"Grrrrrrrr!"
Seto's sounding of good mood echoes into the sky.
Ray and Seto were flying in the sky to the port town of Emosion, which is also their destination, as the spring sun poured down like heavy rain the day before was a lie.
Ahead of such one and one gaze was a vast horizon that seemed to last everywhere.
Several ships can be seen moving off the coast of Emosion, or some moored to the harbour. In terms of ships, there is also a wide variety of vessels, from huge vessels like those of the outer ocean, to vessels that come and go with ports on the same continent as the Kingdom of Mireana, or to fishing vessels.
Looking at such a sight from above, Ray was once again fascinated by the sight, as was Seto.
But at that time... from one of the ships that was crossing the sea at the end of Ray's and Seto's sight, suddenly bows, magic, and all other things like barrels, swords, and spears are thrown into the sea.
"... what?
For a moment, I wondered if I had even been boarded by a pirate or something, but I immediately reconsidered that there was no way that a pirate would break out where I could see him from the harbor. And the next moment I remembered why I had come to this city of emotions.
"I see, that's what the monsters are doing in the ocean."
At the end of his gaze, lightning arrows, flaming spheres, and water spears are released one after the other, but the monsters in the sea are shielded by sea water to absorb most of the magical power, and the damage doesn't go through. Still, he's attacking the sea just wondering if he can give up, but the monster never shows up at sea, eventually sinking as the ship leans down to see if there's a hole in the bottom of the boat.
I guess we're on our way to rescue that ship. Or are some aimed at defeating monsters in search of a prize money, from the harbor you can see several ships heading offshore.
"Grrrrrrrr?"
What are you gonna do? Ray worries about Seto, who asks tilting his little neck all the time.
In the sense of rescue, if Seto were to put him on besides Ray, a child, or a woman, would be such an ingenious place. That would also be harder for an opponent like that if he were wearing heavy equipment like armor.
You'll be fine if you grab it with your forefoot hook nail, but that means you don't have to drown to get hurt with your hook nail, or worse, you're likely to die.
"But... right. Is it a good opportunity to sell your name here? If you make a better impression, there 'll be fewer idiots involved."
Instead of helping people, we conclude what to do with the product we intend to do entirely and turn our gaze offshore.
I guess we already did something there that would completely destroy the bottom of the ship. The ship was sinking rapidly.
"Seto! Let's go rescue him as the first step to selling our names. Try to avoid the outer walls and move on!
"Grrrrrr!"
Ringing high to Ray's words, he leaves his wings winged and proceeds toward the sea.
In doing so, consider the possibility that measures are in place for monsters flying in the air on the outer walls, just like in the city of Gilm, and remember to instruct them to fly away from the outer walls.
Of course, they don't necessarily have the same tricks as the city of Gilm, which is the border, but they still had to, just in case. Hooked up in a city trick for help and crashed to death. In order not to be like that.
When Seto was making his way to the sea to bypass the city of Emosion, most of the rescue vessels that had yet to depart from the port had not arrived in the area of the scene.
Basically, I can't help but have difficulty with speed than being a handkerchief or sailboat, but nevertheless the few magic-item ships have arrived in the field waters and are wary of the sea while rescuing people thrown into the sea.
It's not just the monsters that sank the ship earlier. There are many other monsters in the ocean, and those monsters are aimed at passengers thrown into the ocean.
"Damn, make the attack magic more intense! You don't have to defeat the monsters, you don't have to be weak magic anyway, so shoot the numbers and buy time! Reinforcements from the harbor will arrive soon! That's enough to tailor the monster!
One of several magic item ships present in the site waters. The ship was a small ship about 3 m long and there was no spatial margin to help those not very much but thrown into the surrounding sea. Therefore, the leaders of the adventurers aboard the ship focus not on rescuing those around them, but desperately on capturing the monsters that are after the passengers from the sea.
"Please, come quickly..."
I turn my gaze from the harbor to the multiple ships headed this way as I pray, and at the same time I throw the one in my hand at a monster with the upper body of the crab and the lower body of the jellyfish that was about to strike a passenger who was near the ship.
The attack itself could not be damaged by being inhibited by a double defense: seawater and crab armor, but it must have nevertheless become a drag. Flip on the spot and turn back to the bottom of the ocean.
"Leader! Anyway, just the guys near this ship won't put it up on the ship!? There are too many enemies after us like this to keep up with our maneuvers!
I shake my head with a look on the voice of my fellow adventurers aboard the ship as if they had chewed up a bitter bug.
"No. If we get people up on the ship now, we can't move. That will result in more damage!
"But... Yep! It's stuck!
A female archer releasing an arrow with a bow she had while screaming.
A released arrow was about to swallow whoever was in the sea. It pierced the head of a fish with a huge body length of about 2m, killing his life.
Life-threatening monsters sink straight into the sea. At the same time, when small monsters gather together, they eat into their bodies and chew them into pieces.
"Hey, hey, hey! Over there! There's a bunch of snake-like people coming!
When the leader who was in command turned to the voices of his companions, there was certainly a group of monsters like the Umi Snake coming from those off the coast to themselves.
"Gu, that number is awkward. Suole, do extensive magic! Surely there was a lightning guy, wasn't there?
"I can't. I can't! The sea is all around us! Damage will be done to those in the sea!
Monsters in the ocean are basically weak points in lightning system magic, but using it naturally damages people in the ocean as well.
The leader's man, who remembered the affair with agitation, is lost for a moment… the stray causes a deadly delay in time.
"Ghaaaaaaaa!
"What!?
A scream that sounded abrupt. Turning his gaze to those who heard the scream, there was a middle-aged man sailor in his 40s about to sink into the sea.
It is a transparent ocean, so what did it can be clearly seen in the eyes of the leader.
"Damn, dude!
Yes, the group of snake-like monsters that were heading toward the one with this ship at the sight of it was a bunch of snakes, and what should be called fate was ahead of it as it swam deeper into position.
Not that thick, but its snake monster, as if it were over 4m long, opens its mouth with sharp fangs as it dives into the sea wrapping its torso around the body of the sailor's man… In the next moment, there is a lot of blood mixed in the sea water.
"Shit, shit, shit! The reinforcements aren't coming yet!
He turns backwards screaming, but the distance from the ship coming from the harbor does not appear to have shrunk so much compared to earlier.
As it is, by the time reinforcements arrive, they will be in danger to themselves rather than to help people thrown out in the sea.
Not only this party, but all the other parties with magic item ships thought so with despair.
For a moment, do we run away alone rather than being wiped out like this? I can think of that, but I can't do it if I can turn my gaze to those who are in the sea.
"Leader, big fat ass went that way!
Turn aggressively to the voice of your fellow archer. At that time, what came into the sight of the leader was a sharp fang with a mouth large enough to swallow itself, and growing innumerably in it.
(Oh, no...)
Unexpectedly groans so in the heart. Enemies are already too close to evade, and we can't even intercept them in time.
Will my less than 20 years of life end up here? So despair dyed my thoughts, then.
Flying slaughter!
A huge mouth that was imminent to eat and kill itself at the same time as I heard such a voice was forced to shift sideways in the air, a monster with a huge mouth directly next to the leader...... at first glance the huge presence of whether there would be a 5m body length that looked like a cum jumps over the ship of magic items and dives into the sea, not putting anything in its belly.
"... what?
Weren't you supposed to die? Why is he alive? Whose voice was the unfamiliar voice earlier? I whine with that thought, but no response from my fellow partiers. No, for some reason, there was no interception against the approaching enemy monster of the elephant, just staring up at the sky with his mouth wide open.
The leader's man was unaware, but that was also true of other adventurer parties with several magic item ships around them, or those thrown into the sea.
I tried to look up reflexively at what had happened to my people, at that time.
"Shit, you're stiff. I didn't know you could only scratch a scratch with a flying slash."
Such a voice descends from the top with the winged sound of wings.
"Grrrrrrrr"
"Oh, right. Anyway, I know that if you're about to attack a monster in the ocean like you are now, you can handle it without a problem. The timing is later...... hey, you okay?
To the voice of the little boy, the leader who returns to me. But for a moment I find it hard to believe if I've really returned it to me. Could it be that I still sleep in the bed of an inn in the city of Emosion? Isn't this a dream? That's what I assume.
Anyway, at the end of the gaze is Griffon, a rank A monster, who has the upper body of an eagle and the lower body of a lion. Besides, there are adventurers and thought beings on their backs, and they call out to themselves with giant sickles that are bigger than their heights.
Even adventurers...... no. Ray and Ray, that adventurer who was searching for what was going on in the ocean, gaze at that sight that seemed incredible because he was an adventurer.
"I came here to rescue you, but I need your help if I can."
In one word, the leader who remembered what they had come so far to do returns to me.
Moreover, although gradually, ships departing from the port were also approaching, and several of the foot boasts had already considerably reduced their distance.
The leader man who sees it speaks to Ray as he quickly ascertains what's going on around him.
"I appreciate you coming to reinforcements. Later for more information, take the people in the sea to the big ships that are coming from behind!
"I don't mind that... Shit, you're persistent!
Once again, when he noticed an earlier monster like a giant birch coming up into the sea and targeting himself, Ray took the spear out of the mysterious ring and put it on his right hand, holding the death size in his left hand.
"If it's a fish, it's like a fish... stay skewered!
The spear released with the words slashes and rips the air, and even the sea water, into the mouth of a monster of the shape of the octopus that was returning to jump into the air, piercing it into his throat.
Ray himself is skewered to pierce his body from his throat, as he himself put it, a monster shaped like a twilight that sinks into the sea.
(Sinks? I think it usually floats when I die. Especially here in the ocean.... but shit. Is it hard to get the demon stone of the monster that defeated you?)
If it had just sunk in the sea, it would be possible to pull it up if the sea around here was transparent. But there are numerous monsters around, and those monsters don't overlook what feeds them. For example, even if it's a monster defeated by adventurers.
In fact, the X-ray-shaped monsters that Ray has just defeated are already swarming into massive amounts of monsters in the sea, rapidly decreasing the volume of their bodies. Probably only bone after a few minutes.
"Hey, you! Anyway, get some help! I need you to fly in the sky and carry someone in the ocean to a big ship headed this way!
Under the influence of a crowd of monsters in the sea on the octopus that Ray defeated, a man of adventurers who could finally breathe a sigh of relief tells him so, but Ray quickly turns his gaze towards those in the sea without nodding.
Will there be roughly 100 of them? There were more on the ship, but those who shared destiny with the ship and those involved in a series of battles. And above all, many of them were the bait of monsters swimming in the sea, reducing the number to this extent.
"All I can carry with my riding griffon is heavy thinking, women and children. Still okay?
"Oh, oh! Please!"
If I can't do it a little bit, I can naturally carry a grown man. But then Seto's health drained rapidly, so he wanted to avoid it in a rescue mission that didn't know how long it would take. But...
"Grrrrrrrr!"
Show Ray the ornament hanging on his neck as Seto rings.
Shizukuishi of Mercy. It is a magic item that gives you a constant healing effect. Seto insists that it doesn't have such a powerful healing effect, but that it's okay to carry grown men to large ships that are still coming close by.
With such a stroke on Seto's neck, it was Ray who first spoke that he should carry a woman and child without any means of confrontation against the monster.
