Chapter 143: The Water God Hunt (3) (2)
Edis answered reluctantly.
I cut off the communication.
Hey.
If youre going to mourn your fate, save it for later.
But!
I pulled Eloka by the back of her neck.
Our faces ca closer.
I decided to put you on this mission. Ill take the responsibility.
I forced you into this!
No one can force .
Elokas eyes wavered.
I smiled slyly and then released my hold on Eloka.
Eloka slumped over the water as if drained of strength.
Take it sowhere else.
Jenna muttered.
W-What are you talking about.
Eloka backed away, flustered.
I laughed and then said.
You seem to have spare energy.
Shut up.
Good. The three of us will finish the mission.
How?
Look at the mission window.
I looked to the right of my vision.
The missions objective window was displayed.
[Floor 35.]
[Mission Type
Plunder]
[Objective
???]
[Special Objective
NPC Priasis Al Ragnas Survival]
Plunder or capture.
Not extermination.
It ant we didnt necessarily have to beat the water dragon.
Probably the water dragon is just a mid-boss.
A guardian of the place where the key is located, sothing like that.
Then.
Just ignore it, steal the key, and hand it over to Priasis.
The standard would be to hunt the water dragon and then enter the key storage, but now that was no longer an option.
[The altar capture has been released!]
[The goddesss blessing is lifted!]
Survivors on the airship escaped the area.
Monsters were swarming around the statue of the goddess. Recapturing it was difficult. To retake a territory once lost, in principle, several tis the force was needed. Moreover, monsters were also swarming towards the airship.
[rmaids Tears]
[Oxygen Concentration
100%]
A ti limit, huh.
We had to drive into the water within a set ti, steal the key, and return.
I explained my plan to them. I knew the approximate location of the key. I had heard about it several tis from Priasis.
Can we do it?
We have no choice.
Thats true.
Then we must!
Jenna rolled up her sleeves.
Eloka also hardened her expression.
Both seed to have made up their minds.
I nodded and then took a deep breath.
And dove deep into the water.
The boss was injured.
Although we lost the statue of the goddess, we still had a chance to win.
I moved my arms and legs, gliding through the blue waves.
Jenna and Eloka followed behind .
At the bottom of the sea, theres a temple where blue light twinkles.
I recalled Priasiss words.
[Oxygen Concentration
93%]
Oxygen is being consud quickly.
A huge shadow appeared in the water.
The water dragon. It had shown up as expected. The wound on its chest that had been ragged was halfway healed.
Swoosh!
Jenna imdiately drew her bow.
The streamlined arrowhead lodged into its scales.
Kuuooooo!
The water dragon roared and approached us.
I gestured to the two of them.
Ignore it, that was the ssage.
They nodded and briskly moved their feet.
We can shake it off.
It wasnt as fast as before.
Its tail and fins were torn.
I put strength into my arms and legs and moved forward.
[Oxygen Concentration
73%]
At the bottom of the sea.
The blue light twinkled.
It was clearly visible even from a distance.
Bubble bubble.
Jenna grabbed my collar and pointed behind us.
I turned my head.
[rmaid Lv.38] X 32
A group of rmaids was approaching.
I turned my body sideways. A harpoon whizzed past.
Ignore them.
The two nodded.
We dodged the harpoons skillfully and moved towards the bottom of the sea.
[Oxygen Concentration
43%]
A huge temple subrged in water revealed itself.
Of all places, here.
The depth was nearly five hundred ters.
Not a place to dive carelessly.
I landed on the roof of the temple.
Entrance is
Not visible.
Then well break through.
I gestured to Eloka.
Eloka imdiately began casting.
We need to protect her until its done.
rmaids fell one after another to Jennas shots.
I deflected incoming harpoons in front of Jenna.
[Oxygen Concentration
35%]
The more violently we moved, the faster the oxygen was consud.
I relaxed my body, minimizing my movents.
!
Boom!
One side of the temples roof shattered.
I signaled, and starting with Eloka, we began entering the temple through the hole in the roof one by one.
Eloka first, then , and Jenna last.
[Jenna() has been afflicted with a bleeding status. Health decreases over ti.]
We landed inside the temple with the flow of water.
Move!
As soon as we touched the ground, Eloka imdiately gestured with her hands.
Stones from the floor rose and blocked the hole through which water was pouring.
Eloka gasped for breath.
We can buy so ti. It wont last long, though.
I looked around.
The place we landed was a huge cavity the size of a sports field, and the inside of the temple seed not to be subrged.
[Oxygen Concentration
28%]
Can we make it back with this?
We had consud more oxygen than expected.
Regardless, we had to think about that later.
Hey.
Yes?
I looked back.
Jenna was hesitating on her feet.
How badly are you hurt?
Not much.
Be honest before you get scolded.
A little?
Jenna smiled awkwardly.
It wasnt the first ti Id seen that expression.
When this kid feels guilty about sothing, she makes that face.
I strode behind Jenna.
Her left calf was deeply gashed.
Sigh.
Hit by a harpoon?
It hadnt stuck in, but it seed to have scooped out a chunk of flesh as it passed.
A potion will heal it quickly.
It will heal, sure. If you stay still and dont move.
I can still fight, you know.
Boom!
The cavity shook violently.
It was the water dragons voice.
Ouch!
I sat Jenna down, then took out a potion and bandages.
I opened the potion and poured it over the wound, then wrapped it with bandages.
Wait here.
I can fight too.
Stop talking nonsense.
Youre being unusually kind.
I finished wrapping the bandage and took out a white potion.
rmaids Tears. I placed it beside Jenna.
Why are you giving this to ?
For ergency use.
I continued.
Eloka, you too
Im not staying! Stay here? I wouldnt have co if that were the case!
Really?!
Yeah!!
Eloka placed her hand on her chest.
If I did sothing, I will take responsibility. Thats the duty of a noble. You too! Since you called ! Behave like a gentleman and escort
to the end!
Eloka brushed her hair back and laughed rrily.
Her hands were trembling, though.
This is
I smiled wryly.
Then lets go.
What about ?!
Ill co back for you soon. Wait patiently.
[Attention!]
[This dungeon is designed for a 5-person party.]
I brushed aside the ssage that appeared in my vision and moved forward.
[The battle shop is now open.]
[Do you wish to purchase the High-Quality Glow Stick for Support (one-ti use, 100 gems)?]
[Yes(Select) / No]
Does this guy even understand the situation?
