nChapter 64 – Galadriang’s Relic (2)

nKururururk.

nHansoo ripped off the covering on his Forgotten Sword as soon as he sunk into the water.

nKuaaaaaak.

nThen all the Kukuljas, who had been chasing him from the scent of the blood, were frightened as they ran away in all directions.

nAnd in the place they had run to, there was another target.

nBut Hansoo didn’t care for such a thing as he started to swim away madly.

nIf that guy was someone who he could kill with the Kukuljas then he would’ve done so above the lake.

nBoooom!

nAnd as he expected, an intense heat wave exploded out from above the lake.

n

nTens of Kukuljas were roasted in an instant.

nThe power of that attack could be estimated to a degree from the fact that the ones underwater had become like that.

nHansoo, who had covered himself with the Demonic Dragon’s Reinforcement, extended out the Magic Force of the reinforcement and then created it into the shape of the webbed feet of a duck.

nHe then flapped his arms and legs and quickly started to head downwards.

nDeeper and deeper.

nSo that the attacks above the water wouldn’t reach him.

nThen soon the toxic water that Hanoo was swimming through started to boil.

n‘He’s following.’

nHe knew even without looking.

nSince the heat was slowly approaching towards Hansoo.

nHansoo stabbed the wooden pipe he had prepared into the .

nChuuuuuuk

nThen the air he had gathered previously started to come into Hansoo through his mouth.

nHe had to breathe.

n‘Tsk. It’d be nice if I had a survival type skill.’

nSurvival type skills, or artifacts with survival type skills applied onto made it easier to adjust to extreme environments.

nThey just were extremely hard to acquire.

nHansoo thought of the artifact on the neck of Kalz.

n

nAn artifact that boosted the survivability of one when they are underwater or about to faint.

nIf he has that thing then he can breathe under the waters.

n‘Follow well.’

nHansoo breathed air as he searched for the path.

n‘There should be traces around here…’

nFinding the exit was easy.

nSince the location where the adult fishes, and not the baby ones, are swimming meant that it was closer to the sea.

nAnd Hansoo had already looked over that location while creating the Kukulja Heart Extract.

nIf you follow the traces of the adult Kululjas then the path leading to the sea would come out.

nKwaaaaaaa.

nAt that moment an extreme amount of heat was directed towards Hansoo.

nKurururu.

nHansoo frowned at the intent of the heat that was trying to boil him alive.

nSince he felt the Magic Force of the Demonic Dragon Reinforcement being taken off in chunks.

n‘It would’ve been dangerous if I fought him above the water.’

nThe only reason why this was possible was because he was being chased under the water.

nOtherwise his skin would’ve been cooked red in an instant.

nHansoo didn’t slow down his swimming speed as he swung the formless whip behind him.

nThe waves that were transmitted through the liquid told Hansoo numerous things.

nHe could guess the guy’s location to a degree without looking back.

nNo, the flapping of the Kukuljas surrounding him told the exact location of that guy.

nPaaat.

nThe formless whip with the power applied to it flew backwards.

nBooom!

nThe Magic Force of the Demonic Dragon’s Reinforcement collided with his skill and created a huge force wave.

nThankfully, the reinforced whip was able to penetrate Kalz’s Magic Force and skills and succeeded in creating a very minute injury.

n‘Thankfully it’s a Reinforcement of the Inferno type.’

nInferno type Reinforcement’s offensive powers were extremely high in comparison to other reinforcements but their defenses were a bit lacking.

nAnd as if Kalz’s skills were the same as that, his defensive skill masteries were a bit low and were of lower quality.

nPasasak.

nThe applied to his injury started to madly course through the injury and started to widen it.

nAnd as the injury got wider, blood started to pour out and the Kukuljas who smelled the blood under the water started to madly rush towards him.

nKuduk.

nKalz Moren clenched his teeth while swimming and then gathered a large amount of the power of Reinforcement on this hands.

nThen he singed his injury.

nChiiik.

nBlood squirmed around as it tried to come out but there was no way to since he had forcefully signed the injury and closed it up.

nThe power of the hemorrhage tried to constantly widen the injury but Kalz Morenn smashed the skulls of the Kukuljas swarming towards him as he pulled out the pieces of bone, used them as needles as he stabbed them in between his injuries and then singed it again.

nHansoo clicked his tongue as he looked at that sight.

n‘That’s one tough guy.’

nDoing such a thing meant that he had no intentions of going back up.

nThe will that wanted to catch him no matter what.

nKalz Morenn, who had closed the injury to an extent, stepped on the Kukuljas rushing towards him as he tried to get closer to Hansoo.

n‘Shall I give him a few more presents.’

nHansoo pulled out a few Ghweche seeds from his pouch as he stabbed them through with his whip.

nLike a skewer.

nAnd before the seeds could puff up he swung the whip and threw them towards Kalz Morenn who was trying to approach him.

nThis time, he applied instead of .

nSince it was a bit hard to use them both at the same time.

nIt was too inefficient and too mana-costly to use both Power Destruction and Hemorrhage when his attack wasn’t a direct attack.

nKoooong.

nKalz Morenn clenched his teeth as he saw the whip flying towards him again.

nHe had to block it no matter what.

nIt’ll become very troublesome if he were to keep getting injured by that vicious object.

nKurururu.

nKalz Morenn brought his defensive skill to the limit as he poured the flame of the Magic Force towards the whip.

nIf the Magic Force of the attack was the same as before then it will melt against his flame.

nBut Kalz Morenn was shocked at that actually happened.

nShrururuk.

nThe flame of the Magic Force disappeared as if it was erased.

nHansoo’s whip had become weaker as if it was also affected by the skill but it was still flying towards him.

nSoon the whip broke through his defensive skill like it was glass and then penetrated his body.

nPushushuk.

n‘Goddamnit! What the hell is this!’

nDid he have to get stabbed through like this constantly!

nBut Kalz Morenn, who had been hit by the whip with a nervous expression, suddenly made an evil smile.

n‘Ah I see. It seems that he can’t use both skills at the same time.’

nThe whip that was weakened from his skill and attack was weak enough for him to tough it out with his resistances.

nAs long as that damned Hemorrhage didn’t come at him then an attack of that level wouldn’t be able to threaten him.

nBut even before Kalz could finish his thoughts, something started to puff up between his armors like underneath his arms.

n‘Uuk?’

nKalz Moren was flustered momentarily at his body that started to rise up suddenly.

nThen he grinded his teeth as he found out the identity of the object that was making him rise up.

n‘Ghweche Seeds. This damned bastard… he prepared things like this as well?’

nAnd for him to be able to store this underwater meant that he had already done some things to the seed.

nWhich meant that Hansoo had led him under the water after he had already planned the underwater as the stage they would have the fight.

n‘Kuuuuk.’

nKalz Morenn glared at Hansoo after ripping off the Ghweche balloons.

nThe distance between them that he had closed had been returned to what it was before due to him having risen for a moment.

nAnd the Kukuljas were weirdly not approaching Hansoo and were only madly charging against him.

n‘If I catch him… I can kill him if I catch him!”

nThis was clear no matter what tricks Hansoo had up his sleeves.

n‘You Bitch. I’m going to keep chasing you!.”

nHe felt like he would really go crazy if he backed off here.

nBut the thing that made him mad was a different emotion.

n‘Afraid? I’m afraid of this guy? A newcomer?’

nIt wasn’t that Hansoo himself was scary.

n‘Fuck… I don’t know what else he has prepared.’

nHansoo had led him towards the Lake and had completed the preparation to fight him in it.

nWhich meant that Hansoo had already estimated that he would follow him and as well as the fact that he would jump under the water.

nThis meant that Kalz was running around in the palm of Hansoo’s hands.

nAnd Hansoo was not afraid of Kalz at all.

nWhich meant that Hansoo was confident enough to either run away from him or even kill him if he were to follow him till the end.

n‘I cannot agree on this!’

nKalz Morenn quickly went up to the surface of the water and then started to run atop of it. (*TL : IT’S JESUS)

n‘Move quickly on top of the water, get above him and then catch up by diving down!’

nThis was just a lake and there was a limit to its depth.

nSince he had found out his direction and movements, he would be able to chase him much faster if he were to chase from above.

nBut Kalz Morenn frowned after running for a bit.

n“Fuck…”

nA giant mountain that was blocking his path.

nA mountain was standing between the lake and the sea.

n‘I’m going in’.

nIf he were to climb over the mountain then he might be lose him on the entrance of the underwater passage that could be anywhere.

nBut Kalz Morenn flinched the moment he tried to jump into the underwater passage.

nSince he felt that something was different.

nThen his expression crunched up as he felt the area around his neck.

n“This son of a bitch!!!!!”

nKalz Morenn screamed out in rage after getting his , which as almost as precious as the , stolen from him but he could not go down to the dark underground of the lake.

nSince going through the underwater passage, which he didn’t know the length of, while not being able to breathe was almost the same as committing suicide.

nKalz Morenn’s expression, which was covered by rage and agitation, started to get colder and scarier.

nAnd soon Kalz Morenn started to quickly run on top of the water as if he had determined on something.

n……………………………………………………….

n“Huuoop!”

nHanso who sticked his head out of the sea surface after getting out of the lake, took a deep breath and then looked around his surroundings.

n‘Let’s see. Though he might be pissed off quite a bit… he won’t be able to chase.’

nHe was quite a distance away from the boat.

nHansoo quickly ran along the shore and then jumped into the sea after arriving at the spot where he had sunk the boat.

nPlonk.

n‘It’s nice.’

nHansoo made a content expression as he put on the Ahol Breath’s that he had stolen with the whip onto his neck.

nHis reaction speed and movements will increase greatly from this.

nA human could die no matter how high their runes were if they didn’t have the necessary elements but this thing filled up that spot.

n‘There isn’t much difficulty in breathing.’

nHansoo threw away the pipe and then continued downwards.

nBubble bubble.

nAfter a while the large boat that he had sunk could be seen.

nAn enormous boat that was not possible to raise with the abilities of a human.

nBut there was a way.

nPongpong.

nHansoo filled up all the passages that led towards the deck with the Arun Wood planks.

nAnd then he poured all the Ghweche seeds within his pockets out.

nRumble.

nThe Ghweche seeds that were released inside the boat started to suck up the boats at an extreme speed.

nPuaaaaaaak.

nThe volumes of the seeds started to increase very rapidly.

nHansoo retrieved the Arun Wood planks and Kelk mucus sacs and then quickly came outside the boat.

nBubble bubble bubble.

nThe toxic waters that filled the boat started to pour out of the holes after getting pushed back by the puffed up Ghweche seeds.

nAnd soon the area below the deck was filled with tens of thousands of Ghweche balloons.

nKududududuk.

nThe boat that had sunk deep within the sea started to make large noises as it started to rise up.

nHansoo quickly got onto the rising boat and grabbed onto the controls.

nThen the boat started to turn under Hansoo’s controls even while underwater.

nThis was pretty simple since it was a boat with the fairy’s magic applied to it.

n‘Since there might be people around, I’ll raise it after I get a bit far away.’

nThe 500 man boat moved quite a distance while rising up to the surface and by the time it had come above the surface it was quite a distance away from the shore.

nHansoo fixed below the boat with the Arun Wood and Kelk Mucus Sacs, shrugged his shoulders and, pulled a few Ghweche Balloons to control the buoyancy of the boat and then started head towards the location where he told Camille that he would meet her.

n‘Time to go catch it.’

nThe preparations were complete.

n‘He will have to follow right? After getting robbed by a newcomer like this?’

nHansoo laughed coldly as he thought of the Cruise ship that was somewhere in the distance.

n……………………………………….

nGyesoo made a shocked expression after seeing the mess Kalz Morenn had become when he came back.

nDid he turn like this while going against that newcomer?

n‘What is this. He was mocking me for it.’

nSmirks tried to rise up from within but Gyesoo quickly maintained his expression.

nThe moment he does this then he will get burnt to death.

nThough Kalz Morenn didn’t seem like he was that agitated, Gyesoo knew instinctively.

nThat the Kalz Morenn whose pride has been damaged greatly was the most dangerous.

nKalz Morenn looked at Gyesoo and the Quadratus as he spoke.

n“Let’s go to the Calamity FIsh.”

n“Pardon? That’s only after the Calamity Fish arrives here and eats the roots…”

nGyesoo made a confused expression.

nThere were 2 stages to the Calamity Fish tour.

nThe 1st stage where they watch the Calamity Fish gobble up the root.

nThe 2nd stage where they proceed inside the Calamity Fish up to a safe distance and then look around its insides.

n‘Well. That’s not really the goal of the tour to be exact.’

nThe reason why Gyesoo was still alive and why so many strong people were gathered was because of the 2nd stage of the tour.

nBut Kalz Morenn spoke with a cold expression.

n“No. We’re going now. I’ll take care of it. Let’s go. I’ll convince the other sightseers. Since they will be quite fed up by now.”

n“…”

nGyesoo and the Quadratus could not say anything due to Kalz Morenn saying this with an expression that told them that he will rip them apart if they were to disagree.

n………………………………………….

n“Hmm…”

nCamille stared at the distant sea from the promised location.

n‘…He’ll bring the ship to this location?’

nCamille thought of the last words Hansoo had said during their conversation.

n

n

nThe insides of the Calamity Fish were quite complex due to many organs being tangled up with another.

nHer guidance was needed to proceed on the safe and easy routes.

nHansoo replied to those words.

n

n‘What is he thinking of.’

nCamille thought of the second attempt that she had with Gyesoo.

nWhen they almost died because they made a wrong turn after going in without knowing anything.

nThat path was indeed very fast but also very dangerous.

n‘Did he find someone to help him somewhere? It’ll still be very dangerous though.’

nCamille looked into the distant sea with a bitter expression.

n
