CH 88

Well, up to this point, it’s on schedule, but I can’t be rest assured yet.

It is the type of island octopus that mimics a reef and ambushes, but of course, it would be able to escape if it received an attack that is close to a fatal injury. Even if it is a monster, it is almost like a wild animal. If it escapes deep into the sea, we can’t chase after it anymore.

So let’s catch it.

“Crossbow corps starts attacking!”

At the same time as the bullet signal, thick arrows were fired one after another from six-armed merchant ships.

You could see the dogs running around the deck, chased by winding strings and loading arrows. At first glance, it’s comical, but it’s smart.

Fortunately, it seems that it is possible to divide the roles without hitting even a narrow deck. The arrow this time is as long as a spear, so you can’t fly it that far, but it’s powerful. The arrowhead has a barb, and if you get stabbed, you won’t be able to pull it out anymore.

In addition, a sturdy rope is also attached. Even if it comes off, if the rope gets entangled, it will be useful, and if it does not get entangled, you can collect it.

In other words, it is a harpoon.

The question is where to shoot this guy.

The reef is hard and the arrow doesn’t seem to stick, and the tentacles are rampaging. The torso is submerged in the sea. 

Thinking this way, it’s a surprisingly solid style. Humans were indeed afraid of the “devil’s sea.” 

But I know. As always with this kind of creature, endurance is not as much. Not many people can fight longer than mammals and birds due to the difference in the perfection of the circulatory system.

The octopus must have had difficulty with endurance. In the first place, I’m about

to neutralize a strongly alkaline aqueous solution with my own body.

Can you wait for a while? 

“Armed merchant ship No. 3” Aranami “, main mast medium damage! Warship No.

4 ship” Pirate Soul “starboard small damage!” 

It seems that the ship that got too close to the tentacles was damaged. I can’t help it

because I don’t understand his reach.

“All ships retreat! Form a battle line in a half siege!” 

The rampaging tentacles have caused some damage, but it seems that no human damage has occurred, so it’s okay.

“Admiral, what should I do with this !?”

“Yeah!”

The sailors were upset, but I scratched my head as I leaned against the boat.

“You don’t have to worry so much. It’s a break until he gets tired.”

I’m sorry for the random admiral. When the island octopus was getting tired, I ordered the armed merchant ship to shoot again.　

The crossbow hit rate is not very high, but the archers are a lively dog ​​corps. The attack is relentlessly repeated, and one harpoon after another pierce the tentacles.

Even if I could pull all six ships together, there should be a limit to that exhaustion.

“If the arrow comes off, collect it and shoot it again! You can never fish such a big octopus again!”

“Yes!”

Dogs are waving cheerfully from a nearby ship. 

Finally, all the harpoons became unusable due to hits or damage. The work of the Crossbow Corps is over. 

The damn octopus is now being captured by six sailing ships under countless harpoons.

Even the proud tentacles are useless for cutting the rope. And the inside of the body should have been severely damaged by the explosion and the highly alkaline poison.

However, the “Devil’s Sea” was a far stronger enemy than I had expected.

“Admiral! There!”

A dragon engineer points to the surface of the sea.

A huge octopus tentacle floated on the surface of the sea, slamming and eerily.

There are three floating in all. All the tentacles that the harpoon is stuck in.

Oops. By the way, was the octopus able to cut his legs and escape?

I completely forgot.

However, it is quite prepared to cut off all the hit legs and run away.

The island octopus cut off its leg from one end and slowly began to escape. You could see that it was dying.

Garsh hurriedly asks me. “Hey Admiral, can’t you let the Centaurs attack !?”

“I can’t, the seawater around him is very poisonous. I can’t attack him until I’m away from here.”

Besides, mermaids have no means of physical attack, and mermaids also cannot attack underwater areas. If there was another sodium bomb, I would throw it in.

It can not be helped. Pursue the island octopus until it is debilitated and continue to

attack with the centaur corps. I’ll chase you to the end of the horizon.

It was when I thought so. The surrounding air suddenly becomes cold.

“What’s so cold …”

It was when someone muttered.

When I thought that the fog floating around was shining, it suddenly scattered.

No, it’s not. The fog has frozen. The fog that has become ice particles sinks into the

sea, and the surrounding fog clears up. Cold air, which is impossible in the southern part of Miraldia, wraps around the fleet.

Technician Kurze exhales white and mutters as if he suddenly noticed.

“Dear Vaito, maybe this is …”

“Oh no doubt”

It’s our Majesty the Demon King.

It is an oversized “trump card”.

I haven’t called it separately.

“It looks like I was on time.”

His Majesty Gomoviroa, the second Demon Lord, came down from the sky above the fleet.

While everyone is shaking in the cold, only one person is wearing a light dress. She

seems to be warm because it absorbs a lot of heat from the surroundings.

“Master”

When I called the master in a whisper, the master came over here with a fluffy drift.

“What?”

“Is it okay, come out on the front line like this?”

I thought it would come out anyway because it was an overprotective master, but I’m still

surprised if I can really come.

Then the teacher replied with a smile. “I am now a passing old man, just a wise man.”

I saw it in a historical drama of my previous life, like that.

“In the future, I will have to reveal my true identity to humans. I will be surprised at that time.”

“I’ve certainly told you that there is such a story before.”

“Did you forget to see my face?”

“You don’t have to say it now.”

The fluffy island octopus is about to escape.

Then the master landed on the surface of the sea, drifting fluffy again.

“I won’t let you escape”

The moment the master touches the surface of the water with a cane, the sea freezes as soon as he sees it.

“What is this …”

“Is this the magic of the demons?”

“Wow, I’ve never seen such a big ice cube.”

“It’s like a fairy tale fairy …”

It seems that ice is rare for sailors living in the warm sea.

It seems like a lie that I was scared of the island octopus until a while ago, and I am

staring at the pretty girl who dances on the ice.

The master’s specialty is necromancy, and other magic is not that powerful.

Of course, it is impossible to freeze seawater so rapidly.

However, the current master is a thermodynamic vacuum cleaner that sucks in any energy. It absorbs heat from seawater and uses it as magical power to use cooling magic. The heat that has lost its place due to cooling magic is sucked into by the master and becomes magical power.

In other words, the surroundings can be cooled infinitely without being consumed at all.

The Demon King, who became an angel dancing on the drift ice, laughs happily.

“I wanted to try it once, this. It’s theoretically possible, so I want to check it.”

“Being enthusiastic about research …”

If you don’t do it moderately, it will be an ice age, Master. 

While the humans were rounding their eyes, the ice spread in a circle around the master.

The reef of the island octopus and our warship stick together with a piece of ice. And his tentacles are under the ice. There is nothing to protect the reef, the top of him. I can go.

“Centaur corps, charge! Destroy the reef!”

As soon as I shouted, Phil Neal rushed. When she swings her two-handed spear, a huge blade unfolds with the metallic sound of jakin.

Apparently, it had the same structure as a folding knife. Is it a special weapon made by Tuburn?

“I’m going!”

“Oh-oh!”

Everyone changes their weapons to hatchets and sprints while swinging around. It is a

traditional weapon for the Centaur tribe.

“Wait, Phil Neal! You’re telling me to take off your clothes!”

I really want to get rid of that bad habit.

The island octopus, surrounded by the Centaur corps, quickly became a literal octopus hit. 

“Yeah!”

“I’ll give it to the ancestors!”

Countless hatchets can be struck against the reef.

Many broken handles slipped on the ice, but this time I started kicking with my hooves.

A Centaur soldier whose struggle instinct has ignited turns into a terrifying destroyer.

When I checked it with a telescope, the reef of the island octopus was gradually scraped. Even if it looks like a rock, it is just a shell. It seems that it is made of a substance similar to seashells.

If you look at it, Phil Neal is roaming the reef with the huge folding blade.

However, it’s more difficult than I expected … When the Centaur corps gradually became smaller, the messenger of the Centaur soldier came back here.

“Reported by Phil Neal! The shell of ‘The Devil’s Sea’ is hard and very thick, so it seems that it will not be broken by the attack of the Centaur corps!”

“What did you say!?”

Was it heavier than expected?

If you look at it, the centaurs have run out of strength, and more than half are already breathing around. When it comes to exhausting those muscular idiots so much, isn’t it impossible to bring this with a bomb anymore?

As if I had seen my thoughts, Mr. Kurze said.

“I don’t have it anymore.” 

“Umu …”

I brought a small amount of gunpowder and it is absolutely necessary for communication at sea.

The crossbow arrow has been used up, and then the only strategy left is to do it.

As I flipped through the spellbook and prepared for the spell, I told the Beruza soldiers that it wouldn’t be heard by Technician Kurze.

“OK, I’m going”

“Are you an Admiral !?”

The Beruza soldiers are surprised, but the last thing to say in the battle of the demons is the commander’s bravery.

“Use magic. Drive me in a catapult.”

“eh!?”

“Because it’s okay, do it fast”

When asked by the Demon Kings, I’m definitely against it, so I have to do it quickly.

I jumped on the catapult’s arm and transformed into a werewolf.

“I’ll do the fine orbit correction here. Anyway, just blow it off at the maximum output. I’ll ask you for the exact direction.”

“Wow, I understand!”

Rough men set the catapult and the arm pushes to the limit.

At that moment, Technician Kurze, who was preparing for the flare gun, turned around.

Immediately his expression freezes.

“What are you doing !?”

I found it.
