Chapter 93 - The Pirate Ship
There were a total of three ghosts ships that were on the tail of the old rotten ship that the Elites were on.
Although the parameter to clear was to survive for 30 hours in the dungeon , without the ship , it was impossible to survive for more than 5 minutes in the ocean.
This was not because of monsters or other creatures that would attack you ..... No , it was because the water was ice cold and would give you a freeze countdown when submerged.
About 3 minutes into the countdown you will be unable to sustain muscle movement to float , as your body will recede the blood towards the vital organs .... From then on you drown , for a maximum of 2 minutes can you survive without oxygen , as you pass out after that because of lack of oxygen and the cold.
All this happened if you survived for the 5 minutes , mostly you were killed by some sharks or other sea creatures lurking as soon as you enter the water.
The ghost pirate ships had large battle drums , and to the rhythmic beat of the drums , the ghosts rowed their boats. It was a real speed booster as the ghosts closed in the gap between the boats real fast.
As soon as they were in range however , the wizards rained fireballs on the sails of the three ships.
The masts of the three ships caught fire , the ghosts screamed and cursed as after loosing their masts their main source of moving the boats was lost.
With the wind behind the sails , Rudra's boat regained some momentum.
The distance between the two boats increased bit by bit , and it seemed as if Rudra and his party could run away. However our reincarnator knew this wasnt the case , the ghost boat had a special speed boost option that they could activate for one minute where their speed tripled.
The ghost captain was only waiting for that chance , however to his surprise the true Elite's boat turned sideways.
Rudra shouted , " Ready all cannons on the right to fire".
" Load the cannons ". Karna relayed.
" Steady men ! " Rudra said as he waited for the perfect opportunity
" Fire ! ".
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
shots after shots of cannon were fired. Two of the three pirate ships sinking to the damage.
The True Elites crew cheered , however Rudra's face paled , the only standing pirate ship had activated the speed mode and the angle where it was charging meant it would ram into his boat perpendicularly .
" **** , **** , **** " Rudra cursed , he was out of options here , his boat would need time to rotate straight again , and more time to gain momentum , he was dead meat here.
As the enemy boat came closer and closer , the Elite members realized their situation and panicked.... Not good! Not good at all!
Desperate Rudra needed a plan ..... And he thought of a crazy one ..... It was all or nothing he thought , at worst they would need to redo the dungeon run.
Rudra grabbed hold of the sail and started to run in a circle to gain speed , after he thought that he gained sufficient momentum , he slingshotted himself towards the incoming enemy ship .
The 2 seconds he was airborne felt like an eternity as he covered 5.....10....15....20 meters distance in that leap.
Just as he was coming crashing down , he used his special move Earthquake .
BOOM!
The wood under him buckled and the shockwave disoriented the ship array.
Water started to flood the helm
And the ship started to sink rapidly .
The good news was. The ship started to sink , the bad news was , Rudra was on that ship surrounded by ghosts who could not be hurt with physical or magical attacks.
Taking his chances in the sea , Rudra jumped off the pirate ship railing.
To his dismay , a shark was down under with its mouth wide open , waiting to swallow him .
NoNoNoNo , Rudra panicked.
DARKNESS BIND!
Rudra bound the silly shark , stepped on it for support and jumped towards his ship .
He was caught by karna at the rail and pulled up!
For a moment he laid there looking at the sky , then he started laughing ...... The true Elite's members started to cheer wildly ... This was one of the most insane things they had seen in their life.
Their leader had pulled off something incredible , by solo sinking a pirate ship , and jumping off a sharks nose.
For one they really respected the guild leader , He was the reason they joined the guild , however when he did such ridiculous stunts they could not help but wonder just how skilled was the leader to actually pull such things off .
Hatts off to him !

It was not like Rudra could assign the stats in a special way , as the golden ratio was the most important thing for him currently , yet he chose to save the stat points for now. And increase them in a fight to suddenly gain strength and surprise the enemy someday. Hence he chose to stockpile them for now.
