"Atakamaru? I can actually see Atakamaru. ”

Isohime beside him rarely raised his tone.

She seemed overjoyed to see the eerie Ataka ship, which resembled a ghost ship, rising from the sea.

Atakamaru.

Kamiya, who is rich in theoretical knowledge, knows this strange story.

He knew the ancient warship shape of the Ataka Ship, and it was entirely because he had learned about the legend of the Ataka Pill before.

It is said that the Ataka Maru was the largest ship in Japan's Edo period, with a total length of about 69 meters, and was the favorite ship of Tokugawa Iemitsu, the third shogun of the Edo shogunate, and has been used as the imperial ship of the shogun.

The reason why Atakaku Maru is considered a strange story is that it has always been considered a large ship with a soul of its own, and whenever a person with a bag or a person with sin steps on the deck, Atakaku Maru will let out an angry roar, and the hull will shake violently to refuse the other party's boarding.

It's probably a legendary setting similar to that of a ship spirit.

I just don't know if there is a gender in the so-called "ship spirit" on a big ship with a soul.

If there is and happens to be a woman, then in a sense, Atakamaru can probably be regarded as an ancient ship girl?

Not to mention, it's a possibility.

It seems that in Europe, the term "she" instead of "he" or "it" has always been used to refer to warships, and Japan has followed this tradition for a long time.

Atakaku Maru is some distance from Kamiya and sails very fast.

After breaking the waves from the bottom of the sea, he drove away in the blink of an eye, becoming a small dot at the intersection of the sea and the sky.

At this speed, the whale of the turned whale can't catch up, and it is estimated that only the Mikami brothers can barely keep up with the ghost ship and turn on [Ghost Acceleration].

"What is this? Neutral weirdness? ”

Kamiya stood on the back of the whale with a knife, a little confused.

I was ready to go to war, but I didn't expect Yasutakaru to come this way at all.

He looked back at Isohime and asked, "You seem happy to see Atakamaru?" ”

"Of course, this big ship rarely comes out of the sea, it's very rare, anyway, it's the first time I've seen the real thing. According to our clan, those who meet Atakamaru will have good luck. ”

Isohime seems to have taken Atakamaru as a symbol of good luck.

Seeing this ghost ship means that something good may happen to them on their trip to Tagido Island.

To be able to use this eerie ghost ship as a symbol of good fortune, Kamiya Shin said that your mermaid customs are really fierce. And if you just want good luck, instead of hoping for a ghost ship, you might as well come and worship my little padded jacket.

Zashiki's blessing of luck is real.

But follow the locals.

Since it is a good sign, let it be believed, and it should be auspicious.

Kamiyagawa remembered about the third statue again: "I always thought that there were only you mermaids and crab clans left here in the sea country, so there were still strange things like Atakamaru?" Is it possible that the big ship is the sect statue of Taki Tohime? ”

Isohime shook her head:

"According to what I know, it shouldn't be, Atakaku Maru is not even fully conscious, it can't be a descendant of a god, maybe it's more like a kind of Fu Fushen. Before the Red Tide raged, there were other monsters in the Sea Country, and now how many are left, I don't know, even if there are estimates, the number will be very small, the Ataka Pill itself is a ship, it should be less affected by the Red Tide, it should be regarded as a special individual, I only learned today that it still exists at sea. ”

"And all the previously known monsters, except for the crab clan and the mermaid clan, are not the heirs of the gods, in the history of the sea country, only us and the crab clan have competed for the position of the lord of the country, and there has never been a third party. It is precisely because of this that everyone feels that the third statue has disappeared. ”

"That's right." Kamiya was thoughtful.

It seems that it is not so easy to find the third statue.

As for Atakamaru, it's a bit of a pity that the speed of this ghost ship is too fast, and it appeared suddenly, and it left suddenly.

All of a sudden, it was gone.

Kamiyagawa originally wanted to board the ghost ship to see if there was really a ship girl on it.

It's a pity.

……

The encounter with Atakamaru is just a small episode of the sea voyage.

Although Kamiya was quite concerned about the ghost ship, the appearance of Atakamaru did not have any effect on his future journey.

Nearly three hours passed.

The dark red waves of the sea still didn't change in any scenery, but Kamiyagawa could feel a subtle change in the aura of the neighborhood.

"We're close to the ruins of Tagido Island."

Isohime reminded from the side.

"The smell of the sea ahead is uncomfortable."

Kamiya stared at his pupils and looked around.

He could already feel that there was a clear transcendent aura surging in this sea, and it felt that it was not trivial and could not be ignored.

It's no wonder Isohime says that none of her people are close to the sea.

Weak monsters who are still sensible talk about this vicinity, it is estimated that they will instinctively feel panicked, and may even be directly persuaded by this mysterious aura.

What's in this sea?

God-level weird talk?

But this breath doesn't feel like it to Kamiya, and it always feels like something else is hidden.

The wreckage continued on its way.

The further you go, the stronger the strange transcendent aura becomes, but what is unusual is that the sea here is unusually calm, the waves are extremely gentle, as if an invisible hand is constantly smoothing the folds of the sea, and the gentle sound of the waves is like a serenade.

In such a comfortable environment, Kamiyagawa pulled out a word.

The indigo color, like the famous knife of clear spring water, felt the owner's emotions and made a buzzing sound.

"Isohime, don't stay too far away from me when you fight, if you run away, I won't be able to take care of you." Kamiya Kawatou didn't reply to the mermaid princess.

Something in the sea is approaching.

But it doesn't seem to be too strong, even if the water battle on Kamiya's side is not particularly powerful, but it should be a relatively easy type to deal with.

"Fighting?"

Isohime's perception ability is far less acute than Kamiyagawa's, but hearing him say this, he also enters a state of combat alert.

The mermaid princess followed Kamiya's line of sight and looked towards the calm sea of dark red.

After about ten seconds, I finally noticed something strange in hindsight-

Because he was active in the seawater, the burden of controlling the skeleton whale as a means of transportation was very small, so he directly summoned the whales to accompany him on this trip.

Fifteen skeletal whales are arranged in a triangular queue, with the one in which the crowd rides in the very center.

The anomaly occurred at the front of the line, in front of the skeletal whale that was unoccupied.

I saw that about sixty or seventy meters away from the whale, a huge tail fin suddenly surfaced out of the sea.

The tail of the fish was the size of the tail of the skeletal whale, but it had skin and flesh, and the skin was generally dark blue and gray.

About half of the fish's tail sticks out of the water, and the other half sinks to the bottom, and the tail swings gently like a fan to bring a fresh breeze.

When it got closer, the fishtail suddenly shook off and broke away from the sea.

The dark red water on the tail fin rolled down and splashed, forming a grotesque arc in the night, and then the moment the tail was completely out of the water, Isohime saw an even more strange scene.

Under that gray-blue giant tail, there is actually a barb like a fish hook!

The barbs may be made of bone, but with a distinctly metallic sheen and a visible hardness to the naked eye.

The end of a chillingly sharp hook reflects the cold light in the moonlight.

Syllable!

The tail fin smashed down, hooking the skeleton of the pilot whale.

And Kamiyagawa's side was also prepared, when the little whale entered the battle alert, it was not as timid as usual, he played the large conch in his hand, and several skeleton whales in the queue broke the waves and slammed towards the position of the huge tail.

Behemoths fight, and the sea is finally no longer calm.

As the wreckage whales launched a fierce counterattack.

The thing with the big terrifying tail was pushed straight out of the waves, powerful body muscles, streamlined body, and a bloody mouth full of sharp teeth, roaring and rolling over in the waves.

Underwater enemies resemble a megalodon.

[Strange Talk Name: Fulang Demon]

[Classification: Grade C]

The thing in the sea is the Wave Monster.

It's a kind of weird thing that seems to be mild just by the name.

But in fact, the temperament of this strange story is extremely fierce.

The name "Fulang" comes from the fact that when it appeared, the sea was calm, as if the waves were gently smoothed.

In the corresponding legends, this illusion of calm is just a bait for the wave demon to paralyze its prey.

It will approach its target in such a calm environment, and then unexpectedly flick a huge barb under its tail to hook its prey.

It's like attacking a wrecked whale just now.

The tail hook of the wave demon can easily hook a large boat, and fishermen who go out to sea are afraid of this kind of monster, and it is said that if they encounter it, there is basically no chance of survival.

It is a kind of terrifying monster that is similar to "human fishing" behavior, and in turn "fishing" human beings.

"Little tapir, go and help!"

The wave demon in the sea has C-level strength, the same rating as the calf.

Among the strange stories of this level, the whale is also a top-notch existence, and he himself is not too far away from being promoted to the Aragami, plus he has also absorbed the relics of the earthquake catfish.

The water is also the home of the little whale, and it should be no problem for him to win the wave demon.

However, in order to deal with the enemy as soon as possible, Kamiya still called out the Dream Eater Tapir to help.

The red light on the tapir's body burst out, and it deftly crossed the backs of several whales and reached the front of the whale group.

The light of the dream covered the churning wave demon in the water, causing it to fall asleep, and then used [Bu Terror] to pour a lot of panic into the mind of the wave demon with the help of the bridge of the dream realm.

With the support of this battlefield control, the enemy's combat effectiveness was sharply reduced.

"What's that?"

Isohime was really obedient and didn't rush to the battlefield, but stayed by Kamiya's side.

With Aragami in action, the battle situation is very clear, and she doesn't need her help.

"Fulang Demon, don't you know?" Kamiya looked ahead and replied casually.

"Fulang...... Goblin? I've never heard of such a monster in the sea country. ”

"Huh? Didn't you have it before? ”

"As far as I know, no."

Isohime even knows the rare Atakamaru, but she doesn't know the Fulang Demon, which is a bit strange.

Isn't this shark monster a native of the Sea Country?

Between the conversations, the battlefield ahead has already been decided.

There are a large number of whales controlled by calves in the water, and when they are chasing and intercepting, there are also small tapirs to help control them, so it is not too easy to win.

In an instant, the wave-soothing demon was hit into a blur of flesh and blood, and sank to the bottom of the water.

The two whales dived a few minutes under the control of the calf and re-lifted the remains of the wave monster.

At the same time, a low barking sounded as the dog god howled and jumped, opening his mouth to bite the dissipating shark carcass.

The Kamiya family has never advocated waste.

This kind of traditional upward and downward effect, even if the family is rich now, is still preserved.

But as soon as he bit it, the dog sensed that something was wrong.

This flesh and blood can absorb very few nutrients, and it doesn't feel like a C-class weird tale at all.

Kamiya also noticed the abnormality: "After this wave demon died, why didn't you explode the soul crystal?" ”

Just as he was wondering, there was another movement under the water.

Around the sea where the whales are located, dozens of huge blue-gray tails emerge from the water, half of them are exposed to the surface of the water, and half of them are hidden underwater, approaching quickly.

It's like a shark smells blood.

No, the strange story of the wave demon itself is a shark.

They probably came with the smell of blood.

"It seems that all of them have C-grade ......," Kamiya looked around.

It's weird.

In the sea country, the strange talk above grade C that I saw before is the crab Ji and the crab shop owner on the crab clan's side, and the Isome on the mermaid's side.

How can there be so many in this place?

"Whew-"

The whale let out an ethereal and graceful whale call, and the blue fluorescent light around Bai Sensen's skeleton floated, and they all broke away from the sea and floated into the air.

It is completely effortless for calves to control summons in the water.

Controlling the whales floating in the air requires a lot of physical strength and energy.

But there were so many enemies that he didn't dare to hold them up, so it was safer to get out of the water first.

In the middle of the water, dozens of wave-soothing demons churned, forming a large and tight queue, and they shuttled quickly, their tails flicking huge barbs glowing with cold light.

The last skeletal whale to break out of the water was unfortunately hit by the hook of a wave man, and in the blink of an eye, five or six other whales surrounded him.

Whoop –

Sharp barbs tumbled and hooked onto the body of the skeletal whale.

Then it was pulled in all directions, and the huge force caused the bones of the wrecked whale to disintegrate and fall in all directions.

Only the dark blue whale spirit body slowly floated up, floating back into the snail in the whale's hand.

"Isohime, how come there are so many wave-soothing demons in this place who are close to you? What did you just mean that they don't belong to the Sea Country? ”

Kamiya looked down from the air, and the number of sharks' tail fins seemed to have increased in the dark red water.

"I don't know, no one can come near here."

The mermaid princess looked dazed. (End of chapter)
