Curtis was worthy of being the most legendary pirate leader in the northern seas.
His strength was even stronger than what he showed. His mastery of strength had even touched the edge of the seventh grade. It was no wonder that he could use such heavy weapons. The two giant axes danced up and down in Curtis's hands, but they were as dexterous as daggers. He converted the weight of the weapons into his own strength, causing the destructive power to rise to another level. Few professionals below the sixth grade could take a blow from him head-on.
Unfortunately, the person he met today was Rob. Even the famous eighth grade experts of the assassin world, the Slayer Duo, ended up in the end when one of them died and the other fled in the face of the future supreme magus Your Honor. Curtis, who had barely stepped into the seventh grade by relying on external forces, had no chance of winning. However, after the battle started, Curtis unexpectedly held the initiative and the advantage. On the contrary, Rob's performance was somewhat awkward. It seemed that he had no good way to deal with the giant axes in Curtis's hands, and could only fight while retreating.
The morale of the pirates soared when they saw this. In their opinion, it was already a sure thing for their leader to win this battle. However, Curtis, who was in the middle of the battle, became more and more apprehensive. He did not use his full strength right from the start, and his initial attacks were mainly probing. When he discovered that someone was not as strong as he appeared to be, Curtis also thought that he would definitely win. However, as he confidently increased the intensity of the battle, the victory he imagined did not come. On the surface, it seemed that he had the upper hand, but he was always lacking a breath. It seemed that as long as he put in a little more effort, he would be able to win this battle. However, every time he strengthened his offensive, the opponent would also increase the corresponding combat level, no more, no less, just enough to offset his efforts.
After a few times, Curtis finally confirmed that the guy in front of him had not used his full strength at all. The previous weakness and awkwardness were just a disguise. The reason why he had been hanging on unhurriedly was only to use the strength of the pirates to train his companion.
This guy was very clear about the habits of the pirates. He knew that once the leader was defeated, the fighting spirit of the pirates would immediately dissipate, and they would not be in the mood to continue fighting.
Curtis felt a chill run down his spine. Even now, he had no idea where these two fellows had come from or why they were on the Vengeance.
Apart from dealing with Curtis's attacks, Luo Bu was also paying attention to Luo Luo's battle. Ever since the boatswain joined the fray, the girl had been surrounded by perils. However, whenever she encountered a crisis that she could not resolve, the future supreme magus would split a spell to help her get through it. During this period of time, Luo Luo challenged all the pirates by herself. Apart from being a little flustered at the start, her performance became better and better. Her various spells became more and more proficient. She even began to try to predict the situation on the battlefield and guide the rhythm of the battle. By the time she exhausted all her magic, she had already killed more than a third of the pirates. Sweat soaked the girl's clothes. Luo Luo leaned on the mast, panting heavily.
"You did well. Let's end the training here."
After the future supreme magus Your Honor said this, a cold aura spread rapidly in all directions. Wherever it passed, the pirates that were still alive were frozen into ice sculptures. In the end, only Rob, Lolo, and Curtis were still able to move.
However, the latter's condition was not too good. This ice magic named Extreme Frost was a sixth-grade spell, and the original version had been strengthened by the future supreme magus Your Honor. At this moment, Curtis's eyebrows and eyelids were covered in ice. Although he relied on his sixth-grade profession's strong physique to survive this death freeze, his body had suffered quite a bit of damage, especially to his five viscera and six bowels. He knelt on one knee and looked into Rob's eyes. With great difficulty, he asked, "You … Who are you people?"
"That's what I wanted to ask you. Who's the person behind you? Why are you chasing after that girl named Ursula?" Rob asked.
Curtis shook his head. "Winner takes all. Since I've lost to you, you can kill me if you want. But if you want to get any information out of me, don't waste your energy."
"Oh, since when did pirates become so trustworthy?"
Hearing this, Curtis only smiled and did not say anything.
A beautiful bird with red wings circled in the sky and landed on Rob's shoulder. It was Bevinadet, who had been following behind Six Flowers. Because of the previous example, the future supreme magus Your Honor did not dare to lock this bird in the narrow cabin, so he let it fly freely on the sea. After all, they had a soul contract between them, so it would not lose its direction and would be able to come back in time when needed. The future supreme magus Your Honor took out a bag of dried fruits from his pocket as a reward and ordered, "Use the Eyes of Enchantment on him and see what he knows."
A hint of contempt flashed across Curtis's eyes. Bevinadet activated the Eyes of Enchantment, but Curtis's eyes remained clear and unwavering.
Half a minute later, Bevinadet shook her head, indicating that the mind magic was ineffective.
Rob was slightly surprised. Curtis's mind power seemed to be much stronger than he had imagined. The future supreme magus Your Honor had to personally take action. He bound Curtis's limbs with magic, walked up to him, and placed the staff on his chest. Curtis's eyes, however, showed no fear.
However, in the next moment, the pain that he imagined did not appear. The tip of the staff emitted a gentle and familiar light, causing the power hidden in Curtis's blood to stir.
"I see." Rob suddenly understood. "You're also a fanatic. No wonder you're not afraid of mind magic. It seems that there's more to what happened in the past. Did the temple give you a secret order to become a pirate?"
Fanatics were a very special group of people. They dedicated everything, including their lives, to the gods. They would never betray the church. If Curtis was a fanatic, it would naturally be impossible for him to be wanted by the temple for murder and absconding.
Curtis's expression changed drastically. He stared at the staff in Rob's hand as if he had seen a ghost. "How is this possible? Aren't you a magician? How can you use divine power?!"
The future supreme magus Your Honor did not answer this question. Instead, he moved his lips. The next moment, Curtis's eyes suddenly lost their luster, and he fell to the ground, no longer breathing.
"Huh? Why did you kill him? Didn't you want to ask him what he had to do with Grand Scholar Fagan's death?"
