Chapter 59 - Lunatic Wave 5 (2/2)

Maetel was sulking in a major way as she stamped her feet.At that moment, humans were climbing ladders to climb up the 1st tier barrier wall.The number of humans on top of the wall was steadily growing.These were foreign nobles, merchants and knights.They had just finished lamenting the fact that their boats had sunk to the bottom of the sea.Afterwards, they had had come to the barrier wall with their fighting equipments.

Even if they were foreigners, they couldn’t ignore the danger being face by Frate!

“I’ll help in the defense, magician-nim!”

“Magician, thanks to you this city...no, this country was saved.From now on, I will help you with everything I got!”

“······could you point out which son of a….Could you point out which monster sunk our ships?”

Artpe put on a suitable business smile as he assigned them to various parts of the wall.

Maetel finally came to a big decision as she raised her head.

“I understand now..”

“You should go there….I told you I don’t know which one did it.Salvage?You should ask your own country about that….Huh?What did you just say, Maetel?”

“It’s been my dream of mine to enter into the ocean!”

She had suddenly made an offbeat announcement,Artpe was going to laugh it off.However, Maetel didn’t give him the chance to reply to her words.She took couple short breaths before jumping off the barrier wall.

“Ee-yahhhhhhhhhhhhhp!”

She didn’t jump towards the inner part of the wall.She jumped outwards where it was teeming with hundreds of thousands of monsters!She jumped towards the location crowded by an overwhelming number of monsters.

“Oooh-ahhhhhhhh, Maetel!”

“Huhk!The berserker jumped into the ocean!”

“As expected of the berserker…!I’m sure of it.She is trying to just end her life through this fight!”

“I’m pretty sure she lost to the priestess in the quarrel for the magician's love.”

Crazy nonsense were being spouted by the people around him.Artpe wondered if he should drop them all into the ocean, but he decided it wasn’t time to do that.

“Maetel, you idiot!Come back up here right now!If you had an artifact that allowed you to walk on water, you might…….”

“Hoo-ahhhhhhhp!”

As always, Maetel extinguished Artpe’s worries.When she was about to hit the surface of the water, she took a violent swing with her long sword.Three mermen were cut open, and she used the recoil of the attack to jump once again into the air!

“Eh-eet, hahp!”

[Koo-ahk!]

[Kyahhhhhhk!]

It would have been disappointing if it had ended with a single attack.However, Maetel once again swung her sword right before she fell in a different location.This times she cut open four monsters.

She kept repeating it again, again and again!

“Uh······.”

He had been about to use his Mana String to fish her out, but Artpe froze halfway in an awkward position.She said it had been her dream to enter into the ocean, yet there wasn’t a single drop of water on Maetel’s body.It was as if she was playing on dry ground.She was hopping across the water!

“That is······ Uh…….”

“Customer, what am I supposed to say when you look at me as if to say ‘how is that possible?’.......”

“Unni is amazing······.”

The fact that she was able to move around lightly without feeling the weight of her armor was the norm for her.

However, she currently had to take into account of the location of the monsters, their resistance to her attacks, the power of her swings, the recoil of her attacks hitting the surface of the water……The fact that she was able to calculate all of that factors before moving…..

“······you want to try that, Alfred?”

“I'm sorry, lord.I’ll die if I try that.”

Artpe had wondered if other knights had Skills that would allow them to jump into the ocean.Fortunately, no swordsman or warrior was able to do so.Everyone was absentmindedly watching Maetel go ham on top of the ocean.

“Yes, it is as expected.She’s the one that is strange.It is only her.”

“This scene is worthy of being recorded in the history books.However, it does look unsightly!”

It really would have been a interesting sight if around 100 knights jumped into the ocean by following Maetel’s example.He was a bit disappointed that he wouldn’t be able to see it, but he tamped down on such thoughts.

At that moment, he saw an enormous shadow appear in the distant ocean.

“Mmmm······.”

He felt an atmosphere that could only be felt when the final boss came out.Artpe hoped it wasn’t the case, but when the enormous shadow entered into the range of his Read All Creation ability, his hope was dashed into pieces.

[Kraken]

[Level : 267]

“My goodness.This is nuts.”

“What’s wrong, customer?If we can hold out like this for several days, everything will be fine…..”

Artpe let out a bright laughter as he answered Mycenae’s question.

“The Kraken has surfaced.”

“······customer, you are really good at making a joke.”

If she really thought he was joking, she wouldn't have put away her ballista.She was getting ready to run away.If it was Artpe’s words, Mycenae always trusted it to be true before asking any questions.It was a somewhat praiseworthy and cute.

“Where are you going?”

“Let me go!”

However, that was a separate issue.He wouldn’t let her run away.Mycenae had quickly packed her items.However, he firmly gripped her should when she turned away.

“Mycenae.Since, we’ve come this far together, let us meet our end together.”

“You only say my name in an attentive manner in situations like this!Let me go!I have to live!”

“If you run away to the city, I’m sure there are Demons waiting for you.”

“Ooh-ahhhhhhh!Customer, you are bad! You are a bad guy!”

Mycenae let out a cry.In the next moment, it was as if the monster was responding to her.A enormous tentacle appeared in the distant ocean.

The boss wave had begun.
