Chapter 103

103. Wave parasitic plant 2

Chowwaaaaaa!

with a plop!

What appeared after breaking the ice was a gigantic blue-black squid.

Two legs of a giant squid to be exact.

“That’s a sequoia squid, right?”

“yes. That’s it.”

A monster squid that invaded the shore of the northern lake that Seyel Katyler was talking about.

They were the ones who steadfastly guarded the north side of the lake even when all the other monsters had fled.

“To be specific, it’s a ’tilde parasitic’ Sequoia squid.”

It’s not an alter ego to be used and discarded like a kamapan fish, but a poor guy infected by the main body that is the culprit of all the incidents.

What’s more pitiful is that there’s a high probability that it’s still alive, not dead like the kamapan fish.

‘Somehow those smart and dirty guys didn’t run away and stayed.’

Kang Seung-hyun took the stamina potion into his mouth.

‘Because the boss was infected first.’

The subordinates would just follow what they were told, or they would be planted with alter egos of parasitic plants.

“I never thought that a squid this big would live.”

Kim Ho-jeong muttered with a confused face.

Only the bridge visible above the water was over 10m, so I had no idea how big the squid body would be.

“The guy I saw at the Katyler family’s house was short.”

“Of course this size is not normal.”

I’ve heard that Sequoia squid come in a wide variety of sizes. However, it must have grown to that extent because of the large amount of magic flowing from Kamar.

‘It seems that he didn’t become a mutant by the margin.’

Because of that, it seems that it was attacked by the wave parasitic plant body.

It’s not a weak monster though.

“First of all, start with the buff...”

[Enhancement – Increase defense]

It was the moment a turquoise needle was created in Kang Seung-Hyun’s hand.

Aaaaa!!!

A violent wave rose and the Sequoia Squid’s legs began to move.

The shattered ice sheet swayed dangerously.

“Looks like they’re going to attack. First of all...”

“Damn it... I’m dizzy...!”

Kim Ho-jeong sat down with a pale face.

It seemed like he was trying to hold on using the shovel as a support, but it didn’t look easy because of severe motion sickness.

“Uuuwegeg.”

Kim Ho-jung vomited and suffered.

It would be difficult for a nobleman, who has difficulty riding a boat, to survive on a piece of ice worse than a raft.

“Ah, if only that ship was fine!”

“The ship is now...”

Kang Seung-hyun slightly moved his gaze.

At best, the boat made with expensive enchantment powder was washed away.

“It’s about there.”

“Too far...”

If you swim hard, you should reach it, but before that, the squid legs will harpoon you.

Kim Ho-jeong covered her face and muttered.

“Sorry, sir. I don’t think dying will be of any help now....”

“It can’t be helped.”

Kang Seung-hyun took the stamina potion into his mouth.

Even though my colleague was knocked out,

‘I can’t deal with anything alone.’

It’s a common thing for wild healers.

Seunghyun Kang pulled the trigger of the crossbow toward his feet with a face that was nothing special.

[Fria’s bond pouch]

[Generates ice potion arrows.]

Brilliant!

Ice arrows froze the lake water and firmly fixed the broken ice sheet.

‘At this rate, I should be able to last for 15 minutes, no, 10 minutes.’

Kang Seung-hyun left Kim Ho-jung behind and moved forward.

“Your uncle is recuperating there.”

Whoops!

Sequoia Squid’s right leg moved.

I hit it down at a fairly fast speed, but

it hit me!

shaaaaaaaaa

Kang Seung-hyun deliberately slipped on the ice to evade the attack.

‘Even though it’s inconvenient to move on the ice, it can be used this way.’

And at the same time as holding the center, I pulled the trigger toward the squid leg.

‘Though it’s slow because it shoots outside the water.’

[Harpoon Arrow ★]

Pabababak!!

Black harpoon arrows pierced the legs of the Sequoia Squid.

‘Because there’s nothing better than this for a monster that lives in water.’

It’s so big that even if you shoot it slowly, you won’t miss it.

‘I should have prepared a wide kitchen knife.’

Kwak

quack!

Then I heard the sound of ice breaking under my feet.

Chwaaaaa!!!

Sequoia’s other leg broke through the ice and popped out.

‘As expected, he took out more legs.’

This was expected.

Because it disabled the use of two good legs.

‘Then I’ll have to smash that too.’

[Freeah’s bond pouch]

[Generates an ice potion arrow.]

Kang Seung-hyun was about to prepare an ice arrow.

“...!”

Pooh!

Instead of approaching Kang Seung-hyeon, Sequoia’s legs attacked Balik who was nearby.

“Ughhhhhh!”

The moment Valik fell, he snatched him up and dragged him to the bottom of the lake.

Instead of fighting Kang Seung-hyeon, he started targeting other humans.

“Mr. Balik!”

[Hook Shot – Crane]

Tsarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Kang Seung-hyeon fired a grappling arrow and pulled Sequoia by the leg as she was trying to drag Balik away.

Aww!

[Cutting]

And then, wielding silver glory, he tore off the dragged leg.

thud!

Valik’s captive body was barely freed.

‘I saved this guy for now, but what about the others?’

Kang Seung-hyeon confirmed that Balik was safe and hurriedly looked back.

Another sequoia’s bridge was about to drag Daisy and Rudy to the bottom of the lake.

“no!”

Fuck!

At that time, Kim Ho-jeong, who was next to her, threw herself and pushed Daisy away.

Then I tried to save Rudy, but

Kwaaak!

Sequoia’s legs wrapped around Kim Ho-jung’s body along with Rudy’s.

“...!”

“Mr. Kim Ho-jeong!”

And without a chance to use their hands, the two were dragged into the lake.

‘It’s too late to chase after me. Let’s turn off the fire first.’

Kang Seung-hyeon pulled the trigger before the two were completely dragged into the lake.

[Fria’s bond bag]

[Generates wind potion arrows.]

Pak!

Wind arrows flew into the bodies of the two.

[Wind property enhancement +25%]

Splash!

Shortly thereafter, the two disappeared into the deep water.

It really happened in the blink of an eye.

“Healer Kang Seung-hyun... Maybe it’s good...”

Daisy, who barely got up, muttered with a bewildered face.

Valik seemed to have fainted from the shock from earlier.

“You don’t have to worry too much. Since I used the wind potion, I won’t drown right away.”

You should be able to hold out for at least 10 minutes.

Kang Seung-hyun drank the stamina potion.

‘I was thinking of going to George anyway.’

Then he threw the empty bottle he was holding onto the floor.

It was a resentment.

‘I never thought Kim Ho-jung would be dragged away.’

Kim Ho-jung might be able to get out by herself, but due to her personality, she wouldn’t be able to leave a young kid alone.

‘They’re both going to die trying to save the child.’

You have to catch the squid before it goes bad.

Losing a trustworthy colleague isn’t very nice.

‘The problem is that this boss battle is in the water.’

A boss fight that drowns when time is over.

Boss mobs even have the ability to regenerate.

‘Piercing with an arrow is inefficient and using a dagger to cut a leg takes too long. I’ll need a new weapon.’

Seunghyun Kang looked around.

‘Good for cutting legs... Something like a big gray knife.’

Of course, there’s no way there’s anything like a gray knife in the middle of the lake,

but hey.

damn

‘I have to make something if it doesn’t exist.’

There were ingredients to make a wild hoe knife.
