Vol 20 Chapter 7 (1/2)
ACT 7 Conqueror of the Sea
‘It appeared!’
Ark looked at the sea snakes with bright eyes The sea monsters had appeared! The armed fleet scattered around were forced into a position where they had to fight the sea monsters
“Master, it’s !”
Cha chwa, cha chwa!
The five sea snakes had startedtheir bodies when he heard Racard’s voice They opened theirdark bubbled inside
‘An attack!’
His instincts warned hishi+p When the Leviathans started ed into a coner The captains of the other shi+ps had fallen into a state of panic and contacted Wagner for orders But when Ark looked at Wagner’s face, it looked soe
“Waaahhhh……”
The sound continuously ener had collapsed on the deck of the flagshi+p and wasArk about how he cleaned up thousands of pirates and rescued the kingdom from a hopeless crisis? Of course, Ark kneas a pile of nonsense after talking to the captains of the other shi+ps The captain and crew froner had received the position of being in charge of the next generation battleshi+ps through his faround But no ner as the Admiral of the armed fleet shook with fear then the creould also panic
‘That fool!’
Curses rose in his throat Before the curses could e similar to an arrow shot from the Leviathan’s mouths
Syu syuk, syu syuk, syu syuk, syu syuk, syu syuk!
There was an intense explosion sound So like a black line had shot fronored When the black line hit, the outer wall of a battleshi+p was sh the hull that it touched It was to the extent that the steel which padded the hull was cut in half
“What on earth?”
The soldiers stared with shock Ark used Skill Penetration and the information rose in front of him
-Leviathan’s skill: Water Pressure Gun
The Leviathan draws in a huge a body, it is able to create a high pressure spray The enormous pressure turns the water into a sharp sword
‘Water Pressure Gun!’
Ark now figured out the identity of the Leviathan’s black line attack That line wasn’t an arrow or an explosive It was simple saltwater The problem was the enormous pressure that the Leviathan had placed on the saltwater When spraying water with thousands of tons of pressure on it, it was like a laser The high pressure of the water was enough to cut steel Anyway, the Leviathan’s Water Pressure Gun was no joke It was rare for any equipment in New World to have more than 500 durability Even the metal armour of warriors only had around 200~300 durability However, the Water Pressure Gun had a 100 cutting effect which decrease durability by 500 If either a user or NPC was hit by the Water Pressure Gun then they would have severed ars The shi+p was also the sae thanks to the hardiness of the steel plates but the Water Pressure Guns still cut the sails and other parts of the shi+p The sails of five battleshi+ps and dozens of sailors were severed
“What is this type of ridiculous attack…?”
But as the point of co about the monster?
-Grrrrr!
Then the Leviathans cried out and raised their body The bottoradually being pushed up In order to use Water Pressure Gun, they needed to pull a lot of water into their mouths The battleshi+ps that had been hit directly by the Water Pressure Gun were defenseless so another hit would destroy it
“Battleshi+p ine! Quickly use the power to escape!”
Ark shouted into the ears of the bat
“Did you hear? Deploy the ine!”
The captains of the shi+ps repeated the order to their sailors In fact, the captains and crew of the shi+ps didn’t like listening to Wagner Now Adner had fallen into a state of panic froner couldn’t perform his duties, the captain and crews of the shi+ps couldn’t do anything when they were being attacked When Ark gave an order, the captains of each shi+p instantly gave him the authority of 2nd commander The evidence was that they obeyed his order and used the hly flew out at the sah pressure jets of water crossed the ocean It tore through the ocean like a laser and rushed towards the battleshi+ps
“Quickly use the ine to avoid it!”
It was at that moment There was a mechanical sound as the mast was folded auto that looked like a long tube popped out on both sides of the hull At the sa sound and the battleshi+ps raced through the ocean like a speedboat
“Huk, what is this?”
The users on the deck stuht This was the eneration battleshi+ps When the ine was used, the battleshi+ps moved at a shi+p that couldn’t be compared to when there ind in the sails The speed was like riding a motorcycle on the ocean!
“The Water Pressure Guns are co! Battleshi+p starboard, all sailors prepare for the impact
Ark coe battleshi+p turned sharply, a large amount of water was sprayed Some of the sailors lost their balance and fell into the ocean Even with that evasive movement, the shi+ps couldn’t completely avoid the pursuit of the Water Pressure Guns The Leviathans could control the Water Pressure Guns by si their heads
Ka kwang!
The Water Pressure Gun skimmed past the stern of the shi+p At the same time, the part of the deck that had been hit fell off However, that wasn’t the end of the Water Pressure Gun’s attack The Leviathan that was attacking Ark’s shi+p once again turned its head and the Water Pressure Gun started heading towards the centre of the shi+p
“It’s the end if we get hit by that!”
Ark felt a sense of urgency Only a part of the stern had fallen so it didn’t really matter But the shi+p would be destroyed if the Water Pressure Gun hit the centre Of course, the exterior walls of the battleshi+p were padded with iron so it wouldn’t break in half However, the wooden deck would have no choice but to be cut in half Even the e
“But it isn’t possible to avoid the attack Then……!”
Ark clenched his teeth tightly and shouted
“Keepforward at full speed away from the Water Pressure Gun!”
“Huh? It is ai for the centre of the shi+p…”
“Does the captain have to explain the reason for all his commands?”
“Ah, no Full speed ahead!”
The ine let out a roar and increased its speed The Water Pressure Gun was approaching! Even if the Water Pressure Gun only passed through the deck for a few seconds, the ine would be severed When the Water Pressure Gun was halfway to the shi+p…Ark opened his bag and shouted
“Demonic Manifestations!”
After he used the skill, an informationappeared
-You have used De to extract the dey
“shi+eld shi+eld shi+eld shi+eld shi+eld!”
shi+elds soared out fro at Ark’s scream 5 shi+elds flew into the sky Black sparks flew froram in the sky Then the shi+elds exploded and a nia appeared on the battleshi+p
-Des (shi+eld, shi+eld, shi+eld, shi+eld, shi+eld)
The effect exercised by this combination is ‘Physical shi+eld’
[Physical shi+eld]: When Physical shi+eld is exercised, the centre of a 100 metre space will have its defense increased by 500 The defense shi+eld will have a durability of 1,000 The effect of the shi+eld lasts for 10 minutes or until the 1,000 durability is consumed However, the defense shi+eld doesn’t move It also isn’t possible to make the same effect overlap
It was the new skill he learnt after a seal of Eternal Soul was released Ark had learnt the secrets behind De back up the secret dungeon It was a new skill so he wanted to test it immediately He realised that Demonic Manifestations was different from the other skills learnt from Eternal Soul
……That was the simplest example of such a combination Sometimes the different coloves’ didn’t even give an effect The good point about Demonic Manifestations was that it had a wide effect The accessories offered auto special effect was applied to his allies Anyway, Physical shi+eld now made a transparent shi+eld around the battleshi+p
“Everybody prepare for impact!”
Ka ka ka!
At almost the same time, the Water Pressure Gun hit the centre of the shi+p To be exact, it hit the surface of the transparent shi+eld There was a huge impact and the shi+eld had its durability drained
-The durability of the ‘Physical shi+eld’ fell to 900
-The durability of the ‘Physical shi+eld’ fell to 800……
The durability of the Physical shi+eld fell to 500 in seconds If this continues the Water Pressure Gun will pierce through and hit the shi+p But because Ark had already ordered for the shi+p to et out of range of the attack
‘Even the Physical shi+eld won’t be able to hold up for 30 seconds……’
It really was enor the Leviathan’s attacks twice, the attacks stopped With the amount of water the Leviathan can hold, the Water Pressure Gun could only be used 2~3 tih to cause the arrazed the shi+ps thanks to the s and sterns split apart while some players had fallen into the ocean The ared with just one blow
‘But there is a way to defeat them!’
Ark looked at the Leviathans floating on the ocean The Leviathan’s attacks caused immense havoc However Ark had discovered a weakness in the Leviathan’s attack Once the Leviathans’ Water Pressure Gun was used, it took a long time to inhale the required amount of water And when the Water Pressure Gun was used, it couldn’t be stopped until the water ran out
‘I don’t knohy but the Leviathans haven’t moved from the spot where they first appeared If the Leviathans had moved then the battleshi+ps would be co it immobile’
They couldn’t et to attack
‘In addition, the Water Pressure Gun follows the htly then the Water Pressure Gun can chase after the battleshi+p that has moved dozens of metres It is impossible for the speed of the battleshi+ps to escape froun It is an attack that is 100 impossible to escape Then……
“Battleshi+ps use your ines to stabilize the hull!”
“What? What does that mean?”
The captains of the battleshi+ps asked Ark in an amazed voice They had seen the incredibly power of the Water Pressure Gun so all they wanted to do was run away If they didn’t then wouldn’t the next attack by the Water Pressure Gun sh the bat phone
“If we use the ine then the hull won’t shake and we can directly counterattack”
“Of course But if we can’t avoid the attack then hoe counterattack……?”
“This plan will allow us to counterattack”
Ark smiled and explained the way he devised to defeat the Leviathans The Leviathans inflated their bodies to suck in seawater and condense it to a high pressure
“This is the only way to stop their onslaught Believe in me and follow my commands”
“……Understood There is no other way since the Admiral is currently soulless”
“All battleshi+ps, use the ine to stabilize the hull!”
“Prepare the cannons for precise shooting!”
The ar to Ark’s co the water and opened their mouths
“Now Shoot precisely!”
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
At the sa Ark’s order It was the basic ‘Salvo’ of an ordinary naval battle The attacks would be concentrated on one opponent in order to decrease the enee So the basic tactics was to concentrate all attacks on point and use the maximum amount of attacks in a short tiht battleshi+ps attacked all five Leviathans Furthermore, not all the cannons were mobilized It was separated into two or three attacks at a time The reason why……
-Kiaaaack!
-Kueeeeeh!
The shells crossed the space and hit the Leviathans’ heads Thus the attack from the Water Pressure Guns flew into the sky The shot flew a few kilo back to the sea with all its power lost That’s right It was the reason why Ark chose this method The Water Pressure Gun was an attack while flew like a laser form the et Instead of running away, couldn’t he use this uns?
‘If we keep this up for 2~3that time!’
That was Ark’s thought It didn’tbody stretched over the sea
It was easy for dozens of shells to hit such a large target If they hit the target then it was enough to change the direction of the Leviathans’ jaw So there was no worry about the Water Pressure Gun hitting the battleshi+ps! Ark used the ines to stabilize the hull and the cannons for a precise bombardment
“It is a success Their attacks have been blocked!”
Ark’s operation was a great success The battleshi+ps continuously attacked the Leviathans using 2~3 shots at a time It was only 2~3 attacks but the health of the Leviathans decreased little by little
“The battle is in progress and it is only a matter of time until we beat them But……”
Ark looked at the Leviathan and tilted his head to one side Ark was certain that this area here Gold Dreaesaid that the Leviathan was the boss monster of this area so there couldn’t be another one But he couldn’t iine that the Leviathans were the ones that sed Gold Dreae but it was only 20 metres in diameter There was no way they could s Gold Dream Ark’s question was soon settled within a few minutes
“Keep on attacking!”
“Continue hitting those guys!”
“There’s no time for a break Reload as quickly as possible after the artillery is launched!”
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
-Kuaaaa!
The cannons continually fired with no breaks and one Leviathan shrieked before shrinking
“We did it!”
“We defeated a sea monster!”
“Okay, concentrate the attacks on the other four!”
The morale of the sailors increased even ain concentrated the precision shooting on the re Leviathans
“Hahaha! The huge opponent is nolike I commanded Victory will be ours!”
Wagner’s laughter flowed from the bat on Ark’s shoulder The Admiral who had fallen into a panic when the Leviathans first appeared noed his face when the situation seemed to improve He was a shameless person The creere stunned but fortunately they concentrated on firing the cannons……a Leviathan had just been knocked down
“Don’t worry about it and continue to attack!”
“We can’t be careless! Don’t give them any room!”
The captains of the battleshi+ps ignored Wagner and just kept attacking It continued for another 10 minutes Under the continuous bombardment, another two Leviathans sank under the water Four of them had fallen and now there was only one left
“Now, it’s almost finished Concentrate all the attacks!”
Kwaaaaaaah-!
Then the water underneath the Leviathan started to beco Then the sea suddenly divided and a huge sleeping form could be seen
“Huk! What the, that is?”
“Wait? That…that huge sea snake……”
“Such a thing! It isn’t five sea snakes……”
The sailors who had been preparing for the bombardment suddenly opened their mouths absent-e ea fish!+ Ark finally answered his question after seeing the huge fish Ark and all the sailors had thought there were five Leviathans They were mistaken This was the reason why the Leviathans didn’t move at all It was because the sea snakes were attached to the giant fish underneath No, to be exact the sea snakes were attached to the Leviathan but seemed to be the Leviathan’s tentacles The Leviathan’s true identity was a giant fish several kilo It had been impossible to discover in the black ocean In the end, the attacks of the are to the Leviathan
“Fish!+ That is the fish I tried to eat!”
Racard shouted as he pointed to a part of the Leviathan’s body The Leviathan had sos were dangling from the hair There was the fish that Racard had discovered, a small box, the corpse of a lance Lure…yes! The Leviathans used the lures on its forehead to draw in food to eat And a huge ht underneath the lures Itseverybody in
“I-it is trying to s the battleshi+p!”
“Deploy the ine!”
Screa dragged But the Leviathan didn’t seehed with relief when they realized this but they were consuain in one second
“Hik, what is that?”
“Souy’s mouth?”
“Huck! It’s different from the Water Pressure Gun!”
“M-!”
A sailor said in a tre voice as he checked it with the telescope After a while, the other sailors were able to confir from the mouth
-Kuruk, kuruk, kuruk!
