Chapter 15

_______________

It's been 2 weeks since the last time.

For the past two weeks, I have been training non-stop. I just stopped to eat or drink.

Every night, I passed out from exhaustion. But all these efforts paid off.

Now, my body has nothing to envy to the top athlete. My muscles are thin, powerful, well defined and would make anyone jealous.

Before, when I was wearing my diving equipment or my weapons, I had trouble moving, lifting my arms, running.

Now I feel like I'm wearing a feather.

I also trained in close combat. I am an expert in the field.

And by combining my strength and expertise in close combat, I can beat anyone in hand-to-hand combat.

But I hope I never have to use it.

If I have to use it, something has happened. No more ammunition and too many enemies, capture, assassination attempt, betrayal,...

Finally, not betrayal since you have to trust a person to be betrayed. The word that fits the words is deception.

As for enemy ships, no person or creature came into my trap.

I don't know if it's because I'm unlucky or everyone is afraid of coming to fault of the passive of my code name.

But I have a new plan

If the enemy does not come to me, then I will come to them.

I'm just going to put on my scuba gear and jump in the water.

The rest was told on the currents to take me to things to kill.

And that's what I'm doing.

My diving gear is equipped, my weapons are reloaded and in my inventory safe, I took / sold all that I could and I am well satisfied. It's time to jump in the water.

SPLASH!

The water is cold, no creatures around and the current is strong.

Well, now I just have to let the current do its job.

____2 days later_____

I've been in the water for two days and the only time I get out of the water is just to eat and sleep on small islands.

But the wait was worth it.

Right in front of me, 7 ships.

The best part is that they are fighting.

I will be able to take them by surprise but I have to hurry quickly before they all kill each other.

With this thought, I open my system to buy 14 grenades.

My plan is simple, with the grenades, I will explode them on the hulls of the boats so that they sink. And once the boats are sunk, the crews will find themselves in the water and it will just be enough to pick them with my knife.

Simple, effective.

With this plan in mind, I approach the nearest boat.

Once there, I take out a knife and a grenade. With the knife, I try to make a small opening in order to place two grenades.

It took me no more than 2 minutes before the two grenades were installed and unpinned.

As soon as I unpin them, I dive and head to the other side of the boat to protect myself from the explosion.

BOOMMM!

As soon as the explosion is over, I head for the hole I must have created with the explosion. Once I arrived, I saw a hole 2 meters in diameter.

I also see the water rushing into the boat.

"Well, with this waterway, the ship will sink in no time. Now to others. "

With that thought, I head to the other ships and do the same.

Fortunately, the ships are very close to each other.

After 3 sinking ships, I start to hear people wondering about my explosion.

They wonder if it is the opponents or a creature that causes these explosions.

"They are starting to question themselves. I have to sink them quickly before they understand that it is me who sinks them "

The last 4 ships were sunk in less than 5 minutes and no one understood what was going on.

Now I see a few lifeboats in the sea and many people swimming towards them to be rescued.

Hehehehehe

"Let the slaughter begin"

POV Kuri Suzuki

« WHAT IS HAPPENING ?! » I cried out in despair.

We were facing the rest of Captain Kijdou's fleet but suddenly, explosions started to sink our boats and those of the enemy fleet!

Is this their last hope? To cast spells randomly while praying that they hit their enemies or is it a creature that attacks us?

The only thing we know is that all the boats are sunk and most of the men are in the water. Only a lucky few have managed to launch lifeboats and get on them.

I am one of those lucky ones. I quickly understood that if I wanted to survive this confrontation, I had to think about my survival.

So after the fifth boat sank, I rushed to a lifeboat and threw it in the water with me in it.

Once in the water, I got away from the boat, saving some of our men in the water.

Too bad our enemies didn't want us to help them.

Now we have 15 on the lifeboat and we can't fit anyone on it.

Many people try to climb but we have to prevent them by hitting them or by casting small fire spells.

After the fifth person I burn, I notice blood in the water.

"Fire doesn't make you bleed?"

With this thought, I follow the blood with my gaze to the owner.

What I see makes my blood run cold.

Right before my eyes, there are at least a hundred dead people floating around. All bleeding profusely.

It is impossible that we did this.

Never, ever has a skirmish been so deadly.

In each battle that I engaged in, we had +/- 15% loss and with our opponents it was 30%.

Each time, either we surrender or our enemy surrenders, but each time we avoided a massacre.

"I don't know who did this but one thing is certain, it was not our enemies who did this. It must be a CREATURE! IT IS OBLIGED!"

« LOOK AT THAT! » shouted my friend Kyto pointing a direction.

Looking where he's pointing, I see a creature I've never seen that sits on a floating piece of boat.

The creature has a human morphology but instead of skin, it has the skin of a fish. Instead of a normal foot, it has fish foot. Instead of a human head, it has a head unlike anything I've ever seen.

« WHAT IS THIS THING? » Someone shouted.

« WHAT IS THIS THING DOING?! » Another person exclaimed.

The creature is watching us all.

Its blood red eyes settle on all of us and I notice that everyone this thing looks at is shaking or screaming in agony or not moving at all or even getting on top of it.

And as soon as it was my turn, I understood the behaviors I observed.

Looking straight into its eyes, I see my worst nightmares. WHAT TO SAY, THE WORST THINGS A MAN CAN IMAGINE!

I feel my whole body shaking like never before.

I feel like this thing, this DEMON has been staring at me for years! (not even 1 second)

But finally, this demon stopped looking at me but the memory still makes me tremble.

« Ki…KILL THE DE…MON! » someone ordered

After this person ordered the demon to be killed, a hundred different attacks were heading towards this thing.

I could see the arrows, water spells, fire spells, wind spells and even some dagger flying towards the target.

But, all the attacks missed.

Either the creature has a skill to deflect attacks, or everyone was too scared of the demon to aim well.

After these attacks, a silence settles on the sea.

.

.

.

After a while, the demon finally moves.

He gestures with his right hand and shortly after, a strange object is in its hands.

I have never seen this kind of object but one thing is certain is that there will be hundreds of deaths today.

And soon after my thought, hell poured on us.

BBBRRRRTTTTTTTTT!

POV Hecate

Where I look I see bodies floating in the water.

My carnage is over and I don't see anyone moving.

The lucky few who survived my attack count this account with the fingers of one hand.

They managed to escape because they are cowards.

They preferred to flee by using others as a human shield or as a decoy.

Meh, I would have done the same in their places. Survival is survival.

Anyway, according to my system, I killed 201 humans.

Which gives me 201,000 exp and 201,000 silvers and also brings me up to level 25.

I finally unlocked the vehicle function and with that, my progress will go much faster.

Well, let's look at this feature.

I open my system and a new tab appeared. That of the vehicle.

I click on it and several other tabs open.

~ Vehicle

-Earthly

-Air

-Nautical~

The different vehicles are divided into different categories.

Well, let's go into the terrestrial category first.

Author's note:

Sorry but that's for the next chapter.

But I need you!

I took time to write this chapter because I had no idea for the vehicles so I ask you to offer me vehicles.

I just ask you small or medium vehicles (frigates are welcome)

I thank you in advance.

With that, See you soon 😊.
