An arrow quickly fired in the direction Kijung pointed and struck the fishman between the eyes.

Although the distance was over 200m, it was no problem for Bobae. There was not a single user on this ship who turned on the combat assistance system.

“Okay! I’m ready! I will take charge of the stern of the New Serpent, so don’t touch it![Lightning Rod]!”

“What?”

Ruuuuuumble—— “What is that, lightning?”

“Oh, oh, Captain Drake! Lightning struck our mast, right? Our ship is not outside of the storm’s radius.”

Lightning struck Lee Jiwon’s raised sword.

And it wasn’t just one shot.

Bzzt, bzzzt, bzzzt!

Hook, who was near Drake, was worried that there might be a problem with the ship’s mast, but Drake just glanced at Lee Jiwon and ignored him.

“It’s okay. That guy is a lightning rod.”

“Lightning rod?”

That was the name of Lee Jiwon’s skill. Lightning rod. Creating lightning with a skill required a huge amount of mana and casting time. However, where would they go? Although the storm overhead had disappeared, everything around was in the middle of a storm filled with dark clouds. There was a lot of energy related to lightning! And now, Lee Jiwon raised his black sword and gathered all the lightning around him.

“Uwa-hahahaha-hahaha-! Are you nervous?! Do you want to get smashed?!”

“That crazy bastard...”

Luger on the ship across them was taken aback. The lightning continued to strike and constantly flickered in the surroundings.

[Burke.]

[I know! I’m glad a crazy guy like him isn’t on our ship.]

The two captains conversed across the sea as they watched the energy building up in Lee Jiwon’s sword. What would happen in the future and what they should do? The worn-out captains already knew.

“W-what-“

“Kyakyakyakya! It’s so bad I can’t control it![Re-“

Baaaaang!

The two ships accelerated once more!

“-lease]!”

Lee Jiwon pointed his sword toward the stern of the ship and cast a skill.

[What an interesting guy. Don’t you think it was a good idea to keep them alive at that time, Alexander?]

Bailephus, who was blowing his breath toward the fishmen in the sky above the Blue Marlin, looked at Lee Jiwon with an interested expression. The gold dragon thought about the past when he participated in the human national war and fought against Lee Jiwon.

At that time, Alexander tried to kill Lee Jiwon, but Bailephus stopped him. The reason was that at least one more person’s power was needed to prevent Tiamat’s resurrection, so he should be kept alive first, and although Alexander was skeptical, he eventually agreed.

“Such an arrogant bastard has a similar will to us... I didn’t know he would be so active here.”

Alexander also chuckled as he remembered that time. However, was it because he spared Lee Jiwon’s life at that time that Lee Jiwon was showing off such energy now? Alexander was skeptical about that.

“But, the reason he’s here wasn’t just because we spared his life.”

[Hmm.]

“Human grudges are deep. It is especially difficult for people like Lee Jiwon and Luger to agree with us. Because they are still targeting us.”

“Oh, Luger! Great! Shall we give it a try?”

The flames bloomed at the hands of the descendant of the fire mage hero Pyro. Luger did not watch and stood still. If there was one thing that was disappointing to Luger, it was that there were other people who ‘watched and stood still.’

“Oh, oh! If you have the energy, come and help me fix something! That massive lightning damaged the back of our ship!”

“Bring the hammer! Wood! Take whatever scraps of wood we have left!”

As soon as the battle was over, crackling sounds began to be heard everywhere. Even in that atmosphere, Pyro and Luger were able to understand it enough that they did not fight each other. No, there was a more practical reason.

“If you two fought now, you would have had a chance to fight everyone, Luger.”

In this atmosphere, if they had decided to fight 1:1, the other users would have rushed in and overwhelmed the two.

“You’re noisy, Kidd.”

Kidd, who had already crossed from the Blue Marlin, stood next to Luger and smiled. Luger standing next to him stood still. And then, without any hesitation, opened the Three Musketeers’ window and checked the location of the musketeer that wasn’t with them.

[Dawn Sea – Waters of the Dragon Palace – Water Depth 47m]

“Hmmm..”

“At 40m depth... He could move around without an air tank. Damn bastard.”

“He said he has an achievement.”

“That’s why I call him a damn bastard. Keeping it to himself...”

Kidd glanced at the grumbling Luger and couldn’t help but smile.

This was because he knew very well what caused the current dissatisfaction.

“Are you thinking that if you had the achievement, you could have gone with him?”

Kidd realized that Luger’s true intention was to be of help to Leeha.

“W-what kind of bullshit are you talking about, he will eat up all the stats alone and explode and then die. Hmph.”

Luger overreacted and left, but that actually gave Kidd confidence even more.

Because he felt the same.

‘It’s a shame.’

After the first day of Lee Jiwon’s rampage after entering the waters of the Dragon Palace, it took more than a week for the fishmen to appear again.

Meanwhile, Leeha, Sea Bream, and Anderson steadily gained speed.

“Prrrrrrk, prrrk!”

“There is no need to rest. We want to get to the Dragon Palace as soon as possible.”

“Prrrk, prrrk....”

Even though they were mermaids, they still had to rest. Furthermore, even a mermaid had no choice but to expend a lot of stamina to swim while carrying Leeha.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t understand you right now! Even if I push myself, it’s okay because we have a set schedule anyway, right?”

“Kohok, kohok.”

“... Is it? I see. In that case, let’s rest for a while near the coral reef over there,”

Sea Bream tried to pretend not to understand what Leeha said, but Anderson made it impossible to do so. Did getting desperate work? Or maybe Anderson himself was just too tired.

‘We have to move fast but we also need to manage stamina.’

In any case, Leeha’s meaning was the same as Anderson’s interpretation. Like Sea Bream, Leeha also wanted to move quickly, but now was not the time. In some ways, the most difficult thing about ‘marching’ was the distribution of stamina. If they did not rest at the appropriate time, they might collapse at once from the accumulated fatigue.

‘The first march lasts ten days. If you think of it as a 10-day sleepless march... it wouldn’t be surprising if I died in real life.’

Because they were mermaids, a race with stamina superior to that of humans, it was at least possible, but on the 7th day after entering the waters of the Dragon Palace, the decline in stamina of Sea Bream and Anderson became noticeable.
