Chapter 280 - The Might Of The Argo (II) (2/2)
”Yeah, I have to deal these f*ckers out by myself. I will just holler if I mess up so be on standby.”
Holia nodded and pull out her spyglass while Tora approached the rear of the deck and stood there, looking in the distance. His hand is on his tobacco. And just like what the crew said, two Wing Worms appeared on sight, flying fast.
”Ah, damn, these f*ckers are indeed coming so fast to us, huh.”
He throws the tobacco on the chasm below the ship and stare at the incoming monster.
”Ready the harpoon cannons guys, we might be able to get a good haul today after this,” Holia ordered while she continue to spectate the situation using her spyglass.
The crew made their move and prepared with synchronization. As for Tora, he sighed before he grip the hilt of his katana. The Wing Worms appeared before the ship and like a sandworm, their mouths are a bottomless hole. However, Tora did not flinch and without a sound, the two Wing Worms that are flying towards the Argo were split in half. It was cleanly cut in half that the Wing Worms did not even release blood after being cut through into two parts.
”FIRE!”
Four Harpoon Cannons were fired and the parts of the Wing Worm that Tora cut were pierced by the Harpoons without any kind of difficulty, showing their expertise in the job which seems to be their everyday life.
”As expected of Tora, you seemed to be improving day by day!” Holia said.
”Tch, its not that amazing, any ronin and samurai can do that without much problem,” Tora said as he sat down on where he stood with a bored look on his face.
”Captain, how are we going to bring these ”lures”? Are we just going to let them hang or should we throw them out if there is already a target?”
”Let it hang, only a few creatures would prey on the Wing Worms anyway so let it be hanging until something bites.”
The crew then stabilize the harpoon cannons so that the wire that attached the Harpoon and the Cannon is not going to break. Holia is about to go back to where she was when she noticed me watching the scene unfold.
”Oh? I didn't notice someone was watching. There aren't many people who watches what we are doing nowadays.”
”A passenger? That is indeed rare, most passengers would be staying up above the ”Blimp” rather than expose themselves on the threat. I didn't know someone would be curious on what the main deck's situation is,” Tora pulls out another tobacco and just like the first one, he light it up using his finger's flames like some lighter.
”What brings you here, young man? It's very unusual for passengers to be here especially with the recreation area meant to be a place where the passengers can pass their time while they are heading to their destinations,” Holia asked as she approached.
”I am just looking around the Argo, touring on the various areas of the famous ship. It was just a coincidence I was here after you guys hunted two Wing Worms.”
”Ho? No wonder you are different from the other people, you are one of those ”Adventurers” that I have been hearing about who are said to be blessed by Titania herself. You are first ”Adventurer” to have ever managed to get a ride on the Argo. So you should be proud of that and brag it on your friends!” Holia laughed while tapping my shoulder.
”Is that how it is? Well, that didn't matter to me. You have seen our ways of reducing the threat. Since you are riding with us, might as well introduce ourselves. I am Tora Worth, the captain of the ship.. Thank you for riding with us on the Argo.”
