Solo Eating to Overpowered - Chapter 55

Episode 55

‘Is this an opportunity or….’

A trap? Gafis blushed for a moment before turning his head coolly. It is the appearance of a human being out of nowhere. The possibility that it was a trap of the Fish-Man Alliance could not be ruled out.

Gafis, who had been thinking about it, made a decision.

“I will see you in person.”

*

X, who was surrounded by mermaid soldiers, was once again impressed.

If you look here or there, there are only incredibly handsome men!

‘Everyone looks like an actor.’

There was no statue except that the lower body was a fish. With his muscular upper body and sculpted face, X looked like a squid in front of the mermaid soldiers. The little fish whispered without notice.

“Um… do all humans look like you?”

“What do you mean by that?”

“huh? Even meaning? “I was just asking because I was curious?”

These words stick like a dagger all the more because they have no malicious intent!

It’s a good thing that

Seeing X muttering, the mermaid soldier warned him.

“Be quite. “I still can’t completely believe what you say.”

“Okay, I’ll keep my mouth shut.”

It would be a big problem if the ugly fur got stuck in the mermaids.

X quickly closed his mouth.

Before long, I saw a man swimming quickly from afar. He was a mermaid holding a trident and, like the soldiers, he was extremely handsome. The man, Garfis, looked at X.

‘First of all, I don’t feel any evil energy.’

Mermaids were basically sensitive to the flow of nature. Moreover, in the sea, it was possible to obtain information about the desired object through nature. Gapis asked the little fish.

“I heard that this human defeated the Abyss Slayer. “Can you prove that it’s true?”

“Yes, of course!”

Squeak! When the little fish approached Gapis, Gapis lifted his finger and placed it on the little fish’s head. He closed his eyes and attempted to communicate.

‘Oh, is something like that even possible?’

X was secretly impressed. Perhaps it is a magic that reads the other person’s thoughts. The level of such magic is quite high. Among users, there seemed to be only a handful of users who could use such magic.

Before long, Gafis’s eyes widened in surprise.

‘…You have truly defeated the Abyss Slayer! And very easily. No matter how much of a Seahawk he is, he won’t be able to kill the Abyss Slayer that was trained with great difficulty.’

Honestly, there was no reason to invade Mermaid Island, even going so far as to kill the Abyssal Slayer. Mermaid Island’s military power is at a miserable level, so even if you just attack with troops, there will be no problem in taking it. Gafis said to X.

“Could you tell me your name?”

“of course. “My name is X.”

“I remembered X.”

chuck! When Gafis raised his hand, the soldiers lowered their spears.

Garfis extended his hand towards X.

“Ex, I won’t ask you why or how you found Mermaid Island. But if you help us defend Mermaid Island, we mermaids will never forget your help for the rest of our lives.”

Gafis confirms X’s abilities through the little fish’s memories! It was something he had politely asked X for.

《Mermaid Island Defense Battle》

The Fishman Alliance, led by Seahawk, is about to invade Mermaid Island, which will serve as a stepping stone to the surface. The mermaids, who were outnumbered in terms of military power, realized that it was impossible to defend Mermaid Island with their own strength. But you appeared in such a hopeless situation. Win the Mermaid Island defense battle with the mermaids!

Condition: A person who can compete with the Fishman Alliance on equal footing.

Difficulty: A-

Reward: Closeness to mermaids.

X’s pupils dilated as he confirmed the quest.

‘My difficulty level is A-, right?’

Among the quests revealed so far, the highest difficulty was B+ difficulty. But at this moment, Fate’s history has changed.

The first A-difficulty quest!

This means that it is a quest that unconditionally affects Fate World.

X was taking on such a huge quest all by himself.

‘I thought I could only do it in the Ancient Kingdom quests…’

Dominating large quests in unexpected places!

X suppressed his laughter and grabbed Garfis’ hand.

“Please leave it to me. “We will definitely succeed in defending Mermaid Island!”

*

“Wow….”

“Hehe, it’s been hundreds of years since we had a human customer.”

Beautiful Mermaid Island!

Brilliantly shining corals and shells. Just looking at the dazzling mermaids and sea creatures living together was enough to arouse admiration. As soon as X stepped onto Mermaid Island, an alarm rang.

Tiroling!

[You have discovered ‘Mermaid Island’ for the first time in Fate World!]

[Your reputation increases by 500 points!]

[Experience gain near Mermaid Island increases by 20% for 72 hours!]

[Items near Mermaid Island for 72 hours ! The acquisition rate increases by 20 percent!]

X was the first to discover the mermaid island hidden in the sea!

The reward was appropriately terrifying.

X quenched his appetite.

‘Experience and item acquisition rate buff!’

Thanks to his spirit, X had already gained a lot of experience points without penalty.

Moreover, the effect of the heavenly capture is just mouth-watering!

It was like a tiger with wings.

‘Reputation also exceeded 1500.’

1500 is a reputation equivalent to that of a small rural noble.

Even if they are rural nobles, they are definitely nobles.

Even if you don’t wear the Thier family heirloom, you no longer have to be looked down upon.

Gafis’ serious voice continued.

“Mermaid Island is such a beautiful place. That’s why I want to protect it, even with the help of you, a human. “It’s a shame, but our military power is at a poor level.”

“You are humble. “If you look at the muscles, you can tell it’s not normal.”

“Haha, thank you for the compliment. This is not humility. We mermaids have no natural talent for fighting. “As much as I have received blessings from other places, I have no connection there.”

‘…Are you serious?’

Gafis didn’t have a lying face. For a moment, X’s face turned white.

Who would have thought that the mermaids who were supposed to work together to stop the fish-man alliance would not have any talent for fighting.

‘Now that you think about it, you didn’t feel intimidated, right?’

X felt alive even when he met the Abyss Slayer, whom he sent away in just two shots. However, when surrounded by numerous mermaid soldiers. At that time, I was relaxed enough to joke with the little fish.

‘If you think about it, it’s really bad!’

It’s a big deal!

No matter how good he was, facing the Fishman Alliance alone was bound to be a burden. Even if you think it’s worth fighting against individually, you have no choice but to be pushed back if you start to attack each other.

“Sister, look at that! “It has legs!”

“It’s human! “He’s a human man!!”

“How handsome are you?”

Whispering.

The female mermaids whispered when they saw X entering Mermaid Island. Mermaid Island, where the ratio of women is over 70%! Just like the male mermaids, the female mermaids were all beauties. But there is no way X would turn his attention to female mermaids.

X was racking his brain hard.

‘What heavenly dish did you have in your inventory? First of all, a buff that increases strength… and a buff that increases agility are absolutely necessary.’

This is an A-level quest that must be completed.

X was checking his numbers. However, because it was in the sea, there were too many restrictions. The heavenly cuisine that allows you to breathe in the sea only lasts 24 hours…

“Huh?”

A heavenly cooking buff that is not visible in the status window.

But can you breathe? Surprised, X looked around. And only then did I notice the protective shield of Mermaid Island. A mysterious shield that protects living things optimally!

“You can breathe easier…?”

The shield was blocking the water. Even the mermaids who needed water seemed to be free within the protective shield. Gafis, who noticed that X was surprised, said.

“Seeing you breathing underwater… I guess you were probably using magic, right? There will be no need to maintain that magic inside Mermaid Island. “This is an environment closer to the ground than to the sea.”

An environment closer to land than the sea!

That sound felt like a ray of hope to X.

You must defeat the outlaw fishman alliance of the sea with mermaid soldiers whose combat abilities are significantly lower. Because I was able to use a reliable companion on this wide open road of hardship!

‘Yongyong, it’s time to pay for your meal!’

With Yongyong, there is a chance of victory.

No matter how strong the fishman alliance is, they will not be able to be free from the peerage of Yongyongi, the grown hatchling dragon. Even if the Fishman Alliance’s joint attack is pouring in, X and Yongyong have the same chemistry as them.

“These are the soldiers of our Mermaid Island.”

X, who followed Garfis, faced the might of Mermaid Island.

Although they are good-looking, mermaids are far from fighting.

But X showed no signs of disappointment.

X, who was thinking deeply, asked Gafis.

“Gafis, you said earlier that you received blessings from other sources instead of combat power, right?”

“Yeah, I said that. “Our fighting power is poor.”

“Can I know what the blessing you received is? “In order to fight against the Fishman Alliance, we need to use the numbers we have as efficiently as possible.”

“That makes sense.”

Gafis nodded and immediately opened his palm.

Mana flickered in his hands.

“As we mermaids are called the spirits of the sea, we have the ability to protect and communicate with living things. For example, something like this….”

Gooooo! A magic circle appeared in Gafis’ hand.

Soon, the body of the fish outside the Mermaid Island protective shield began to glow.

Gafis had healed the wound.

‘Healing magic!’

And it heals creatures at that distance. Although they had poor combat skills, they were mermaids with excellent recovery magic. X, who understood the mermaids’ strength, made a cool decision.

“Is this something that only soldiers like Garfis can use?”

“no. This is a blessing that every mermaid has. “As long as women, children, and the elderly do not break their will.”

Flash! A strategy came to mind.

The mermaids wait on Mermaid Island, which has a protective shield.

Alone with Yongyong, he receives the mermaids’ recovery magic and confronts the fishman alliance. Although it may seem truly reckless, this was the most efficient way to fight. X can freely play a game by himself while reducing damage!

‘Of course, you can monopolize experience points.’

You have already received experience points and item drop rate buffs for 72 hours.

If you completely destroy the Fishman Alliance, you will be able to gain tremendous experience points and items.

X opened his mouth.

“I fully understand the capabilities of the mermaids. The tactic, then, is simple. I will stand at the forefront. Please use healing magic on me inside the safety of Mermaid Island!”

Gafis was taken aback by X’s words.

“Ah, no matter how confident you are in your skills, fishmen are not usually skilled people. Even if we provide recovery magic, you won’t get far on your own…”

“You’re alone, I’m sorry to hear.”

“?”

dragon?

Questions appeared on the faces of the soldiers, including Gafis, at X’s sudden taunts. But the doubts did not last long. Because X summoned Yongyong.

“Yongyong! It’s time to pay for your meal!”

“Kyuuuuuuuu!”

The one who appeared out of thin air was Yongyong, a hatchling dragon with red skin!

Shock appeared on the faces of the mermaids who saw Yongyong.

Gafis stuttered and took a step back.

“Is this the legendary dragon?”

Munchkin that I eat all by myself
