After Maxing out all Classes

“What’s going on with these ghost race warriors?”

“Why are they abandoning their comrades on our ship and fleeing themselves?”

“Damn it, are they even human?”

“Is it really okay for a race to abandon their own like this?”

As the warriors besieged the discarded demon warriors, they engaged in heated discussions.

Surprisingly, the abandoned demon warriors were undeterred and even more ferocious. They seemed determined to take their opponents down with them, fighting with incredible intensity. The deck remained chaotic as ever. The Kingdom of Gran’s warriors struggled to give chase, unable to pursue the ironclad ship.

The two young girls swiftly fired a few shots, taking down several ghost warriors. The united effort of the warriors managed to defeat the few remaining foes who continued to resist in a last stand. However, as they prepared to set sail, they realized that the thick mist had obscured their view, making it impossible to spot where the enemy ship had fled.

The commander among them uttered, “Damn it! We let them escape like this.”

A warrior suggested, “Let’s pursue in the direction they disappeared. Maybe we can catch up.”

“Chasing the enemy at full speed in this dense fog is too risky.”

“Indeed, what if there are ambushes within the fog?”

The commander had no choice but to issue the order, “Forget it, we’ll figure out a way to deal with them next time.”

Just as he finished speaking, a head popped out from the side of the armed merchant ship nearby. It belonged to a young man with handsome golden hair. This young man, whom the middle-aged leader had seen by the docks, had been fishing at the ship’s side, seemingly an unremarkable figure.

Of course, the young man was Robb. He waved his hand with a smile at the middle-aged leader and said, “We can’t afford to do this next time. We don’t have time to linger here. We need to hurry to the Big Tang. Let’s settle this matter now.”

The middle-aged leader responded, “But this dense fog…”

Robb grinned, “It’s an Eastern technique called the ‘Foggy Haze.’ We just need to break it.”

“Huh?” The middle-aged leader was momentarily stunned, “We tried dispelling it, but it didn’t work.”

Robb chuckled, “Watch and learn!”

He formed a few hand seals toward the sky and chanted, “In battle, the soldiers are in front — Break!”

As he shouted “Break,” an unseen force seemed to soar into the sky, crashing against the pervasive mist. Soon after, the fog began to thin visibly, disperse, and eventually vanished completely.

The sea regained its clarity, and everyone looked around. The ironclad ship that had ambushed them in the fog was now desperately fleeing not far away. On the opposing deck stood several individuals wearing bewildered expressions. Clearly, they had failed to grasp the situation. Their “Foggy Haze ” had been broken by the Westerner? How was that possible?

Of course, it’s not just them who were puzzled, but also the members of the Trembling Ice Knights, who were equally baffled. They looked at Robb, wearing strange expressions on their faces, and they almost directly asked, “How did you manage to break their art?”

Robb laughed and said, “What are you still dazed for? Hurry up and make your move. Detain the opponents, or else, I might have to step in. No exaggeration, no falsehood – once I intervene, your chances to play will be over.”

The two young nuns said, “It’s better if you take action. We no longer wish to continue this fight.”

As it turned out, the two young nuns had fought impulsively a while ago, driven by excitement. However, after their fight, they calmed down and realized that they had been fighting against humans, not monsters. This realization made them feel sorrowful all of a sudden. Shooting a firearm at people really hurt!

Having been nuns before, their personalities were gentle, and they preferred helping others rather than harming them. Initially, they hadn’t thought much of it, but now, seeing the injured sailors groaning on the deck, they no longer wanted to fight. After all, those sailors were human too. Despite their unusual appearance, they were undeniably living beings.

Upon hearing the two nuns, Robb immediately understood. He said, “Alright, my two little sisters don’t want to fight anymore. Trembling Ice Knights, do you still want to continue this game? If I take action, I might steal the show.”

The commander of the group, a middle-aged man, helplessly said, “Who wants to fight if it can be avoided? If you have any means to quickly capture them, go ahead and use them. We won’t blame you for snatching the limelight.”

“That makes things easier!”

Robb grinned and said, “I’m off then.”

Suddenly, he stomped his foot on the deck. “Heroic Leap!”

With a swift motion, he jumped into the air, descending towards the escaping ironclad ship.

This leap appeared incredibly powerful. Observing his takeoff, the onlookers thought, “Such a splendid jump, he could probably leap hundreds of yards. He must be a formidable warrior.”

However, they were mistaken!

Robb’s leaping ability adhered to the rules of the game, and no matter how strong the jump seemed, he could only cover 60 yards.

So, after his impressive jump towards the enemy ship, he plummeted straight into the sea with a splash.

Onlookers: “…”

This was quite anticlimactic!

The middle-aged man wiped his sweat and asked, “Should we pull him out?”

The two young nuns chuckled, “No need.”

Just then, at the spot where Robb had fallen into the water, a seal popped out of the water with a splash. The seal even turned its head and waved at the people on the ship, seemingly making a gesture of “I’m fine.” However, who could decipher a seal’s gestures? All they saw was a flat flipper waving there – quite amusing.

And then, with remarkable speed, the seal swam towards the ironclad ship.

The people on the ironclad ship had been closely monitoring the movements of the trailing ship. Of course, they also witnessed this scene. Immediately, archers positioned themselves by the ship’s railings, drawing their bows and aiming arrows at the seal. They shot a volley of arrows at the seal in rapid succession.

However, the seal was incredibly swift, and the arrows couldn’t even come close to touching its fur.

In the blink of an eye, it reached the side of the ship. With a powerful flick of its tail on the water’s surface, it leaped out of the water. This leap was remarkably high, actually soaring from the sea surface directly onto the ship.

The sailors on the ship exclaimed in surprise. Two of them swung their blades, attempting to strike at the seal.

The seal deftly evaded the two long blades, then raised its fleshy flipper and delivered a series of slaps, knocking the two sailors to the ground. Simultaneously, it landed on the deck and underwent a transformation. It turned back into the appearance of the handsome young man with golden hair. Facing the bewildered sailors on the ship, he smiled and said, “Greetings!”

The sailors were taken aback. This Westerner actually understood our language? However, now that it was broad daylight, what could “good evening” possibly mean?

Robb, however, quickly shook his head with a regretful expression. “Oh no, there aren’t many who understand the language of ghosts. What to do? Oh, I know!”

Suddenly, he addressed the sailors seriously, saying, “You guys, aren’t proper ghosts, right? Probably just Japanese pirates doing dirty work, you guys, tearing and pulling!”

The sailors: “Are you speaking human language or seal language?”
