***

An endless sea.

A sailboat rented at the port was plowing through the currents of the ocean.

The captain said that we would reach our destination in about 5 kilometers.

‘I guess I’ll have to wear armor soon.’

What Queen Isabella is looking for is her mother’s necklace.

Her mother was shipwrecked five years ago.

He suffered an accident while performing a religious ceremony on a boat with numerous believers in the middle of the sea.

The queen’s mother was a pagan leader.

The queen was a high-class dancer who was secretly sought after by high-ranking nobles.

My mother was buried under the sea with the necklace she was wearing. Why is it a necklace and not my mother’s ashes?

The queen is by no means a dutiful daughter who misses her mother and tries to get her keepsakes.

The necklace was a treasure with mysterious powers.

I don’t know what kind of ability it has or the secret of its power.

Only the queen knows.

My role is simply to listen to the client’s request.

Finding out about unnecessary things will only endanger your life.

“Is this the armor you got last week?”

“Yes, does it suit you?”

After changing into my armor and leaving the room, I ran into Sophia standing in the hallway.

She was just following me around because I was the only person she knew on the boat.

“It has green scales all over its armor, and its webbed feet and fins… You look like a fishman.”

“I guess it’s written to tell me to swim quickly in the water. Unlike regular armor, it is elastic and light.”

I chatted with her and went out to the deck together.

Suddenly, a large sailing ship appeared in front of our boat.

It was anchored in the sea and not moving.

That was the position I wanted.

“Who are you! This is our area, so get the hell away!”

Someone shouted from the other boat.

‘Are they adventurers?’

I walked towards the stern.

“I am Kang Naru from the Thunderfield Guild! We are working in this area under orders from the great Queen Isabella!”

“Kang Naru? Are you talking about that lame hero Kang Na-ru?”

Laughter was heard from the other boat.

Soon, a familiar figure appeared, twirling a dagger with one hand.

“Hey, Kang Naru! It’s been a while!”

His name is Setad.

He was leading a famous mercenary group called the Iron Fist Brothers.

From the looks of it, all the people on board seemed to be his subordinates.

“I am also searching this area under the queen’s orders! I came first, so you can go away! Hahaha!”

My eyebrows twitched.

Surely, I sent a letter saying I would rescue him.

Still, it seems the queen ordered several people to do this.

Whoever saves the day first is the winner?

The woman.

I made a mistake in the way I requested the request.

“Then whoever finds it first gets it!”

Setad chuckled.

“Let’s do it?”

“You and I have both received orders from the queen, so we are qualified! What can I do! The one who finds it first is the owner!”

“Looking at your stomach, it looks like you’re alone? Can he really defeat us alone?”

As if to show off their power, the Iron Fist brothers crowded into the ship’s railing and shouted in unison or shouted violent slogans.

“Guys! I don’t care if you stab that guy in the sea or not! If you see it, just destroy it!”

“Yes!”

“Get away from me before they hit you, you bastards! We marked this place first!”

The Iron Fist brothers threatened with swords.

The captain approached with a worried expression and asked.

“What are you going to do?”

no method.

The Iron Fist brothers are known for being rough, and I was worried about the safety of everyone, including Sophia, who would be on the boat while I was underwater.

“I’ll step back. Let’s give this seat to those people.”

The ship was moved as far away as possible to another location.

As soon as the ship docked, I immediately put on a helmet with fins on both ears and got ready to dive.

Finally, I looked back at Sophia.

“I will go.”

“They say that if you die in the sea, your soul cannot go to the afterlife and is tied to the sea forever. So please don’t die and come back.”

Looking at the queen’s mother, that doesn’t seem to be wrong.

I shrugged.

“Yes.”

Soon he fell into the sea.

As I sank into the water, I had an amazing experience.

The sea princess’s skin armor worn on her body began to change like a fish in water.

The metal and leather of the armor merged with the body and became skin.

My skin itself.

There was no sense of heterogeneity.

My whole body turned emerald green, and in the blink of an eye I became a fishman living in the sea.

His appearance was so perfect that even the Dragon King was fooled.

“Awesome… ?”

I tried to touch the face that had changed beyond recognition and then swam in the water.

It is also possible to breathe underwater.

It is also possible to wiggle and move its fin ears on its own.

It is also possible to swim at incredible speeds, faster than sharks.

Web webs appeared between the fingers, and the penis was hidden inside the body like a whale, but when erect, it extended out of the body.

Everything was great.

“The swimming test is over, now all that’s left is… ”

Let’s go find the necklace.

I immediately swam quickly in a straight line, making a splash.

***

“Drink when you’re ready!”

“Water breathing potion is expensive, so don’t leave a drop!”

“When you’ve finished drinking, go in!”

with a plop!

with a plop! with a plop!

The iron fist brothers wearing wetsuits jumped from the boat.

Setad was looking at the scene seriously.

After meeting Naru, the smile on his face had disappeared.

“Kang Naru… ”

One day, I watched Naru hunting up close.

His skill in chopping up a mighty monster was astounding.

I was literally thrilled.

I couldn’t keep my mouth shut, thinking that there are people like that.

From then on, I became interested and kept watching him.

But that was it.

He flashed for a moment and was soon forgotten by people.

At the same time, he became distant from his own interests.

however… We met today.

Suddenly, suddenly.

Since I knew the guy’s skills well, I was nervous because I thought I would lose what I was aiming for.

All I could think about was to rush in with all my heart.

“The queen’s bitch messed things up like hell.”

Setard grumbled and gulped down the two-hour water breathing potion.

I threw away the empty bottle and jumped into the sea.

Thirty men swimming in the sea.

We divided the area and searched it thoroughly.

‘It must be somewhere around here.’

By exchanging hand signals, we narrowed down the search area.

About 30 minutes later, news finally came that the wreck had been discovered.

‘I won!’

Setad grinned, water droplets coming out of his mouth.

-This way.

I followed my men to the place where the shipwreck was.

Eventually, when we reached the target point, we were finally able to find the broken ship.

Everyone smiled brightly and gave a thumbs up.

Tonight, I’m going to have fun with alcohol and women in both hands.

-Find the necklace.

-four.

-yes.

It was when Setad gave instructions to his subordinates with hand signals.

Shirik.

Something that cuts through the water quickly.

An ominous sound that seemed to evoke the fear of the deep sea was heard from all directions.

Immediately after that, several of his subordinates lost their lives in tears.

There was a long tentacle penetrating his chest.

-You’re a fucking monster!

-Everyone, get ready to fight!

There was a crazy bitch walking around with ten tentacles.

Her upper body was that of a middle-aged woman, and her hair was long and wavy like seaweed, floating all at once.

The pupils are pitch black.

The whites of the eyes were not visible.

The skin of the entire body was decayed and took on a dark blue color.

-She has a necklace around her neck, right?

Setard’s eyes widened.

He sensed that the necklace the monster was wearing was the necklace he was looking for.

It was then.

-Kaaaa!

As the monster opened its mouth and unleashed an unknown amount of magic, wave-like waves spread out in all directions.

When it touched the body, the subordinates all froze on the spot.

My body was trembling, weighed down by a huge sense of fear.

Other than that I couldn’t do anything.

Even the mercenary leader Setard, who had been through all sorts of hardships, found it impossible to move his body.

‘This, this…’ No way, pressure… ?’

Feeling as if paralyzed.

But I’m not paralyzed.

All I could do was panic for a moment and not know what to do.

It was a terrifying technique that terrified the opponent for several minutes.

‘Don’t be funny. I can’t afford it… !’

The setad tried to resist, but couldn’t move.

I couldn’t move a single finger.

‘Ugh! Shit!’

At this level, it was clear that it was no ordinary monster.

He is the king of monsters.

It was very powerful, at the level of a monarch.

Why is something like that here?

I should have looked into it more!

If I had prepared well, I wouldn’t have encountered pressure like this!

‘conceit… did.’

The moment he clicked his tongue and regretted it, a tentacle came through his mouth and came out of his anus.

Setter’s eyes rolled over and his body went limp.

One after another, tentacles flew out from all directions.

Even the subordinates around him were pierced through their bodies one after another and died.

“Gagging… !”

Pogrrrr.

The moment the tentacle left the body, sea water rushed into my mouth.

That last moment.

Setad floated in the water and looked.

In a hazy vision that slowly closes.

From afar, we saw the head of a monster caught off guard by us being cut off.

It was amazing.

Was there anyone else?

ah… !

It was difficult to see the face, but I got a general feel for it.

Setard knows.

That sword that just cut the monster’s head cleanly.

The name of that sword that shines brightly even in the water is Lanser.

The owner…

‘Kang Naru… ! Did he know how to use pressure and use us as bait? !’

With that thought in mind, Setad died.
