Second World Chapter 1699 Sea Deity Bloodline

Chapter 1699 1699. Sea Deity Bloodline

Will helped John's minions by playing music, enhancing their stats. Aside from that, he was also singing a song.

"My goodness! Can you please stand a little further away?" John said to Will after hearing Will's singing.

It's not like Will wanted to sing. He was doing that to activate his skill. His bard cla.s.s had transformed into a first-cla.s.s special cla.s.s, Pirate King. After completing the Lost Maiden quest, he received an item that gave him the chance for the special cla.s.s trial. He successfully pa.s.sed the trial.

The first skill from the Pirate King was Sea Shanty. This was the skill that required him to sing. Sea Shanty improved allies' attributes, defenses, HP recovery, and stamina or mana recovery. The effect increased if they were near a body of water. Since they were on a sea, this skill was at its maximum effect.

With the music and the sea shanty, John's minions and nearby Palgrost soldiers received double buffs. They just had to bear with Will's awful voice.

John also exhibited his new bloodline's power. His new bloodline was called Sea Deity Bloodline. It was a unique-grade bloodline that required the essences of aquatic monsters to level up. The bloodline increased John's overall stats and he was also granted a damage reduction from all sources. The degree of increase depended on the bloodline's level. If he was near the sea, these two pa.s.sive effects were doubled.

Another pa.s.sive ability from the bloodline was that he wouldn't be attacked by sea monsters with the grades of special elite or below. He would only be attacked if he was the one initiating the battle. This let him swim peacefully on the sea's surface. With this bloodline, his eyes had clear underwater vision. He could also speak underwater without using the Underwater Communication Potion.

A unique-grade bloodline had four active abilities. John had spent enough of his free time either in the merfolk's territory or in the lake near their guild headquarters. After Broidrireg increased the quality of the lake's water, higher-grade aquatic monsters lived there, allowing John to reap many essences. His bloodline had been upgraded to a level where he had three active abilities.

The first one was Water Suit. This bloodline skill conjured a layer of water that covered John's entire body. This water layer had its own HP. It absorbed all the attacks. .h.i.tting him. As long as the water suit was active, he was also bestowed an additional 50% resistance to all status ailments.

John was currently covered by this water layer as he cast spells to support his minions.

The second active skill of his bloodline was useless in his current situation. The second skill granted him water propeller ability without a duration. He could travel very fast when he was underwater, even without using an underwater steed.

The third skill was called Sea Deity's arms. He kept this skill for emergency use.

"Look for a door that leads to the deck below," John instructed.

"Why do we want to go down to the deck below?" Will asked.

"Because Palgrost President is currently down there running from the enemies. We have to find him first before the enemies do," John answered.

"Okay," Will said. "I see no door nearby. You just want to go down there, right?"

John sensed Will using a big skill. He turned and saw a large cannon appear beside Will. Will was aiming this cannon right at the floor underneath.

"What are you…"

Before John finished speaking, the cannon's muzzle flared accompanied by a loud bang. A crashing sound followed an instant later. Before he knew it, there was a big hole in the deck floor.

What Will used was Pirate King's level 60 skill, Sea Cannon. It was a single-target offensive skill that delivered high physical damage. The skill caused extra damage to structures, like forts or ships. The sea cannon faded out of existence after delivering its attack.

John and Will looked into the hole the sea cannon had created. They saw the room down there was a pantry. Most of the things inside that room were a mess due to the explosion.

"The deck below," Will said to John.

"Good job, crazy man," John replied.

John jumped into the hole. He left his minions up there to continue fighting the enemy soldiers. His minions also stopped the enemies from following him into the hole. He could still see the situations up there via his minions' eyes and gave them detailed instructions.

The ability to see via a minion's eye was not a standard feature. This feature only came with clone ability. Summons would normally act on their own when their summoner went away. This was because the summoner could no longer tell what was going on around the summoned creatures and thus was unable to give proper commands.

However, John had trained heavily on mana manipulation not only on his spells but also on his links with his summoned creatures. He had learned to enhance this link, allowing him to see or even feel what his summoned creatures experienced. This not only gave him an awareness of what was going on with his summoned creatures when he was not nearby, but it also gave him better control over them. That was how his summoned creatures could perform so many complex martial arts.

John didn't have the Hundred Synchronous Thoughts like Jack, but his abnormal brain allowed him to process multiple things at a time. He had no problem watching the situations up there from his minions' eyes and directed them individually while processing the situations down here.

"Do you know where the President is?" Will asked while following John out of the pantry.

"He is with a player named Viking. I've been in communication with that player, but it seems they cannot tell for sure where they are," John answered. "This man-of-war is ma.s.sive. It is a maze down here."

"Are you kidding me? They don't know their own freaking ship?" Will asked with disbelief.

"It's not that weird actually. Have you ever heard the saying, a mayor has no idea about what the slum in his town looks like?" John asked.

"No. Never heard of it," Will answered.

"That is also not strange, because I made it up just now."
