Vol 20 Chapter 8 (1/2)
ACT 8 Eat until you throw up!
[TL Notes] I’ve e to a previous chapter So Gold Dreae shi+p with 6 sails instead of six boats
I also wanted to clarify so as I felt it wasn’t clearly explained Sid ed by the Leviathan along with Gold Dream so that’s why he had to contact Ark in reality instead of inside the game
——————————————————————————————————————
“Puak!”
Ark spat out some seawater Ark was currently inside the Leviathan
“Being inside here feels dirty”
Ark muttered as he looked around with an uncoe sea creature, Gallic, before It wasn’t a good feeling but Leviathan felt even us had reddish black walls while the absurdly thick blood vessels had a black liquid like waste water flowing through it But the thing that dampened Ark’s mood the most was the dirty smell It was difficult to express in words but it smelt like a food rubbish bin in the middle of suhts There were constant booms and the space vibrated It was the impact from Gallic and the merpeoples’ attacks The intervals between the vibrations became shorter as the battle became more intense It was troublesome for Ark because if Leviathan died then it would be difficult to find Gold Dream
“daht to the stomach……”
Ark had entered the oesophagus along with a lot of seawater So Ark had thought he would be swept straight to the sto with the seawater But Ark had beco the way
“I’ve still gone quite far riding the seawater There’s only a bit left until the stomach”
Ark stepped out of the mud puddle continued No, he was about to dive Just as he stepped out of the mud puddle, the space started to shake Then the blood vessels entangled like a spider web pulsed and so floated in the black blood It was abody, the Parasite After discovering Ark, the Parasite tore through the blood vessel with its teeth and popped out It wasn’t just one 10 Parasites had popped out of the blood vessel!
“I didn’t expect to find them here”
Ark hadn’t expected this situation when he entered Leviathan
“Summon Demon, Razak Summon Demon, Racard!”
His pets appeared on either side of Ark after he called theht, Razak on his left and Radun wrapped around his waist
‘Hasn’t it been a while?’
Ark s his pets wasn’t a new pheno users and NPCs, so it hadn’t really felt like he had been fighting with his petsHe only sent Razak to support the assault troops while Racard was used as a scout Racard and Razak also held sihts
“Hmm, doesn’t this remind you of the old days?”
Clack clack clack, clack clack clack clack!
Razak laughed and nodded his head like he also agreed
“Then shall we do this after such a long time? A-1 plan!”
Ark drew his sword and shouted Racard and Razak split to the left and right and rushed at the Parasites The A-1 plan was to attack the enemy from the front and sides! Unlike the past, his pets’ abilities to carry out the strategy had greatly improved Racard had recently raised his stats to level 380 while Razak had also reached level 350 After sowith Ark, they weren’t inferior to other users Ark was the saeon, Ark was now level 426 He had been so busy coht properly So he felt lively at the long awaited chance to wield his sword Besides, the 50 dark attribute bonus was also applied! Even if there was a 10 penalty from the demonic influence of the Leviathan, it didn’t really matter
“Dark Dance, Dark Blade!”
Pepepepeng, pepepepeng!
Arkhis sword He didn’t have to worry with his summons there
-Chiiiik!
The Parasites showed their poisonous fangs and rushed towards him
Clack clack? Clack clack clack clack! Ttang kang!
Razak had swung his shi+eld and blocked the Parasite before it attacked Ark Meanwhile Racard flew over their heads and cursed, luring three or four Parasites Ark attacked, Razak defended and Racard took care of crowd control This was Ark’s true battle style Then Radun suddenly dropped down froround, it became red hot as he crawled towards the Parasites Then flames appeared around the Parasites and drained their health It was the Fire Aura skill Radun received after digesting 50 of the Burning Heart of the Fire Draconian The Parasites ere in a critical condition died after being hit by Fire Aura Radun’s eyes sparkled as he looked at Ark after taking care of the ParasitesHis look see Ark if he was useful
“Yes, you were excellent As expected of out mascot Radun!”
Ssak ssak ssak, ssak ssak ssak ssak!
Radun waved his body with pleasure at Ark’s words With the help of his sued to take care of the 10 Parasites within 3of the Parasites’ attacks After he finished taking care of the original Parasites that appeared, dozens of theain popped out of the blood vessel When he took care of those ones, more Parasites appeared In addition, the Parasites inside Leviathan had special skills which the ones outside didn’t have When they fell into a critical condition, they could bite the wall or the ground to recover As the naave them even a bit of space then they would recover and counterattack
‘A level 300 monster isn’t really a problem But nofrom the blood vessels I have to stop them before Leviathan dies’
Yes, the reason Ark entered Leviathan was to reclaim Gold Dream He had approximately 25 minutes to rescue Gold Dream 3 minutes had already passed so he had approximately 22 minutes left
‘I don’t have time to play around’
“Radun, return Razak, Racard, let’s breakthrough straight to the stomach!”
Ark opened his bag and shouted
“Demonic Manifestations Spear, spear, spear, mace, mace!”
When he used De It then formed the shape of a mace The mace then broke apart and was absorbed inside Ark and his summons
-Des (Spear, spear, spear, mace and mace)
The effect exercised by this coe=””>
Power Charge: The users will gain the effect of ‘Power Charge’ for 10 e is in effect, assault speed will increase by 50 and there is a chance of pushi+ng the opponent back 5 metres However, this effect only applies to the enemy in front
It was the Power Charge that he discovered accidentally! 50 increase in assault speed and a chance to push enemies back by 5 metres seemed simple but it could wreck tre the four days he took clieon from the 60th floor
“Let’s go!”
When Ark went rushi+ng towards the sto his sword and three or four Parasites were caught in an explosion and blown back It was the same with Racard and Razak The moment they used shi+eld Stroke or Dark Dash, the Parasites were bloay It was no use no matter how many of them were ca of the sould just blow thee had a side effect
-Chiiiik!
-Chiiiik!
Dozens of Parasites were blown back every ti forith Power Charge, so the Parasites behind hiet back up Thus there were 150 Parasites chasing behind him In addition, this place was inside Leviathan’s so there was no place to escape Of course, Ark’s current level was 426 With the dark attribute bonus, he reached level 639 That was enough when fighting 150 level 300thoseIt was too stressful for Ark who only had a time limit of 20 minutes left
“But……”
After a short time he entered the vicinity of the stomach Ark confirmed that no more Parasites appeared in front of him so he turned around Meanwhile the nu of 200 Parasites really caused goose bumps to rise
“Now it’s your turn Suura!”
Ark lifted his sword and yelled One of the four Hearthstones on the sword e from a laed to a black dog It was the suura! In fact, a condition was required in order to suura in a place filled with dey Leviathan was a demonic monster so naturally its interior was filled with abundant dey
-Ooooooh!
Magura who had escaped froura’s wide area skill ‘Howling!’ The Parasites that were approaching were bloay
“Now, shall I leave?”
In the ura as confined to the Hearthstone had no memory When he was suardless if it was Ark or a monster Therefore Ark quickly ran away
‘Anyway, the Parasite was only level 300 so I can’t get experience or loot even if they die It is better to leave theura’
Therefore Ark escaped the parasites and rushed towards the sto around hih to kill all of theura also continuously used Taunt thanks to his endless rage So the Parasites naturally gathered around Magura and a fierce battle began
-Kuaaaang!
Magura roared and attacked the Parasites Magura was level 300 The Parasites were also level 300 But Magura was a level 300 elite ura wasn’t pushed at all by the 200 Parasites Well, Ark had already escaped so he didn’t care whether Magura or the Parasites won……
Anyway, Ark left the Parasites to Magura and ran through the oesophagus How much time passed?
“Gold dream!”
Ark stopped round lake On the outskirts of the lake was the shi+p Gold Dream
“……damn, that stupid Leviathan!”
Anger welled up at the sight of Gold Dreaain, this place was Leviathan’s storound lake was probably astric juices Gold Dreaastric juices for three days in real tiic coating The sails were full of small holes while the paint of the
‘I guess I have to pay for repairs’
Ark sighed and mumbled It was a new merchant shi+p and he already had to pay for repairs……well, it was 100 ti a new boat
‘By the way, those boats?’
Ark looked at the other boats on the underground lake Gold Dream wasn’t the only shi+p inside Leviathan There were an additional five shi+ps scattered around It was i to Midus, the ht It was transportation fleet that had disappeared near this area The transportation fleet had also been sed by Leviathan
‘Aha, I see Is this why Leviathan didn’t s the armed fleet when it appeared?’
Ark struck his pal and muttered He finally understood why Leviathan didn’t appear when the armed fleet showed up And also the reason why it didn’t s the battleshi+ps after it appeared It was because of Gold Dream and the transportation fleet on the lake Leviathan hadn’t digested the six shi+ps yet so it didn’t want to s any more
‘Anyway, let’s go look at Gold Dream for the moment’
In addition to the shi+ps, wine kegs and sround lake Ark stepped on the planks and kegs and cli on the deck of a ghost shi+p The deck was corroded here and there while the sails and ropes were decaying He also couldn’t find any of the NPCs he ee Gold Dream All he found was splatters of blood left on the deck Perhaps they were attacked by the Parasites after being sed He didn’t see the sailors on the otherhappened to them
‘How on earth did Sid survive in this place?’
Ark felt doubtful after seeing the terrible sight But the question was easily solved
“Sid!”
Ark found Sid after entering the captain’s roo underneath the table moved It was Sid But Ark flinched as he moved closer and confirmed Sid’s appearance Sid looked like someone who had encountered disaster in the Hinize hihtly The scroll was the reason why Sid could live
“[Safe Travel] scroll……”
That’s right Sid was able to survive in a place like that because of the scrolls The [Safe Travel] scroll meant that monsters couldn’t attack for 2 hours When the Parasites attacked, Sid quickly used the [Safe Travel] scroll and continued to renew it every two hoursBut now he only had three scrolls re He was afraid that the Parasites would catch hi
“Hey, Sid! Wake up!”
Ark tapped him and Sid opened his eyes with a dim expression
“Ah, Ark-nim!”
Sid looked around stupidly for a while before shouting He then hurriedly looked around and said
“Huk! You’ve come Have we already exited? Is this the outside?”
But then he belatedly confirmed that he was still in the stomach and Sid’s face stiffened He weakly sat down and started shedding tears
“Kuak, I made a mistake We’re screwed!”
“What are you going on about?”
“What aet sed by the seafor 3 horrible days for Ark-nim to rescue me, and now Ark-nim has been eaten as well……ohh, it’s over I’ll be eaten by those worms!”
“What nonsense are you talking? Why e be eaten by monsters?”
Sid lifted a tearful face at Ark’s words
“We’ll either be digested or eaten by the monsters”
“This is different I came in on my own”
“Came in on your own?”
“Yes, so that I can rescue Gold Dream”
“Rescue Gold Dreaet out of here?”
“Of course Do you think I came in here to become excrement?”
“H-how?”
“That……”
Ark smiled and explained the h theArk had an unco the moment he saw the shi+ps
‘What the? …This feeling? I feel like I’ve forgotten so very important……’
Ark frowned and reht
‘I see! That’s what I forgot!’
“Wait here a moment!”
“Ah, Ark-nim!”
Sid freaked out as Ark jumped off Gold Dream and headed towards the other shi+ps
‘According to the inforuild, the shi+ps that disappeared in these waters are carrying imports towards Bristania……’
Ark jue smile on his face Spices and silk, porcelain objects etc…it was a huge ahed on Ark’s mind
‘This is equivalent to 15,000 gold!’
And there were 5 shi+ps carrying such goods That was equivalent to 75,000 gold It was truly a treasure Before entering Leviathan, Ark had already been equipped with a number of plans to rescue Gold Dream But he didn’t know that the merchant’s fleet was associated with Leviathan Of course, Ark’s plan wouldn’t fail if the merchant shi+ps were there There was another reason why he felt unco the shi+ps No, to be exact it was the 75,000 gold worth of goods
‘If my plan succeeds then I can also rescue the merchant shi+ps from Leviathan’
Therefore Ark would’ve recovered 75,000 gold worth of assets for the uild But there would be no profit for Ark if he did that Of course, if he returned the uild would soar and the coold Even if he received an additional 200 as the captain, it would only be 45 gold
‘I found 75,000 gold and can only receive 45 gold?’
What on earth? Wasn’t it a very unpleasant feeling? Of course, Ark never expected to find the ht rettable if he had to politely return the goods to the e amount
‘Moreover, there are no surviving sailors’
Since Ark found the transportation fleet, he could lay claiood were taken away by pirates and the pirate’s shi+p recked at sea, the person who discovered or salvaged the shi+p would claim ownershi+p of it It was sioods from the lawless port But now the situation was different The armed fleet had been dispatched to recover the transportation fleet Ark was also a member of that armed fleet So Ark was currently contracted to return the recovered assets to the uild Even if Ark found the transportation fleet, the ownershi+p would autouild He couldn’t think of a way to eoods
“In the end, do I have to let go of that huge amount?”
Ark clicked his tongue and retful expression All of a sudden he felt a flash of lightning in his head
“Wait? Wouldn’t the transportation fleet be prepared for pirates? Then perhaps……?”
Ark started to search the shi+ps for so A satisfied s for
“Huhuhu, the heavens are truly on my side”
——————————————————————————————————————
“Attack its flank!”
“Waaaaahhhhh!”
While Ark was progression with his plan, the merpeople, Gallic and the two battleshi+ps had combined forces to attack Leviathan While Gallic blocked the Leviathan’s movements, the merpeople combined to take care of the Parasites Meanwhile, the two battleshi+ps kept a sufficient distance and supported theainst the combined forces Blood streamed from its countless wounds as the Leviathan only had 4 health left If the battle progressed like this then it would continue for only a few more minutes
“But Ark-nim……?”
The Mermaid Queen murmured with a worried expression Ark hadn’t returned from inside the Leviathan yet If Leviathan died like this then Ark was bound to be in danger Ark was certain to be soans If Leviathan died then they would shrivel up Ark would be pushed by the internal organs shrinking and die But they also couldn’t slon their attacks until Ark returned If Leviathan ed to run away then the situation would beco that when so interrupted
-Kuaaaah! Kua…Kuaaak!
The Leviathan suddenly flinched Then it suddenly gave a weird shriek After a short tihed and suddenly opened its mouth And……
Chwaaaaaah, kwarururuk!
A huge ae flowed out of the Leviathan’s mouth Leviathan’s vomit covered several kilometres of the sea
“T-this damn evil bastard…”
