#142
142. Receive Hunt (2)
I checked the other side while holding the goddess statue.
An airship and a water dragon were chasing each other on the rolling waves.
‘First of all joining.’
After I jumped over to the other side of the wave, I ran out on the surface.
The monsters gathered but ignored them. There was no time to look back.
<Do you think it will work out!>
bang!
It slid down like sliding.
Water cannons passed over her hair. Power enough to make your entire face tingle. If it had been hit directly, it would have completely lost its head.
“That way!”
I pointed to the outskirts of the field.
It was a place where the water surface was calm and turbulent. After hitting the water dragon with several ballistas, the airship moved to the designated location. I also sped up.
“Kieek!”
Merman stabbed a harpoon from under the water.
He grabbed the harpoon with his left hand and pulled it up, causing Merman’s body to rise out of the water.
sereung.
Merman’s body and harpoon were completely cut in two.
I took two leaps and landed on the deck of the airship.
The airship, which had been stationary for a moment, began to move again.
“Did you get the goods?”
“This is it.”
I put down the goddess statue.
“…it’s cool for once.”
Belquist clicked his tongue.
After fixing the goddess statue to the railing with a rope, I looked around the sea area.
If it is an installation type object, the location is important. Because it was a place for defense. I checked Amkena’s control panel.
‘It’s a square field.’
If so, it was best to install it near the vertex.
If you put it in the center, you’ll have to block it on all sides.
[Master, leader of ‘Party 1’, ‘Han (★★★)’ suggests disabling the control. Would you accept?]
Amkena hesitated for a moment, but made up her mind.
[Yes / No]
‘good.’
Maybe it’s because I raised him on my own, he listens well.
“Katio, you drive from now on. Take this airship to the farthest corner of the field. We will set up a statue of the Goddess there.”
“okay.”
Katio quietly entered the cockpit.
The airship began to move at a slightly slower speed than before.
After catching the ballista on the left, I diligently shot an arrow at the water dragon that was chasing me.
[‘Blessing of Destiny’ activated!]
[This monster is physically immune!]
[This monster is physically immune!]
[This monster is physically immune… … .]
It can’t do any damage, but it can slow its pursuit.
I poured the ballista sparingly.
Maybe a minute passed.
Tung!
The prow hit something.
A sign indicating impassability. It was a transparent wall.
I turned to Iolka.
Iolka stepped forward with a firm expression.
A water dragon was approaching meandering in front.
“……you can do it.”
Iolka muttered.
【Inflare! Fuse!】
The hem of Iolka’s dress fluttered.
Right in front of the water dragon, a flame like the sun rose.
[‘Blessing of Destiny’ activated!]
[This monster is immune to magic!]
[This monster is immune to magic!]
[This monster has magic immunity… … .]
Iolka’s magic will drag down the time for a while.
I snatched the goddess statue and went downstairs.
and,
[Goddess statue installation complete!]
[‘Goddess’ Protection’ is activated throughout the field!]
‘Until here, according to the calculation.’
I immediately opened the door to the ship and went in.
I ran up the stairs and moved to the third floor.
[Dimension Summoning Stone activated!]
[Master, it is now possible to deploy the second team.]
[Extend a helping hand to a hero in crisis!]
Amkena moved the screen.
[Select a second team.]
[Designated party – ‘Party 1 (participating)’, ‘Party 2’, ‘Party 3’… … .]
[You have selected ‘Party 2’.]
[Members – ‘Edith (★★★)’, ‘Roderick (★★★)’… … .]
[Do you want to put it on a mission?]
[Yes / No]
I opened the waiting room door.
On top of the red magic circle, the heroes of the 2nd party were being summoned one by one.
“……one.”
Edith came to me.
I nodded and continued.
“I don’t have much time. Listen carefully.”
The basics were explained yesterday.
I informed them of the current situation and what the second generation had to do.
“I’ll protect the statue of the goddess on the boat, right?”
“Yes. Take Freea with you.”
“I will do my best!”
The newcomer of the 2nd party shouted loudly.
I said.
“Go straight to the deck. The ship will be summoned.”
The sailboat statue had already been handed over to Jenna.
[Teeling!]
[‘Jenna (★★★)’ used the ‘Sailboat Statue of the Great Sea’.]
[A ‘medium-sized sailboat for combat’ will be summoned!]
‘He treats me well.’
You seem to have figured out how to use it.
The 2nd party left the waiting area.
[Select a second team.]
[Designated party – ‘Party 1 (in the field)’, ‘Party 2 (in the field)’, ‘Party 3’… … .]
[You have selected ‘Party 3’.]
[Members – ‘Kishasha (★★★★)’, ‘Lakari (★★★)’… … .]
[Do you want to put it on a mission?]
[Yes / No]
3 parties were put in.
“……This body hates water.”
Everyone’s face is not good.
Kishasha sighed and came closer to me.
“The human woman told me about the situation. Let’s go straight away.”
“request.”
“I will leave this battle to you.”
The prisoners left the waiting area.
The summoning message followed. It was a 4th and 5th party.
I saw a face I didn’t even know. It seemed newly filled.
“Forgive me for being late.”
Finally, Nerissa walked out.
“I’m sorry. Hurry up.”
“yes.”
I left the waiting room with Nerissa.
Run up the stairs again to the deck.
‘… … indeed.’
Beside the airship, a wooden ship that could easily exceed 10m swayed.
A small bridge is installed between the two boats. Under Edith’s direction, heroes from other groups were being transferred. Freea was also there.
“Farmer man, do your best this time too!”
Lyman clenched his fist at me and disappeared inside the sailboat.
“Boarding is over!”
profit.
The sailboat started to move forward, leaving behind the statue of the Goddess.
[caution!]
[Manual operation of the airship has become impossible!]
“Iolka, stop.”
“……Ugh!”
Jenna received Iolka, who staggered back.
“are you okay?”
“Uh, somehow.”
Jenna took out the blue potion and brought it to Iolka’s mouth.
Clap clack.
<Quaaaaaa! These guys!>
bang!
The water dragon jumped up tens of meters along with the water column.
[Ktaat casts ‘Water Pressure Cannon’!]
Blue energy gathered from the guy’s mouth.
However, this time the target was not an airship.
“This much…!”
simplicity and honesty!
Although the mast in the middle of the deck was broken, the sailboat escaped the water cannons.
“We move too.”
I took out a small cylinder from the pouch on my belt and lifted it.
I approached the statue of the goddess shaking on the water. There was a hole near her buttock.
‘… … .’
clap.
It fit perfectly.
[The ‘Oxygen Supply Device’ is activated!]
“Are you fighting back now?”
“yes.”
I unzipped my pockets.
In a small glass vial, there is a translucent white liquid.
A total of five bottles. These were the tears of a mermaid.
“Drink.”
I opened my share of the bottle and drank it without hesitation.
[‘Han(★★★)’ has the ‘mermaid’s blessing’!]
[The effect of the oxygen replenishment device is activated. Duration increases infinitely!]
[To ‘Jena(★★★)’… … .]
[To ‘Iolka (★★★)’… … .]
I looked back at Katio.
“Take the airship to the middle of the field.”
We had to get as far away from the defensive side as possible.
“If we go underwater, wait on the water.”
“okay.”
The airship shook slightly.
[The ‘Capitalism”s high-speed navigation device is activated!]
Kwaaang!
The airship was shot out, spraying raging water bubbles.
<Don’t miss it!>
“Okay, follow me quietly.”
oh oh oh oh!
[‘God Dragon Ktaat’ roars.]
[The ‘power of receiving’ is gathering!]
[Monster Wave!]
[Man-eating Shark Lv.33] X 105
[Merman Lv.37] X 80
[Cub Water Dragon Lv.34] X 53
[Growth Water Dragon Lv.39] X 74
[Kraken Lv.41]
‘also.’
Monsters began to gather from all over the field.
The goal is the direction where the statue of the Goddess was installed.
<It’s okay, Han. not like last time I will definitely stop it.>
I heard Edith’s voice.
I said with a smile.
“I’ll believe you.”
<Yes.>
I put my hand over my ear.
You won’t need to communicate any more.
The airship reached the middle of the sea area.
Koo Goo Goo!
Water dragons were following them, spraying water from side to side.
“Are you ready?”
“yes.”
“of course!”
“Of course.”
“It’s done.”
I nodded.
“Wait, take this.”
I accepted the object Katio threw.
small glass bottle. It has a white liquid inside.
“Mermaid’s tears. I made this because I had the ingredients. I only have one bottle.”
Is it for reserve?
I don’t think there’s anything to write about.
I put the potion in the pouch.
“let’s go.”
with a plop!
jumped into the water
In the bubbling water, the water dragon’s red eyes were shining.
I spread my palms. It was a hand signal to hold formation.
Belquist and I are in the front, Lieutenants are Nerissa and Jenna, and Iolka is in the rear.
I took a deep breath.
Sweet air filled my lungs.
‘Let’s start.’
sereung.
I pulled out the bifrost.
Then he kicked to the left and advanced.
The water dragon’s forepaw swung.
‘Prevent it from the front.’
Iolka’s chanting had already begun.
That’s why, the water dragon couldn’t be calmly sent away. I grabbed the hilt of the sword with all my might and raised it to cut it.
thud!
Claws and blades collided.
There was a heavy sound, and the body bounced backwards.
In the meantime, Belquist pierced the sword between the water dragon’s scales.
Red blood splattered from the cracks in the scales.
‘It takes damage.’
everything was as expected.
I block his charge first, Belquist second, Nerissa next, and finally Jenna the water dragon. and meanwhile,
【… … !]
Sparks flew from Iolka’s eyes.
Bubbles bubbled up near the water dragon’s chest.
Whoops!
A flame rose.
Clots of blood and flesh scattered in the water.
Whoo oh oh oh!
The water dragon wriggled.
I spread two fingers.
power attack. Belquist pushed me from behind.
gained momentum and moved on. I threw a sword at the nape of the guy who was procrastinating like an earthworm. Then Jenna fired an arrow, and Nerissa drew her crossbow.
<Quaaaaa!>
The guy struggled violently.
The seawater roared and pushed me away, but I got used to it with practice.
It went against the current of the water.
‘it is not diffcult.’
If you can know in advance which boss will appear, it may be easier than other floors.
[Ktaat casts ‘Triple Water Pressure’!]
Blue magic power gathered in the water dragon’s mouth.
The target is Iolka, who is preparing magic. I quickly turned back.
After inhaling a lot of oxygen, I gathered strength in my whole body.
Bang!
Pressure cannons were fired in the water.
I put my sword face forward. He bounced off dozens of meters, but was able to block the first hydraulic gun.
The second was blocked by Belquist, and the third was blocked by Nerissa and Jenna’s cooperation.
【… … !]
Whoops!
The tail of the water dragon was cut off with the explosion.
Did Joon miss? It was clear that he was hurt though.
I passed by cutting off the fins on his torso.
‘I’ll dry it like this and kill it.’
The first magic hit properly.
Before he comes to his senses, he rushes to finish it all at once.
Once you retrieve the key, the mission is over.
I passed him and approached the surface.
Another party was struggling against monsters. As Edith promised, there is no particular crisis. The third party, who were said to suffer from seasickness, was also active on board.
‘All I have to do is like this.’
After diving deep into the water again, I approached the water dragon.
The guy was silent with his long body curled up.
‘… … ?’
What are you doing?
Iolka was casting a spell.
If left alone, it could cause fatal injuries.
【… … !]
Iolka’s third fire magic.
No explosion occurred this time. Instead, the water dragon’s chest swelled up. A fire was burning inside her body.
The water dragon climbed to the surface.
I followed with my sword in hand.
If you run away, you will only finish it.
bang!
Sprinkling a column of water, he jumped up.
The water dragon’s jaws opened up and down.
[Ktaat casts ‘Water Pressure Cannon’!]
‘A water pressure cannon?’
This… … !
I gritted my teeth.
“Edith!”
<Han?>
“Turn the bow, now!”
<A water cannon can avoid it… … .>
The flames spewing from the water dragon’s mouth grazed the side of the ship far away.
Fire.
‘… … under.’
