Vol 10 Chapter 170 (1/2)
God of the Seas
… Novem saw Lyle sed up by Tressy’s mouth
She didn’t find it anything to grieve over He had jumped in of his own accord, with Monica’s cannon in hand, after all And after Tressy closed its e body bent back, and its head pointed up at the heavens
The area from its neck down to its stomach suddenly expanded, and its mouth reeled open
From inside, with the cannon in his left hand… and Vera held in his left, Lyle was spit out
“Lyle-sama!”
She saw the figure of the buy using a body strengthening Skill… what’s e of the Walt House Founder’s Skill
From Lyle’s Connection Skill, the infor entered her head
Just how had Lyle revived that lost Skill… Novem did question it, but at the moment, the enemy before her eyes was in the way
She changed the shape of the staff in her hands, forins around her
“Step back I won’t let you do as you like any longer”
A faint light in her violet eyes, Novem muttered
“Now burn”
It wasn’t an incantation of any kind With the force behind her siic, and caused flains around her were lit with that pale-blue blaze, and they began to burn away
While the rain and sea spray wouldn’t put that fire out, it didn’t even singe the deck
Once she had secured a safe place for Lyle to land, Novem turned her eyes to Tressy It had stopped its attacks, slowly falling back into the water, and raising a splash
But it hadn’t been defeated yet
“Not enough yet”
She gripped her staff, and got in a stance to cast ic when Lyle landed on the deck
He tossed the cannon aside, and the water splashi+ng onto its barrel let off a white steam
Carefully lowering Vera onto the deck, Lyle put his hands to his ears
“I had forgot to put them on, but they sure came in handy”
Blowing away the Sahuagins in her path, Monica approached him
“My thoughts exactly How useless a chicken h that part of you is cute as well”
As Lyle pulled a sabre…
“Call it cool!”
… He bisected an approaching monster
At thather way, she was being carried under May’s ar closer, and fired off lightning to char them black
『How is forgetting to wear earplugs supposed to be cool… just do whatever you want I don’t care anymore』
She let her body hang li her Demon Eyes to take in Tressy, and the flow of Mana around it
While thinking over how she was a large contribution this ti again
It had soed than its appearance Looking at Lyle, it let out a roar, but the intensity of its voice aning
Fro
“Milaaaadddyyy!!”
Vera slowly stood, as she spoke
“Seriously, just steer the shi+p already! If we sink here, there’s no point at all!”
Seeing a strong will in the girl’s eyes, to show she had yet to give in, Novem nodded in satisfaction
Lyle pointed his sabre at Tressy
“Port cannons, all at once!”
Reacting to his voice, the cannons on the shi+p’s left blew fire As they hit Tressy’s body head-on, and perhaps its resistance had become weak, as the monster spat up blood as they pounded into its surface
Seeing that, Lyle…
“It’s still too hard, I see…”
Lyle tossed the sabres in both his hands to take out two Sahuagins, before reaching his hand towards the Jewel
“You’ve toughed it out splendidly As a reward… I’ll show you my trump card”
Saying that, Lyle Clenched the Jewel, and pulled it down as if to snap the chain, causing the giant silver sword Novem had seen before to appear in his hands
The shape of the sas truly barbaric But while it was a crude weapon to cut enemies down, perhaps because it had been formed from the Jewel’s silver craftsmanshi+p, it was adorned with brautiful ornaments of its own
Nove in the wind rose to block her vision, so she undid it with one hand
And…
“Basil-sama’s form… It’s not just a resemblance”
The father of the Provincial noble Walt House of her memories Noveure from Lyle
The shape of his sas reminiscent, and she felt it wasn’t just a si his ancestor’s blood
“As I thought…”
Tressy wrung out the last of its power to attack the shi+p Rather than that, it tried to ram its head onto Lyle, as on the deck of the shi+p
With its body hit against it, the boat’s reat lurch, it inclined to a level where it was i
Within that, Monica and Novem were the only ones toLyle
“This one’s really theone Does it take after its wielder? The ic it sucks up fro periods of time And rejoice… the current me… the me who’s experienced a Growth can use it better now, than ever before!”
Lyle dashed up the tilting deck, running right at Tressy’s head as if to challenge it head-on
The silver sword let off a pale glow, leaving a faint tail of light behind him
Tressy opened its large ht ahead, and rushed into that mouth
And this tiht was traced across Tressy’s body A few ed, and around the partition of neck and body… There the heads had once branched off, its neck was cleanly severed, and Lyle jumped out
The blade-like spikes of Tressy’s crown pierced into the deck as it fell off, and the separated body portion slowly drew a line of blood down the shi+p’s side as it slipped down into the water
But by the weight of theinto the deck, even as it corrected itself, the shi+p began to lurch the other direction
“At this rate, we’ll capsize I must freeze the…”
Freeze the water surface
It was at the moment
The water froze over before Nove supported up, the Boat came to a stop She didn’t think the enemy was still alive, but Novem moved to look at the frozen sea
Tressy’s severed head on the deck opened its eyes wide as it watched Novem pass by
Novem muttered a soft, ‘you can rest now,’ as she passed, and Tressy slowly began to close its eyes
Gather at the side to look at the ice, Vera and the sailors And everyone who’d co their eyes that way
Holding up Shannon, May looked atop the ice
“Whales… this late in the game”
Whales of large build, and s Around the ice, they were assereat numbers
Noveest white whale a them
“There’s even a white whale”
The white whale approached the ice, and took on hu, with only the important parts covered
In one hand, a golden spear, and a tiara on her head The woman of massive build stood on the ice, and looked up at the boat
With eyes the same sea-blue as her hair, she looked at Tressy
“When we finally gathered to take care of you, you’ve already fallen by human hands… no, there’s a quilin there too”
The womanly divine beast first looked at Tressy’s head stuck in the deck, then at May, and finally at the other heads peeking out of the shi+p
And once she looked at Novem, she stopped
“… I see So it’s not that you ventured here, but that you were called No, perhaps they did not have such intentions… hmm…”
Her eyes then went to Vera There, the girl burst out laughing
“Ahahaha, that’s just perfect But it’s all beat up, is it not? I’ll make it so it doesn’t sink for a while And send down a representative, won’t you?”
On those words, Novem turned around
Looking over Tressy’s head, Lyle and Monica…
“Representative… that would be me!”
“I do love that overconfidence, but thinking normally, that should be Vera Trēs-sama Still, just how much do you think this will sell for?”
“… That can’t be! Could it be they oing to let soo complain”
Ju down from that disorderly deck, Lyle landed on the ice
But…
“Ah, Lyle-sama…”
Novem extended her hand, and Vera held her left hand to her face
“He slipped”
As Lyle round, the divine beast looked over him with a blank expression…
–

–
“Hahaha, I never thought you’d co human”
“I know right? I don’t mind if you fall for me”
“I’ll have to decline I’m still quite faithful to ed to defeat that one Let me hear your name”
Saying that, the woolden spear over her shoulder, and lent a hand to help me up
I do think I’veinto an art form
From within the Jewel, the Fifth was…
『You, why do you have to slip up at a place like… no, it wasthe time!』
He sounded delighted
I gripped the wo out both my arms
“Lyle Walt… the man who took down the one called the God of the Seas If you had come but a moment sooner, I’m sure you’d have fallen for me”
There the woman tilted her head
“What? That’s how it’s gotten to be called? One or two hundred years ago, it was treated as a normal monster… and my husband was a human of three hundred years passed You had yet to be born, child… but Walt, was it? I had heard there was a hero of the land ent by that name”
Reacting to those words, the Third in the Jewel
『Lyle, confirm it… Who that Walt is supposed to be』
Divine beasts were long lived And it’s quite often their memories are hazy From the start, they didn’t live in human society, so they often didn’t have interest in the finer details
“Soo? Could I ask their name?”
The woht a bit
“I can’t remember The name Walt does remain in my memory I think the other one was Forxuz? There was Bahn… so or another, as well My husband did live on the land, but it’s the happenings of three hundred years ago Oh, you’ve retrieved it?”
One of the whales brought a large red stone on top of its head The woe item up in one hand, and tossed it over to me
When I accepted it, I found that even for h to need the support of my Skills to lift in one hand
The woman looked at me
“… I thought I would put you through a spot of pain for trying to seduce me, but it looks like you do have what it takes in you to defeat that one”
“What, you were angry? Worry not I don’t have a hobby of going after someone’s woman”
