Chapter 1676: Chapter 1700. Waiting for Reinforcement

"Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that they are both in the high echelons," John said to Will. "They do not need to come to the lower deck where the commoners live, so it makes sense they don't know their way through the lower deck."

"Makes them lousy leaders, if you ask me," Will remarked. "I am the captain of my ship, but I know my entire ship, even the most obscure corner."

"You are the captain? I thought Joe was the captain."

"We are both captains. We share Grey Jewel's captaincy," Will said.

"I have no idea how that can work, but whatever, man," John said, but then he remembered his guild also shared leadership between three people. So, perhaps he did understand.

"So, if we truly don't know where they are. How do you know where to go?" Will asked. "Are we just running around like headless fish?"

"I think the term should be headless chickens," John said. "They don't know where they are exactly, but they know they are at the stern of the ship."

"Stern? That's where we are," Will said.

"I know. That's why I chose this side to enter the ship. Plus, I have this thing to locate their position," John said while tapping his God-eye monocle. "However, the radar on this thing is two-dimensional. It cannot differentiate between the floors, and we don't know which deck they are on."

"F*cking hell. Are they for real? They don't even know what floor they are on?" Will again couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"This gigantic man-of-war has seven decks. They said some enemies had come down and were chasing them. They were in the run so they kind of forgot what deck they were on. Believe me, I am also frustrated by the stupidity of the situation, but this is what we have to deal with," John said. They came into the stairs that led them to the lower decks. "We don't have much time. We'll have to split up to find them faster." 

"Split up? You said there are enemies down here. What if we bump into these enemies while we are alone?"

"Are you scared?" John taunted.

"Oh, yeah. I'm scared. I'm scared that you will get into trouble since you left all your summons up there. I don't want to have to look for you to rescue you!" Will exclaimed.

"Good man. I know I can count on you to rescue me. Now, let's go! Time's a-wasting. Don't worry, I will know your position at all times using my radar. I will send you directions. Just make sure to pay attention to my messages. I will take the deck two floors down. You take the one directly below this one."

John ran down the stairs without waiting for Will's response.

Will looked at John going down the stairs. He wondered if that guy ever listened to others speak. He didn't want to waste time thinking, so he ran down to the deck below following John's instruction.

Viking and Thelgrun were running through the corridors. They heard footsteps as well as the angry yell behind them. They continued to move away from those sounds. They continued running until they arrived in a hall with tables and benches bolted to the floor. It was the dining hall for the deckhands.

The dining hall had several entrances. They closed and locked the door they came in from and ran to the opposite side. The door on that side was opened.

Viking noticed a slight movement of the shadow when they were about to reach the opposite entrance. There was someone behind that door!

"Halt…!" Viking warned Thelgrun and also put his arm to stop the President.

Whoever was behind the door knew his cover was blown after hearing Viking. He rushed out from behind the opened door. It was GraphicZ. He swung his two-handed broadsword using Raging Strike.

Viking responded by using Power Strike at the last instant. The two large weapons clanged loudly. Both sides were thrown back.

Two ethereal soldiers rushed out from behind GraphicZ. They were heading to Thelgrun.

"Don't worry about me!" Thelgrun exclaimed. He readied his hammer.

GraphicZ came at Viking again. The two had fought before on the upper deck. GraphicZ understood if alone, he was not Viking's opponent, but what he was doing was simply buying time.

Earlier, Gridhacker, Soundeffect, and he entered the lower decks after breaking the door Thelgrun and Viking went into. Gridhacker was again wearing a God-eye monocle. One that Master warned would be the last one for him since he had lost several pieces due to getting killed. Using the radar on the monocle, Gridhacker tried tracking Viking and Thelgrun.

Gridhacker had the same problem as John. His radar couldn't differentiate between which red dots were up there fighting on the decks and which red dots were down here. After tracking for a while, he finally isolated two red dots that kept on moving about. He was sure these two were Viking and Thelgrun.

However, although he knew their whereabouts, he couldn't tell which decks the two were on. So, he, GraphicZ, and Soundeffect split up and went to three different decks. GraphicZ and Soundeffect followed his instructions as they moved toward the two red dots on his radar. When they reached the dots' position and didn't find their prey, they moved to another deck

It turned out GraphicZ was the one to find the prey. GraphicZ had sent a message informing Gridhacker and Soundeffect. They were on their way here.

Viking wasn't oblivious to this. He knew he had to defeat the enemies before the enemy's reinforcement arrived. He struck at GraphicZ fiercely.

Even though Viking was at an advantage, he didn't completely overpower GraphicZ. Out of the three World Maker members he fought up there, GraphicZ was the most troublesome. This was because, like him, GraphicZ had a second-class special class.

GraphicZ's special class was the opposite of Violent Blizzard's Holy Avenger. His was Dark Avenger. Their skill set was similar. The difference was when Holy Avenger's skills were mostly light-element based, GraphicZ's was dark-element based.

Dark Avenger's first skill was Dark Rage, which also increased stats and damage like Holy Avenger's Divine Rage, but instead of using the avenging orb to heal oneself, the Dark Rage turned the avenging orbs into bombs that dealt 200% dark damage each.

The level 60 skill of Dark Avenger was Unholy Reckoning. It was similar to Holy Avenger's Holy Reckoning. A ranged attack that shot out a pillar of light, except this one dealt dark damage.

The level 70 skill was the same as the Holy Avenger, Punishing Smite.

With these special class skills, GraphicZ kept Viking busy while waiting for his partners to arrive.
