Chapter 142: The Water God Hunt (2) (2)
Farmer sir, lets give it our all again!
Lyman showed me a fist bump and disappeared into the ship.
The boarding is complete!
Screech.
The airship began to move forward, leaving the goddess statue behind.
[Warning!]
[Manual operation of the airship is now impossible!]
Eloka, stop.
Ugh!
Eloka staggered back, caught by Jenna.
Are you okay?
Someway or another.
Jenna took out a blue potion and brought it to Elokas mouth.
Gulp, gulp.
Bang!
The water dragon leaped tens of meters into the air riding a column of water.
[Ktaart casts Hydro Cannon!]
A blue energy gathered in the monsters mouth.
But this time, the target was not the airship.
This much is!
Crash!
Although the wooden ships mast broke in the center, but it managed to evade the hydro cannon.
Lets move.
I took out a small cylinder from my belt pouch and approached the swaying goddess statue. There was a hole near its bottom.
Click.
It fits perfectly.
[Oxygen Supply Device activated!]
Is it time for the counterattack?
Exactly.
I opened my pouch.
Inside the small glass bottle, a translucent white liquid was contained.
Five bottles in total. They were mermaids tears.
Drink it.
I opened a bottle for myself and drank without hesitation.
[Han() is blessed with Mermaids Blessing!]
[The effect of the Oxygen Supply Device is activated. Duration is now infinite!]
[Jenna()]
[Eloka()]
I looked back at Katiio.
Take the airship to the center of the field.
We had to keep as far away as possible from the defensive side.
Just keep the airship safe while we dive.
Understood.
The airship rocked slightly.
[Capitalisms High-Speed Navigation Device activated!]
Boom!
The airship darted forward, scattering intense foam.
Good, follow us quietly then.
Roar!
[Water Dragon Ktaart roars.]
[The Majesty of the Deity gathers!]
[Monster Wave!]
[Man-Eating Shark Lv.33] X 105
[Mermaid Lv.37] X 80
[Baby Water Dragon Lv.34] X 53
[Grown Water Dragon Lv.39] X 74
[Kraken Lv.41]
As expected.
Monsters from all over the field began to converge.
Their target was the direction where the goddess statue was installed.
Ediss voice reached me.
I smiled and replied, I trust you.
I brought my hand to my ear.
There was no longer a need to communicate.
The airship reached the middle of the waters.
Rumble!
The water dragon was scattering water left and right as it followed.
Are you ready?
Yes.
Of course!
Absolutely.
Ready.
I nodded.
Wait, take this.
I caught the object Katiio threw.
A small glass bottle containing a white liquid.
Mermaids tears. I made it since we had the ingredients. Theres only one bottle, though.
A spare, just in case.
It seemed unlikely wed need it, but I put the potion in my pouch.
Lets go.
Splash!
We dived into the water.
Amidst the boiling bubbles, the water dragons red eyes glinted menacingly.
I spread my palm, signaling to form up.
Me and Velkist at the front, Neryssa and Jenna in the middle, Eloka at the rear.
I took a deep breath.
Sweet air filled my lungs.
Lets start.
I drew my Bifrost sword.
Then, I kicked off to the left and advanced.
The water dragons forelimb swung at me.
Well block it from the front.
Elokas chanting had already begun.
Thus, we couldnt let the water dragon go easily. I gripped the sword hilt tightly and slashed upward.
Thud!
The claw and the sword blade collided.
A heavy sound followed, and I was flung backward.
Meanwhile, Velkist thrust his sword between the dragons scales.
Red blood scattered from between the scales.
Were inflicting damage.
Everything was going as planned.
I was to first block the dragons charge, followed by Velkist, then Neryssa, and finally, Jenna would stop the dragon. Meanwhile,
!
Flames danced in Elokas eyes.
Near the dragons chest, bubbles began to rise.
Boom!
Flames erupted.
Flesh and blood dispersed in the water.
The water dragon writhed in agony.
I held up two fingers.
Attack all at once. Velkist pushed me from behind.
Gaining momentum, I struck at the wriggling dragons neck. Jenna followed with an arrow, and Neryssa pulled her crossbow.
The dragon thrashed violently.
The surging water pushed me away, but I was accustomed to resisting the flow from practice.
Its not difficult.
If only we could know in advance that this boss would appear, it might even be easier than other levels.
[Ktaart casts Triple Hydro Cannon!]
Blue magic gathered in the dragons mouth.
The target was Eloka, who was preparing magic. I quickly turned back.
After taking a deep breath and gathering strength throughout my body,
Boom!
A hydro cannon shot out from the dragons mouth.
I positioned my sword in front, managing to deflect the first hydro cannon. Velkist blocked the second, and Neryssa and Jenna cooperated to stop the third.
!
Boom!
The dragons tail was severed in an explosion.
Perhaps the aim was off, but it was certainly hit.
I sliced through the dragons fins as I passed by.
Well finish it off this way.
If the initial magic hit its mark.
Before it could recover, we would attack all at once to end it quickly.
After retrieving the key, the mission would be complete.
I approached the waters surface, passing by the dragon.
The other parties were struggling against the monsters. As Edis had assured, there was no significant crisis. Even the 3rd Party, prone to seasickness, was performing well on board.
This is all it takes.
I dove deep again and approached the dragon.
It was coiled up, silently.
?
What is he doing?
Eloka was casting magic.
If he leaves her alone, he might suffer a fatal wound.
!
Elokas third flame magic.
This time, no explosion occurred. Instead, the dragons chest swelled visibly. Flames churned inside it.
The dragon moved towards the surface.
I followed with my sword ready.
If it tried to flee, I would finish it.
Boom!
The dragon leaped, scattering a column of water.
Its jaws opened wide.
[Ktaart casts Hydro Cannon!]
A hydro cannon?
This is!
I clenched my teeth.
Edis!
Turn the ship, now!
Flames spewed from the dragons mouth, grazing the distant ships side.
Fwoosh.
Ah.
