ED:

“Waaah!”

“Watching that charge attack, Alexander seems like the main character.”

“Hmm, wow, what a savory smell.”

“...Is that really your impression after seeing that skill, Kijung-ssi?”

Although Bobae scolded Kijung as he wrinkled his nose, it was actually a positive sign.

“Keke, well, considering it’s an ancient-class dragon causing such a ruckus... though they only caught one, we can do as well.”

“Awesome! There, Jin-nim! Is the fire magic you mentioned last time ready?”

“Countdown 15 seconds! Let’s go together!”

This signaled a resurgence of energy among the previously stunned players. As the magician players began casting their skills, Pei Wu, ‘Bald Panda’, and the brothers, Daoist Baeju and Daoist Mu also leaped out of the ship. “We will lure them away so they cannot approach the ship!”

“In the New Serpent, we’ll target the ones starting on the left first – 1, 2, 3, 4. Give us a signal before using area skills!”

Choi-choi-!

Even while swiftly moving across the water, they managed to plan and execute with ease.

But they weren’t alone. Dragon Tamer Yongyong and his pet, Summoner Elmi with his summons, and Jin Gonggong also began distracting the Krakens by attacking their tentacles while transforming them into flying objects.

The krakens, moving towards the ship, couldn’t continue their approach. Though they weren’t receiving significant damage, losing their ‘means of attack’ – their tentacles – made further movement difficult.

“[Iron Wire Net]”

“[Whirlwind Kick]”

The martial artists skillfully dodged the squids’ tentacles, which danced through the air trying to grasp them.

Catching the martial artists, with their swift and small movements, was nearly impossible for the squids in the water.

“Jin-nim!? Are you ready?”

Pyro had already finished casting, trembling as he called out to Elementalist ‘Jin’.

With a full mana charge, a slight loss of concentration could cause an involuntary release of the skill, but even in such a situation, his control was impeccable.

“Ready!”

“We’ll help too.”

“Just tell us the number, arsonist.”

Kid and Luger also approached as Pyro’s big mouth opened from side to side.

“Awesome, then target number twoooo—“

The New Serpent, which had been sailing steadily, seemed to shudder from the impact.

Pyro, a descendant of the Fire Mage Hero; Jin, a descendant of the Elementalist Hero; Kid and Luger, descendants of the Musketeer Heroes.

The skills of these four poured forward like fire, leaving no tentacles in their path.

Kieeeee!

Unable to bear the pain, the main body of the Kraken surfaced, and as Luger reloaded his cannon, a voice swiftly approached from behind. “Hard leash done, pissed off, ”

“Lee-Lee Jiwon, you ba-“

“[Corona Jet]!”

Shuwaak!

Lee Jiwon, like lightning, precisely struck the Kraken’s eye with his black sword.

Not stopping there, he twisted the sword as if to burrow into the eye, executing a brutal move. This gruesome act was an attack on the kraken’s instant death point, a product of Lee Jiwon’s experience with super-large monsters. The Kraken turned into light in an instant. “Epic experience points! Thanks! Good job!”

“You- you bastard, just like last time with Igor! Stop, you damn-“

Luger, furious, was about to chase after him, but Lee Jiwon had already disappeared using flight magic.

“Ah, the sea snakes-‘ The communication stopped there.

‘That’s definitely not ordinary.’ Although the team had to save time, Leeha kept talking to Sea Bream.

Leeha: What about the Serpents? What’s their weakness?

“[Adorned with a shining crown, pulling a twin-chariot, ruling the seas – the Sea God’s glory and power are told in this sea. Within the Dragon Palace’s waters, the shining crown represents the Sea God’s power, and outside, it’s the twin chariot.”

“Korororok?”

It was hard to understand, but Sea Bream had some understanding of the nuance to some extent.

“Exactly, those two beings, adorned with glory, pulling the twin chariot, are the Serpents... Indeed, they are the literal strongest. No sea creature in the ocean can defeat the Serpents. The giant moray eels are just their snack, and even the Giant Albatross, occasionally descending near the sea surface, gets snatched up and eaten. Krakens? They spray ink and flee upon facing Serpents.”

“Korororok.”

“There’s no weakness. Flame? Water? Ice? Electricity? No magic works on them. And their skin, harder than the deepest sea rock? The biggest problem is that. They’re not beings that human weapons can affect.”

Sea Bream had a complex expression.

The Serpents, embodying even the Sea God’s power, were a source of pride for the Undine race. But the current situation?

It became a problem. If the humans were annihilated by the overly powerful Serpents... then it was their turn to face trouble.

“What? Skills don’t work? Then how are they supposed to just fight? If they just fight, will it become mutual destruction and die together?”

Perhaps they just had to find a way to buy time.

Sea Bream’s complex expression and Anderson’s gloomy face didn’t deter Leeha.

He kept striving for more information, communicating everything to Kijung and the other players.

Leeha: Then, is there no way to defeat them, even if it’s not their weakness? Do we just have to fight blindly? It’s the primitive way of raiding! It would be great if there was a more efficient method given the circumstances, but if not, we’ll have to do it that way.

‘No, there must be a way. If it’s as Sea Bream says, we might be facing a difficulty level beyond a high-ranking boss, perhaps even greater than an adult white dragon raid... It’s too much to ask us to beat them without any kind of strategy.’

The interrogation of Sea Bream continued relentlessly.

Meanwhile, the users on the ship were desperately hoping for Leeha to obtain such information even a minute sooner.

“Hurry up and say something!”

Leeha’s impatience was growing by the second.

“[Ice Blast!]”

“[Salamander Rush]!”

The spells of Ram Hwajung and Jin were cast swiftly.

The serpents did not even flinched from the lizard-shaped flame, and condensed ice.

And in a flash, they darted off the surface.

——–!!

Shwoooosh...

When their eyes seemed to flicker for a moment, the skills of Ram Hwajung and Jin were already nullified.

“Damn, it’s a failure!”

“No way, what are we supposed to do if our skills don’t work?”

As Bobae and Kijung felt helpless, two figures burst out from the water onto the New Serpent.

“Pant, pant, Lady Raphaela! Please start with healing the Taoist brothers!”

“Pant, pant, ever since the serpents got involved, the merfolk and the Kraken have become more rampant! If we don’t deal with this quickly, it will be hard to even lure them! Right now, Lord Alexander and Lady Beilephus are the only ones holding back the entire Kraken!”

Pei Wu and ‘Bald Panda’, who was carrying one user each, also shook their heads down.

Now, it was becoming more and more difficult for the other users to keep the monsters from approaching the ships.

There were still 10 krakens left.

It meant that the gold dragon was dealing with them alone.

They managed to return to the ship after luring the Krakens, but they were not allowed even the slightest time to rest.
