Chapter 187 - Chapter 187 News Of A Pirate King Recruitment

As they stood their one of the men blasted fire through Mira said "The kid comes with us, and if any of you try and stop us you'll end up like her." As the hole began to heal Thomas stared at it and said "Her recovery got quicker?" Mira smirked and said "You tried but unfortunately that won't work." The two men stared at her and said "You think we're afraid of you just because you can heal up after taking some damage." Scarlett glanced at Thomas and asked "Do you really think she'll win?" As Mira raised her hand to the men Thomas shrugged and said "Yeah probably." Mira stared at the two men and shouted "Ice barrage!" As dozens of sharp ice sickles began to materialize and fly towards the men Mira said "Stand down now." One of the men stared at her and created a wall of ice in between them as he shouted "You talk big but your attacks are weak and hardly worth our time." Thomas stared at Mira and said "Looks like she doesn't wanna use much mana." Ceil glanced at him and said "Well her healing ability does depend on her mana so it makes sense that she would like to store as much as possible." Mira began to run towards the ice wall as she jumped over it and landed in front of the men they both blasted ice and fire through her. Mira pulled a chunk of ice out of her stomach and said "That's more damaging then the fire." Mira grabbed one of the men and threw him at the ice wall. As he hit the ice wall he began to slide down it. Thomas stared at the man and mumbled "I was hoping he'd go through it." Mira stared at the other man and asked "Would you like to give up now?" The man smirked and said "Like hell we will." The man grabbed Mira by the throat and lifted her off of the ground as he said "After we kill this kid we're gonna head over to that city and become one of the next pirate kings!" Thomas glanced at Lily and said "He's the second person to have mentioned pirate kings." Lily stared at him and said "Yeah the first guy we met said there were four but I know that there were seven before." Peri stared at Lily and nodded as she said "Your right there were seven however a few months ago three died during a fight with an elder dragon." Ceil stared at Lily and said "However the elder dragon lives on and still wanders the world claiming mire victims." Thomas began to walk towards the men as he said "In that case I have a few questions." Lily stared at him and said "Don't kill anybody this time." Thomas ignored her as he walked up to the man holding Mira as he said "I have a question about these pirate kings." The man stared at Thomas and said "In the next town over the other four pirate kings will be there, if you think you have what it takes I'll kill you now and won't even give you the chance to try out." As the other man stood up he punched Thomas in the jaw and said "Might as well get rid of the competition!" As Thomas fell to the ground he mumbled "Dammit my balance is still off." As Mira broke free of his grasp she held her hand up to his chest and began to blast ice through it. As Thomas stood up the man glanced at the other man and said "Get your ass up, I know you have health potions so use the damn things!" The man punched Mira and pulled out a potion and drank it immediately as he said "Bottoms up." The other man turned back to Thomas and said "Fighting a demi human seems below me but I guess I'll make an exception just this once." Thomas began to walk towards the man as he said "Yeah whatever just get on with it." The man held his hand towards Thomas and said "Prepare to die!" Thomas stood there as four giant ice walls appeared and surrounded him. The man began to walk towards Thomas with his hand still up as he said "Pretty soon you'll be crushed to death." Once the man stood in front of the ice he smiled and said "You pathetic bunch could never be pirate kings." Thomas glanced through the ice at the man and said "Forget dealing with this, you have answers and I have questions." Thomas punched through the ice wall and grabbed the man as he said "Now answer them." The man put a hand to Thomas's side and said "Why answer the questions of a dead man." Thomas pushed the man's hand away and watched as the ice landed behind him as he said "Just answer me." Thomas began to walk towards the bridge as he held the man above it as he said "Or maybe it's pointless to wait for an answer from a dead man." The man began to hold onto Thomas's arm as he shouted "Wait hold on I'll answer!" Thomas stared at him and asked "How many pirate kings are they recruiting?" The man held onto Thomas's arm and said "They're gonna find three replacements just please don't drop me." Thomas glanced at Mira who had the other man pinned to the ground as he said "Next question, Just how powerful is a typical pirate king?" The man glanced down at the bottom of the valley said "They can normally end armies all on there own!" Thomas turned around and tossed the man to the ground as he said "Your free to go, just leave the kid and don't come back." The man held his hand towards Thomas and began to laugh as he said "You idiot you really think I'll let you live!" Thomas grabbed the man's arm and punched the back of the elbow breaking it as he said "Of course not, that's why I'm gonna make sure you can't do anything to us." The man laid there screaming out in pain as Thomas began to walk towards the boy as he said "Everyone else was killed right?" The boy nodded and said "One of them were the drivers to my cart so they must've killed him a while ago." Thomas glanced at the cart and said "It'll be best if you ditch your cart and come with us." The boy stared at Thomas and nervously asked "Your not gonna break my arms to are you?" Thomas began to walk towards Mira as he said "Relax I don't kill for no reason." The boy glanced at the others who were standing by the cart and ran towards them as he shouted "Don't let the demi human kill me!" Ceil stared at the boy and said "He wouldn't kill a kid, you have nothing to worry about." Lily walked towards Ceil and pulled her head down as she whispered "Actually he might kill kids, I wouldn't be surprised if he did." Mira let go of the man and said "Your friend has already been defeated leave at once." The man quickly stood up and ran towards the other man as he shouted "What the hell kinda demi human are you." Thomas glanced at the man and mumbled "Do I even count as a demi human?" Thomas began to walk towards the cart as he mumbled "Guess that's another question I don't have an answer to." As Thomas climbed up to the top of the cart he said "We'll drop the kid off in the next town." The boy stared at the top of the cart and nervously said "Thank you for saving me." Thomas glanced at the kid and said "Don't bother thanking me, your on your own in the next town." The boy stared at Thomas and said "My father is in that town so I should be fine." As they all climbed into the cart Rose stared at Thomas and asked "Do you think those two creeps will come after him again?" Thomas glanced at Rose and said "A highly doubt they do." Rose stared at him and said "Yeah your probably right, they're probably terrified that you might torture them to death." Thomas stared at Rose and said "Torture?" Rose nodded and said "Yeah you do it often, you break there bones, blast holes through them, and you often scorch them." Thomas stared ahead of them and said "I wasn't trying to torture them though." Scarlett stared at Thomas and nervously asked "If that's not torture what do you consider torture." Thomas stared at her and said "I'd take physical pain any day but I suppose I count mind attacks as true torture." Rose stared at him and asked "So you'd rather have every bone in your shattered then have to deal with a single mind attack." Thomas stared at her and said "I'd have my bones broken thousands of times over before I deal with those damn mind tricks."
