Supreme Couple In Apocalypse: Undead King & Demonic Queen

[You have gained 100 Fame.]

The puzzle was solved and the altar in the middle shone before the grotesque monster turned from a statue to a living monster.

Everyone worked together and killed this strong boss monster after five minutes. It was too tough and deadly, so they had to fight with caution.

Killing it granted them 300 Fame. They only lacked 230 Fame to level up, but got 300 at once and slightly filled up the bar to the next level as well, which required them a total of 1500 fame, and the group was almost a thousand fame short of it.

Another treasure chest appeared before them, but this one was different. The items inside were for one-time use only.

A smoke bomb that could envelop an area of fifty kilometers!

A foam bomb that could create a jumping foam platform within a meter radius upon impact. One could jump over a hundred meters or more by using that, making it a sort of versatile prop.

There were six more items with various uses and everyone grabbed two each, hanging them around their belts that came with their pirate outfits.

After getting ready and recovering their stamina in a few minutes of rest, the group went back on the same path they had come here and returned to their ship.

Pulling the anchor and lowering the sails, the pirate group resumed their adventure.

But it wasn't long before they were caught up in a giant whirlpool, hanging at the edge and going downwards.

Not just them, but the whirlpool was moving along the ocean and catching other ships. They couldn't even escape.

"We try to stay at the edge!" Erix shouted amidst the storm and heavy winds as he handled the wheel to control the ship while Rin and others constantly adjusted three big sails of the ship to keep it at the edge of the giant whirlpool.

Erix tried to use Vortex Fan, but when the ship reached the edge and was about to escape the giant whirlpool, a sudden water wave slammed the ship back into the whirlpool, causing Erix and others to get slapped with a strong water wave.

"Damn!"

They were really in a stormy situation at the moment and barely managed to stabilize again.

Everyone realized that this whirlpool wouldn't let them escape until it wished so.

Since a few more ships were dragged into this strange whirlpool that prevented them from escaping, those ships inevitably came close to each other at some distance.

And this only entailed one thing.

Battle!

Five ships trapped in the whirlpool, circling around at the edge by riding its current and fighting each other!

Only 1v1 was allowed, so the Unfettered Pirate group soon met a pirate with a sun flag with a devilish skull imprinted in its center.

"The flag unlocks at 3rd level, so they are a level higher than us," Erix said, his eyes glinting with thrill. "Don't hesitate to act on your ideas if you get one. We are not going to lose this soon!"

"Aye aye captain," Rin grinned and readied the Foam Bomb. "I feel like this can do the trick, but we have to drop it precisely and in such a way that it comes right under the ship."

Erix's eyes shone. "I got the idea. One of you handle the wheel and leave that bomb to me. When they come near us after this circling, I am going to jump in the water."

"What?! How are you going to resist this raging ocean?"

Everyone was shocked.

"Hahaha, with my gloves of course! I can still keep my head and arms outside while going with the whirlpool's flow, so I can punch in the air to gather the wind around me and control it enough to prevent myself from getting sucked down."

Erix put a wooden rod in the steering wheel. "The steering wheel doesn't need much touching because I've set it such that it would spin on this part of the edge around the whirlpool as long as you keep adjusting the sails according to the wind."

"If sails are not just adjuted with these crazy winds, we'll get pulled down the whirlpool slowly."

"Let's do this!" Aria shouted with excitement.

"They are coming," Isabella looked through the binoculars and spotted their enemy, the Devil Sun Pirate group. "We'll get close to each other with roughly ten meters of distance between us in…three to four minutes."

Everyone got ready and raring to clash!

…

In the end, Erix and others reached 5000 Fame after four hours of fun and fighting in islands and against other pirate groups on an ocean with exotic phenomenons and islands!

Since they reached 5000 Fame, they were directly transported to the Throne of Pirate Ruler tournament.

This tournament was simpler, but had non-stop fighting!

It had three levels and three different-dimensional oceans!

On the first level, one had to defeat three pirate groups and earn 3000 Fame before moving up to the 2nd level.

Erix and others reached there after an hour.

They also reached the goal of earning 5000 Fame and managed to ascend to the third level as well after fighting for another hour.

With their level 10 Ship and arousal of skills and items, the group arrived on the final level and fought with many pirate groups. Some escaped, while they also escaped from some.

They spent a total of four hours on this stage and earned 9580 Fame before they were destroyed and ended their game!

The group earned a total of 22k Fame and also appeared in the leaderboard of the game, ranked 7th rank!

"Alright, we should be able to buy the most expensive item with this much Fame," Erix grinned as he looked at the shop area.

"True. Also, let's end our first visit to the Arcade here," Isabella said with a thoughtful expression. "We've spent eight hours, and it wouldn't be strange if the Blue Maw Pirate Kingdom arrived anytime now."

"Yep," Rin nodded. "Let's leave after buying."

Aria nodded.

The squad went to the shop area and four of them looked at the one screen and the items displayed on it.

After looking at the items, everyone's eyes shone.

"Doesn't this look like it can also help us from trouble?" Aria said, pointing at an item.

"This one too."

"Damn, it was worthwhile to come here, alright!" Erix laughed out loud. "We can buy two items out of the highest category items. Let's choose."
