Meanwhile, Reiko and Reinhardt, who remained at the rental dock, both felt a strange magical power under the sea and were on alert.

And then he appears.

"Whoa!"

What the hell?

A startled voice echoes through the air.

A gigantic sea serpent pokes its head out of the surface of the harbor. It was coming toward us at great speed.

"Death Sea Serpent. ......"

Someone muttered. It was indeed a giant sea serpent called the Death Serpent. It was over 10 meters long.

Lorelei!

Yes, Mia Schepfel.

Reinhardt's golem emerged from the sea.

"I will defeat the Death Serpent!"

"Yes!"

Reiko turns to Reinhardt and says..,

"Wait, Mr. Reinhardt!"

"Yes?　What's the matter, Reiko?

"Do you know that monster?"

"Yes. I've only heard stories. It's a giant sea serpent with magical powers. Naturally, water-based magic will not be able to penetrate it.

Then Reinhardt stores magic power in his right hand.

"It works ......."

At that moment, Lorelei hit the Death Serpent. This slows down the Death Serpent considerably.

But the enraged Death Serpent opened its big mouth to bite Lorelei.

"Fire magic!　...... Flame Lance!"

Reinhardt's magic was fired at the open mouth. The speed was so fast that he missed the target and hit the Death Serpent directly in its open mouth.

The Death Serpent cries "Gaaaah!" and thrashes about. Lorelei has already retreated.

"I'd like to give her another shot if I were you, but I don't think I can ...... with the way she's acting."

The Death Serpent is lumbering near the harbor, causing a huge wave to crash into the water. Small boats were shaken like leaves, and some capsized.

Jin and Marcia's Cygnus (Swan), a catamaran, is very stable and Arrow's skill in single-handedly maneuvering it has given them no worries for the moment.

Reiko confirmed this,

"Ms. Reinhardt, I will stop the Death Serpent for a while. In the meantime, please fire the magic you just used.

Then, without waiting for Reinhardt's reply, he jumped into the sea.

"What is she?　What is that girl?

"That's absurd!　What the hell is she thinking?

Such were the cries of the onlookers.

Reinhardt believed the words of Reiko, an artifact-class automata, and stored magic power in his right hand.

Reiko swam to the Death Serpent in a short time, although it was a little difficult to swim because she was not wearing a bathing suit, and decided to hit its torso first as a test.

It sounded as if she had hit it with a block of steel.

Even though he trusted Reiko, Reinhardt could not believe his eyes. Reiko's upper blow blew the Death Serpent several meters away.

The Death Serpent's body was 50 centimeters in diameter at its thickest point. The serpent was lifted halfway up out of the water. Reiko sinks into the sea in reaction.

"It's really hard, isn't it?

Reiko sinks into the sea, and once she sinks, she puts her feet on the bottom of the sea. She then kicked the seabed as hard as she could, and plunged into the Death Sea Serpent with the force of her kick.

The Death Serpent, which had been on the rampage, was a little slowed down by Reiko's first blow. Then, a second, more powerful blow was delivered. This time at 20 percent output.

This time, the Death Serpent was sent flying into the air by the blow from directly below. The impact is unprecedented, and the serpent is in a half-fainting state. The Death Serpent was thrown into the air,

"Flame Lance!"

The spell of Reinhardt exploded. It was more powerful than the first one, and the Death Serpent's head was blown off, and the surface of the sea was stained red with blood. The headless body of the Death Serpent floated on the waves.

Reiko recoiled and dove back into the sea, watching the scene. She then swam underwater until she reached a spot where there was no blood, and came up to the surface near the shore.

"Reiko!"

Just then Jin came in, accompanied by the guard captain.

"Father!"

Reiko is soaking wet, but with a swipe of her body, the water is dispersed clean away. The special (rare) material is no joke.

Meanwhile, the captain of the guard force was stunned to see the Death Serpent and Reiko who hit it. He then hurriedly puts something in his pocket, which he had been carrying in his hand.

"Jin, and Miss Reiko."

Then Reinhardt came over and tapped Jin on the shoulder,

"Oh, Jin!　Your Mistress Reiko is amazing!　I didn't think you could blow away the Death Serpent!　I'll have to invite her to my kingdom after the next competition!"

(I had no idea that this guy was so big that he would be invited to the Shoro Empire.

(I had no idea ...... that this guy was such a big deal that he would be invited to the Shoro Empire. The ship was safe anyway, and the outcome would have been the same.)

Jin called for Arrow, oblivious to the captain's feelings. The waves were already calming down in the harbor, and the catamaran Cygnus (Swan) was soon laid up at the pier.

"Oyobidesuka?"

"Yeah, Arrow, just out of curiosity, did you see anyone suspicious before the fire?"

"Yes, yes, I did, in the casino.

Red stone?

Maybe it's a magi-crystal of the fire attribute. If so, it can be ignited over a period of time.

Reinhardt, who was listening next to me, said so. Jin shared the same opinion.

"I see. Then the man or woman who threw the magi-crystal into the room must be the arsonist.

The captain said with some trepidation.

"I suppose so.

"Yes, I see. We'll look for the culprit. Thank you. Marcia will be released.

With these words, the captain ordered the men on the spot to clean up the carcass of the Death Serpent, and then quickly left.

"I'm not sure, but was it attacked by that floating monster over there?"

Jin asked Reinhardt,

"Yes. So, with the help of Miss Reiko, I struck it with fire magic and defeated it.

"Hmm. Reinhardt is good at magic too.

Jin said as if he was impressed,

"No, no, it's thanks to him.

He showed a small wand made of mithril silver. It was small enough to fit in his palm. When Jin saw it, he said

"I see!　It is preloaded with magic!　With this, we can activate magic just by sending magic power.

Hearing this, Reinhardt was astonished,

"My God!　You could tell the function just by looking at it!　Jin, you are amazing!　You really should come to our country once!"

With these words, he slapped Jin on the back. Jin felt the force of the slap,

"Oh, yeah. I'd love to visit if I have a chance.

Jin answered, "I would love to go there if I have a chance.

The dock is located near the area where the dock for rent is located.

In a warehouse district close to the dock rental area.

"I'm sorry, I must have missed it."

A stout man apologizes to a slender man standing in front of him.

"Besides, the Death Serpent has made things go unnoticed..."

The fire had been forgotten because of the Death Serpent.

"I didn't expect him to escape to the sea in advance. But you're a lucky guy. I didn't expect the Death Serpent to come here.

"Well, I'll beat him up on the spot."

With that, the two men left the scene.
