Episode 382 – The Tip of the Iceberg (4)
Lee Kyung-bok and Park Joo-ho ran down the passage. They each took on the roles of spider machine interceptor and guide.
But there was one thing in common.
"right!"
“I told you there was no need to explain everything?”
The problem was that neither of them were looking straight ahead.
Lee Kyung-bok was single-shotting the spider machine chasing him from behind, while Park Joo-ho was fixated on the map, checking the optimal route.
-Ah, lol. Navigation voice guidance is a basic option.
-No;;; Why is Godple running so fast while looking back?
-The upper and lower body are controlled separately, Imari lol
-Is this the Shanghai Twist or something?
-It's true that the top and bottom are separate, lol
-It's really fast lol
There were many forks in the road inside the power plant, but the two never stopped.
Thanks to this, the distance to the destination train platform was rapidly shortening.
“No need to reload?”
Park Joo-ho asked, turning his gaze. There were pipes sticking out here and there in the middle of the passage, dripping water down.
The bullets in the high-pressure water rifle were made of water, so the developers had created a supply point.
“It’s still loose.”
Lee Kyung-bok lightly shot a spider emerging from the wall and replied. A short stream of water pierced its body, causing the machine to fall limply.
-This guy really has amazing control!
-???: Why are you refilling the water? (I really don't know)
-Reducing unnecessary waste, isn't that perfect?
– Optimal shooter for a country with water shortages ㅎㄷㄷ
-No lol That water-scarce country is a joke lol
-What the hell? How bad is the water shortage?
-Is that the tribe? LOL
While the viewers laughed at him, Park Joo-ho also smiled faintly.
“Then run a little faster?”
“Oh? Faster?”
“I’ve memorized the rest of the route.”
As if to prove his point, Park Joo-ho put the map away. Then he started sprinting.
-You memorized it all?
-This is a spread lol
– I also watched it together and memorized up to right left left right right left right, but I don't know anything more than that.
-What the f*ck are you talking about?
-What command input is this? lol
As the process accelerated, Park Joo-ho's expression hardened for a moment.
“Oh no, the door is closing!?”
The door at one of the forks was more than half-closed. He was in the lead, so he could get through, but Lee Kyung-bok, who was following behind, seemed to have a difficult time.
“Go left instead!”
But, having already memorized the map in his head, Park Joo-ho calmly tried to choose an alternative.
But Lee Gyeong-bok's thoughts were different.
“Hey, just go!”
“No, then… I understand!”
Park Joo-ho was momentarily conflicted, but followed Lee Kyung-bok's words.
-Huh?????
-Are you going to send it to Perpago first and go separately?
-You came early anyway, so why don't you just go?
-Isn't this something that can't be helped?
-If you get caught in the door, won't you die?
The viewers were puzzled.
Lee Kyung-bok ran fast, but the distance was simply too far for him to pass. In fact, if he tried to force his way through, he might get caught in the door and fail.
“This…! It won’t stop…!”
Park Joo-ho, who had passed first, tried to grab the closing door. Despite his efforts, the door steadily closed.
Meanwhile, Lee Kyung-bok threw himself sideways toward the door. His upright body seemed to narrowly fit through the gap, but distance proved to be the issue.
A moment that makes everyone say, "Oh my."
“Safe!”
Lee Kyung-bok smiled faintly and pulled the trigger deeply. Then, high-pressure water shot out of the rifle, adding momentum.
Lee Kyung-bok, who had been rolling on the floor, lightly rolled his body to regain his posture.
“…You too, really have a fun life.”
Then the door closed with a bang, and Park Joo-ho let out a sigh of relief.
-Crazy about fun lol
-Safe in the meantime, it's good ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-There are people who don't listen to the navigation and just go their own way!
-???: This way is faster! (Real)

-Ah, that's the perfect shortcut (nods)
-Is this the flowing progression of water?
-The water is flowing too fast?
Viewers were also delighted by the reaction.
* * *
The two arrived at their destination.
At the end of the passage, the train platform I had seen in my past flashbacks was visible.
“Oh, there’s a cutscene right there.”
As we stepped foot in, a cutscene began. Lee Kyung-bok and Park Joo-ho arrived leisurely, but the protagonist in the cutscene was out of breath.
“I barely managed to get out.”
“Wow, that’s really fortunate.”
The protagonist took a deep breath and looked back toward the passageway. A solid iron gate already blocked the passageway.
"I'm sorry, but we have to move. Those machines might come at you again at any moment."
“Yes, I understand.”
The two people immediately boarded the underwater train.
“There are weapons here too.”
“It was made so that you can shoot from inside.”
It was attached to the middle of the carriage like a high-pressure water turret. They looked around and then headed forward.
“There must be a device at the very front.”
“Be careful.”
The train itself wasn't very large. It was just two carriages long, so I was able to get to the front.
-I guess it's just controlling the speed.
-I guess it's because the rails are laid?
-Let's escape quickly!
-Atlantis right there!
Surprisingly, the controls weren't complicated. They simply contained a lever that could move forward and backward, and a slot for inserting a crystal.
“Are you ready?”
"…yes."
With a solemn expression, the protagonist inserted the crystal. With that, the train lit up and the propulsion system began to operate.
“Captain…!”
With that, the surroundings brightened and the rear view was visible on the glass panel next to the lever, as if showing the external situation.
-Why are there so many?
-Is it coming from sticking to the outer wall?
-Oh my;;; It's a machine, but it's so gross
-There was a reason there was a turret lol
-???: Full speed ahead!
-What are you doing! Let's go!
Numerous spider machines were attached to the outer wall of the power plant and were approaching the train.
As the protagonist hastily pushed the lever, the train began to accelerate with a loud bang.
“If I had been even a little bit late, it could have been dangerous.”
Several spider machines chased along the tracks, but their speeds were too great. The train sped ahead, leaving the power plant behind.
-Oh, you're just passing by?
-If you get caught here, you'll be in trouble lol
-You knew how to escape, right?
-Ah haha I'm sick and tired of this kind of directing (raising fingers one by one)
-Are you so nervous that you can't open your fist? LOL
The viewers were relieved, but Lee Kyung-bok felt differently.
The outside of the train was completely dark. It felt like there was nothing but the light emitted by the train.
If there were no railroad tracks, it would be impossible to tell which direction we were going.
'It seems the developers aren't willing to let it go easily.'
Beyond the darkness, a powerful threat was felt. Even from a considerable distance away, it was clearly a formidable force.
Lee Gyeong-bok was trying to estimate its form through information that was being passed down through the media.
“Wait, what’s that sound…!?”
Suddenly, a strange sound rang out. The protagonist, as well as the viewers, remembered that sound.
-?????
-Isn't this a call to summon a monster?
-What is it? Why are you suddenly like this?
-I'm getting off the train?
-Why the f*ck are you bringing monsters onto the train!
-What kind of bait train is that?
When the protagonist turned his eyes in surprise, Park Joo-ho's character waved his hand as if he felt wronged.
“I, I didn’t touch anything.”
“Get out of the way.”
The protagonist pushed him away and looked at the glass plate attached to the wall.
[*Don't be surprised!]
[During the ride, large marine life may be attracted to the light. The sound you're hearing is sound waves that these creatures avoid, so rest assured.]
Everyone, including the protagonist, was amazed by that explanation.
“Oh, it was actually the opposite?”
-You're not calling the monster, you're chasing it away?
-No;; But this didn't work!
-Yeah, the Kraken was chasing after me and all kinds of guys just came.
-HOXY Wasn't that something that only worked a thousand years ago?
-What the heck lol I guess the monsters have adapted too
-Rather, it might be that you make him come accurately by making him receive the king. LOL
-But doesn't that mean a giant marine creature is coming now?
As viewers expected, Lee Kyung-bok was soon able to identify the identity of this intense threat.
“Stand, stand, Captain?!”
"oh my god."
The darkness of the deep sea shimmered. It approached rapidly, gradually taking shape, and was revealed by the light emitted by the train.
The long, massive body, the scales that protruded from it, and the vertical pupils characteristic of reptiles glowed reddish-green.
Its arms, stretched forward to match its size, were large enough to hold the train in one hand, and its large mouth was large enough to swallow the train without damage.
The protagonist knew the name of the giant monster.
“Leviathan…!”
“Excuse me, are you saying that that is a deep-sea dragon!?”
The protagonist did not answer.
He pressed the lever as far as it would go, just enough to stop it from moving any further, with a stern expression.
The propulsion system increased its speed to the point where a loud squeal could be heard inside. However, the distance between itself and the Leviathan remained unchanged.
“…I’ll take care of this place.”
“Captain!?”
The cutscene ends with the protagonist heading to the passenger car with a stern expression.
-No way, is that turret made to fight Leviathan?
-If it's a giant monster, isn't it on the same level as the Kraken?
-Totally Evande lol
-This isn't really made to be broken.
-High pressure water gun or whatever, this is a real water gun lol
Viewers reacted with disbelief. Park Joo-ho shared a similar opinion.
<The display here shows the distance to Atlantis. There's an undersea tunnel in the middle. Can you see it?>
“Oh, I can’t see it from my side.”
"Then I guess it's my role to relay the message. Perhaps once they enter the undersea tunnel, they won't be able to pursue them any further."
“Well, it took so many viewers to catch the Kraken, so how could you catch it alone?”
Lee Kyung-bok answered and grabbed the turret. The view changed to first-person perspective.
It was a similar situation to the turret tutorial I first took at the military academy.
Viewers felt a strange emotion at the situation.
-That's right, so why is it awkward?
-Really lol I thought this guy would say he could conquer again
-The twist is that there is no twist lol
-No matter what, if it can't be done, it can't be done lol
-You can't do anything that the system blocks lol
-If you have the Godful aiming skills, you can get a free pass for restraint lol
-Does this actually make it fresher?
It was because of Lee Kyung-bok's unusually ordinary(?) reaction. Lee Kyung-bok laughed at the chat and fired a water cannon.
Leviathan's forelegs flinched as he tried to grab the train, then backed away. Lee Kyung-bok glared at him, but Leviathan gently raised his hand and covered his face.
“Hmm, it still doesn’t work.”
-But the level is different, so I wonder if it would be okay to catch it by catching a serpent? lol
– Judging from the reaction, it seems like it was just a little bit stingy lol
-Even a simple brush here is a fatal hit, f*ck
-This is a section that the developers made for you to spread and rest. LOL
The viewers soon relaxed, but Lee Kyung-bok gave them no time to do so.
“But this is a bit of a special case, so it might be difficult to follow.”
This was because Lee Kyung-bok, who had been thinking for a while, suggested a new possibility.
“Is it possible to conquer it alone?”
What?
-????
-to?
-I said no! I said no!
-What is this guy trying to do again? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-1-person strategy? You're saying you can solo a giant monster?
A solo strategy for the giant monster Leviathan.
Everyone was dumbfounded by those words.
* * *
Around the same time, the Rogue Games broadcast channel.
-Huh? Huh? Is this a translation error?
-No, no, I'm serious. Mr. Purple, you declared a one-man attack.
-Etto, has Leviathan ever been attacked? It's hard to remember, but…
-Hey hey hey, look at this for a second www Purple C, Leviathan is not the target of the attack itself www
-Hey, someone who knows Korean! Quickly tell Purple the strategy!
-What was the classic strategy?
-Huh? Don't you know that? It's about intercepting based on the aversion sound waves!
Japanese viewers also didn't believe Lee Kyung-bok's words. This was because Leviathan was originally a story-only boss, not a world boss.
But still, the atmosphere in the chat room was bright.
-Hey, but if that's what Purple said, there must be a reason, right? Maybe Kaniumacon is needed?
-That's the problem! Purple, you haven't lied until now! No, no, of course, all of those methods seemed like lies!
-Ah, this is a flag! Perfect flags are always a success!
-If even Mr. Purple himself admits that this method is difficult to follow, isn't this a pretty amazing method? (Laughs)
There was nothing that couldn't be done just because Lee Kyung-bok was there. Viewers expressed curiosity rather than concern.
But the atmosphere changed with his subsequent response.
-Hey hey, Purple, you know the classic strategy, right?
-Well, I thought it would be something special… but this is a bit disappointing…
-Well, Jeongseok is really good, isn't he? Or rather, Jeongseok is really perfect, isn't he!?
-Such stable aim at top speed! As expected, Purple is Purple, right?
-Hey, if it's like this, I just need to be careful at the end, right? Well, if it's Mr. Purple, it'll be fine, though.
-Ah, swinging with both hands and biting. It's a bit tricky when those come out at the same time. It feels like the developer's malice is evident when the pattern changes only at the end. www
It wasn't anything special, but it was a great, classic response. Viewers expressed disappointment, but they weren't dissatisfied either.
<Okay, I figured it out.>
As soon as Lee Kyung-bok spoke confidently, a question mark appeared in the chat window.
Understanding? Are you talking about understanding Leviathan's attack patterns? But didn't we already block them all from the start?
<I repeat, this is a difficult method to follow. And even if I told you, I doubt many people would follow it.>
Lee Kyung-bok smiled and opened his inventory.
<Still, I think it will be fun, so I'll try.>
And the viewers who saw the item he took out were astonished.
-Huh?
-What? What does this mean?
-Wait, wait! Mr. Purple, do you know the value of that!?
-I don't know what it was, but I did it. Purple did it again.
-Ah, should I say this is really Purple C-like? I can't stop laughing.
It was the permanent performance enhancement item, the ‘Kraken Ink Pouch’.
* * *
Viewers were shocked by the item that Lee Kyung-bok took out.
-????????????
-Stop! Stop it right now!
-Huh? Do you know how much that costs!?
-Oh my gosh lol Are you crazy? Seriously lol
-There must be a reason for this, right?
-No;; Why are you using this!?
-Ah haha I don't know but it's already fun hahaha
Amidst the mixture of shock and laughter, Park Joo-ho's voice was heard.
"We're almost to the undersea tunnel! At this speed, it'll only take about a minute!"
"okay."
Lee Gyeong-bok answered lightly and placed the ink pouch into the turret.
“It’s a water cannon, so it uses liquid as ammunition, right? I think this ink would work too.”
Black ink began to rise up the barrel of the gun. Lee Gyeong-bok smiled brightly at him.
"Ah, of course! Age of Oceans has these details, folks."
-Oh my gosh lol is this the time to comment on homework?
-Can't you get that back?
-ㅇㅇ The big meal just evaporated like thisㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-It's like watching someone burn a blank check…
-Really crazy lol
-???: Money doesn't matter. What matters is the message.
As the viewers looked disappointed, Lee Kyung-bok took aim at Leviathan and said.
"Hey, there's no point in increasing the sailing ship's specs anyway. Honestly, isn't this more fun?"
At those words, the chat window filled with 'ㄹㅇㅋ' and 'ㅇㅈ'. Lee Kyung-bok raised the corners of his mouth at that.
<The undersea tunnel is starting to appear!>
“Okay, now all you have to do is wait.”
Despite Park Joo-ho's report, Lee Kyung-bok made no response. Viewers were growing impatient.
-What on earth are you trying to do? LOL!
-Come to think of it, what do you do with Kraken ink?
-It has strong adhesiveness
-Where should I stick it?
-Huh! Tell me quickly!
Despite this urging, Lee Gyeong-bok remained silent. Leviathan, with his hands and mouth wide open, charged toward the train.
The viewers were surprised by the pattern change at the end.
“Oh, this is easier.”
Lee Kyung-bok, instead, smiled and pulled the turret's trigger. Black ink shot out like a laser.
But strangely enough, the direction was only towards the head. Wouldn't that make it easier to hit with both hands?
-what?
-Why is he like that?
– Was there any poison in the ink?
-How did it happen, how did it happen!?
Leviathan was twisting his body this way and that, groaning in pain.
While the viewers were confused, Park Joo-ho's sigh was heard through the voice channel.
<What the hell…! Are you aiming for the Leviathan's gills?>
“Oh, I guess it looks better when you see it in person in the game.”
Lee Kyung-bok clapped his hands with a light laugh.
"Pupago, as expected, has great observation skills. Even if it's a giant monster, it's still a living thing. Doesn't it need to breathe?"
With his admission, the chat window quickly filled up.
-Gills? Gills?
-Does Leviathan have gills?
-Who cares about Leviathan gills?!
-???: Hehe, that's it
-Wow lol that's why it's an ink pouch lol
-Did you just block the breathing hole?
-Pupago official crazyㅋㅋㅋ
-What is it? Why are you so crazy!?
Lee Kyung-bok smiled in satisfaction at the intense chat window response.
"That's why I said it's a difficult method for anyone to follow. You can't do it without Kraken ink."
Meanwhile, the writhing Leviathan's body sagged. With that image as its last, the train entered the undersea tunnel.
-Is Muchin really dead?
-So this isn't the first attack?
-Oh my gosh, I didn't make it to be conquered, lol
-Advertiser: Purple? Purple? Purple?
-(Gemalcon)(Gemalcon)(Gemalcon)(Gemalcon)
-A water dragon drowning in water later!?
-Drowning happens in water, that's common sense, right? -Oh no, lol that's right lol F*ck lol
– As expected from a non-paying broadcast, they just spend whatever they get lol
-What is true free-to-play? It's getting rid of items!
Lee Kyung-bok returned to the lead, checking the chat. Park Joo-ho greeted him with a hollow laugh.
“Don’t you feel sorry?”
“As long as it’s fun, that’s fine.”
At Lee Kyung-bok's immediate response, Park Joo-ho smiled and shook his head. Soon, the surroundings brightened.
The train passed through the tunnel and came out.
“Oh, is that it?”
“It must be Atlantis.”
Beyond the railroad tracks, a huge underwater city was visible.
The legendary city of Atlantis was ahead.
