Episode Six: Whales
The sea level about a kilometer away cracks.
No, the sea was being pushed up by the presence that appeared from the sea.
"What, is that...?
He appeared out of the sea, resembling a fish he had never seen.
Except it's huge.
As a giant demon appearing in the ocean, he previously fought a giant sea demon (Giant Kraken) with a body over 30 metres long, but the unidentified demon appearing in front of him is larger than a giant sea demon (Giant Kraken).
"That's a whale."
"Whale?"
Mr. Mishrina, who came close, supported by Sylvia, tells me.
I've never heard of a whale living in a place with no sea nearby.
"Are whale demons as big as they were originally?
"No, the whale is as big as that, even if it's not a demon. But that..."
By showing up, Mr. Mishrina also saw signs of whale-shaped demons.
"Master Mishrina!
Claudia, protected by Melissa and Illis from aboard, came out onto the deck.
"Are you all right?
"So far, we're safe. But..."
"... you've never seen a demon like that"
I'm losing my word when I see a whale-shaped demon on the path.
"It's demonizing, which means it can't be a normal organism..."
It's not a regular whale, as Melissa says.
The moment the magic is released from the whale giant, a vortex-like pillar rises from the rough sea level to the sky as the surrounding ocean was stormed.
"Melissa, defensive barrier"
"Yes."
Two pillars are directed to the ship.
"... Huh!
Distort your face to the knocked shock but withstand it all.
The defensive barriers deployed in front of the ship disappear, while falling with the sea level as the vortex pillars lost power.
The swirl columns, which suddenly struck me, contained magic. Definitely due to the skills used by whale demons to consume magic.
"Holy Virgin, now it is really time to enter the ship"
"Captain."
"I've been a sailor for a long time too, but I've never seen a demon like that. I'll try my best to escape, but I'm not sure I can really escape that much demon against them, but I don't have any other way to survive"
A giant demon over a ship.
You can't survive dealing with something like that.
"No, I do"
"Is that...?
Mr. Mishrina will look at me, ignoring the captain who looks anxious.
If you're an A-rank adventurer as easy as doubling to your Sahaggin opponent, you let him crusade aggressively, but it's just too conspicuous to crusade an array in small numbers against your opponent.
I just wanted to avoid a fight if I could...
"... ok. We'll take him down."
"Regards"
Fly out of the ship with Sylvia.
The target is a whale demon a kilometer away.
"It's impotent! There's no way you can beat that demon."
"It's okay. Keep the ship moving."
"... Huh!? I don't care what happens!
At the instruction of the captain, the ship continues unaltered.
If it was true, it was full of desire to escape. But the moment I heard Mr. Mishrina say it, I could believe it, the feeling just came to a boil.
"Oops."
Four swirl columns fly in.
Ice Wall
A wall of ice blocked in front of the ship as it jumped to the side and dodged caught a swirl of water.
The ice wall is fortified with the support of Melissa, plus Mr. Mishrina. It's Melissa's instructions, which she decided should be done efficiently. Thanks to this, we can also stop a vortex that can sink the ship in one blow.
"I knew you could fight."
The power of healing is not only against organisms. It is also effective against breaking objects.
It was a fortified ice wall that was about to be broken, but healed makes it bearable back to its original state.
"So do you want to start this one too"
You can't destroy a ship to move on.
But if we leave it to them, it won't be a problem.
When we reach the whale, we descend over our heads.
Huge two eyes turn this way.
"You're a disgusting demon."
I looked cute somewhere when I was just looking from afar, but when I could turn my bloody eyes close, I'd only be disgusted.
Pulling the divine sword out of its sheath, it pierces its head. The whale's epidermis is expected to be stiff from the feel of being stepped on, but with my divine sword it is possible to pierce it.
Blood comes, but it doesn't look like you've suffered from a whale.
"Right. Given your size, a scratch of this magnitude wouldn't even be a loose wound."
Still not the kind of wound you can ignore.
A skilled swirl of the sea hits me standing on a whale.
"Slow"
Run toward the tail with your sword pierced.
Blood blows up and the whale's back opens and goes.
As long as I was stabbed with a sword, I had no problem. But you can't ignore your body being opened and going. They can turn on me with ten pillars on my back trying to stop me somehow.
Two columns strike from left to right just after dodging six columns.
Thunderburst
Lightning strikes toward the two pillars with your left hand, which does not have a sword.
The moment the thunderbolt and vortex pillars collide, they bounce hard and the vortex pillars fall into the sea.
The two remaining pillars had been tapped to the surface of the sea.
- GOOOOOOOOO!
Reaching up to the back raises a loud roar from the pain.
The shock of roar shivers the sea, and it is through Melissa that the sailors are frightened.
And the whale's body trembled heavily.
It wasn't frightening or anything, but shaking my body to shake me off on my back.
The scaffolding becomes unstable and the shaken body falls to sea level.
In a falling position, eyes met with a whale with a huge body. There was no anger in his eyes like when he rode over his head, and his fright was hidden from view.
I sink my body straight into the sea.
The whale, whose body was damaged, decided to escape into the sea.
At the same time it was generating vortexes around whales where the sea began to sink as rough as the storm had been until then.
If a whale was generating a vortex like a column, it would have been as simple as generating a giant vortex around itself.
"Keep it up and they'll pull you in!
"Take the wheel."
Ships in remote locations are also drawn in by the current.
If it stays like this, it becomes an algae chip in the ocean from ship to ship.
But it won't.
When I raise my roar again, the body of the whale that was sinking lies.
At the same time, all vortexes and storms that had been generated by skills had stopped.
"What the hell..."
A sailor looking at the sea who grew up in a flashy way.
We know why this happened.
"Good luck."
Welcome Sylvia out of the whale's body.
"Demon Stone retrieved"
I had Sylvia retrieve the demon stone that broke into the whale's body while I was rampaging on the back of the whale. Demons feed on the energy produced by demon stones. For this reason, if you lose the Demon Stone, you lose your life in the same state.
Whales just floating in the ocean were synonymous with being dead.
Sylvia, who owns [Wall Out] and [Detection], can also find and retrieve demonic stones somewhere in her body while rubbing through her huge body.
The whales couldn't notice the presence in their bodies because of my rampage and attention.
"And that's a big demon stone."
Sylvia held the Demon Stone with both hands looking important.
You can say it's big considering that the normal demon stone is average enough to hold with one hand.
I'll see whale demons again.
And confirm the Demon Stone.
"That's different from the giant demons we've had."
Whale demon stones are not called pseudonuclears.
It just seems like it's gotten huge simply because a giant animal demonized it.
"What do you want to do?
"Let's just retrieve the whales and get back to the ship"
I can't think about it forever on this occasion.
Because it is a loot, when you store the whale meat and demon stones in the toolbox, you return to the ship.
