Chapter 295 – Diamond Rank Battle
The eight-legged monster that was rising from the bottom of the glacier cliff was in despair as it looked at the approaching ship.
-Thump.!!
[Number 102. Obtain 150 essence points.]
[This creature was first discovered by an unlucky team. First Collection. The initial acquisition amount is doubled.]
[Re-entry team: 770 points]
[Noisy Team: 460 points]
“Wow.”
We turned things around by scoring 300 points in one go.
As expected from Aphrodite, grade A collections brought a lot of points.
“They give me a lot of points… By the way…”
I looked under the boat.
“What is this ship.! How did they summon such a large energy vehicle.! What! It’s different from the information I saw!”
The cries of the enemy team that had lost their prey were heard from underneath the ship.
I agreed with what he said and nodded.
‘That’s right, why did a ship come out of the spirit sphere?’
I became curious when I saw the huge sailing ship beneath my feet.
The first thing I thought of after using the Spirit Dragon Fist was that the enemy team was riding a bike. When it passed in front of me, all I could think was that I wanted to ride something similar.
‘Could it be… That thought became reality?’
It was an incident I didn’t expect.
‘Is it because Cheongryong traveled with me to read a lot of newspaper articles from around the world? Since when did I become able to write things like this?’
Cheongryong was just an ordinary spirit who liked stories.
I didn’t expect much and took her with me with the intention of using her as a house cleaner.
But I can’t believe I got this kind of power.
“Maybe it’s because we spent a lot of time together.”
It seemed that Cheongryong was now too strong to be used as a cleaner.
Even Hyeonmu, a member of the spirit race, could be seen to be surprised.
“Oooh… So now I’m going to become the spirit that makes the story come true. Blue Dragon.”
The magnitude of that feeling is such that it feels like Hyeonmu is truly envious.
That small, young water spirit has grown so much.
Now, I thought I could just throw away the janitor… No… Just use it as a janitor in a different sense.
For the purpose of cleaning up enemies.
“Okay. I’m going to collect other collectibles like this.”
Since Cheongryong has become stronger, I have also gone from being a twig to a captain of a ship.
It happens to be a world made of snow and ice. There were limitations to moving on foot.
I thought that if I had a vehicle like this, I would be able to find collectibles more quickly.
“Aphrodite, where is your next collection?”
“Just move along the glacier cliff on the right.”
“I understand.”
The boat moved according to the direction I thought in my head.
Perhaps because one of my abilities was piloting, moving a huge ship wasn’t much of a problem.
We crossed the snowy area and moved to the coordinates given by Aphrodite.
“At the end of the glacier cliff. A huge movement is detected in the sea. And the enemy team follows.”
“Ugh.! I will follow to the end and get back what was stolen!”
Just as Aphrodite said, a bodysuit man on a bike was following my sailboat, muttering something to himself.
Although he was tracking me, the distance was gradually increasing.
It’s literally a horsecar.
As the distance grew further, I felt like I didn’t have to worry so much about him.
“Hmm. Under the sea. I wonder if I can dive.”
In my head, I saw Cheongryong’s face nodding.
“Okay, diving mode.”
My first favorite horse, Suryongseon, went straight into the sea.
-Bubble…
As I entered the sea, a dark polar sea world unfolded where light was eating away.
“It’s over there.”
“Wow.”
A huge monster with an emerald shell.
It is similar to a giant crab.
Of course, the difference is that it had wing-like fins on its back, allowing it to swim freely in the sea.
“For a crab, it’s very beautiful.”
“The inhabitants of this planet call it the Onyxwing Crab. It is so rare that it was even called the king of the ice world in the past.”
“If you catch it, I’ll give you a lot of points. Great! You can hunt right away by yourself.”
It was then.
-Shuung. Boom!
An explosion occurred in the crab in front of me.
“Shh.! I’ll take it this time! Number 33!”
“That guy… He didn’t give up.”
“As far as tenacity is concerned, it is clear that he is at platinum level. Considering that he has advanced to the 3rd round, he appears to have potential.”
This guy appeared in a small submersible.
I smiled as I looked at the guy who followed me like a stalker.
‘I will never lose a hard-hitting fight.’
Me and the bodysuit man headed towards the crab monster where the torpedo exploded.
I crashed into the Water Dragon Ship just like before.
-Boom!!
I leisurely looked straight ahead amid the huge shaking.
“Oh.”
“It is a shell with considerable defense.”
I hit the crab monster with my water dragon ship at the same time as the torpedo shot fired by the full bodysuit, but the crab monster was fine.
-Krrr.
“Ahaha.”
-Whoop!!
Rather, the crab monster that had grown horns from my headbutt immediately swung its claws.
It was an incredible speed in the water.
“Uh oh!!”
It was impossible to avoid it because of the strong water pressure.
-Boom!!
In the end, the boat swayed, and the front part broke because of the dog.
“No! My water dragon ship.!”
I escaped from the water dragon ship as it was destroyed in half by one blow.
“It’s so hard that I need to enchant it to ignore defense…”
“It’s my car!”
A full bodysuit man intersecting with the sunken me.
He quickly approaches the crab monster.
The small submarine was released and began to strangely attach itself to his sniper rifle.
“Steyr gun mode for warships. Output 55%.79%…88%.”
-Jiiiii.!!
Seawater swirls around the barrel.
A tingling black electric shock occurred.
Due to the charging energy, the current became stronger and even a water whirlpool formed around it.
-Clap.
“100% confirmed. Come on! Shot!”
-Jiyuuung!!
A line of yellow light continued through the dark sea world.
A monster grab that penetrated the torso.
The two pincers trembled, and blood foam spewed out from the mouth.
“Crazy…”
“That weapon has the power of an Aegis space battleship. No matter how strong the biological carapace is, it will not be able to withstand the firepower of weapons developed through space science.”
[Number 9. Obtain 300 essence points.]
[This creature was first discovered by the Noisy team. First Collection. The initial acquisition amount is doubled.]
[Returning team: 820 points]
[Noisy Team: 1190 points]
Seeing a giant crab with its stomach pierced by a single beam of light, I had no choice but to grit my teeth.
***
-Shoo…
I escaped from the cold, frigid sea.
“I will chase you until the end!”
The guy in the bodysuit also followed me to the ground.
“Why do you keep following me?”
“That’s so our team can win. From the looks of it, you, number 33, seem to know where all the strong collectibles are. In that case, I will follow you until the end and interfere with you.”
Even after eating the 300-point monster crab earlier, he tried to follow me around to see if he was full.
“If you keep following me, I will just stay here.”
“Heh… It’s actually better. I believe that if I, the ace, stop you, my noisy teammates will keep the score on their own. Stay here with me until the game ends.”
“Eh. Ace? No way. You are number 8?”
“Now do you know that I am Ace? I have no eyes to see.”
“…”
I didn’t know until now, but this guy is number 8. He was the ace user of the noisy team.
“Number 8… You seem confident… I’m not the ace of our team.”
“No, you are right. Before the game started, the administrator told me that user number 33 was Ace.”
“What?”
When did I become an ace.?
“… No way.”
It seemed like Angel Convo was stripped of his ace position because he didn’t do much.
‘Damn… I never thought the Ace number would change during a ranked match.’
I couldn’t help but frown.
The bodysuit man saw that and laughed.
“Hehe. I guess Team Annoyance’s strategy starts with marking you at number 33.”
“It’s the same here too.”
“I guess so… But I trust my team. I gave them all the new equipment, so you will lose.”
The bodysuit man was confident and reloaded his sniper rifle.
So that even if I attack you, you can pull the trigger at any time.
[30 minutes remaining. The noisy team is ahead.]
This cannot be done. No matter what happens, you have to get away from him and score points.
If so. Without him knowing.
It’s stealth!
He immediately made it transparent and hid his body.
“It’s no use. Even if I can’t see you, I’ve saved all your scent and presence. You’re going to the left.”
“Such a crazy stalker.!”
They’re chasing me again.
No matter where I moved, it followed me like Aphrodite.
“Go away! I don’t like men!”
“Huh? I’m not a man. Furthermore, I’m a woman.”
“Wait. What?”
I ran away and stopped when I saw the bodysuit man.
And then I turned and looked at the guy who was like my shadow.
“A woman.? That’s funny. Just looking at her, she doesn’t have breasts!”
“Pervert is true to its title. How rude to a woman you meet for the first time.”
The bodysuit put his hands next to his black helmet.
Then his helmet disappeared, and his face was revealed.
“Gasp.!”
It’s a woman. With her short purple hair and purple eyes, she looked like a female agent of some organization.
“I have to do this to believe it. You’re duller than I thought.”
“How can I know when my whole body is covered?”
Until now, I thought she was the bodysuit man, but now I see she was the bodysuit girl.
If the stalker is a woman… She might be in a better mood than you think…
I thought so.
“Keuhum. Keuhum. I was rude earlier.”
“The tone of your voice changes a lot. You really like women. I don’t know if I like men that much. But, if you live like that, won’t women hate you?”
What I’m curious about is… It seems like there are more of this number 8 girls than there are of me. I received several questions at once.
“Well. Well. He probably understands that and likes me.”
“You’re confident. You’re also selfish and emotional. There’s something I don’t like about you. You say you really like a woman, but don’t you just throw her away when she’s out of sight?”
“… Hey. I’m right in front of that swearing person.”
“Oh, I see. I’m sorry. Furthermore, I didn’t mean to hurt my pride. As I was talking, I ended up going that far.”
“… You’re so talkative, but then men get tired and run away.”
“So you didn’t have a man? Hmm… I thought he loved you in some way.”
I don’t know anything else, but I know one thing for sure.
This bodysuit girl number 8 has a mental problem.
Of course, the problems and shortcomings seemed to be covered up by his outstanding persistence and skills.
If you only look at her strengths… She seems like a pretty attractive woman.
A beauty who lacks something by 2%.
I might be a little drawn to it because I want to make up for that lack of perfection.
“If we keep doing this, the noisy team wins. We get 40 points and advance to the next round. Finally, I have a chance to move up to diamond level. And that’s after overcoming an unlucky team that gets consecutive wins. I’m so cool. . And. That’s how. I became famous. And grew.”
It’s noisy. Really.
First, I tried to have a conversation, spilling half of my 8 words.
“There you are, number 8.”
“Huh? Why? Are you trying to run away again? It’s probably impossible?”
“I’m not going to run away. Why don’t we compete together, or rather, compete fairly like before?”
“What~ are you challenging me? You lost your Onyx Wing to my sniper gun earlier. Do you want to experience the same thing again? Of course, if you want, I can show you again.”
“It’s still 1 to 1. In return, I’ll find the collectibles for you. To be fair, you also get to help.”
“If you just follow along, you can get everything. Well, let’s just listen. Um… What is it? What is it? I’m sure it’s not like you want my body or anything like that, right?”
“No.”
“Then?”
“Lend me some weapons!”
“Weapon.?”
Girl number 8 looked at her sniper rifle, puzzled by her words.
