Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter] Chapter 413

“Boogrrrrr’’ …”

When Leeha, who was being held(?) by Seaburim, opened her mouth to speak, air bubbles bubbled up.

“yes?”

[What?]

Anderson and the Blaugrun he was holding found an air bubble. Whispering wasn’t difficult, but it was more uncomfortable than speaking directly.

-Ugh, I’m so frustrated I can’t even talk! Oh, it’s nothing special, but I was wondering if you were preparing for the fish people!

“Of course. “It might be on the ground, but here our detection capabilities are no less.”

“Hehe, we can confirm it with the ultrasound coming from here.”

While listening to Sibrim, Anderson pointed to his forehead.

Even though she was a masculine mermaid, Anderson, who looked pretty, had a small scale on her forehead.

‘If you say something like that, should we assume that the border is okay? The problem is speed. Since it’s underwater and you’re swimming, you can certainly move faster than a ship… The mermaids will also take a break, and should we assume that they will eventually arrive at the central part of the Dragon Palace’s waters around the same time? If all goes as expected, the next 19 days and about 12 hours.’

At the sea level in the central part of the sea area of Yonggung, there is an immovable island, a ‘buoy’, and on the bottom of the sea is ‘Yonggung’.

The locations where the members of the New World expedition had to conduct operations were similar.

But Leeha’s mind was complicated.

‘The starting point of the operation will be slightly different.’

Team A has several users. You can log out through the central part of the Dragon Palace’s sea area and until you exit the Dragon Palace’s sea area.

Team B has only one member, Hye-in, but the operation begins only after reaching the ‘buoy’ island.

In other words, until then, you can focus on defending against the fishmen with the users of Team A, then log out at an appropriate time, log in after a break, and complete your duties.

But what about Team C?

There is no need to be a team, so I am literally alone.

Moreover, unlike Team B’s Hyein, she has already started carrying out the operation.

Therefore, this means that there is no one to return the logout rotation and no one to take over the mission, even if only for a short period of time.

‘Furthermore, maybe it’s because he’s a sea god, Undine’s clan, etc., but the sea area of the Dragon Palace is also incredibly wide.’

The entire diameter of Yonggung’s sea area is about 40 days at the sailing speed of a ship, and the distance from the outskirts of Yonggung’s sea area to the center is 20 days.

How many days does Lee, who started the operation after entering from the outskirts, have to carry out the operation in the next few days?

Maintaining connectivity throughout that period is close to impossible.

Therefore, what was confirmed in advance was the effect of The Ring of Water.

Below is what I thought about the most.

‘How will the 20m distance limit be applied while logging out?’

It was a blessing in disguise.

‘Even if you log in again, you will appear right near Seabream.’

If you think about it simply, it was a movement-restricting skill, but when I developed a method to apply it, it became possible to use it as an excellent movement skill.

‘Now I have to stay connected for as long as possible. as soon as possible!’

This is not the time to stop and rest.

This is the most relaxed time, when fishermen have flocked towards the vessels serving as bait.

‘The mermaids also increased their speed without resting, and agreed to rest for a day when I logged out. Tsk, me too, but in the case of mermaids, it’s like moving for 10 days and resting for a day. If it were a human NPC, I would have just fainted and stretched out.’

Mermaids are in no position to choose between hot and cold food.

It was not possible to confirm whether they had higher physical strength than human NPCs or whether they could survive without sleep.

However, Sibrim and Anderson also agreed to move for 10 days and sleep for 1 day, and then move again for 10 days and sleep for 1 day.

Of course, there would be time to stop and rest along the way, but it was a hell of a march.

Also, in terms of real time, it was the same as 48 hours of access – 5 hours of sleep, and 48 hours of access – 5 hours of sleep, so the mermaids were not offended.

This is a mission that requires extreme concentration while surviving only on a short nap. An ordinary person with decent physical strength would not be able to withstand it.

That’s why Shin Nara actively tried to stop Leeha when she said she would join the C team, but she couldn’t defeat Leeha either.

‘The good news among misfortunes is that I have already experienced something worse than this! During KCTC, it felt like hell to lie down in one place and wait for 60 hours without even being able to go to the bathroom, squishing your own urine. It was to the point where I was confused as to whether my eyes were open or closed. It’s sweet now compared to then. ‘It’s complete bullshit!’

Although he was reassuring himself, his expression was not very bright.

Still, I know very well that things that are difficult are difficult.

‘Anyway, in 22 days from now, Middle Earth time, it will be right near the Yonggung. If you rest there for a while and go to the Yonggung, it will be exactly the 23rd day. ‘I have to finish it in one day.’

Leeha calculated the operational time he could move at that point.

Considering the speed of the ship, spatial movement using the link between Hyein and Baylipus was also a great reference to the fact that it could only travel a distance of 100 hours.

‘The Ancient Dragon’s space lock is stronger than the wide-area barrier used in the national war. Even Hyein, who broke through it, is 100 hours away… I don’t know how strong the Three Musketeers’ chain teleportation might be, but I’m not sure it’s stronger than that. ‘My time limit should be set earlier than that.’

In other words, since Hye-in’s free time is limited to 4 hours on the 24th, this means that anyone who enters after the 23rd has reached the end of the day must set their limit before the 24th.

‘According to the calculations, the total operation time is about a day and a few hours, but we should not act with that in mind. I heard stories about the Yonggung and the septic tank… Theory and practice are different again. ‘If you move a little more tightly and with the determination to finish within 20 hours, you’ll come close.’

The following strategy was to avoid the fishmen as much as possible and only solve the septic tank.

‘If the polluted sea god returns to his original state, he will lead the mermaids and take charge of the fishmen, right?’

It was Anderson and Sibrim’s guess, but Leeha and Bailippus also thought it was highly likely.

The sea god said that he had not come forward and punished the fishmen because he had treated them as members of the same race.

If we take that as a starting point, Leeha guessed that the sea god was considering a coexistence with them, and that he may have recognized that this happened because the septic tank was contaminated while he was looking for a way to do so.

In other words, it should be seen that they took action thinking that removing the source of pollution would eliminate the ferocity of the fish people, but failed, leading to the current situation.

Of course, if the source of pollution is removed, there is a high possibility that the sea gods will return to their original state.

If so? At that time, he would not leave the fishmen alone.

‘you can do it. If we just remove the source of pollution in the septic tank, the sea god will definitely return. That’s probably why the sea god’s death was listed as a failure condition.’

Hints from quests.

There was nothing more to worry about for Leeha, who knew what Middle Earth was aiming for.

‘If all operations go as planned, Team C and I will join Team A, and Team B will join Team A less than 10 hours later. Additionally, the sea gods and mermaids will deal with the fishmen that follow, so normal logout rotation can be activated immediately. then? By the time we leave the waters of the Dragon Palace, everyone will have recovered their stamina.’

Of course, there were variables even during this time.

All of these plans were made based on the standard that the Marlin and New-Serpent move at a constant speed without slowing down or resting. If something happened in the middle, everything would inevitably go wrong.

‘You have to believe it. Unless I can cover every place by myself, I have to trust my ‘comrades.’

Because you don’t fight a war alone.

Leeha imagined the state of the sea level for a moment and then opened his mouth.

“Purgrrr!”

Faster, faster!

The mermaids understood the following meaning without having to whisper.

Shuuuuu───────!

Bubbles rose to the surface drop by drop.

The schedule and operational plan are shared by teams A, B, and C. All teams were sweating hard to meet their respective deadlines.

Not only Leeha, but also Teams A and B were in a situation where they couldn’t find any relief.

* * *

“Port gun, fire as soon as ready! You don’t have to guess! Checks come first! “Slow them down!”

Quaaaaaang, quaaaaaang, quaaaaaang———ang!

Inside the cabin, the sound of Calverine firing was constantly ringing. Fish-men are creatures with human arms and legs sprouting from the body of a fish.

There are some that swim like dolphins at sea level and come toward the ship, but there are also quite a few that swim from the bottom of the sea.

However, they are invisible to deck users.

It cannot even be caught by the skills of Oracle Rubini or Dancer Chiyo.

How to deal with them?

It is difficult to think separately. Except for indiscriminate shooting.

“Change the type of bullet! Insert with the prepared fishing net! “Insert chain shells into gun chambers that are not equipped with fishing net shells!”

“Starboard gun—Fire!”

Too-kwang, tou-kwaaaaang──────!

Two bullets flew from the muzzle of the huge calverine cannon and began to spread. Connected between bullets were thin, long nets.

Normally, they aimed to destroy sails or masts by chaining them together, but as they entered the waters of the Dragon Palace, Kraven users developed better bullets to deal with the fishmen.

The New World Expedition Team are high-level users who create countermeasures based on their experience of fighting just once!

A huge water fountain soared up with the whistling sound of a flying cannonball.

“Leeha!” “Kyukyuhak, hot!”

“Great! “It works!”

“Make more! What is this guy with his hands idle! “Keep making fishing nets!”

The interior of the cabin, which was not visible from the outside, was also busy.

Not to mention the deck.

Drake had partially deleted the typhoon in the sky, and the Marlin and New-Serpent’s acceleration skills and wave-ignoring skills were showing off their effectiveness to the fullest, but the fishmen’s offensive was no small feat.

“Hakit, you fought with these guys? 〈Poison Stink〉”

Fufuuuuuuuuuuu… !

Biyemi shook his head and sprayed water mist out of the deck.

The small particles, which looked no different from spray from the sea, spread widely and created a barrier.

“Hakyuuuuut?”

“Whoop, hakit! Haki!”

There are as many as five fishmen approaching that place.

However, those who were swimming butterfly with their gills spread were hastily changing direction.

“Wow, what skill is it?”

“Kitkit, I tried it just in case, and it worked. It’s a poison that uses bad smells. Rather than being a poison, it is used to chase away birds or insect-type monsters…”

Biyemi laughed happily.

Poison is not simply caused by the constant loss of HP.

Venom Mage, who knew how to fully utilize Middle Earth’s system, was driving out fish in ways that other users could not even imagine.

“If you rush it, it will be worth your experience, hmm… Something worth using…”

While everyone was busy dealing with the fishmen, Lee Ji-won climbed up the mast and calmly looked around and chanted.

“Lee Ji-won! what are you doing?! Catch it quickly – Spread Arrow!”

Clap la la la rock!

Bobae showered forked arrows and shouted at Lee Ji-won, but the second-ranked magic swordsman, the user most needed at a time like this, just sat there, paying no attention.

“Wow! Bobae, over there, over there!”

“Oh my! 〈Heavy Shot〉!”

Jjuuuuuk, pot!
