Chapter 136: Storms And Tsunami (2) (1)

As the giant jaws closed, the flesh and blood of the Kraken poured out like a waterfall.

The creature, having bitten into the writhing Kraken, shook its head from side to side before tossing it aside.

Splash!

Soon, the Krakens corpse floated to the surface.

Its flesh and innards were torn apart, leaving a gruesome sight.

Isnt this the 33rd floor? Why all of a sudden!

Jenna panicked as she drew her longbow.

I inspected beneath the ship. The creature that had turned the Kraken into meat chunks in an instant had returned to the sea and was now swimming beneath us. A black shadow moved in an octagonal pattern on the water.

A boss appears on the 33rd floor?

It was an anomaly.

I bit my lip in frustration.

We were utterly unprepared for this encounter.

[The mission type has been changed.]

[Mission Type Escape]

[Objective Flee from the danger zone!]

[Special Objective Survive Priasis Al Ragna]

How do we deal with that thing?

Velkist muttered.

I looked at the mission window.

The updated objective wasnt to subjugate.

I felt somewhat relieved.

We dont have to fight it. We run!

How are we going to run?

With the ship.

Thud!

The ship tilted sharply to the left.

Whoa!

Sliding noises.

All sorts of objects on the deck slid to one side.

One of the sailors adjusting the sails lost his footing and fell overboard. He didnt even have time to scream.

Damn!

I clung to the railing.

Crash!

The ship that had tilted to the left found its balance again.

Boom!

An explosion of water shot up.

Suddenly it appeared.

Tens of meters in length, the creature had a body shaped like an eel.

Gleaming with blue scales the Water Dragon roared.

Kuooooo!

[Water Dragon Ktaart roars.]

[Blessing of the Water God has been applied!]

This doesnt look good.

Velkist muttered again.

Yeah, were screwed.

But.

I cant die here.

I drew my sword and shouted.

This isnt a fight. We dont need to fight!

With an eerie laugh, the Water Dragon dove back into the sea.

I turned to Priasis, who was whining beside me.

We need to get out of here as quickly as possible. Take the helm.

Is that possible? The wind is not favorable!

I looked up at the mast.

Whoosh! The sail was flapping wildly.

But the wind direction was erratic. The situation was not suitable for sailing.

Damn

Thud!

The deck shook violently, possibly hit by the Water Dragon.

Seawater poured onto the deck.

If this continued, the ship would sink.

Oppa, how do we counterattack? It seems to be attacking from underwater!

Dont think about counterattacking.

Diving into the sea in an attempt to fight back would quickly turn us into shark bait.

Then, what?

We have to run.

It was an absurdly unfair mission, but there must be a way to overcome it.

I looked at Priasis.

Is there any special device on this ship?

That

Priasis furrowed her brow.

There is. Ive searched the ship.

Katiio approached the helm and fiddled with a pillar.

It seems like an old airship that was converted into a sailing ship. Its possible for a short time.

What is possible?

High-speed sailing.

Katiio pressed a red button above the helm.

[Nautilus high-speed sailing device is activated!]

Vroom!

A strange sense of buoyancy was felt, and the ship started to move forward quickly.

Ill take the helm. The escort target is

No, you prepare to summon the airship.

What?

We wont last long.

Kuoooooo!

A second roar from the Water Dragon followed.

[Water Dragon Ktaart roars.]

[The weather changes dramatically!]

[Monster Wave!]

[Mermaid Lv.33] X 32

[Baby Water Dragon Lv.39] X 5

[Water Dragon Ktaart casts Storm Surge!]

The whole ship began to shake.

Waves several meters high surged like a tsunami.

Kwaaaaa!

The Water Dragon chased the ship, streaming columns of water.

Take the helm!

Remembering that the helmsman had fallen into the sea, I shouted to Priasis.

Priasis nodded and took the helm.

Thud!

A tail emerged in front of the bow.

The ship turned to the right. The rain mixed with the strong wind slapped my face.

The attack came entirely from underwater.

With no effective countermeasure ready, the system had designated survival as the mission objective.

Human! Humaaan! Kyaaaa! Kill

An arrow pierced the forehead of a Mermaid climbing over the railing.

Finally, theres something for me to do.

Velkist swept back his wet bangs and drew his sword.

He ran towards the railing. Behind him, Jenna loaded her bow and said,

Be careful not to fall off.

Easy for you to say.

The head of the Mermaid was cleanly sliced off.

To think Im learning to steer the ship here Ugh!

I caught Priasis as she staggered.

Th-thank you.

Its going to be hard to shake him off.

The Water Dragon was faster than the sailing ship.

A sailor ran up to Priasis.

Theres a hole in the bottom of the ship. Water is

How long can we last?

Uh, maybe 10 minutes

Han! What should we do?

Was this a trap mission from the start?
