9. fight back!
A pleasant sea breeze brushes through your hair. The sunlight reflects off the vast blue sea and is dazzling.
I hear the recorder beeping in my head as I close my eyes. Song title My Heart Will Go On.
“what are you doing······?”
Luna asked a question while looking at Yui standing on the bow with her arms spread out and me hugging her from behind.
“No, because the way is boring.”
If I don’t do something like this, I think I’m going to get a mental illness because I’m bored.
We are currently aboard the ship in search of Leviathan. As in the airship, this is our home for the time being.
It took a long time to prepare this ship as well. Because this ship was also built. What crazy captain would want to lend his boat to a place that is sure to break?
And the biggest problem is that we couldn’t find a captain to help us.
-We’re trying to catch an S-class monster, can you drive the boat?
– Whoa, whoa! go away! A strange guy is coming to get lucky.
The captain at the port tried everything. I tried to convince them to give me a large sum of money, but what use would money be if I died?
I even threatened to kill him if I didn’t go, but he said that if I go, I will die, and if I don’t go, I will die.
‘People should know how to risk their lives for romance. That’s why it’s called the lower men.’
Eh tsk tsk.
Anyway, we had to build a boat, and we had to find a captain. Of course, there is no race more suitable than the Dwarves for this kind of work. Going to Marquina like last time?
-You… you bastard!
– Oh, nice to meet you. We need a boat. Please make us a boat.
-dog sound! Turn it off… Eup!
Somehow, the dwarves we abandoned in the past somehow returned. My face was drawn, but it was enough for me to stay alive.
So I twisted him again and made him build a boat.
And I just found out that his name is Hassan. Both the person who built this boat and the person who drives it are all Hassan.
“Mr. Luke… I’m cold now, so I want to go in…”
“They say how cold it was.”
“Did you know we’ve been doing this for three hours already…?”
oh. Has it already happened?
“Then you should go in and rest.”
I took the trembling Yui and went inside the ship.
This time, as with the airship, the interior was made.
The Whirlpool Coast is famous among fishermen, so it wasn’t difficult to get information.
However, as before, it took some time to build the boat, and it took time to move to the Whirlpool Sea.
Since there is no intention of fighting on the sea anyway, the ship was built only enough to not be destroyed, and there was no jet motor running, so they were enjoying sailing at a slow speed.
Lying in bed and enjoying the freedom, Luna returned from Hassan.
“How many left?”
“They say they’ll arrive soon.”
It’s been a week since we’ve been sailing. Looks like it’s finally arrived. Killed a lot along the way.
Even if monsters appeared close to the coast, only weak ones like goblins appeared.
From the 3rd day, strong monsters appeared as many as schools of fish.
Thanks to that, when I go back, I won’t even look at the fish for a while. And I’m glad none of us got motion sickness. If there was, that would have been more frightening.
Make sure to read from noble mtl . com
Motion sickness all week? It must be harder than catching Leviathan.
“Luke, can you explain this plan before we arrive?”
“Is there anything special? Just go for it. Kill it. End.”
“I don’t think there’s any plausible plan this time either…”
The point of any plan is everything I said anyway. Is there a hunt that doesn’t hit and doesn’t kill?
“Hey! We’ve arrived!”
The moment I finished speaking, Hassan came down the stairs and said.
“Okay. Everyone get ready.”
i woke up first Three followed after him.
“Yes.”
“okay.”
“Hueng… I just came in…”
When I climbed the stairs and went outside, I noticed dark clouds in the sky and several whirlpools in the sea, meshing like gears.
However, the water was calm without a single wave, and its appearance was very foreign. Perhaps this vortex itself was created by Leviathan.
“It’s just like a legendary Pokémon.”
Those who stay still until an event occurs in a designated spot.
“What are you going to do now? It’s impossible to go further.”
The boat we were on stopped before entering the vortex waters in front of us. Because going there by boat is tantamount to suicide.
“Well, I have to lure it like it was at the ballet. Is there anything special?”
No matter how much I hide, I won’t hesitate to come to me. If we attack first, he will eventually show himself.
“Now, I’m going to use all the mana you’ve been saving here.”
“where?”
“Just blow it anywhere. It’s here somewhere anyway.”
At my instruction, Luna, Yui, and Liche spread their magic roughly around the vortex.
-pop! pop! pop!
Hassan manipulated the cannon and attacked. Since I can’t use magic, I threw magic bombs and regular shells. Due to the bombardment, a large column of water gushed out.
I was throwing bombs one by one with the feeling of floating a water swallow like that.
At some point, the surrounding vortex gradually lost its majesty. The sea became calm and calm as if it had never been. As if it were a harbinger of what was about to happen, the stillness created a sense of fear.
Immediately after, a huge shadow fell below us.
“Here! It’s great!”
The moment I spoke, sleep surged. As if the water column created by the magic we threw was a child’s play, we couldn’t see the huge water column in front of us even if we bent our heads endlessly.
-Kwaaa—.
Water cascading over our heads like a waterfall. Soon, something huge emerged from within the water column.
Exactly what I was trying to reveal. I took out the transfer stone from my inventory and threw it as hard as I could before Leviathan showed up.
A large transfer stone that I requested and received from Amy in the past.
“Break that thing!”
At the right timing, the three blew their magic and broke the transfer stone.
Then, despite being in the middle of the sea, a large magic circle formed under Leviathan. Soon after, the figure of Leviathan disappeared with a large light.
First bread victory.
The key to this attack was to spawn before coming out and screaming loudly.
***
“Whoa…”
The Office of the Dean of the Journal Academy.
Inserting the quill she had been holding all day, Lucia leaned against the backrest and stretched her arms outstretched.
Next to the table she was sitting on was a pile of papers stacked at her eye level. Even those seemingly numerous papers were a bit better these days.
In the past, when demons frequently appeared, I thought that I might die from being buried in papers.
“Ehh… Hurry up, I’ll have to find a successor and hand it over to him or take a break.”
Every time it’s hard like this, I think about it once. He said he wanted to relax while doing what he wanted to do like Gideon or Amy.
In addition, she was suffering from increased fatigue due to the constant tension.
‘When the hell would that be?’
It’s already been two months since Luke last said those words. It’s been quite a while, but I still don’t know when the ‘then’ Luke spoke of was.
Of course, since the monsters to be hunted were monsters, it was only natural that it would take a long time. Still, if you explained it in detail, where would it go?
Not knowing when the S-class monster raid would start, she spent every day nervous.
“Sigh···.”
-thud!
At that moment, the entire academy was shaken. No, judging by its size, the entire empire was shaken.
“······!”
Startled, she went out to the window and saw a huge blue thing crossing the empire.
***
I dropped the monster in the sky. Then, what is the strategy for attacking the monsters in the sea? Of course it’s about pulling it out of the water.
Make sure to read from noble mtl . com
Most fish cannot be active on land for long, unless, like turtles, they can be active both on land and in the sea.
In the case of sharks, if you don’t swim continuously, you can’t breathe.
In other words, it is said that half of the attack has been achieved just by taking it out of the sea.
I moved the Leviathan to the transition stone where the coordinates were registered above the Empire. After that, we also used the transition stone to return to the Empire.
Then all I hear are screams and screams.
“Everyone seems to have liked my present.”
As soon as they returned, they gave such strong cheers.
Visual information other than auditory information showed the appearance of Leviathan, who had divided the empire into two.
Huge fins growing from her back, blue-green scales covering her entire body, sharp teeth like chewing gum on her belly, smaller in width than Valais, but longer than that.
“It’s perfectly compatible with Sea Serpent.”
It is perfectly upward compatible with the Sea Serpent that I caught in the past. Of course, its strength cannot be expressed with higher compatibility, but the moment the marine monster came out on land, it was as good as already dead.
“I don’t know if this is right…”
“I don’t know how different we are from Hassan, who invaded Maquina…”
Luna and Liche next to me chanted. I guess I feel guilty now.
“Follow Yui. Rather, I’m training humanity, right? Rather than feeling guilty, I should be confident.”
An S-class monster that you can’t kill even if you want to kill it. Humanity is always trembling in fear from a terrifying danger that even a single one can change the map of the continent.
Of course, we who know the truth don’t worry about what they’re going to do.
When Behemoth invaded the Empire in the past, didn’t everyone unite and defeat it? It is possible this time too. You will make your wish come true with your own hands! don’t run away! fight back!
“Humans are too weak. We can’t live in this harsh world then.”
There is a saying that lions drop their cubs off cliffs. Of course, it’s not really like that, but it’s a slang word meaning to raise a child strong.
Compared to the strength of other races, today’s humans are too weak.
Of course, there are exceptionally strong people like S-class adventurers, but it just feels like a mutant.
As a species average, humans disappear from the map as soon as war breaks out.
“So today I will train the humans.”
Luke Fitness.
Day 1 operations begin.
