Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter] - Chapter 432
〈Mermaidization〉
Description: High-purity water spirits help you ‘turn your friends into high-purity water spirits.’ You can choose by part and type, so have fun taking a walk in the sea!
Effect: Mermaid Transformation
Mana: ―
Duration: Until removed
Cooldown: 24 hours
The first is the skill from the Under the Sea achievement!
As a skill without a grade or level, Leeha was able to immediately understand its performance by looking at its name and description.
‘There won’t be another quest like this… but it’s good anyway. ‘Mermaidization!’
And use it right away! Blaugrun, who was still eating with his nose in the plate, looked back for a moment at the unfamiliar Mana.
Please select the transformation part.
[Head/whole upper body/arms/whole lower body/feet]
‘Huh?’
Lee Ha tilted his head. Just turn into a mermaid! I thought it was about changing, but it was a choice? Even the head?
‘head? What do you do with your hair turned into a mermaid? Aren’t you going to end up like a fishman? Of course it’s the whole lower body!’
The goal is to become a mermaid. Of course, it would be better to have the same shape as a mermaid. Lee Ha chose the entire lower body without hesitation.
Please select a transformation type.
[Flounder Family/Sea Bream Family/Mackerel Family/Conger Eel Family/Squid Family]
‘What, this again! ‘What kind of raw fish restaurant is this?’
What followed was an even more absurd choice.
halibut? Sea bream? Lee Lee, who thought of fish such as flounder and rockfish, soon realized that this would transform the part of his choice into a marine species of that family.
‘Tuna is a member of the mackerel family, right? Because it’s a blue-backed fish—’
At least it was clear that things like swordfish were not flounder, sea bream, conger eel, or squid. Below, after thinking for a while, I chose the mackerel department! He watched as the blue mana particles that had gathered around him seeped into his lower body.
Shaaaaa────────!
“Oh, oh! Daeebaak! B, Mr. Blaugrun! Look at this! Look at this!”
[What?! Kkkkkkkkk! Kkyukkyu!]
And Lee Ha could see his lower body transformed to resemble a mermaid.
You can talk and swim under the sea!
The sensation of moving was significantly different from running with my legs, but I was able to get used to it quickly.
“Whahaha! What is this! What on earth happens when you say ‘transformation part: head’ and ‘transformation type: squid’?”
[Kyukyukkyun! Kyaaaak!]
Shwaaaaaaagh!
Lee Ha imagined something funny and tried hard to move.
Skills that do not consume mana can literally be used ‘as much as you want.’ Compared to other skills in Middle Earth, this condition is no different from a kind of preferential treatment.
“K-huh. That… Leeha ball.”
“Wow?! “Sibrim!” There was a voice calling out
to Lee Ha,
who was dancing around the spacious VIP room as if swimming in synchronization.
“It’s good that you received a gift from the Water Spirit King, but since this is the Dragon Palace, I’d like to ask you to… help yourself.”
“S-sorry. This – that – it’s so fast… it feels good, so-”
“I know how good it feels to be a member of the water spirit.”
Shivrim was not surprised when he saw the following.
Instead, he smiled warmly. In the meantime, the following keywords were not missed.
‘Spirit King…? I think there is something else that has come into existence at all.’
There was no time to worry any more.
First of all, you just need to remember the keywords. The world of Middle Earth is one that is connected one after another. Although you have received great achievements and stats, the real rewards begin now.
“The sea god and the master are all ready. “Please go.”
“Huh… Heh… I understand. Let’s go, Mr. Blaugrun!”
[Kyuu, kyuu!]
A bronze dragon hatchling with a swollen belly climbed onto Leeha’s shoulder, snorting.
***
Leeha swam after Sibrim and quickly turned his head.
‘Now then, what should I take with the treasure? What should I get?’
Below, I looked at my items. Currently there are no tops at all.
However, I also know that Drake’s coat is worn by the ship’s crew. Therefore, if possible, you can just pass on the top, take it away(?) and wear it again.
‘Of course, if there is something better, it’s best to have it. What’s urgent is bottoms or shoes.’
The hat has a Harpy item that allows it to ignore wind direction and speed.
But what about bottoms and shoes? The shoes are fur boots that came out after killing the field boss brown bear. At least it was better than the bottom. Because there were no options for the bottoms at all!
‘Tsk, I should have paid more attention to my pants. ‘I just ignored it because it was a long coat and it covered my pants, and this is what happened.’
In Middle Earth, equipment items were too indifferent even though they had effects other than simply making them look nice.
It was also because of their overwhelmingly strong offensive power and the skills that supported it.
If you were a user who always gets beaten to level up, strengthening your equipment would have been your top priority, but for players below, they haven’t really felt the need to do that.
‘Well, if you walk around like a mermaid like this, you won’t need any bottoms or shoes, right? Still, you will still receive the option effect.’
Lee Ha giggles at the sight of herself without any lower body to wear pants or shoes.
Sibreem looked at Leeha with suspicious eyes for a moment, but it was only a sign of friendliness. This is because 100% intimacy with all mermaids naturally includes Seaburim.
“Keuhum, Leeha dong.”
“Ah yes?!”
“Are you ready?”
“preparation? “What should I prepare?”
Does this mean you are ready to choose an item? When Leeha tilted his head, Siburim smiled.
The place I walked along Seabream so far was a hallway that seemed to go on forever.
Now that you’re standing in front of the door, what does it mean to be ready?
Shivrim opened the door, shouting in a voice that felt like it was about to explode.
“Are you ready to receive the cheers of all mermaids?”
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaa!
A bright blue light came in from the wide open door. Lee Ha narrowed his eyes for a moment at the light, which seemed like a magic attack.
“Ugh?!”
Seeing this, Sibreem shouted once again like a naughty child. It was around this time that Lee Ha slowly opened his narrowed eyes again.
“O king! Hi, the Lord has arrived!”
Shivrim sang proudly as if it were his own work. The answer to that question also came back in an instant.
Waaaaaa─────! Ha── this── ha──!
Ha── this── ha──!
Ha── this── ha──!
The surrounding sea water was shaking due to the name below systematically chanting for the Dragon Palace to burst forth. The trembling of the sea water, whoosh, whoosh, touched Leeha’s skin directly.
A ‘tremor’ that had never been experienced before, either in Puviel’s royal palace ahead of a national exhibition or in Ezwene’s papal square ahead of his expedition to the New World.
The cries of mermaids spreading through the seawater created a completely different feeling of elation than the cries on land.
“Wow…”
was all Leeha could express in one word.
In addition to the mermaids’ cheers that touched my ears and skin, the unfamiliar sight unfolding before my eyes undoubtedly played a role.
“Please go in, Leeha-dono.”
“Ah… yes…”
The underwater palace was different from the palace on land, and even the structure of the hall was bound to be different.
The place Leeha entered following Shivrim was not a simple room.
There are mermaids packed from bottom to top in the shape of an incredibly large sphere, and even a huge throne visible at the top of the front door!
It was a room where the technology of mermaids was hidden, as well as stones emitting light, and drawing sunlight from the surface of the water into the deep Dragon Palace to illuminate it, but Lee Ha did not have time to worry about such things now.
As Shivrim and Leeha entered the ‘Dragon King’s Room’, which was composed of a three-dimensional circle, the door closed.
When the sound of cooing was heard, the mermaids immediately closed their mouths.
The ‘road’ leading from the gate stretched straight.
Right next to it was a cliff without even a fence, but this was not the ground. When Leeha peeked her head out, she saw the mermaids on the platform below, looking up at her.
If you look up at the end of the road, you will see a throne, and there is a sea god.
Not only the Drake standing next to him, but also the Black Serpent and White Serpent on the left and right behind the Sea God.
Lee Ha realized that all eyes were on him 360 degrees up, down, front, back, left and right.
“Hi, our friend.”
The sea god’s clothes were gorgeous.
The blade of the trident became sharper and the light of the crown became stronger.
Although he must have become smaller than when he was transformed into a fishman, the majesty of the sea god appeared to be greater than before.
A room like this, a tone like that. Of course, there was only one ‘concept’ for Lee Ha to take.
“I’m glad to see you okay, Sea God.”
Since there are no knees, Lee Ha’s attitude of bowing his upper body instead of bowing is not wrong.
The Sea God, Drake, and Seaburim behind Leeha were all smiling in satisfaction.
Lee Ha felt that the level of the items he would receive was increasing.
***
“…They say the fishmen have disappeared.”
“Ha… ha… where does it come from?”
The users, who had dealt with the fishmen for almost three days and nights without rest, were so exhausted that they completely misheard Fernand’s words.
“no! It’s not coming! Just the opposite! The fishmen—the fishmen aren’t chasing me anymore! “I heard a whisper from Jinggeonggeong!”
Fernand cheered as he looked at the distant sea.
A hawk quickly descended from the sky onto the New-Serpent and polymorphed into the appearance of a giant.
“Kikit, is it really gone?”
“yes yes! “I thought they had slowed down earlier, but they completely disappeared!”
“You’re not trying to bring in the Kraken again, are you? “I’m really tired now… I’m running out of arrows.”
Bobae was also unable to control his body and walked languidly before leaning against the mast.
After Hyein teleported, Team A faced the Fishmen with virtually no rotation.
I was so focused on the battle that I had no rest for three days and nights in Middle Earth time, but considering the time I had been logging in before then, it means that my brain has been under load for several days in real time.
Even Bobae, ranked 10th in the rankings, would say something like that, so other dealers must be appalled.
Here and there, dealers made the sound of death, but it was more like a happy scream.
In fact, Ki-jeong, who had taken all the damage from all the users, was just lying there motionless and unable to say anything.
Kid smiled slightly as he looked at the spread out expedition members.
“This time… it’s real.”
“What?”
“The fishmen will not come in the future.”
“How could Mr. Kid do that-”
Shwaaaaaaaaaa!
During Fernand’s question, a light flashed next to Kid.
The New Serpent is not the only one who is perplexed by the news that the fishmen have disappeared. The users of the Blue Marlin also had no idea what was going on.
And two users who ‘know’ it met each other. To confirm this incredible fact.
“Kid!”
“Did you see it too, Luger?”
“That… that—the damned guy ended up—”
“That’s right. “Whoa…”
Kid took off his hat, put it down next to him, and lay down on the deck. The holographic window still visible to his eyes was the window of the Three Musketeers’ friend.
Kid, who was checking the location of Luger right next to him, saw the location of the person underneath Luger.
From Luger’s point of view, underneath Kid, the same position as Kid is visible is probably displayed.
[Sea of Dawn – Sea Area of the Dragon Palace – Dragon Palace – Room of the Dragon King]
“Leeha did it.”
“Damn you…”
The two other three musketeers who confirmed the location below were unable to say anything more due to the mixture of joy and overflow, jealousy and regret mixed with it, and even gratitude and awe.
And there was another person who couldn’t sit still while hearing the names below.
“Brother Leeha? “What did Lee Ha do, Mr. Kid?”
“It means that you have cleared the mermaid quest. He is now inside the Dragon Palace.”
“Wow?! Mermaid Quest- That? What kind of septic tank is that? “You say Lee Ha cleared that?”
Ki-jeong’s eyes turned into rabbit eyes.
Unlike Kid or Luger, Tanker’s loud voice was enough to spread throughout the New-Serpent.
Users who responded to the words “quest clear” gathered to his side.
“Who does what?”
“Leeha? Did you clear the mermaid quest? how?”
“Now that I think about it, the sky is strange too! Besides the typhoon we erased, all the typhoons on the other side are disappearing!”
