Chapter 140
# 140
140. Over the sea (4)
The base tour is over.
I gathered all the items for the attack and decided on the advance team to start the mission.
Me and Jenna Belquist Katio and Iolka.
Now, until the time to hunt comes, I just sharpen my knife.
The next day, I gathered all the members except Katio to the training center.
“…Whoops.”
Iolka is laughing at what is so good about it.
I continued talking ignoring it.
“When the mission starts, we pull the airship and find the statue of Goddess as quickly as possible.”
“And activates the blessing of the goddess, right?”
“Yes. With the current number of people, it won’t last long. The longer we drag, the more we’ll be at a disadvantage.”
Looking through Amkena’s log, I could see that there were 25 heroes available for the boss fight.
It was the same composition as the 30th floor.
“We have five bottles of mermaid tears. That means there are five people who will fight directly with the anchovies. The rest will be defending near the goddess statue.”
I looked around and said.
“The attack team is me, Jenna, Belquist, Nerissa, and Iolka. I’ll make it like this.”
“Will it be possible to fight in the water? It won’t be easy.”
I saw Iolka.
“Iolka, can you use the 4th level of fire magic underwater?”
“Once I got used to it on the ground. I can cut it off by the edge for up to 30 seconds. In the water… so…” ”
Tell me clearly.”
“Ha, I can!”
“good.”
Looking at the answer, it seems incomplete, but as long as you can write it, it’s fine.
I explained the position of the 1st party.
Nerissa and I, Belkist, are in charge of direct aggro of Anchovy from the front.
Jenna takes care of the bosses who may be near the boss and takes care of simple checks.
Finally…
“You are the attack.”
“…me?”
“Aren’t our attacks weak in the water?”
No matter how much equipment has been modified and trained, it is unavoidable that combat power is lower than that of the ground.
As long as the environment for magic is met, it can exert its power anywhere.
“If we make a gap, insert the magic. Can you do it?”
Iolka hesitated for a moment, then nodded with a firm expression.
“It’s not that I can’t afford it. I just need to raise the specs as much as possible within that.”
“all right.”
I ordered training.
I decided to omit all other training except for underwater training and have only a minimum of rest time.
Training time is approximately 20 hours per day. If it was the waiting room, he would have adjusted the time, but he was on a mission right now. There was no time to rest.
“It starts right away.”
I grabbed the sheath and stood up.
The water change in the pool was finished before I knew it.
‘The most important thing is…’
Except for Katio, the core of this battle was Iolka.
She will be in charge of the actual attack of the 1st party.
training has begun.
Iolka seems to have learned basic swimming in the waiting room.
He often splashed around and went back and forth on the rails. however.
“Magic isn’t easy.”
“First of all, you can’t sing in the water. You have to keep your mouth shut. And if you don’t go through the previous stages of elemental magic, the difficulty goes up several times.”
As I stayed still, Iolka spoke hastily.
“I’m not saying it’s not possible! It’s just that it takes time. Until you learn the silent chant.”
I opened Iolka’s stat window.
Multi-chanting and high-speed chanting are learned.
Casting magic on the ground was noticeably faster.
“I’ve learned all the theory. You just have to practice.”
“okay.”
“I can do it.”
Iolka pounded her chest confidently and went into the water.
It is to practice magic on a wooden doll in the water. But now there was only foam bubbling around the doll.
‘I still have to watch.’
I should be able to do my part.
After erasing my thoughts, I dived into the pool.
The red circle in the sea was gradually covering the entire field.
The airship slowly fell into the outskirts and we devoted ourselves to training day by day.
After another two days, Jenna and I were able to enter level 4 underwater combat.
After the skill level rose, I checked the 100m record right away, and I narrowly broke through the 40 seconds.
world record level. In a way, it was natural. It was because he easily exceeded the limits of the human body when he reached level 30. Dives of up to 10 minutes were possible with a handful of breaths.
After practicing underwater until late in the evening, from dawn, he devoted himself to martial arts outside the water.
“…after.”
I inhaled.
I filled my lungs halfway with air. I firmly gripped the hilt of my sword and applied strength to my toes. He swung his sword horizontally.
Bang!
There was an explosion and a V-shaped column of water gushed out.
He swung his sword and created wind pressure like a storm.
As the level goes up, the physical ability has exceeded human limits and continues to steadily improve.
Same goes for skill. Various passive skills, including swordsmanship, improved noticeably compared to when he had been to Niflheim.
but.
‘It’s embarrassing.’
I opened the stat window.
[Han Israt (★★★) Lv. 33(Exp 134/330)]
[Class: Warrior]
[Strength: 73/73]
[Intelligence: 10/10]
[Stamina: 66/66]

A total of twelve skills.
Three related to weapon technology. three related to the psyche. There are two types of tolerance. Three auxiliary skills. one guitar.
‘It’s not neat.’
Synergy skills are playing separately.
I didn’t throw away the shield and choose a greatsword.
A swordsmanship that focuses on destructive power. I took the concept early and developed myself.
‘Divine sword union and assault.’
Both were skills that added destructive power to sword attacks.
but don’t merge
‘Peace and madness.’
It was the same after the 5th floor.
It has strong efficacy, but the downside of weakening weapon skills is still there.
‘Not to mention the mind’s eye and indomitability.’
When the two skills are perfectly interlocked and merged, the performance improvement does not end at double.
at least three times. If you create more synergy, even more than ten times.
This is called breaking through the limits.
Breaking through the limits was a necessary process for a low-level hero with insufficient basic growth to cross the realm of a high-level hero. It was also the part I paid the most attention to when developing a hero. If done well, it can overwhelm the difference in stats.
‘There is no problem with the calculation…’
Once upon a time, the design of ‘Han Israat’ was completed.
A few troublesome problems were overcome with the help of Niflheim, but the most important awakening did not occur. At first I thought time would fix it, but…
Boom!
I swung my sword once more.
The waves split violently from side to side. Waves rose all over the pool along the cracks.
‘It can’t be like this after all.’
As it is, it will only become a 1st-star A with slightly superior talent.
There was no way he could reach the five people in Niflheim.
“…”
Even after going through countless battles and training, if there’s anything lacking…
I swung my sword without a break.
“Eh, oppa? Ugh!”
Jenna hesitated.
He was struck by water as he entered the training camp entrance.
“Why are you scooping the pool water with your sword?”
“It’s late. Aren’t you sleeping?”
I chuckled and threw the towel next to me.
Jenna picked up the towel and started wiping her wet hair.
“I can’t sleep, so I’m here to practice a little more. Oppa?”
“As you can see. I’m training.”
“Isn’t that enough? You’re already at the level of a human weapon.”
“A human weapon.”
Jenna continued.
“Split a ballista with a sword, slice through a thick block of iron, and scoop out pool water with a swing. If this isn’t a weapon, then what is it?”
“You can’t do this.”
I shook my head.
I fall far short of the goal I set to survive here.
“How much stronger do you want to become? Think of our hearts that follow you.”
“Daddy, that’s your job.”
I straightened my sword.
Practice isn’t over yet.
He was thinking of swinging his sword all night to clear his complicated mind.
“Mmm.”
Jenna thought of something and sprinted to the side.
“You seem to have a problem. Tell me.”
“I’m worried because I’m weak. Are you okay?”
“Wow, the deceit is so… I know how Aaron feels.”
Jenna sat down with her hips next to me.
Then he smiled and looked up at me. It looked like it was about to settle down.
“…”
I stopped my hand while taking a posture.
Could it be that Qina might be able to give us a clue to break through the wall?
Jenna has great insight and understanding. And
‘more than anything…’
This guy has already combined his skills.
Jenna got Sidewinder, a special skill that combines weakness spotting and rapid fire.
And he knew my skill status.
“Aha, the conditions seem to be right, but the skills don’t combine.”
After listening to the explanation, Jenna clapped her hands.
“It’s not as synergistic as I thought.”
“Can’t we use the situation when we get the skill?”
“What’s the situation when you get it?”
“Uh, so, was it on the 5th floor?”
I narrowed my eyes.
Situation when you get berserkness.
5th floor.
It was a mission to survive against thousands of goblins.
I survived by far, going to the brink of death.
“At that time, what should I say, my brother, very…”
“Extremely, what?”
“Crazy? You die or I die, like this.”
“It was.”
“But now I don’t feel that way. I should say I feel more secure.”
“That’s because I’ve accumulated experience and learned skills.”
after the 5th floor.
To be precise, there was no decisive crisis after the 15th floor.
20th, 25th and 30th floors. All of them were missions that I could easily clear with my own strength.
“My older brother used to fight more fiercely, but now he feels like a strategy machine.
“It’s a tough spell.”
I smiled bitterly.
Jenna’s advice was not far off from my analysis.
If we recall the 317 cases of breaking through the limits in Niflheim, 245 cases were during combat, 55 cases during training, and 17 other cases.
‘Does it mean forcibly creating a crisis situation?’
There is no choice.
It was a choice I hadn’t considered even when I was a Master.
I don’t want to endanger a party, no matter how talented the hero is, by driving it to the brink of annihilation. Even more so now that he has become a hero.
Jenna’s advice came to me in a different way, as I was only thinking of fostering from a master’s point of view, but that was all.
After analyzing the hero’s talents and characteristics, he trains the appropriate type of skill.
Up to this point, I was involved in training as a master.
Whether the flower blooms or fades is up to oneself.
‘…’
There must be another way.
I decided to think about it step by step.
‘Does the environment when you first acquire a skill affect your subsequent awakening?’
It was time to verify that Jenna’s words were correct.
Pretty cool theory. If I were the Master, I would have prepared the experiment right away.
“So, was it helpful?”
Jenna tilted her head.
“It’s not that it didn’t work.
“Ah, what is that. Ambiguous.”
“You’re already fighting fiercely. What more do you want me to do?”
I said with a smile.
Cool meant efficient.
It meant taking a broader view of the situation.
This is the best survival method I have equipped while going through the mission.
I had no intention of changing my fighting style now.
bang!
third swordsman.
A column of water rose high.
