The Skill Maker

Generally, they are treated in the same classification as monsters. They are so violent and fierce that many people actually mistake them for mere monsters. But if you look inside, you can actually realize that it is a clear misunderstanding. Rather, if you look inside the fish, you can see that they are as intelligent as humans. In other words, in short, they were a race no different from each other. A group of people who train themselves, build strength, and skillfully use various tools throughout their lives.

No. Even among some of the languages, there have often been special individuals with much better heads than human scholars. As creatures, the fish were powerful, clever, and efficient enough to form a great independent culture. While ordinary monsters rely only on their strength, strength and instinct, intelligent fish were creatures with the potential for evolution to develop and improve tools like humans. And in this regard, it was no wonder that the Eighth Army commander of the Order of Armudor was a clan.

[Shocked]

The Grand Sod Master and main tanker spewed out nausea with a disconcerted look. As soon as I entered the entrance to the underwater city, I met a hundred wild fish. He was already facing a challenge that he might have to give up his attack. Furthermore, there was no guarantee that they would not go through this situation again even if they were turned back immediately and made a detour along the outside. Humans can never beat the speed of a fisherman in the water just by his ability to swim.

Glay opened his mouth heavily.

[How many of you can fight back?] I guess I only have three at a time.]

[I think I can do up to four.]

I'm ashamed, but I don't think it's possible for Ariel to have two!]

[Crrrrrrrrr... I also have three limits.]

[I have about three, too. A head-to-head match is absolutely impossible. Shouldn't we somehow find a way around?]

The party members almost instinctively turned their eyes toward me.

Because in the first place this journey of ancient roe was like I was leading it completely. It's natural to ask me, the leader and the most powerful person in the party, for guidance. Normally, Glay would've chosen the main tanker.

I shook my head slowly towards Ranger K'rgos.

It is a conclusion that adds judgment as an S-class hunter.

[It won't do any good to make a detour. It's not just a dungeon, it's a place called the Fishermen's City anyway. The field of view is too bright overall. Unless we're clear on one side of the staff, it's too much to go into the city. More than anything else, it's probably because the number of fish is this high.]

[But crossing that place is too dangerous. If you hit it normally, it would be a significant risk...]

I opened my mouth coldly.

[White.]

[... yes?]

[You just asked me how many men I could fight against. I can deal with about a hundred fish by myself. It's kind of annoying, but I'll do it. Don't lose your energy and stay back and watch. It'll be over soon.]

But despite what I said.

People were still looking blank.

I guess the thinking circuit doesn't follow me.

[Sir, did I get it wrong? The telepathy isn't broken, is it?]

[Bears, bags...] Marie?]

[Alone? A hundred?]]

The expressions of the party members, mingled with embarrassment and wonder.

No, what are you guys staring at me like that? These people have seen me hunting Arkalhect, but they still can't estimate my combat power. Of course it's a hundred fish of this level. It's dog gum. Despite my rise in stature in , it occurred to me that my awareness of force was still only this much among people.

[Didn't you ask for this because you knew I was strong?]]

[What? Oh, no, of course it is. But a hundred is too much...

You'll understand if you show it yourself.

I glanced a step forward without saying much, and then flipped my finger lightly. There was a way to force the party members to fight. If these people let go of their fighting here for no reason, I felt like they would hold me back in important situations later on. That'll make it even more troublesome.

Skill Rating: C

: Capture all targets with mana within a certain range when triggered.

Let's see. Wow, so many?

The moment when four incandescent beings were captured in the detection mana skill.

I flipped my fingers one more time to activate the newly conceived skill. a newly invented skill because it bothers me to bounce my fingers every time I write something. If this is the case, it's all right if you bounce it just once. At the same time, you can spout at least 50 to 500 spelled words in all directions.

Skill Rating : S+

: Transform all target life forms into animals when triggered.

Popping! Popping! Boom! Boom!

A hundred or so fishermen who turn into animals with a burst of water.

Since the fishermen were of this free type, just like the Arkhect, they were easily caught by Hex without any resistance. Because my skills are not based on mana, even mana resistance is meaningless. It's my first time using multiple hex, but it's quite a satisfying result.

By the way, in general, fishermen are fish-like creatures that combine gills and lung breathing, but... So what about now that you've turned into an animal? Can they really breathe underwater?

Wow, I was curious about this. This is how you test it.

Rumbling! Rumbling!

Sneak! Sneak! Sneak!

Boiling! Boiling! Boiling!

And after a while.

I couldn't help but smile a little bit bitter at the sight of a hundred of them struggling in the water. Oh, my God. If the fishermen were drowned in the water and died, this would be amazing. It's like a monkey falling from a tree and dying from drowning. Think about it. Isn't it ridiculous? A similar situation was now unfolding before my eyes in real time.

Boiling, bubbling, bubbling!

Hold on! Hold on!

So, the conclusion of today's test.

No matter how underwater a creature is, it will not be able to breathe if it becomes a ground animal after being hit by a hex!

I don't know if I can use this again. Now, just in case. Memo memo.

But why do you always use Hex?

Aren't you tired of using Hex all the time?

Well... that's because I like Hex skills. Moreover, it was my usual theory that using advanced skills for these guys was clearly a waste of energy. Multiple hexes would be enough, but why overuse other skills? Of course, if there is a superior monster that is about [A], or if there are powerful boss-like beings, I will bring out a lot of the power of my powerful skills. But if you're dealing with a mob like you are now... Most of the time, just mixing a few pieces of rice cake with rice cake was enough.

As the situation cleared up, I looked back and opened my mouth to the party members.

Now you understand what I mean, you can catch a hundred fish at once, right?

[How do I do it, everyone? a hundred fish Isn't it easy?]

[...Mmaeaeae!]

[Beep! Beep! Beep!]

[Cock-a-doodle-doo!]

But at that moment.

I belatedly realized what major mistake I made when I saw five animals staring at me with a puzzled look on their faces behind me. Oh, come to think of it, I've forgotten that you might get the skill. If it hadn't been for a jump in underwater breathing, we could've drowned the party members.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

I flipped my finger and lifted the spell from the party members at once, until the members breathed a long sigh of relief as if they had lived. Surely the experience of human being being an animal was not so common. When I had a chance later on, I thought I should try Hex myself. If you know in advance what level of defiance you can make in animal form, it will certainly help you to subdue the enemy later on.

[Oh, my God...]

[They're all dead, aren't they?]

The fishermen fell into the water and were wiped out. Drowned and released one by one from Hex skill. The party members spared no reverence for me. Even the nine-circle wizard looked at me with such a bewildered look on his face where his usual coy expression went. As a top-level wizard, she seemed to have no idea the mechanism of the mass killing techniques I had committed. It was a very different type of magic from your common sense.

[Mi, Minhyuk?] Wasn't Minhyuk a warrior-type talent? How can you use such powerful magic? You didn't tear the scroll, and you're not a magic crew, and it's an immediate activation. Well, I'm so confused right now. And most of all, the movement of mana. I can't believe your skills are activated without it at all. I can't believe it even when I see it with my own eyes. Can you explain that part?]

The crocodile Suin and the main tanker tilted their heads to her words.

[And then certainly there was no movement of Mana.]

[I'm curious, too. What the hell is going on? Minhyuk.]

After a moment's consideration of what to explain, I decided to completely hide what I was. Those who understand my class correctly are more than just the closest people to Lena Scarlett, Hyunchun, Jakal, Galonix, etc. If others find out, I feel like I'm going to have another problem.

I snapped off my pretense and opened my mouth.

[In fact, I'm a class that uses the power of the heresy. Not only is the art of singing, but also the magic is getting a little bit better. Oh, of course, using the power of this world, it doesn't take the least bit of what you think. The starting point of the skill itself is completely different from yours.]

Ah! Is that the power of the heresy? Well, I see. So you couldn't feel the flow of Mana at all.]

But there are so many things I don't understand...]

With Elisha looking at me with a strange look and a murmur.

The convalescent little lady also shook her head.

[Because I use weird magic!] By the way, you're amazing! It's admirable!]

I smiled at the little lady with her eyes glistening. The cuteness of the healer was different from anyone else, although I felt from the first time I saw him. There is a innocence that makes you smile naturally. Besides, you respect me. You're such a cute boy.

By the way, you don't look very old, but at that age, you're more than an A-rank in the whole universe. It occurred to me that she might be a great genius.

[Yes. Your cuteness is admirable, too.]

[...Yes?]

[Do you want to be a secret friend with Mr. Azo?]

[?]

with her puzzled expression on her face

I sent telepathy to the party members, giving up the nonsense.

Oh, don't get me wrong. That was a joke.

I'm a normal man who likes adult women.

[I don't think it's time to chat. Let's get moving right away for now. If other languages see this place now, there will be more restrictions on their movement. Let's hurry as fast as we can before that.]

[Well, come to think of it, this is not the time. You're right.]

[I'll lead the way.]

With Ranger K'rgos coming forward with a compass.

I bounced my fingers and secretly activated another extra skill. A wizard has been staring at me with a strange look since a while ago. Maybe you don't easily believe the word Machangsa. Either he or I have a crush on him.

Skill Rating : C+

: When triggered, the target is disguised to resemble the surrounding terrain.

(Not available to living creatures.)

I hid the bodies of the fishermen using the power of camouflage, and soon began to swim skillfully toward the city of the fishermen. For now, we'll just have to delay it somehow. Only until the moment we find traces of Glay's fiancée, grab the material item and leave here.

End of Underwater City (3).
