Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter] - Chapter 393
[What do you think, Drake? You can’t match my skills, right?! Hahaha! When you drive a boat of the same class, your skills are evident!] As
the Marlin passed the New-Serpent, Burke’s voice was heard cutting through the waves.
“…I really don’t know why you’re acting like that.”
It was a childish provocation that made Lee Ha, who was also from Puviel, feel a little embarrassed.
“I feel sorry for the country. “I wonder how much they are suffering on that ship… The captain and the members are crying that less than half of them are properly functioning…”
Bobae shook his head as he looked at the Marlin a certain distance away.
At some point, no whispers came from Shin Nara, and I could guess just how busy she was running around.
“Compared to that, our captain is like a real captain. Right, bro? “He’s solemn and his clothes are nice.”
Ki-jeong looked at the captain of the New-Serpent, who didn’t even turn his nose at Burke’s childish provocation.
“You have clothes like that, but just give this coat as a gift. petty. “It’s a bit unfortunate that it’s still labeled as [rental].”
“Tsk, that’s right. It’s a shame that I have to return it. Rather— Huh?!”
At that moment, the New-Serpent tilted and increased its speed.
Can a boat accelerate without changing the wind or rowing its oars? Of course, there was only one cause.
[If you want to follow me, follow me.]
Drake used a skill.
“…Cancel saying it’s cool. “What kind of captains are so emotional?”
“That’s right.”
Meanwhile, his attitude of provoking Burke again by using his loudspeaker skills was enough to make Fernand hit his forehead.
The voyage of the New World Expedition, which has even adjusted the logout rotation, has had no problems so far.
As the sunset was about to turn the sea red, you could tell just by looking at the sight of them stretching out here and there, preparing their weapons again.
“They definitely do it like people with a lot of experience.”
These are people who have lived through all the traps of Middle Earth.
No one seemed to have forgotten what Fernand had said around lunchtime about ‘reconnaissance after sunset and guarding the sand bars.’
Fernand exchanged whispers with Alexander and assigned duties to the personnel of each ship.
[Euncheon, the shaman of the New-Serpent, and Rodin, the sculptor of the Marlin. Please install a searchlight function on the bow and main mast of each ship. If possible, please make it something that can last all night.]
Lee Ha was not surprised to hear that he was a sculptor.
‘I said he was a guy who got pretty high in the minis tournament. If a shaman uses a totem, a sculptor creates the effect of a totem with the sculpture he or she creates.’
Not long after Fernand’s instructions were given, huge light sources were installed throughout each ship.
In addition to simple attacks, the specialty of these jobs is that they have utility skills.
Fernand gave the following instructions with a satisfied expression.
[Shift reconnaissance should begin as soon as installation is complete. You will need quite a bit of concentration as you will have to look at the sky as well as the stains in the sea. Druid Jingeonggeong of the New-Serpent, and Tamer Yongyong of the Marlin, please do the first reconnaissance.]
“Indeed. “Is it a tamer over there?”
On the Marlin Lake, a bird that looked like a hawk soared rapidly into the air.
“Kikit, in a way it’s better than what people see. Still, Jingeonggeong, fighting! “You can’t lose!”
Biyemi sat next to Leeha and laughed heartily and shouted.
JingGengGeng was muttering near the key, casting magic.
One of the reasons he, a druid, had joined this expedition was about to be proven.
“Well, the sun will set sooner or later… Polymorph: Nighthawk!”
Shuaaaaaaaa!
The druid chose the nighthawk, a type of nighthawk.
It is good at hiding itself in the dark, and as a nocturnal owl, it has excellent night vision and is a fast-flying bird.
“Ugh, you’re good! Thank you for your hard work, Jing Geng Geng!”
Beep——-!
Jing Geng Geng soared upward, shouting as if responding to I Ha’s cheering.
“We are now out of Kraven’s territorial waters! In addition to aerial reconnaissance, we need to prepare for downward attacks, so each user should check the area around the ship at regular intervals!”
All right!
It was an instant for the sun to set on the sea.
Although the sunset was barely visible, the sun had already gone underwater, and the New World expedition team now had to rely only on artificially created light.
The pitch-black sea, where it was difficult to see even an inch ahead without light, made it impossible to guess the end.
When viewed from the air, it appears as just a white dot waving gently on a pitch-black drawing paper.
Shoot—- Shoot—-!
Everyone was adjusting their weapons while listening to the sound of the huge ship crashing through the waves.
After sunset until midnight, after another six hours of trekking through the darkness, the first cries were heard.
Beep, beep, beep―――――!
“huh? Mr. Jing Geng Geng?”
When Lee Ha looked up at the sky, Jing Geng Geng was not visible.
But I quickly learned what the crying meant.
“Hae-su appears from the front of the bow! light! light!”
“Change searchlight direction, bow forward.”
Fernand heard Jing Geng Geng’s whisper and immediately gave instructions.
As the users who installed the searchlight in the first place and the NPCs following Drake’s orders changed the direction of the light, the spray of water bouncing from beyond the bow finally caught the users’ eyes.
“Wow, awesome!”
“Huh… is that some kind of monster?”
“I thought it had the feel of a rough fish, even if it was called a saltwater fish. “I never thought there would be such a type of monster.”
It was a monster that Lee Ha, Ki-jeong, and Kid couldn’t help but express their admiration for.
Running from the sea are ruffed lizards about 5 meters in size.
It was difficult to estimate the number of people running in the dark, standing on two feet, skimming the surface of the water.
“We must prevent access! Sailors open left and right cannon muzzles and start loading! “If you come into sight, fire immediately!”
Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
At the same time as Fernand of the New Serpent shouted, golden light exploded from the Marlin.
Even Bailipus changed his form back into a dragon, and the New World expedition encountered its first sea water.
* * *
[Don’t let them hit the ship, the impact will blow a hole! And it’s hard to handle even if you let it ride on the side, so you have to deal with it before it gets here if possible! You wizards—]
[You talk a lot, Fernand. Our expedition team is not that weak, so don’t make a fuss.]
Let’s get together――――――!
[No one would call this a ‘hump’.] So
many users rushed at him that even those who had installed searchlights didn’t know where to turn, but Alexander remained calm.
[Everyone, battle begins.]
Flap――― Flap―――!
Alexander, who was flying into the sky on the Bailippus, was suddenly holding a spear of light in his hand.
It was a monster I had never seen before and an unfamiliar water battle, but how dependable was the leader of the expedition and number one in the rankings.
“I don’t know how strong it is, but first of all, I can’t see it! “Please adjust the searchlight properly, Euncheon!”
“It’s easier said than done! Because those guys’ speed is spreading all over the place-”
Gaeryong took a stance to throw the spear right away, but Euncheon was still wandering.
The person who came out behind them was a female user holding a crystal ball.
“I’ll let you see.”
“Fuha, you’re saying you’ll let me see? Can you see the lady’s eyes? “What kind of eyepatch are you wearing?”
One of the Shazrasian Giant users laughed at her with a cloth covering her eyes like an eyepatch, but she calmly raised the crystal ball without replying and finished casting.
“The pattern on that eyepatch… I’ve seen it before. That bright red jewel-like pattern—”
“Oracle… She’s the most famous among Oracle users! ‘Doctor Doom’, Miss Rubinida!”
Just as the other members of the expedition recognized her, the casting for ‘Doctor Doom’ was completed.
“〈Area mapping〉.”
Huwaaaa…….
With a red light, a huge holographic map was created in the center of the New Serpent.
However, the red map was different from regular maps.
“Huh… what is this again? Is this a map?”
“oh my god! “This is an Oracle user.”
“It’s not an ordinary Oracle, it’s the map of ‘Doctor Doom’, ‘the one who heralds destruction’!”
Despite his calm appearance, it was a terrible nickname.
Doctor Doom, ‘the one who heralds destruction’. A descendant of heroes from the Oracle profession, a profession that can predict the future!
The map she created clearly showed the locations of monsters. Of course, it is not a simple location notation.
Not only does she know where she will run from, but she can even predict where she will run to, which is why she got such a scary nickname.
“okay. I go first! 〈Gaybolg〉!”
Huuuuk, the Gaeryong, whose forearms were inflated as if they were about to explode, checked the map and threw the javelin.
Did he just throw the spear into the choppy sea?
Took-!
“Kiririririt—!”
It couldn’t have been that way.
“What a great map?! “It’s awesome!”
The ruffed lizard sea water crashed into the spear flying toward the empty sea, as if throwing itself.
As the prediction of movement shown on the map was exactly correct, it was a shot that showed off Gaeryong’s skill as he was thrown accurately at the predicted point.
“Off, tight panda? Are you going to go out?”
“of course.”
“I heard that my brother and Feiwu are going out over there, so let’s move as a team.”
A martial artist who paints his face with pure white powder and only his eyes are made up with black makeup, he is a ‘tight panda’. As expected, the person warming up next to him was a bald user.
“Puuuup- bah, tight, two of you-”
“What? This is not tight, this is customization! How much hair do I actually have! Hehehe, are you ready? 〈Gyeongmyeonjusa鏡面朱砂〉!”
Paaaaaaaa!
A bald user who insisted that it was customization gestured toward the air.
What was sticking out from the hem of his loose clothes were bright red powder. The user moved toward the powder as if dancing.
“〈Swift Department〉, 〈Strengthening Department〉, 〈Barrier Department〉!”
Hwiik, Hwiik, Hwiik!
The bright red powder scattered in the air gathered and scattered in a certain shape.
While other users were just amazed, Asian users including Lee Ha and Ki-jeong were able to immediately recognize what it was.
“It’s a talisman?!”
“This is my first time seeing reinforcements. As expected, it lives up to its name, ‘Mu Taoist’…”
There was no yellow paper, but the bizarre patterns were exactly those drawn on the amulet!
The amulet of the outsider ‘Martial Master’ glowed as it wrapped around the bodies of ‘Sneaky Panda’ and himself.
“let’s go!”
“Not bad.”
Paaat, paaat-! The two users jumped overboard in an instant.
“Uh, wow!? “What are you doing!”
“Crazy, if I fall in the middle of this, there’s no way I can save you-”
The cry mixed with worry and worry soon turned into relief and admiration.
Papa papa papa ――――!
With a huge splash of water.
“There’s no need to… save it.”
The tight panda and the martial artist were running towards the lizards running on the sea.
But it’s not just the two of them. Peiwu and Cabbage Taoist jumped out of the Marlin and were running on the sea…
“Panda!”
“Master Feiu!”
The two martial artists, who were running on the water, crossed paths with each other and sped towards the scarf lizards.
Two people who were only about 170cm tall were running toward collared lizards that were over 5m tall, but no one seemed anxious.
“Water sprinting is our specialty! < Steampunkak >!”
“〈Steampungak〉!”
The two martial artists increased their speed even more and leaped towards the heads of the scarf lizards.
