Episode 110 Deep in the sea (3)

Quad deuk.

The tentacle roughly pierced the fishman’s chest. The giant fishman was startled, but perhaps because he thought Isaac had stabbed him with a dagger, he didn’t move and sank deeper and deeper into the sea.

However, if you are in pain, the shortcut to longevity is to go to the hospital early rather than self-diagnosing.

For a moment while the fishman was mistaken, the tentacles dug into the fishman’s chest, roughly tearing and tearing at the thick skin.

Feeling the pain of having his ribs torn off, the giant fishman belatedly realized that something was wrong and tried to shake Isaac off.

However, Isaac’s body, which had already become firmly rooted within the bastard’s body, did not fall off. He tried to crush his body with force, but his hard armor did not crumple and only made the pain worse.

The sea instantly turned red with the fishman’s blood. Fishmen gathered around them, but because of the blood, they couldn’t figure out what was going on and just kept spinning around.

When the giant fishman couldn’t fall no matter how hard he tried to separate Isaac, he changed his mind.

It started heading towards the deep sea even more fiercely. He was planning to suffocate Isaac to death. It was a wise decision that he could not think of as a frog head.

On the other hand, Isaac pushed the tentacle in more roughly. The inside of the giant fishman’s body was already in shambles. Even if Isaac was released, he was as good as dead.

However, with a tenacity that was unknown whether it was a final struggle or posthumous cramps, it dug deeper and deeper into the sea.

‘Now slowly… … .’

When Isaac’s breathing reached its limit, the long-awaited effect appeared.

[The ‘Deep Sea General (A)’ was feasted on.]

[The ‘Innards of the Dead God’ perk increases intake efficiency.]

[Body fusion occurs due to the Abomination predation effect.]

[Breathing underwater is now possible.]

[Movement in the water becomes faster.]

Thin gills appeared under Isaac’s chest. Even though Isaac did not have to inhale sea water through his mouth, the water entered through his lungs and filtered out oxygen. The giant fishman who was waiting for Isaac to die slowly sank without seeing him die.

Tentacles burst out from inside the creature’s body, quickly devouring and devouring essential parts. Isaac leapt with all his might towards the fishmen who had not yet figured out the situation. Even without the giant fishman pulling him, Isaac sinks on its own due to the weight of his armor.

But for Isaac, the ‘doctrine of the waves’, or the miracle of water walking, was now at stake.

The moment Isaac hit the sea again, the sea violently pushed him away. With the momentum of a shower of arrows, Isaac soared, cutting through the fishmen passing by in an instant.

Dark red blood bubbles followed behind him. At the end were fishmen with battering rams hanging from their bodies.

The fishmen, whose bodies were slowed down by the battering ram, were unable to avoid Isaac.

pop. Isaac jumped to the surface at high speed. Behind the spot where he jumped, the dismembered and cooked corpses of fishmen and a battering ram that had lost its owner floated up. Screaming sounds, unknown whether they were the screams or shouts of fishmen, echoed both above and below the sea.

‘Giant fishman, no, deep sea man general? Maybe it’s because he died, but his movements are disrupted.’

The fishmen could no longer approach Isaac carelessly. Since they lost the battering ram, there was no way for them to sink the ship. Of course, the numbers were still crowded enough to fill the sea.

As if they hadn’t given up, they began to sing something in unison.

[Nameless Chaos is watching you.]

A beep sounded as if warning Isaac.

‘The Siren’s Song.’

It had the ability to make people who heard the song go into a trance and draw them into the sea. Isaac immediately tried to cover his ears. But he soon realized that he didn’t mind hearing the song.

‘Is it because I ate the deep sea general? Or is it because of nameless chaos?’

I don’t know why, but there was nothing wrong with Isaac. But the sailors would not. Isaac quickly looked back at his stomach. Even trained sailors may have their own countermeasures, but the chorus of numerous fishmen is an attack that is difficult for ordinary people to resist.

with a plop. The sound of someone staggering and throwing themselves off the railing was heard.

‘It’s a more effective attack method than a battering ram, so why now?’

However, Isaac was soon able to understand why the fish-men started singing in chorus so late.

Coo coo coo coo… … .

Isaac suddenly noticed that the sky and sea had turned dark gray. As the ocean current twisted, a huge whirlpool was forming beneath our feet. Streams of water splashed as the waves wandered in all directions. The fishmen’s chorus stopped late, but it was already too late.

Isaac realized what was happening.

“The Drowned King… … .”

The angel with the largest body among the angels.

A being that changed the ocean currents just by moving was approaching.

***

“────!────!!”

Real screams started to come out among the fish people. It was not a cry of accusation or pain like before, but a scream of fear. They started to run away late, but it was futile. A black shadow was cast beneath the water.

The moment ‘it’ arrived, the fishmen were no different from shrimp in the whale’s mouth.

Kwaaaaaa… … A sound like a waterfall began to echo.

Isaac felt the sea lift him up.

The boat tilted as if it would capsize at any moment due to the strong waves. But at that moment, a tentacle crawled up from the sea and held the ship from falling.

As the tentacles lightly wrapped around the ship, a crushing sound rang out, but instead of destroying the ship, the tentacles held it surprisingly lightly and protected it from the waves. Then, with incredible delicacy, he picked up the sailor who had fallen into the sea and placed him on the deck.

The being that emerged from the cracking sea was a huge kraken.

“haha… … .”

Isaac couldn’t believe that Hyannis would even think of fighting ‘that’.

The size of the head exposed at sea level seemed to be approximately 500 to 600 meters. Hidden beneath the surface is a much larger body and tentacles several times that size.

Just by the Drowned King lightly shaking his tentacles under the water, the fishmen were swept away by the current, crashing into each other and bouncing up to the surface. Isaac could feel their fate as they looked like they were fishing.

But that didn’t happen.

The Drowned King, who had gathered the fishmen together, watched them for a moment with his eyes shining with ultramarine blue. The fishmen soon felt that the movement of the ocean current began to relax. They hurriedly escaped from the sea prison that had imprisoned them and began to run away.

“Drowning King!”

Hyannis urgently clung to the railing and shouted. The Drowned King didn’t even turn his head, but his eyes were so huge that it seemed like he was watching wherever he went.

“We have to catch them!”

[Why ■■?]

The moment the Drowned King answered, it felt like the sea was boiling. It seemed as if each boiling bubble contained the voice of the Drowned King. The pronunciation was imprecise and difficult to understand, but just because he expressed doubt, Hyannis could sense his will.

“They attacked believers!”

Isaac was shocked to see Hyannis brazenly appealing to the subject who had come to attack the Drowned King, but he soon understood his intention.

Hyannis was suspicious that the attack by the fishmen was not the Drowned King’s intention.

In fact, the Drowned King silently let the fishmen go. He answered only when the fishmen disappeared beyond the ocean.

[Those people are fire■■ people.]

The Drowned King soon turned his gaze towards the boat. But then his eyes met Isaac. For a moment, Isaac felt as if his ultramarine blue eyes were burning.

But that feeling did not last long, and the Drowned King slowly looked away again.

***

When Isaac came back on board, he noticed that the crew’s gaze had changed. If before he had felt disapproving and reluctant to be on board the ship, now he was filled with awe and respect.

‘Of course, that awe and respect cannot be compared to that octopus over there… … .’

Isaac smiled bitterly and thought as he glanced at the Kraken, which was quietly silent beneath the surface of the water. The Drowned King came to rescue believers of the same faith, but quietly disappeared beneath the surface when Hyannis asked for a moment. However, he was still casting a black silhouette beneath the sea, showing that he had not left.

In fact, it seemed like the reason he didn’t argue or talk to Hyannis was because of communication difficulties.

‘He was clearly speaking in archaic language… … .’

It was the same language spoken by the nameless chaotic beasts that came from the afterlife. The difference is that while the nameless beasts of chaos spoke entirely in archaic language, the Drowned King’s accent and pronunciation, although perhaps new, was closer to modern language.

Strangely enough, Isaac could understand everything.

‘They are poor people, you say?’

What is the reason why the salt council’s angel sympathizes with the fishmen who were hunting his followers?

Considering that many of the fish people live as pirates, the relationship between them and the Salt Council seems to be hostile.

“Holy Grail Knight, I’m glad you’re safe!”

Hyannis rushed over and opened her arms as if to embrace Isaac. But he pushed away the little hug from the boy he didn’t think he was that close with and got right into the important topic.

“Why don’t you talk to the Drowned King right away?”

“that is… … As you may have heard, communication is not smooth. Until then, it was usually the case that the Drowned King would convey his opinion unilaterally, and we would bring it to the council and interpret it. “But this time we need to talk, so I think we’ll have to wait for another ship.”

“I will meet with the lawmakers and have a conversation with real-time interpretation.”

“yes. “I think we’ll meet again soon.”

The group of ships, unable to tell whether they had come to help Hyannis or catch her, had gotten quite close. When the Drowned King appeared, about 1/3 of them ran away, but that was natural. If Hyannis has already started assassinating the Drowned King, it would be better for his health not to be near him.

“Salt Council Chairman, Captain Yenkos is an expert on gore. Although it is not at the level of real-time interpretation. Even though your opinion is completely opposite to mine, you still want to check whether what the Holy Grail Knight said is true or not.”

Isaac says that the Drowned King did not ask for human sacrifice. His disagreement with Hyannis meant that he was on the side of helping the drowned king, even if it meant sacrificing a human being, but Isaac wasn’t too worried. Because he had confidence in himself.

“I don’t think we need a gore expert.”

“yes? But to find out what the Drowned King’s true intentions are… … .”

“I can interpret it myself. “Let’s try speaking and delivering in real time.”
