Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter]

It’s quite far from the Kraken, but no matter how fast you run, you won’t be able to avoid its long legs.

In a situation of virtual complete siege, Shivrim prepared for death.

“Hockey kit! The last mermaid! With the death of the last mermaid, all mermaids will be subdued!”

Hakiii────── Hakyuuu─────!

“Come, you impurities! “Your guys… hmm?”

As the fishmen roared in unity and Sibreem prepared to rush towards them, a strange wave was detected on Sibreem’s forehead.

“Hakkyut, everyone, Hakit, charge!”

Scrap, crack!

With the sound of the Shield Lobster’s claws, the fishmen began to rush in. Even as he watched the large army charge, Sibrim could not come to his senses.

“no way…?!”

Mermaids have a longer detection range than fishmen. It was around that time that the ‘wave’ that surprised Sibreem reached the fish people.

“Hockey kit, hot?”

“Q, QQ? This, this-”

If you think about it the other way around, what does it mean that they detected it without a big time gap even though the detection ranges were different?

“Bah, fast Hakit- Fast Haki-”

“Joe, control- Hakit the pilots! hurry! “Hakyuut the pilots!”

This means that the waves are incredibly fast!

The fishmen were embarrassed, as Sibream expected.

What is the coming wave! Why are they so embarrassed?

Looking at that scene, the Haesin Guard Captain wanted to shed tears. The black and white dots approaching beyond were gradually expanding.

“Swald, Hvit.”

The eyes of Drake, a bright blue figure swimming between the Black Serpent and the White Serpent, gracefully wagging its tail, flashed.

“Organize everything.”

Shit- Shaaaaa──────!

As soon as it spotted the two sea snakes, the Kraken was already running away.

As if the serpents had no interest in the big squid anyway, they started devouring the fishmen one by one, biting them, and beating them.

“…You idiot!”

“I’m not back, so don’t get excited, Sibreem. “Let’s get things sorted out first.”

“I understand, I understand. “I understand, master!”

It came back but it didn’t come back. Did Seabream understand what Drake meant? At least, that wasn’t important to the Sea God Guard Captain right now.

Drake ignored the thrilled Seabreem and began hunting the fishmen by shooting a stream of water with his fingertips.

Even though they were countless fishmen, they were unable to block the waves of attacks from Drake, Svald, and Hvit.

This is because even if a fishman master who tamed and guided Kraken or Shield Lobster came, there would not be much chance.

“Ha, Hakit- Serpent doesn’t listen to me Haki-”

“It’s not even funny. How dare you guys covet a serpent!”

“That’s right, master!”

You cannot control the Serpents unless you show the power of the Sea God, which is stronger than Drake, who has proven to be the son of the Sea God.

Of course, the only one who exists is the Sea God!

Siburim, who was excited, also dismantled and separated the fleeing fishmen without hesitation. Not too long had passed, but before we knew it, a school of fish had gathered near Drake and Seabream.

The corpses of fish, excellent food to nourish the marine ecosystem, were spread out as if they were filling the seafloor.

***

Sibreem lightly cut down a fleeing fishman and smiled.

Unless they are determined to attack, if the fishmen turn their backs and run away like this, Siburim could take on even a hundred of them.

“Whew, master! “Now that we’ve sorted things out, uh, where are you going, master?”

Seabream was reporting to Drake with a satisfied expression, but Drake was not interested in that.

He was moving with a Black Serpent and a White Serpent.

“Where are you going?”

“They said the reason why fishmen were born was because of the septic tank.”

“Yes, yes, ah! “Leeha, the ball is there now.”

“hmm.”

As Drake nodded with interest, Seabreem’s expression brightened.

Why did he who said he would not come back even if he cried and begged on the ship, come back and ask this?

“Now… are you returning to the Dragon Palace? Again, back then – did you decide to fulfill your duty as the son of the Sea God?”

Seabreem asked cautiously, but Drake did not answer.

I just increased the speed towards the entrance of the septic tank a little while keeping a watchful eye on the surroundings with the serpents.

“young master…?”

Sibreem called out to Drake once again, but he didn’t respond much. It wasn’t simply because Drake’s personality was quiet.

This was because both Drake and Seabream were NPCs, and there were currently no other users around.

Middle Earth is a game that thoroughly harasses users.

However, one principle was always followed. No matter how difficult or difficult a situation is, it gives you a hint to get out of it.

NPCs exchange conversations such as daily interactions even when there are no users, but when it comes to ‘hints’, they do not communicate unless the user’s presence is confirmed.

In a way, thoroughly harassing users also meant that they were closely observing them.

“I’m sure you will. “I believe that you came to save the Dragon Palace and to restore order in the sea as the successor of the Sea God.”

Therefore, even if Seabreem tries to touch Drake’s emotions by saying this, Drake has no reaction.

The captain of the Sea God Guard, who became talkative, and the son of the Sea God, who became more taciturn, approached the entrance to the septic tank, creating a strange and embarrassing situation.

“When did Leeha come into play?”

“It’s probably been… a little less than an hour.”

“If you had gone with Anderson, you would have almost reached the septic tank.”

Drake’s expression hardened slightly. Shivrim also became serious.

“Is that so? I’ve never actually been to a septic tank, so I couldn’t tell its depth—”

“Do you know where your father is?”

“…I’m sorry, Master. I couldn’t figure out where the sea god was. I tried to get information from a few fishmen, but they also….”

A seabream that is bigger than Drake.

He was solemn when he was with Lee Ha-na and Anderson, but he couldn’t move in front of Drake.

“…I must at least recommend the replacement of the Sea God Guard Captain.”

Drake chuckled at the sight.

This is not Drake, who does not know how much effort Seabream put into it. They were able to say things like this because their memories had already been established and were dense.

“yes yes?! young master?”

“Let me check it myself. My father is probably here-”

…!

“-hmm?”

Shishaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The serpents wriggled and backed away a little. This is because I discovered a red light shining far away in the pitch black darkness of the septic tank.

“Master, I just-”

“I saw it too. It’s red. “There’s nothing like that among the techniques your father uses— huh!?”

──────────────────!

This time even Drake flinched.

The white light that erupted explosively, the enormous amount of light, was enough to clear away all the thick darkness of the septic tank, which required swimming down for more than an hour at the speed of a mermaid.

“W-what kind of light is this….”

“Oh my, my father can’t say Leeha- or… Leeha means my father?!”

For Drake, the former is unfortunate, and the latter is absurd. Whatever it was, it couldn’t be good.

“Let’s go, Sibreem!”

“I understand, master!”

Drake and Seabream began their rapid descent from the entrance to the septic tank. Black Serpent and White Serpent also followed them.

“〈Water Drop Light〉.”

Wow───!

Not even the deep darkness of the septic tank could stop the Drakes. The large water droplets Drake created glowed like electric lights.

“I had no idea it would be this big and this deep.”

“I guess so. “Because my father forbids me from entering this place.”

“That still remains the case.”

“Do you have any other information about septic tank contamination?”

“doesn’t exist. “Except for the fact that fishmen began to appear one day… The sea god seemed to know something, but…”

The mermaids continued to swim down while having a brief conversation about information that had already been revealed. There is light, and there is the son of the sea god.

Above all, they are NPCs.

In other words, there was no significant time delay in descending the deep hole of the septic tank, but it was still similar to the speed at which Andersson descended while holding Leeha.

As Sivrim admired, Anderson’s speed was at the highest level even among mermaids.

Therefore, it took about an hour for them to discover the faint light beyond the darkness.

It was clearly the light coming from the sea god’s crown.

“father!”

“Sea, Sea God! Oh, my king!”

Drake and Seabream quickly approached the sea god, who was lying face down in the water, as if floating in weightlessness.

“Tentacles… And this body.”

The sea god’s changed appearance was such that even his son Drake could not keep his mouth shut.

Shivrim also trembled and checked the sea god’s physical condition.

Regardless of whether he was turned into a fisherman or not, the death of the sea god was something that Siburim could not accept.

“King, my king, are you okay? Oooh, ohhhh!”

“Don’t make a fuss, Sibrim. “My father’s life is okay.”

“How can you be so calm, young man— wow!”

Paaaaa────────────!

Light suddenly erupted from the sea god’s body.

Seabreem retreated in surprise, and Drake prepared a counterattack in case of an unexpected situation, but the situation they feared did not occur.

No, rather, it was a situation they had been looking forward to, knowingly or unknowingly.

“…Unbelievable.”

“The tentacle… disappeared.”

All the tentacles that were wrapped around the sea god’s waist like the hem of a skirt disappeared.

The ridiculously enlarged body was also restored to its original state. Still, it was still bigger than Seaburim.

“No way, Leeha, Gong-”

“Hahahaha! As expected… I need to get this in order.”

Considering that the light on his crown began to gradually become brighter, it was quite predictable what the outcome would be.

Drake smiled as he looked at the darkness beneath his feet that had not yet been fully revealed.

***

‘They said it was a septic tank and this thing… looks like a heart.’

This was Leeha’s first impression after finally reaching the bottom of the sea.

It was emitting a light red light of its own and was moving in a certain rhythm.

Excited, Excited!

It was beating quite fast, like a human heart.

‘The texture is the same. I thought it felt like a hard jewel or something, but ugh. disgusting.’

After floating Blaugrun and Anderson a little away(?), I started taking a walk around the septic tank.

Although it was close in size to a large rock, the septic tank, which had a translucent texture like the head of a sea anemone and even glowed red, did not look very good.

‘iced coffee!? ‘That’s it -‘

As I was walking around the writhing septic tank more than halfway, something strange caught Leeha’s eyes.

It’s stuck in the slippery exterior of the septic tank!

I was able to immediately recognize that it was the ‘pollutant’ that was the removal target of this quest.

‘-hat… That’s right…’

What I thought was the shape of a black fedora was really a black fedora.

A black hat suddenly appears in the deepest place in the ocean, a septic tank where not even mermaids can enter without permission?

Have we really come this far?

As soon as I saw Lee Ha, I was able to think of the owner of the hat.

‘Bluebeard… Is this the one Luger showed me before?’

Something that is both a symbol and a non-symbol.

Lee Ha knew that if there was a shortage, he would always make it and use it.

Even though the hat that Luger found was stored back in the papal palace in Ezwene, he, including Croland, was always seen wearing a hat when he appeared.

‘that’s right. From then on, something felt strange. There’s no way Bluebeard bought a hat at a clothing store.’

So, does mana take the shape of a hat? Lee Ha thought for a moment and shook his head.

Anyway, that’s not important at this point.

“Purg!”

Leeha caught his breath and took out the electric shock gun again.

This is because you cannot know what will happen if you touch it directly.

‘Plumber Ma also hit the boss with a turtle shell or a flame, but he didn’t catch him with his bare hands. Phew, this time there’s no need to use a shield, just-‘

Boom!

Leeha exhaled air bubbles.

I couldn’t hear the voice, but the shape of the mouth was clearly visible.

“Go! ON!”

Just before reaching the cap embedded in the septic tank shell, the switch clicked and went up.
