Episode 1264
The 3rd Legion has the duty to protect the seas of the Dark Alliance.
The duty to protect this sea includes various tasks, including the extermination of external enemies and pirates, and one of them is controlling the monster population. It is the same principle as Simon placing Gyros in the Frost Field to control the growing northern monster population.
Sea Fangor, the troublemaker of the sea.
The sea penguin is a long, eel-like creature that can grow from 7 meters in length to 15 meters when fully grown, and its main prey is humans.
They are highly intelligent and can extend their teeth into spear-like shapes to bore holes into the bottom of ships. They are one of the worst enemies of the sea, most frequently attacking and sinking merchant ships.
Since they are not native to the continent but rather come from dungeons, they lay eggs once and hundreds of baby monsters are born. They are so fast and hide so well that they have no natural enemies in the ocean. If these are left alone, the oceans of the continent will become a paradise for sea penguins.
Therefore, the 3rd Army Corps conducts seed penger quarantine once every three months.
This can be seen as a kind of ‘preventive measure’ to prevent accidents that occur at sea in advance. If you gather sea penguins from the sea and hunt them every quarter, you can greatly reduce accidents and incidents.
“I understand that, but why… … .”
The rower, Lothario, yawned with his mouth wide open and said:
“Are we doing it again?”
“This is also training. Don’t complain and just row.”
The main ship of the Third Corps was waiting a short distance away, and five small boats were manned by ten new captains, two each. These boats had iron plates underneath to prevent them from being pierced by the teeth of the sea penguins.
And in Simon’s case.
“… … .”
“… … .”
I’ve teamed up with Audreycia, a woman with long hair whom I secretly meet often.
Simon volunteered to row, while she sat quietly with her hands on her knees, staring out at the sea.
‘Still, I’m glad I rode with someone who has nothing to do with the salon.’
Among those who passed, a whopping five were from Estella Salon.
I especially wanted to avoid riding with my ex-fiancée Christina, so I was very lucky that my partner this time was Audrey.
Christina was riding with Mailer de Charmot, the successor to the Marquisate, and although Mailer was trying to lighten the mood by talking to her, she pretended not to hear him and just stared gloomily out at the night sea.
Thud thud!
The ship moves slowly as the captains row.
Fortunately, the sea was calm, but it was still particularly eerie. The dark night sea swayed as if it would swallow everything up at any moment.
‘So this is why there’s something called arachnophobia.’
“glass.”
While I was lost in thought, Audreysia, who was sitting across from me, suddenly spoke to me.
Now that I think about it, we’ve never had a proper conversation. Simon answered stiffly, as expected of Yuri Migil.
“why?”
“There’s booger in my eyes.”
“know.”
“… … .”
The awkward atmosphere flowed once again.
Simon wanted to speak actively, but he felt the gaze of Christina and Rosaline on the other boat. Something seemed off, and he felt he had to speak.
“How did you end up applying for the captain’s exam? Yuri.”
Fortunately, the other person seems to be feeling awkward too, so he speaks to her. Simon coughs and answers.
“Because my father told me to.”
“It’s similar. My mother told me to do it.”
The two picked each other up and laughed.
Soon we started talking a little and started talking about this and that.
Odrecia was the daughter of a ‘shipper’ who chartered ships to merchants at sea and transported cargo for a fee. Recently, she was preparing ships to explore treasure islands that were said to appear all over the sea.
However, the fleet lost its power because the captains with the authority to command the sea were suddenly scouted out by other fleets, and now the ships with the legal authority to command the sea are pouring out gunfire and preventing other fleets from going out to sea.
In other words, her taking command of the seas was the fleet’s last hope.
“It’s not just our fleet. Many workers are suffering damages as word of Treasure Island spreads.”
She closed her eyes and continued speaking.
“So I have to somehow get my hands on a naval command for my mother.”
“That happened.”
Then a voice rang out.
“We’ve arrived at our destination! Everyone, focus!”
Miler, who liked to stand in front of people, took the lead. He stood up from his seat and raised his voice.
“Everyone, check if you have the correct quantity of items! Raise your hand after checking the quantity. Yeah, yeah. Everyone check! Do you remember the Torcio Curse that you learned this time?”
After completing various verification procedures, all the ships lined up in a straight line with some distance between them. Soon, the miler in the middle waved his torch from side to side.
‘It’s a signal!’
“Let’s get started.”
Odrescia carefully placed the flowers in her basket on the water’s surface and pushed them out to sea.
The lantern leaves floated one by one on the night sea, glowing with fluorescent light.
“pretty.”
Odrescia muttered, and Simon nodded.
It felt like looking at the Milky Way. It was such a dazzling sight that I momentarily forgot that I was hunting monsters.
This is an object made by wrapping the leaves of a lantern plant that glows at night, and it is said that sea penguins mistake it for a luminous jellyfish and flock to eat it.
Soon, the lantern leaves were soaked in seawater, losing their strength and slowly pouring out the chunks of meat inside them. This was a kind of food made by crushing the monster’s flesh into small pieces, and was sprinkled with a scent that stimulated the sea penguins.
They will soon flock to you, stimulated by their sense of smell and sight.
The ships now drifted further and further away from the lantern leaves.
with a splash.
Simon closed his eyes, feeling the texture of the sea with his palms in the water.

After giving it some time, I felt the flow of water change.
The feeling of the waves touching your hands is different.
“Coming.”
Swaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
In the distance, you can see the water rushing madly. The rookie captains look terrified.
“That’s all a bunch of crap?”
“Everyone calm down!”
Mylar shouted.
“If you just do as I prepared, there will be no problem!”
Swaaaaaaah!
Soon, a black creature resembling a spear emerges from the sea.
The sight of giant eels with sharp teeth leaping madly upwards from the lantern leaves was terrifying.
Everyone gulped.
“Now is the time!”
Now that they had all come up to the surface, this was their chance. Everyone reached out and unleashed the curses they had learned in the 3rd Corps.
<Torsio>
Shushu shushush!
Shushu shushuk!
The curses fired by the ten captains spread in a long curve and fell on the Sea Panggar that appeared above the water.
The sea penguins writhe in agony.
“It works!”
Torcio was a curse exclusive to the Dae C-Panga developed by the 3rd Army.
For normal monsters or people, it only has a slight effect of causing a stomachache, but since Sea Panggar’s digestive system is structurally different from that of normal mammals, if it gets a stomachache, its internal organs will get twisted and it will go into shock throughout its entire body, causing death.
Moreover, the flesh of the monster that was just eaten is lethal because it sticks to the inner walls when eaten by the Sea Panggar, and if the curse is added, its killing power is truly incredible.
Shuuk!
Shuhwaaaaah!
The Torcio curse spreads out like a territory, and is sprinkled on the sea, causing the sea penguins that rise above it to writhe in agony. In the process, there were many cases where they were torn apart or pierced by each other’s sharp teeth.
The monsters are being annihilated quickly.
“Don’t miss this opportunity! Shoot the curse with all your might!”
Mylar raised his voice.
“Think of each and every one of them as a human life! We’ll eliminate them all here!”
At that time, all the new captains were very focused on the sweep.
Puuuuuuuuuuuuu!
A loud trumpet sound was heard from the main line of the 3rd Army Corps. Everyone stopped moving and looked back.
A red flag was raised on the ship.
‘Order to retreat!’
That red flag meant something was seriously wrong. Simon looked around quickly.
‘What’s the problem? We followed the procedures we were taught… … .’
Simon wrung pitch black across his palm to form an underwater exploration magic circle, but there was no need to form one.
Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwa!
A dark horde of incomparable size to that of the Sea Panggar was swarming in from afar. One of the captain’s fellows saw the sight and jumped up and shouted.
“It’s Kelp Evil!”
“No, why are you here?”
The method we just used is the only one that calls for Mr. Panggar.
Sea monsters can approach by smelling the blood of the dead Mr. Panggar, but that is a problem after 1-2 hours.
But now, the monster Kelp Evils have appeared, and they are definitely headed towards the new captains.
“You have to get back right now!”
“Hurry up!”
A sudden incident occurred. The main line was also pouring down artillery fire. It seemed like they were bombarding Kelp Evil in the distance.
Mylar shouted.
“Remember what to do in case of an emergency? Everyone, get moving!”
Everyone put down their oars, went to the back of the boat one by one, unfolded their magic circle, and sprayed pitch black light.
Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwa!
A spray technique that uses a person’s pitch-blackness as a kind of pitch-black engine.
The pitch black effect wasn’t very effective, but there was nothing I could do about it. Then Christina shouted.
“The main line is also under attack!”
It was no chaos. The main ship was also entangled in what looked like the legs of all kinds of sea monsters.
The main ship’s crew responded by pouring out black magic or jumping into the sea themselves to fight them off.
-Come to the 9 o’clock direction from the main line! I’ll meet you there!
Vice Admiral Agra’s loudspeaker voice was heard. Soon the main ship began to move, and Simon shouted to the rookie captains who were running around frantically.
“9 o’clock direction with the bow of the main ship as the center!”
At those words, everyone suddenly came to their senses and changed direction.
Meanwhile, the kelp evils were getting closer.
With the height and build of an eight or nine year old boy, they were the most aggressive monsters in the sea.
‘No matter how much I think about it, it’s strange. I only used the method of calling Mr. Panggar, so why did Kelp Evil and other monsters get involved too?’
Simon’s eyes sharpened.
The possibility that someone had deliberately summoned the monsters occurred to me.
“glass!”
Simon suddenly came to his senses at Odrecia’s shout and leaned back. A kelp veil jumped out from the water, snapped its teeth, and went back inside. It looked like a boy with a fish-shaped head.
“Ahhhh!”
“My stomach is ripped open!”
Other ships were also attacked.
Simon moved quickly.
‘First, let’s prepare Molgula’s summoning magic circle… …!’
Simon placed the magic circle he had been spreading on his left hand on his side and hit the water with his palm.
<Pacheon>
Swaaaaaaah!
A stream of water shot out like a spear, biting Rosaline and Basil’s boats and knocking the kelp evil that was hanging there. They looked at Simon with surprised eyes.
‘As expected, the efficiency of the blue wave is poor on the ship!’
With that thought in mind, Simon boldly jumped into the sea. Odrecia, who was using black magic, looked back at Simon in surprise.
“glass!”
with a splash!
As soon as you enter the water, you see countless kelp evils approaching you.
Simon closed his eyes, spread his arms, and felt the texture of the sea.
‘Carefully, like plucking a string!’
Simon, who had been feeling the knot with his fingertips, soon grabbed the waves with both hands. As if pulling up a blanket, a large amount of water was pulled by Simon’s hands and spun around, transforming into a huge ocean current.
At the same time, kelp evils flock to hunt the drowned creatures.
<Return>
Swaaa …
A huge wave formed in a circle around Simon, pushing the Kelp Evils back.
“Wow!”
“Whoa!”
The surrounding ships were tilting as if they were going to capsize, but they did not, while the kelp evils that were on the surface were pushed far away.
“Yuri is buying time! Everyone, now is the time! Let’s go!”
As Lotario shouted, he fired pitch black and increased the speed of the ship. Everyone followed suit and quickly started to escape the danger zone.
The main force of the 3rd Corps had already cleared away the monsters and was almost at the 9 o’clock location. Simon took a deep breath, grabbed his bearings again, and spun around.
[Boy! This time there are more!]
But too many eyes were drawn to Simon. Kelp Evil, of course, as well as the surviving Sea Panggars and various sea monsters were advancing.
Simon was spinning around, holding onto the knot, but then he had an unexpected thought.
‘The waves are lower than before!’
After just using the big knot, I used <Swirling> again too hastily. If I keep doing this, the sea monsters might just break through the waves and come in.
While Simon was wondering what to do.
“glass!”
A shout was heard from afar. Simon also turned his head.
“Odrescia!”
Before we knew it, Odrecia had jumped into the sea following Simon instead of chasing after her other companions. But.
‘Audrey’s also a blue wave!’
She grabbed the knot and spun her body around. The huge knot was rippling as it was caught in her grip.
“Use this!”
Swaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
As she pulled her hand out in the middle of casting the technique, the huge knot she had gathered came rushing towards Simon, overflowing. Simon quickly gave up the knot he had gathered and stretched out both arms to catch the knot she had sent.
‘!’
A feeling that fits comfortably in both hands.
It was a feeling of her kindness. The waves she sent were quite large.
She seemed to be very skilled at sending knots to her opponents.
“I’ll write well!”
Simon, who had inherited the knot, spun his body with all his might, blowing all the pitch black into the resulting wave.
‘Twist it! Take control of the entire flow and make it mine!’
Simon didn’t back down, even though his two arms were trembling from the pressure. It wasn’t like a wave anymore. A large amount of sea was swirling around Simon like a tornado.
‘Let’s go!’
<Hongfeng Original – Haiteng>
Swaaa …
A huge wave surged in all directions, sweeping away all the monsters and calming the sea. All the new captains watched with their mouths open.
“The sea… … !”
“It flipped over?”
Gooooooooooooo!
A power that is almost like seeing the sea god.
And Christina, who was watching all this from behind, felt her heart start to beat again without realizing it.
‘glass……!’
But immediately afterwards a bitter taste appeared in her mouth.
Simon and Odrecia are seen driving away monsters with a splendid joint attack and giving each other a thumbs up.
‘Why on earth am I… … .’
Now Christina was being driven to the point where she couldn’t even understand her own mind.
