Chapter 112
floating islands (2)
Cheeks, Cheeks!
Artillery was revealed as gun doors opened in various places on the hull.
All of them were the latest magic cannons bought at a high price from the Mage Tower.
bang! Kwak Kwa Kwak! bang!
Every time the muzzle spewed flames, the vessel rocked violently, and spray rose to the surface of the sea.
-Please note. Due to the fact that seawater species have been found in the sea, all guests should safely move to their rooms following the guidance of the crew… … .
pop! Puffup!
The sound of the cannons was so loud that the announcement was buried.
At the same time, the mercenaries who were watching Theo’s party moved in perfect order.
As one, the current situation is familiar.
‘Recently, the appearance of sea water species has become particularly frequent. Is that because of that?’
Theo meticulously examined the faces of the senior mercenaries while imbuing them with spirituality in his eyes.
Hwaaak!
“Not a single cannon is right! Anyway, the magic tower, you swindlers! It’s expensive and nothing fits!”
The dog-headed beastman grumbled and struck down with a spear much bigger than himself.
Just in time, the seawater that was about to rise above the railing was violently splashed out and crashed to the surface.
“Yeah. Next time, I really need to tell Antonio to stop trading, or something.”
Gunslinger assembled the parts from his backpack to create a large multiple-firing machine gun, then scratched the trigger above the sea level.
dripping-
The surrounding sea turned red with the blood shed by the sea beasts, large and small, from bullet wounds.
“Jong-al-jong-al, don’t make a lot of noise, how do you put them all together! It’s hard to hit!”
The flame magician, who was the only one Theo was interested in, twitched his fingers while holding a cigarette in his mouth.
The magic activated thanks to the gloves with the magic circle on them started bombardment, but it didn’t do much damage to the guys in the sea.
Still, the power was certain, and it had a great effect on the seamen who were aiming for the ship.
In addition, mercenaries with various weapons showed various activities, such as cutting and pushing sea beasts.
Some even showed off their auras in a plausible way.
I was just discouraged by Selford and Arin, but they were never lacking anywhere.
And in fact, there was a level that could be called ‘special class’ among them.
thud!
thud!
“Theo! How long will you be like this?”
“Determine quickly what to do.”
Shelford and Arin stood next to Theo as if escorting him, prompting the decision.
‘found.’
Theo smiled convincingly, realizing that among the mercenaries was the one he wanted.
He found a similar temperament to the slow gang he dealt with previously.
After all, he did well not to tell me in advance even though he knew the sea species was approaching.
No, actually, it was Theo who called them here.
It was because they seduced those who were gathering on the seabed with the magic incense made by analyzing the sea king’s magic.
“The two of you, please stop the seawater from harming the general public. I will move separately.”
“What are you thinking? i get it.”
“For now, I will refrain from revealing my skills as much as possible.”
dig-
The moment Selford and Arin pulled out their swords and threw them into the air, the heads of the sea beasts exploded all at once.
– It’s black! The swordsman came out!
– I can stop it! push it all the way!
The faces of the crew members and mercenaries also turned bright.
He was afraid when he was an enemy, but he was very reassuring when he was an ally.
Theo, on the other hand, was moving in a different direction than the two of them.
＜God of Thunder – Storm＞
-Shit! I couldn’t believe it, but he’s a real sea serpent!
oh oh oh!
Just in time, a species of sea snake, over a dozen meters in length, appeared on the sea side and began to coil around the vessel.
Quadduk-
There were wounds all over the ship.
The cannon fired again to get rid of it, but instead, it hit the sea serpent’s body and bounced off, creating a scene where the deck was smashed.
A monster that is classified as the highest class among sea creatures.
They’ve eaten a couple of ships lately, and they’re notoriously dangerous.
“fire! Fire! hurry!”
“I am doing it! It’s crazy, so stop talking!”
The fire mage, Gray Gang, memorized a spell while biting his teeth.
‘Even a bastard who thinks it’s a Rant has to stop, but what the hell is this?!’
Gray’s hidden identity is a second-class member of the Black Skull.
Normally, he would stay as an escort for Antonio, but his main job was to secretly extract necessary information from the Spinola family.
Then, a little while ago, I happened to overhear Theo and his party talking about the sea king.
The King of the Sea is a being treated as a secret not only by the 3 shipping houses, but also by the Black Skull.
Having come to find it meant that it might have something to do with Troy-Ban.
So, I planned to take advantage of the opportunity and use my hidden skills to capture Theo alive.
Of course, at this timing, sea bells popped out, which made the situation painful.
‘First of all, I have to solve those things and think about it… … !’
“Are you Black Skull?”
For a moment, Gray’s thoughts were interrupted.
And as he hurriedly turned his head toward it, something came crashing down on him.
very quickly and stealthily.
“Gray! Gray is gone!”
“what? It must have been here a while ago!”
“this! Did you catch the seaweed? Find it before it gets dragged into the sea! hurry!”
While the mercenaries were frightened, the Gray Gang was dangling dangling from the mast watchtower.
‘This guy!’
thump thump!
Gray’s heart felt like it was beating like crazy.
Theo was laughing coldly, covering his mouth.
Doesn’t he mention the sea king, doesn’t he know that he is the Black Skull?
I couldn’t figure out the alternate identity.
“You know this, right?”
Then, the moment Theo pulled out a sword he didn’t know where he took it from and showed it.
“Eup! Ugh!”
“I know, too.”
Gray struggled to let go of this immediately.
However, he couldn’t overcome Theo’s strength.
Balmung!
The treasure of the hometown that he and his colleagues had been trying so hard to find was right in front of them!
What I thought Troyban had taken!
‘What happened… … !’
“Didn’t Troyban use this as an excuse to threaten you guys? If you listen carefully, I will return it. I promise to put the sea king back to sleep. Am I right?”
“… … .”
Gray tried his best not to show anything, but Theo didn’t miss his agitation.
‘Also. Troy Ban pretended to have retrieved the dragon slasher and was exploiting the Shipping Federation.’
If I had done something similar in my previous life, I wondered if it would have been similar in my present life. The guess was correct.
Then, with this, it was possible to completely sever the link between the Shipping Federation and Troy Ban.
“In exchange for returning this, I want to talk to your boss. Can you mediate?”
Gray closed his eyes tightly.
I didn’t even resist anymore.
I mean just kill.
“yes. It’s only natural to be suspicious when you say you want to get hooked up. I don’t even know what kind of strange tricks Troyban is up to. right?”
“… … .”
“Then, wouldn’t it be better to prove that I have nothing to do with Troy-Ban?”
Theo released his hand from pressing Gray.
dump!
“what… … Do you think?”
Gray frowned as soon as he regained his physical freedom.
Theo grinned.
“Did you tell me? I will prove that I have nothing to do with Troy Ban. But it’s difficult right now, so I’ll show you something else.”
“… … ?”
“That I really need you guys.”
Before Gray could ask what he was talking about, Theo was already flying towards the sea.
Faaat-
“Umbra!”
In an instant, Umbra jumped out like a shark from the shadow of the Sea Serpent reflected in the waves of the sea and bit the body with its jaws.
Kwajik!
Kiehek-
It was a sea serpent that boasted scales hard enough to deflect shells, but Umbra’s jaw strength was far greater than that, so it struggled back and forth.
Umbra tried to drag the Sea Serpent into the sea or not,
Keek!
In the end, the Sea Serpent could not hold out any longer and sank to the bottom of the water.
-Sir, the serpent has been released!
– What happened? I thought you were attracted to something?
-do not know! What do you know about that! It’s important to be able to use cannons now!
-right! Concentrated fire! Fire crossfire!
bang! Kwak Kwa Kwak!
puffer pung-
While broken fragments of sea water are scattered randomly in the air,
It was around that time that Theo fell into the sea while drawing a parabola.
with a splash!
‘Ji, did you really jump in?’
Gray hurriedly ran to the edge of the watchtower and looked down.
– I will prove that you need me.
Theo’s words kept ringing in my head.
On the other hand, I stomped my feet, wondering if Balmung, who had finally found a hint, might be sinking to the bottom of the sea.
“Sea Serpent! You have to catch the Sea Serpent first! We have to catch him first!”
While Gray’s screams were drowned out by the sound of cannons.
Theo was watching Umbra and the Sea Serpent squealing on the sea floor.
The Sea Serpent wrapped his long body around Umbra, as if to avenge the wounds he suffered a moment ago.
Umbra still didn’t release the bite he was holding on to, but rather bit harder, turning the slaughter into mush.
A tense battle that neither of them seem to lose.
However, it was clear that Umbra would be in danger if left as it was.
This is the realm of the Sea Serpent, and Umbra didn’t know how to breathe underwater.
Pod! Pod! Pod! Pod!
So, Theo activated the thunderbolt god and quickly approached the Sea Serpent while moving the death beat.
And the four thunder dragons that rise.
As the spirit of enthusiasm increased, a tremendous amount of water bubbles poured onto the surface of the sea whenever the thunder dragons twisted their bodies, which contained even more intense heat.
bang! bang! bang! bang!
The four Thunder Dragons exploded on the Sea Serpent as they were, and increased their output to get them away from Umbra.
The cerebral qi, which was already easily diffused by the seawater, increased more explosively, covering the entire body of the Sea Serpent, and inflicting internal injuries as it squeezed into the wounds.
coor uh… … !
[Activate ‘Skill: Wyvern Taming’ to seduce the Sea Serpent.]
At that moment, Theo approached the Sea Serpent and immediately activated the prepared skill.
A skill specialized in taming dragon-species monsters or spirit creatures.
[The seduction fails due to the strong resistance of the Sea Serpent.]
[Reactivate the skill.]
[Since Serpent’s resistance is strong, appeasement fails.]
[Reactivate the skill.]
.
.
[Cast ‘Skill: Hatchling Synchro’ to try to break down the Sea Serpent’s mental barrier.]
In just a few seconds, countless skill activations came and went.
And finally, I was able to accomplish what I wanted.
[You have succeeded in breaking down some of the Sea Serpent’s mental barriers.]
[Read some of the thoughts.]
Whoa!
Several sights passed quickly before Theo’s eyes.
A deep-sea plain that only appears when you dig deep into a submarine canyon.
There, an ancient dragon with an elongated shape boasting an enormous size that could not be fully captured by the eye was twisting its body here and there in agony.
sea king.
Theo could see that it was what Lodbrok had been talking about.
Purr-
It was the intimidating feeling of the sea king, and the magical wind was tremendous.
Every time he twisted his body, the mantle was stimulated, causing terrible disasters such as eruption of submarine volcanoes and earthquakes on the continent.
-father.
The sea serpent was looking at the sea king with pity.
Having lived as the King’s son and servant for a very long time, he only wanted to relieve the King’s pain somehow.
-Please wait a moment. I will find someone who can help somehow.
After that, the sea serpent took the sea creatures that followed him and headed outside.
It was because he judged that the human species living outside the sea could use the mysterious power of magic to relieve the sea king’s pain.
‘I must have thought wrong.’
Theo then realized his mistake.
In the first place, the sea serpent and sea species had no intention of harming humans.
They just resisted because the humans they feared tried to attack first.
Rather, I tried to have a conversation in the beginning.
Although it failed every time.
-human.
back into reality.
Theo met eyes with the Sea Serpent, twisted in pain.
-Unlike other humans, you have a scent similar to your father’s. Can you help your father?
desperate cry.
Theo nodded.
I will.
– I’ll believe it.
And the bell rang
Tring!
Tring!
[The temptation has succeeded.]
[Taming the Sea Serpent and making it his follower.]
[Please give me a name.]
‘Pontus.’
An old name for the sea.
[‘Sea Serpent: Pontus’ bows to its new owner.]
