Brave Soul of Evil Supremacy
chapter-253

"GROOOOOOOAAAAAARRR!"

As we landed on the Ship of Theseus, Leviathan roared loudly towards us.

A powerful water cannon was fired at the ship along with the roar.

"Aaqaaaaahh!"

"It's okay, Aeris."

I calmly reassured my screaming comrades.

Even though we should have taken the enemy's attack head-on... neither I nor my friends had any noticeable injuries.

Instead, there were slight cracks in the ship's mast and hull.

"The damage we take will be absorbed by the ship. So, focus on attacking."

That's how this ship works.

The Ship of Theseus has HP too, and damage from enemy attacks first goes to the ship.

If the ship's HP accumulates damage, it will be destroyed. We'll be thrown out of the ship and into the sea, turning the battle into a fight in that state.

"On the ship, healing magic and support magic don't work... but as long as we have the materials, we can repair any damage. For now, there's no problem, so let's stay calm and attack."

I laid out the ship materials I took from the item box on the deck.

Then, the materials were absorbed into the ship and disappeared, repairing the damage caused by Leviathan's water cannon.

"Wow, this is so convenient... where did you find such a ship?"

"I don't know."

When Ciel asked in confusion, I just shrugged my shoulders in response.

However, Electra tilted her head, looking puzzled, and started pondering, "Hmm."

"Come to think of it... I've heard that the royal family of the neighboring country owns a magic ship. That ship is alive and can repair damage on its own. I think its name was... Tesu?"

"Forget about that, focus on the enemy! This is not the time to relax!"

I didn't let her finish.

It's impossible to say that this is the magic ship that the royal family should have.

It's scary to even think about it... But if this ship is here, what happened to the ship owned by the neighboring royal family?

It would be fine if there were two ships, but it would be troublesome if it disappeared and was stolen.

"Shadow Lance!"

"Flame Strike!"

I take the lead in launching a magic attack, and Ciel also joins in the attack with a serious expression.

Powerful dark magic and fire magic hit the Leviathan.

"White Dragon, unleash your breath!"

"Magic Up!"

Electra also commands her summoned beast to attack, while Aeris provides support with auxiliary magic.

"GROOOOOOOOOAAAARRR!"

The Leviathan roars in anger, swinging its huge tail and slamming it against the hull of the ship.

"Ugh!"

The ship is hit by the impact... but in the next moment, Miura swings the Death Scythe and cuts through the tail.

"Nice job! Well done!"

"Hmm, reward me later."

"If you beat this guy, I'll pat your head!"

"Mmuu... treating me like a kid."

Miura pursed his lips, expressionless.

Anyway... we continued attacking from the ship.

It's great that the ship takes the damage for us, allowing us to focus solely on attacking.

"But... we can't keep taking it easy forever..."

The material consumption is more intense than expected.

I keep running out of materials on deck and hurriedly add more.

"Indeed, it's tough without teammates with driving skills..."

In actual naval battles, one of teammates drives the ship, evading enemy attacks while we fight.

However... I don't have the skills to steer the ship, and neither do the other companions.

As a result, the ship was left vulnerable in the same spot, taking all the attacks.

"If we run out of materials... things might get really bad this time."

"GRROOOOARRRR!"

Leviathan is shooting a water gun at us.

Me and my friends are fighting back, dealing damage to the opponent.

It's a total war of endurance. Both sides are relentlessly attacking each other with no holds barred tactics.

"...What a dumb way to fight. It's really annoying."

I grumble as I unleash dark magic to attack the enemy.
