ED:

“Hey, Hyein!”

‘Why am I expecting something so illogical, shouting like that now? Irrationality is what I dislike the most-’

“Hye—in—-ssi!”

Hyein perked up his ears. There’s no way for earwax to build up in Middle Earth. Unless she misheard, is this an auditory hallucination? But the atmosphere around the nearby giants had already changed. The NPCs, who were lying down, were now all standing and looking in the same direction.

“No way...”

Something was swiftly approaching through the water currents beyond the buoy in the sea.

Hyein rubbed his eyes. There was no problem with Middle Earth. Nevertheless, the situation was so irrational and non-logical that she couldn’t help but act this way.

“Ha Leeha-ssi?”UppTodated from nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

As if riding a surfboard, Leeha smoothly glided over the sea.

However, he wasn’t approaching by skimming the water like a Pei Wu or an otter or diving like a dolphin.

“Wahaha! What’s this— Mana relay tower isn’t completed yet!? Anyway, it’s already late; let’s eat something! I brought a lot from the Dragon Palace—uh, uwaah-”

Chuwaai——-!

Leeha almost lost balance but managed to regain it.

As he approached with a huge object protruding from the water, the giants staggered backward.

“Uwack!”

“A turtle!?”

“Why is the turtle so huge?”

The expression “losing words” wasn’t an exaggeration. Hyein shook his head. On the gigantic turtle shell, Leeha was carrying a considerable load. At least one thing was clear. How? Why? At this moment, all logic and reason had flown out of him. There was only one thing dominating his heart and mind. Just like shedding the pressure that had been tormenting him until a moment ago, Sage Hyein raised both hands triumphantly.

“We’re alive———–!”

Then, he shouted with all his might. It was truly a roar of life. What Leeha believed in was Drake’s last words.

‘You don’t need to bring me, he said.’

It was a direct statement from Drake, the ‘captain,’ who knew the speed of the ship better than anyone else. In other words, it meant that there was already something with the speed to catch up with the ship! Leeha caught that one word, so he asked Bailephus to throw him into the sea of the Dragon Palace. There, he immediately transformed into a mermaid and, with the help of the ‘Tortuga’ from Drake, came on his way.

‘I’m fortunate that it’s still here. Huh, looking at the situation, it seems like it’s going to be a long journey.’

If there was any worry, it would be the possibility that Drake had left the Dragon Palace and moved somewhere. However, he stayed until Leeha went to the Dragon Palace.

Looking at Drake’s expression, who was smiling slightly while watching Leeha, Leeha thought that he would continue to stay in the Dragon Palace.

‘Even though he acted like he was leaving immediately, Captain Drake was someone who enjoyed playing tricks subtly.’

Perhaps because of the increased familiarity or the shared experience of life and death, dealing with Drake had become quite comfortable for Leeha, and Drake, in turn, understood Leeha’s urgency and provided him with a ‘suitable’ means of transportation.

‘In the worst case, I was thinking of mobilizing about a hundred mermaids to move the giants. Fortunately.’

If it weren’t for Drake’s help, Leeha himself could transform into a mermaid and move. But what about the giants?

They needed to be there for the construction of the mana relay tower. Hearing that, naturally, they couldn’t leave them on the island.

Therefore, what was needed was a giant means of transportation. When Drake explained it, Leeha didn’t even know about it until he saw Drake’s satisfied expression.

It turned out that, like how mermaids controlled creatures like Krakens, there was a type of monster that could be controlled by the power of mermaids—the giant sea turtle, Tortuga.

‘The ride may be a bit bumpy, but it’s fast and spacious. It’s just perfect!’

“Huh?”

Hyein showed a puzzled expression towards Leeha’s smiling face and cautiously opened her mouth.

“Jellypong! Look here, lift as much as you can!”

Swooosh!

With Leeha’s shout, something huge popped out from Gelafung’s chest. Dozens of arms extended from the small slime, and the scene of numerous arms extending from a small slime looked somewhat grotesque.

“What is that? What came out of the slime’s chest!”

“Is it a curse from the North?”

“I’m from the North, and what on earth! Where is there a vague curse like that in the world?”

“Then what on earth is that? It can’t be a spirit.”

The giant NPCs were astonished and murmured. The unfamiliar form and its power were enough to surprise them.

Even lifting one of the items was burdensome for Leeha, but Gelafung easily held more than fifteen, waiting for Leeha’s command.

“At least I’ve figured out one more way to use Gelafung.”

[Legendary Meta-Water Elemental: ‘Gelafung’ (Strength Type)]

Attack Power: User’s Strength + (Agility * 50%) + (Intelligence * 30%)

Type: Melee

Effect: When accompanying the user within range, the user’s constitution +30%

Requirements: Achievement [Resurrected Origin of the Sea]

Description: A water elemental containing the essence of the sea god. Although it controls water elementals, Jellypong itself is not a water elemental but rather carries the essence of the sea god born from the abode of the divine. Jellypong will fulfill the user’s desires, no matter what they may be.

While Jellypong detailed window was treated like an item, it was distinctly different from regular items.

“The transformation options available in the attack type, allowing selection among strength/agility/intelligence types, are unparalleled, especially when compared to regular items.”

‘Amazing. When in strength type, it generates a buff that increases my health. 30% is not a small amount. Not to mention Jellypong’s own attack power. Character window.’

For strength type, it converts the user’s strength into attack power, using a portion of agility and intelligence stats as a basis. Similarly, agility type uses agility as a basis, and intelligence type utilizes intelligence for other stats.

For low-level users, it might be a mana drain, but for HaIha, it’s truly a ‘gift from the gods.’

‘Oh, right, stats!’

Having forgotten about achievements like the Resurrected Origin of the Sea, Under the Sea, and leveling up stats, Ha Leeha hastily distributed the stat points.
