141. Receive Hunt (1)
bubbling.
The water bubble is boiling.
Inside the pool, Iolka watched her target nervously.
her hand moved.
Perseok!
Flames erupted from the chest of the wooden doll, and the doll was reduced to ashes in an instant.
The blue flame wasn’t enough to burn the doll, it slithered in the water for a few seconds before disappearing.
“Whoa!”
To the surface, Iolka stuck her head out.
It was a very proud face.
“How about it! It’s perfect in the water.”
“You’re a little short on firepower?”
“I adjusted it on purpose. The target is small. It’s different in practice.”
“What is the magic efficiency?”
“You can do it up to three times. After that, you have to drink the potion.”
When I didn’t answer, Iolka looked at me with a worried expression.
‘It’s weaker than expected.’
The fire magic I saw on the 20th floor wasn’t like this.
Even though it was in a dying state, it swallowed a black dragon several meters in size at once.
Well, at this level, it’s a passing line.
It looked like it could deal an effective blow to the water dragon.
In actual combat, he even promised to increase his firepower.
“So… are you going with me?”
“When did you say you weren’t going?”
“You should have fooled me once or twice.”
“Even if you don’t like it, I’ll take you, stop worrying.”
Iolka came out of the pool with a mischievous smile.
I looked to the side.
In the water, Belquist was hacking up a straw doll.
Before I knew it, that guy had grown to the point where he could do his part.
‘The preparations are almost over.’
A red circle was already covering the sea area.
The hunt will begin tomorrow evening at the latest.
That evening, I borrowed Issel’s power and summoned Edith.
“How’s it going?”
<2 The party is over. But the 3rd party is the problem.>
The third party is a group of beastmen.
It was a kissha party.
<You seem to be suffering from severe seasickness. I didn’t even learn to swim. I heard it’s a racial trait.>
“……Racial characteristics.”
indeed.
Instead of being superior in physical ability to ordinary humans, is it a penalty from the other side?
Considering the rules of Pick Me Up, it was not unreasonable.
<No matter how much I teach, I can’t learn it. Although Kishasha barely learns dog paddle, she struggles in real life.>
“Then stop swimming. You’d better help him get used to the seasickness.”
<I’m helping by building a raft.>
I nodded.
Edith seems to be doing well in her own way.
If the party pool is large, the correct answer would be to omit the 3rd party, but I don’t have the power to do that right now.
I had to take it somehow. It’s a fight because you can do it on a boat. I spoke.
“The call will go soon. You can prepare and join right away. This field is…”
I told you the characteristics of this field that I inferred.
The subjugation target is a giant water dragon. Edith was surprised to hear that the creature took no damage while on the water, but as the explanation continued, he gradually calmed down.
<Similar to the 20th floor. Prevent enemy invasion. Right? you attack.>
“maybe.”
<This time… … It won’t be like the 20th floor. I trained a lot.>
“It was an accident, right?”
I responded with a smile at Edith’s determined words.
“Just hang up.”
<Okay.>
I winked and Isel withdrew his hand.
Isel wiped the sweat from his forehead.
[Whoa!]
“Good job.”
[not a big deal. Loki, can you finish this mission in one go?]
“Are you saying? If I can’t finish it in one go, I’ll die.”

[That’s right.]
Isel cleared his throat a couple of times and looked at the door.
[I think there is someone outside the door.]
Tuk-tuk.
A knock was heard.
After Issel disappeared into the light, someone opened the door and entered.
It was Freea.
“Are you busy?”
“I was about to go to sleep.”
“Sorry if I woke you up.”
I grabbed Fria’s wrist as she was about to leave the door.
“Welcome. I wanted to ask you something.”
Freea hesitated and looked at her wrist.
I belatedly withdrew my hand. Pria stuck her ass on top of her bed.
“…ask me.”
The ultimate goal of this mission is not to subdue the water dragon.
finding the key. The water dragon is only a hindrance to that search.
“Anyway, this time I think I’ll have to stay stuck in the boat.”
“You’ve heard that story a hundred times.”
“We’ll find the key. Just tell us the approximate location and appearance.”
After thinking for a while, Freea told me about the key.
I imprinted the location and image of the key in my mind.
and the next day.
[Welcome to Pick Me Up!]
Amkena has logged in.
[New!]
[New Version, Update!]
[Touch ‘here’ to download.]
[Downloading… … .]
[Update is finished.]
[TOUCH ! (optional)]
After a slightly unfamiliar screen passed, Amkenna entered the main menu.
I looked around.
The weather is clear without a single cloud.
Everyone in the first party gathered on the deck.
“Are you ready?”
“I did as much as I could. Didn’t I, sister?”
“Of course. You won’t have any regrets. …Probably.”
Iolka looked at Katio and fell silent.
“If you don’t have confidence, you can leave, wizard.”
“It’s noisy.”
Belquist smirked and wiped his sword with a cloth.
“Dispense the potion. Drink when I signal.”
One bottle per person.
I handed the mermaid’s tears to the members.
I decided to keep Nerissa’s share. After reminding the players of their underwater formations and their respective roles in advance, they looked to the right of their sights. Amkenna was working on the finishing touches to compete.
[It constitutes ‘1 raid’ (small).]
[Party composition – ‘Party 2’, ‘Party 3’, ‘Party 4’, ‘Party 5’]
[Total Heroes – 20]
[Raid Leader – ‘Edith(★★★)’]
The leader of the raid in this mission is Edith.
It’s hard to see the whole battle aspect when I’m in the water. You won’t have much time to lead.
It was a reasonable choice.
Amkena continued the manipulation.
At the bottom of the screen, the ‘start hunting’ box was flashing white.
[Master, do you want to start the next mission?]
[Yes / No]
[Teeling.]
[Move on to the next stage!]
[Now Loading… … .]
[Configuring the field.]
slam!
Suddenly, the stomach rocked violently.
the waves have risen
“It’s started.”
“We can do it. Everyone goes back alive.”
“It sounds natural.”
The waves pushed the airship slowly into the sea.
<How long did you think you could only run away?>
I touched the air behind the boat.
The hand was pushed gently. A transparent wall surrounds the field.
“Katio.”
“I’ll drive for now.”
Katio entered the c*ckpit.
[God Dragon Ktaart Lv.64]
oooooooooooooooooo!
In the distance, a red-eyed water dragon howled.
[‘God Dragon Ktaat’ roars!]
cooong!
The sea roared and soared several meters high.
It was as if a wall had been erected in the sky.
<This is the beginning of the true hunt!>
It started to approach with high waves.
[Warning! Warning! Warning!]
[Floor 35.]
[Mission Type – Steal]
[target – ???]
[Special Goal – Survival of NPC ‘Priasis All Ragna’]
After quickly scanning the mission window, I shouted.
“Everyone to your seats!”
Belquist jumped to the left side of the deck.
A repeating ballista was installed on the left railing.
I jumped to the right.
have the same stuff I grabbed the scope and put my hand on the trigger.
The battle was over.
oooooooooooooooooo!
[Merman Lv.37] X 42
[Cub Water Dragon Lv.34] X 35
[Growth Water Dragon Lv.39] X 17
In the waves, countless shadows sway.
Booung!
The airship rose halfway from the surface.
“Hold tight!”
The airship started riding the waves back.
I stepped on the railing and got my balance.
“Kuaaa!”
I pulled the trigger.
bang! A huge arrow pierced Merman’s torso.
“Avoid him as much as possible. Find the Goddess Statue first!”
“I’ll do it even if you don’t tell me!”
The airship skidded along the waves of the tidal wave.
The angle of the deck bent steeply.
Jenna had her feet planted in the grooves on the deck.
When the string was pulled, the arrow lodged in the water dragon’s forehead.
“Don’t worry about Merman. Deal with the water dragon first.”
“It was meant to be.”
Belquist opened fire.
Every time an arrow jumped out, the cog wheel moved, automatically loading the next arrow.
<I will make this place your tomb!>
A large figure bounced beside the waves.
The guy opened his mouth. hydraulic cannon. It’s a pattern I’ve seen many times.
Katio quickly turned the steering wheel. A water cannon grazed the side.
‘Iolka… … .’
They are watching us, holding onto the railing.
It is conserving mana in preparation for an attack.
Bang!
The ballista tore apart the water dragon and the merman at the same time.
load. fire again. and reload. I grabbed the sight and pulled the trigger incessantly.
‘Where is the object?’
This mission cannot be completed without the Goddess Statue.
While I pulled the trigger, I diligently watched the sea.
<This is my territory!>
The Capitalism moved on the other side of the water dragon and ran against the waves.
On the way, several Mermen clung to the side of the ship, but crashed when the airship swerved.
“It’s okay up to here!”
ping! ping! ping! ping!
I’m on the right, Belquist on the left.
Jenna reinforces the missing parts.
The airship climbed over the crest of the wave and descended to the other side.
<I will not die!>
Perong!
A water cannon grazed the airship.
You’re nasty whining.
“Brother, over there!”
As they descended to the surface, Jenna pointed upward.
I moved my gaze along my finger. Something was shining at the end of the receding waves.
“Looks like you’re at the top?”
“… that’s awful.”
“Shall we turn the boat?”
“It doesn’t matter. I’ll come back on my own.”
The waves that had reached the edge of the field suddenly began to return to the other side.
The flow of water was lightly ignored.
“It really is.”
“Katio, get ready.”
I released my hand from the scope.
Arrows are limited. There was no need to waste arrows from the outpost.
The airship climbed the waves again.
[Merman Lv.37] X 57
[Cub Water Dragon Lv.34] X 42
[Growth Water Dragon Lv.39] X 25
‘Rather, the number has increased.’
I dealt with that much.
I put my hand on the scabbard.
Katio came out on deck.
[Master, leader of ‘Party 1’, ‘Han (★★★)’ suggests manual operation. Would you accept?]
[Yes / No]
Amkena also watched us a couple of times.
You will know what to do.
The airship began gliding slowly over the waves.
“Be careful.”
“It will.”
Katio waved his hand.
Threads of magical power spurted out from her fingertips and gently wrapped around her body.
A strange sensation of floating in the body.
“I just need to get away from it while drawing his attention. I’ll bring the statue of the goddess.”
“I’ll cover you as best I can.”
“I do not need.”
I laughed and jumped over the railing.
Ripples spread from my toes, and my body floated on top of the water.
“Kyaaaaaa!”
Immediately, Merman jumped out.
I lowered my stance and moved my hand.
squeak.
The water parted and Merman’s throat gushed with blood.
one more next to it. swung the sword The water dragon carrying Merman was cut in two, scattering blood and intestines.
“What are you looking at! Go to the other side!”
“Ah Okay!”
The Capitalism arc started to recede.
I ran across the water.
‘I just have to be careful of the attack from under the water.’
Ride the waves and jump high.
The jaws of the water dragon, whose teeth grew like jagged teeth, chewed where I was.
He cut his back as he landed. The guy tore apart with the waves.
bang!
With each swing of the sword, a column of water gushed out, and dark red blood and flesh fluttered.
The corpse of a monster floated nearby. After a while, it was swallowed up by the flow of waves and only sank.
I raced against the wave and increased my speed.
A statue of a goddess in a bathing suit was bobbing on the waves with a circular tube.
‘… … Just kidding.’
The tantrum flared up for a moment, but I managed to suppress it.
The statue is shining blue. It was clear that it was an important object.
I proceeded to tear apart every monster that stood in my way.
“Krak, monster, monster…”
Kwajik.
I plunged the knife into Merman’s forehead as he floundered with his torso cut in half.
And he held a small statue of the goddess in his arms.
‘Are you on vacation?’
[This is an installation type object.]
[Plug it in a suitable location.]
