Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter]

“no. We have seen Jing Geng Geng’s transformation many times. It is possible to completely transform into the animal, but it is only a whisper. From what I’ve seen, there won’t be a Polymorph skill that feels like a bright red goat walking around on two legs. That would be better…”

At least it’s not a skill that transforms you into an animal.

“Strengthening… wouldn’t it be closer to the feeling of strengthening one’s body into the form of an animal? Putting it on your body…? Possession?”

Rather, Leeha was approaching it with the concept of possessing the animal’s energy into one’s body.

Other users also gulped and swallowed their saliva at the rather creepy explanation.

“it’s a shame! “It would have been nice to see what those red goats were fighting with.”

“It would have been impossible even for Leeha if he had noticed my magic. An immediate return would have been the right answer. “Even with most magic power detection, we wouldn’t have been able to catch it, hmm… Did they really nullify the invisibility?”

Although Ki-jeong was disappointed, Bailipus praised Lee Ha’s judgment and at the same time questioned the mana of the unknown guys.

I wasn’t sure about that much either.

“Transparency will not be invalidated. If they had lifted the spell and seen me, they would have said something like, “Who are you?” He just sensed me, there was something invisible here. There is definitely something… I said it with this feeling.”

“So you sensed my invisibility magic through instinct?”

Baylipus only tilted his head.

The Ancient Dragon was close to the sum total of knowledge about the Old World, but the New World was an unknown world even to him.

I could tell just by the fact that he didn’t give any more hints even though this much keyword came up.

“Is that really all, Mr. Leeha?”

“What? “What do you think I’m hiding?”

“No, you never know. Why are you being so harsh? “I was just asking.”

Chiyo grinned. While looking at her face, Lee Ha suddenly saw Shin Nara standing behind Chiyo.

Shin Nara made eye contact with Lee Ha for a moment, but then quickly averted his gaze.

‘Mrs. Nara…’

Lee Ha still felt frustrated by Shin Nara’s unknown behavior, but couldn’t say anything at this point.

Rather, there was someone else who stepped forward for the following.

“There is nothing to doubt about Leeha’s remarks, Chiyo. “Now is the time for us to put our heads together, so I hope you will refrain from saying such things.”

“I know, I know. Hehe, it looks like our Mr. Rubini really liked Mr. Lee Ha.”

“W-what are you talking about-”

“Don’t you think so, Mrs. Nara?”

And Chiyo was waiting for that moment. When Roubini steps up for Leeha. When two people seem even a little closer.

‘He’s a person I really don’t like. Do you think Nara would say anything just because Ji said that? The identity of whether it is an enemy outside the class or not has not been revealed yet, but even if not, I have no affection for you, Chiyo-‘ Leeha was

shocked to see Chiyo asking for Shin Nara’s opinion.

When you think that it is absolutely nonsense and that you are doing something that only deserves criticism.

“what. If they like it, they can do it. “My mission is to arrive safely in the New Continent, so please focus on that for now, Chiyo.”

The country opened its mouth. Chiyo had to barely hide her smile and Leeha had to barely swallow her surprise.

“Mrs. Nara?”

“Yes, yes, of course. “Then what should I do?”

“Now, wait a minute – Mrs. Nara –”

“Buhihihi! Is there anything special? “Have you forgotten how we got here?”

Lee Ha tried to capture Xin, but Xin took a step back.

As Pitre spoke while clicking his fingernails, the mood in the audience changed again in an instant.

There wasn’t enough time right now to even whisper. This is because Fernand solved the thoughts he had been thinking about all along while listening to Pitre’s positive opinions.

“Leeha, you said the boat was small, right? “Is there a lot of people on board?”

“yes? Ah yes.”

“…What about food?”

“food?”

“yes. All twenty-two ships have a lot of people and are small ships with only two masts. If there were even oarsmen, the actual number of people on board would be higher. They said they were smaller than humans, but if they were like sub-human NPCs, they would definitely eat food… Could it have been possible to carry a lot of food?”

“No, that would have been difficult.”

If a lot of food had been stored in the cabin below the deck, there would have been a space underneath for the oarsmen to ride. Fernand was indeed a born adventurer.

“Yes. That should be it. “Then the answer has been found.”

“What are you thinking, Fernand?”

Alexander asked, looking at him nodding.

“The New World is closer than expected. We came quickly. It won’t take a week. I think it will be within 4 days at most. Mr. Lee Ha said that the small boat was faster than expected, but in any case, due to the nature of the ocean, it would not be possible to go out to sea in a small boat.”

“…I guess I’ll have to move at night.”

“yes. carefully. “By using all of our scouting abilities, including Chiyo and Rubini’s guidance, Jing Geng Geng’s transformation, Yong Yong’s pet, Elmi’s summons, and Hai Ha’s eyes.”

This means that we should anchor somewhere in the New World to avoid their eyes.

In other words, it meant achieving the second requirement of the New World quest and, in fact, the minimum condition for success.

“All but the minimum number of ship operators must log out and rest. After logging in with all of the logout rotation members—”

Alexander’s command was quick. There were about 30 hours left in Middle Earth time until the users who had left were able to log in.

“―Entering the New Continent.”

About 6 hours later in real time, the final voyage to dock at the New World was about to begin.

***

A brief rest and reorganization.

It was enough time for users to relax. The sweet time passed, and by the time everyone finished logging in, the New-Serpent and the Marlin had already turned and retreated several hours away.

They might have already gone back anyway.

Even if you were there, you wouldn’t be able to see this far, but you still needed to be careful.

‘These guys are capable of detecting the dragon’s invisibility magic, so I need to be a little more careful. Due to the nature of the ship, they will not conduct long-distance reconnaissance, but still…’

It is highly likely that they have never had a ship come from beyond ‘this sea’ so far.

but now?

If you felt the presence of the following, it is more reasonable to think that you would be making an effort to confirm it.

The common opinion of the New World expedition members was that if there was even a 1% risk, they should be cautious at all costs.

“The sun is going to set soon.”

“So far, we have not found any danger anywhere, in the water or in the air. I guess I have to say that they haven’t noticed us yet. Hi, how about the mast?”

“There’s nothing to see here either. “I think we can prepare soon.”

The sun was already entering the sea in the west.

Hearing the shouts below, Fernand and Kraven’s users began a final check of the weather and direction.

“The wind is just right, but it’s a shame we don’t have Captain Drake. “If I had the blue nullification skill, I could increase my speed by more than three times.”

“You should consider yourself fortunate just to have acceleration. In any case, you must use all your skills sparingly.”

Fernand guessed that it would take about four days at normal navigation speed to dock at the New World.

However, the time given until the sun rises again is about 12 hours.

Even if you use all your skills, you won’t be able to get there.

The general consensus is that no matter how hard you try, it takes two days. Therefore, create as much distance as possible before the sun rises, and strengthen the perimeter even more after the sun rises.

And when the sun set again, the concerted plan was to make a final spurt and dock at the New Continent.

“Adjustment of the bow direction to the far east is complete! Now all we have to do is speed it up.”

Fernand reported to Alexander with a flushed face.

The New World expedition leader nodded and met the eyes of the gathered users one by one.

“It’s the last time. “You don’t have to be afraid because I have you.”

The power of the #1 ranked assertion!

However, users now know that it is not just a bluff.

If you get this close, in the worst case scenario, you can only reach Alexander and Baylippus!

In other words, you have purchased insurance to avoid quest failure.

Of course, not a single user wanted a situation where everyone was wiped out and only narrowly avoided quest failure.

Most of the briefings for unexpected situations that may occur in the future have already been created based on each experience, and the responses and scenarios for each situation have also been familiarized.

There is no need to hesitate any longer.

“let’s go.”

So Alexander’s words were simple.

There was no response from the members of the New World expedition. Because they don’t want their shouts to reach their ears.

There was some excitement, but with even more coolness, the players returned to the ship they had originally been assigned to.

All the sails began to puff up in the wind.

It was when the sun was just sinking into the sea.

“< Acceleration >.”

“Let’s go, < acceleration >!”

Two huge ships suddenly began to speed up in the dark sea.

***

It was extremely quiet on board the ship moving through the darkness.

Druids, pets, summons, etc. had already spread out here and there and were conducting a thorough reconnaissance, so even though there was no way the enemy would be in the area where the voice could be heard, no one said a word.

‘Even if it was known, it wouldn’t show up this quickly… but it’s so quiet that I feel anxious for no reason.’

Chuaaaaaa, chuaaaa—─────!

As it split the sea, a red light flashed on the deck.

Roubini used his area mapping skills to reveal a huge map.

A peaceful sea area where there is no seawater visible to the eye or on the map.

Lee Leeha was happy about that, but also worried.

‘Seawater is what makes sailing really difficult. That’s why they designated the area just before the point where the seawater comes out of Kraven as their territorial waters.’

In other words, the reason sea water is not coming out right now may be because the new continent is really close.

First is the issue of water depth.

The assumption is that the depth of coastal waters is a problem because seawater is active.

Second is the problem of salt concentration.

Although the sea flows, the difference between the nearshore sea and the deep sea is clear.

Therefore, it can be assumed that it is active only in places near the center of the ocean, and that sea water does not come out in coastal waters adjacent to continents.

And the third and final one….

‘…killed all the sea water that those guys came out of.’

It’s a monster anyway. It would be natural for it to be regenerated after a certain period of time, but the possibility of ‘such a setting’ could not be ruled out.

Although the ship was small, its movement ability based on turning ability must be considered smoother than this one, and it is unreasonable to assume that such a setting would be the case with ships of that size and the threatening appearance of the red goats that Lee and I felt were correct. There was none.

‘Because it had a significant presence…’
