Matan’s Shooter

ED:

[What do you think, Drake?! You can’t match my skills, right?! Kuhahahaha! Your skills will be evident when you are navigating ships of the same class!]

As the Blue Marlin pulled ahead against the New Serpent, Burke’s voice was heard through the waves.

“……I really don’t know why he’s like that.”

It was a childish provocation that made Leeha, who was also from Fibiel, feel a little embarrassed.

“I feel sorry for Nara. How much is she suffering oh that ship?” The captain and members were saying that only half of the personnel were right……

Bobae shook her head as she looked at the Blue Marlin a certain distance away.

At some point, no whispers came from Shin Nara, and it was easy to guess how busy she was running around.

“Compared to that, our captain is like a real captain. Right, hyung? He is solemn, and his clothes are also nice.”

Kijung looked at the captain of the New Serpent, who didn’t even turn his nose at Burke’s childish provocation.

“He already has clothes like that, so he should just give me his coat as a gift. So stingy. Also, it’s a bit unfortunate that there’s also a title attached to it.”

“Hmm, that’s right. It’s a shame that you have to return it. Rather- uoohh?!”

At that moment, the New Serpent tilted and increased speed.

Can a ship accelerate without changing the wind or rowing the oar? Of course, there was only one reason.

[If you’re going to follow me, follow me.]

Drake used a skill.

“……I take back what I said about him being cool. What kind of captain is so emotional?”

“That’s right.”

Meanwhile, his attitude of provoking Burke again by using his loudspeaker skill was enough to make Fernand hit his forehead.

The voyage of the new continent expedition team, which had a coordinated log-out rotation, did not encounter any problems yet.

When it was almost time for the sunset to turn the sea red, one could see that those who had been hanging around started to maintain their weapons again.

“They definitely do it like people with a lot of experience.”

These were people who had lived through all the traps of Middle Earth.

No one had forgotten what Fernand had said at lunchtime about ‘reconnaissance after sunset and four-way alert’.

Fernand exchanged whispers with Alexander and assigned duties to each personnel on the ship.

[New Serpent’s sorcerer, Eunchon-nim, Blue Marlin’s sculptor, Rodin-nim. Please install a searchlight function on the bow of each ship and on top of the main mast. If possible, please make it so that it can last all night.]

Leeha wasn’t surprised when he heard that Rodin was a sculptor.

‘That guy got pretty high in the Minis tournament. If a sorcerer uses a totem, a sculptor recreates the effect of totems using the sculptures he or she creates.’

Not long after Fernand’s instructions were given, huge light sources were installed in various places on the ship.

In addition to simple attacks, the specialty of these jobs was that they have utility skills.

Fernand gave instructions with a satisfied expression.

[Shift scouts must start as soon as the installation is completed. You will need quite a bit of concentration as you will have to look at the sky as well as the sea. New Serpent’s druid Jin Gonggong, and Blue Marlin’s tamer Yongyong, please conduct the first scout.]

“Indeed. Is that the tamer over there?” 

In the Blue Marlin, a bird that looked like a hawk soared rapidly into the air.

“Kiskis, in some ways it’s better than what people see. Still, Jin Gonggong-nim, fighting! Don’t lose!”

Biyemi sat next to Leeha and laughed heartily and shouted.

Jin Gonggong cast magic near them.

The reasons why he, a druid, was able to join the expedition was about to be proven.

“Hmmm, the sun will set soon…. Polymorph: Nighthawk!”

Shuwaak-!

The druid chose the nighthawk, a type of hawk.

It was good at hiding itself in the dark, and like the nocturnal owl, it had a night vision and fast flying speed.

“Kuuu, you’re good! Good luck, Jin Gonggong-ssi!”

Ppiiiik—-!

Jin Gonggong soared upward, screeching as if responding to Leeha’s cheering.

“We are now outside of Kraven’s territorial waters! In addition to aerial scouting, we need to prepare for  attacks from below, so each user should check the area around the ship at regular intervals!”

All right!

It was a few minutes before sunset.

Although the sunset was not even visible, the sun had already long gone into the water, and now the new continent expedition team had to rely only on artificially made light.

The pitch-black sea, where it was difficult to see even an inch ahead without light, made it impossible to guess the end.

When viewed from the sky, it appeared as just a white dot waving gently on a pitch-black drawing paper.

Shwaa— Shwaa—!

Everyone adjusted their weapons while listening to the sound of the huge ship crashing through the wave.

From sunset to midnight, six more hours passed through the darkness.

Piii, piiiiik——!

“Huh? Jin Gonggong-ssi?”

When Leeha looked up at the sky, he was not able to see Jin Gonggong.

But he quickly learned what the cry meant.

“There’s something in front of the bow! Light! Light!”

“Change the searchlight the direction to the front bow.” 

Fernand immediately gave a command upon hearing Jin Gonggong’s whisper.

As the users who installed the searchlight in the first place and the NPCs following Drake’s orders changed the direction of the light, the spray of water bouncing from beyond the bow finally caught the users’ eyes

“Waaah, amazing!”

“Oh……. Is that some kind of monster?”

“I think it has the feel of a rough fish even though it’s a saltwater fish. I never thought there would be such a type of monster.”

Leeha, Kijung, and Kidd could not help but express their admiration one after the other.

Running on the sea were ruffed lizards about 5 meters in size.

It was difficult to estimate the number of lizards running in the dark, on two feet, skimming through the surface of the water.

“We must prevent them from getting near! Sailors, open the left and right cannons and start loading! If they come into sight, fire immediately!”

Hwaaaa—!

At the same time as Fernand from the New-Serpent shouted, golden light exploded from the Blue Marlin.

Even Bailephus changed back to his dragon form again, this is the first encounter of the new continent expedition team in the ocean waters.

[Don’t let them hit the ship, the impact will make a hole! And it will be hard to handle if they get on the ship, so you have to deal with them before they get near if possible! Magicians-]

[You talk a lot, Fernand. Our expedition team is not that weak, so don’t make a fuss.]

Kiririririt—!

[No one would call this a ‘critical moment’.]

The users had installed so many searchlights that they did not know what to use, but Alexander remained calm.

[Everyone, begin the battle.]

Flap—flap—–!

Alexander, who was flying into the sky on top of Bailephus, suddenly held a spear of light in his hand.

It was a monster that they had seen for the first time and an unfamiliar water battle, but the number one ranker was still dependable.

“I can’t see it, so I don’t know how strong it is! Please adjust the searchlight properly, Eunchon-nim!”

“It’s easier said than done! Those bastards are running so fast that they spread out so quickly-”

Gaeryong took a stance to throw a spear right away, but Eunchon was still wandering.

The female user behind them held a crystal ball.

“I’ll let you see.”

“Puhat, you’re saying you’ll let me see? Can you see with your eyes? What kind of eye cover are you wearing?” 

One of the Shazrasian giant users laughed at her, who covered her eyes with a cloth, like an eye cover, but she calmly finished casting her spell without replying.

“The pattern is drawn on her eye cover…. I have seen it. That bright red jewel-like pattern-”

“Oracle…… She’s the most famous Oracle user! ‘Doctor Doom’, Miss Rubini!”

‘Doctor Doom’ finished casting just as the other expedition members recognized her.

“Area Mapping.” 

Hwaaaaaa….

A huge holographic map was created in the center of the New Serpent with a red light.

However, the red map was different from the regular map.

“Wow…… What is this? Is this the map?”

“Amazing! This is an oracle user.”

“Not just an ordinary oracle, it is the map of ‘Doctor Doom’, the ‘Foreteller of Destruction’!”

Despite her calm appearance, it was a terrible nickname.

‘Foreteller of Destruction’ Doctor Doom. A hero’s descendant from the oracle job class that could predict the future!

The map she created clearly showed the locations of the monsters. Of course, it was not a simple location tracker.

Not only did she know where they would come from, but she was even able to predict where they would run to, which was why she got such a scary nickname.

“Okay. I’m going first! [Gae Bolg]!”

Huuuk, Gaeryong’s forearms expanded, and threw a spear after checking the map.

Did he just throw the spear into the rippling sea?

Paak-!

“Kiriririt”

It wasn’t that.

“Isn’t this a great map?! It’s awesome!”

The ruffed lizard got hit as if throwing itself to the spear that was thrown toward the sea.

As much as the movement prediction was accurate, it also showed 

Gaeryong’s ability to throw accurately toward the prediction point.

“Cough, Bald Panda-nim? Are you going as well?”

“Of course.”

“Hyung, Pei Wu-nim is going over there as well, so let’s team up.”

Bald Panda, was a martial artist with pure white powder on his face and black makeup only on his eyes. Warming up next to him was a bald user as well.

“Pfft- t-the two of you are-”

“What? This isn’t a shave, it’s a customization! I actually have a lot of hair! Cough, are you ready?[Mirror Injection]!”

Paaaat-!

The bald user who insisted that it was a customization gestured toward the air.

What stuck out from the hem of his loose clothes was a bright red mirror. The user moved toward the mirror as if dancing.

“[Swift Talisman],[Reinforcement Talisman],[Barrier Talisman]!” 

Hwiik, hwiik!

The bright red mirror scattered in the air gathered and scattered in a certain shape.

While other users were amazed, Asian users, including Leeha and Kijung, were able to immediately recognize what it was.

“It’s a talisman?!”

“This is my first time seeing it. As expected, he is worthy of his name ‘Taoist Mu’……

There was no yellow paper, but the bizarre patterns were exactly those drawn on the amulet!

The talisman of the outsider; ‘Taoist Mu’ glowed as it wrapped around the body of ‘Bald Panda’ and himself.

“Let’s go!”

“Not bad.”

paat, paat-! The two users jumped overboard in an instant.

“Oh, ohh!? What are you doing!”

“Crazy, if you fall in the middle of this, I won’t be able to save you-”

The cries of worry and concern soon turned into relief and admiration.

Papapaapa–!

With a huge splash of water.

“There’s no need to save us.”

Bald Panda and Taoist Mu ran towards the lizards running on the sea.

However, it wasn’t just the two of them. In the Blue Marlin, Pei Wu and Taoist Baeju jumped out and ran on the sea….

“Panda!”

“Pei Wu-nim!”

Two people who were only around 170cm tall were running towards the ruffed lizards that were over 5m tall, but they did not seem anxious.

“Water running is our specialty! [Gale Wind]!”

“[Gale Wind]!”

The two martial artists, who were running on the water, crossed each other and sped towards the ruffed lizards.
