Chapter 423

In some ways, it was fortunate that Kijeong let all the users into the cabin.

His kindness to prevent aggro from spreading and to prevent other users from being harmed was rewarded in this case.

What if Rafaella healed once when receiving about 149,000 damage? All conditions will have been reset.

‘If you look at that, Middle Earth is also amazing. How could they have inserted so many conditions to harass users? Still, if you look at how popular it is... After all, are you motivated to play games that are difficult?’

Leeha shook his head, letting out air bubbles. However, I was hoping that the game would be a little easier, at least for now.

This is because not only the C team below, but also the A team, which was not chased by the fishmen after Drake’s mermaid incident, were moving smoothly.

‘It would be nice if we continued like this... The next week is important.’

In just two more days, Team A will enter the central part of Yonggung’s waters. If nothing happens then, Hyein’s B team will begin to move in earnest.

And what about Leeha, a member of Team C?

Three days later, I arrived near the Dragon Palace, logged out, went to Middle Earth to rest for a day, and then logged in again to move.

[Kyu, kyak!]

It was then that Blaugrun, held by Anderson, flapped his wings.

“Hey, did you say Mr. Blaugrun? “Your boundary range is wider than mine?!”

“... You’re not going to like it, Anderson. “What is there, Dragon?”

[Kyukyukkyun! Kkyukkyun!]

Hearing the bronze dragon’s urgent cries, Leeha’s expression began to harden.

What does it mean that it is the 18th day since Team C, Leeha, entered the waters of the Dragon Palace?

Based on the criteria below, it means that you have already been online for 48 hours, then took a 5-hour break, and have been online again for about 36 hours.

This means that mental fatigue has accumulated tremendously.

Leeha understood Blaugrun’s words and sighed.

“Kkorok, kkorok...”

It’s like, “Eoin.”

Even though the words only let out bubbles, Anderson and Sibrem were able to understand the situation by looking at Leeha’s expression.

‘Ugh, then that’s right.’

There was no way Middle Earth would let me go that easily.

[Quew! Kkyukkyun!]

“It’s not within our detection range yet... “What should we do, sir?”

“Our waves could get caught by them. First, pay attention to the direction the dragon is pointing and pause for a moment. “They move together with the schools of sardines over there.”

“All right!”

Anderson and Sibrim, who were moving at high speed, slowly slowed down and approached the school of fish around them.

If humans had approached, it would have been a school of fish that would have been scattered, but these are mermaids, the spirits of the water and the Wave-Undine family!

The fish swam gently and accepted the mermaids as one of their own.

‘Do you understand it as a wave? Right. If we move together at the same speed like this, the fish people’s ultrasonic detection will only interpret us as part of a shoal of sardines.’

It was a camouflage tactic, so to speak.

However, this camouflage is somewhat unfamiliar to those who are snipers on land; it is closer to the camouflage that a submarine can use.

“Kkorok?”

Leeha suddenly felt a cool sensation on the back of his neck and turned his head.

A fish the size of my palm was poking at the back of my neck. Sardine’s shining eyes and Leeha’s eyes met for a moment.

‘Kick, is the difficulty difficult? It’s a game that irritates people, but I can’t quit because of this experience.’

A different experience from existing virtual reality games.

The freshness of stimulating various senses that are difficult to feel in reality.

There were bound to be many pragmatists who used the time gap between Middle Earth and reality rationally and efficiently, as well as users who simply played the game for a new and unique experience.

“ah! Caught! “It’s over there.”

“You already knew?”

“yes? ah... yes.”

Their eyeballs could clearly be seen rolling from the following position.

“Hockey, it’s food.”

“Leeha, Just bring the kraken here and feed it.”

“Hakit! Go back and-”

“〈Bubble Shoot〉” “〈Bubble Shoot〉!”

And when they finally approached, Sibrim and Anderson used their skills.

The air bubbles that shot out from the mermaids’ hands were instantly sucked into the fishmen’s mouths.

What was surprising was what happened next.

To Leeha, who had no idea how their skill mechanism worked, a comical scene was being produced.

“Hakyuup!”

“Key-ip, key-ip—!”

This is because the two fishmen were turned upside down, struggling and rising little by little.

“Kkorok?”

There was no time to ask, “What is that?”

“Now is the time, Leeha! It won’t last long, so hurry!”

Sibrim quickly swam away, snatched the weapon from one of the overturned fishmen, and began dealing with the other fishman, which was not incapacitated.

“Crock, crock!”

Leeha swam on her own without anyone to catch her anymore and headed towards the fishmen.

However, I couldn’t attack them carelessly because I couldn’t understand what was happening to the fishmen who were upside down, struggling and screaming.

[Kkyun! Kyakki!]

“Just attack, Leeha! What the captain and I fed to them was air! I can’t control my swim bladder, so I can’t sink underwater! “They’re upside down and can’t keep their balance, so just kill them!”

I could understand the following as I heard Anderson yelling behind me.

As expected, the brutally realistic Middle Earth was showing its true value in places like this.

‘Does that method work because it’s a fish? good! If that’s the case, I can’t just sit still!’

It is said that fishmen are more aggressive than mermaids and have superior basic physical combat abilities.

Since Sibrim is a mermaid of the rank of captain of the Sea God Guard, he will be able to kill at least one fishman in no time, but the other fishmen will be normalized before that.

What Sibrim and Anderson wanted was to neutralize at least one of Leeha’s remaining two before that, and Leeha was confident in that task.

“Korororok, boogurrrrrrrrrrrrr!”

Leeha reached into his bag and took out a black stick that looked slightly longer than a wand.

[Yep! Wow! Wow!]

―Leeha, Mr. Blaugrun! So, hurry up and become an adult! So we can make more things like this!

Even black bass are useless underwater.

So what weapons are left? Should I use a flamethrower? That also makes no sense.

Unless you are at the Pyromancer Pyro’s special skill level, flames cannot overcome seawater, not at sea level but underwater.

‘If I hadn’t had this weapon in the first place, I wouldn’t have volunteered for the mermaid quest!’

I’ve never used it before.

It was literally one of the last weapons left for ‘self-defense’.

But what on earth can a stick without even a decent blade do?

“Hakit! “Human – Leeha!”

“Mermaids, Leeha! I brought a human! “The sea level hakyuns have come down!”

The fishmen who had turned over and were struggling also discovered the following.

The actions of the guys who tried to keep Leeha in check by swinging their weapons, arms, and legs wildly were quite threatening, but since Leeha couldn’t move properly, Leeha was able to evade them with his somewhat poor swimming skills.

[Yep! Blaugrunn

cried as if cheering for Leeha.

It has to be that way. This is because what Leeha is holding now is another ‘own’ item.

Before being born as an Easter egg, when I was an adult-class bronze dragon, I received two dragon scales from Blaugrun.

One was used to make a flamethrower, but what about the other one?
