214
When the ‘island’ raised itself, sea water was sucked in, creating turbulence. A huge whirlpool arose, causing the sea water to shake violently, and the ship was unable to escape the torrent with only the power of its sails and wind.
Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
As the rock giant shed its magnificent body, broken rocks fell like cannonballs. The rocks that made up the island were nothing more than barnacles attached to its body. He shook off the rock and its true form was revealed. He was like a beast resembling an elephant. Its size was by no means inferior to that of Leviathan. In fact, its body was thicker, but its movements were faster than those of a large body.
The size, which was several times larger than that of the Giant God Soldier, made even me feel intimidated. Even I, who am used to ‘unusual events’, am like this, but I wonder if other people would be appalled. The soldiers were trembling with fear and did not obey the deck captain’s orders, and even the duke and the seven knights were unable to sort out the situation and just looked at the monster with bewildered eyes.
“shit.”
This is because it was not possible to clearly distinguish whether it was an ‘enemy’ that should be fought.
Its very existence was a disaster. Like a typhoon, like an earthquake. Natural disasters cannot be fought against. It is a threat that we have no choice but to endure. The appearance of a monster larger than a mountain presented such vagueness. I was so consumed with fear that that disaster might swallow me up, and my sense of responsibility and bravery hid behind my instincts.
The behemoth split the sea and headed somewhere. It was a slow movement, but the speed was not slow. The first to realize where it was heading was the Duke of Matherand.
“It’s land. “He’s heading to the empire.”
There are hundreds of islands in the Materand Islands. The behemoth will destroy everything in its path until it reaches the mainland, and the island swept by the living disaster will not be safe.
If it even lands on land.
The ancient kingdom was destroyed by a titanic disease.
Because Kunkan’s power is much stronger than that of the old kingdom.
Even if the power of the Empire could kill the behemoth-
There will definitely be many sacrifices.
In particular, the Matherand territory had a high possibility of having to stop the march of the great beast alone due to its closed nature and an environment in which it was difficult to receive outside help. If it is not prevented here, there will be enormous casualties and the pillars of Taicheong may collapse.
“… It must be stopped. certainly!”
The Duke was the first to come to his senses.
He drew his sword and shouted to the marines on deck.
“Open the guns of the entire fleet!”
His booming voice had a strange power to encourage courage and uplift the mood.
When the Duke of Matherand came forward, the marines of the Matherand family, who had been eroded by fear, changed.
Open the ship’s guns in perfect order and aim at the behemoth.
The flag bearer raised the flag to signal the attack order to other ships, and the tips of the Materand fleet’s cannons were all aimed at the behemoth.
“Activate the hydraulic artillery.”
An ordinary gunpowder bomb cannot even make a dent in the body of a behemoth.
But there was no hesitation for them.
This is because there is an underlying belief that one will definitely be able to kill the behemoth.
“charge-!”
I later realized that each cannon on the Mateland warship had a small spirit stone embedded in it. The Mateland territory was an area where the power of spirit beasts was so strong that there was not a single devil. The size of the spirit stone was small, but the magical power it contained was clear.
As the gun ports were opened, the cannon began to glow softly.
Hum-!
Finally, a cannon sucks in sea water.
As the more water was sucked in, the amount of magical energy also increased.
Are you using water as a cannonball?
“Is it a magical weapon?”
The duke smiled confidently at my question.
“If the Kingdom of Materand was an ‘island’-”
His next words were so impure that he could be considered a traitor to the empire.
However, it was a statement that showed pride in Materand’s maritime power.
“It must have been Kunkan that was conquered.”
As the fleet’s cannons emitted blue light at once, a dazzling spectacle was created.
“Look carefully, Confucius. “The majesty of the Taicheng fleet that even the steel fleet of the Western Continent cannot dare to surpass.”
The Duke of Matherand shouted with strength in his voice.
It was a shout so loud and courageous that it could be heard throughout the entire fleet.
[We are the masters of the sea! Destroy that guy. Brave men! All ships fire!]
Hydraulic artillery.
It was a magic weapon that fired seawater with strong hydraulic pressure using the magic power stored in the spirit stone, a principle that could be easily inferred just by looking at it. But its power easily exceeded my expectations.
The hydraulic cannons fired from ten warships were not as loud as gunpowder weapons.
Kwaaaaaaaaaa!
Dozens of fierce and strong streams of water easily penetrated even the behemoth’s body.
The destructive power of the hydraulic cannon, which contained powerful energy, exceeded the durability of the behemoth. I was truly amazed when I saw the behemoth collapsing.
“… Hydropump?”
The turtle king will cry too.
“Hehehe.”
The Duke crossed his legs and ran his left hand through his hair.
It was the Duke who boasted to me with his arrogant voice and face.
“The forces of the First Fleet led by the Seven Knights alone are this powerful. If all the military ships in the Three Straits had moved, that guy would have been reduced to dust. Hohohoho-!”
In times like this, it’s good to praise them for doing a good job.
“You are truly amazing. Indeed, Materand! It has the strongest maritime power in the empire, or rather in the world. Wow, clap clap clap.”
“Hohohoho-! If they can just defeat ‘Halloween’, Materand will become invincible and fearless at sea. Sooner or later, ho ho ho.”
The duke’s arrogance rose infinitely higher.
“Commander. Next instructions-”
“Get as far away from him as possible while you wait for the next charge of your guns. “If activity remains suspended for ten minutes, it is considered defeated.”
The behemoth’s body collapsed and its movement stopped. But even though he became an arrogant duke, he did not let go of his nerves. He kept an eye on the beholder and prepared for any unexpected situation. He was thought to be dead to the naked eye.
“Hmm.”
My eyes, which had been overworked due to activating Cheonan Tongue all the time while dealing with Leviathan, needed to recover. To avoid causing as much stress as possible, I tried not to use the Cheonan Tong for the time being. However, even with the collapsed behemoth, the ominous feeling did not stop. I briefly activated Cheonan Tong again. At that moment, I felt a pain that felt like my eyes were being torn apart.

“shit! “You must avoid it!”
“Confucius?”
“Order evacuation! “The ship is in danger!”
The Duke of Matherand hurriedly shouted at my urgent voice.
[Upgrade your military posture! The battle is not over yet!]
Could know.
It’s already too late.
Like the calm sea before the storm.
The reason the behemoth stopped moving was his trick.
In an instant, a shadow fell on the sea.
Something huge is rising from the depths of the sea.
‘It’ finally appeared.
The ship was caught up in it without even a chance to escape.
Quad Deuk! Quang!
The huge tentacles that rose from under the sea instantly wrapped around the four warships and dragged them to the bottom of the sea. Sailors jumped from the sinking warship, but those who could not escape were drowned along with the ship.
“Ugh, soldiers.”
The duke bit his lip at the tragedy that occurred so quickly.
I calmly checked his ‘whole body’ with a Cheonan tube.
What was destroyed by the hydraulic cannon was only a ‘part’ of it.
Eight huge tentacles rose up.
The true form of the monster hidden in the sea.
It was an octopus, not an elephant.
* * *
From the moment it recognized us as the ‘enemy’, the situation deteriorated rapidly. He had no means of dodging the eight giant tentacles. While the three ships were again entangled in the tentacles and submerged, the charged hydraulic cannons were fired, but only cut off one of the eight tentacles.
The ships were scattered according to the duke’s instructions, but the angry bastard seemed to be satisfied only by destroying all the ships. Even though he ran away with all his might, he couldn’t escape the tentacles. The duke and knight had to make a decision before any more ships were lost.
“You cannot win with human ‘power.’ “My knights, unleash all your power.”
“insect-!”
The seven knights, like the Duke, are of half-human race.
Some sprouted bird wings, while others sprouted webbed feet that allowed them to move freely underwater like a peacock. Having revealed the power of the demi-humans, they tried to fight against the behemoth without hesitation. The seven knights scattered and charged to deal with the tentacles.
The duke followed him, then stumbled and fell.
The blue scales that had sprouted returned to soft human skin.
He never summoned the power that killed Leviathan’s mother. It was a power that went beyond limits. The duke’s physical condition now was similar to that of being struck by a poisonous horse. Even if your energy is restored, you still need more recovery to be able to use your strength as before.
The Duke of Matherand was in no condition to fight.
The seven knights also fought by clinging to the behemoth’s tentacles, but it seemed like they were not enough.
It was barely able to avoid the tentacle’s attack, but it didn’t do any damage at all.
They cannot stop the raising of hands.
“Confucius! Give me that medicine again… … .”
The Duke of Matherand spoke to me as if pleading, but I could only give a desperate answer.
“There is nothing left.”
“shit. “I can’t just watch them fall like this.”
The duke tried to engage in battle, but he was unable to maintain his balance despite the shaking ship and stumbled.
“With my current physical condition, the duke can’t be of any help at all.”
“Even so! “It’s a situation where we have to fight!”
with a splash!
In the end, I had no choice but to watch the Duke throw himself under the boat.
Left alone, I bit my small and weak feet.
Terrible helplessness.
I’m sick of it now.
I have useless feet that can’t even hold a sword, but I have mana.
Damn you, Melissa. The price for making me like this is great… … .
“what are you doing?”
“Sobbing.”
A hiccup came out. I quickly turned my head when I suddenly heard a voice that was both hateful and desperately needed. Regardless of the urgent situation, Melissa stood leisurely with her parasol on.
“I don’t like the sea. “The sun is so bright that my skin will get burned.”
“balm! “You bitch!”
“Hoho, while I wasn’t looking, I lost control of my tongue. “Will you make it again with your polite tongue?”
“Why are you standing so carefree? “Can’t you see that?”
Melissa pretended not to notice and looked around with a mischievous look on her face.
“what? “All I can hear is a dog barking?”
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
I was so angry, but I was even more annoyed because there was nothing I could do about it.
I used my utmost patience to persuade Melissa.
“Please return it to its original state quickly. sister. “I’m speaking in palace script right now.”
“Hmm.”
“please. sister.”
“What are you talking about?”
Melissa looked at me like she didn’t understand and spoke.
“The magic has already been lifted, right? “Isn’t that why you like being a dog better?”
“huh?”
It was a strange situation.
Was Melissa lying?
Or maybe I really didn’t realize it.
Whatever-
As soon as Melissa finished speaking.
I escaped from the body of a small puppy and returned to my original body.
standing On two feet, not four.
There is no uncomfortable tail that swings around the butt without any will.
Ten fingers move according to my will.
There is no hair. My field of vision also broadened. The blocked energy moves along the bloodstream. Power outage has been activated. As the dog’s body, which was interfering with the circulation of energy, disappears, an explosion of energy like a flood envelops the entire body, as if a dam has broken.
Slowly.
I put on the clothes that Melissa gave me.
I picked up my sword, Skade Mer, that Melissa had taken.
“… Was it because of this?”
“Uhm, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Although the human body was restored from the dog’s body, it did not return as before.
It’s different from before. Nothing has gotten worse. Rather, this… … .
If this is Melissa’s ‘intention’ in turning me into a dog.
I no longer have any reason to truly hate Melissa like I just did.
only.
“shit. “It would have been better if you had told me in advance.”
I’m still dissatisfied with Melissa’s handling of work.
All, all!
Dalby is excited.
I swung Skade Mer around.
Is it ‘conceit’?
no-
This is ‘confidence’.
“Maybe once?”
