Episode 70
70. Episode 70
– Predated ‘Darakan, Tyrant of the Angry Sea’.
– Absorbs nutrients and increases all abilities by 10.
Before jumping off the cliff, Seun used the power of gluttony on Darakan without fail.
Drake was originally a dragon, but he could not absorb mana because he could not handle mana. However, he was able to raise all his abilities by 10, for a total of 40 abilities.
‘No matter how I think about it, it’s a scam.’
If we look at it simply by level, it was an ability increase equivalent to leveling up by 13 at once.
To raise such abilities in this way was truly a power worthy of the Demon God.
In addition, thanks to the power of greed, your fighting power also increases rapidly, making it easier to catch monsters.
Thanks to the synergy of the two powers, Seun was now much stronger than the lower class people of the tower.
Perhaps, even after entering the tower, you will still be able to climb to the lower areas without any obstructions.
-Constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’ savors the meal, saying that although the depth of flavor is a bit lacking, the texture is excellent because the meat is chewy.
Beelzebub also seemed to like drake meat.
He’s been complaining a lot lately because he hasn’t been using his powers properly, but the fifth chapter has given him enough food to make the table bend, so he’ll be quiet for a while.
with a plop!
Maybe it was because the cliff was high, or maybe it was because my thoughts were long. After the fall that felt longer than expected, cold waves washed over my skin.
My skin, which had been flushed from fighting Darakan, cools down and a chill spreads through my body.
The problem, more than anything, was breathing.
As he fell from the high cliff, Seun fell deep into the sea and was quickly moving away from the surface.
As the water pressure increased, my lungs began to feel pressure and the air I had stored inside wanted to escape.
‘I would never have survived this even if there had been a guidepost for the journey.’
Se-Woon, who was recalling his appearance before his regression, smiled briefly and released the power of greed.
-The Treasure Trove of Greed has been opened.
[ Mermaid’s Gills ]
– A monster with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a fish with a tail. It is said that many legends were created because of its beautiful appearance.
Snap!
Ugh.
A crack appeared at the base of Se-un’s neck. Three threads appeared on either side of his neck, and the hole gradually grew larger.
“Ugh.”
Only after feeling his neck with his hand and confirming the presence of gills did Seun take a careful breath.
Then, seawater began to flow in through the gaping gills, and a cool sense of satisfaction seeped into my chest.
“Hoooo… … .”
It’s a success.
The moment I confirmed that there were gills in Mammon’s treasure trove, I thought it might be possible.
Indeed, Mammon’s treasure.
Is it possible for a human body to breathe in the ocean?
It was an ability that was absolutely unrivaled even when compared to the power of gluttony.
-The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’, is offended by the comparison of his treasure to a pig.
– The constellation, the ‘hungry prince’, drools and asks where the pig is, asking for some for himself.
-The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’, shakes its head.
– The constellation, the ‘hungry prince’, makes a dignified expression and asks to share some for himself right away, asking if he wants to eat the delicious pig all by himself.
Seun ignored the conversation between the two constellations and observed the depth of the sea.
‘First, we need to decide on a direction… … .’
If it was before the regression, it would have been enough to just follow the ‘Journey’s Guide’, but unfortunately, Se-Woon now did not have such a skill.
I searched Mammon’s treasure trove, but there was no good treasure that could guide me to the Demon God.
Meanwhile.
Shhhhhhh-
“Gulp, gurgle.”
“Shit-”
Hundreds of monsters were moving forward, passing the still Seun.
Normally, most of these monsters would be defeated before the boss monster is defeated.
Thanks to Seun coming all the way to the cliff and defeating the boss monster, the number of monsters that survived was higher than expected.
However, they did not attack Seun.
They treat it like air. No, like the sea, and they are busy going their own way. It was as if there was a ‘path’ that only Se-woon could not see.
‘Then, I should follow you.’
Instinctively, I could tell that wherever they moved, there was something.
* * *
“Master Shax. The tutorial just ended.”
“Already? I thought it’d only been a few hours since Darakan went up.”
“A few players have reported successful hunts before Darakan arrives at the castle.”
“It’s strange. Even though he lost his mind because he couldn’t handle the power, he is still someone who has inherited the energy of the deep sea.”
The outskirts of the tower.
The end of the sea that was created when the land where the tutorial was taking place collapsed.
Deep in the sea, two fishmen were having a conversation.
The one kneeling had a hard shell like a crayfish covering its entire body, and the fishman called Sharks looking down at it had shiny shark fins on his back and wrists and impressive teeth as sharp as saw blades.
“Then, there must be quite a few survivors.”
“They say that nearly half of them survived.”
“Half… … . This is becoming difficult.”
“If we leave it as is, the reproduction rate will go out of control, so I think it would be better to clean it up within a few days.”
“Know.”
The shark-shaped fishman was lost in thought.
Originally, most monsters that survived the tutorial were only a few hundred at most.
Because it was that difficult for players in the tutorial to deal with sea monsters.
But, almost half of the monsters survived?
‘Has anything like this ever happened in the history of tutorials?’
There were many times when I finished the tutorial quickly. Among the players, there were monsters that were already different from the others from the moment they entered.
However, it was extremely rare for a tutorial to be completed this quickly.
‘It’s the first time since that woman.’
A fishman with the appearance of a shark conjured up the image of a woman.
A woman who had human form but wielded the power of a dragon.
It’s been decades since I met her, so she’s probably pretty high up in the tower by now.
As he was reminiscing, several fish that resembled sardines swam quickly behind him and reported something to the fishman wearing a shell.
The expression on the face of the fisherman who heard the report shifted for a moment.
“What’s going on?”
“They say a human has entered the mix among the monsters.”
“Human? What’s the problem? Perhaps he got mixed up in the fleeing fish and fell into the water.”
“I thought so too. They say humans are following the fish.”
“If you’re a human, wouldn’t it be impossible to even breathe underwater?”
“According to the report, humans have gills on their necks.”
“Gills? No way.”
Humans are a very weak and fragile race. They have weaker physical abilities than orcs, and they cannot fly or breathe underwater.
Even its lifespan is known to be less than 100 years.
But, is that why? They have left behind more achievements than any other race.
It’s like a match that burns fiercely for a moment and then disappears.
As evidence, it was known that about half of the tower’s rankers were humans.
“Do you know his true identity?”
“Is that possible? … … However, I think we need to check.”
“That’s right. We have to clean up those guys anyway, so let’s get started right now.”
“All right.”
At the order of the fishman wearing a shell, those kneeling below quickly prepared for battle.
For safety’s sake, and for the next tutorial, we need to control the fish population.
The eyes of the fishermen preparing for battle looked more determined than usual.
Even in recent decades, there have rarely been instances in which the number of enemies has been this large.
After they finished arming themselves and formed their formation, a shark-shaped fishman stood at the very front, holding a two-pronged spear and raising it high.
“Advance.”
chuck!
The forces under the sea moved their bodies.
In the meantime.
‘Human. It’s been a long time since I’ve encountered an intelligent being on Earth.’
A fishman in the shape of a shark. He suppressed his anxious feelings as he recalled the building that Sharks had built.
* * *
‘Where on earth are you going?’
Monsters of the tutorial.
I thought they were simply created by the tower’s administrator, but that didn’t seem to be the case. If that were the case, then it would have been normal for them to disappear naturally after the tutorial ended.
The places they move to are probably… … .
‘Treasure trove.’
This must be the hometown where they were born and raised.
I was curious to see how large the sanctuary would be, as it could accommodate so many monsters.
‘Should I check the items?’
Items obtained through the boss monster, Darakan.
Most of them were material items, but there was one piece of equipment that was in the form of an accessory.
Se-Woon took out a blue jewel necklace named ‘Wrath of the Sea’ from his bosom.
[ The Wrath of the Sea ]
Category: Necklace
Grade: A
Description: A jewel created by the absorption and condensation of deep-sea energy by a lower-level dragon species.
Ability: 1. Blessing of the Deep Sea – All abilities increase by 10%.
2. Deep Sea Waves – Water attribute affinity and resistance increase, and restrictions in water are greatly removed.
3. Deep Sea Current – Damage taken from enemies is reduced by 10%.
4. Terror of the Deep – Resistance to fear is greatly increased, and the effectiveness of all abilities that utilize fear is greatly increased.
Indeed, it was such excellent equipment that even rumors about it spread throughout the tower.
You might think that the increase in ability value is smaller than that of other items, considering its grade as an A-class item, but this is only an ‘accessory’.
Unlike equipment that has restrictions on wearing, such as basic weapons and armor, this means that you can wear additional or multiple items at once.
That’s why jewelry items boast tremendous value even if they only increase one ability by 5%.
This is unlikely to happen, but if you put a ring with this ability on all ten fingers, it would boast incredible efficiency.
Than that.
‘It’s scary… … ‘
The equipment made by Go Chang-seok, the stigmata of the Satyr, and the fear of the deep sea attached to the Jewel of Wrath.
It felt like I was gaining a lot of abilities related to fear.
Although he is currently using his powers to the fullest as the subject of fear, Seun before his regression was the opposite.
Prey of fear.
Seun didn’t have any special fighting skills, so he was always struggling to overcome his fear.
Having overcome countless fears, I am probably used to dealing with fear in this life as well.
After finishing the check and putting on the ‘Rage of the Sea’, I looked ahead and saw monsters descending rapidly from a large coral reef.
The ocean currents that could be felt on the skin were also being sucked down, as if they were sucking in the monsters.
Se-Woon carefully moved forward, swinging his legs.
– Discovered the hidden dungeon, ‘Deep Sea Spawning Grounds’.
-You have achieved amazing things.
-You have earned 10,000 points as a reward.
Finally, we were able to discover the monsters’ destination.
