Episode 151: The Life of the Sea Elf 5

I wondered if there were many of them, and they all grew out of one place. It would be a pseudo to have looked like a rock. There are innumerable suction cups visible in them, stiffened with flexibility unrelated to solidity.

"Octopus!

He looks similar to Oodako in the real world. Most importantly, its size was unusual. There's two meters just for the torso, and there's more than five meters for the legs, right? It's a fantasy classic. It's called Kraken, but in [Seafood Knowledge], I went out with Mizdako. I mean, I knew it was Oodako.

But Oodako wasn't supposed to be an organism living in warm waters... is that just a real story? It is GAO that has two pairs of Bora eyes or the presence of peppery onions. It was a common story to have different characteristics even though the names were together.

"Gu...... Huh!

Ursula shoved her hand into Mizdako's leg and shook it off. It is a fishing gear intended to poke, but the end is sharpened like a blade. Fortunately, the tangled octopus foot wasn't so thick near the tip, and that cut more than half.

He waves again, completely disconnected and Ursula leaves. Cesar pent fangs, pretty sharp.

"Safe!?

Ursula's right foot was still tangled with the tip of a detached octopus foot. I don't see any abnormalities in the eyes, but when I checked with [Diagnostics], I could see that there was a crack in the bone. Is this it in that short time? An octopus is a creature whose whole body is almost a muscle. Does that mean the power is right for that size?

I don't see any other injuries. It's okay for now...... no, isn't it hard to swim decently with these legs?

'I didn't know these octopuses were around here... Was it this guy's fault that the ocean was rough lately...'

Ursula stares at Mizdako with a bitter look. Seems like the kind Ursula has never seen either. I mean, it must have flowed from somewhere, not here.

"If it's a regular octopus, I'd be happy to finish it and bring it home..."

When he did the tangled octopus foot completely detached with a [hand knife] and threw it away, Ursula turned a nostalgic gaze at it.

"More Ursula than that. Can you swim like you just did?

'No, on this leg, tough. It'll take a while to recover. "

Confirming, he received the reply as expected with a sinking voice. Then the policy is settled.

"Let's Run"

They should recognize us, so I thought they'd attack us right away, but Mizdako doesn't show any noticeable movement. Then it's a good idea to leave now.

'No, if you can, I want to keep it here'

But Ursula shook her head to the side.

'This guy's fiction is troublesome. I wouldn't have noticed without Fist's voice earlier. It would be dangerous if we let them get away here. "

'I know what you're trying to say. There's nothing you can do.'

If Ursula is in perfect condition and I'm confident I'll win, I'll leave it to you, but I don't think I can fight properly where I'm new to underwater warfare in Ursula right now. I could only imagine a future to waste.

'Oh. That's why I called for backup earlier'

"Did you call? How?

"I raised the water column to the surface. You can see enough from the island in this position. The guards must be contacting the village."

Asked, Ursula pointed her index finger up. Using it like wolf smoke? When did you do that? Well, that's fine.

"So, until we get backup, how are we going to deal with this?

'I'll take the distance and wait first. If they attack me, I will flee while responding and guiding them toward the island. "

Saying, Ursula slowly began to move away from Mizdako. I move my legs to keep my distance from Mizdako one by one so I don't irritate them.

But are you sure about that? Until backup arrives, there is no guarantee that Mizdako will take care of us. I don't know much about taco mobility in the water, but if an octopus of this size were to swim, it would go pretty fast, wouldn't it? Ursula might be able to swim faster than me on her feet right now, but I don't feel like I can get away with it. We have to stay as far away as possible before the octopus moves out. Otherwise, I'll get Ursula involved because of me.

"Ursula, I knew we'd run away"

"But..."

"I don't want to die, and I don't want you to die."

Grasp Ursula's wrist with a twist and block the words with a strong tone. In this case, it may be normal for the sea elves to do as Ursula does now. But it's still dangerous to stay.

Whatever I am, Ursula, who is in the GAO, will end up there when she dies. If Ursula dies here, there's no face to match Tobias and the others.

'It may be difficult to find it from scratch after you lose sight of it, but I can identify this place better. It should help you explore. "

Even in the water, [world map] can appear, so I can record the location information. If Mizdako went somewhere, it would help to narrow down the scope of the exploration to some extent. Maybe.

'If you knew there was such a guy, you could be more careful in your exploration, and you'd be safer. To do this, we need to live and pass this information on to everyone. If we die here, there could be more damage, right?

'... right. All right, I'll follow your word.'

To my persuasion, Ursula nodded a little later. All right, we got it figured out.

'Then let's go. Hurry as fast as you can.'

"Ah, Fist."

'What's wrong, my leg hurts?

'No, you know... hands...'

Ahead of Ursula as she said, there was my hand grabbing her wrist. Oh.

'Excuse me, did that hurt?

"Well, not so poor a body."

When I let go of my hand and apologized, Ursula turned away as I rubbed my wrist. No, my muscle strength is not normal, and is there any particular abnormality if I apply or subtract the force incorrectly? That's convenient. [Diagnostics] Skills.

Anyway, Mizdako is still standing still under the sea. No, my legs are twisting, my eyes are busy moving, but they're not coming at me. Why isn't this octopus attacking us? Well, it's convenient.

"Let's Go"

Keep your attention on Mizdako and move away one by one. Hmm, it's hard to move in the water after all.

Oh, yeah. Use your [Heat Source Vision] skills to keep an eye on Mizdako. See if we can identify its presence by temperature difference. If this works, it can be used for exploration even if it is simulated.

Which one?

Mizdako herself has blended into the landscape, whether her body temperature is almost the same as the water temperature. Unless it's moving, I'm not going to know. However, there is only one point where the temperature is high. Is that the head part? Hmm, if even partially identifiable, [heat source vision] is still valid for exploration.

Undo your skills to see Mizdako again. Yeah, I told Ursula, but I think it's dangerous to let this guy go wild. But it's more a safety priority than no hitter. I hope there's some way to monitor it. For example, let the water concentrate stick up and let me know if there's any movement, etc.

I was just about to ask if that was possible, and I noticed. I have eyes for Mizdako. Wait, how long has this guy been looking at us -!?

"Hurry, Ursula!

At the same time as I issued the warning, Mizdako moved. But Mizdako pushes toward the unknown, not us. And beyond that, again, I began to ram my legs. There were legs stretching this way, but it's not the distance to reach them.

"What the hell is this? Does octopus act like this?

'It's the first species I've ever seen, so I can't say anything... but don't feel like a lot of wasted moves'

Ursula, who is supposed to be familiar with the sea, also looks puzzled. Is it an octopus that I have even if I am sick of something?

But now I have something clear. This guy was swimming as fast as Ursula in full condition. Once they were properly chased, it was certain they wouldn't get away with it.

"Let's hurry."

Ursula prompts you with a stiff voice as to whether you have increased your sense of crisis. Nodding, further away from Mizdako. No, run away. Leave the scene at all costs.

A big shadow walked past us like that. It stops at the end of our course, fluttering down to the bottom of the sea. You can't even look at it wrong, it's Mizdako. Hey, you pack that distance so easily!?

"It seems impossible to escape"

Ursula squeaks with the look of giving up. Apparently, Mizdako totally recognized us as prey. Do I have to decide to be ready?

"By the way, is there a weakness in the octopus or something?

"You can tighten it if you scratch it between your eyes with a blade, but I don't know if it works for this guy. Besides, we don't have to do this alone, do we?

"Oh. You just have to stick around until backup gets here."

Nod, and I turn my hand toward Mizdako. All I can do now is intercept the stretched leg with a hammer.

"Always, I want to come!

One of my legs is stretching out to me. Moves faster than I thought. As he rolled toward it approaching with a snake-like motion, his cut pierced his octopus foot.

"Noooo!?

But the octopus foot is still tangled in the jaw. I was about to be dragged away, so I hurried away and took a distance, and I saw the pattern of the wax snapped into my octopus foot.

"Fist keep your distance! I can't do this with my bare hands!

Ursula, on the other hand, is precisely poking, slashing, or gorgeously avoiding the octopus foot he's headed for. Since its body is moving upright at the same time as kicking the ground, is it turning off any other water resistance at the moment of kicking the water? He seems to be putting back the resistance when he hangs the brakes.

Either way, it's a move I don't think I'm injured. However, does my right leg still hurt, and even though I don't use it directly, I still flaunt my face from time to time.

You can't just leave it to her, who is an injured person. I wonder if there's anything I can do right now.

Even if I use spiritual magic, I can't think of anything that could do direct damage to Mizdako in the water. There are no weapons that can be used underwater. Things in [space storage] cannot be removed in the water in the first place.

The only hand I can think of is [Magic Conversion: Thunder]. Electric shock may be effective. It's just that I could be electrically shocked. I've never used it in the water, so I don't know what will happen.

So you can't use it with Ursula beside you. I've heard that denki eels can only be discharged long enough to touch, but I don't know how far they actually reach. I should have tried it somewhere if this was going to happen.

It's a pitiful story, but all I can do is, in the end, seem to stay out of Ursula's way. I wish I could conveniently reduce water resistance like her, but I'm not going to be able to imitate that cleverly. If this were on the ground, I'd punch you in the bump. Just octopus.

There are eight octopus feet, but about two are heading directly to Ursula. Other legs are acting unintelligible, stretching momentum to those without anything, or tangling with other legs. It's nice not to come at us at the same time, but on the contrary, it was making it difficult to read the movement.

Either way, did you think it was a bad idea that you were going to keep it until backup came?

Mizdako, who had crawled under the sea until just before and had only stretched his legs, advanced towards Ursula. Kicking the water, Ursula nevertheless dodged a direct hit, but Mizdako's stretched leg as he passed through captured Ursula.

From Ursula, who was grabbed in the torso by each arm, I heard some creaking dull noises. Without screaming, she exhales loud air bubbles with you and loses her strength as it is. The beam that was in his hand broke away and sank to the bottom of the sea.

Mizdako spreads her other legs and draws her feet grabbing Ursula as she slowly descends to the bottom of the sea like a falling umbrella. Octopus mouth should be at the root of the eight legs, at the center of it. That's where Ursula's body is headed.

"Let me. Wow!

I don't think you can do enough damage to stop the predation by going straight in and attacking it. If we're going to do this, we have to stop the predation itself.

Appeal to the water sperm. We should be able to figure it out if we don't think about fine control. I was asked to reduce the resistance of the water on my body by only one point, and at the same time kicked the water out of my mind enough to scaffold.

Apparently, it worked, and my body thrusts at a rate slightly slower than the ground. The way ahead, it's not Mizdako itself, it's the undersea below it.

"Whoa!"

My first behavior prevented me from grasping my senses and pushed me out of my face with excessive momentum. It's too late to regret that I should have wrapped my bowl of gold around it. Shredding your forehead with rocky skin, but with your feet on the bottom of the sea, face up.

Mizdako is directly on top. There was a mouth in the center of the base of my leg. I see a black, hard protrusion that closely resembles the mouth of a bird, also known as a crow tombi. They chew up shrimp and crab shells with even regular octopuses. If that one, which seems bigger than a person's head, were directed at him or her, he or she would be lightly bitten off. To keep you from...

"Hmm!?

I doubted my eyes when I tried to move. His mouth protruded further out of the crow tombie. It's like a snake with a mouth. An alien with a long back of the head of an SF!? Are you an octopus and a sea urchin or something!?

Kick the seabed to the full extent and ascend vertically. [Fist Hammer Strike] was activated to slap his right arm between his mouth and Ursula's body. Keep your mouth shut and eat up in my arms.

Moments, the pain ran while the right arm was lighter and the red smoke spread. My mouth pulls in and the crow tombi chews off what was ahead of me lightly. I mean, first from my right elbow, what was my forearm.

"Ko...... of, by the knob. Yikes!

With his left hand as a [hand knife], he protruded to the side of the crow tombi. My left hand dives into Mizdako's wrist with a stiff response. Exactly did this work, and as Mizdako began to rise, black objects spread around her. It's an ink.

I get swung up and strained on my wrist, but if I let you go here, you lose your chance to fight back. While maintaining the [hand knife], move your hand so that it chooses the crow tombi and moves to the desired position. Between the eye and the eye, to the back of it.

"Screw you!

Stretched out the "Cuisine Tree Clothes" and tangled them in the lost power crow tombi, fixing their bodies and releasing [Enhanced Magic Strike]. When the pile of magic could play in Mizdako, the resistance became even more intense. One of my octopus legs got tangled up in my right leg, but it's too late!

When I tap into the [Enhanced Magic Strike] again, Mizdako's body color changes white as I see it. Looks like we made it through the steeple.

Tighten your right arm with the Cuisine Tree Clothes to stop the bleeding. I swung my octopus leg as it was and once I left Mizdako. The visibility is poor because of the ink, but the location of Ursula is known. Sure, over here. - Like, crossing something now?

I'm curious, but Ursula's cheap check is a priority. Ursula was freed and drifting. When I approached him and checked his condition, I found [diagnosis] that he was fractured all over his body.

I am in a terrible state but I have breath. I'm relieved, but I can't leave it like this. We have to hurry back to the island.
