Interlude - Dietrich Maxwell’s Adventure Part 18 - The Last Duel That night, I headed to the White Demons’ vessel. I boarded the moonlit ship and saw Grace on top of the mast. “Hey. Beautiful night, isn’t it.” “...yeah.” Grace hopped down onto the deck and approached me. The petite white-haired woman was wearing a white dress again. There wasn’t any blood on it this time, obviously. Because of the moonlight and the transparent dress, Grace looked eerily beautiful, like a fairy…

Interlude - Dietrich Maxwell’s Adventure Part 17 - Letter from Home Having successfully found the pirate booty, we loaded our ship as much as we could and left Alexandrite island. The ship was filled to the brim, but even so I doubt we even took 1% of the treasures hoarded in that room. The White Demons were going to take control of that island and use it as their home base from then on. “Hey, Dietrich. Won’t you join the White Demons too?” At the Sapphire kingdom harbor, Grace gave me my share…

Interlude - Dietrich Maxwell’s Adventure Part 16 - Pirate Treasures After taking down the Sea Hydra, Grace and I proceeded deeper into the cave. Gourd and the others stayed behind, so we were on our own. “Are you really sure about leaving them?” “Can’t help it, the Sea Hydra needs to be dealt with fast. If you can remove the poison properly, the scales and skin can fetch good money, and the gallbladder has its uses too.” “Hmm, I see.” Grace’s tone was the same as usual: her arms…

Interlude - Dietrich Maxwell’s Adventure Part 15 - The Two-Headed Snake The “Hydra”, a poisonous snake with multiple heads, was a rather common sight in Dungeons. I too had encountered a few, in my explorations of the Dungeons in the Lamperouge kingdom. I also killed and skinned some. “This one is way too big!!” The Sea Hydra was the size of a building. Its enormous jaws, opened to the limits, were dripping — or rather, cascading — a black liquid. “That’s poison! Stay away!” So I…

Interlude - Dietrich Maxwell’s Adventure Part 14 - The Guardian of the Ruins After defeating the Lion King crew, we eventually reached Alexandrite island. The day was nearly over: the sinking sun illuminated the western sky orange. Alexandrite was supposed to have been the home of an ancient magic civilization, but there were no ruins or relics in sight: it looked like any other desert island. “Are you really sure that pirate booty of yours is here?” “Aye, no doubt about it, sir. In this bay…

Interlude - Dietrich Maxwell’s Adventure Part 13 - Unexpected Weakness I had sunk maybe my 7th ship when the Lion King crew started retreating. Grace had apparently taken out their boss. “She tosses me out, then takes the best part for herself? The ego of that woman…” I grumbled to myself as I jumped on the ship where Grace was. The destruction of so many ships had filled the sea with wreckage and dead bodies: there was no shortage of footholds. “Ooh, great work out there! Flying just like a…

Interlude - Dietrich Maxwell’s Adventure Part 12 - The Ruler of the Seas “W-Who the hell is that!?” The fleet commander Galahart Blutleid, witnessing his ships sinking one after the other, shouted in surprise. A man armed with a single sword was responsible: it was like a nightmare in human form, straight out of those eastern demons’ tales. The Lion King crew had surrounded the White Demons’ ship in an arc-like formation, but the right-wing was already collapsing. “Is that a man or a…

Interlude - Dietrich Maxwell’s Adventure Part 11 - Mankind’s First Manned Flight The pirate battle continued to escalate. The 20 Lion King vessels shot fire arrows without pause. I cut down the flaming objects with my sword, while Grace countered by launching cannonballs. The sea battle continued for a while, without either side giving in. “We’re not losing, but we’re not dealing decisive damage either! We can’t keep up against those numbers at this rate!!” So I yelled as I once again swung…
