Episode 420. Pain Pirates (2)
Shoot ah…
The place where the serpents ran amok turned into ruins.
Most of the 40 ships were half-destroyed and barely maintained their shape.
“……Damn it.”
Cops watched the gruesome scene and grinded his teeth.
In the first place, I didn’t put all my energy into it to pass the time.
I couldn’t even imagine that this many ships would be annihilated.
“Missing people… 2546 people, 17 survivors…”
One of his subordinates opened his mouth heavily.
It means that those missing at sea will soon die.
In the end, all but 17 people became the Serpent’s food.
“That’s why I said. He’s annoying.”
Nirasha, who was next to her, clicked her tongue.
“Yeah…you’re definitely cursing. I think I know why you said you wanted to change the drink. Very.”
Quaang!
Cobbs drew his knife and cut through the splinters of wood.
“Kill.”
Quaang!
The knife marks increased on the splintered tree.
“I’ll throw it away! How dare you build my fleet like this? You worm-like bastard. Did you think you could live like this!”
I completely lost my reason.
The sight of the captain running wild on the road made the crew members even stop breathing.
It was because he knew best that if he made a mistake now, his neck would be blown off.
“Where are you?”
“Yes…yes?”
“That bastard, where are you now!”
“Hwa, it has been confirmed that they are anchored on the shore and staying there, but the officers have troops on standby at every corner, so we will be able to catch the tail sooner or later.”
The reason why this island is impregnable is because the island itself has been made into a huge fortress.
Even if the sea was breached, there were plenty of means to kill intruders.
but.
Cobbs decided to use the most devastating of them all.
“Release the corpse-eating hermit crabs to their stomachs.”
I don’t know how confident I was that I came here with that number.
You don’t even have to procrastinate.
I will wipe out all my opponents with this one move.
* * *
Pure white sandy beaches and endless green palm trees. Even clean seawater that can be seen clearly 10m below.
This place had all the conditions for an ideal summer resort.
Only one.
‘Except for this place being a pirate island, it would be really perfect.’
Jinhyeok looked at the roads leading into the island.
The roads that looked natural were actually artificially created results.
‘There are a few places worth poking at, but most of them must be traps.’
If you walk without thinking, you will be trapped in the jungle and withered to death or fall into numerous traps.
“Ohhh! Look at the Contractor. I built the kingdom.”
In the meantime, immature Alice made a castle out of sand.
I just piled up a pile of sand and put twigs in it.
I felt the energy to be praised fiercely.
“I’m a bit busy right now.”
“Look. This is the banquet hall, this is the living room… This is the bedroom, and we put a lot of effort into it. See you soon. Huh? See you soon!”
Busy doesn’t sound like it.
Jinhyeok silently took out a magic crystal and placed it on top of the sand castle.
“What does this… mean? Could it be…?”
An earthquake occurred in Alice’s pupils.
Putting brightly colored jewels on the castle of just the two of them.
A scene from a drama I watched while outside the tower not too long ago passed by.
‘Green Light’.
Undoubtedly. no matter how stupid it is Even if a doggie passing by sees it.
This is a positive signal with a hint of pink.
however.
“mosquito!”
Seeing the magic crystal, Sweet Potato leapt.
The image of the ancient species approaching with great force passed along Elise’s pupils.
The idea of stopping it crept into my head…
but it was too late.
The predatory beast aiming for its prey was much faster than expected.
Fuck!
“Ododog! Mosquito!”
The nest, which took an hour to build, was completely destroyed.
“Kyaaaaa! My kingdom…!”
Elise’s desperate cries filled the shore.
‘good. It should be quiet now.’
Jinhyeok looked at the forest once again and fell into agony.
which way to go you have to decide that
“My lord. If we wait too long, will the enemy know our location and send troops?”
“I agree. I think it’s better to drill somewhere at this time.”
Wolyeong and Chun Yooseong added one word at a time.
I know what you want to say, but…
……The situation is not so easy.
‘If I take the wrong road even once, I could use up all the time I have left.’
In that case, even if it takes time, you have to get the starting point right.
The overall terrain of the island and the disposition of troops. Considering the way the Corps have been fighting so far…
there is only one shortest route.
It’s dangerous, but it’s a length that can pierce the heart of an enemy at once.
“Let’s all move.”
“Have you finally decided?”
“Yes. Taemin and Yeonhwa protect the anchored ship. I’ll finish it as soon as possible and return.”
“I understand. Brother.”
“Did you say that the two of you… could deal with hundreds of people? Well, that’s enough.”
Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa nodded.
“Oh, and. If the pirates don’t attack…”
“Yes. I’ll try to find as much as I can.”
[Thousand-year-old beating] buried somewhere along the coast. The odds are very low, but if you can find it, it will be of great help in defeating the Kraken.
Everyone scattered along the shore with their respective roles assigned.
* * *
Jinhyeok went straight to the outskirts of the seashore.
Soon, sheer cliffs came into view.
“Hoh. It’s a superb view.”
An exclamation flowed from Alice’s mouth.
At first glance, it is an unusual size.
At least 300m seemed good enough.
“Looks like there’s an open road. Are you planning to go in there?”
Chun Yoo-seong snapped his chin toward the center of the cliff.
As the saying goes, there was a large cave that dozens of people could pass through.
“There is only one route that allows you to penetrate the island at once without being seen by pirates.”
“Seeing that you don’t have a bright face even though the conditions are pretty good… That means it’s a damn dangerous road.”
There were no pirates’ nose-bleeding near the entrance.
It wouldn’t make sense for those who know every nook and cranny of the island not to know this.
In the end, it must be proof that this route will not be breached without the use of sentries.
[You have entered the ‘Crystal Cave’.]
Unlike the dark outside, when you went inside, a dazzling light poured in.
True to its name, the ‘Crystal Cave’, the inside was filled with several meters of blue crystals.
chuck!
A scythe with an eyeball stuck in Jinhyeok’s hand appeared.
It was the ‘Scythe of the Ghost Tree’ used by Abigail of the Levicita family.
From here on, you have to use a good mix of melee and magic skills.
It is because of the unique characteristics of the cave dwellers.
“Get ready. They know we’re here, so they’ll come soon.”
With Jinhyeok’s words, the rest prepared for battle.
Alice used ‘Blood Road’, and Chun Yoo-seong and Wol-young used ‘Sword Song’ and ‘Shadow Kill’, respectively.
It was then.
thud! cooong! thud!
Heavy footsteps echoed along the cave.
“It’s fresh food! It looks delicious!”
“I was tired of eating only fishy crabs and bugs. Is this a long-awaited dinner?”
“Ah…I can’t stand it. Where are you? Where are you? Let’s go quickly. Hurry up!”
It was half-human, half-beast monsters that appeared along with the eerie conversation.
An appearance reminiscent of a centaur.
The upper body was human, but the lower body was that of a horse.
What is unusual is that instead of having a head on the neck, it has a mouth with dozens of teeth on the belly.
Also known as ‘Cave Eater’.
The name came from the fact that it will eat anything that enters the cave.
“You’re a bad-looking guy.”
Elise threw a red skewer.
A skewer that easily broke through the speed of sound without a propellant.
Fuck!
A red wire pierced the monster’s chest and plugged into the wall on the other side.
however.
Gulleong! Gulleong! Gulleong!
The wound, which I thought was fatal, began to heal rapidly.
“Ouch! It hurts.”
“It’s a lively prey. It must taste chewy.”
The Cave Eaters raised axes the size of their bodies.
Axes made of blue crystal resonated with the rest of the crystals in the cave.
The color of the instant crystal changed to yellow.
From above…
…below.
The ax fell.
Alice, frowning, made a shield out of blood.
It is because of the idea of attacking on the spot without avoiding it.
But the moment the ax and the shield collided.
“…!?”
Alice’s expression changed dramatically.
Because I felt something strange.
Quadduk!
Cracks began to appear in the shield made with the ‘Blood Lord’.
Normally, this would be nonsensical.
Because it was impossible for monsters on the 29th floor to break through the homeowner’s defense.
Right then.
[The unique ability ‘Triple Magic’ is activated!]
Jinhyeok interrupted.
Three magic squares were created, and magic of different elements was created.
fire, ice and wind.
The magic of three attributes struck the Cave Eater’s body.
“Kuaa!”
The first scream of pain broke out.
“You can’t kill them with a single elemental attack!”
The reason why this place is unique in the first place is all because of that crystal.
Whenever the color of the crystal changes, the attributes common to Cave Eaters also change.
In other words, what kind of attack should be done for each pattern is different.
Usually players have at most 2-3 skills, so this place is bound to be tricky, but…
‘I’m a little different.’
Whether it’s magic, physical, or mental.
Able to deal with any situation.
Dozens of magic squares formed behind Jinhyeok’s back.
The scythe of the ghost tree in the great magic circle with the pentagram drawn on it.
In front of an all-around player, there is no expression of contradiction.
“Only take care of the guys coming from the side. After bumping into each other a few times, you’ll get a sense of when to use each of their abilities.”
Break through at once like this.
Jinhyeok took the lead.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Various magics opened the way.
“Kuaaa!”
“Oh, how do you know all the secrets of the cave!”
“Die, please! Die!”
The Cave Eaters, who were always hunting their prey, couldn’t understand the current situation at all. This
was because Jinhyeok had grasped all the patterns of crystals with over 100 colors.
In addition, he was loaded with conflicting abilities . After using it in the stone pit, the damage to his colleagues grew out of control.
Besides,
the other three also quickly adapted to the crystals. Their
combat sense is not normal.
If they didn’t have the power of the crystals, they would have been annihilated without lasting even 10 minutes.
And the fire dragon peak ….
It was an ancient species that was gathering mana in the rearmost part.
Just in time, the crystals lost their color.
The inside turned dark.
At the same time.
[Sweet Potato activates ‘non-attribute breath’!]
“Mooogii!”
A translucent light I traversed the cave.
Thanks to the perfect timing, the Cave Eaters, which had numbered in a dozen or so, turned to dust and evaporated. I
see…
Sweet potatoes are sweet potatoes.
‘If we go out like this, we will be able to reach our home base within an hour. .’
Jinhyeok drew an overall timeline in his head.
He might have more time than he thought, but this?
It was when he was thinking about that. [A
call
request
has
arrived!]
A series of status windows requiring urgency. Yoo
Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min are on the side.
