Episode 53
“10 with this!”
It’s a big one! Only when the sun was low in the sky was X able to meet his target catch. X wasted no time in using the heavenly dish.
A refreshing, fragrant smell.
Sensing that scent, the lighthouse guards gathered around.
“Wow, your cooking skills are quite good.”
“Even if you say that, I can’t give it to you.”
“Haha, I know.”
If he was like his usual X, he would have handed over a few for the beans that might run out at any moment. But now, X had no time to spare. The heavenly dish from which X was made was added to the inventory.
‘Because you can’t cook in the sea.’
Even if you could breathe, it would be impossible to start a fire, and even the dishes would float due to buoyancy. Therefore, I had to make as many heavenly dishes as possible and store them in my inventory.
“My wife is good, but her cooking skills are…”
“There’s no good restaurant around here…”
Even though X said clearly, the guards did not leave the area. It looks like he can’t stand the smell. Because X was human too, he couldn’t ignore those earnest gazes.
“No fish, but if it’s meat, I can grill it a little bit.”
“Are you sure?”
“Instead, you know that nothing is free in this world, right?”
Nod.
The guards nodded vigorously. They wanted to eat the meat that X cooked, even if they had to pay for it. X, who was looking through the inventory to see what kind of meat would be good, found the right meat.
‘I bought it for Yongyong.’
Pork purchased from a merchant! Now, if you go into the sea, Yongyong will be unable to be active for a while. When not summoned, the saturation level decreases slightly. Solsol. X sprinkled appropriate spices on the pork.
The guards wrinkled their noses.
“It smells very good.”
“I really don’t envy the restaurant. How much should I pay?…”
The guards search their pockets.
X waved his hand at them.
“The price is until I come back to this lighthouse. It is enough to just protect the Great Sage above. Of course, you can buy me a meal later.”
“Haha, of course.”
“Well, paying money seems too heartless… Next time, I’ll buy X a meal at a decent restaurant.”
Considering the amount of food X was eating, it could be said that it was a promise that would be a really big deal.
X shared the roasted meat with the guards. Sioras, who was watching this from the lighthouse, burst out laughing.
‘I think I’m much better than him at least in terms of Neoksal?’
*
Ready!
X ate one of the heavenly dishes he had in his inventory.
[Heavenly taste buds have discovered the hidden taste in ‘Real Seafood, the cuisine of the opposite sex’!]
[The energy of fish swimming in the sea is absorbed into your body!]
[You can breathe freely in the sea for 24 hours!]
[ Movement speed in the sea doubles for 24 hours!]
[Communication ability in the sea increases significantly for 24 hours!]
‘That’s it!’
As expected, the effect of opposite-sex cooking is outstanding!
Breathing in the sea became freer and movement speed doubled. Even considering the water pressure, it seemed like it could move at a speed similar to that on land. The ability to communicate also improved, so there was nothing bad about it.
with a plop! X jumped into the sea and waved his hand toward the lighthouse.
There was Sioras at the top of the lighthouse.
“Then I’ll be back, Master!”
“Be careful, X!”
“I’ll bring you some nice raw fish as a gift!”
“…sashimi?”
After saying hello to Sioras, X began diving.
Grumble! As I breathed, water came into my whole body. But it didn’t bother me. X fluttered about in the water as if he were a real fish. It felt no different from moving on the ground.
“pretty.”
Bubble bubble! Even though there were bubbles coming out, my voice came out properly. Even for X, who had explored various natural environments using heavenly cuisine, being in the sea was a unique experience.
Emerald sea!
X swam a little deeper. Sigh! Because of the faster movement speed, my body stretched out just by kicking my foot once.
‘These guys think I’m amazing?’
This is my first friend.
As if they were curious about X, various fish flocked around him. Colorful. There were rare fish that could not be caught even when fishing, and there was also seafood that looked like an octopus.
X smiled sinisterly.
“I’m sorry, but… I’m not your friend, you bastards!”
Shake shake! X’s hand moved nimbly and snatched up the guys nearby.
Ingredients you see for the first time! It was not an X that would miss the opportunity to increase its stats.
“Chuck, can you really taste it?”
I was worried that the sea water would make it salty, but it turned out to be unfounded. X continued to go down and catch seafood that came close. I ate it after minimal preparation.
“It’s a seafood buffet.”
Thanks to this, various stats are rising rapidly! Did Sioras calculate all this and choose Mermaid Island as his first destination? As X muttered his mouth in admiration, he felt an unusual energy.
“!”
Mermaid Island, the city of mermaids, was located on the bottom of the sea. Therefore, X, who was descending into the deep sea, felt like living in a dark sea. Sreuk! X lifted the primordial flint he was carrying on his back.
‘I’m so excited about the atmosphere.’
I thought the ocean was a seafood buffet and was so careless.
This is Fate, where various dangers lurk. It is not strange whether a strong enemy appears at any time. X came to his senses and stared into the dark depths of the sea.
‘It’s just circling around me.’
He probably smelled the blood flowing from the fish.
In that case, he would be able to react immediately to X’s movements.
A situation where the enemy sees you and you cannot see the enemy. X first caught his breath.
Bubble bubble.
‘You have to sharpen your senses.’
In fact, X had not noticed anything unusual about his breathing before. Just an uncomfortable but slightly unusual breathing method. That’s all I thought. However, when I put the enemy in front of me, I was able to realize the true value of breathing techniques.
‘I don’t feel hot…?’
No, to be precise, my heart stopped beating so violently. Thanks to this, X was able to sense the presence of his surroundings more calmly. I was able to feel the changes in my body in more detail.
Flash! Then a feeling came.
A surprise attack from behind!
Swish! X quickly turned around and raised his spear.
Sigh! It feels like I’ve been stabbed by something huge.
[Fatal blow!]
[A bleeding effect occurs on the Slayer of the Abyss!]
‘Slayer of the Abyss?’
He was a guy who gave off a strong vibe right from his name. Looking at the actual feeling of life and the fact that he withstood at least one attack from X, it could be seen that his level was at least over 250.
‘No, considering the original flint’s attack power, would it be over 300?’
The maximum attack power of the primitive flint was a whopping 500. Because X maintains his momentum at the highest level based on his spirit, he is always able to attack the enemy with maximum attack power. I don’t know much, but X raised his evaluation of Slayer of the Abyss.
This guy is much stronger than I thought.
‘It’s focus again.’
Feel the presence without losing your breath. Then the bleeding effect from the guy began to be visible. Scum! X stabbed the spear in the direction where the blood was flowing.
[Fatal blow!]
Sigh! With the feeling of hitting again.
Tiroling! A notification rang.
[You have defeated the ‘Champion of the Abyss’ for the first time in Fate World!]
[Your reputation increases by 100 points!]
[You have acquired the title ‘Light the Abyss’!]
[Your level has increased!]
[Your level has increased!]
[Your level has risen!]
[Your level has risen!]
“Champion of the Abyss?”
Even after the thrill of victory, X was taken aback by receiving more notifications than expected.
I thought he was a strong guy, but is it worth giving him a title?
X was slightly embarrassed and looked at the title.
Illuminate the Abyss: Defeated the Abyss Champion in the Sea of Fate. When fighting at sea, attack power increases by 1% and defense and magic resistance each increase by 5. The effect increases according to the number of champions killed. (Currently defeated Abyss Champions: 1)
‘…is it similar to a named monster?’
Named monsters that exist throughout the Fate Sea!
Perhaps the champion of the abyss was a title used to refer to the strongest among those guys.
X was once again surprised at his own strength.
‘Because I went up 4 levels in one go.’
The last time I checked, the level was 152. Although I enjoyed the seafood buffet, my experience level would not have increased significantly. Still, rising 4 levels in one go….
“What do you mean you’ll reach level 350?”
And X sent the named monster, whose level was close to 350, to the goal with just two shots!
This level of destructive power without even using the bear stance.
‘Primitive flint is also flint, but…’
The biggest change for X was his breathing method. The power of the breathing method known by Sioras was truly amazing. It seemed that if you fully mastered 100% of your body’s strength, it would allow you to utilize it even more.
“I think I know why grandmothers like oriental medicine clinics.”
With one word, the blocked blood was opened. X immediately swam around. Since I defeated the champion of the Abyss, I wanted to look into some information about that champion. chin. X, holding the corpse, fumbled to touch it.
‘What did it look like? ‘I can’t guess.’
Dark deep sea.
At this time, there was another amazing item.
X searched through his inventory and pulled out a tree branch that lit an unquenchable sacred fire.
Hahaha!
As the deep sea became brighter, its appearance caught my eye.
No, honestly, I didn’t notice it at first glance.
“Why is it so big?”
X was not even a bite of the Abyss Slayer. The Slayer of the Abyss had the appearance of a huge white shark. At this size, it could easily destroy a passing ship. Soon, X slightly shrugged his shoulders.
‘I can’t believe I sent such a monster into two rooms…’
When you completely understand a monster, information about that monster comes to mind.
X also defeated the Abyss Slayer and was able to confirm the Slayer’s information.
“I’m a lot stronger than I thought.”
Easily defeated a level 360 named monster.
X was once again surprised at his own strength. X immediately placed his hand on the guy’s body.
When I used Heavenly Grasp, an item came to mind.
-Slayer’s Fang (Unique)
The Abyssal Slayer’s Fang that took thousands of lives.
It has powerful destructive power.
Special Effect: When crafted into a weapon, a special effect is given that increases the weapon’s attack power by a percentage. The percentage changes depending on the crafter’s skill level.
“Oh oh!”
Incongruent with its gigantic body, it only spat out one item. However, I obtained a material item that increases attack power by percentage.
‘The higher the level of equipment you make, the more profitable it will be.’
I felt like I would have to use it later to make a really good weapon.
X, with a smile on his face, took the slayer’s fang into his inventory. Because of the sacred fire, I was able to navigate even in the dark depths of the sea. X swam, wary of his surroundings. But suddenly I heard a small sound from somewhere.
“…a big problem.”
“?”
It’s definitely a human voice. It’s a bit like a child’s voice… Could it be the voice of a mermaid?
X was surprised and quickly looked around.
But all you see are fish.
“…We’re in real trouble.”
“Who is it?”
“Oh, can you hear my voice?”
This is a voice from above.
When X quickly raised his head, he saw a cute fish. X couldn’t help but be shocked. Isn’t that cute fish looking at itself and making fun of its little mouth?
“Really, really, really, can you hear my voice? Huh?”
Significant increase in communication skills at sea!
The buff effect of Heavenly Cooking was in effect.
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
