Episode 417 Departure (1)
Gigantdalos.
Among the sea king species that inhabit the Tower of Trials, it is one of the largest in size.
Should I say it’s like a giant moving island?
If you encounter it for the first time, you are bound to have no idea how to deal with it.
The area where such absurd monsters haunt… .
… … It was right on the road to Pirate Island.
[Level estimate: 170, size: 72m (large species), all abilities increase by 20% when fighting in the sea.]
“Are you saying you’re going here on purpose?”
Cheon Yu-seong muttered as if he was dumbfounded.
I’ve never fought it directly, but according to the information written on the map, it’s a type you should never encounter.
Isn’t there even a penalty on this level where all stats are reduced if the player falls into the sea?
The terrain conditions, which were advantageous to the opponent but unfavorable to this side, were a fatal factor in the battle.
However, Jinhyuk looked the other way as if it was no big deal.
“It’s dangerous, but if you do it right, it’s okay. Besides, what are you worried about? We have strong support, right?”
There are dozens of ships that are still following us.
Excluding a few, most of them are hastily built ships of 4-star or lower, but the number is large enough to be difficult to ignore.
“You’re trying to use it… as bait.”
“Hmm. Bait. If anyone sees me, they’ll think I’m a bad guy. I just wanted to get help so we can enter the island smoothly.”
“That’s bait. Damn. Somehow, he gave in too obediently….”
Cheon Yu-seong’s expression, which had been clicking his tongue, darkened once more.
“Could it be that the notarized certificate I used back then was also fraudulent?”
“Ah. How strong is that binding force? How can I cheat?”
“Well, no matter how much you do such a wasteful thing….”
“I don’t know if I break what’s written in the contract. If I just put it into practice, I will definitely keep my promise.”
“……!?”
No way, the thought passed through my head.
Cheon Yu-seong hastily took out the notarized certificates that had been distributed to everyone.
[The ship of the Stagnant Corporation will be at the forefront, and if everyone safely arrives at the pirate island and eliminates the pirates, all the resulting rewards will be distributed according to the number of participating guilds.]
[Default penalty: 10 million coins]
It was only after hearing the words that I could feel a strange sense of discomfort in what was written.
Cheon Yu-seong pressed his temple with his index finger.
“…Everyone was swept up in the atmosphere… That’s what happened.”
The contents of the notarized certificate are clearly as follows.
There is a clause stating that if everyone arrives at the pirate island ‘safely’, the treasure will be distributed.
“In other words, there is no need to distribute rewards if you don’t reach the island.”
Jinhyuk received the comment instead.
The fact that they deliberately put themselves in a losing position in the first place was all arranged for this purpose.
Escape safely from Giganttalos, arrive at the pirate island, and achieve your goal… .
… … At the end, you just have to deal with Giganttalos, who has lost his strength from dealing with the guilds.
No matter how hard the players rushed in, it was close to impossible to take out Giganttalos in the sea, so there would be no need to worry about losing the last hit.
Cheon Yu-seong opened his mouth as if trying to say something.
However, I didn’t say it out loud.
This is because I knew better than anyone that cursing or criticizing would not have any effect anyway.
“Heh. As expected, you’re my contractor. Noble people don’t care about petty things.”
Only Ellis gave praise with a proud look on his face.
however.
Kurung… Rumble!
Outside the window, faint thunder and sounds were heard in the distance.
There is no storm coming.
Because the thunder ended with just one crash.
Moreover, the lightning that struck later had a red color.
“…….”
Jinhyuk looked in the direction where the lightning struck and gently bit his lip.
* * *
About 3 hours have passed since we started sailing.
The ‘Gandhara’ guild, located at the rear of the fleet, was maintaining a course slightly further out than the other ships.
“There’s no way he did this with good intentions.”
Nirasha’s voice became cold.
I didn’t know what kind of plan he had, so I kept quiet for now, but if things continue like this, something will definitely happen that will lead to a backlash.
And it wasn’t long before we knew the answer.
It was then.
Shake!
The door was kicked down and two people came into the cabin.
“Nirasha!”
Irun and Chandra.
They were rankers belonging to the Gandhara guild.
“Through the relics, we found out what he was planning!”

The ‘Shining Stone’, a holy relic received from the gods of ‘A Thousand Worlds’.
It had the power to provide a glimpse of one of the future dangers through a ritual sacrifice of the heart.
I haven’t been able to use it often due to many restrictions, but isn’t this a hidden card prepared for use in times like this?
“Say it.”
Nirasha jumped up from her seat.
“There is a huge sea dragon sleeping on our way.”
“A sea dragon?”
“Yes. A large species… It also possesses extremely strong magical power.”
“I think it should be considered a level of divine or demonic beast. If I had gone without thinking, the entire fleet would have been destroyed.”
“……Ha! Have you seen this snot-like guy?”
Nirisha’s face twitched grimly.
Now, all ships were following the Stagnant Corporation’s ship at a certain distance.
If a dangerous situation occurred, the intention was to watch from behind and take action.
But, that was exactly what he was aiming for.
On the outside, he may be playing all kinds of heroes, but behind the scenes, he’s planning to escape on his own.
“You really saw us as idiots.”
The thought of wanting to kill this rotten bastard right away filled my head. But I couldn’t.
If, in the process of questioning the source of information, it was revealed that they had used a heart-sacrifice ritual, it was obvious that they would be criticized no differently than the demons.
‘rather… It would be better to pretend to follow his plan and then take advantage of it.’
This is not the time to follow slowly.
We need to catch up to where Stagnant Corporation is located right away.
I didn’t know what kind of prank I would pull to wake the sea dragon, but at least if it was right nearby, there would be a way out.
“Right Now…!”
Nirasha’s command did not finish.
Quaaaang!
A huge spray of water rose above the water.
“Gooooh!”
It feels like my eardrums are going to be torn apart.
Covering the moon floating in the night sky.
A divine beast that surpassed imagination revealed its majesty.
Sea dragon ‘Giganttalos’.
This is the master who rules the ocean.
* * *
“Aaaah!”
“It’s a large demonic beast!”
“Dodge now. Slow down and turn to the side!”
In an instant, the combined fleet fell into a situation of chaos.
I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed because a large bell appeared out of nowhere.
In particular, the biggest reason was that the premise that Goinmul Corporation would be the first even if attacked was shaken.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
When Giganttalos went on a rampage, five ships were torn to pieces.
It was a blow that I couldn’t even think of dodging or blocking.
The good news is that Giganttalos only recognizes objects over a certain size as enemies, so no players died.
Of course, those who fell into the sea could no longer function as combatants.
“Wow. Of course, night fishing is dangerous. I tried to catch a tuna, but all kinds of weird things came out.”
Jinhyuk pulled out the magic stone hanging on the fishing line.
Sigh.
A foul smell stung my nose.
Because it was soaked in water full of Maggi for 8 hours, the scent was completely absorbed.
There is nothing better than this to awaken Giganttalos.
“Mosquito…! Mosquito!”
Even the sweet potato was sick of seeing the half-melted magic crystal.
“This is enough to buy us time, shall we get out of there quickly?”
For the greater good, I had no choice but to go to the island alone… If you say that, it will be enough of an excuse later.
Since the guild’s Oh Ji-won decided to stay behind and do his best to prevent any deaths, a minimum safety net was also prepared.
It was then.
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… .
I thought I could hear the wind blowing… …
Kwakwakwaang!
The side of the White Pearl was engulfed in flames.
It was a magic attack powerful enough to destroy even the drones attached as escorts.
“Brother! There was a sudden attack from the Gandhara guild!”
“Ugh. Are they crazy!”
Taemin Lee and Yoo Yeonhwa shouted.
As he said, 17 ships of the Gandhara guild were closing the distance at extremely fast speed.
Concentrating firepower and launching all kinds of bombings is a bonus.
‘Hoo. ‘Look at these?’
Jinhyuk’s eyebrows were bent into an inverted shape.
The fact that they attacked meant that they noticed this sea dragon bait operation.
however.
‘No one knows where the sea dragon sleeps… ?’
Aluti, who manages this place, only knows about the existence of the sea dragon.
The exact location was not known.
But how… ?
“I will kill you!”
Since they are yelling and screaming like that, it is now pointless to look for the reason.
Because I felt a strong will to kill.
17 5-star ships and 1 8-star ship.
The difference in the performance of the ships themselves was overwhelming, but if they clung to it with the intention of throwing away more than half of it, the situation would become unpredictable.
That is, if we only face each other in this state.
Cuckoo cuckoo!
By the time Nirasha was right in front of us.
Another ship rushed in from the side.
A ship specializing in sinking its opponents with its front part sharpened.
The small, but fast assault ship crashed into Nirasha’s side.
Quaaaang!
A sharp sound of an attack rang out.
“Ugh! What is this again!”
“Giggle!”
“It’s a battle. It’s a battle. Can I kill everyone? Huh? Can I kill everyone?”
A voice steeped in madness stimulated the fur all over my body.
“You guys…?”
Nirasha’s pupils shook greatly.
There’s no way you wouldn’t know.
How could you not know?
Rather than climbing the tower… . A ranker who enjoys tearing apart and killing living things.
Because they stayed on one floor for so long, they were surprisingly not well known to the general public, but among high-level players, there was no one who had not heard of the crazy twins.
Casey and Jude Law.
He is a blonde pleasure killer.
“Hehe. Who do you think has the prettiest hair? That guy or that guy?”
Casey leapt toward Nirasha’s ship, holding the giant hellbird.
He fell into the middle of enemy territory as if he didn’t care about numbers.
Kwasik!
A red mist of blood spreads out.
The phrase ‘cut in half and die’ is probably referring to a time like this.
Casey literally started slaughtering the players on deck.
“Kwaaah!”
“Wow, you crazy people! They said they were going to exterminate the hobgoblin race, but they haven’t been seen for a while.”
“Kill him immediately! We must not let that man join us.”
We have to finish it somehow when only one person comes.
It is known that the synergy that occurs when the two come together is difficult for even top rankers to handle.
But, it was already too late.
Jude Law suddenly had a battle hammer and shield in his hands.
Quaaaang!
Damage greater than that caused by Gigant Talos occurred.
“Damn it!”
When the situation reached this point, Nirasha had no choice but to admit it.
It is impossible to chase down Jinhyeok while dealing with these two leeches.
Moreover, I missed the timing to escape and ended up trapped in the realm of Gigant Talos.
“I’m fighting hard here. I’ll be back before it’s too late.”
Jinhyuk waved his hand at Nirasha.
“I will kill you. I will definitely chew you alive and kill you!”
Nirasha’s evil screams echoed along the sea.
