(311)
Instead of going up to the fortress, the purple priest went into the cave on the left, and I followed him.
The cave was not very large, but the floor was covered with seawater, and the walls were covered with sharp barnacles, oysters, and strangely slippery seaweed.
Clink, clink.
In terms of direction, it was heading in a similar direction to the cave where Aquila had been killed, and it seemed as if the sound of waves could be heard from afar.
“Gasp, gasp!”
The guy was running with his chin pulled in and in a comfortable running posture for a long time.
Unlike the pirates, he seemed to know where to go.
Perhaps he knew how many entrances there were in this basement.
I gasped and shouted.
“Stand there!”
And immediately the fire started.
“……That can’t be.”
If the world were filled with people who only say "Seoland", I wouldn't have to live like this.
So I decided to throw a spear of fire to help him make a more rational decision.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A flame burst from my shoulder, elongated into the shape of a spear, and shot out towards the bastard's back.
Wedge!
Just before the fiery embers set the creature's robes ablaze, a terrible scream was heard.
“Kaaaah!”
Tsk tsk tsk!
A shield of water appeared out of thin air, completely blocking the passage.
Beyond the translucent shield, the purple priest could be vaguely seen moving away.
pop!
The flames burst in vain, and descendants of the alien creatures adapted to the sea crawled out from the hollows of the walls.
A fish-man warrior covered in scales, a shaman with a coral staff, and even a crab warrior so large that you'd think he managed to sneak in without it.
“Shiieeek!”
“Soletaras!”
Phu, phu, phu!
The crab warrior blocked the passage by planting his eight legs on the wall and floor, the sorcerer turned his back to the crab warrior and began to chant a spell, and the fish-man warriors ran towards him with harpoons and swords drawn.
“Karrrrr!”
It had steel-like blue scales, fist-sized eyes, and sharp teeth that shone coldly.
Even though I'm not the type of person who would kneel down when I go somewhere, he seemed to be a hand or two taller than me.
I shouted, gritting my teeth.
“Is that priest a princess of a race of humans? I will definitely make a clear soup out of him!”
In his left hand he held the awl-like dagger 'Black Scale' in reverse, and in his right hand he held the magic sword Storm instead of the Black Dagger.
Woohoo!
When I breathed mana into the sword with only a handle, a blade made of wind shot out fiercely and stabilized at a length of about 90cm.
Saaaaah!
I carefully added the flame of the verb to it.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
I was worried whether the magic circuit would hold up, but fortunately it held up well, whether it was due to my control or the performance of the magic tool.
In the darkness, a sword of fire burned brightly.
“Kirruruk?!”
The fish-man warriors who had been running towards him like wild beasts at the sight of meat stopped in their tracks like wild boars that had spotted a trap.
I checked the number of pages and weapons one last time.
15, harpoons and swords, teeth and claws.
The road is so narrow that it's impossible to avoid them all.
There is a possibility of the cave collapsing and being crushed when using high-level magic, and there is a possibility of the fish-man shaman dispelling and destroying my mana circuits.
This is worth a try.
“Then shall we go?”
“Keeeeeek!”
The fishman in the lead charged forward with his mouth wide open.
I thrust the sword of fire into the bastard's mouth.
"ha!"
At the same time, he started a melee while raising his mana.
Imperial Swordsmanship Level 1, Ichigo.
Card grab!
Mana ran between the muscle fibers, connecting them tightly, repeating resonance and expansion.
Imperial Swordsmanship Stage 2, Unforgettable.
Woohoo!
Mana stimulates the nerves, and the body prepares to launch a semi-automatic counterattack with movements engraved on it at the moment of attack.
“You pieces of ocean trash!”
The sword of fire that was thrust into the first fishman's mouth came out through its gills.
Phew!
I used the guy as a shield and kicked the ground to push him back.

"under!"
Behind him, other fish-men mercilessly harpooned him.
Swish!
A harpoon slid out from between the first one's flank and struck me square in the lower abdomen.
The sharp tip slightly crushed the area below the navel.
Kang!
There was a loud creaking noise, and my scales groaned as my torn uniform was sewn back together.
My nerves were screaming.
“T- F**k!”
I swung the sword that had protruded between my gills, spewing out six-letter words.
The sword of fire tore through the first bastard's jaws while it pierced the second bastard's eyes.
Cheeeeek!
“Keeeeeek!”
The second one screamed, and the smell of cooking fish filled the cave.
Swish! Swish!
The third and fourth harpoons were thrust into my sight.
I swung my sword of fire, cutting and striking the harpoon.
The magic sword of the wind storm was filled with flames of dragon words and mana blades, and it broke ordinary harpoons like reeds.
Card grab!
However, it held out, emitting sparks once or twice as if it were an object engraved with the black magic of the fish race.
I lit the fireworks at close range.
Phew!
This was not an attack, but an attempt to blind them, even if only for a moment.
The flames shot up to the ceiling, the fish-man warriors filling the passage turned their heads for a moment, and I took advantage of the gap and jumped up, kicking off the wall.
“!”
“Karuruk!”
Kick out the eyeballs of those who look at me, groan as the sword of the fish-man digs between the scales of the dragon, burst a spear of fire at close range, crush a scaled hand with a harpoon, cut off a thick neck with a single blow of a sword of fire… … .
“It broke through!”
The moment I broke through the wall of fish people, a huge mass of water came flying at me.
* * *
The fish-man shaman waved his coral staff in front of me.
“Suffocate to death!”
There were water droplets two or three times larger than my head floating in the air, and one of them flew over and wrapped around my head.
with a splash
My vision became blurry and I was in danger of drowning on land.
“Cough!”
Gulp!
I tried to tear it off with my scaled hands, but it must have been a spell I had prepared for quite some time, and even my magic resistance was not enough to completely shake it off.
Every time I scraped the water droplets off with my hand, only a few drops of damp seawater flowed down.
“Ugh.”
I staggered towards the fish-man sorcerer, finally unable to hold on, I placed my hand on the wall, and the man smiled wickedly.
The fish-man shaman pulled a ceremonial dagger from his waist.
The moment he tried to stab me below the ear, I kicked him between the legs.
puck!
“!”
The bastard's already large eyes opened wide as if they were going to pop out, so I snatched the dagger away and stabbed it into his eye.
Phew!
The feeling of it entering my head and tearing through my brain was vivid.
The water droplets covering the body of the fish-man sorcerer and my head collapsed at the same time, and I spat out the 'Mermaid's Kiss' talisman I had in my mouth and put it back in my pocket.
“This is what the Aquila kid used… I washed it well in seawater, so it shouldn’t be a problem.”
Now all that was left was the crab warrior.
The bastard was foaming at the mouth and threatening me.
Bugrrrr! Bugrrrr! Bugrrrr!
“It’s so dirty and big.”
It was as big as my chariot, completely blocking the passage, and pointing forward with a claw as long as a spear and as thick as a shield.
Ugh.
I put away my sword of fire, gripped my black scales tightly, and jumped up a couple of times to release myself.
Percussion!
"ha!"
As I kicked the ground, the giant pincers of the crab warrior came closer in an instant.
Booooooo!
A claw larger than my torso flew at me like a knight's hammer.
I threw my whole body and hugged the crab's claws.
“Ugh!”
bang!
I was holding on, but I couldn't stop, and I crashed into a wall full of barnacles and oysters.
Bam!
“Ugh-!”
A large crack appeared in the wall, and boulders came crashing down.
The shock was so great that my eyes went dark for a moment.
However, I managed to poke the black scale into the joint of its pincer.
“……First of all, I cut off his arm.”
The black scale was a dagger with the power to manipulate moisture.
I used blood magic and pulled out the black scales in one breath.
“Bloody spread!”
A lot of mana flowed out, but it wasn't enough to be a burden to me now.
Phewaaaaaaah-!
A translucent fluid spurted out like a fountain from the pincer joints.
A thick, pungent liquid soaked my head, and I shivered at the sensation.
The crab warrior was startled, and the giant claw fell off.
It was cut in the middle to prevent all the blood from being sucked out of the body.
Now he was just a living shield.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
I pulled out my sword of fire and injected a lot of mana into it to lengthen the blade.
A blade of flame, wind, and mana scraped and burned the ceiling, spewing out foul smoke.
“Is it okay now?”
“Kirruruk!”
The crab warrior spit out bubbles.
“You held out as long as you could!”
Tsukaaaaak!
The crab warrior extended his small pincers, and I cut its massive body in half.
* * *
“Stand there!”
I ran through the cave shouting like a third-rate guard in a novel about a thief or something.
I could vaguely see the exit on the right end in front of me.
When society becomes chaotic, bandits who call themselves thieves run wild, and most of them turn into bandits after a year or two, so they all have to be dealt with.
Come to think of it, most of Justinian's soldiers before the return…
As I see the distracting thoughts coming to my mind, I can tell that I'm starting to realize that the situation is doomed.
The purple priest who had almost been caught was just a shadow in the distance.
I ran like crazy and got out of the cave.
Woof woof!
Thunder and lightning were striking in the sky filled with dark clouds.
Swish!
The rain poured down as if a hole had opened in the sky.
Whioooo!
A wind blew that made people feel like they were going to fly away.
It seemed like the magic Cariosa had prepared was finally showing its power.
"……under."
It's still a chilly spring night.
If it rains this much, the pirate remnants who hid inland will all freeze to death at night, and the pirate remnants and villagers who escaped to the sea will all drown to death.
“All the footprints are gone.”
But what was really shocking me now was the fact that the purple priest's footprints had completely disappeared.
I looked around calmly.
slam!
To the left was a coast with a drop of about 2 to 3 meters, and to the right and in front was a huge hill full of undergrowth.
slam!
I looked towards the shore and saw crazy waves crashing.
Every time the dark blue sea roared, white walls rose up, and sharp rocks appeared between them.
Whatever the identity of that purple priest, he couldn't swim into that sea.
“In terms of defense, this hill is towards the city… Are you planning to go around?”
As I was scanning the hill, I saw a blue robe in the distance.
“I told you! I’ll boil the soup while you’re still alive!”
I chased the thing up the hill, shouting loud enough not to be drowned out by the thunder.
“!”
The guy was startled and started urging his legs.
Phew, phew!
The hills were slick with rain and slippery, and the thorny shrubs could be uprooted with just a grab.
But no matter what, I had better physical abilities than the Violet Priest, and the distance between us gradually became closer.
Just when I was finally starting to feel confident that I could catch the guy and tear his legs off within the next three minutes, a loud noise was heard from up the hill.
“Brother! This way!”
“The damn article is coming!”
“Run! Run!”
Listening to their conversation, they sounded like a band of defeated pirates.
“What kind of guys are they!”
But there were quite a lot of them.
“Hey, it’s Valencian!”
“Royal family?”
“Hey, since it’s come to this, it’s a fight to the death! Get them!”
The hill was swarming with pirate remnants.
There seemed to be at least 500 people.
“There are also purple priests.”
“How dare that kid come in front of me? That suspicious kid. Catch him first!”
“You all heard? Catch those two!”
The pirates bustling on the hill looked towards us.
The sight of a thousand eyes and a wrinkled face staring at us was quite grotesque.
The Violet Priest and I were terrified at the same time.
“Eww!”
“Gyaaaah!”
I was surprised at how unexpectedly clear the voice was.
“Kill them all!”
“Sweep it into the sea!”
“His Royal Highness the Duke of Valencian, the knight Tentia has arrived!”
A welcoming voice was heard from behind the pirates.
As soon as Pagin surrendered, Sir Tentia left the fortress and seemed to be pursuing them.
"kyung!"
Swish!
Rain poured down from the sky, the sea below roared, and the hills were muddy and slippery.
The Violet Priest was now a few steps ahead, and the pirates who were trying to capture us both were coming down the hill, while Sir Tentia and the Eastern Knights were grabbing their backs.
If I could just secure the Violet Priest, this chaos would end.
Aquila is dead, and Cariosa will soon dispatch the remaining fishmen.
Victory is within sight.
The purple priest looked up at the sky as the cold raindrops cooled his confused head.
The next moment the purple priest began to sing.
"la-."
I had a gut feeling the moment I heard that clear voice.
Tonight looked like it was going to be a very long night.
