"Hey, who are you? I don't know who you are. If you're looking for a lost God Equipment or sea monster, you can just turn around. It's only a few dozen nautical miles away … "
When the gigantic creature in front of them rose from the sea, the entire ocean was thrown into huge waves. Even when the wooden sailboat was helplessly suspended in the middle of the ocean, Rorschach was still able to joke around.
"Are you having fun being cheeky?"
"… If I say I'm having fun, will you hit me? Fine, you don't need to answer. I already know the answer. Be serious, I'll be serious. Isn't it just a divine magical creature? It's not like I've never fought one before … "
Rorschach and Ariel's calmness was quite eye-catching in the chaos of the surrounding Seafolk.
This was probably because they had experienced enough danger already. They had even been attacked by Evil Gods several times. They had been on the brink of death for so long that they naturally knew how to deal with it.
"Don't be in such a hurry. Anxiety and fear are meaningless right now. Negative emotions will only affect the time it takes to calm down. Yep, we should go find a time machine … Ouch."
"If you keep being cheeky, I'll really beat you up."
"… You already beat me up. You don't know how to control your strength. I was just joking around to lighten the mood."
"Look around you. Do you think there's any meaning to your lightening the mood?"
Rorschach looked around at the situation. This joke really was meaningless.
When this gigantic monster filled with the divine power of the sea appeared, most Seafolk fell into panic. And this was still the best. Some even directly knelt down when they sensed this familiar divine power.
Everyone followed the crowd. As one person knelt down, more and more people knelt down. The Seafolk who were used to kneeling down could no longer be counted on.
As for Seviala … she unhesitatingly hid behind Rorschach the moment that the monster appeared.
"No wonder I always felt that something was off …"
Rorschach now knew why he had been feeling so uneasy. Perhaps he didn't recognize this divine magical creature before him, but the elemental fluctuations were definitely the same as the God Equipment of the sea that he had previously hit a home run with.
Whether it was something from the Heart of the Sea that had come out and taken over the sea monster's physical body, or whether the sea monster had eaten the Heart of the Sea was actually unimportant.
Rorschach only knew that he was in big trouble.
Its huge body was like a moving mountain. Although the lower half of its body was made of tentacles, it didn't look ferocious at all. Its light blue skin reflected the light, and there was even a faint sense of holiness.
It had a humanoid upper body and a pair of fin-like ears. The face under its light red hair could not be said to be beautiful, but it had a strong and stubborn feeling. The eyes under its sharp eyebrows were confused, but there was a faint lightning in them.
His snake-like hair and the flickering lightning on it finally gave him the feeling of a primitive predator.
To put it simply, this was a difficult Boss to deal with.
"Roland … Roland … Sword …"
She spoke in an ancient language with a deep voice. Even though she had never learned a single word before, not only did everyone understand what she meant, they could also feel the confusion and resentment in her voice.
"… They clearly don't know each other, but they hate each other? Where did this hatred come from? "
Although Rorschach was commenting, he felt his heart clench. This ability to forcefully communicate without words was one of the Gods' signature traits.
As for Roland's goal, he could still use the excuse of Seviala being a burden to cover it up. But this time, Roland was truly looking for trouble for himself.
As long as Roland was connected to Roland, it was likely that he wouldn't be able to deal with the current him.
Anyone who could directly view him as an enemy, or be viewed as an enemy by him, would at least be an existence above Rorschach's level. And, someone who had lived for so many years and still hated him would always be the opponent that Rorschach was most worried about.
Although it was one of the unwritten rules that the previous generation's grudges wouldn't be carried over to the next generation, if the grudges were truly strong enough, these unwritten rules wouldn't matter at all. Lori's incident was the best proof of the existence of the mastermind. And, the reason why Roland had been hiding among Saul and Ansorenne all this time was to protect himself.
"… But, am I truly prepared for this?"
Rorschach was unable to be certain. Nor was there anyone who could answer his doubts.
However, no matter how many thoughts he had, there was no point in hesitating.
Should he hand over the Roland sword? Or give it a home run like just now? That would be impossible. How could he possibly treat someone else's God Equipment the same as his own … Cough, cough, to be honest, this was impossible from the very start. The Roland sword wasn't like the Heart of the Ocean without a master. It would be impossible for the soul-bound God Equipment to be lost before its master died.
However, Rorschach didn't have any room for hesitation or retreat.
"… There's almost no chance of victory. In that case, I'll just have to stall for time. It's impossible that no one else noticed such a large reaction. Bair's reinforcements might already be on their way here. As long as I persist, I'll have a chance to survive."
But when Rorschach truly made up his mind, he shook his left hand and a broken silver sword appeared in his palm. This instantly ruined his plan.
"Roland!"
The gigantic woman who had been standing there motionlessly suddenly woke up. Lightning flashed in her eyes as she looked at Roland. The next instant, she revealed her beast-like yellow pupils and uncontrollable wildness.
* Boom! *
Then, a bolt of lightning flashed, and the boat sank again. Why did I say again … The wooden sailboat had a huge hole in it, and water seeped in from the middle. The boat gradually broke into two halves, and it seemed that it wouldn't survive no matter what.
"Su Nanna, I knew that you were hiding here. Hurry and come out from my shadow …"
Let's not talk about the dark elves who were thousands of kilometers away and had somehow taken the blame. Roxia, who was happily mischievous, also completed his first quick-cast spell.
Rorschach had forcefully requested the wooden logs tied to the boat. Previously, everyone didn't understand why. But now, their true purpose was revealed.
Two of the wooden logs instantly transformed into battle puppets that charged towards the gigantic sea giant … and then fell straight into the sea.
* Splash! * Splash! * There were even a few bubbles floating up.
"… You didn't increase the intelligence of your cannon fodder before creating them?"
"You had to first explain to the wooden logs what the sea was … I designed them to be land battle puppets. I never expected to encounter such a situation. Besides, did you really count on them …? "
The wooden magic puppets that Rorschach had created on the spot were about two to three meters tall, slightly taller than an adult human. Meanwhile, the giant before them was more than eighty meters tall. Even if they successfully got close, they would only be like ants charging at an elephant. They would only be able to attract some firepower.
Seeing that the giant's attention was completely focused on them, Rorschach could even feel the instinctive sense of danger from being targeted by someone high up in the food chain. And now, the "cannon fodder" that could truly attract firepower arrived.
"Roar! Rorschach, cover for me! "
Ariel spread out her wings and flew towards the giant.
As the greatest beneficiary of this incident, Ariel, who had successfully advanced, was now on the verge of becoming a rank 6 dragon mage. Not only could she freely transform into an adult human, she also had a new transformation option.
Dragon mages were at the peak of all dragonization abilities — True Dragon Transformation.
With a dragon's roar, a gigantic silver dragon appeared in midair.
* Roar! *
The silver flash was a combination of light and fire. As a wielder of the silver dragon bloodline, Ariel's natural talent was to mix these dangerous silver flames into her spells.
And when she truly transformed into a dragon, the silver flames transformed into an attack that could break through the heavens.
"I've got it!"
At such a close distance and with such a large target, it was impossible to miss.
And no matter how one looked at it, the power of this attack would not be any lower than the low-level spells that were enhanced by the mage's magic armor. It would be enough to easily shatter rocks and sink battleships.
But the next moment, the smoke and flash disappeared, revealing a scene that made one feel despair.
The giant was completely unharmed. Her eyes were still blank, but she subconsciously raised both her arms.
Her slowly raised arms moved slowly and devoutly. Coupled with her simple and wooden expression, she was just like a high priest presiding over a sacred ceremony.
And every time her arms rose, the waves became more turbulent, and the storm became more intense. And below her, a gigantic deep-sea whirlpool was forming.
With just a glance, Rorschach knew that as long as this whirlpool formed, everyone would be buried at the bottom of the sea. The Sea Tribe might still be able to survive, but he and his team were doomed.
"Go! At least share Ariel's pressure. "
With a glance, the unlucky black-clothed dragon knight could only ride his dragon. The blue dragon struggled to take off.
With two dragons flying here and there, at least the target was big enough. It would be good if they could delay a little more. At least they could distract the opponent's energy and prevent her from completing this seemingly dangerous spell.
But at the same time, Rorschach was too helpless.
Ariel wanted him to cover, so naturally, she hoped that he could use spells to support her. Originally, with the Book of Ten Thousand Spells, Rorschach could still gather a few offensive spells.
But he had just advanced once, so these spells were either unusable or greatly reduced in power. If he forced himself to use them, it would probably be a waste of mana.
At this moment, Rorschach deeply felt the most obvious weakness of his seemingly powerful job class. It was that he had almost no power to resist in a specific environment.
In order to "forge" weapons and summon creatures, he would need materials. But in this place, where he was surrounded by the sea, there was only one old-fashioned wooden sailboat. And this sailboat was about to sink. What materials would there be for him to use?
"… Wait a moment, there's a boat. Perhaps I can try that."
