Ix finished recharging Ix and will report back to Hephaistos on the results.

'Demon rock...eh?　Demon rock!　What is demon rock?　What is this?　This!　Hahaha...

Hephaistos is broken...I embrace the magic rock and travel off to a distant world...I look at the time, it's before noon...I pretend I didn't see it and log out.

I finished my lunch and logged into the game. Hephaistos was sitting upright and praying over the magic rock... pretend I didn't see it.

Warp to the ancient island for revenge on the giant moray eels. Then I ride Hix to the Lake of Healing, bring Hix back and then summon Aeon, Rian, Chess, Puyosuke and Dian.

Add Rian to the members who drank bitterly that time, and you've got a full crew. This time, we'll definitely kill the Jumbo Eels!

We'll decide on a plan. Then we did some prep work and then dove under the water. It was the same view I saw at the event. And there was that guy. I found a rocky spot and my eyes met his.

Jumbo Eels Lv 23.
Normal Monster Target Active

We got it right this time. Let's strike first!

Sick!

Jumbo moray eels get sick. Phew... it's a game. Don't tell me you're not a coward. This is the guy who attacked me when I couldn't even fight.

Rian sings and the buffs activate. Aeon does water magic, I blitz, and Chess shoots a barrage of ice at the Jumbo Eels with ice throwing. Diane attacks with a poison breath.

He's a stone gangster who's coming at us to eat us while being decent.

"Chess, you're up.

Gaaaah!

Chess provokes and challenges the Jumbo Eels to a fight. The Jumbo Eel opens its mouth and its fangs turn blue. That's the fang of waterification that Yuu Fang used before. That's the one that defeated Puyosuke.

Chess doesn't let that freak him out and takes on the challenge. The Jumbo Utsubo bites Chess, but is blocked by the ice armor. Ice armor.

The Jumbo Eels try to tighten up on Chess, but the bite is delayed, so Diane tightens up and bites first. Puyosuke, who was attached to Dian, also attached to the jumbo urchin.

My mouth is a chess and my body is held down by Dian and Puyosuke... it's a jam. I take out my spear.

""Lancer!"

Our spear martial arts stabbed into the jumbo eels, and the jumbo eels screamed and ran out of power. Then came the info announcing victory.

''Yes!''

'You did it!　Mr. Takt!

Chessies, you were strong. Good boy, good boy. I'll have to do my best.

Chess and Diane are embarrassed as Leanne strokes them. I guess mermaids attract not only people, but all water creatures.

Chess and Dian carry the jumbo moray eel to land and dismantle it.

Slice of moray eel: Rare Level 4 Food Item Grade E+
Slice of moray eel with the bones removed. It has an elegant sweetness to it.

The bones were kindly removed from the fillet. Very kind. I've heard that moray eels have a harder time getting rid of the bones than normal fish. I haven't been taught, so I can't do it very well either.

And the size of the fish is huge, and if the meat is big enough, it's also very long. Let's cut it off and keep it.

"Is this... is this okay?

'Doesn't it look very tasty?　The power of the skin is rather...

Well, I guess that's the usual impression. But I'll tell you what.

"The moray eels are as good as the best fish!

"This?

Good grief, I'll have to prove this as well as Mr. Octopus! So I made this excellent dish that I've had before.

Thin sashimi of moray eel: Rare Level 4 Dishes Grade E+
Effect: 40% recovery of satiety, 2 hours increase in agility (large), 2 hours increase in muscle strength (medium)
A sashimi dish of peeled moray eels. It is characterized by its elasticity and elegant sweetness.

After all, when it comes to fish, it's sashimi! And that's a record-breaking fish dish. The quintessential moray eel, said to rival the puffer fish.

"Beautiful flesh...

I don't think you're a moray eel.

Because at first glance, it looks like a puffer fish. I'll put some fish sauce on it and give it to Diane, who can't wait. Enough for two people.

"Shhh!

Diane, very excited. I'm rolling around with it because it's so good. I'm going to try some. Pufferfish bouncy, elegantly sweet... this is it! It was worth the effort!

Aeon and Leanne eat too.

''Oh, yummy~!''

Phew...I won. But good food is a drug. I lost half of what I was going to keep after being lusted after by all of them... and even shucked it, which was a bad idea. But I wanted to eat it, so I had to.

In case you're wondering, the effect was the same. Well, I just shabu-shabu it in hot water and eat it. The taste was decently different and delicious.

''Well, I'll do my best to beat it again, it's okay!　Mr. Takt!

'Yeah, right!　Haha~

Totally....they all had totally different appetites this time. I'm just as guilty of it because that includes me... but then the info comes. Huh? I'm already here for the leveling up info?
