Episode 426. Undersea city ‘Atlantis’ (2)
What appears in ‘The Eye of Gluttony’.
[Person information]
Name: Lepitia an Drakaonmia the Artanmir
Level: 85
Unique Ability: Will of the Sea Current (race-specific ability)
Skills: Seahorse Training Lv15, ‘Batch Command’ Lv15, ‘Multi Shot’ Lv14, ‘Sea’s Holy Lance’ Lv14.
Copy Conditions: The mermaids’ trust in humans is currently at a crawling state. In order to gain their trust, there are several things that need to be resolved.
1. Give names to at least three mermaids (but only if they like the name and use it).
2. Please hand over the Spear of Atlantis.
3. Return the stairs to the 29th floor’s true owner.
Race-specific unique abilities.
All mermaids have the same unique ability, and in the sea, the one that boasts unimaginable efficiency is the ‘will of the ocean current.’
‘There are three conditions, but you have to get it somehow.’
Not only on the 29th floor, but also on the upper floors, you often have to fight underwater.
At that time, whether you have this ability or not will make a huge difference.
‘First, I need to start by coming up with an appropriate name.’
Naming a name is not an easy task.
Especially when both parties are satisfied.
This is an area reserved only for those with amazing sense and overflowing with brilliant ideas.
Jinhyuk slowly opened his mouth.
“How about salmon sushi?”
Fish from Earth that do not exist on the 29th floor.
There were exactly similar types, but their names were different.
This is something you will never forget.
Lepitia, with her scarlet hair and armor as white as rice, matched perfectly with the salmon sushi.
“What is salmon sushi?”
“It’s a popular name in our world. It’s very popular.”
“Oh. Is that so? It’s a name I quite like. By the way, does Her Majesty also have a human name?”
hmm. It’s the queen’s name… .
“Tuna sushi.”
As I recall, the queens of Atlantis have had pink hair for generations.
“The word sushi overlaps… I guess it has some meaning.”
“It’s a type of title. All you need to know is that it is given only to those whom humans approve of. I saw earlier that your skill in commanding your subordinates was not average, right?”
“Hmm! Well, it’s because we mermaids have been training so rigorously since we were young. It’s more of an honor than that. A title like Her Majesty the Queen….”
Lepitia, no, salmon sushi nodded as if satisfied.
This made the atmosphere a little softer.
As salmon sushi, I can’t help but shrug my shoulders as I have received recognition from a powerful person with enormous power.
furthermore… .
‘It’s the same with having our sacred relics and handling the seahorses so freely… . ‘I’m definitely not an ordinary human being.’
A legend recorded and handed down in literature.
There is a story that a ‘hero’ made up of a mixture of mermaids and humans will appear and save Atlantis at a time of crisis.
It is said that someone will definitely appear who will change the lives of those who have suffered as slaves to pirates for hundreds of years.
The mermaids were holding on and holding on, relying only on that hope.
The green pupils narrowed.
‘The strength you showed a little while ago… .’
It’s definitely true.
The main character recorded in the literature is that man.
And looking at that salmon sushi, Jinhyuk clicked his tongue inwardly.
‘Well, it’s probably misleading.’
It is not unreasonable for them to think that way.
A warrior, no, more accurately a returner.
Among the residents born in the Tower of Trials, it refers to those who returned from another dimension.
What is in the literature is probably a record of returnees sometimes floating down the stairs and rescuing those who were being persecuted.
‘Because most of the returnees were close to being good-hearted. Especially if it’s him.’
The person who came here is the returnee ‘Medray’.
It may currently be on the 30th floor, but in the past, a kingdom was destroyed here and all the mermaids there were saved.
In the end, thanks to that guy, things got easier.
“Then, I will guide you.”
The group started moving quickly again.
How long has it been like that?
After traveling for a long time, Jinhyeok and the mermaids were finally able to reach their destination.
[Enter the hidden place underwater city ‘Atlantis’!]
A spectacular sight unfolding in the deep sea.
Clearly, even though we were several kilometers down, the sunlight was still shining inside.
‘They say it’s home to unique bacteria, and it’s really fascinating.’
Jinhyuk let out a small exclamation.
As the saying goes, Atlantis had a scenery as beautiful as any major city on earth, no, even more beautiful than that.

The guard guarding the entrance quickly showed respect.
“I’ve already heard the story about the Spear of Atlantis. In Lepitia….”
“From now on, call it salmon sushi.”
“yes?”
“It’s the name given by the hero who brought the spear.”
“Hero…?”
Behind the guard, Jinhyeok was seen skillfully driving a seahorse.
“Is that really true?”
“It’s not certain, but there are a lot of things that fit. At least you’re not talking nonsense.”
“I see.”
The guards’ expressions became even stiffer.
If the opponent is truly a hero, you cannot look down on him just because he is human.
“I understand. I will lead you right away. Her Majesty is waiting for you.”
* * *
Pillars lined up left and right.
A beautiful mermaid with pink hair was sitting on a large and magnificent throne.
In terms of human years, no matter how many times you looked at him, he looked like he was in his early 20s.
And on the left and right, there were guards wearing armor.
Jinhyuk went inside following Salmon Sushi’s instructions.
“Oh… you mean the author is a hero?”
“They say that person even wiped out the Pain Pirates. That’s what our entire army couldn’t do.”
“What kind of hero is this? You’re a bastard who broke the sacred thousand-year conch.”
“Chang must have been up to something. It doesn’t make sense that something that disappeared for so long would suddenly appear.”
There were conflicting reactions.
It was a small voice, almost like a whisper, but all the words were heard in Jinhyeok’s ears.
“Welcome to Atlantis. It took a lot of hard work to come this far.”
A voice like jade beads rang out.
Everyone’s eyes turned to the queen.
“No. Thanks to you, my eyesight has improved. Oh, my name is Kang Jin-hyuk.”
Jinhyuk bowed his head briefly, placing his index and middle fingers on his left chest.
It is a movement that does not deviate even an inch from the mermaids’ etiquette.
“Humans follow the example of the imperial family….”
“What happened?”
The inside became noisy once again.
“You may have noticed, but there are conflicting opinions about Kang Jin-hyuk. Although he killed the spirit beast that we consider sacred, he also possesses the sacred relics of Atlantis. Of course, I heard the reason why he did so. Please make sure to ask me. “Did you say it was to meet you?”
“Yes. As mermaids who are sensitive to the sea may have sensed, an ancient life form is currently awakening on this level.”
Kraken, a disaster that cannot even be compared to Gigantdalos.
“I know about that, but the Kraken is targeting the creatures above the sea, not us.”
Numerous pirates and kingdoms occupying the 29th floor.
Predating them would be a priority.
Above all, mermaids who move quickly while interacting with the sea were not attractive prey for the Kraken.
In the end, it means that it is far behind in priorities.
but,
“Have you ever thought about what happens after they’re all dead? You may last for months or years, but one day you’ll pay for your neglect. As long as every living thing on this level dies, it will never stop. .”
“…….”
The queen’s lips were tightly pressed together.
Yes.
It’s just a time difference.
Atlantis also could not be a safe base forever.
Even if it is not the current queen’s era, future queens will have to endure the pain of the fall of the country.
“So, are you saying that if I join hands with you, we can drive out that demon?”
“Saving the race in moments of crisis. Isn’t that the meaning of the existence of a hero?”
Jinhyuk declared himself a warrior without changing his expression.
It’s a bonus that I intentionally put a lot of strength into my shoulders and puffed out my chest.
ah… . If it were Cheon Yu-seong or Teresa at a time like this, they would have smiled leisurely.
I can’t do it because I feel like if I do, it will be looked down upon and ridiculed.
“……If you are truly a hero, it would be possible to deal with the Kraken. If you are truly a hero.”
A question mixed with doubt.
This is the final test.
Is there solid evidence that can put all doubts to rest at once?
And to that question… .
Ugh!
Jinhyuk opened the subspace inventory without saying a word.
What came out of there was a bracelet with a unique pattern engraved on it.
‘Returner’s Bracelet’ obtained from the Kunlun Sect’s treasure trove.
It was one of the relics left by Medray.
“I-it’s true….”
“It’s exactly the same as Medray’s relic.”
This time, an exclamation close to shock erupted.
A unique pattern left in literature.
This is something that anyone other than mermaids would never know.
Making counterfeit products in advance was also impossible.
“……It was true.”
The queen also nodded as if she agreed to everything.
If the hero had really appeared, there would be no reason to hesitate.
“We will follow your decision. We will also help you fight the Kraken.”
Finally, the queen made a decision.
“Oh, Your Majesty!”
“that…!”
At that moment, a dissenting voice emerged.
“I have already made a decision. Ministers, please concentrate on preparing for war.”
An order once given cannot be reversed.
Even more so if there is a justification that a hero to succeed Medray has appeared.
‘I think the vice-principal and the nine gallows were of great help.’
A smile appeared on Jinhyeok’s lips.
Since we were promised support from the mermaid race, this increased our odds considerably.
But right then.
“step.”
The Queen added an unexpected condition.
“In addition to returning the Spear of Atlantis, there is something you must do. You have Sir Medray’s relic, so Jinhyeok Kang knows about it, right?”
Wait, now that I think about it… .
It seems like there was more to it in the literature I read before.
-A warrior must leave behind descendants. To prevent another danger that will come in the future.
A mixture of mermaids and humans.
This was the reason why the queen approached him too warmly in the first place.
At the point when it becomes clear that you are a hero, you will no longer be strangers.
at the same time.
Brrrr… .
The ‘Braham Ring’ on my finger trembled violently.
Ellis, who secretly came to Atlantis with him by hiding in the ring, is furious.
The emotions were conveyed without filtering to the point where all the seals were broken.
“Hero? Will you accept our conditions?”
“…….”
Jinhyuk swallowed his dry saliva.
Cold sweat running down my cheeks.
This is a bit difficult.
A lot of that too.
