“Brrrrrrgh...”

Bubbles bubbled up when Leeha, who was on Sea Bream’s back, opened his mouth to speak.

“What?”Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com

[Kyukyu?]

Anderson and Blaugrun, held in Anderson’s hand, saw the air bubble. Whispering wasn’t difficult, but it was more uncomfortable than speaking directly.

Leeha: I’m so frustrated I can’t even talk! Ah, it’s nothing special, I was just wondering if you are prepared for the fishmen!

“Of course. It might be different on the surface, but here our detection capabilities are not any less.”

“Hehe, we can sense them with ultrasound coming from here.”

While listening to Sea Bream, Anderson pointed to his forehead. Even though he was a muscular mermaid, Anderson looked pretty and had a small scale on his forehead.

‘Given their comments, can I assume the border situation is under control? The real issue, however, is speed. Since it is underwater and they are swimming, they can definitely move faster than a ship. Also, taking into account that the mermaids need breaks, can I assume that we will eventually arrive at the central waters of the Dragon Palace around the same time? If everything proceeds as expected, we should be there in about 19 days and 12 hours.’

In the central waters of the Dragon Palace, just at sea level, lay an immobile island known as ‘Buoy’. Below the surface, nestled on the sea bed, was the ‘Dragon Palace’. The areas designated for the New Continent expedition team to carry out their operations were quite similar. However, Leeha found his thoughts tangled in complexity.

‘The starting point of the operation will be slightly different.’

Team A had several users. They could go through the central part of the waters of the Dragon Palace and log out once they exited the waters of the Dragon Palace.

Team B consisted of only Hyein, but the operation started near Buoy Island. In other words, until then, he had to focus on defending against the fishmen with the users of Team A, then log out at an appropriate time, log in after a break, and complete his duties.

But what about Team C?

Leeha was literally alone, not even a team. Therefore, it meant that there was no one to switch with him for the logout rotation and no one to take over his mission, even if only a short period of time. Moreover, unlike Hyein’s team, Leeha had already started his operation.

‘Furthermore, maybe it is because he’s the sea god, undine clan, or whatever, but the waters of the Dragon Palace is also incredibly large.’

The entire diameter of the waters of Dragon Palace was about 40 days away at the sailing speed of the ship, and from the outskirts of the waters of the Dragon Palace to the center alone, it was only 20 days. How many days did Leeha, who started his operation after entering from the outskirts, have to carry out the operation? Maintaining connectivity throughout that period was close to impossible. Therefore, what was confirmed in advance was the effect of [Water Ring]. Leeha thought about it the most.

‘How will the 20m distance limit be applied while logging out?’

It was a blessing in disguise.

‘Even if I log out, I will be near Sea Bream.’

If one thought about it simply, it was a movement-restricting skill, but after creating an application method, it became possible to use it as an excellent movement skill.

‘No, I have to stay connected as long as possible. As much as possible!’

It was not the time to stop and rest. It was the most relaxed time when the fishmen flocked toward the vessels serving as bait.

‘The mermaids also increased their speed without resting and agreed to rest for a day when I logged out. Tsk, me too, but in the case of the mermaids, it’s like moving for 10 days and resting for 1. If they were human NPCs, they would have just fainted and stretched out.’

Mermaids were not in a position to choose between hot and cold food. It was not possible to confirm whether they had higher physical strength than human NPCs or whether they could survive without sleep. However, Sea Bream and Anderson also agreed to move for 10 days and sleep for 1 day, and move again for 10 days and rest for 1. Of course, there would be time to stop and rest along the way, but it was a schedule no different from a hellish march.

Baaaang, baaang, baaang—!

Inside the cabin, the sound of culverine firing constantly rang. Fishmen were creatures with human arms and legs sprouting from the body of a fish.

There were some that swam like dolphins at the sea surface and came toward the ship, but there were also quite a few that swam from the bottom of the sea. However, they were invisible to the users at the deck. It could not even be caught by Oracle Rubini or Dancer Chiyou’s skills.

How would they deal with them?

It was difficult to think of a way. Except to shoot indiscriminately.

“Change the type of bullet! Insert the prepared fishing net! Insert the chain shells into the cannon chambers that are not equipped with fishing net shells!”

“Starboard gun- fire!”

Baaang, baaaang—!

Two cannonballs flew from the muzzle of the huge culverine cannon and began to spread. Connected between the cannonballs were thin, long nets. Normally, the chain was aimed at destroying sails or masts, but as they entered the waters of the Dragon Palace, Kraven users developed better cannonballs to deal with the fishmen. The new continent expedition team were high-level users who created countermeasures based on their experience of fighting just once!

A huge water fountain soared up with the whistling sound of a flying cannonball.

“Hamu-!”

“Kyukyuhak, hat! It works!”

“Make more! What is this guy with his hands idle! Keep making fish nets!”

The interior of the cabin, which was not visible from the outside, was also busy.

Not to mention the deck. Drake had partially removed the storm in the sky, and the Blue Marlin and New Serpent’s acceleration skills and wave-ignoring skills were showing off their effectiveness to the fullest, but the fishmen’s offensive was strong.

“Kiskis, you said you fought with these guys? [Poison Stink].”

Biyemi shook his head and sprayed water mist outside the deck. The small particles, which seemed no different from spray from the sea, spread widely and created a barrier.

“Hakyu- uhh?”

“Eup, hakit! Hakit!”

As many as five fishmen were approaching that place. However, those who were swimming with their gills spread hastily changed direction.

“Uwa, what skill is that?”

“Kiskis, I tried it just in case, and it worked. It’s a poison that utilizes a bad smell. Rather than being poison, it is used to chase away birds or insect-type monsters...”

Biyemi laughed happily. Poison did not simply reduce HP. The venom mage, who knew Middle Earth’s system, drove the fish away in a way that other users could not even imagine.

“If you overdo it, you will lose experience....” It was something worth using... While everyone was busy dealing with the fishmen, Lee Jiwon climbed onto the mast, moved around calmly, and looked around.

“Lee Jiwon-ssi! What are you doing? Hunt quickly- [Spread arrow]!”

Bobae showered arrows and shouted at Lee Jiwon, but the second on the ranking, the most needed user at the moment, just sat there and ignored her.

“Waaak! Bobae-ssi, look over ther!”

“Ah, right, heavy shot!”

Huuuu, pak!
