135. Storm and tidal wave (1)
a few days after that.
[The maintenance of the airship ‘Capitalism’ has been completed!]
[From now on, you can send airships to missions. However, you can only participate in areas where summoning is permitted.]
Boooung.
The assembled Capitalism is undergoing a test run.
The exposed interior was covered with a solid steel shell, and fuel lines were expanded and other facilities were renovated.
‘This is true.’
I clicked my tongue as I watched the airship circling around the space-time gap.
After clearing the 32nd floor, Amkenna did not climb for nearly a week.
‘I thought I wanted to try it.’
I obtained an airship, but there were few usable sections.
Then, just in time, the permission to use was dropped on the 33rd floor. When you get a new car, it’s natural to want to drive it. There was no way my heart could not be moved.
“No problem with flotation. Good fuel efficiency. No damage seen.”
Radi, who was wearing a maintenance uniform, filled the ‘O’ on the airship checklist.
“I think I can go on a mission with this.”
“There are no facilities on board yet, no weapons installed. You haven’t even checked the flight, have you?”
Katio said as he came out of the c*ckpit.
The airship stopped at its original location.
“You said this place was the sea? You wouldn’t be able to fly anyway.”
“It is, but…”
“If you want more maintenance, I don’t mind.”
“It’s okay! It’s over here. Because I feel like I’m going to die every day.”
Katio said as if he was fed up and came down the stairs.
Dark circles were engraved under the eyes. It was the result of overtime work that lasted for about a week.
“I’ve been fooled. I’ve been fooled. It’s worse than Harla, this place! Damn it.”
Katio covered his eyes.
[‘Katio (★★★★)’ expresses dissatisfaction!]
Recognizing Katio’s dissatisfaction, Amkena moved the control panel.
The screen changed to the gift shop.
[I present the ‘Warring Horse Statue’ to ‘Katio (★★★★)’!]
“How many times, what the hell? I don’t need anything like this!”
Katio threw the warhorse statue that appeared out of the air in disgust.
[‘Katio (★★★★)’ is disappointed when he receives the ‘war horse statue’.]
[Likeness decreased!]
I picked up the statue of a war horse that had been thrown on the floor.
object without an owner.
I decided to decorate the display case.
“What are you doing here anyway?”
“Can’t I?”
I put the statue in my arms and said.
“I came to see it because it seemed that the airship repair was finished.”
“The results are as you can see. First of all, the driving ability is fine. Sailing is also possible. However…”
“There are no facilities and weapons on board, you mean?”
“This takes a little longer. It’s not just the two of us.”
I nodded.
It is not over just by fixing the exterior.
Now, the inside of the Capitalism was empty. In order to function properly, various facilities and loading weapons had to be installed.
“But why does that female sorceress keep hanging out next to her? The party capacity must be five.”
Katio tilted his head.
“You understand.”
I laughed and said
When the training first started with Katio, Iolka was by his side.
In order to train together, they walked around the outskirts, trained their stamina, and practiced fire and wind magic at the newly established magic training ground. I couldn’t participate in formation training.
a week after that.
‘Has there been any progress?’
The formation with Katio was roughly sorted out and the roles of the members were established, but Iolka did not change much. The degree from a gentle breeze to a gentle breeze.
Elementalists basically deal with only one attribute.
Wizards with two or more attributes are rare, and the probability of appearing is less than 10%. It is unlikely that Iolka would fall into that category.
‘He’s wandering around.’
What Iolka needs is not wind magic.
It was enough firepower to take the risk and use it.
Currently, Iolka is a high risk low return.
It was written after considering the risk from the time he was first summoned anyway. I had to know that in order to come back. I wanted to intervene when I was watching the scene where I was struggling, but I was silent because I felt like I had to realize it myself.
‘Well, I’ll learn on my own.’
Progress slowed down due to maintenance of the airship.
Now was the time to prepare for the attack on the 35th floor. After that, I went back to the inn after listening to Katio and Radi about all the details of the airship.

evening the next day.
[Party 1, Gather!]
Amkena called the 1st party.
It’s been a while since I’ve been called, but everyone entered the gap of time and space with a calm expression.
because i was expecting it.
[The main dungeon, the current challenge floor is the 33rd floor.]
[After 10 seconds, the door opens. Get ready!]
[The mission is being recorded. Play history will be preserved.]
[Aircraft can be used.]
A message popped up informing me of the number of floors of the mission.
One more notification.
“It’s the 33rd floor.”
“It must be continued on the ship.”
We were summoned to the field of mission while chatting nonchalantly.
slam.
The sound of waves hitting your ears.
The unique smell of the sea brushes your nose.
“… you’re here.”
Fria, who was sitting on the bow, looked back at us.
[Floor 33.]
[Mission Type – Exploration]
[Goal – Search the designated place!]
The task window popped up.
Exploration continued from the 32nd floor.
[Teeling!]
[Branching occurs!]
[Sub quests are renewed!]
‘… … ?’
[Sub quest (branching type)]
[Goal – Summon the Airship!]
[Reward – Hidden Stage Unlocked]
Suddenly a sub quest.
The goal is even more absurd.
Not a mission to deal with or protect someone, just to call in an airship.
I saw and experienced numerous quests, but this level was not common.
The reward is also strange.
‘Hidden stage.’
Pick me up was one of the factors called lucky games.
If it’s a bonus stage, hints about the next floor are given, but I can’t predict the hidden stage at all.
If there is one thing for sure, it is that the difficulty of the missions can fluctuate wildly.
“Subquest? Didn’t you do it in the desert?”
Jenna, who was looking into the air, said.
“Summon the Airship… The content is simple.”
“Suspicious.”
Belquist responded.
Freea came nearby.
“What are you talking about? Join me too.”
“Wait a minute. That’s our story.”
“is it…….”
Freea put on a sad expression and withdrew.
[Would you like to ask the hero’s intention?]
[Yes / No]
[The hero’s intention is as follows.]
[Han – slightly negative]
[Jenna – Neutral]
[Belquist – slightly negative]
[Nerissa – Neutral]
[Katio – Neutral]
Amkena’s control window stopped.
seemed to be thinking.
‘Although I could make a suggestion.’
There is no guarantee that the answer is correct.
“Fria.”
“Why?”
“How long has it been since you left land?”
“It’s been over a month.”
one month.
It seems quite far from land.
As I fell silent, Amkena’s patience was stretched to the limit.
[Wizard kid!]
A familiar voice rang in my head.
It was Isel’s.
Whether everyone could hear it, the first party looked around.
But the figure was not visible.
only the voice continues.
[The master ordered the airship summons.]
“here?”
[Yes, you know if I refuse, right?]
Katio looked at me.
It was a face asking what to do.
I shook my head.
[The leader of ‘Party 1’, ‘Han(★★★)’, suggests rejecting the subquest.]
You can’t leave your strategy to chance.
If it’s a side quest, there should be plenty of opportunities.
You can kick a side gourd if you make a hasty decision.
As if my objection was unexpected, Amkena stopped the operation for a moment.
[Are you sure you accept the offer?]
[Yes / No]
It seems to have endured once.
Suspicious sub-quest ends here.
“Airship, isn’t it overhauled? Can I not use it?”
“Hold on for a moment. It looks suspicious just by looking at it.”
“I guess so.”
The early happenings on the 33rd floor have come to an end.
We took our places on the boat.
Even if it’s a mission, there’s not much to do.
Smaller species, such as merman and sharks, cannot damage large sailboats.
It was almost like a break.
‘It’s a search.’
I was able to get information about the destination from Freea.
It is said that there is an ancient dragon temple at the end of the continental sea, which is said to be infinite. It seems that he saw the key shining there in a dream.
‘That’s true, it’s omnipotent.’
I dragged the hammock out onto the deck and sat down on it.
“It’s better than I thought. I wish my sister would have come too.”
Jenna was lying next to him.
“What are you thinking, brother?”
“It’s about the mission.”
“Mission, mission all day. It’s not a machine, how about taking a little break? It’s a sub-stage. Nothing special, what.”
I said with a smile.
“There are a lot of guys who look at it funny and then die.”
“But… I’ve done it about 27 times so far, but there hasn’t been a big crisis.”
“There has been no crisis so far, and there is no guarantee that there will be such in the future.”
It’s a game of luck anyway.
There was also the possibility that a difficulty level that was harder than the boss stage would come out.
Although the odds are less than one in a thousand.
I also don’t rate it that high.
I’m just thinking about the 35th floor.
[‘Party 1’ has entered the special field, ‘Region of Reaper’.]
‘what?’
I lifted my back from the chair.
I looked around. Even though it’s not night, the surroundings are dark.
There were thick black clouds in the sky.
“what?”
Jenna also widened her eyes and looked away.
‘Special fields.’
I don’t feel good.
I got up from my chair and went inside.
Freea’s room was in the first room in the hallway on the first floor.
After knocking, I opened the door and entered.
“Fria, I’m sorry, but I need to turn the boat around. Information…”
“You’re going to return after stepping on our territorial waters with dirt feet?”
Freea’s eyes were open.
An unpleasant voice that sounded like scratching metal escaped from his mouth.
‘This… … Is it mind control!’
“Listen, false champion.”
Freea’s mouth moved wildly.
“We are not hunted like other Guardians. We will be the hunters. We will make you pay for breaking the law.”
“……What are you?”
“The hunt has begun.”
fluff.
Having finished speaking, the priasis collapsed.
I quickly approached and helped.
“this…….”
[Warning!]
A warning message flashed past my eyes.
I put Freea on the bed and immediately went out onto the deck.
thud!
In an instant, the deck shook violently.
“Kuk!”
“Oh, brother!”
“What?”
“I don’t know! Suddenly…!”
Pew!
With the sound of exploding bombs, something like a huge pillar soared in a straight line.
[Kraken Lv.38]
My legs, which could have been several meters, wriggled while standing.
Kwa Gang!
Then the second leg rose.
the third, fourth, and fifth.
The bridge wrapped around the boat from all sides.
Hundreds of suckers on each leg were bladed.
‘This crazy.’
The ship, which could not bear the weight, was reeling.
If you keep going like this, you will be dragged into the water.
“Strike the legs! Sever the ones attached to the stomach!”
I shouted at the members jumping out of the ship.
Sreung!
I drew my sword right away.
The Kraken’s legs wrapped around the center of the ship.
The moment you gather all your strength and try to cut down.
oh oh oh oh
A desperate scream echoed, and the bridge wrapped around the boat lowered into the water.
“Senior, what happened!”
“I don’t know either!”
I looked down the railing.
A huge black shadow struggled beneath the surface.
Black clouds in the sky.
The wind got stronger.
Soon it started to rain.
‘It’s completely new.’
thud! Kugoong!
A strong wave rose from the surface.
It was to the extent that the ship would lightly shake with each blow.
“This, this suddenly…!”
Perhaps Freea came to her senses as well, and came out onto the deck.
I pointed to the steering wheel and shouted.
“Pria, get behind the wheel. Turn the ship!”
“Han, this is…”
“I don’t have time to explain.”
“Ah, got it!”
Freea gasped and ran to the helm on the deck.
Turned round and round to the right. profit. The ship slowly began to turn.
<Hehehehahahaha!>
A voice pierced my brain.
On the side of the ship, a column of water that could have been several meters rose, and a black figure jumped out.
None other than Kraken’s main body.
However, the leg was completely torn apart.
bang!
Once again a column of water gushed out.
and.
<It’s the start of a fun hunt!>
He chewed the kraken that had floated in the air with one bite.
[Danger!]
[God Dragon Ktaart Lv.64]
