Episode 417. Departure (1)
Gigant Dalos.
Among the sea king species inhabiting the Tower of Trials, he is one of the largest in ten fingers.
Is it like a huge moving island?
When you meet him for the first time, you have no idea how to deal with him.
The area where such an outrageous monster appears…
…was marked right on the way to the pirate island.
[Estimated level 170 Size 72m (large species) All stats increase by 20% when fighting in the sea.]
“Are you saying you’re going here on purpose?”
Chun Yoo-seong muttered as if it were absurd.
I’ve never fought it myself, but according to the information written on the map, it’s the kind you should never face.
Even on this floor, isn’t there a penalty that reduces all stats if the player falls into the sea?
The terrain conditions that were advantageous to the opponent but unfavorable to the other side were a fatal factor in battle.
However, Jinhyeok acted the other way as if it was not a big deal.
“It’s dangerous, but it’s okay if you do it well. Besides, what are you worried about? We have strong reinforcements?”
There are dozens of ships still following them.
Except for a few, it means that even though most of them are improvised 4-star ships or less, the number is hard to ignore.
“As bait… to use.”
“Keuheum. Bait. Anyone who sees it will think I’m a bad guy. I just wanted help, huh? We can smoothly enter the island.”
“That’s the bait. Shit. Somehow, he gave in too meekly…”
Chun Yoo-seong’s expression darkened once more after clicking his tongue.
“Could it be that the notarization I wrote at that time was also a fraud?”
“Ah. How strong is that binding force? How can I cheat?”
“Well, no matter how trash you are…”
“I don’t know if you break the contents of the contract. As long as you put it into practice, you will definitely keep your promise.”
“…!?”
The thought of no way crossed my mind.
Chun Yoo-seong hurriedly took out the notarization that he had distributed to everyone. [The ship of the deceased corporation will be at the forefront, and if everyone arrives at the pirate island safely and wipes out the pirates, all rewards from that result will be
distributed according to the number of participating guilds.] [Penalty for non-compliance: 10 million coins
]
It was only after that that I could feel a strange sense of incongruity in what was written.
Chun Yuseong pressed his temple with his index finger.
“…everyone was swept away by the mood… they got it right.”
What is written in the notarization is clearly as follows.
There is a provision that the treasure will be distributed if everyone arrives ‘safely’ on the pirate island.
“In other words, if you can’t reach the island, you don’t have to distribute the reward.”
Jinhyeok took the back story instead.
It was all arranged for this purpose that he deliberately put himself in a position of losing money in the first place.
Get away from Gigant Talos safely, arrive at the pirate island, and achieve your goal…
…at the end, you just have to deal with Gigant Talos, who has lost his strength from dealing with the guilds.
No matter how hard the players rushed, it was close to impossible to deal with Giganttalos in the sea, so there was no need to worry about losing the last hit.
Chun Yoo-seong opened his mouth as if trying to say something.
But it didn’t come out of my mouth.
It was because he knew better than anyone else that even if he cursed or criticized, even the seed would not be eaten anyway.
“Heh. You’re like Jim’s contractor. Originally, noble people don’t care about lowly things.”
Only Ellis showed a proud face and did not hold back his praises.
however.
Kurung… Rumble!
There was a faint sound of thunder and sound in the distance outside the window.
It’s not like a storm is coming.
Because the thunder ended with just one strike.
In addition, the lightning that struck afterwards was reddish.
“…”
Jinhyeok bit his lip while looking in the direction where the lightning struck.
* * *
About three hours have passed since we started sailing.
The ‘Gandhara’ guild, which was located at the rear of the fleet, was maintaining its course a little further out than the other ships.
“There’s no way he did this with good intentions.”
Nirasha’s voice sank coldly.
I didn’t know what kind of plan he had, so I kept quiet for now, but if things go on like this, I’m sure something will happen that will put me in the back of my head.
And it wasn’t far from knowing the answer.
It was then.
rattle!
The door slammed open and the two entered the cabin.
“Nirasha-sama!”
Irun and Chandra.
They were rankers belonging to the Gandhara guild.
“Through the relic, we found out what he was up to!”
The holy relic ‘Shining Stone’ received from the deities of ‘Thousands of Ages’.
They had the power to glimpse one of the dangers of the future by performing a ritual sacrifice of the heart.
I couldn’t use it often because there were a lot of restrictions, but isn’t it a hidden card prepared for use in this case?
“Tell me.”
Nirasha jumped up from her seat.
“A huge sea dragon lies asleep on our way.”
“A sea dragon?”
“Yes. A large species… It’s also a guy with incredibly strong magical powers.”
“I think it should be regarded as a new beast or a redemption class. If I went without thinking, the entire fleet would have been destroyed.”
“…Ha! Have you seen this snarky guy?”
Nirisha’s face twisted violently.
Now all the ships were following the ship of the deceased corporation at a certain distance.
If a dangerous situation arises, it was with the intention of coping with it while watching from behind.
But that was exactly what he was aiming for.
On the outside, he played all kinds of heroic games, but behind the scenes, he must have planned to escape alone.
“Oh, you saw us as idiots.”
The thought of wanting to kill this rotten bastard right now came to the top of my head. But I couldn’t.
It was because, in the process of asking the source of the information, if it was revealed that he had used the heart sacrifice ceremony, he would be criticized no different from the demons.
‘Rather… I’d rather pretend to follow his plan and use it in reverse.’
This is not the time to follow slowly.
We have to catch up to the place where the dead person corporation is located.
I didn’t know what kind of prank to wake the sea dragon, but at least if it was nearby, there would be a way out.
“Right Now…!”
Nirasha’s order was not yet finished.
Kwaaang!
A huge spray of water gushed over the surface of the water.
“Goooooo!”
It feels like my eardrum is about to tear.
Covering the moon floating in the night sky.
The divine beast beyond imagination revealed its majesty.
The sea dragon ‘Giganttalos’.
This is the master who controls the Great Sea.
* * *
“Aaagh!”
“It’s a large monster!”
“Evade immediately. Slow down and turn to the side!”
In an instant, the combined fleet fell into an abysmal situation.
It was embarrassing to see a large bell pop out of nowhere.
In particular, the biggest reason was that the premise that the deceased person corporation would be the first to come under attack was shaken.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
When Giganttalos ran amok, 5 ships were blown apart.
It was a blow that I couldn’t even avoid or block.
Fortunately, Giganttalos only recognized objects larger than a certain size as enemies, so no players died.
Of course, those who fell into the sea could no longer act as combatants.
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuwuu, night fishing is dangerous. When I tried to catch a tuna or something, all sorts of things popped out.”
Jinhyeok pulled out the magic crystal hanging from the fishing line.
thick and
A foul smell stung my nostrils.
Soaking it for 8 hours in water full of magi made it very fragrant.
There was nothing he did to wake Giganttalos.
“Mosquito…! Mosquito!”
Even the sweet potato was fed up with the half-melted magic crystal.
“This is enough to make time, so shall we get out quickly?”
If you say, “I had to go to the island alone for the sake of a cause…” that would be a good enough excuse later.
The enemy guild’s Oh Ji-won stayed behind and decided to do everything possible to prevent deaths, so a minimum safety net was also prepared.
It was then.
Boooooong…
I wondered if I could hear the sound of cutting the wind…
Kwakwakwaang!
The side of the White Pearl was engulfed in flames.
It was a magic attack powerful enough to destroy all the drones attached as escorts.
“Brother! Gandhara guild suddenly attacked!”
“Kueug. Are those guys crazy!”
Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa shouted.
As they said, the 17 ships of the Gandhara Guild were closing in on the distance at an incredibly fast pace.
Concentrating firepower and pouring all kinds of bombs is a bonus.
‘Hoo. Look at these?’
Jinhyeok’s eyebrows curled into a reverse shape.
The fact that they attacked means that they noticed the sea dragon decoy operation.
however.
‘I bet no one knows where the sea dragon is sleeping…?’
Alluti, who manages this place, only knows about the existence of sea dragons.
The exact location was not known.
But how…?
“I will kill you!”
Since they are shouting like that, it is pointless to look for the reason now.
Because I had a strong will to kill.
17 5-star ships and 1 8-star ship.
The difference in performance of the ship itself was overwhelming, but if you stick to it with the determination to throw away more than half, the situation will become unpredictable.
That is, if we only fight in this state.
Cuckoo coo!
By the time Nirasha was right in front of you.
Another ship rushed in from the side.
A ship specialized for sinking opponents by sharpening the front part.
The small but swift assault ship rammed into Nirasha’s flank.
Kwaaang!
A sharp shot rang out.
“Keuugh! What is this again!”
“Kick Kick Kick!”
“It’s a battle. It’s a battle. Can I kill everyone? Huh? Can I kill everyone?”
A voice soaked in madness stimulated the hairs all over her body.
“You guys…?”
Nirasha’s pupils shook greatly.
there’s no way you wouldn’t know
How could I not know?
A ranker who enjoys tearing apart and killing creatures rather than climbing a tower.
Surprisingly, it was not well known to the general public because it stayed on one floor for so long, but there was no one among the top players who had not heard of the crazy twins.
Casey and Jude Law.
blonde pleasure killer
“Hehe. Who has the prettiest hair? That man? Or that oppa?”
Casey leaped toward Nirasha’s ship, holding a giant helbird.
It fell in the middle of enemy lines as if it didn’t care about numbers.
Kwajik!
A red mist of blood.
The expression ‘to be split in half and die’ must be said for a time like this.
Casey literally started slaughtering the players on deck.
“Quaaaaa!”
“Mmm, you bastards! I haven’t seen them for a while saying they’re going to exterminate the Hobgoblin race.”
“Kill them right away! You shouldn’t even let that guy join you.”
We have to finish it somehow when only one has arrived.
It is known that the synergy of two people together is difficult even for top rankers to handle.
But
it is already too late. The damage was greater than that caused by Gigant Talos.
”
Damn it!”
At
this point, Nirasha had no choice but to admit.
Dealing with these two leeches and chasing Jinhyuk was impossible It’s work. Besides, I missed the timing to escape
and was trapped in the realm of Gigant Talos .
I’ll be back before it’s too late.”
Jinhyeok waved his hand at Nirasha.
“I will kill you. I will kill you by chewing you alive!”
Nirasha’s angry screams echoed along the sea.
