Solo Max-Level Newbie - Chapter 418
Episode 418. Departure (2)
The maximum time for the Guild Alliance to deal with Gigant Dalos was about 6 hours.
All battles must be completed within it.
Cuckoo coo!
Jinhyeok started sailing at full speed.
The ship cut through the waves and stretched forward without hesitation.
The rest of the members checked their armaments and prepared for the upcoming landing.
Right then.
“Lord!”
Jinhyeok’s shadow shook, and in an instant, a blue sword surged up.
Kwadeuk! Perpuck!
Arrows glowing green split in the air.
It was Wolyeong, who was escorting Jinhyeok in the shadow.
“What? There are no ships around? Where did they come from?”
“There is no movement detected even on the radar.”
Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min hurriedly looked around at the unexpected surprise.
But there was nothing in sight.
“…in the water.”
Elise looked down at the rolling waves.
If you weren’t paying attention, you would never have noticed.
Clearly, there was something holding a strange-looking weapon in the water.
“A mermaid.”
Jinhyeok answered instead.
“Hoho. Are you saying that such people really exist? Oh, there are all sorts of things. This place called the tower. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a human who can live underwater.”
Then there are all sorts of really special things.
For example, a stupid vampire…
a housekeeper who is obsessed with snacking… a
housemate who gets into K-drama and doesn’t come out of the blanket when he goes outside the tower, etc.
Jinhyeok glanced at Alice.
“Somehow I don’t like that look. Contractor.”
“No, I just thought that I was lucky to have a reliable colleague with whom I could be with for the rest of my life. Seriously.”
“…stretch, for the rest of your life!?”
Alice’s face instantly turned red.
His voice also trembled slightly.
“It’s not hehe… but hehe, hehe! Yes, Jim is somewhat reassuring by nature. Seeing the truth, he doesn’t seem to get seasick. Our contractor will protect Jim for the rest of his life. So, don’t go anywhere. Contractor ? Huh? Answer me. Hey! Answer me!”
Alice was talking hard on the sidelines, but Jinhyeok just stared at the sea.
“Master, what should I do? If you give me an order, I will cut down the one who dared to target you.”
Wolyeong took a posture to jump into the sea at any moment.
“It’s okay, leave it alone. They must have felt that they couldn’t help it at their level with the things they just did.”
“…I understand. If that’s what your lord really wants. But, it’s a bit unexpected. I heard that mermaids usually try to keep their distance from humans.”
Whoa. Do you think Wolyeong knows about mermaids?
Moorim’s intelligence department, which was expected to be surprisingly closed, seems to be aware of the other floors one after another.
“That’s true… but the guys who live here are pretty evil. If you’re a human, you’ll want to kill every single one you see.”
Mermaids are one of the most sacred species due to their unique beauty and mystery.
However, the residents here did not respect it and rather trampled it.
They considered mermaids to be nice pets and began to capture them at random.
They also often plundered their treasures.
Hunting has been going on for hundreds of years.
‘As a result, the disposition of the mermaids has deteriorated a lot.’
The peaceful nature has long since disappeared.
In that place, he was filled with anger and hatred towards himself who had been reduced to a toy.
It is said that this kind of thing will continue on this floor forever.
Jinhyeok looked at the mermaid staring at him.
I could see her green eyes glowing faintly.
“let’s go.”
Unraveling the tangled threads with the mermaids was necessary, though.
But not right now.
Jinhyeok spurred on again towards his destination.
* * *
A gigantic Skull Island towering over the open sea.
The largest pirate group on the 29th floor was located here.
They are called ‘Pain Pirates’.
A group of scumbags who would do anything for money.
and.
The one who led them was a man named ‘Copse’.
“…What is this, heavy ass man doing to us?”
Cobbs played with his long black beard.
A fat hamster stood in front of him.
It was ‘Alluti’, the middle manager who manages the 29th floor.
boom boom!
The pirates around them couldn’t hide their tension.
Of course, it is inconvenient to have a middle manager who appears once in 10 years.
“Squeak! Squeak! I’m going to do one request.”
“A request… We believe you know that the price is a little high. So. What kind of request? What is that request?”
“A troublesome human is coming here. His name is Kang Jin-hyeok. He’s a player who’s been making a name for himself recently.”
“Ohh. Did the manager step out because of just one player?”
“It’s not just one player. So far, countless tower dwellers and boss monsters have been destroyed because of that one guy.”
“Chucky! It looks like he has quite a taste for his hands. It would be nice if I could wipe off some of the rust on the barrel after a while.”
Cobbs pulled out a matchlock pistol decorated with colorful patterns.
“Even from above, they are watching with interest. You must never fail. Shoot.”
“Hey. Yeah yeah~. Don’t worry too much. No matter how much you fly and crawl, that’s on land. At sea, you’re no match for me. Isn’t that right, guys?”
“Of course. Chuck.”
“I will drown this guy named Kang Jin-hyeok and all the crew members on that ship in the sea.”
“How dare you come to the territory of the Pain Pirates. Let’s take off the skin and hang it on the mast.”
The pirates giggled and drew their weapons.
“Above all, I have the ‘Saint Relic of the Sea’. This means that this Corps holds all three relics, including the one I stole from the mermaids.”
A stair-specific holy relic.
I collected all the most effective relics on the 29th floor, including the Matchlock Pistol.
It wasn’t for nothing that all the residents on this floor couldn’t touch the Pain Pirates.
“Squeak squeak. Yes, it’s strong.”
Alluti nibbled at the sunflower seeds.
“But, I’ll take out some insurance just in case. It’s not that the suspected disease has healed, but this is just as important.”
“Insurance, what do you mean?”
“Among the players, there’s someone who came over to our side. Take a shot! Now, let’s introduce you.”
Alluti nodded to the side.
Then, a man and a woman who were soaked all over came approaching me.
They were players from the Nirasha and Gandhara guilds.
Nirasha, who moved to the island through Alluti’s large-scale space-shifting magic, was unable to control herself due to anger and shame.
“Even if the damn guy didn’t wake up the sea dragon…”
“Squeak! It’s okay. It’s true he caught me off guard, but it’s also true that the rest of the players were tied up because of it.
” I wouldn’t have been able to calculate it.
It would be the deceased person corporation that fell into the trap.
A fishy smile formed on Alluti’s lips.
* * *
Cuckoo coo!
The White Pearl cut through the waves and moved forward quickly.
An island that began to be visible in the distance. It was not long before we reached our destination.
But….
After all, things don’t go so smoothly.
“They came like cockroaches.”
Chun Youseong grabbed Ryuhwa’s handle.
Even the ships in front were easily over forty.
“You have to pierce that to be able to land on the shore.”
Elise also looked at the enemy’s strength and added a word.
Wooduk!
“What are you hesitating about?
Yoo Yeon-hwa was wearing the gauntlet before she knew it, as if her body was itchy.
‘As expected, Cops is waiting inside the island.’
Jinhyeok’s pupils moved quickly.
A flag symbolizing the captain.
An 8-star ship called the Moving Island was also nowhere to be seen.
‘I didn’t even send out all the fleet I had.’
This means that more than half of the power is saved.
According to his original personality, he is not the type to buy himself.
Being at the forefront and biting like a mad dog was his way of fighting.
Even so, the fact that he is conserving himself like this…
…is dragging out time.
middle manager. No, in order to follow orders far above that.
‘In the end, it sounds like a time attack.’
Which one’s prepared spear will be sharper and faster.
Predicting more variables and setting up a backup plan accordingly will decide the outcome of this fight.
Whoops!
Two pairs of swords appeared in Jinhyeok’s hands.
“Taemin.”
“Yes, brother.”
“We have to protect the ship at all costs. Elise will help with the anti-aircraft defense, but we have to rely on you for the whole thing anyway.”
No matter how fraudulent Elise’s ‘Blood Road’ is, it can’t cover all of the countless shells and melee with countless enemies.
Aside from the issue of horsepower supply, the difference in troops was overwhelming.
“Hyung. I’m Indaenam. I’m Indaenam who cleared the labyrinth with Sollo.”
human bald man.
The ID of a deceased person who once shared the joys and sorrows came out.
okay.
A melee master who burned all the bugs and cosplayed as Cesco.
In a fight between the few and the many, Lee Tae-min would be able to trust him and entrust him with the work.
food.
Jinhyuk smiled warmly.
Right then.
“come.”
Chun Yuseong swung his sword like lightning.
Pew!
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam!
Red heat waves scattered from the cannonballs that had been cut in half.
“The welcome celebration is splendid. Then, let’s start by sorting out the things blocking the way.”
The battle has begun.
The sky filled with cannonballs and various magics aimed at the White Pearl without a break.
However, Lee Tae-min’s drones and various defense devices installed on the ship did not allow a single hit.
“How dare you shoot dirty things at anything?”
Adding skewers made of Elise’s blood to it, a mobile fortress floating on the sea was completed.
Defense is good enough.
Took.
Jinhyeok, who jumped on a foothold made using ‘glacial molding’, boarded the pirate ship approaching from the lead at once.
A dozen pirates were already seated on the deck.
“Are you Kang Jin-hyeok? I am the 3rd Battalion of the Pain Pirates… Big!?”
The muscular man who was talking hurriedly blocked himself with an axe.
Caang!
It was because Jinhyeok, who approached in the blink of an eye, attacked.
“You’re a guy who has no culture. To say aloud and then attack by surprise.”
“Um… If we’re going to talk about culture, shouldn’t we change that face first?”
“What, what?”
“Right now, water is all over the ground, so try washing your face first. If possible, rub your teeth with something like a brush. That way, I’ll be able to have a conversation like a civilized person.”
I knew he was a pirate, but I couldn’t tell if he was a human or a monster just by looking at his appearance. The man in
front of me who taught the orc well the language and manners of a human might be the final one. ” Ah
… by any chance, if you’re aiming for a heart attack with that face, you’d think so…”
“That bastard. Be sure to catch them alive. I’m going to rip out your tongue.”
“Yes? …yes. yes. Captain. I understand.”
At this point, even the superficial ostentation that had been spread out has no choice but to disappear
