10. proxy hunting
In an instant, the empire was at odds.
The Imperial Knights headed for Leviathan with only one loyalty to protect the emperor and the empire, whether they lived or died, and the adventurers attacked together, as if they had received an urgent request.
He might have run away from that terrifying size, but he must have felt that it was worth it after seeing the immobile Leviathan.
To be honest, I don’t know why Leviathan is still standing still, but there was something roughly expected.
‘I can’t understand the current situation.’
Even the people of the Empire would be confused by the sudden invasion, but it wouldn’t be just the people of the Empire.
From Leviathan’s point of view, he thought that an intruder would suddenly throw a bomb at his house, but when he came out to kill the intruder, he was quickly moved to another place.
Of course you will be dumbfounded.
At that moment, a large fireball flew from somewhere and landed on Leviathan’s side. The size of the fireball was also considerable, but compared to the larger Leviathan, it felt a bit lacking.
Still, for marine monsters, fire was no different from their weakness.
-────────────!!!!!!!
Leviathan was in pain with a deafening roar. But the attack did not end there. Huge icebergs and lightning, and wind and earth. All kinds of magic except water were rampant.
With that as a starting signal, the adventurers and the Imperial Knights also began pouring attacks on Leviathan.
“Did you mean this by asking for help…”
A voice came over me as I watched the raid.
The owner of the voice is Lucia Marigold. She, who had sought help before I set off, slowly descended on top of me.
“I thought I’d know when the time was right?”
If you don’t know this, you should just die.
“I didn’t expect it to be like this…”
“Still, like you said, the academy is busy and you can’t help, right?”
He said he couldn’t go outside the empire because he was busy, so he personally went to the sea and brought it by air.
“Is that an S-class monster?”
“Neng. My name is Leviathan. I just caught it and it’s fresh, right?”
“…what did you do to do this later?”
“Will you have time to say something to me when it’s over?”
I dropped it in the middle of the road, not a building, saying it would cause fewer injuries. I don’t care if I drop it anywhere, but Amy made it that way.
After the raid is over, you have to restore the collapsed building and treat the victims. The imperial family probably isn’t too busy, do they have time to say anything to me?
What do you guys say without knowing my heart that I went all the way to the sea to get stronger? that’s up to a billion.
For a while, Leviathan lay on the cold floor of the empire and was beaten. Aren’t you sick? Well, if I was sick, I would have been out of my mind long ago.
I can see why mankind can’t hunt S-class monsters. It must be because there is no meaningful damage even after attacking so hard.
“Why are you doing that?”
“Well, maybe it’s because they’re not worth dealing with.”
“…even if you say it.”
why. I didn’t say anything wrong. If an ant climbs up my leg, I wouldn’t seriously deal with it.
It must be said that the adventurers and the Imperial Knights are just like ants to Leviathan right now.
That moment.
-────────────!!!!!!!!
Leviathan, who had been quiet so far, roared. Several adventurers in front of them fainted at the ear-piercing roar.
At the same time, a shadow fell over the empire. When I checked what was going on, there were dark clouds in the sky that had been cloudless until just now.
“what···!”
“Yeah~”
And water gushed from all over the empire. The biggest water column is towards the lake in the plaza.
“Are you manipulating water…?”
“I see.”
“But how can you be so carefree in this situation…?”
“The ballerina I caught last time also called the spirits of the dead. What?”
It’s about changing the weather and manipulating water. It’s mediocre compared to that.
Right after that, the dark cloud, full of water, began pouring out like a brokenhearted girl.
It looks like it’s raining, but the amount is considerable. Roughly looking at the amount of rainfall, it seemed like the empire would be submerged in water in just one day.
At the same time, Leviathan stood up.
“I dragged it, and it came with a time bomb attached.”
If you can’t raid before the empire is locked, the empire will perish.
“Then I’ll go stop it!”
Lucia flew through the sky again and headed to where Leviathan was. Once again, the magic bombardment continued, and this time Leviathan did not just greet them, but also responded.
While Lucia was confronting Leviathan, the adventurers and the Imperial Knights moved. Before he knew it, he mobilized everything that could be called siege weapons and attacked Leviathan.
Even if you are like an ant, you can’t help being annoying. Aren’t humans afraid of bees that are much smaller than themselves? It’s not like Leviathan was frightened, but it was inevitable that even the smallest amount of damage would cause annoyance if it accumulated.
-──────────!!!!!!!!
Leviathan gave a long roar and attacked indiscriminately. The rain falling from the sky was transformed into a large mass of water like hailstones, each of which was large enough to easily crush dozens of people.
When no one was able to move in such a crisis of annihilation, all sorts of magic along with a huge amount of magic offset the falling water mass.
Above it was Lucia, who was leisurely flying in the sky as if this was enough to spare.
-Wowaaa!
The morale of the people who saw it instantly increased. Because I saw the possibility.
“Ohhh… I’m sure you’re an S-class adventurer.”
I guess this is why people use proxy.
“Oh, it’s comfortable.”
“…are we doing anything?”
“Get some rest.”
I’ve just returned from a voyage, so I need some time off. How can a person just work and live?
“Honestly, it’s possible without us.”
Normally, it would be absolutely impossible for humans to gather together and hunt S-class monsters. Still, the reason it’s holding up so well is because Leviathan is a marine monster.
Even if you get out of your own habitat, you’ve been away for a long time. It is only natural that monsters that live in the sea will be greatly weakened when they come to land.
No matter how much it rained and manipulated the water to collect all the water in the empire, it was far less than the sea.
If only Gideon was here, I can guarantee you that you could hunt enough.
“Then shall we have a late lunch while we are taking a break?”
I found it just before lunchtime and brought it back. Now is the time to get hungry. Since it was raining, I made a tent, took firewood and a pot from my inventory, and sat on the roof of the building to make a bonfire.
“…I feel like I’m going to die buried in guilt.”
“Me too······.”
Luna, Richie! Still don’t know?! Forget the guilt! Guilt is an emotion that doesn’t help anything in life!
Be true to your instincts like me and Yui! Look at Yui! When I ask to eat, he drools like a starved puppy for several days!
– Chi Ik.
I put the emergency food I had prepared to eat at sea on top of the pot. The emergency food is, of course, meat.
-thud! bang!
-──────────!!!!!!!!
Explosions and roars heard from somewhere while the meat was being grilled.
“Ugh, who’s making this noise. You don’t have table manners.”
“”······.””
Even though they both look at each other with mischievous eyes, they take the meat on a plate and hand it over to them. Yes, Mt. Geumgang is also said to be after a meal. How can a person work without eating?
As I ate, the atmosphere changed at some point. The sky, which had been dark with dark clouds, had turned into a blue-green sky like Leviathan.
“Is it Phase 3?”
Phase 1 would have been skipped as we dragged it from the sea. What I’ve been doing so far is Phase 2. And it feels like phase 3 is the last one.
“Look, they’re doing just fine without us.”
The sound that Phase 3 has come out must mean that the raid is progressing steadily. While eating, I watched the raid as if I was watching YouTube.
The rain that fell from the sky came together and created a huge whirlpool. Lucia blocked the water column soaring high into the sky, causing her nose to bleed.
Next was an unexpected scale attack. The scales on Leviathan’s body shot out. Because of their size, each one could destroy a building. But······.
“Ah, I’m not attacking like that.”
Attacking by flying your own scales is like a knight taking off his armor and throwing it. Does taking off the scales make you feel lighter?
Of course, the scales will grow back, but they won’t grow right away.
During that moment, you will reveal your weaknesses intact.
-──────────!!!!!
The human camp is spread out in a circle surrounding Leviathan. That is why, the moment the scales become empty in even one place and a weakness is revealed, they are immediately attacked.
Tuk-tuk, shaking my butt, I got up from my seat and took out a sword from my inventory and held it.
“Where are you going?”
“Hunting Leviathan.”
“Weren’t you taking a break…?”
“Put a spoon on it and eat some experience points.”
You have to take care of everything. Even if you rest when people are resting, you can’t become a Hogu, right? That’s what I caught, but if I don’t eat experience, I don’t have as much hukou as that.
I leaped from the roof and flew towards the Leviathan.
The scene seen on the way to fly was the human camp, which is not strange when it collapses from exhaustion from a long battle, and the tattered Leviathan, which does not have the grand appearance when first seeing it.
I flew straight to the scaleless part of the Leviathan and got stuck like a pile bunker. The Leviathan, which staggered like a wind balloon parked in front of the store, fell over and slammed its huge face to the ground.
[ Level Up! Check your status! ]
[ Level Up! Check your status! ]
[ Level Up! Check your status! ]
[ Level Up! Status… ]
That’s how the Leviathan Raid ended.
It was very insignificant for the end of an S-class monster, but in the end, as long as it was a creature, it could not escape the limits of its birth.
Honestly, if a guy who lived in the sea came out to land and drove the empire to the brink of destruction, it would have been good.
The calamity collapsed, but strangely, no cheers were heard. When I looked around to see what was going on, everyone suddenly appeared and looked at me with a blank expression.
“What you looking at.”
