Please stop persecuting your students!

Following a shout from the crew member operating the crane, Saki, who was thinking about finding an opportunity to touch Nia's head, immediately perked up. Holding the steel cable beside him with one hand, he carefully stuck his head out and looked at the rolling sea of ​​clouds below, which made Nia chuckle.

"Teacher, you are exaggerating~"

"You want to try?"

"Humph~ I won't do something I'm not good at~"

Nia took two steps back calmly, with a proud look on her face. Her self-righteous speech made the corners of the mouths of those around her twitch, and they were all speechless.

Look how much I pull you, but you're still afraid of heights, right?

"Yeah, that's right."

However, Saki, who was the target, nodded seriously, walked back to the cabin on the slightly flooded deck, and casually put his hand on Nia's head.

“It is a very good mentality to know the limits of your ability and do what you can do instead of blindly aiming too high.”

"How can you bring up something like this to lecture me...and don't take this opportunity to touch my head!"

"It feels so good that you won't notice it..."

"Then touch the white tiger!"

Baihu: "Miss?!"

Although it doesn't care about this...but it's sold?!

"No, it's no fun to touch a male tiger."

Nia: “???”

Baihu: "???"

What did this person just say with such confidence? !

Nia looked weird, but her reaction wasn't as big as it was not long ago.

As the saying goes, the first time is strange, the second time is familiar. It is obvious that Nia has no physical resistance to this kind of thing. At most, she is a little difficult to accept psychologically. But after having experience, the psychological resistance is greatly reduced. After a few more times, she may get used to this kind of thing. I have to say that getting used to this kind of thing is really easy...

Well, what we are talking about here is patting the head, which is a cat-stroking plan that someone has been planning for a long time and is now finally getting on track.

Let's be frank. Ever since the day he saw Nia, Saki has been planning to find an opportunity to jerk her off. It was fine when he didn't have the chance before, but now that he has this opportunity, he always feels itchy and can't stand it if he doesn't jerk her off for a day.

Catwoman! A real catwoman! And she has animal ears + white fur + lolita, which is so cute.

...It seems that there is a meaning of "If you are not careful, it will be the last battle in your life". Now Saki seems to be letting himself go. However, the actions of others will not be stagnant because of the interaction between the two here. Before someone can let himself go for too long, the old warship broke out of the water. The rest does not need the crane to continue to exert force. Under the effect of the huge airbag, the ancient ship that is the target of this trip is steadily stopped on the sea. A group of salvagers jumped down and landed on the deck, waving their arms at the slowly descending Uzushio.

After the two sides worked together to fix the gangway between the two ships, the Ira trio who had been hiding on the second floor of the Uzushio and watching finally arrived. Looking at the salvagers working on this ancient ship that had just emerged from the water, it was really... It couldn't be seen because of the mask, but there was no extra expression on Mie's face. He looked around, and paused at Saki, Nia, and Lex in turn. Mie's gaze finally fell on the bridge of the ancient ship - there was a door that was the only way to lead to the interior of the ancient ship.

Although forcing a way through the ship by smashing it with brute force is not an option... it really is not possible. Who knows what arrangements the guy who had been to 'that place' would make in this ship. If you don't follow the normal procedures, who knows what might happen. If you are not careful, you might end up in a ditch.

After all, they had already suffered a loss in "that place" before, and they didn't want to suffer a second time. So, to be safe, they still took the "key" with them, but before that...

Mie approached Zhen, tilted his head, and whispered:

"So, what are you going to do with them? Let them go?"

"I'll do it myself."

Shin stared at the old hatch without looking away. He had considered letting Saki and Nia go, after all, letting them go would not have any impact on Ira.

If the survivors were those well-known salvagers, there might be some trouble, but for Saki and Nia, who were newcomers and had no background in the Chamber of Commerce, there was no doubt that they were the type that no one would listen to what they said even if they returned alive. No one would believe what they said, and if they were not careful, they would get themselves into trouble.

After all, when they arrived at the Chamber of Commerce, no one saw Saki and Nia getting off the Narwhal with them. At that time, as long as the Nopon leader gave them a push from behind, it would be difficult for the two of them to even escape from the Chamber of Commerce.

In Zhen's opinion, Saki is a smart man and he must be aware of this. He will probably choose to take Nia back on the ship to other Arus and find a place to live in seclusion, right?

Is this the best ending for them?

of course not.

He really knows what kind of consequences his current actions will bring, and he also has a very clear understanding of his goal. Unless something unexpected happens... nothing can stop him.

Once that thing is done, the entire Netherworld will be shrouded in war, and there will be no peace no matter which Arus they hide on. In other words, for Saki and Nia it is just a matter of dying early or late.

In this case, instead of letting them feel the despair of having their peaceful and tranquil lives torn apart and then dying in pain, it would be better... for him to give them a ride before that.

This was his last mercy.

"Each class, enter in according to the designated groups and begin the internal exploration."

At a sentimental moment rarely seen in recent years, the captain, who had just completed the final confirmation work on the deck, still gave instructions in his rough voice, and a group of salvagers still stranded on the deck gathered in twos and threes and walked towards the bridge.

After all, the mission this time is not just to salvage the boat, the key is to find what the client needs from inside the boat.

Seeing the salvage workers start to move, Mie shook his arm and said:

"Then let's set off too."

Shin didn't say anything, and Zhantetsu didn't respond either. He just followed Mie's steps silently and walked towards the bridge tower. Before he took two steps, Shin turned around, glanced at Saki and Nia who were also walking forward, and then looked at Lex who was still standing there in a daze.

"You come too."

Volume 76: Young Man, Young Girl and Precious First Time: Chapter Chapter I understand the reason, but why is this cockroach so big? (Updated)

"what?"

"Ah what? Come with us--"

Just as he finished speaking, a deformed old metal hatch whizzed past Mie's face, knocking the rest of Mie's words back into his stomach with a loud bang and whistling sound. He looked sideways and saw a blue-gray sea cockroach as big as a community bus swaggering out of the hatch it had knocked open, shaking a pair of sickle-like short legs, showing off its might. The salvagers were so scared that they took a half step back, and someone's pupils shrank and the hair on his body stood up.

Cockroaches as big as a bus!!!

Saki was completely stunned. Because of his fast running speed, the giant sea cockroach was only five meters away from him. His mind went blank, and the fear brought by the three "small spiders" penetrated his mind. His hands and feet were no longer cold in the rain, and his body was no longer shaking. He seemed to have lost his soul, and his face was dull.

The next moment, he, the young man who probably had a certain degree of fear of all large insects, rushed out with a big bag of things on his back, a machete on his back, and an Uzi in his hand, which had not been used so far, shot out like a sharp arrow. Although his speed was still within the range of a normal person, he had the advantage of no sign and hit at a time when no one could react.

Nia knew that someone seemed to be afraid of many things, so she paid attention to her teacher's condition. However, before she could look over, a black shadow rushed out and could not be stopped.

"Wait, teacher?! Tsk!"

Unable to stop or shout, Nia smacked her lips, grabbed two ring blades and followed. However, Baihu glared with his eyes, and his body was shining. Not long after, the same light appeared on Nia, and the girl's forward speed suddenly increased.

This is the power of the Blade. To be more precise, it is the power that a coordinated Blade wielder can obtain from the Blade. Even a weak child can easily overturn a carriage after obtaining the power transmitted by the Blade, gaining an all-round improvement in strength, speed, endurance and impact resistance.

But... for a distance of only five meters, there is actually not much difference between one second and 0.7 seconds. If you are half a beat slower, you are doomed to be unable to stop someone's charge, even if it is a Blade Master, not to mention that someone didn't know what was wrong with his brain. This charge even used some spiritual power. In the blink of an eye, he rushed to the sea cockroach with the short and weak Uzi, and fired directly at the head that was only covered with a layer of chitinous shell. Under close shooting, the shell of the sea cockroach was as brittle as paper, and even in the face of small-caliber bullets, it was still easily pierced, splattering green blood that almost killed someone on the spot, making a shrill hissing sound, and in the madness brought by the severe pain, he directly raised his short legs and was about to tear apart the ape in front of him that brought him pain!

However, someone's madness is even worse than this!

But it is different from that kind of irrational madness, nor is it the stupidity after being stimulated. On the contrary, Saki still maintains the most basic...um, logic?

And the top-level logic among the few logics is that simple sentence.

The best way to eliminate fear is to eliminate fear - as long as all the things I fear are dead, then I have nothing to be afraid of... Such a simple logical loop.

So he attacked, transformed into an emotionless insect-killing machine and attacked from the front!

He naturally knew about guns like the Uzi... Well, it's not a question of the gun anymore. This kind of weapon used against humans is completely useless against this huge creature with a curved shell, especially the sea cockroach, which is jokingly called the closest relative of the cockroach sea.

Saki didn't know much about insects, but he had heard a lot of "little knowledge" about cockroaches, such as that they don't have any vital points that can kill them with one blow, that they can survive for several hours even if their heads are twisted off, but they still die of suffocation in the end, and that insecticides are just grease-like substances that cover the air intake holes of these creatures to suffocate them to death...

Whether it's true or not, it stands out that he is difficult to kill.

Of course, the cockroaches he had seen before were only that big (two fingers). Given the huge size difference, the entire body of the cockroach would be vulnerable to humans as long as they were ruthless.

After all, it's just a kick.

But now, the positions are reversed. The creatures that once had no vital organs have become larger than humans. In this case, what can a mere Uzi do?

Nothing can be done!

So, someone didn't place any hope on the Cricket 9mm bullet from the beginning, or maybe it was just his cover-up.

Back to the present, I saw a pair of sharp sickle legs falling from above, but Saki, who was still rushing forward, didn't even have the intention to dodge. After the magazine was empty, he threw it away casually, stepped on the water on the deck, and fell down with a fierce momentum. The whole person slid on the deck covered with water at a faster speed, barely dodging the falling sickle legs and sliding under the sea cockroach. On the way, he was scratched by the machete he pulled out, and easily opened a big hole in its gray abdomen, and dark green blood spurted out. At this moment, someone who was about to faint from disgusting stuffed something into the knife with an expressionless face, and then continued to roll out with the momentum just now.

The next moment, an ice-blue halo appeared under the body of the sea cockroach. The sea cockroach, which was annoyed by the continuous scraping-like blows, stopped all its movements. In an instant, its huge body lost all its strength and smashed to the ground, ice crystals splashed everywhere, but it was no longer alive.

'ice?'

Mie raised his eyebrows, looked at Nia who stopped halfway through running, and then looked at Zhen beside her.

After all, it is one of the basic types of aether in the netherworld. So far, there is no such thing as "unique aether energy" except for "that person". But the question is... that person is a human? How did he freeze this bug?

And it's not just ordinary freezing, but a fatal freezing that deprives it of its life in an instant. Although it can't be seen from this angle, there must be a huge block of ice in the body of this insect now, right?

This is not something that ordinary people can do. Even most ice-attributed blades may not be able to do it. The most important thing is that there is no ether energy left in the air...

'Is it a weapon that uses another energy source rather than aether?'

Volume 77: Young Man, Young Girl and the Precious First Time: Chapter Chapter You Stink (Fourth Update)

It's a little interesting, but that's all. The technology of the Netherworld has been broken several times. Take the warship of Ira for example. It is the technology left over from a country that was destroyed five hundred years ago. Five hundred years later, it is still the only airship in the entire Netherworld that can sail without relying on Arus. Therefore, it is not surprising that Saki found some high-tech weapons left over from ancient times.

In comparison, this person's drive and ruthlessness... looking at the green liquid dripping from his arm, it was hard for Mie to look at it directly. It was not a question of mysophobia or not, this thing was really disgusting. And Saki, who inserted his arm into the belly of a big insect without changing his expression, was the wolf among wolves.

The key point is that this man was lying at the cabin door, staring at his arm in a daze, making it impossible for the group of salvagers and Ira's three men to advance or retreat.

"...Hmm? You guys go in first, I'll go clean it up."

As if he finally reacted after being stabbed by the gazes of the group of people, Saki stepped aside while speaking, and with a swing of his right arm, a large amount of dark green liquid was spilled on the ground. The corners of the mouths of the group of people twitched wildly, and they could not bear to look any longer, and they all stepped into the bridge of this ancient ship.

After watching most of the people, including Lex and Ira, enter the ancient ship, Saki pouted, turned his head to look at Nia, and took a step...

Then Nia and Baihu shuddered and took three steps back.

Saki: “…”

Are you serious about taking half...three steps back?

Small actions can cause great harm

"Anyone who sees this will back off! And aren't you afraid of bugs?!"

Nia had a look of horror on her face. Saki's behavior just now was no different from that of a person who was terrified of cockroaches and then, when he encountered one, would just smash it to death with a headbutt.

Not to mention people who are afraid of insects, no normal person would do this!

Just outrageous.

But someone had a calm face, his eyes staring straight ahead, his expression as dead as water.

"I was afraid, so I eliminated the things that frightened me."

"You..."

Nia's mouth twitched. There was nothing wrong with the logic, but the problem was... forget it.

"White Tiger."

"it is good."

The white tiger opened its mouth slightly, and the core crystal on its body flashed slightly, and quickly condensed into a water ball made of pure water-attributed ether in front of Saki. Someone with a deadpan face quickly put his arm stained with sea cockroach blood in and rubbed it. After repeating the operation three times, Saki finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking at his palm that had been covered with a new layer of skin, the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally.

Corrosive blood is a standard feature of insects of this size. Fortunately, the corrosiveness is not very strong. It only caused a slight burning sensation when it was stuck on his body, and it only made him lose a layer of skin. In addition, there were two big nurses in his team, and they could heal him back with just a bite.

There is just one problem...

"Um..."

Saki's nose sniffed, and the look that seemed to have seen through everything just now completely collapsed this time. Facing the faint smell on his arm, he couldn't help but reveal an expression of disgust.

"stinky!"

"Of course! Who told you to rush up like that?"

While complaining, Nia forcibly dragged the white tiger across in front of her, separating her from Saki. She hid her small body on the other side of the tiger's body, baring her teeth and claws.

"You can't step over here! Right there. If you touch my head before I wash it clean, I will never forgive you!"

"No matter what I say, it won't be like that."

Saki rolled his eyes, took out a mask from his bag and put it on. Although he could still smell a faint odor, it was not as unpleasant as before. He then breathed a sigh of relief.

The faint light from the clouds became the only source of light in this sea area, making it difficult to distinguish between day and night. The drizzle continued to wash away the filth on the two ships. Looking around, except for the personnel on the Uzushio at the other end of the gangway, only he and Nia Baihu were left on the deck of this ancient ship. The drizzle gradually wet his clothes and soaked into his skin, and the loss of heat made him shiver.

"No need for that..."

"During this critical period, the less we can use, the better."

Knowing what Nia meant, Saki shuddered again, but did not use his spiritual power to dispel the moisture on his body. There was still a fierce battle to come, and any behavior that wasted combat power was not advisable, not to mention simply using spiritual power to dispel the moisture, which was a "luxury".

Maybe the key to success or failure lies in the spiritual power of one or two units?
