Chapter 141: The Water God Hunt (1) (1)
Bubbling.
Bubbles were dancing and twirling on the water.
Inside the swimming pool, Eloka was looking at her target with tense eyes.
Her hand moved.
Crack!
Flas burst from the chest of the wooden doll, turning it into ashes in an instant.
The blue fla, not satisfied with just burning the doll, flickered in the water for a few seconds before disappearing.
Phew!
Eloka erged to the surface.
She had a face full of pride.
How about that! Its perfect even underwater.
The firepower seems a bit weak?
I deliberately controlled it. The target is small, after all. Itll be different in actual combat.
What about the magic efficiency?
I can manage up to three tis. After that, Ill need to drink a potion.
Seeing that I didnt respond, Eloka looked at
anxiously with a changed expression.
Its weaker than expected.
The fla magic I saw on the 20th floor wasnt like this.
Even in a near-death state, it swallowed a black dragon of several ters in size in one gulp.
Well, still, if its at this level, its passable.
It seed like it could land an effective hit on the water dragon.
She also confidently assured that she would increase the firepower in actual combat.
So were going together, right?
When have I ever said we werent?
Youve tricked
a couple of tis.
Even if you dont like it, Ill take you, so stop worrying.
Eloka gave a playful laugh and then got out of the pool.
I looked around.
Velkist was slashing the straw doll in the water.
Sohow, that guy had also grown to be able to do his part.
The preparations are almost complete.
The red circle was already covering the entire sea area.
By tomorrow evening at the latest, the hunt would begin.
That evening, I called Edis with Iselles power.
Hows it going?
The third party was a group of beastn.
It was Kishashas party.
Race trait.
Indeed.
They have superior physical abilities compared to ordinary humans on land but receive penalties in other aspects.
It wasnt too far-fetched considering the rules of Pick
Up.
Then stop teaching them how to swim. Itd be better to help them get rid of seasickness.
I nodded.
It seed like Edis was doing a good job.
If we had more parties, excluding the third party would be the answer, but we dont have the force to do that right now.
We had to bring them no matter what. After all, we could fight even on the ship. I continued the conversation.
The call will co soon. Be ready and join imdiately. This field is.
I shared the characteristics of the field I had deduced with her.
The target of the subjugation was the giant water dragon. Edis was surprised to hear that it wasnt affected by attacks above water, but she cald down as the explanation continued.
Probably.
That was just an accident.
Responding to Ediss determined words, I laughed and replied.
Lets end the call here.
After I gestured, Iselle withdrew her hand.
Iselle wiped the sweat from her forehead.
[Phew!]
Good work.
[Its nothing. Loki, you can finish this mission in one go, right?]
What are you talking about? If I cant finish it in one go, Ill die.
[Thats true.]
Iselle coughed a couple of tis and then looked at the door.
[It seems like soone is outside.]
Knock knock.
Soone knocked on the door.
After Iselle disappeared into the light, soone opened the door and ca in.
It was Priasis.
Are you busy?
I was just about to go to bed.
Sorry if I woke you.
I grabbed Priasiss wrist as she was about to leave.
Good timing. I had sothing to ask.
Priasis hesitated for a mont and then looked at her wrist.
I belatedly withdrew my hand. Priasis sat down on the bed.
Ask away.
The ultimate goal of this mission isnt to subdue the water dragon.
Its to find the key. The water dragon is just an obstacle to that search.
It seems youll have to stay inside the ship this ti.
Ive heard that story about a hundred tis.
Well find the key. Just tell us its approximate location and what it looks like.
After a mont of hesitation, Priasis ticulously inford
about the key.
I engraved the location and image of the key in my mind.
And the next day.

After a sowhat unfamiliar screen passed, Anytng entered the main nu.
I looked around.
The weather was clear without a single cloud.
All mbers of the first party were gathered on the deck.
Are you all ready?
Weve done as much as we can, right, sis?
Of course. I wont have any regrets. Maybe.
Eloka trailed off as she looked at Katiio.
If youre not confident, mage, you can drop out.
Shut up.
Velkist gave a sneaky laugh and continued to polish his sword with a cloth.
Ill distribute the potions. Drink them when I signal.
One bottle per person.
I handed out the Tears of a rmaid to the mbers.
Neryssas share was to be kept by . After reminding everyone of their positions and roles underwater, I looked to my right. Anytng was finalizing preparations for the sortie.
[1st Assault Team (Small) is being ford.]
[Party Composition
2nd Party, 3rd Party, 4th Party, 5th Party]
[Total Heroes
20]
[Leader of the Expedition
Edis()]
Edis was the leader of this missions expedition.
Being underwater, it would be difficult for
to oversee the overall combat situation. I wouldnt have the luxury to command either.
It was a sensible choice.
Anytng continued with the operation.
The Start Hunting button at the bottom of the screen was flashing white.
