Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter] - Chapter 396
“Giant moray eel?”
“It’s a huge seawater! I just heard a whisper from a summoner – they are exactly below our ships, and they will definitely surface and attack the underside of our ships! shit! “I couldn’t believe I was caught below.”
Fernand’s expression did not look good. It was due to fear that had already been experienced.
“Uh, what, what should I do then? “Attack?”
“Under the boat? “How do I catch the guy sticking out from under the boat?”
Fernand’s uproar quickly spread to the users.
It is not simply a battle between ships.
As the expression “sea beasts” or “beasts of the sea” suggests, these monsters can breathe and move freely even under water.
It is a ship capable of all-round attack and defense, but it is still just a ship. You cannot withstand attacks coming from below!
‘shit! Should we have made something similar to a mine?’
An item I thought about for a while, but was unable to produce due to time constraints.
Leeha opened the bag and counted the number of bombs.
“then when? When are they coming to attack?”
“No, first of all, we can’t see them! There, Druid! “Can’t you turn into a fish or something?”
“Something like salmon is possible – but what does that mean?”
It was Rubini, who was sitting next to Lee Ha, who stepped forward once again amidst the confusion of the chattering users.
“I’ll map it.”
Shuuuuu…!
The grains of mana that entered her body were transferred to her crystal sphere. Photographing the location of a monster on a holographic map?
‘No, that won’t work below the surface. Maps are only two-dimensional-‘
Before the following concerns could be finished, Roubini had already finished casting.
“〈Three-dimensional scanner〉.”
“Ah…”
It wasn’t just a map.
The detailed shape of a ship floating on the surface of the sea, the rolling sea, and two lumps bobbing deep below the sea surface!
“Yuck?! what!”
“Wow… it’s that big?”
“This is our ship, right? “Is that a marlin fish next to you?”
The gathered users could not contain their astonishment.
Just how big is this ship? It is a long and large adventure ship that is as long as most battleships.
“Oh, no matter how short I make it, it’s more than three times longer than this ship, right?”
“What about the thickness? “It’s thicker than this ship!”
The giant moray eel, which was about 150 meters long and 20 meters wide, was large enough to overwhelm users with just a hologram.
“That- if such a monster attacks from underneath the ship…”
All the thoughts of the users, who were all at peace with the battle, were spinning, but no one was able to come up with a clear answer.
[How to hold it?]
‘Into the water? no. ‘There’s nothing more stupid than shooting a gun underwater.’
Anything below is impossible.
Throw a bomb? The fuse will go out.
Magic? Their location was underneath the ship in the first place. I can’t target them.
“Kikit, in a sea like this, releasing the poison is useless…”
Biyemi couldn’t help but click his tongue in disappointment.
“Wow! In times like this, the best thing to do is run away! Because fighting isn’t the only answer! No, this is not called running away. “What do you say, Captain Drake?”
“…If you think of it as a naval battle, it’s about taking advantage of the wind. “Moving the boat to catch a better wind and shoot from a better position.”
“That’s right, that’s right. First, increase your speed to separate them, increase the distance, and reach near the sea level! “Wouldn’t it be okay to shoot whatever the gunman over there shoots?”
Even in the wind, there is a top and a bottom. That’s what Kraven’s ‘Hook’ wanted to say.
First of all, moving to a good place to fight is the basis of naval warfare.
Other users had no choice but to agree with that opinion.
At least for them, they couldn’t think of a better move. Except for one person.
“…There’s no need for that.”
“ok? 100 million! “You—”
Next to Hook, a girl with flowing blue hair was walking towards Leeha.
The deck of the New-Serpent suddenly became quiet.
“brother. ear.”
“Uh, huh?”
Ram Hwajeong tugged on Lee Ha’s sleeve.
It would have been okay to just whisper, but she was a bold girl who dared to bring her own face close to Leeha’s.
“…is that possible?”
“huh.”
And the girl’s proposal was more than bold.
* * *
“150m? “A 150m monster?”
The same thing happened to the Marlin.
Luger was unconsciously putting the shot put into his “Cobalt Blue Python.”
“it’s crazy. “How do you catch that?”
“According to Fernand, he has extreme offensive power but weak defensive power. They say that if you can just target its weak points, you can get through without any damage.”
“So how do you do that! They say they attack from underneath the ship, from underneath the ship! Doesn’t that mean one of us has to dive underwater and fight? “I heard they’re going to target the underside of the ship!”
A method that is known in theory but is impossible to implement. After hearing Alexander’s words, the users of the Marlin became even more embarrassed.
“Is there magic that makes breathing underwater possible? “I’ll go down and take care of it.”
“My talisman works, but it lasts only a short time. “It’s hard to fight two 150m tall creatures by yourself—” “
You can do it if you use a dolphin-shaped piece—but your body will turn into that of a dolphin. “I will seal Feiwu’s kick…”
Feiwu stepped forward, but even the world’s martial artist could not do much.
The methods of the cabbage master and the sculptor Rodin were not enough to make him fight underwater.
“Or will we just evaporate all the sea water for a moment? If I were to use my flame magic, I would burn all the seawater within a 15m radius of this ship—” “
Well, that’s not possible! If we do that, the ship will definitely suffer damage, but we can’t handle it. “It would be like burning down all that thatch just to get rid of bed bugs.”
Another hero’s descendant, a man with the same profession as Ram Hwayeon, a ‘pyrotechnician’, created flames from his fingertips, but Shin Nara quickly stepped in to stop him.
“Um… Bailippus.”
“heard.”
When Alexander opened his mouth, the gold dragon in human form nodded.
“Hmm, what method did you hear?”
Chiyo looked at Alexander with an interesting expression.
He didn’t bother to reply to her and called other users together.
“Hold on tight everyone. From now on, Baylippus will launch the boat.”
“What-”
Shwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Before anyone could ask, Baylippus had already changed into the form of a dragon.
Launch a boat?
I immediately understood what that meant. Because it was literally about launching a ship into the air.
Coo coo coo coo….
“Wow!? “It really makes my stomach float!”
“This size?”
“That ship over there is floating too!”
“Awesome… No, if it was going to be like this, wouldn’t it have been better to launch the boat in the first place?”
“That is impossible. Do you know how big the masses of the two ships are?”
“Well, I’m just saying this… If that were possible, I wouldn’t have gone by boat in the first place.”
The users had questions mixed with admiration, but they could not ask any more questions after Alexander said something.
“It is an amazing reptile. “But what can we do with this?”
Luger snorted as he watched the ship gradually rise 3m, 4m, and 5m into the air, pouring seawater.
I knew it was floating. What next?
Alexander, who was on the Marlin, silently raised his hand and pointed to a place. All eyes of the expedition members turned to that point.
The sight of the New Serpent, floating just like the Marlin, with its blue hair fluttering down from the side of its deck, caught everyone’s eyes.
“Uh, uh! Hey – someone is jumping!”
“Who… Ramhwajeong!?”
“What do you want to fall”
Paaah ah ah ah.
“-Kya!”
Xin Nara closed her eyes tightly and turned her head.
What exploded from Ram Hwajeong’s falling body was a blue light that was so blinding that the mana that flowed into her body spread out in an instant.
“Yeah, yeah, I’ve heard that! “During the national war—the way Ram Hwa-jeong fought during the national war!”
Blah blah blah…!
One person shouted, still unable to open his eyes and hearing only an unknown sound.
Ram Hwajeong fought against the Kraven Navy on Dike Beach during the National War.
How did Puviel, who was no match for naval warfare, last so long against Kraven?
Blah blah blah―――――――――――――
“The sea – the sea…!”
“oh my god!”
“How much mana does it take to do that?”
Whether you are a descendant of a hero or a tournament participant, you are at least an outsider to Middle Earth! In addition, many of the members of this expedition were rankers, but they all had their eyes enlarged to more than twice their normal size.
“Wow, hahaha! Yes, that’s it! I wondered why that ice witch princess didn’t show up! Even I, who grew up drinking only sea water, couldn’t handle that little boy! “For that little princess, we’re on the same team, and nothing matters!”
Burke, who was in charge of ship operations on the Marlin, laughed heartily.
Looking down at the pale blue frozen sea.
* * *
“Luger. Get ready. “It’s high over there.”
Alexander gave simple instructions.
Luger also instinctively knew what to prepare.
“Right. That’s how it was said. Damn you, you didn’t even tell me about the Three Musketeers-”
Bang-!
Luger also walked to the end of the deck and lifted up the “Cobalt Blue Python.”
In the same spot on the other side of the ship, Lee Ha was shaking “Black Bess” and laughing.
“Luger! As expected, it’s a good idea to find a seat.”
“Don’t take it for granted. “If you break the ice with your head and jump under the ship, the best place to shoot is definitely here.”
“Giggles, Mr. Alexander, he probably wouldn’t have said much due to his personality, but he’s quick-witted. Good good.”
“Don’t judge, I fight better than you.”
Luger exclaimed and looked down again, and Leeha focused again.
The frozen sea was still visible beneath the ship. As if a chunk of ice were floating in the North Pole, the sudden chunk of ice bewildered the viewer.
‘It’s even wider. Of course, since a moray eel or something would have to break through and climb up, it would have had to be made thinner to make it wider… but does it make sense to freeze a 50m diameter?’
However, Lee I-ha did not know that this was also a yakgwa.
In the national war against Kraven, it was Ramhwajeong who made the land forces run by connecting the ships with ice.
Would you say that in the Three Kingdoms, the Yeonhwanji system was used using ice?
Although she was an incredible Ramhwajeong in terms of her use of mana and the specifications of Middle Earth, the reason she was called a ‘genius’ was because of her ideas.
“It’s coming. 8m, 6m, 4m to sea level—”
Roubini’s countdown sound was heard in Leeha’s ears from behind.
Before we knew it, Ram Hwa-jeong had returned to the deck using fly magic.
At that point, I was able to see the following. Black stains rising up from under the thin frozen white film.
“Is that your head?”
“Wow, that’s ridiculous…. “It’s like someone throwing ink into the sea, isn’t it?”
The overwhelmingly large size was clearly visible even though it was below the surface of the water.
“―1m, now―”
Kwasasasak, changgraang―――――!
With a loud noise, ice powder flew through the air.
What catches your eye even more than the ice powder sparkling in the sunlight is the giant moray eel with its black and shiny body!
Not even knowing that the ship had been lifted into the sky, the seawater jumped out of the water with all its might, thinking that the ‘ice’ created by Ram Hwajeong was still a ship-like object.
