Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter]

The Black Serpent and White Serpent’s eyes shone.

A blue light shimmered on Drake’s body as he headed towards them.

One step at a time, each time I took a step toward the end of the deck, the light became darker.

“Stand back.”

Shaaaaa─────────!

It was only for a moment that the Black Serpent’s head popped open.

In an instant, the teeth flew all the way to Drake’s body.

“Aaaah! Drake—!”

“I ordered you to stand back. “Swald.”

Shin Na-ra screamed in surprise and Ki-jeong panicked at the sound, but nothing happened to Drake, who was actually involved.

One word to step back.

It was a Serpent whose pupils were larger than Drake’s head, but it was looking straight into Drake’s eyes and giving orders.

Shit- sshaaa───.

The Black Serpent seemed frozen in the air and could not move.

What was surprising was what happened after that.

“Go away.”

When the blue light emanating from Drake’s body turned almost pale blue, the Black Serpent twitched his eyes and began biting his head again.

“Hvit. You too, step back. “As my father’s son, I will not tolerate anything that comes any further.”

Shaaaa…

The same was true for White Serpent.

As the Black Serpent retreated, the White Serpent also began to move its body in the sea, increasing the distance between it and the New-Serpent.

“Kitkit—! Leeha! “What, what are you doing!”

“Attack, Serpen-Takyut! Sink the ship right now!”

The fishmen splashed and splashed in the water and shouted at the serpents, but the serpents showed no response.

In the midst of the chaos, Drake turned around again and approached Kijeong.

“Haaa… Haaa…”

“Are you okay?”

“Hehe, I can’t even see the achievement window- hehe, I can’t see it… Haaa.”

If you make a hole in black drawing paper with a needle and hold it in front of your eyes, you will get a viewing angle similar to the current one.

This means that almost nothing is visible.

Drake looked pitifully at him, floundering and not even able to maintain his balance.

“Wow- wow-”

Teook…

Ki-jeong flinched at the sudden touch on the back of his arm, but before he could react, Drake had already pressed his shoulder.

“Stand carefully. Well, just go back… slowly…”

Drake, with a somewhat touched expression, supported Ki-jeong and helped him move to a safe place.

Even Kraven users would not have seen Drake’s expression like this. No, it wasn’t just the facial expression.

When the blue light began to fade, the users of the Marlin could not see clearly how Drake’s face, hands, and legs were changing due to the distance, and Ki-jeong could not see because his vision was blocked.

By the time Ki-jeong’s body was leaned against the main mast, Drake was quite far from his human appearance.

“It must have been fate that this happened. “I never thought it would survive Svald and Hvit’s attacks.”

It is nearly impossible to withstand the Serpent’s attack for 3 minutes.

Drake believed this based on universally valid assumptions.

There is no way that a human could survive being attacked by Svald, Hvit, Black Serpent, and White Serpent for 3 minutes.

But Ki-jeong did it.

Through two factors that Drake could not think of: the legendary sword given by Leeha and Kijeong’s own ability to maximize the sword’s abilities.

“yes? What-”

“No. Perhaps I also entrusted my resolve to you…”

If there had been no sword, Ki-jeong would have definitely died.

If that were the case, Drake would not have been able to complete his current ‘transformation’, and the Black Serpent and White Serpent would not have followed his orders either.

This means that there was also a possibility that Drake himself would die.

Because Kijeong was successful, Drake was also able to survive.

Nevertheless, Ki-jeong could not accurately understand the way he was looking at her, and the complex and nuanced voice he was making, whether happy or sad.

This is because Ki-jeong has not yet seen Drake’s ‘appearance’.

“Now leave it to me. Because of my promise to ‘my king’… Even if I never see you, humans, again, I will finish this matter.”

Drake, who had been looking at the battered Ki-jeong for a long time, finally made up his mind.

Even though I couldn’t see properly, I could feel that Drake’s voice was beginning to gain strength.

“Captain… sir?”

“Open your mouth.”

“yes? Moo-oof!”

Before Kijeong could ask anything, Drake grabbed Kijeong’s cheek.

Ki-jeong was once again horrified by the ‘cold’ feeling that touched his cheek, but he could not pull away.

“Whoa, whoa, hehe, what is this?”

That wasn’t the only sensation that scared me.

The feeling of something suddenly dripping in your mouth is so strong that even if you struggle, it’s not strange!

It felt like he was going to vomit, but Ki-jeong managed to open his mouth without closing it and received ‘something’ with his mouth.

“Swallow.”

gulp…

“Kahak, fuu, even if you don’t tell me to swallow it, I’m going to get swallowed anyway— um… ?”

Kijeong’s eyes, which seemed to have been covered with dark drawing paper, suddenly became brighter.

There was no way he, a tank, would not know that his HP was fully restored. Not even Saint Raphael could restore his HP in such a short period of time. It was natural for an ecstatic smile to appear on Kijeong’s lips.

“wow! What kind of recovery- eeeeee───────?!”

Papa papa pap!

But that smile didn’t last long.

As soon as Kijeong saw Drake in front of him, he quickly crawled backwards like an insect to increase the distance.

It has to be that way. This is because Ki-jeong mistakenly thought that the person in front of him was a monster.

“Mermaid?! No, a mermaid—no, a mermaid? What? no… Captain Drake?”

What Kijeong saw was Drake.

Drake, a ‘mermaid’ who shed his human form, is the son of the sea god, a water spirit and a member of the Undine clan.

* * *

“Hakiiiiit, hakyuuuut—!”

Paaat, paaat-!

The fishmen who urged and threatened the serpents were unable to achieve any results.

Now all that’s left for them is to step forward!

They simultaneously began to bounce onto the deck of the New-Serpent.

The fishmen seemed taken aback for a moment when they saw Drake transformed into a mermaid, but by the time their number increased to ten, fifteen, and twenty, all such hesitation had disappeared.

“Kyaha- mermaid?! Hakit, hakyu—mermaid—”

“Hakit, hakit! The appearance is different! If you’re a mermaid, your fighting ability is low—”

“Hakyuu! Hakyuu!”

As the fishmen rushed onto the deck with weapons in hand, Drake, who was still looking at Ki-jeong with sad eyes, stood up.

Certainly, her appearance was different from an ordinary ‘mermaid’.

‘Andersong and Sivrim were real mermaids. The upper body is human, the lower body is a fish. Those monsters called fishmen are just hideous figures with human arms and legs attached to the body of a fish… But Drake-‘

Is this the ‘Son of the Sea God’?

I was embarrassed at first, but when I came to my senses, I could feel the excitement.

He still wears human clothes and the New-Serpent’s ‘captain’ hat. Both the upper and lower body were human. It wasn’t like a half-and-half look like a mermaid.

It has the same body as a human, but its skin is raised like fish scales, and the tail fin that slightly protrudes from the back of its luxurious, fluttering coat is somewhat annoying.

However, it seemed to display a kind of majesty combined with the blue skin and inhuman scales.

And the ‘Son of the Sea God’ was not just unique in appearance.

“Hakikikiki—”

“Hakyu, hakyuut—!”

“Get out, you polluted impurities. 〈Hydro Cutter〉”

He didn’t even take out his sword. Casting didn’t take a particularly long time.

Drake simply raised his right arm diagonally, but a stream of pure white water spurted out from his hand.

“Leeha-” “Huh-”

It was some kind of sword.

The high-pressure water power that could cut through the strongest railway, all the fishmen running towards Drake were cut into pieces like mackerels in a traditional market.

“… omg…”

Kijeong remembered the first time he fought the fishman.

Even the ax wielded by Bantal, a descendant of the barbarian hero, could not cut them in half. This is because the fish-men’s scales were harder than they looked and had a strength greater than that of a tolerable golem.

‘But that… ‘Torn to pieces?’

Users of the Marlin also began to become aware of what was happening on the New-Serpent. But this wasn’t surprising yet.

“Swald. Hvit.”

Drake’s voice was very quiet, but the beings he called heard the call.

“no way…”

“Hey, look over there!”

[also. Have we gone back to that time?]

Kijeong, Shinnara, and Baylippus, who were dealing with the Kraken horde, also completely understood the situation.

Siiiiii… !

This was because the Serpents were approaching the deck of the New-Serpent and bowing their heads.

It was Drake’s final command that put an end to the situation.

“Clean up all the impurities in the sea.”

Shaaaaa────────────!

When Black Serpent Svald and White Serpent Hvit began to move, there was no longer anyone who could stop them.

“Hakiiii—!”

“Leeha, the Serpent’s control has been released!”

“The pilot is dead! Run away – hakyuut -! Run away -”

Tail slapping, biting, throwing, gathering in front of their mouths and releasing ‘Drake-like skills’ Hydro Cutter, paralysis that freezes the running fishmen, Dispel that removes the fishmen’s magic, etc.

“… “What the hell?”

The onslaught that had been pouring down on him just moments ago was now viewed from the same perspective.

Even though Ki-jeong was happy, he couldn’t hide his somewhat bitter feeling.

Now that the Black Serpent and the White Serpent have joined in, the Krakens running from the bottom of the sea are no longer an obstacle.

Of the hundred fishmen and fourteen kraken, less than ten in total escaped alive.

It had only been 20 minutes since Drake, the ‘Son of the Sea God’, revealed his majesty.

* * *

All the users of the Marlin and New-Serpent were now gathered on the deck of the New-Serpent.

The fact that Bo-bae looked like she was about to shed tears and called Ki-jeong’s name as soon as she came out of the cabin was nothing more than a simple incident.

“… Captain Drake?”

“Holy shit, what is this-” This

is because the users couldn’t come to their senses as they saw Drake’s appearance, which was different from both a mermaid and a fishman.

“Now what… “Do you?”

Someone spoke, but no one could answer.

One by one, the eyes of users began to focus on the New Continent expedition leader.

Alexander felt eyes focused on him and then looked at Drake and asked.

“What do you want to do, Drake?”

“What can I do?”

Drake’s voice was somber.

He closed his coat, as if he was embarrassed to be seen like this by other users.

“anything. “It was you, Drake, who saved us from this crisis.”

“Yes, ‘Son of the Sea God’. “Isn’t the Serpent waiting over there also following your orders?”

Following Alexander, Bailippus also spoke.

User expectations have risen somewhat.

If only those Serpents would join us on this journey! From now on, there will be nothing to be afraid of, no matter what!

“… I can’t be with you.”

“Why is that so?”

“Because I promised that I would only be with humans when I was human.”

“What is that-”

“That is my contract with the king. “Please tell me I’m sorry.”

Drake looked at Alexander and Bailippus once, then looked away.

What caught his eye was another NPC still at the helm of the Marlin.

Burke didn’t look at Drake or ask him any questions, which made Drake’s expression somber.
