Chapter 142: The Water God Hunt (2) (1)
Holding the statue of the goddess, I surveyed the opposite side where the airship and the water dragon were engaged in a chase over the swirling waves.
First, we need to regroup.
I crossed to the other side of the waves and dashed across the waters surface, ignoring the monsters that gathered. There was no ti to look back.
With a loud crash, I slid down as if sliding on ice, narrowly avoiding a water cannon shot over my head, powerful enough to sting my entire face. Had it hit directly, my head would have been obliterated.
Over there! I pointed towards the outskirts of the field, a place where the water was still gently rippling. After hitting the water dragon with several ballista bolts, the airship moved towards the designated location. I increased my speed as well.
A rman lunged at
from beneath the water with a spear, but I caught it with my left hand and yanked it, pulling the rman out of the water. Both the rman and the spear were sliced in half.
With two leaps, I landed on the deck of the airship, which began to move again.
Did you secure the item?
Here it is. I placed the statue of the goddess down.
Quite the sight to behold, Velkist remarked with a click of his tongue.
After securing the goddess statue to the railing with a rope, I surveyed the nearby waters. Since it was a deployable object, positioning was crucial, especially for a defensive battle. I also examined the control window of Anytng.
A rectangular field, huh?
Then, the best strategy would be to place it near a corner rather than the center to avoid having to defend from all sides.
[Master, 1st Partys leader, Han(), suggests to cancel the manual driving. Do you accept?]
Anytng hesitated for a mont but then made a decision.
[Yes(Select) / No]
Good.
Katiio, you take the helm now. Drive this airship to the farthest corner of the field. Well install the goddess statue there.
Got it.
Katiio obediently entered the cockpit, and the airship started moving at a slightly slower pace. I grabbed the left ballista and diligently fired arrows at the pursuing water dragon.
[Blessing of the Deity activated!]
[The monster is immune to physical damage!]
[The monster is immune to physical damage!]
[The monster is immune to physical damage]
Although I couldnt inflict damage, it was possible to slow down its pursuit. I spared no effort in firing the ballista.
After about a minute,
Thump!
The prow of the ship hit sothing. It was a signal indicating to us that there was no further passage; it was a transparent wall.
I turned to look at Eloka, who stepped forward with a stern expression as the water dragon approached, coiling around in front of us.
I can do this.
Eloka muttered and then,
Inflare! rge!
Elokas dress fluttered as a fla, akin to the sun, erupted right in front of the water dragon.
[Blessing of the Deity activated!]
[The monster is immune to magic!]
[The monster is immune to magic!]
[The monster is immune to magic]
Elokas magic bought us so ti. I grabbed the goddess statue and went below deck.
Then,
[Installation of the goddess statue complete!]
[Blessing of the Goddess is activated throughout the field!]
Everythings going according to plan.
I opened the door and headed inside the ship, rushing down to the third floor.
[Dinsional summoning stone activated!]
[Master, reinforcents can now be deployed.]
[Extend a helping hand to the heroes in crisis!]
Anytng moved the screen.
[Selecting reinforcents.]
[Designated Party
1st Party (in battle), 2nd Party, 3rd Party]
[2nd Party selected.]
[mbers
Edis(), Roderick()]
[Deploy on the mission?]
[Yes(Select) / No]
I opened the door to the waiting room, where heroes from the 2nd Party were being summoned one by one on the red magic circle.
Han.
Edis approached .
I nodded and then spoke.
We dont have much ti. Listen carefully.
I had explained the basic details yesterday.
I inford them of the current situation and what the reinforcents needed to do.
Well defend the goddess statue on the ship, right?
Thats right. Take Priasis with you.
Ill do my best!
A new mber of the 2nd Party shouted enthusiastically.
I said, Head straight to the deck. A ship will be summoned.
I had already handed over the model ship to Jenna.
[Ding!]
[Jenna() has used Wooden Model Ship.]
[Combat dium Ship is summoned!]
Shes doing well.
It seed she had figured out how to use it on her own.
The 2nd Party left the waiting room.
[Selecting reinforcents.]
[Designated Party
1st Party (in battle), 2nd Party (in battle), 3rd Party]
[3rd Party selected.]
[mbers
Kishasha(), Lakari()]
[Deploy on the mission?]
[Yes(Select) / No]
The 3rd Party was deployed.
I hate water.
Their expressions were grim.
Kishasha sighed and then approached .
I heard about the situation from the human woman. Ill head out imdiately.
Im counting on you.
This battle, Ill leave it to you.
The beastn left the waiting room.
Summoning ssages continued for the 4th and 5th Parties.
I noticed so unfamiliar faces, likely new recruits.
Sorry for being late.
Neryssa was the last to co out.
Whats there to be sorry about? Hurry up.
Yes.
Neryssa and I left the waiting room together and ran back to the deck.
As expected.
Next to the airship, a wooden ship large enough to easily exceed 10 ters was rocking.
A small bridge had been set up between the two ships, and heroes from different affiliations, including Priasis, were transferring under Ediss command.
Farr sir, lets give it our all again!
Lyman showed
a fist bump and disappeared into the ship.
The boarding is complete!
