning that it had taken…

1. Ark of Resentment made WITH elementals’ cores!

2. A very shell-shocked and surprised elemental!

3. A water pearl discretely used!

[New Title! The Man Who Killed Fire!]

Wait, it was a suffix, too?! Amidst a tumultuous wave of lava and elementals that didn’t dare approach anymore, Jack powerfully equipped his new title.

— The Demon King Who Killed Fire! —

Even the dragon in the back shivered. A King’s Title?! Killed Fire?! Its new toy was that impressive?! And yet, it only made the creature want to devour him even more!

“”MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”

“𝕿𝖍 𝖒𝖆𝖓 𝖜𝖍𝖔 𝖐𝖎𝖑𝖑𝖉 𝖋𝖎𝖗? 𝕶𝖎𝖑𝖑 𝖙𝖍𝖎𝖘 𝖋𝖎𝖗!!!”

Its cavernous voice echoed, and that’s when it sent a mighty breath of fire their way! Hell, they were now stuck between a world of fire and a lava wave + elementals!

That’s when Jack made a desperate move; he suddenly changed course, heading straight for the elementals! And as he did, he didn’t show an ounce of fear at all.

It was 99% a bluff, but who cared, right?! Not Moon Moon, as it kept chanting war songs about pumpkins, undead, and the scariest warrior duo ever!

The bluff… freaking worked?!!!

Instead of fighting back, the elementals retreated in panic!!

Had they simply stood their ground, Jack would have been driven into an utter corner, but as their formation crumbed, he went even a step further.

He… Grabbed an elemental, then another?!

“Go on, System, chime in!”

[Acquired a Hostage?]

[NVM Obtained a Paddle?!]

[Who Even Thinks Like That?!]

< Very Scared V̶o̶l̶c̶a̶n̶i̶c̶ E̶l̶e̶m̶e̶n̶t̶a̶l̶ Paddle Lv 54! 🔥>

Yes, Jack was now using the elemental as if it were a mere paddle, the poor thing frozen with fear, an emotion that it was feeling for the very first time ever. This King was SCARY!

And just like that, Jack’s flimsy embarkation was suddenly given wings or rather elementals?! Before long, he felt like he was in a Roman Long Ship!

The manpower? All slaves! As for Jack, he was akin to a conqueror as he sailed on the tumultuous lava sea! Alas, he was far from the only conqueror here.

— ROAR! ROAR! ROAR! ROAR! ROAR! —

They had survived so far, but at what cost?! A certain Dragon wasn’t about to let its meal go that easily! And that’s when it changed tactic, going for one more… definitive!

It was time to end it all…
