Master Of None

'Undead coral stingray

The stingray was accidentally killed as it was crushed between a ship and the coral. It is one of the many monsters killed in this way. As the souls of those that were unaware of their death or unhappy with it rise again, the sting gray followed.

Undead Salty seagull

The seagull known for having its feathers always coated in the salt from the ocean perished as it fed on rotting flesh from the undead. It is now following the ghost ship as a permanent member of its forces…

Pirate zombie

Responsible for many of the dead, the pirates in the area caused countless deaths before the corals grew uncontrollably. Now that they were trapped, the pirates soon were victims of the coral reefs that they used to trap ships. Many refused to accept their ends and rallied under their captain even in death. They are the most dangerous undead connected to the ghost ship other than the ghost captain.

Ghost captain

This is the core of the ship. The undead with the highest intellect that can somewhat control the entire ship, undead, and the mana within them. They can spread a decaying aura around them while debuffing the living. They are stronger at night when the deathly energy is stronger within the darkness mana.

This captain has long been here after the crashing of their ship. The ship was stranded on the rocks before the coral was here as it was fleeing a battle among the great Rize empire and the great Fell empire. The opposing views have caused many deaths among the people and the populace of the Sigil continent.'

Walker was using his all around appraisal as often as he could. He was not stopping for a second as the ghost ship and the many different undead monsters appeared. However, when the ghost ship neared even more, he was able to finally get a clear enough look at the taller zombie that was leading them all; the ghost ship captain.

The rotting clothes appeared to be a blue military uniform. It was too rotted to make much out from it, however, the system gave Walker some very important information about the entire continent. He wanted to rush to the others and tell them, unfortunately, this was not the time. This was too dangerous of a moment to worry about who the Rize and Fel empires were.

"This is the continent of Sigil, we have to beat these zombies before we get to speak to the two empires here. Stand strong and make sure you focus on that ship's captain. It is the control of all these zombies. Unless you burn them to ashes, they will not be destroyed properly. Be aware!" Walker's warning was repeated throughout the entire ship and the other ships. He could barely hear the message being passed on

"Sigil continent? So you learned more?" Gil asked this questions somewhat casually as he aimed an arrow at a salty seagull. The seagull was pierced by a light elemental wither spike arrow. It started to fall before a burst of light caused it to begin to fall apart to dust before it even touched the water. The only thing left was an empty arrow without any mana within it.

"You just said that we have to take down that captain?" Leon caught Walker before he could get far from the watch tower he had been on.

"Yes, we need to somehow get there and use the right skills to beat him. That ghost ship captain is probably one of the oldest undead here. He's left over from a war between the two empires of this continent." Leon gave a nod and immediately started to pull Walkern toward where the healers that could use light elemental skills were together.

Alice's sweet voice was standing out against all the loud orders and shouts. She was truly an outlier in every situation. It was just one small reason why Walker could never get her out of his mind. "We are going to be launching an attack on the ghost ship. Can you handle the defenses while we take Alice with us?"

Although Walker wanted to tell Leon this was stupid since she was the best healer, Walker knew he was the one being foolish. She was the best healer and user of light elemental mana on any of the ships. Rise was not going to act with the other continent so close. They could be faced with wyverns at any moment. If they were not prepared, then the dragons would watch the wyverns tear apart the ships they traveled on.

"Alice, we will need you to come with us and fight the ship. Can you manage?" Walker saw Leon giving orders to forget the defensive barriers and to focus on directly fighting the undead. Meanwhile, Walker was stopping Alice from singing so that she could prepare to go in to battle with him and the merfolk.

"I can do it. Bring Onyx too." This wasn't surprising. Onyx and aurora would be able to make a difference here. Aurora was still young and had been resting most days. As a heavenly serpent though, she was able to manipulate the light and attack with it. The undead were extremely weak to it, so that made things even easier for the younger serpent. Onyx would also have this advantage.

"He is already getting ready. I can feel him waiting for me over there. Su, come with us too! Remey and Gil have the ship covered. Midnight is already moving to the skies with a few of the harpies to handle the salted seagulls." Su was right nearby. She had stayed near Walker the entire time even though she was still not fully rested. She had a light shield skill and had to be ready to use it in these circumstances.

Everyone had fallen right in to battle. Perfectly. It was also easy to see that the king of the surface and Scylla were allowing Leon to lead the charge against the ghost ship since he was the best option to get there. Scylla could walk through the air but if she did she would have to fight the flying undead that were swarming the skies. That was why it was better to remain on the ships for her and protect them with wind and water attacks.

Gathering the healers that were willing to take the battle to the ghost ship was surprisingly easy. Not every healer had battle training, some were just very good healers and had come with the ships to ensure that everyone was safe. Although this might be the case, there was a united spirit in many healers. They were not afraid of rushing in to a battle. They would be making a difference if they fought or if they healed. This was a rare chance to fight.

"Clear the path for the healers and merfolk warriors!" The dragonkin that came together were very familiar to Walker. They were the light affinity dragonkin that had come on the ships by order of Rise. they were wearing permanent scowls on their faces after seeing the undead. This was simple, the undead were the opposite of the healing and purity of light. Any light affinity being would feel some hatred toward them.

They were already slashing out with their swords and light elemental attacks to defeat the zombies that were attempting to crawl on the ship. They had three lifeboats lowered, two of which had other dragonkin and merfolk on them. The waters were dangerous, but they didn't care. They would be fighting until the undead were truly dead and gone. It was their duty. It also showed that Rise was not idle, she was giving them close orders to fight even though she was not around.

Rise was unable to directly interact, she was in the higher skies with the other dragons looking for any approach of the wyverns. They all wanted to take to the continent in the distance, yet, they did not want to go without every single force they could muster. They had no idea what was waiting for them there. They had to take caution to properly destroy their enemies.

"Lower the boat!" four more lifeboats well from the ship as the ropes were released. The undead in the waters around proved to mostly be small fish and monsters that were barely held together. The spears, swords, and other weapons easily cleaved through them.

Once Alice started up her song of swords, many light elemental swords appeared around them. They were thin and weak, but to the undead, even the weakest light sword that Alice's song conjured was enough to slice through them.

A wave of light elemental mana fell over everything as a single roar came from the sky. Rise was not just watching, she saw the skills being used and wanted to help where she could. Her hatred of the undead proved to be stronger than Walker expected since she was willing to use her mana in the night to help them so much. No one was wasting this chance. They had to make it to the ghost ship and defeat the ghost ship captain.
