Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter] - Chapter 424

‘And the dragon’s scales contain the unique energy of each dragon’s breath! In other words, what these scales contain is the power of War Thunder Breath! ‘This is what I made with what was left!’

Since I was weak in close combat, I made this item to make up for that weakness!

-Good writing, Mr. Blaugrun! < Force Barrier > And, switch ON!

Leeha activated his skill to protect himself and held out his stick towards the fishmen.

Bright blue sparks flashed from Blaugrun’s scales attached to the end of the short stick.

‘Leeha! I’ll fry them all, you fishmen! Of all the types of fishing, the most rigorous is electric fishing using batteries!’

Patsutsu─────── Tsutsutsutsu──────!

“Hakiyyyyyy!”

“Hakyuut, hakyuut! “Pfft!”

It was Middle Earth’s first “electric stun gun”, which was crude but not weak in its energy output.

The fishmen were frightened and struggling due to the electric energy shooting out like lightning.

But that was all.

“… Hakit?”

“It doesn’t hurt.”

The fishmen were fine.

“Kkorok? Boo, boo, boo, boo, boo…”

what? Well, that can’t be possible?

Leeha once again turned the switch to OFF, then held it out towards the fishmen and turned it ON.

Pachit, pachachachachi───────!

It was also clear to Leeha that electric energy was being emitted along with the sparks.

‘Wow, the voltage is strong enough to penetrate the ‘Force Barrier’ and give you an exhilarating sensation! It’s clear that electricity was fired -‘

Even though the bottleneck is equipped with a safety device, the electric energy is so strong that the user, Leeha, feels a repulsive force. But why are the fishmen okay?

It was an unbelievable scene.

We clearly know that this is a fishing method that allows you to catch a wide range of fish in the river using only a car battery.

‘No matter how wide the sea is, even though it’s such a short distance, the current doesn’t travel that far?’

One fact that I didn’t know.

Electric fishing works only in fresh water.

This is Middle Earth, where monsters called fishmen have a fish-like body structure, so they can flip over and float using magic that forces air into their swim bladders.

Therefore, it was natural to embody the degree of difference in electrical conductivity between freshwater, seawater, and fish.

Fish have higher electrical conductivity than fresh water and lower than salt water. And electricity is directed to places with higher conductivity.

In other words, when electricity is passed through fresh water, the electricity is directed towards fish with higher conductivity and lower resistance. But at sea?

Head to the deep salt water ocean, which conducts electricity better than fish and has low resistance!

A fish that conducts electricity in fresh water becomes a ‘strong resistor’ in sea water and transmits electricity!

This meant that the electrical energy generated using Blaugrun’s scales would only escape the fish people’s bodies and flow into the open sea before disappearing.

‘Freeze? What? why?’

I was not aware of this fact yet, but to make matters worse, the bodies of the fishmen, who had been floating and turned upside down, began to slowly correct themselves.

The bubble shot’s duration was coming to an end.

* * *

“Leeha, Leeha! What are you doing?! “The fishmen will soon return to normal!”

“Kkorok, kkorok, kkorok-”

―I know that too… Uh, something’s strange, is this? Apparently – Ki-jeong once said that Lee Ji-won used tremendous lightning magic to burn the fishmen to death.

I also knew the situation at that time.

Although I had never used the item “Electric Shock Gun” yet, that was the reason why I secretly had faith in it while moving underwater.

However, the situation below is different from then.

Lee Ji-won used his sword as a lightning rod to collect the energy of more than a dozen lightning strikes and then released it to the fishmen on the sea level.

Therefore, the enormous energy was able to reach the fish before it spread underwater, and the compressed voltage and heat were also enormous.

If Blaugrun had taken the form of a dragon and unleashed a thunderous breath, wouldn’t it have been similar?

But that is not the case now.

The electrical energy emitted from just one dragon scale is insufficient to emit power under the sea.

‘Why not? Did the bottleneck guy make it wrong? ON again! ON!’

Pachit, pachit tsut… !

Of course, Leeha, who didn’t know the difference, was shocked to see the stick-shaped electric shock gun he was holding.

why? Why is there no electricity? Rather, you can feel a tingling amount of voltage as you hold it, but why are the fishmen okay?

‘No, this is- Oh, really, Mr. Bottleneck! ‘Make it as good as if you made a flamethrower!’

How unfair it would have been if I had been wearing a bottleneck.

But now there was no time to think about that. Blaugrun, who was being held by Anderson, screamed at Leeha.

[Kyuut! Kyuuuut!]

“Haki, hakyuuut!” “Human, I’ll kill you even if you don’t know what you’re doing!”

“Hakyukyu, revenge! They won’t recognize you for running away from the surface! Haki! “You won’t be lonely, because your friends at sea level will all die soon!”

The fishmen who had been completely gutted and turned over have now returned to their proper place.

Just by shaking their tail fins a few times, they quickly gained speed and began to approach Leeha.

“Boogrrrr!”

Leeha hurriedly swam towards Anderson, but there is no way that humans and fish could compete in speed in the sea.

The fishmen immediately got behind Leeha’s back and raised their bone weapons.

“Ingaaaaan-”
rr!”

What are you saying, this?!

As Leeha glanced behind him to somehow avoid the point of instant death, a shadow immediately appeared that obscured his gaze.

“Where are the dirty impurities!”

“Kororok!”

Took-!

Sibrim killed a fishman and protected Leeha!

The sound of bone weapons clashing in the water was dull and very low.

“Hakit! Captain of the Sea God Guard! Leeha, the sea god is on our side!”

“Kuuuuuuuu! Leeha! It’s the fishman’s subordinate! Haki!”

“Don’t treat me like the head of a fish like you. “I am the king of the Undine clan and a water spirit born to protect all sea gods.”

“Leeha! “He is the ‘Hakit of Water, born to serve the king of the Hakit clan.’”

“Hakit, Hakit!”

Shivrim stopped them and spoke solemnly, but the fishmen only followed him and laughed.

Syvrim wanted to kill them right away, but he still had a lot to ask.

“What did you do? How did you turn the sea god into a fishman? “How did a manipulator come into being?!”

Of course, there was no way they would answer.

Even when faced with two mermaids, a human, and a dragon, the two fishmen were not afraid.

Although there were a lot of them, they knew very well that there was only one mermaid who could actually fight.

“Huh, if you want to know.”

“You too can become a fishman. Haki!”

Shuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The fishmen confidently swam toward Seabream. An ordinary mermaid would never be able to win a 1:2 fight with fish people.

That was where the fish people’s leisure came from.

‘This is really… ‘The sky helped me, or should I say the sea helped me.’

However, fortunately for the group below, and unfortunate for the fish people, the mermaid dealing with them is the captain of the sea god’s guard.

The fishmen thought it was funny, but as Sibreem himself proudly said, he was capable of dealing with at least two fishmen.

The close combat in the water was completely different from the close combat on land. In addition to the simple front and rear, Seaburim skillfully toyed with the fishmen by going back and forth between the ‘lower’ and ‘upper’ sides of the fishmen.

Although they were fish that moved quickly and had great strength, the name of the Captain of the Sea God Guard was by no means light.

“Sigh!”

Sibrim quickly shifted his axis to evade the attack of one of the fishmen and swung his bone weapon.

Cheeeeeeeek!

The sharp weapon was enough to tear the fishman from his gills to his stomach.

“Hakiiii…”

“Oof…”

Leeha covered his mouth as he looked at the fish intestines leaking out into the seawater.

Shivrim didn’t stop at that.

Another panicked fish-man attempted a clumsy attack, and in a counterattack, the fish-man quickly ripped off its arms, legs, and tail fin.

The underwater swordsmanship of the Sea God Guard Captain was excellent.

After leaving one fish in a state where it couldn’t escape, he started to completely dismember the fishman, spilling its internal organs right in front of him.

Shivrim dismembered the fishman like he was throwing away raw fish, and threw away the intestines and other parts.

A group of sardines that had run away earlier came around and started pecking at them.

‘If that’s the reason you’re doing this…’

The following seemed to vaguely understand Shivrim’s purpose. Sibreem wants to get information from the fishmen.

But what about fish?

‘There is no pain sensation. ‘You won’t be able to get information by inflicting pain on yourself.’

Leeha looked at the face of the fishman who was alive but unable to escape.

My colleague’s life has not yet ended.

Nevertheless, the sight of the flesh being peeled off, the internal organs ripped out, and being thrown as food to the surrounding fish…

Siburim, the only torture method that can be used on fish without pain, stimulates visual fear and imagination, was indeed an NPC worthy of the position of ‘Sea God Guard Captain’.

“Whoa…” …”

After a while, Sibrim put the bone weapon on his shoulder and asked a fishman who was still alive.

“Ask me again. Where is the sea god? What are your numbers? What happened to Yonggung now? “What is the alert situation?”

“Leeha, Hakiit, Hakyu… We don’t know the direction of the sea god…”

There was no way the fishman could hold out.

Afterwards, Leeha relayed all of the information he had heard to Team A on the sea level.

Of course, in the meantime, I did not miss the keyword that Fishman had secretly uttered a moment ago.

―Kijeong, there might be another fish attack. He said, ‘Kill all of your friends on the sea level.’

-Eh? also? Dammit, did you notice that Captain Drake was gone… Anyway, okay, bro! thank you!

* * *

“Leeha! “Come to your senses!”

“… “Gluk!”

Leeha shook his head, exhaling air bubbles.

A day and a half had passed since we received information from the fishermen, rested, and marched again.

‘Did you doze off for a moment?! Phew, the atmosphere is so dreamy that I feel even sleepier. Even just being hugged is really draining.’

Still hugged by Sibreem, Leeha looked around.

The atmosphere was a little different from the dark sea until yesterday. Although it was slightly different depending on the depth of the water, there were glowing stones scattered throughout the sea floor, indicating the path to the Dragon Palace like a signpost.

‘If we go another day and a half, we will reach the Yonggung Palace. ‘We’re almost there now.’

From there, Leeha will log out again, sleep for about 5 hours in real life for a day in Middle Earth time, and then log in for the final operation.

It also meant that Leeha, who was moving comfortably while being held by Sibreem, was so tired that she fell asleep.

Leeha checked the time and the status of the friend window for a moment and then sent a whisper to Kijeong.

―Kijeong, can you see it?

Since the following had a break by logging out, they could not go near Yonggung until now, a half-day procedure after entering the waters of Yonggung on the 19th. But what about Team A?

Users came and went in and out of the logout rotation, but the ship they stood on continued to move forward.

In other words, it is time to see the ‘buoy’ made up of the power of the Sea God, an island built in the center of the Dragon Palace’s sea area and the center of the Sea of Dawn!

-yet. Fernand continues to look through the telescope – uh, uh, uh! see! No, I can see it!

-see? Can you see the island?

-Wait a minute, me too… Oh, oh! I can see the island, bro! big! The island is no joke, it’s so big!

―Is it worth building a mana relay tower?

-It’s not that much! What island… M. Fernand must have been mistaken for a continent. It’s so big. That’s enough. Brother Hyein is already ready.

Leeha was finally able to relax for an hour while listening to Kijeong’s whispers.
