Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter] - Chapter 406
The users of the New-Serpent were moving faster than the Alexander of the Marlin. This is because we were looking at Roubini’s map in real time.
“where? “Which direction?”
“11 o’clock from the bow, the distance is approximately 600m!”
How she knows direction and distance while wearing something like an eye patch is not important anymore.
Users’ eyes focused on the direction Rubini pointed.
“Can’t you see?”
“The rain—the rain is too heavy!” “All I can see is water droplets bouncing!”
“Kid, don’t you have the skill to see far away? Like Leeha-”
“I and he have different attributes.”
It would have been sufficiently visible at a distance of 600m from the sea without any obstruction from geographical features.
But now it is different. Because the rolling waves are in themselves no different from a ‘moving hill’.
Even though it was 600m ahead at 11 o’clock, there were too many things blocking their view.
“It looks like something is floating…”
“Hmm, it’s moving. Right? Doctor Doom! “That thing is moving, right?”
“What do you see, Bobae?”
Currently, Kidd is not the best at finding objects on board the New-Serpent.
Among the long-distance dealers, there is the highest ranking person, Gunggui Bobae, who is ranked 10th. Her vision for using a bow is also impressive.
“yes… But it’s not coming this way – it’s going from 11 o’clock to 10 o’clock. why?”
Roubini looked at the map in confusion.
Isn’t what’s coming a monster? What on earth is that object bouncing on the sea surface?
“Ahhhhhhhh! hurry! We have to get there quickly! young master! young master!”
Boom, boom, boom! While the users were getting frustrated, the mermaid behind them fluttered and approached Drake.
“What’s going on?”
“Over there—we have to go to the one who is moving over there! That person is—”
10 o’clock direction from New-Serpent Lake, distance 470m. It was clear why the mermaid who was looking at the sea near the users became urgent.
“―I’m the captain of the Sea God Guard!”
Because he was someone he knew.
The mermaid’s cry toward Drake was also heard by users.
“The captain of the guard is here… ?”
While Drake was pondering for a moment, the object now completely entered Bobae’s eyes.
“Wow, is this real?! Mermaid! It’s a mermaid again! Oh, and it looks like there’s some kind of spray coming from behind too. Doctor Doom! That object—no, what’s behind the mermaid?”
Swimming and moving like a dolphin at sea level is clearly a mermaid.
However, as the mermaid’s direction of movement was strange, the spray of water behind her was also not a normal phenomenon.
“… no. “Nothing is caught.”
“It’s not? Something is moving-”
Choaaaa, chuaaaa, chuaaaaaaaaaaat by sssss?
At that moment, there were objects violently sticking out as if they were tearing the sea surface apart.
It was a dark sea with no sunlight due to the dark clouds of the typhoon, but it was clearly visible to the eyes of users, including Bobae.
“What is that… ?”
“fish? No, what kind of fish-”
“Why- why can’t I catch it on my map?”
When the users were surprised for their own reasons, the mermaid next to Drake shouted again. Only then did everyone understand why he was screaming so urgently.
“Oh, it’s a fishman─────!”
* * *
“It’s a fish!”
“Is it really just a fish with arms and legs?”
“And it’s big!”
“Captain Drake! What are you going to do!?”
The users looked at each other.
After all, what happens now without Fernand? The general commander of the New World expedition was Alexander, but the person with the strongest voice on the New Serpent was, of course, Fernand.
Fernand is not there, and even Leeha, who was trying to take the lead in doing something, is logged out. There weren’t many people to unite the remaining users.
The good news is that there are several guild masters from famous guilds here. They knew exactly when to step up.
“I’m coming to the rescue! Fernand also talked about it before, and Brother Leeha also talked about it! “It’s not too late to save that mermaid first and then decide after seeing the status of the quest!”
“I contacted the Marlin! “It is said that NPCs Alexander and Berk are also heading that way!”
“We’ll install the searchlight totem and go up to the mast, so everyone get ready for battle!”
Byulcho’s guild master Ki-jeong, Dragon Knights’ guild master Gaeryong, and Flash of Light’s guild master Euncheon.
The three men stepped forward without regard for who was first and reorganized their battle lines.
“Hey! Got it! No matter how many fish there are, our boat shouldn’t be any slower! Captain Drake! “What are the instructions?”
“Full speed ahead. I will control the rudder myself. “Loosen all sails.”
“Wow? Are you crazy? In this weather-”
“〈波浪無效〉! < Acceleration >!”
Paaaaaaaa!
Immediately after the light flashed from Drake’s body, the New-Serpent no longer shook.
“Oh, indeed… “This is that skill.”
Super-special NPC skills that even Kraven people have never seen before.
After a while, a bright light flashed on the Marlin Lake. A skill that Burke can also use will ignore all waves approaching both ships for a short period of time.
When Euncheon of the New-Serpent and Rodin, the sculptor of the Marlin, each climbed up to the main mast and completed the installation of the searchlight, only two beams of light remained empty on the dark sea.
However, from the user’s perspective, it just seemed like there was nothing.
“omg…”
“There are so many.”
Sprays continued to bounce from the area illuminated by the searchlight.
This is because so many fishmen were chasing after the captain of the Sea God Guard that Gaeryong used profanity without even realizing it.
“Leeha, Leeha, human… ? “A human ship reaches here?”
“Hakit!? Human—”
“Leeha! “Kill the mermaid first.”
Both the mermaid and the fishman reacted to the sudden light in the same way. However, neither species approached the ship.
It is natural for mermaids, who have not interacted with humans for a long time, to avoid ships. Moreover, the only purpose of the fishmen was to chase after the captain of the Sea God Guard.
“shit! “They’re not coming this way?”
“On the Marlin, Summoner Elmi and Tamer Yongyong are preparing to retrieve the mermaid! Our side is—”
“I’ll go myself!”
When Bobae, who was in contact with the Marlin, asked, the mermaid raised her hand.
“If the mermaid goes in person and there is any problem-”
“I will assist with water attribute magic.”
“I will also apply the skill. For the time being, I will take care of the damage Ms. Mermaid will receive. “As long as the distance is not too far away, it will be fine.”
Bobae looked worried for a moment, but when Jin and Ki-jeong, descendants of the elementalist heroes, came forward, he could no longer stop them. Anyway, since the hour was urgent, there was no time to think about this or that and calculate anything.
“And only if I go will the Captain of the Guard get on this ship safely!”
“… Okay, then Mermaid, Jin, and Kijeong, get ready! For other users, please focus on the fishman following that mermaid from behind! Now without Mr. Fernand, we don’t know their level or strength! “You can’t relax!”
“This is it, Won, who would relax when ‘Gung-gwi’ says so? Let’s give it a shot first! 〈Gaybolg〉.”
As Bo-Bae encouraged him, Gae-Ryong smiled and raised his arms.
What appears above his palm is a spear of mana. As a lancer, the strongest long-distance skills he can do began to be created.
The distance between the New Serpent, which runs through the sea ignoring the waves, and the Sea God Guard Captain and the fishmen is already less than 300m. Kid, with a lifeline wrapped around his waist, also approached the end of the deck.
“I’m ready too.”
While the Gaebolgro fishmen are momentarily embarrassed and stop moving, the Crimson Geckos will burst into flames. Kid is a person who knows how to connect with the people around him without saying much.
“Hwaaaaaap—!”
Gaeryong, whose forearms swelled to the point of bursting, threw down the Mana Spear.
A spear of mana that glides across the surface of the water, Pachichit! Gaebolg, whose accumulated energy was enough to splash around, quickly approached the fishman.
‘An attack power similar to Gaeryong’s is enough. How much damage does it take? Where is the instant death point?’
Gulp, Bobae also shot arrows at the protester and was watching the scene.
Just before Gaebolg finally impaled a fishman, the users of the Marlin and New-Serpent had to witness an amazing sight.
Teeenn…
It was similar to a lightly ringing bell. But it wasn’t a bell.
“uh?”
“〈Wild Burn〉 Hmm?”
“What is it?”
What Gaebolg collided with was a pure white weapon held in both hands of the fishman. The fishman crossed the bone-like object in the shape of an X and threw Gaebolg away.
“Leeha! Without a doubt, a Hakit! “It’s magic!”
The fishman shouted at the top of his voice with a cough-like noise. As if showing off one’s power to humans.
“Haki-ki, hockey-!”
Hakyu- Haka- Hakiki!
It was at that time that the fishmen started making strange cries as a group. It was quite a creepy scene.
“… They say it repels Gaebolg… ?”
“How high is the level? No, what are the stats… ?”
“… Don’t fish have vocal cords? “How do I say it?”
“Mr. Kijeong!”
“I’m sorry, Bobae.”
The fear of the New-Serpent was also felt on the Marlin.
“As for Gaeryong, I met him at the Hwahong guild battle. He is by no means weak…”
“Do you remember fighting with an idiot who couldn’t even catch a fish? “Feiwu, you are out of fashion too.”
“Watch your mouth, Luger.”
“Hmph, you better watch your mouth. Because from now on, I don’t think it’s the place for idiots like you. reptile! Fix my body!”
Slam!
Luger commanded Bailippus without hesitation while holding up “Cobalt Blue Python.” The Ancient Gold Dragon frowned for a moment, but cast the spell relatively obediently.
At least at this moment, I could know which strategy would be best.
“Keep control until the mermaid is rescued, Luger.”
“I know, so shut up, Alexander.”
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaa whom whom where where?
Luger’s guns opened fire on the bow of the Marlin. Sea water splashed like a fountain as his gun exploded through the sea surface.
“Hmph, they are such a bunch of fish, I can’t help but
snort and load the next shell. For a moment, Luger couldn’t believe his eyes.
“… hmm?”
This is because the number of fishmen within the searchlight’s illumination range did not change.
If you were hit from this distance by a Luger cannon with tremendous penetrating power, you would never be able to survive.
But what does it mean that the numbers are the same?
“not… “I think you got hit?”
The fishmen also had speed to match their strength.
“Damn, you’re saying that checks don’t even work? Bailipus. “Would you like to deal with it directly using magic?”
“i get it. However, it would be difficult for me to use area-type magic as it could cause damage to the ship. “I shortened the distance for no reason.”
Alexander’s expression finally hardened a little.
It only took a moment for a knight wearing golden armor to transform into a gold dragon.
[Flame Strike]
The flames flew straight to the place where the fishmen were splashing around.
“Hakya – sprinkle water! Sprinkle water—!”
“Hockey – Hakkyak!”
“Hakyu, Hakyu!”
And they were a little different from ordinary monsters.
The blue particles that gathered in front of the fish’s snouts soon turned into water cannons and began shooting seawater like bullets.
