Dungeon attack, Day 14.

Layer 20.

The bottom of the sea.

After passing through a temple-like structure, the surroundings instantly became cave-like.

The craggy rock surface is covered with blue seaweed. It was very bright.

Wow, it's beautiful ......!

Prine is entranced by the rock wall. You are more beautiful than me," I almost said seriously.

Prine is more beautiful than you.

Oh, I said it.

'Huh? Hehehe, I like ...... already, Ra-kun.'
Me too.
'I said no flirting!

''I'm sorry.''

And so on and so forth - another monster. Captain Kugyu shouts.

The shell water dragon!

As its name suggests, a water dragon with a turtle-like shell approaches quietly. It has a long white beard. He looks like a grandfather.

He is smaller than the Chilin. About the same size as this boat.

Don't think it's going to be a piece of cake again, okay? This thing bounces back magic!

Immediately after Captain Kugyu said that, the water dragon's whiskers twitched. Is this... chanting?

Around the water dragon, transparent panels were stretched around it like pyramids stacked one on top of the other.

Prine mutters. The magic is like a natural enemy for mages.

'--Magical reflection Fantas Mirror ...... '
'd*mn ....... It's as if they knew we were a pair of mages. ......!

A water dragon approaches the sailboat slowly and silently. It appears to move slowly, but it is actually quite fast. Its head enters the bubbles. The captain shouts.

It's a nasty one! You can't win by force! Run as fast as you can.
''Tei''

Supan, and the water dragon is cut in half by my swinging the eltral sword. It turns to mist.

No, I can just slash it with physics with a higher level.
'I know, rightooooooooo!

'Ra-kun, you're so cool!
'You're prettier than me.'
Don't make out with me!

Yes, we'll keep going.

After the cave, we are in the temple again. A large underwater passageway goes on and on.

We look at the mapped map and the strategy information, but it is too complicated to understand.

Captain Kugyu moves through these passages without hesitation.

Occasionally, he saw a school of small fish swimming in a large sphere. The school changes direction and moves freely through the water.

'............'

Prine was watching the movement. She looks like she is thinking about something.

'...... figure eight ..................'

I follow her gaze and see a school of fish moving around like the number eight. Prine mutters more.

The accumulation of the present is the future. A mess of pages in a grimoire. Why did you put them in a different order? Are you saying that the order doesn't mean anything? The grimoire of time,order,order of time,order of time...... time line [...] is wrong ( )?'

Apparently, he is thinking about the "grimoire of time" he got yesterday: .......

I was strangely worried because her eyes seemed to be looking nowhere, and she seemed to have lost her vitality, so I called out to Prine without thinking.

I was strangely worried and called out to Prine.
'Hi! --Hey, Ra, what's going on?
'No, that ...... okay?'
'Huh? What?
'Well, it's okay if you're okay.
'? Yeah!

Prine smiling. Cute.

Something was a little weird, but she seems to be okay.

You've been thinking about the grimoire?
'No? I thought the fish were beautiful!

Hey, what was that you were muttering just now?

Before I could ask,

''Hmm?''
What's that?

The ship's destination suddenly seemed to darken. At the same time, we were caught in the detection.

Captain Kugyu also looked closely and shouted.

'That's--you guys, get ready for battle!

Looking closer, we could see that the darkening was due to the many shadows of fish.

A school of shark monsters. Each and every one of them was quite large.

A school of giant sharks! That one was originally an escape move, too, but--''
'I'll reap it with magic! Prine!
'Yes, sir! --Frozen fire. Relentless cold heat. The turbulent surface of a silent lake. The backwinding fire reminds us of the sharpness of zero degrees.



Prine, when called, begins chanting and releases the spell.

Whiteout!

The directional magic, which is normally learned at Mage level 26, is released at a wide range in one direction.

It is longer than explosion magic and more powerful than Photon Ray, which has the same attack range.

And then, a mysterious phenomenon occurred.

The-- kiki-kiki-kin ......!

Even though we were underwater, a pure white cold wave ran through the passage, freezing only the giant sharks one after another, leaving the surrounding seawater untouched.

The iced monsters in the water eventually turn to ice and mist with a shriek .......

Prine had controlled the magical element of "Whiteout" to react only to the monsters.

Prine holds her wand at the tip of the ship, and I shout in admiration.

Prine is amazing!
'Hehehe! Thanks, Ra!

Prine looks back at me shyly. Now that I am a mage and have begun to study magic elements, I can see how much she has done.

It was like picking up only a grain of sugar from a mixture of salt and sugar, a delicate work.

I don't think I can imitate this.

'No, it's not really amazing .................., but I can't help but admire it a little bit.

Captain Kugyu, who steers the ship from the stern, also gave us his highest praise. Of course.

Prine waves her hand shyly.

But I screwed up a little.

As the ship moved through the area where the monsters had turned to mist, there was a little bit of ice floating around the ship. Indeed, it seems that we were not able to freeze only the monsters perfectly,

'This ain't one of those failures. ......! I knew Prine was the best!
'Wahyaa! Ehehe!

I spun around with the prine in my arms. He held the prine by the armpits, and did a high high.

'Ra-kun, I'm flying! I'm flying!

Captain Kugyu would naturally be angry if we were doing that at the tip of the Titanikko--

'..................'

I thought, "But, hey, he is still staring at the crystal ball used to steer the ship.

''Captain Kugyu?
'...... Oh no.'

The child captain said.

'Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no! This time it's really bad! I never thought I'd run into you!

He looked up from his crystal ball, pointed straight ahead, and shouted.

'Ebirah is coming!
''Ebirah?''

We both tilted our heads and looked forward to see it.

--The first time we saw it, it was a big one!

The shrimp monster that makes bubbles fly from its mouth is a ...... monster is a ...... monster?

'Tiny'.
'Mr. Shrimp?'

A shrimp the size of a human child was swimming gracefully in the water.

No, it was certainly large for a shrimp. But not that big as a monster. All the monsters we encountered here were huge. Compared to them, it could be said that they are small.

Is it really that bad? More than a head dragon or a carapace water dragon?''

I look back at Captain Kugyu and shake my head.

'No, not him.
''Not that guy?''
'No, it's him, but at first it's him, but then it's really bad...'

--Goggle, goggle, goggle, goggle, goggle!

Shrimp.

Snap.

It was eaten.

By a big octopus.

Captain Kugyu shouts behind us.

King Octopus! I knew it! Don't touch him! Let's get out of here!

That said, it's only a slightly larger version of the Octopazombie we defeated in the Chirigsug River. No, it's still bigger than this sailboat, but I don't think it's impossible. It's smaller than a long-necked dragon.

I know what you're thinking! But you have to follow me here!

The Titanicco moves slowly along the edge of the passageway, trying not to be noticed by the King Octopus. Captain Kugyu looks extremely nervous as he moves the ship forward. Is it really that bad? Prine is covering her mouth with her hand to keep her voice down.

She's trying to get past the octopus,

Giggle.

Its eyes turn toward me. Eyes so big you could fit a whole person in them.

''Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Prine and the captain scream in unison.

I hold up my sword,

''Is it taco day today?''
'No, no, no! Don't touch me!

Captain Kugyu rushes to stop me.
He tilts his head and asks.

Is that a no?
'No! Because he's also--!

The octopus.

Snap.

It ate it.

By a bigger moray eel.

''''Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Now I screamed too.

Oh no, no, no, no! It's just too big!



'Captain Kugyu, what the hell is that? It's as big as the Chillicut River, that moray eel!
'I told you, we're in trouble! The octopus comes after the shrimp, and the moray eel comes after the octopus!
'That's what I'm talking about!

The moray eel had eyes the size of sailboats.

The sailboat ran away without a second thought.

Either too small to see, or not interested in us, the moray eel slowly passes by us.

The moray eel won't do anything if you don't touch it! But if someone intercepts the food, they get very angry!
'So that's why you told me not to touch the shrimp or the octopus!
'..................'

Half-crying, Captain Kugyu blasts the Titanikko.

Prine is quiet because she is trembling with fear. No wonder. She's out of control.

Luckily, the devil-island moray eel doesn't pay us any attention, and swaying away. Oh, may God bless the adventurers who come after us. .......

'Well, as long as we sailors are around, I don't think he'll let us touch him. ....... Even the sheikdragon and the giant sharks run away in the first place.

He let out a sigh of relief, and Captain Kugyu seemed to regain his composure,

'Well! We've gotten past the worst of them, and we're about to arrive!

Around us, coral, pearl oysters, and rocky outcrops began to appear.

It was indeed a typical undersea scene.

And our destination is just up ahead.

Are you ready for this? Now let's meet--the mermaid!
