Chapter 59: Montary Thoughts Part 7 Part 1
Apparently the hole bent at so point and from a falling motion we shifted into a sliding motion about halfway through it, only to erge from it at the very end at a moderately high speed. But other than that,
「Die, you asshole!」
「Augh, that’s right! What was that you were saying out there!?」
Since I didn’t want to taint my na in red I limited myself to so verbal abuse and scolding, but apparently Katsu, like the pro-gar he is, did not bother with that in the slightest.
「Honestly…… If this wasn’t ShanFro, you’d be so dead by now……」
「If this wasn’t ShanFro, I do believe I would be handing you your own ass on a silver platter.」
「Right, please stop it, you two! Let’s try to get along!」
Hahaha, that’s what I would like to say. Don’t worry Emul, if we were really hostile towards one another, we would have already killed each other a bunch of tis over.
「So this is the hidden area that Pencilgton was talking about, right? The “Underground Lake of Tears”?」
Ahead of us we could see a huge underground lake that was emitting a slight bluish glow. It was a pretty sight and we could feel so real fantasy vibes coming off of it. This was the hidden area that Pencilgton directed us towards, one that we could apparently do so serious power leveling: “Underground Lake of Tears” inside the Ancient Ruins.
「Apparently we can do so power leveling here simply by fishing, but…… I have my doubts about that……」
「Oh well, let’s try to catch so fish for now and see if it’s really going to net us sothing nice.」
Personally, I’m not all that good at fishing gas…… No, it’s because fishing was almost always a mandatory side quest in various sh*tty gas and more often than not it was so realistic that it was just too tedious to keep motivated.
But there were also so exceptions to the rule. Like, one ti I even managed to catch a blue whale on a fishing rod without breaking as much of a sweat. How was that possible? Don’t ask . The only thing I can say is that: that’s sh*tty gas for you.
「Hey, it seems like I managed to catch sothing!」
「The disparity between our luck is too big, I tell you!」
「No, seriously, I caught sothing just now!」
Fuhaha, it seems that the Gods of Luck are on my side yet again! While I managed to catch a sixth fish at this point, Katsu was still left with none. Fishing…… it might actually be quite enjoyable when you get down to it.
· Sweet Water Salmon
A salmon that lives in sweet waters. Its at restores physical strength of the eater and its eggs can beco an excellent magic catalyst.
A mandatory elent of a healthy diet.
Even though the fish itself looked like a light-emitting cocoon, the flavor text provided a more than sufficient explanation. And since at our ho we ate salmon pretty frequently because of my father’s hobby, I really enjoyed its taste.
「Isn’t that high Luck of yours letting you catch way too many fish?」
「It’s not Luck only. I had soone who taught a lot about fishing as well.」
My Father was almost like an oracle when it cos to fishing, being able to catch anything from a simple slt all the way up to a swordfish. Before I got hooked on video gas I really enjoyed going on fishing trips with him, but now that I really think about it, it must have been a part of his plan to pull into the fishing world for real……
「Right, I think I’ve had enough fishing for now……」
「Sanraku-san, what’s that thing over there?」
「What thing? W, whoa, it can float on the water’s surface?」
It appears that a monster of so sort has co out to play. Seeing that, both Katsu and I put our fishing rods into our inventories and switched into combat mode. In the next mont sothing ca out from beneath the water’s surface, causing a huge pillar of water to erupt.
「Is, is that a huge water serpent!?」
「It’s here! It’s the Sweet Water Serpent!」
So this is what Pencilgton ant when he called this thing an “EXP Tank”…… But in that case, the word tank does not refer to the armored vehicle but rather to that huge container!
「It’s so long! This feels sowhat unreal, don’t you think!」
「So maybe it’s an eel rather than serpent?」
「Is that what you’re concerned about right now!?」
No, it was definitely a sea serpent, but it also had horns, long fangs and hard scales. So it was sothing even nastier than a sea serpent, in all honesty. However, I had a feeling that it was more of a dragon than anything else.
The first attack that cos into mind when it cos to serpents is that it would try to thrust its long body at us and try to bite us. However, we can easily avoid such an attack if we step to the side so there is no problem there.
「Right, let’s check its attack patterns a little bit before we move in for the kill…… “Black”!」
「Don’t try to hog it all to yourself, Katsu! I want to try so new weapons while we’re at it!」
Since my Vorpal Knives were remodeled, I couldn’t use them for now due to both level and stat restrictions. This ant that I was stuck with the weapons that I had order made all the way back at Sekandil, a pair of Swamp Daggers that I haven’t really touched ever since then. However, Break offered that she could strengthen so of my stuff for if I really wanted to, so that problem sorted itself out.
I even went as far as breaking down a few materials at Rabbitz and used their components to strengthen the Swamp Daggers even further, so they should be able to deal a reasonable amount of damage as they are now.
「Behold! My newest weapons! Twin Swords of the Empire Bee!」
「Hyah!! Such a cool na!」
Those blades were really slender overall…… The right sword was made out of the components extracted from Empire Queen Bee, and looked like an estoc that could break at any mont if you were to swing it with all of your might. But because of that its visuals were also on a higher end of the spectrum.
In contrast to that, the left one was short and resembled a dagger in a lot of ways, but instead of attacking it was used mostly for parrying. Even though the sa materials from the Empire Queen Bee were used in its creation, its attack stats and purpose were fundantally different from its counterpart.
Personally, those weapons right now are my personal favorites.
「So I see that you’re going to contribute to the fight as well, huh?」
Since there was so kind of disparity in our levels, the situation turned out as follows: Katsu ended up focusing the enemy’s aggro on himself and began to flee, while I was going to use every single opportunity that I was going to have to land so damage onto the sea serpent.
「Now, let show you the unlimited power of my critical hits!」
I plunge my right-handed weapon into the serpent’s side with the effect of the Spiral Edge skill.
But that’s not all. Both weapons have different effects on them, and it so happens that the right one has another trick up its sleeve aside from high critical chance and piercing attacks.
「GYAAAH!?」
「I see, so Luukan…… Who would have thought that you possess such a strong ability by default?」
