Chapter 79

79Develops at a speed of Mach 2

This is already the fourth wave. Two days have passed since I was stranded at the gate..

Meanwhile, Hari focused on awakening his strength on the beach while facing the wave..

Normally, she would have helped more than anyone else, whether it was searching for a statue or something else, but there was a desperate reason..

"Okay! Eight!"

Sometimes I splash in the water with the soles of my bare feet, and sometimes I grab a handful of sea water..

However, the splash of water quickly fades away, and the sea water you grab quickly scatters in your hands..

Poma nodded at Hari's meaningless struggle..

[If you want to play in the water, take off your clothes. At least it looks good.]

"profit… ! Don't sexually harass a person when he or she is struggling to wake up somehow.!"

[I don't know where your actions now are an attempt to awaken the power of the sea and waves..]

In response to Poma's question, Hari sat down on the wet sand and pouted his lips..

"I learned that Ariana, the goddess of light and justice, gets closer to her by repeating righteous deeds or increasing her honor.."

[It's a boy's lesson. It's old-fashioned, but.]

"Demera, the goddess of life and abundance, was cultivating and giving thanks to the land, and Petos, the god of war and flame, was the flame of victory and fighting spirit? I think it was something like that.."

The gods inform each area they preside over of proper teachings and how to carry out those teachings..

Surprisingly, the previous gods were simple in their teaching, not to mention their level of difficulty..

"Is Poman the god of the sea and waves? He wondered if it had something to do with the sea.."

[Even so, I don't think it has anything to do with splashing in the water..]

"profit… ! Then can you tell me? Should I go out to the sea and catch some fish??"

[More precisely, it means catching a fish and offering it to me. But how can you catch fish when you have no boat, net, or fishing rod??]

"Ugh……."

Hari wondered why this bright turtle god did not give him strength..

"Your Majesty Leon… They said I had to save it... … . Don’t you have to hurry even if it’s just for a minute??"

[That's right. He is trapped in the sea, not on land. The fact that he hasn't been able to come out on his own until now must be putting him in an awkward position..]

"Then shouldn’t Master Poma wake me up quickly and find His Majesty??"

[That's right.]

Then why? Hari couldn't even know this god of the sea and waves..

[Han Hari, my divine daughter. It is easy for you to carry out the code of the sea and waves and build faith..]

[Every day, as a fisherman, I cast my net and harvest fish, give thanks to Me, and pray toward the source of life..]

[The sea is the infinite source of life. You can build your faith just by being thankful for it.]

When Hari was wondering if he should make a firewood, Poma said with a benevolent expression.

[However, Hari. It's a young priestess. How can you mistake the path of believers and priests for being the same? Are you arrogant to think that the enlightenment of a soldier and a knight is the same?.]

Realize it and put it into practice. That is the only way for you to realize the way of faith..

"……."

Hari had complicated feelings. Just let me know. Why is it such a long story?.

It would be the same for all human beings in this era who want only results to be given without any process or skills, like a skill or system..

"Hmm… I'll try harder."

But is it possible? Hari just tried to awaken the power given to him as Poma told him to do..

"Sister! older sister!"

And then, I see Suho running furiously towards the beach..

"what's the matter?"

"I found it! The Maverick Guild found the statue.!"

Nine hours until the next wave. Hari immediately followed Suho..

* * * *

The inside of the island is full of crab monsters, so just moving forward is a big problem..

However, the island where Raynald is located is quite small, so the distance to the statue is not very far..

There is only one mission that Raynald received from the Jewel of Wisdom. Destroy all these statues.

Originally, we should have destroyed this statue on the first day and moved on to the next island.…….

'It's still protected. There are more errors than expected.'

[Why do those bastards do things they weren't told to do??]

The Firebird Guild thoroughly inspected the statue and its surroundings. As if he were doubting the quest itself to destroy the statue..

It was beyond the Jewel of Wisdom and Raynald's expectations..

Usually, hunters who receive a quest only try to follow the quest and do not try to delve into the true meaning or truth of the quest..

Unlike hunters who only pursue the sweet fruits and rewards obtained from clearing quests, Lee Yong-wan and the Phoenix Guild's movements are clearly different now..

'Shall we secretly destroy it in the night??'

[There is no need to be suspicious. And there is a cause here..]

Raynald was able to immediately understand the justification of the Jewel of Wisdom..

"Hey Korean guys. Shouldn't we destroy the statue soon? I think I've waited a long time for this.."

Maverick guild members. They considered the Phoenix Guild's judgment to be reasonable..

Although we did not come to the conclusion that the statue should not be destroyed, since it exists, we are not sure if it is really the ‘Statue of Raksha’ as the quest states, or if there is something else around..

"When I was attacking the gate in Mexico City, I used the wrong strategy and fell into a trap.."

"Rather than recklessly destroying it, it is not a bad choice to thoroughly investigate the surroundings.."

Yes, three days. After surveying the island and blocking the waves with a fair amount of effort, they came to a conclusion:.

"There was nothing to be found on the island other than those crab monsters and no traces of civilization.."

"This is the only stone statue. According to the quest, one per island. I think this is the ‘Statue of Raksha’ that needs to be destroyed.."

"Is there any reason to wait any longer??"

The Maverick Guild drew a reasonable conclusion based on its investigation..

Neither Lee Yong-wan nor Ha Yu-ri had anything to say in response..

"Mmm……."

"I don't think there's any other way."

The Maverick Guild's conclusion is reasonable. There seemed to be no other way than to destroy the statue..

Lee Yong-wan was unable to provide any evidence to prove the reluctance he felt over and over again..

"then… Let's destroy the statue.."

Almost immediately after agreeing, Minuteman, an S-class hunter from the Maverick Guild, pounded the statue with a fist the size of his head..

"This is pretty solid?"

But that was all. When the S-class hunter expressed his sincerity, the statue was soon destroyed and at that moment, the quest window was updated..

['The 'Great Statue of Raksha'ar' was destroyed..]

destroyed statue 1/3

"As expected, destroying this statue was the right answer.."

When the quest was renewed, the Maverick Guild seemed to have accomplished just one thing. But Lee Yong-wan and Ha Yu-ri still couldn't let go of their discomfort..

"I wonder if this is right."

"I can't help it. I don't see any other way."

-Kikluk!

-Kikluk! Kikluk!

It was then. The moment the statue was destroyed, crab monsters rushed in from all directions, foaming at the mouth..

As if he was angry about destroying the statue..

"Suddenly I'm going crazy."

"Do it!"

But the craps monsters were no match for them. Basically, the quantity is enormous, but there are only three S-class hunters..

The hunters calmly slaughtered the crab monsters and the battle continued for a long time..

"Phew… Damn, there are so many numbers."

"They found the nest and destroyed it, so they won't come anymore.."

"Yongwan. It's wave time."

"Already? It took longer than expected.."

It's already time for the sixth wave. However, even though it was 12 o'clock sharp, there was no wave warning on the island..

"There is no wave?"

"As expected, destroying the statue was the correct answer.."

When the statue was destroyed, the wave stopped. It was natural for them to be confident that their actions were correct..

"Then let’s attack the rest of the islands.!"

The Phoenix and Maverick guilds agreed to split into two sides and attack the island..

Four days after drifting. This is thanks to the recovery of washed-up rubber boats..

"Then let's decide that the one who destroyed it first will come to support.."

Lee Yong-wan parted ways with the Maverick Guild and headed toward the island. He was soon able to arrive at the second island, relying on the calm wind and waves..

"Everyone, unload supplies and build a camp first! We also need to respond immediately to monster waves.!"

As soon as the Firebird Guild landed, they quickly established a camp and began setting up obstacles to deal with the wave..

When it had progressed to some extent, the hunters who had gone out to scout the surrounding area returned..

"Guild leader! There's something you need to see!"

Guild members urgently looking for Yongwan Lee.

"what's going on?"

"I have battle marks.!"

"Well, it's only natural that hunters were swept away here too.──"

"Well, it's not that kind of trail level! You have to see it to know!"

"???"

Lee Yong-wan felt puzzled by the guild member's pale expression and followed him. Another sandy beach a little distance away from the sandy beach where they landed..

"This, this…!"

Yongwan Lee’s eyes widened when he saw that..

It was a sign of war.

To be precise, it is a war between the landing force that undertakes the landing war and the defense force that receives it..

If that were all, they would have thought it was just traces of hunters fighting wave monsters. but this wasn't.

"……cannon?"

The scars on the monsters were not traces of being cut by cold weapons such as swords or spears..

It was as if the bodies had been unilaterally annihilated by powerful firepower. Pieces of broken meat are scattered around like rags..

If you were to translate the horrific scene from a war documentary, would it be roughly like this?.

"We must return quickly. This island is something different. We need to prepare!"

-Kikluk!

It was then. Many gazes that give you chills. Lee Yong-wan hurriedly aimed his bow at the island..

-Cluck cluck cluck!

-Look!

Crab monsters seen on the island. Those inexhaustible eyes are looking towards Lee Yong-wan..

If that were all, it wouldn't be a big worry for Lee Yong-wan, an S-class hunter. These crab monsters were numerous and not that strong. but──

Armor that fits perfectly along the thick shoulder blades. There is a line connected there that looks like an electrical device..

What was more surprising wasn't just that. The big, long thing that all crab monsters carry on their shells looks like... It looked like a 'gun barrel'.

"It's a cannon.?"

"Armed with firearms! Uh, why only on this island??!"

No, let's calm down. Wasn't the island they conquered a primitive monster that wielded thick claws?.

But does it make sense to use cannons only here? There is no way the gap in civilization could be this much. Obviously that's decoration──

-Boom!

A gun barrel that smashes my body into the sand and spits out fire. The fired cannon ball passed by Lee Yong-wan and he fell into the sea..

-Kwaang!

A shell that explodes and creates a water fountain. Yongwan Lee was struck by a fountain of water, chattering her teeth..

"Oh, it's real……."

There are hundreds of gun barrels like that. The number of pages is too different to start a battle hastily..

Some crab monsters approached Yongwan Lee, who hesitated, carrying something on their shoulders. It's like a big palanquin..

-Cluck cluck cluck!

-Look, look, look!

-Kkikiruuk!

Crab monsters bow down as if in worship. Above it is a figure resembling a tribal leader from the primitive era, embroidered with flower and tree decorations. that… … A truly unexpected person... No, it was a machine.

"Hey Yacht Spinner?!"

Yakt Spinner. It is undoubtedly the killing machine of Cheongju Gate, approaching in a palanquin and being worshiped by crab monsters. It was Yakt Spinner, the Holy Grail Knight of the pantheon..

"Bow down to Brother Yapi, the breadwinner of our Kikkiruk tribe.!"

After that, the person who followed with all his hands and shouted like a traitor was undoubtedly Kim Jae-hyuk, a knight cadet from the Pantheon Guild..

-Surrender, organism. You guys have no chance of winning..

""………….""

Lee Yong-wan, seeing the two people, put down his weapon with a dumbfounded look on his face..

Phoenix Guild.

Suppression complete.
