03-10　Death Sea Serpent

For now, Reiko and Reinhardt remained at the rental dock. Then they all felt a strange magic power for the sea, they became wary.

And then it appeared.

「Uwa, ah!」

「Wha-Wha-What!?」

Surprised voices sounded.

With a neck projecting from the sea level in the harbour, it was a huge serpent. It was approaching here at tremendous speeds.

「Death Sea Serpent……」

Someone muttered so. That was exactly right, it was a giant sea snake called Death Sea Serpent. It’s length was over 10 metres.

「Lorelei!」

「Yes creator.」

Reihardt’s golem emerged from the sea.

「Defeat the Death Sea Serpent over there!」

「Yes.」

Reiko headed towards Reihardt,

「Please wait, Reinhardt.」

「Hm?　What is it Reiko.」

「Um, do you know that demon over there?」

「Ah. I’ve only just heard of it. It’s a huge sea snake that can use magic power. Of course, magic with the water attribute won’t affect it.」

Reihardt accumulated magic in his right hand.

「What is effective is……」

At that time, Lorelei hit the body of the Death Sea Serpent. With this, the speed of the Death Sea Serpent fell.

Angrily, the Death Sea Serpent opened it’s big mouth and tried to devour Lorelei.

「It’s fire magic!　……Flame Lance!」

Aiming at its open mouth, Reihardt fired his magic. It had a fast speed as wasn’t difficult to aim, it hit the open mouth of the Death Sea Serpent.

The Death Sea Serpent gave a Gyaaaaa cry and thrashed about. Lorelei had already escaped.

「I’m a bit sympathetic……..but with that rampage that seems impossible?」

As it thrashes around the harbour, it created large waves. Small boats swayed like leaves and were overturned.

Jin and Marcia’s Cygnus is a catamaran and is very stable, with Arrow’s skill to manipulate, there wasn’t a need to worry for now.

Reiko confirmed it,

「Reinhardt, I’ll stop the Death Sea Serpent for a little while. In the mean time, please do what you did before and bombard it with magic」

With that said、she jumped into the sea without even waiting for Reinhardt’s reply.

「What?　That girl?」

「That’s reckless!　What is she thinking?」

Such voices rose from those watching.

Reinhardt, believing the words of the artifact automata Reiko, started to accumulate magic in his right hand.

It was harder to swim without the swimming suit but in a short period of time, Reiko made it to the Death Sea Serpent and decided to try striking the body. She started with 10% output.

There was a sound like striking a lump of iron.

Although he believed in Reiko, Reinhardt truly doubted his own eyes. Reiko’s upper blow blew the Death Sea Serpent a few metres away.

The Death Sea Serpent’s body was 50cm in diameter. Half of it lifted out of the sea. In reaction, Reiko sank to the seabed.

「It’s truly hard.」

Reiko sank into the sea, letting herself sink, she put a foot at a time onto the seabed. Then, kicking hard against the seabed, with that momentum, she plunged towards the Death Sea Serpent.

After rampaging and taking a single blow, the Death Sea Serpent’s movements had become somewhat slow in Reiko’s eyes. With that, it was hammered with two more intense blows. This time it was with 20% power.

With that blow from beneath, the Death Sea Serpent was blown into the air. Receiving an impact it had never experienced before, it was half unconscious. Aiming at the open mouth,

「Flame Lance!」
