Chapter 547: 961
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Splash splash...
Growl! Roar!
Screech!
The sea is teeming with monsters.
They all showed hostility and tried to attack the ships carrying the conquest teams from each country.
The conquest teams immediately responded.
"Aerial units, launch! Annihilate them!"
"Don't stray too far from the ship! Always maintain formation!"
"Damn! Another one's coming up! Brace for impact! It's going to shake hard!"
"We're going to collide! Please hold on!"
"Kyaaaa!"
"Everyone grab onto something tight!"
"Protect the ship at all costs! If we sink, it's all over!"
"The injured should go to... Cough!"
"Damn, they've boarded the deck! Deal with them first!"
Aerial battles, naval battles, underwater battles, and battles on deck.
Fierce fighting was taking place across all battlefields.
The sky flashed incessantly, and the sea showed no signs of calming, raising rough waves and water columns.
Meanwhile, thunderous sounds, explosions, and metallic noises were constant everywhere.
The monsters roared, and people fought back, shouting as if they wouldn't lose.
Amidst all this.
"Witch, please take care of the ship."
"Yes, I'll fix the time, so don't worry."
The Korean conquest team, which was the first among the participating countries to stabilize the situation, moved to gain the upper hand in earnest.
Players led by Eun-ha began to help other countries' conquest teams subjugate the legion commanders.
As a result, the tide of battle gradually turned in favor of the conquest teams as time passed.
'It's thanks to the memories from before the regression. If I didn't have these memories, we probably would have struggled quite a bit trying to find the legion commanders' weaknesses.'
Still, it's important not to let our guard down.
Eun-ha instructed Ariel, who had poked her head above the water surface.
"Riel, tell the others not to overdo it and get hurt unnecessarily."
"Eun-ha Eun-ha! That's what we want to say to you! Anyway, got it! You be careful too, Eun-ha Eun-ha! I'm off!? Poof!"
Ariel, in mermaid form, playfully saluted and disappeared into the sea.
Eun-ha chuckled lightly, then spread his crimson wings and left his position.
It was then that he received telepathy from Jin Seo-na.
[Eun-ha, there should be the American conquest team at 8 o'clock from your position. It seems they need help.]
Eun-ha changed his flight direction.
He spotted several ships surrounded by monster armies at some distance.
It was the American conquest team.
'Unlike other conquest teams, America entered the dungeon from the opposite side. Since they were in North America... Is that why they've become isolated, unable to properly request support because their entry position is far from our side?'
It would be too much for the American conquest team's strength alone to deal with such a large army.
We need to assist.
As soon as Eun-ha made his decision, he increased his flight speed.
During this, a few others caught up.
"I got a message from Seo-na unnie. I'll help too."
"Our side is mostly sorted out. Let's leave the rest to Ara and clean up this side."
"Master, I'll join you too."
Son Ga-yeon, who had transformed La-ra into a fairy transformation and wrapped mechanical devices around her body, flapping fairy wings.
Bae Su-bin with her red eyes glowing, and Iriya sitting demurely behind her on the broom.
With them lending their strength, Eun-ha couldn't help but feel reassured.
"I'm counting on you."
Soon, they approached the American conquest team.
Bae Su-bin, with the ships they were riding below her feet, activated her magic.
"Don't worry. I'll be careful not to hit those people. If they're unlucky enough to get hit... That would be unfortunate."
Right after, fireballs rained down on the monsters as if bombarding them.
The monsters had no choice but to be helplessly caught in the unexpected attack.
Boom boom boom! Sizzle!
Screech!
The fireballs plunged into the sea, causing steam mixed with heat and instantly heating the water surface.
Monsters engulfed in flames from being hit by fireballs screamed and writhed in pain before dying, or quickly hid underwater.
Meanwhile.
Click! Whirr!
Son Ga-yeon, hiding in the clouds, sniped the high-tier monsters.
Every time she pulled the trigger, flashes of light piercing through the clouds cut off the monsters' breath.
Meanwhile, Eun-ha called for Iriya.
"Iriya, I'm counting on you."
"Yes, Master."
Iriya, who had been reciting prayers holding her rosary, opens her eyes.
The mana flowing from her becomes a yellow curtain of light protecting the American conquest team.
Eun-ha, who had been waiting for this moment, swung the Honghwa Sword and Twilight Sword.
<Blast Cross>
The Honghwa Sword, with red flower petals rising on its blade, spews flames.
<Galvanic Cross>
The Twilight Sword spews lightning.
The flames and lightning that have turned into crosses engulf the monsters that have revealed themselves above the sea.
With that, the tide of battle reverses in an instant.
The American conquest team didn't miss the opportunity and launched an aggressive offensive.
And so.
...Oh? Fewer died than expected? I guess your level was that high. Especially... Player Noh Eun-ha, you. This is making me salivate, you know? If we could absorb you, we would become even more powerful. So please fail the conquest and die! All of you!
"..."
Anyway, I've confirmed your skills well. I'm looking forward to seeing how far you can conquer! Then we'll take a short break before moving to the second floor!
The conquest team moves on to the next stage.
* * *
<Dungeon of the Deep Sea> 2nd Floor.
The conquest team, having finished regrouping on the 1st floor and moved, looked around.
The 2nd floor, like the 1st floor, was spread with blue sea.
And in the distance, an island could be seen.
I'll explain the mission now! Can everyone see that island over there?
"..."
The dungeon guide, pointing at the island from within the light source, guiding their gaze.
The conquest team listened to the explanation.
On that island, there's a special crystal ball hidden that will tell you the way to the 3rd floor. It's scattered into pieces. So you need to gather the pieces, complete the crystal ball, and find the way to the 3rd floor!
"How many pieces are there?"
10 pieces! How about that? It's a less dangerous mission compared to the 1st floor, right? It's so easy!
"..."
The dungeon guide sought agreement, but no one responded.
The conquest team ignored the dungeon guide and talked among themselves.
Soon, they reached the same conclusion regardless of country.
"Let's head to the island first."
The ships headed towards the island.
After circling the huge island, the ships gathered at a location convenient for anchoring, with no obstacles around.
Naturally, the conquest team members who disembarked from the ships could encounter conquest teams from other countries.
'There are so many when we gather like this.'
The beach was full of people.
Eun-ha and the Korean conquest team could newly realize the scale of the <Dungeon of the Deep Sea> conquest team.
At that moment, Roberto approached.
"Player Noh Eun-ha."
"Yes. How's the damage on your side?"
"Fortunately, we're still okay for now. More importantly, Player Albert has called for representatives from each country. I'd be grateful if you could come to the tent being set up over there."
Roberto pointed to a tent erected at the end of the beach.
Eun-ha nodded.
"Alright, I'll do that."
"Then I need to go inform the other conquest teams..."
It's the first meeting with representatives from other countries' conquest teams.
Eun-ha decided to head to the tent to familiarize himself with them.
With that, after seeing Roberto off, he looked for Pricis Memory.
"Witch."
"Yes, what is it?"
"There's a meeting of representatives from each country, could you interpret for me?"
"Of course, I should do that for such an occasion."
Pricis Memory answered readily.
With that, Eun-ha walked along the beach with her.
During this.
"Are You <Overlord> Eunha No?"
Someone called out from behind.
Eun-ha, hearing his name called in English, stopped and turned around.
'An American?'
A white man wearing lightweight armor with the American flag embroidered on the left chest.
Having confirmed the other party's affiliation, Eun-ha asked Pricis Memory.
"Witch, could you ask him what he wants with me?"
"Yes, He is Eunha No, the leader of the Korean Raids. What's going on?"
Pricis Memory takes on the role of interpreter.
Thanks to this, Eun-ha could understand the white man's business without much difficulty.
"This person says he's Ezekiel Collins, the representative of the American conquest team. He says he came to express his gratitude to Player Noh Eun-ha."
"Gratitude?"
"Yes, you helped the American conquest team on the 1st floor, remember?"
"Ah... That's why. Please tell him I only did what was natural."
"Alright, I will."
Pricis Memory, smiling gently, conveys Eun-ha's words to the white man, Ezekiel Collins.
However, Ezekiel waved his hands and repeatedly expressed his gratitude.
If Eun-ha hadn't intervened at that time, the American conquest team could have suffered great damage.
'Actually, that's what happened before the regression. They suffered considerable power loss trying to complete the mission while isolated... And then their representative even died, shaking the command structure...'
In that sense, he had inadvertently saved Ezekiel Collins.
Eun-ha gave a bitter smile.
At that moment, Ezekiel, shaking hands with Eun-ha, spoke.
Pricis Memory helped with the interpretation.
"He says he'll never forget the help received from the Korean conquest team. If the Korean conquest team ever needs help from the American conquest team, just ask anytime."
"Is that so? That's good. Then Witch, to Player Ezekiel..."
He had just been wondering how to present information about conquering the 2nd floor at the upcoming meeting and how to gain support.
He could get Ezekiel's help.
Eun-ha raised the corners of his mouth.
"Ok, Eunha. I'll help you."
* * *
Eun-ha entered the tent with Pricis Memory and Ezekiel.
The people inside the tent all turned their attention to them.
No, more precisely, to Eun-ha.
"..."
Some with appraising gazes, some with curious gazes, and others with hostile gazes...
People looked at Eun-ha with various gazes.
Nevertheless, Eun-ha met their gazes without minding.
"It seems everyone is interested in Player Noh Eun-ha, who conquered the first black dungeon. He says he's the same."
As Ezekiel whispered to Eun-ha, Pricis Memory helped with interpretation on the opposite side.
Eun-ha nodded.
"Let's go find a seat."
People only sent gazes, not bothering to speak.
They were either watching each other or because the meeting was about to start.
Either way, there was no need to unnecessarily mingle words.
Eun-ha, feeling relieved, found an empty seat and sat down.
Ezekiel took the seat next to him, and Pricis Memory, who came as an interpreter, quietly stood behind Eun-ha.
Not long after that, all conquest team representatives gathered.
"We will now begin the meeting."
Albert Valentine, who was appointed as the chairman according to prior agreement, opened his mouth.
From this point, representatives from each country exchanged opinions to conquer the 2nd floor mission.
As a result, the conquest team decided to split by country, explore designated areas on the island, and search for crystal ball pieces.
It was during this that Eun-ha spoke up.
"We need to prepare for the night too. Monsters might attack under the cover of darkness."
"Hmph, isn't that obvious?"
Some representative players, including Spain, snorted.
Eun-ha, hearing through Pricis Memory, lightly shrugged his shoulders.
There was no sign of being intimidated.
"I'm not just saying we should prepare for monster night raids. We should prepare for the worst-case scenario, for them to attack in unexpected ways. For example..."
"..."
Eun-ha deliberately trailed off to gather people's attention.
Then he continued.
"What if they infiltrate our dreams, our mental world, while we're sleeping?"
"..."
"Shouldn't we consider the possibility of facing dream demons?"
In fact, before the regression, the conquest team had struggled, caught off guard by a surprise attack from dream demons.
Eun-ha suggested this to prevent that situation.
"Hmm..."
"..."
People caught off guard had no choice but to seriously consider it.
Even those who had been mocking Eun-ha earlier changed their expressions.
At that moment, Ezekiel seized the opportunity.
"He's right. I think we should do that too."
"Well, it would be better to prepare assuming the worst case. Especially since we don't know what might happen in this dungeon."
Albert agreed as well.
With that, gradually others showed agreeing reactions.
"As expected of someone who conquered the <Dungeon of the Abyss>. He certainly thinks differently from us."
"No wonder he conquered a black dungeon."
"If only he wasn't married. We could have made a connection somehow... No, I guess it doesn't matter anyway?"
"I saw him fighting on the 1st floor, he seemed quite strong... I'm curious about his secret."
"Should I ask for a handshake later? Maybe an autograph too."
"..."
People's gazes towards Eun-ha were now tinged with goodwill.
They praised Eun-ha in their native languages.
Pricis Memory, who was interpreting each of these comments and even acting out the emotions, kept giggling.
"You don't need to tell me those things..."
"Why not? It's not like they're cursing. Just enjoy it, Pandora Clan Lord."
"Hah..."
Eun-ha's ears were burning.
