Darenidemo Dekiru Kage Kara Tasukeru Maō Tōbatsu
Twenty-fourth report: on the capital of the seabed
The deep sea is an unprecedented land.
To the problem of breathing, the problem of resistance, and the problem of demons. Even a magician who can use the spiritual magic of water that can temporarily allow him to operate under the sea is not the first to dive into the bottom of the sea.
Decades of walking under the sea. Me and Sanya were guided with the fishermen to get there - it was the town.
Crude houses made up of rocks and seaweed line up all the way ahead. A blue-white, luminous stone was installed there, illuminating the seabed from which no light from the sky could be reached.
It fell in character to a greater extent than the towns made by the people, and it was closer to crude villages than it called towns, but the fact of making such objects under the sea was the first shock.
Behind the beautiful light, the inhabitants of the city beneath the sea are alien.
It was terribly tough for the emotionally challenging fishermen to tunnel in countless times, even considering they were miscellaneous fish.
Sanya, holding it beside her, sees it and looks at it.
"Wow, what is this... Was a fishman so smart?
Even when it comes to fishermen, they have the wisdom to use tools. It was the first time I had actually seen it, but maybe I could make it about town.
But it's too big, and most importantly...
"It coexists with other demons...?
Sanya's eyes capture the giant demons lurking in the shadows of the rocks, crushing them as if they had been taken in disquiet.
What was there was a poisonous green octopus that produced enormous innumerable tentacles. I don't know the name because this is the first demon I meet, but I can tell by its presence that it is equal to the Giant Tentacle I fought on a ship.
My tentacles move when I'm wet, and my little eyes capture me compared to my giant body. But there's no sign of you getting your hands on me.
Definitely, much stronger than a fisherman. The fisherman should be a prey to this guy by nature.
I followed the directions and walked straight through, but Dae-yu didn't do anything to see us off. And there's also no sign that the other fishermen are wary of the octopus.
Fishmen boast a higher intelligence than other aquatic demons. But you shouldn't be smart enough to keep such a giant demon.
Demons are basically fierce. There is power or wisdom to apply it, but the fishermen don't have it. Even the leader of the fishmonger I crushed won't beat the great octopus I just saw. How did you make it one of us?
I felt countless gazes from around me if I walked. The fishermen are looking at me. But because of Zoran's excellent armor, he doesn't look suspicious.
As we progressed to the back, the settlements became more and more heterogeneous. There were many fishermen, but the appearance of demons of other species increases.
Some demons, ferocious and demonic, were supposed to strike, but all of them move thoughtfully through the sea without showing hostility.
Inside, there were even demons, such as Kraken and Sea Serpent, that could sink ships on their own. I can only joke about how a warcraft like a disaster hitting a ship with a storm is surrounded by both fishermen. Besides, it doesn't seem like the whole thing.
A few are the most fishermen, but if all those demons were attacked by both fishermen, they would undoubtedly be wiped out.
When did they begin to coexist? Fishmen spend time on a herd by herd basis, but Kraken and Sea Serpent are demons who live alone. The fact that it is not the same does not mean that it was accidentally kept.
But I'm not the kind of person you can handle in a discussion, and I don't think fishermen will attempt to negotiate with those demons who are natural enemies.
"... boss... maybe this isn't a good idea?
……
How should we wipe them all out? The herd is bigger than expected.
Even if we think only of the wrong number, the number of fishermen is not one hundred or two hundred. Considering the number of demons other than fishermen, how much will their total fighting power be?
The hell is no big deal, but with so many so far it's hard to get rid of them altogether. I don't have the means to attack the whole thing, and it's hard to tie a line that will trap the whole herd.
The target has to establish a line that is a physical barrier in the fisherman, but the depletion is too intense. I don't even have a catalyst because I look like a fishman.
I'm now recognized as a fisherman, but those guys just won't get beat up in silence either. Better than that, defeat the Lord.
This is the only huge herd, there will be those in charge. A leader proud of his wit and charisma who doesn't seem like a fisherman.
Crush it and these men will be the people of the Union. I can even aim for self-destruction.
Walking with the policy in mind, the leading fisherman stopped in front of a large international building around him.
Unlike other houses, it is a highly skilled building. It is made to creep through large mountains that can be beneath the sea, and it also looks like a temple.
Probably not made by both fishermen. Degradation can be seen, but columns and stairs do not appear smooth and capable of being processed by the hands of both fishermen. Not so far from the temple of Lane, so maybe it's the product of the same civilization.
There were few fishermen in front of the temple. Is it such an important place?
The fishmonger standing in front of me looks at me and rings in a small, strange voice. Do you want to follow me?
"... the boss has a liver sitting on him - Gyu... ugh!
Strengthen, tighten and silence the arms holding Sanya's body. The average fisherman shouldn't understand a person's words, but you should think about what if.
Sanya waves her hands and feet and turns away.
"You make sacrifices for our prosperity."
Swinging braves, swinging fishmongers, what the hell am I?
"You gotta be kidding me!? Oh, help me, Amelia! Shah -"
Sanya speaks up low. I turned around silently and smashed one fisherman who was approaching behind me with a mace.
Mace pierces the floor and the vibration shivers the ocean. The strong raw odor and the smell of blood spread for a moment and spread quickly.
He said someone touched the sacrifice from behind, whether it was intriguing or licking me, or for other reasons.
The guide fisherman turns in a panic and flattens. I felt a gaze peeking at this one faraway.
I see, it is an animal. Herd leaders require strength. I must be recognized as a strong man.
I kicked in the belly of a fishman who was immediately leading the way. I just kicked it lightly, but the level difference makes that body fly. Sticked straight into the walls of the temple and silenced.
I did my best, so I wouldn't be dead.
"... boss, you often call yourself a monk."
Shut up. Give me a little 'swing'.
And anyway, what about Sanya's position among the fishermen?
With a hint of motion, a new fisherman appeared and stood forward instead of a guide who wouldn't even move with Pickle. I don't know the difference between the fishermen, but the fisherman is more characteristic of a treacherous back than the conductor.
I'm not sure. I've been ringing, so I'm just gonna snort. I don't know what you're talking about, but it looks like a new guide.
Walk through the temple about it. Inside there was little demonic appearance. Occasionally there are fish swimming or little crabs walking in the corner, but it's quiet stuff.
The aisle was not as wide, but had several doors elongated, left and right. Width and heavenly height, the creator of this temple would be a medium-sized race like a man or a fisherman.
Burn the lonely landscape into your eyes rather than majesty. Weird sculptures and rusty metal utensils were seen whether it was an occasional work of art.
The aisle was probably mounted with a rear attachment, with luminescent stones seen outside and a light source secured.
Nevertheless, I don't even think these guys have a sense of (probably human created) taking care of the temple, etc.
Do you worship even the gods of the fishermen? Will fishermen also pray to God? Even I've been thinking about stopping praying to God lately.
Do you remember the way, Sanya also looks left and right with a serious look on her face.
After more than a dozen minutes of following the leading fisherman, there was no particular incident, and what was ahead of us was a single door.
It's a big, black, double-open door. But two demons stand before them.
Unexpectedly stops. The fisherman who was leading didn't wait for me, but walked ahead of him with a hint of foothold.
A different aquatic subhuman than a fisherman. A face that resembles a dragon, a golden eye glowing on a scale-covered face. Unlike the fisherman, he was wearing blue, smooth light armor, and his hands held ivory spears with no rust.
Aquatic Dragon Man (Dragon Newt). Sanya also has her eyes open to surprise.
It has a head and human body that resembles a dragon, a species also known as the 'Sea Dragon Man (Sea Dragon Night)' because of its properties.
He said that he was a more powerful sub-man than a fisherman, and that if he owned Sea Serpent, he would ride it and attack him. Unlike Marman, some individuals have advanced intelligence to solve people's words. Closer to people than demons in one way or another, but with a rough temper, there are no examples where negotiations have been reached.
Absolute numbers are small, but all of the species are warriors, and struggle is considered a must if they meet at sea.
But at the same time, we rarely meet.
The Dragon Man (Dragon Newt) is a subhuman who draws dragon blood as his name suggests.
Like dragons, they are small in absolute numbers and have powerful abilities without exception, but their characteristics vary greatly depending on the type of blood they are pulling, and those who are adapting to the sea are particularly rare.
This is the first time I've met anyone like that. If you make a strip and sell it to a favorite, you'll get enough money to hire another set of rabbis and sanya. It is one stay. Two stays because there are two because it's a simple calculation, but two would be discounted. Something like one or seven stays?
But more than that, this' Sea Dragon Man (Sea Dragon Night) '- strong.
The golden eye turns to me from a fishman who speaks words that don't make sense.
Originally the Dragon Man is a strong one... but its intelligence does not loosen its guard without insulting this one as a fisherman. A high presence and a lack of clearance that I feel from that body.
I am alert to being able to point that spear at any time, even though there is still a distance. He's got some racist abilities, but most importantly, he seems used to fighting.
That's two of them. When it comes to dealing with people at the same time, the effort is not doubled. It is troublesome. At least it doesn't work like killing a fishman. I decided to give up stripping for now. It's a species of life.
Without changing his posture, he suppresses hostility and turns Haribote's eyes to the Sea Dragon Man.
I'm only a monk. Fighting from the front is not serious. Fortunately, the other side is expected to be in a cooperative relationship with the fishermen. Let's just say we end up aiming at the gap one at a time.
I heard Sanya roar small. Now Sanya doesn't have the bespoke bow she's always equipped with. I guess it's because I'm in the way of swimming, I don't even seem to have a knife for throwing.
The stripped abdomen is wrapped with a thin belt and a dagger on the holder. Too uncomfortable to deal with a spear with a lack of reach. Maybe he regrets it.
But dragon man, huh? I didn't expect to come out in such an ocean, but most importantly, it is a species of high pride. What does it mean, for example, that such species enter into cooperative relationships with lower species, such as fishermen?
No matter how many fishermen are more likely to follow it, and it's hard to think again to say that they will stand on top.
The annihilation plan will need to be reconsidered. We need to identify the situation.
The fishmonger in the guide raises an odd voice over and over again. The sea dragon man who stood to his left with that voice listening without saying anything.
Can the Sea Dragon discern the voice of a fisherman?
Another sea dragon man, standing to the right, approaches.
I'm tall for a fisherman, too, but a sea dragon man has a more privileged physique than that. Nor is the weapon as crude as a fisherman.
Pressure strikes all over your body.
Dragons are powerful, predators in this world. I'm at the top of the hierarchy if I say it just by my ability to be born. The dragonman is inferior to the sole, but instead has both arms and skill to be held by a weapon.
The Silver Wolves are also powerful, but there will be an increase in armaments in the latter compared to Sanya, whose blood is not so thick. Of course, I didn't say I'd lose.
"It's tough......"
I sigh with a look that Sanya doesn't like. But my shaken tail is on my arm.
You want to fight even though it's a disadvantage. I really don't know how Battlemania thinks.
A sea dragon man stared down at Sanya and accidentally raised his voice. A ragged voice. White foam of air rising from mouth to mouth.
"Ningyo, huh?"
It's people's language. This guy, you know what people say?
You reacted to Sanya's voice? I mean, Ningyo? Mermaid? I don't have a fish element? My tail is growing, too?
Since it is not hidden, the stretched legs of Sanya and the tail stretched from the swimsuit with little cloth area are also in full view. But it looks like Sanya looks like a mermaid to the Sea Dragon Man.
... uh, Mermaid Armor effect.
It's just stupid.
