Chapter 324: Tyrol and the sunken ship investigation
Chapter 324: Tyrol and the sunken ship investigation
The next day, school is over and I log in. Today I decided to go to the sea. The goal is to get information on Treasure Island. Ruin-san and the others said that there was still a good chance that there were clues on other ships.
When I went outside to go to the Lagoon Sea, I happened to meet Rook and Tyrol and when I told them where I'm headed, Tyrol said she wanted to go with me. Tyrol has a penguin and mermaid. She also said that she can go underwater if she wears a swimsuit and submarine, so I decided to go with her.
Rook also wanted to go with us, but unfortunately, Rook does not have a summoned beast with water aptitude, so he was sad.
I left Rook like that and headed for the Lagoon Sea. My members are Ion, Lian, Puyosuke, Dian and Surfi.
"I feel so relieved..."
Tyrol has a little mermaid and a full volt penguin that evolved from a penguin.
"I'm wondering if I should aim in earnest because there is a summoned beast that can handle underwater"
"You and Surfi play in the pool a lot, don't you?"
"Ahahaha...dolphins and orcas have always been my favorites"
I understand. I also like them. At any rate, I formed a legion with Tyrol, put on the submarine and dove into the sea.
"It seems to be alright"
"Good. Then get on Surfi"
"Are you sure?"
"You've never fought underwater before, have you? Then you'd better get on Surfi. It's very painful"
Hearing this, Tyrol pulls back.
"Is it Takuto-san?"
"Even me. Specifically, Ion, Lian. I'm asking you to fight"
""Yes!""
It's just as it should be.
"I see that Takuto-san is at the level where he is entrusted to do battle. Then, Surfi-chan. Take care of me, okay?"
"Kyu!"
There is an option for a two-person ride, but I'll leave that to Rook.
First, we lightly defeat Squids and Octopuses. Lian talked about Octopus as a strong enemy and handled it calmly. Tyrol is happy to get the octopus legs.
And Tyrol's full volt penguin was strong. It was slower than Ion in speed, but that would be a level difference. Probably, it originally has the speed of Ion class. Furthermore, it can use lightning magic, which is a big advantage. Full Volt Penguin is a real penguin.
They also beat Tyrol riding on Surfi. Me? There was no way I could do anything.
"How's it going?"
"It's fun!"
That's good to know. As we continue on, we come to a Manfish, the natural enemy of Ion and Lian.
"What is it!? That thing! Too creepy!"
Tyrol said so, so the target is Tyrol's Little Mermaid. Then Lian goes on the defense.
"Don't you dare touch my junior! Pile Bunker!"
Lian's full force pile bunker exploded into the face of the Manfish and finished it off. That was a magnificent blow.
"Lian, you are getting stronger"
"Yes"
Without a doubt, that battle with Gozuki made Lian stronger. She is embarrassed to receive a longing look from Tyrols Little Mermaid.
"If she gets that strong, she'll be fine even if a giant Manfish comes out"
"I can't do it, so I'll leave it to Lian"
Lian comes in a hurry when she hears me and Ion's conversation.
"Takuto-senpai! Don't be horrible! Ion-senpai, please fight too!"
Everyone laughs at Lian's attack.
"I see Takuto-san is having such an adventure"
"Is Tyrol different?"
"I'm struggling to stay alive"
Full Volt Penguin and Little Mermaid nodded. It must be tough.
Now that the wreckage of the ship is in sight, I explain the enemy to Tyrol and ask her to back off.
The wreckage of the sunken ship glows red when I spot it.
"Puyosuke!"
Puyosuke spreads out and guards against the attack of the Archerfish. Now, let's get that wreck vacated!
After defeating the Archerfish, we search the wreck, but find nothing. It's an outlier. But Tyrol is excited about the search for the wreck.
"After all, it's a sunken ship! You don't get this kind of experience very often"
"I guess so. Then, let's keep looking"
"Yes!"
Then, after the battle and the search for the sunken ship, we found two treasure chests. That's quite an accomplishment. We found the wreck and the enemy with Lian and Surfi's sound detection and when we let Dian, who had become invisible through mimicry, surprise us, it was quite good.
Finally, we found a large sunken ship. This one needs to be explored, but there are a lot of enemies.
Hammerhead Shark Lv20
Normal Monster Subjugation Target Active
Tiger Shark Lv20
Summon Monster Subjugation Target Active
I have fought one tiger shark before, but this one is at a higher level. I wonder if it's because they are legion in number.
"Takuto-san...this is a bad idea..."
"It's bad...but on the other hand, it's suspicious"
"Right...would you do it?"
"We'll have to do it"
But we're going to have to make a plan for this. Fortunately, the other side is trying to stay close to the sunken ship. I'll check with Tyrol first.
"Can Tyrol use magic while riding on Surfi?"
"I can do it!"
"Then get on Surfi and do your magic"
"I understand! Is Takuto-san going to be okay?"
I'm not okay at all. So let's call for help.
"Summon Legion!"
I called Chess and Sabik. Underwater forces, massed! I don't care if there are more of them!
"Chess, take defense"
Tyrol's little mermaid sings and the buff is activated. Let's go!
"Thunder Branch!"
""Thunder Branch!""
I use continuous chanting and use Thunder Branch with Tyrol. Countless lightning strikes and the sharks come. As I thought, continuous chanting is very effective against many enemies.
"We will intercept them!"
Ion takes the lead and confronts the sharks. Ion cuts through it and the tiger shark activates its frenzy. It's getting angry fast! Its boiling point is too low!
Sabik and Dian are struggling in the mix. They try to counter the bite of the tiger shark with armor, but it doesn't matter, it bites. And they are taking damage. It's some kind of physical destruction skill.
Furthermore, hammerhead sharks don't bite. Instead, it shines its head like a hammer, rushes at you and hits you by swinging it around.
Apparently, it uses the usual hammer techniques. This reminded me of the diary...I guess this is the guy who hit and sank those explorers at the end of their expedition.
He's a tough opponent for a snake type. It's tightened and knocked down, but it's not good as it is.
I'll take the healer's role! Tyrol, you're in charge of the attack
I understand!
If I heal, the next target will be me. I'm not stupid. Chess provokes and intercepts me, but it's still strong against armor. I can't keep up with my recovery at this rate...what do we do?
At that moment, I found a shark that was not participating in the attack at the wreck.
Sturgeon Lv23
Normal Monster Subjugation Target Non-Active
Sturgeon!? Caviar!?
Ion! There's a shark down there that isn't attacking! Take it down!
Eh? I, I understand!
Ion is leaving the line of fire...oh shit. I made a mistake...I split the force. But I want to finish off the sturgeon at all costs.
What would Mirai do in such a situation? ...This is the only way I can think of.
Chess, Sabik, Puyosuke, Dian...I'm going to ask you to do something pretty tough, okay?
The four of them nodded. Okay, I'm not going to let them die.
Sabik, Dian, join Chess and Puyosuke. Lian, take me with you and make up the distance
Eh? I, I understand
Lian pulls me to a distance. The tiger shark follows me. Okay, here's where we're going to have to start.
Chess, Puyosuke! Provocation!
Chess and Puyosuke use provocation and the sharks swarm around them.
Tyrol! Aim!
Eh!? I, I understand!
"Lian use curse song"
"I understand!"
Tyrol uses thunder branch. Her full volt penguin also uses lightning magic to finish off the swarming sharks. I just keep using area heals.
They are scattered, so I can't keep up with their recovery. Then I can collect them and stabilize the recovery. I have continuous chanting. The exchange of attacks and recovery continues...I'll make sure they have it!
I got him! Takuto-san! I'll join the battle!
Sturgeon got it! All that's left is to win. I'll give the orders to Ion.
Please. Aim for the sharks on the other side of us
I understand!
Ion uses throwing maneuver and discharge to reduce their numbers at once. Ion's strength is highlighted.
Ion's entry into the battle reduces the number at once and my recovery becomes stable. using MP potions, we manage to annihilate them all safely, though just barely and the info comes in.
Sacred magic level has reached 10. You have acquired sacred magic Heal All and Shining
Tyrol's little mermaid evolved.
"Thank you for all your hard work. Thank you for letting us evolve"
"Congratulations. Good job Tyrol"
"Umm...do you do this kind of battle every day, Takuto-san?"
"I've had my fair share of struggles lately, but this was one of the hardest. The hammerhead sharks were new to me and the tiger sharks were not a good match for our group"
This time, it highlighted how much we rely on our defensive skills in underwater battles.
"I'm sorry. I was slowing you down"
"You've been a tremendous help to me. If it hadn't been for Tyrol, I would have chosen to retreat"
The fact that Chess and the others were actually safe was a big part of Tyrol's little mermaids buff. Furthermore, without Tyrol and her full volt penguin attacks, this operation would not have been possible.
"I'm embarrassed when people say that"
"You were able to get through the last event, weren't you? Be more confident"
"Y, Yes!"
Then we'll split up and dismantle them.
Water Ore: Rarity 2 Material Quality E+
An ore with water attribute. It is used for making water-based weapons.
Tiger Shark Tail Fin: Rarity 4 Ingredient Quality D
Tiger shark tail fins. Known as a high quality ingredient, it can be dried to make shark fins.
Water ore is obtained from hammerhead sharks. From the rarity, it's a water iron ore. It's a bit more subtle now, but we'll take it as a souvenir for Hephaestus, just in case.
From the tiger shark, we got a piece of meat and a tooth. The tail fin is very rare. There were so many of them and Tyrol won only one. Well, shark fins make sense.
"Umm...this is Takuto-sans..."
"That's what Tyrol got, right? Take it. I've got this"
Caviar: Rarity 6 Ingredient Quality C
Sturgeon eggs. Known as a luxury ingredient, it is generally eaten salted.
Tyrol is surprised.
"Caviar!? Ah, maybe it's the unusual level of increase or the fact that Ion-chan slipped out in the middle of the fight"
"Yeah, I found a sturgeon"
"Umm...I know how you feel, but it got pretty dangerous, didn't it?"
"I'm sorry about that, too. I never would have made that decision in that situation"
I need to properly reflect on my mistake. Then Tyrol told me about Surfi's success. Apparently, Surfi's jamming sound wave has the effect of confusing opponents. It seems that the tiger sharks that were exposed to the jamming sound waves were biting each other.
"Wasn't there anything strange about Takuto-san's magic?"
She asked me about continuous chanting. Since I am not hiding it, I told her about delay magic and beast magic. Tyrol laughed at me. I'm getting used to that reaction by now.
Now, there's one last thing left to do. We have to explore the sunken ship.
