Vol 10 Chapter 166 (2/2)
They all took their weapons, and gathered on the deck Sabres in their hands And auns as well They weren’t handguns, but two handed ones with barrels longer than a meter
The Fifth spoke
『They’re all equipped with knives on their ends?』
The Fourth just noticed it now
『So if you run out of bullets, it becouns aren’t bad?』
The Seventh shouted out in high spirits
『I know, right!? I know, right!? I’e the world!』
But the Third was a bit negative
『… If you fight with that, you know, the iron part of the gun? Won’t the area that sends out the bullets bend out of place?』
The Seventh gave an excuse
『… It’s quite delicate, so it’s possible it’ll becoht as rain after soht, even if you run out of bullets, is it not!?』
While listening to the voices of ers, and a treasure chest manifested on the deck I took out two sabres from it
And as I did that, I handed Eva the parasol
“It’s apparently precious, so don’t dirty it Well, I feel it’ll end in a jiffy”
After drawing the sabres, I left the scabbards with her as well
“I won’t But they clearly look like they knohat they’re doing Are we even necessary?”
I did think Eva was on the mark There, the Second’s Skill… All… detected the presence ofhostility towards, us, they jumped out onto the deck
Their forins
But coins, the color of their scales and skin was more ominous, and quite a few of them had scars here and there
Their movements had a sense of sharpness we didn’t witness in the Labyrinth
Vera held up her golden gun with one hand, and discharged it
Sins that had landed on the shi+p had its head blown off
The deck was splattered with an eerie greenish-blue blood, and with that as a signal, Sahuagins started leaping from the water’s surface one after the next with harpoons in their hands
I stood to protect Eva behind me One of them rolled across the deck, raised its body in front of me, and took a stance
But after I heard a gunshot, the Sahuagin was blown off to the side
When I looked in the opposite direction to its trajectory, I saw Vera expressionlessly pointing her gun
The Seventh’s spirits rose even higher
『She otten that far… what’s un with one hand!』
I was glad he was enjoying hi
“Please don’t hit us”
Vera-san shot another Sahuagin that approached her, opened the cylinder of her gun, and began swapping out bullets
The burnt-through shells fell to the floor, and I could hear a nuht metallic sounds Around, the sailors were in the unshots, and curses
After loading all her bullets, Vera-san spoke
“Then please don’t ”
It seee she could sense was vaster than the Second’s First Stage All, as Sahuagins began leaping out of the water she was staring out at
Even though the shi+p’s deck had quite an elevation, what juht, as I slashed fro at me with its harpoon, and cleanly bisected it
Taking out monsters one after another, Vera-san voiced her admiration
“You’re not fa That was quite a clean cut”
She said as she unloaded her gun on the next enein caused me to break into a cold sweat
Her dress wasn’t stained by a drop of blood But it looked to me as if it was dyed red with it
“They just keep on co There really are a lot”
She spoke fed-up, as she consecutively shot three shots at the water, and one of the Sahuagin that leapt out fell straight back down
The seaman on lookout cried out
“Big one co! The headless one’s come out!”
Vera waved her left hand to the side, and raised her voice
“Prepare the cannons! The enemy is a slow one! Take your time, and set your aim!”
When I looked at the water, I sahat appeared to be a turtle shell surfacing A few hundred tentacles were protruding fro the shi+p
“A Shell Jellyfish, is it? I heard they’re called things like headlesses, or one eyeds ”
I moved close to the rail, and Eva stood as well to look at the e as the shi+p itself
“If so like that attacks… Lyle, look down!”
Hearing that, I looked down at the hull A hatch on it opened, and froe cannon was pointed out But it wasn’t the sort of canon I knew of
“It’s overly long and narrow”
For the Sahuagin approaching me from behind, I chucked the Sabre ininto its head And the monster slowly fell dead on its back
When I turned my eyes back to the water, Vera-san issued out orders
“How are the preparations?”
“Ready any time!”
The sailor heard so out of the wall, and stuck up his thumb to Vera-san to inform her the preparations were ready
Vera-san grinned
“Don’t think you’ll be able to break our hull so easily… Fire!!”
The five cannons protruding out let off fire, and the shi+p shook greatly And Novem and Miranda burst onto the deck
“Lyle-sama!”
“Christ! If they hadn’t told us not to go out… wait, what’s that…”
Novee monster shell burst open, and sink
Looking around, the Sahuagins were beginning to flee And the battle was nearing its end
The canon’s boushi+ng out, thethat scene, Vera-san returned her revolver back to its holster
“That’s our fighting power How about it? You still think we need guards?”
To her provoking eyes, I ended up giving a wry smile
“You have a point But if you have that much power, I must wonder ere hired They must worry for you quite a bit”
Seeing they definitely didn’t need our help, I laughed in self derision But Vera-san stroked her hair a bit sorrowfully
“… That’s just an excuse He just wants people to think he’s doing what he can It’s always like that Tying me down to this shi+p The hell’s Goddess of fortune supposed to mean?”
As she looked up at the sky, her profile looked as if she were enduring so
… At the same time
(H-huh…? Why is my vision shaky… and my body suddenly feels heavy…)
I was unsteady on my feet, and Novem and Miranda rushed over to me
“Lyle-sama!”
“This isn’t happening I never thought it would…”
The abnormalities of my body caused me to break into a cold sweat
“… Why… at a time like this…”
From the Jewel, the Ancestors were…
『H he has』
『No, I’m sure you mean perfect』
『We have some time I do hope he recovers before we reach the stretch of ocean in question, but…』
『Well, whatever the case… as I thought, Lyle’s sure got it To go through a Groith this ti』
In my head
(It’s a lie This can’t be… someone tell me it’s a lie!!)
As I headed for a Growth, my insides filled with dread
