Runes lit up all across the Leonard, shimmering with golden light as a visible golden barrier materialized around the ship.
"Hahaha, kill them!"
"It's been a while since we've had some action. My hands are getting itchy."

Meanwhile, on the other side, Inar simultaneously activated a Rune Array. Over a hundred sailors raised their firearms, aiming at the pirates on the Leonard, ready to open fire at a moment's notice.

Before she could finish, Ronan cut her off. "You've been given a choice! If you don't want to die, then shut your mouth and wait for the outcome!"
If this were his old ship, the *Ronan*, he would have had to compare their strengths. But on the Leonard, the power of its Rune Array was more than enough to handle any Extraordinary below the Director Level.
"Grego, open fire!"
