Episode 70
Ditarterone (7)
Although Yi Sun-sin was a famous general for his strategy, his military power was also outstanding.
At least the skeletons that filled the deck were no match for him at all.
Kwaang!!!
Once again, Jeong-do swung his long sword and dozens of skeletons crumbled into pieces with the explosion. Unless it was Ditarteron himself, even if there were thousands of skeletons, he couldn’t beat Jeongdo.
After a very short period of time, Jeong-do single-handedly sank the ghost ship and returned to the first ship. And just as you are about to move on to help other users.
“These flying things!”
Detarteron shouted as he hovered in the air and saw the ghost ship being destroyed.
“I am the king of the sea! Being in the sea is for me! But how dare you defy me!”
Ditarteron looked at the ship that Jeongdo was on. It’s that boat. It’s that guy. That ship is commanding the battlefield! Then there is one thing to do. To bring back the weight of the battlefield that has been lost, the best way is to defeat the enemy’s leader.
“I will steal your life. And I will turn them all into ghosts and make them follow me forever.”
Ditarteron said so and released the mana he had saved up until now.
Faaah!
A light strong enough to pierce the thick fog passed by in an instant.
A huge black shadow appeared over the Dokdo sea.
<What a ship.>
The identity of the black shadow was another ship. However, it was of a different class from the ghost ships that Ditarteron had summoned so far.
Overwhelming size.
It was similar to the largest oil tanker on Earth. It was so frighteningly large that it turned the warships dispatched from Korea into toys.
The Sea King’s Wrath.
Ruler of the Kshanto Archipelago. It was a sea fortress that Ditarteron was proud of.
Overwhelming size and durability derived from strengthening magic.
Nevertheless, it has faster speed and turning ability than most speedboats.
Even the magic cannon installed by the Elder Arch Lich himself.
Unlike the ghost ships he had used so far, it was his masterpiece that was psychically connected to the Ditarteron.
“Huh… omg. I’ll kill you all! “There is no way I can lose a naval battle!”
Blonde middle-aged woman. No, perhaps it was too much for him to even maintain his human appearance anymore, as his face melted and returned to its original skeleton.
<I feel madness. Madness about the sea… >
“It’s surprising. “It would be even weirder if Richie wasn’t crazy.”
In fact, once you reach the level of Elder Arch Lich, there is no need to insist on fighting with ships. When it comes to the lich’s magic at its peak, it is much more efficient to just fly around and shoot magic. We built a ship on purpose and supplemented the crew… The tactics of swarming and hand-to-hand combat are truly the height of inefficiency. Nevertheless, Ditarteron’s insistence on naval warfare was the result of a stubborn streak that had continued since his lifetime.
‘I guess that’s fine.’
What matters now is that the crazy monster is chasing the ship he is on. The order was quickly given to the ship.
“Direction 35 degrees north to east. Stay as far away from the friendly fleet as possible. Advance!”
“Advance!”
The naval forces, who saw that Jeong Do single-handedly defeated a ghost ship, repented.
Ditarteron followed closely behind the ship carrying Jeongdo. Jeongdo stood at the stern and looked at the sea king’s anger.
‘Charge tactics must be difficult.’
It was too big. Moreover, its durability seemed incomparably stronger than that of the ghost ship. Of course, a turtle ship with various buffs can inflict damage, but it will take a lot of time to sink it. And before that, Yi Sun-shin’s load will end.
‘We have to make a move before the load time runs out.’
Actually, I had a method in mind. However, in order to implement that method, you have to clear quite difficult conditions…
At that time, Ditarteron came out to the bow and shouted loudly.
“There is no use hiding in the fog! As long as I cannot erase the vitality of the living, they can never escape my grasp. “Even if it’s to the end of the sea, I’ll chase you and kill you!”
‘… hmm?’
In other words, it meant that even Ditarteron himself could not be clearly identified in this fog.
‘then!’
It might work. Jeong Do ordered a change of route via radio.
“From now on, we will change the route every minute. “Random direction, but maintain speed.”
“yes? But if you do that when the radar isn’t working, you’ll lose your current location!”
“it’s okay. Please trust me.”
“… Razer.”
About 5 minutes passed like that.
Ditarteron’s ship caught up with Jeongdo’s ship.
“You rat bastards! Finally got it! I will crush you like this! And I will have that boat!”
“You caught it? “That’s what this side has to say.”
“joy. Is this a bravado just before death? Insignificant… ”
It was then.
Coo!
“Huh?!”
The huge hull on which the Ditarteron was riding stopped with the sound of hitting something. Di Tarteron looked down at the bottom of her ship in confusion.
“… reef?”
A rock sticking out of the sea was blocking the ship’s path. Jeongdo looked at the scene and laughed.
When he said that he had caught ditarterone, it was not empty words.
Just as Admiral Yi Sun-sin deliberately lured the enemy to Hansan Island and annihilated them with a crane formation.
Jeongdo deliberately lowered the speed of the ship to lure Ditarteron.
Here on Dokdo.
To be exact, it was the sea between Dongdo and Seodo. Ditarteron was astonished when he realized that Do-do had led him here.

“You mean you can see through this fog! “This is ridiculous!”
“Oh, that’s not it. Because I can’t even see an inch ahead in this fog. “There are just good maps.”
“… map?”
Ditarteron couldn’t understand what he was saying and looked around. It is a thick fog that fills the surroundings. What’s the point of a map when you don’t even know your location?
But there was a degree.
An all-purpose map that shows your location in real time.
In the air where Jeongdo was looking, the dungeon map was flashing, showing his location!
The original of the <Dungeon Map> skill is Jeong Yak-yong’s <Abanggang Yeokgo>.
This is a geography book that explains the topography of Joseon. Of course, Dokdo, which was Joseon’s territory, appeared on the dungeon map, and Jeongdo confirmed his location and dragged Detarteron there.
The area around Dokdo was full of large and small reefs. If it was the size of a warship, it would barely be able to escape the reef field, but if it was a ship the size of an oil tanker like Ditarteron’s ship, it would be absolutely impossible.
“Ugh! Damn it.”
Detarteron cursed. If you bypass the reef, the distance will increase again. Do I have to endure another tedious chase? He had no choice but to move the boat and try to escape the reef field.
“this?!”
The ship didn’t move as it should. A suddenly stronger current was pushing the boat into the reef field. Jeongdo laughed once again.
If you really want to find a reef field, there are many more than just this one. However, the reason we had to drag it between East Island and West Island was because of this ocean current.
According to Bernoulli’s fluid mechanics, fluid flows much faster in narrow places. The narrow road between Dongdo and Seodo has strong currents that cannot be compared to other places. Just like Uldolmok in the Battle of Myeongnyang, where Admiral Yi Sun-sin achieved victory.
“Wow. “It’s a current like this!”
However, as Ditarteron infused mana into the ship, the Sea King’s anger gradually began to go against the current and escape the reef field. If just a little more time passes like this, we will completely escape the reef field.
but.
‘This is also the sea I expected!’
I didn’t think it was possible to tie down a magically powered ship with just(?) reefs and ocean currents. Jeong Do grabbed the twin dragon swords hanging on his waist.
<Use the skill <Sea Current Adjustment>! The effect is maximized due to the skill <Ocean Current Detection>.>
The <Sea Current Control> skill built into the Twin Dragon Sword.
And Yi Sun-sin’s <Ocean Current Detection> skill.
The two skills showed synergy. A stronger current than ever before began to flow where Ditarteron was, and the Sea King’s anger was driven back to the reef field.
Topography of Dokdo.
Map by Jeong Yak-yong.
Yi Sun-sin’s abilities.
When these three things fit together perfectly, they succeeded in tying up the enemy ship.
<I guess I’m done here.>
Yi Sun-sin’s words echoed in Do-do’s mind. The moment the loading ends has arrived.
Jeong Do sent off the greatest hero of Joseon with a reverent heart.
“It was an honor to work with you.”
<Please, good luck.>
With those words, the loading ended. The moment his strength disappeared, he felt helpless, but soon came to his senses and glared at the huge ship in front of him.
The <Ocean Current Adjustment> skill is not maintained forever. You will have to take a big hit while the skill is maintained.
Of course, it’s impossible with my current self. At best(?), S-class force could not inflict a significant damage on that huge ship. In the end, this time I had to rely on the rod again.
‘I didn’t expect to use it this quickly, but… ‘
Still, I’m glad I made it, but I almost had a hard time. While muttering that, I opened the status window. And I used <Combination Draw>.
Tiring!
<There is a black grade confirmed road ticket (trial version) for the combination draw. Do you want to use it?>
Jeong Do used the black ticket without hesitation.
Black Tier Confirmed Road Ticket.
This incredible one-hit reversal card was obtained the moment you crafted the Twin Dragon Sword. A reward for creating the first mythic grade item on Earth! Perhaps because of the achievement of being the first on Earth, the rewards were also generous.
Two windows appeared in front of Jeongdo’s eyes.
Jeongdo selected two characters from the album and placed them in the combination window.
Mordred.
Tristan.
The most famous of the Western knights were the Knights of the Round Table. If you have a relationship with those two and are in the black level, the target narrows down to the point where you can count them on one hand.
Paaaat!
Black business cards floated above Jeongdo’s head.
There were a total of 7 sheets.
Wedge!
That’s more than one hand. Jeongdo muttered that and accepted the black business card that was falling down.
Kuwaaaa!
A huge mana storm raged around Jeongdo. A powerful mana storm like you’ve never experienced before! It was a storm strong enough to shake the warship on board.
“What! “This ridiculous amount of mana!”
Ditarteron, who was squeezing out the remaining mana and going against the current, looked at Jeongdo in surprise. As a result, the boat, which was barely able to get out of the current, was thrown back into the reef field.
After the mana storm ended, Jeong Do held a sword in his hand.
If everyone in the world was asked what the most famous sword on Earth is, what would the answer be? If you ask which sword is the best, there will be many different opinions, but there will be no disagreement about the most famous sword.
Excalibur.
The magic sword of King Arthur, who ruled ancient Britain. The sword was currently held in my hand.
Tiring!
<The King of All Diseases has perfectly recreated a mythical weapon!>
<Skill <Excalibur> can be used.>
There was only one skill built-in, with no other additional effects. Although it could be considered shabby compared to the spectacular effects of other mythic items.
There is a reason why ‘mythical’ level items exist.
‘From what I heard, even a huge monster can be split in one blow, right?’
Excalibur was discovered in a treasure dungeon and was currently being used by a British SS-level user. And countless dances were being accumulated in the dungeon.
However, the power of a weapon varies depending on the level of the user.
At best(?), if an SS-class swing can take down a large monster in one blow.
What kind of power will Excalibur wielded by the Black Class exert?
At some point, the status window was brought up.
Name: Jinjeongdo
Level: 201
Mana available: 356
Strength: 195 Stamina: 209 Reflexes: 207 Mana Responsiveness: 333
Talent: <Prince-lv.3>, <Swordsmanship-lv.2>, <Spearsmanship-lv.2>, <Dignity-lv.2>, <Horship-lv.2>, <Horsemanship-lv.2> , <Magic-lv.2>… and 10 others.
Possessed Skills: <The skills of characters loaded with trial tickets cannot be used.>
Jeong Do stood at the stern of the boat and held Excalibur with both hands.
Wow.
I slowly lifted it onto my right shoulder, feeling a pleasant grip in my hand.
and.
Wooooow.
The terrifying mana began to concentrate into Excalibur.
“ah… no!”
Ditarteron had a hunch. You shouldn’t take that sword from the front. You must run away at all costs.
However, the ship is tied up in the ocean currents and reefs. It was impossible to move the ship right now.
‘Should we abandon ship?’
No, this cannot happen. This ship is your pride. How can you claim to be the king of the sea if you abandon this and run away? Even if you run away, it’s a problem. This ship is connected to herself and her spirit. If her ship takes damage, she also takes damage herself.
“shit! shit! shit!”
Ditarteron cursed and used his remaining mana to create a barrier in front of the Sea King’s anger. Yes, in naval battles you have to trust your ship. The Sea King’s wrath and his own magic would be enough to withstand that blow…
Startle.
Detarteron, who had cast the barrier, trembled. Standing alone at the stern of a warship, the sword was pointed at him. Ditarteron felt as if his already rotten heart was stopping once again.
“I’m going!!!!!!!!!”
Jeongdo showed his spirit and activated the skill of Excalibur, which was full of mana.
Flash!
There was no sound.
However, there were results.
The golden mana gushing out from Excalibur.
Ditarteron’s Barrier. And after tearing apart the sea king’s fury that was hundreds of meters long.
Even the fog that covered Dokdo parted and rose into the sky.
