Chapter 227
227: Davy Jones Attack Party (2)
* * *
Perhaps it was because we were briefing after capturing the Lawless Fleet Dreadnought, but the operational details and situational assessments became far more concrete and active.
One could argue that we’d only coordinated once, but everyone gathered here transcended the elite tier—finding a C-rank Party superior to this one would be nearly impossible, so it was only natural.
With Hezway at the helm, Ines and Jerome assisted while refining the system.
The Dohyun Party typically didn’t conduct briefings this systematically, so I thought we’d simply observe. If we were this systematic, wouldn’t the Party have a Healer by now?
But that wasn’t the case.
“I think the magical positioning is a bit awkward. Since I can cast spells without delay, it would be better if I apply binds with my magic while the Mages input theirs.”
Whenever the Mage formation came up, Hanalin would step forward like this.
“Hmm, during the initial gigantification phase, melee dealers should actively assist with tanking. Pushing damage is sufficient as a means to support tanking. Also, when we transition to Phase 2 humanoid form, a few tanks alone might not be able to contain it.”
Jiyuchan also occasionally offered his perspective as a tank and melee dealer.
And I said:
“The overall direction is good, but we should prepare for cases where Baek Master or I miss Davy Jones’s humanoid form. Even with Captain Ines providing support, the three of us alone would struggle to hold it, and including Jerome would become too chaotic. Like Yu—I mean Minchan said, it might be better to form a second line with melee dealers and just push through with that.”
As I filled in the gaps with my Analysis across the board, the briefing could be completed to an almost flawless degree.
Watching the Dohyun Party—with their considerable detail, first-rate briefing, and operational system that caught even the smallest gaps—everyone was honestly quite impressed.
Hanalin and Jiyuchan, having indirectly experienced my Analysis so much, found this level to be standard.
If it hadn’t been for the Dohyun Party, what might have taken longer was completed faster than expected.
“With this, we’ll conclude the briefing and meeting.”
At Hezway’s official closing declaration, everyone began to relax from their focused state. We’d been pouring our hearts into devising strategies to capture Davy Jones, so it was only natural.
Watching them show signs of greater exhaustion than when we’d captured the Dreadnought, I asked:
“So the rest of the schedule is really just rest???”
It was already discussed during the meeting, but when I asked now instead of then, Hezway nodded.
“Yes. As I mentioned before, this level of coordination is sufficient. In fact, coordinating further might cause things to fall apart, so it’s better to sync up here and enter actual combat while the feel is fresh.”
“Hmm, but resting until tomorrow feels a bit off, doesn’t it?”
“Suhyun, mental cultivation training alone is sufficient.”
“Ugh.”
At Hezway’s tactful words, I couldn’t help but feel disappointed.
Since they called tomorrow a personal maintenance day and decided to rest until then, I couldn’t help but feel restless.
I was the type whose nature bristled if I didn’t do something for even a day.
As I grumbled like this, Hezway chuckled softly while shaking his head at me.
“If you’re so itchy, I’ll permit your Party to go hunting on your own.”
“Oh? Really?”
“Your style seems more suited to that anyway… hmm?”
The moment Hezway said that, Hanalin and Jiyuchan shot sharp glances from behind me as if pleading for him to stop there, but it was already too late.
Once I heard Hezway’s words, it was as good as done.
“Hehehehe, excellent. Let’s go, everyone!”
“…Yes.” “…Okay.”
At my words, both Hanalin and Jiyuchan looked at Hezway with somewhat resentful eyes, and seeing the two of them as if being dragged to a slaughterhouse, Hezway awkwardly scratched the horns sprouting from his forehead and muttered:
“Hmm, should I have been more forceful?”
Having come to understand Dohyun’s temperament by now, Hezway cast a brief look of sympathy toward Hanalin and Jiyuchan before addressing the other parties.
“Well then, why don’t you all rest for now and we’ll meet again the day after tomorrow.”
With those words, everyone dispersed.
* * *
Though Hanalin and Jiyuchan regarded Hezway with somewhat resentful gazes, they couldn’t deny it wasn’t entirely a bad opportunity.
This time, Dohyun, Hanalin, and Jiyuchan had all gained insights, and on top of that, Dohyun had even acquired new items.
The items I’d newly obtained were far more numerous than I’d anticipated.
Excluding what I’d gotten from the Auction House, I’d acquired the Dreadnought’s serrated blade and the Deep Sea Fleet’s sturdy coat this time, while Hanalin, whose physical abilities lagged as a Mage, received and consumed the vitality elixir.
Though Jiyuchan felt somewhat disappointed, we reached an agreement that if anything suitable for him appeared in future hunts, I would definitely give it to him—enough to appease his sullenness. In any case, having obtained new items, testing them was only natural.
I had Analysis, so I already knew what abilities they possessed and how to handle them, but actually using them would allow me to wield them more proficiently—which was precisely why I’d ventured all the way to the Central Zone to hunt.
Above all else.
‘The stat gains in the Central Zone were far more efficient.’
The stat increases I gained from hunting in the Central Zone were far more efficient than those from simple sparring or training.
I could genuinely feel the stat increases that had accumulated before raiding the Dreadnought and after completing the raid.
『Dohyun』
『Stats』
▶「Strength: 87▶91」
▶「Agility: 87▶92」
▶「Stamina: 87▶91」
▶「Mana: 90▶95」
‘If I just take down Davy Jones this time, I should be able to rank up.’
I could finally escape C-rank. And I wasn’t the only one who’d grown.
『Hanalin』
『Stats』
▶「Strength: 66▶70」
▶「Agility: 68▶71」
▶「Stamina: 63▶74」
▶「Mana: 88▶92」
『Jiyuchan』
『Stats』
▶「Strength: 85▶90」
▶「Agility: 82▶89」
▶「Stamina: 80▶89」
▶「Mana: 76▶79」
Hanalin, whose stamina had improved remarkably after consuming the vitality elixir, was able to find her path thanks to my Analysis and grow her mana rapidly, while Jiyuchan’s strength had surged dramatically.
My guidance played a role, certainly, but the effects of the newly acquired martial technique and grand magic were clearly evident. Of course, even with those, without hunting in this Central Zone, reaching such growth would have been difficult.
Convinced of this, I decided to come to the Central Zone to raise my stats more rapidly and efficiently using Analysis, and Hanalin and Jiyuchan prepared themselves accordingly.
And then.
“Phew, I actually have something to show you this time.”
“Same here.”
When Hanalin and Jiyuchan spoke thus, Dohyun nodded as if pleased.
Then.
“In that case, let’s head over there.”
The place Dohyun pointed to was before a stone tablet inscribed with “Area 2”.
Since the Shipwreck Graveyard where we hunted the Dreadnought was Area 1, this time we could say we were moving to the next stage—Area 2.
Of course, a higher number didn’t necessarily mean a higher difficulty level, but there was something about wanting to clear them in order, wasn’t there? When Dohyun pointed that way, Hanalin and Jiyuchan nodded in agreement as well.
It felt like advancing to the next stage, so there was nothing wrong with it. The Dohyun Party all placed their hands on the stone tablet leading to Area 2 and entered the Central Zone with just three parties.
As the Dohyun Party entered Area 2, three shadows burst forth, and following them, they too placed their hands on the stone tablet heading to Area 2 and followed us inside.
* * *
Area 2 of the Central Zone in the C-rank Zone.
Unlike Area 1, which was simply filled with shipwreck fragments, the environment here was extremely harsh. Area 2 was a lava zone filled with bubbling lava all around—commonly called the Deep Sea Furnace.
Most would be unable to withstand the heat and would leave, but the Dohyun Party paid it no mind and swam leisurely through this place.
The intense heat was already blocked as if a barrier had been erected; we circled the area with mana surrounding us to block the heat, quickly searching for monsters.
Usually, monsters in each area took the form of bosses, but this monster was a worm-shaped creature that rose like a pillar from the lava zone.
“Reminds me of a Deathworm.”
“Indeed.”
“This should be fun.”
As the Dohyun Party spoke thus and prepared to move, Dohyun raised his hand as if it was fine and pulled out an item.
I had been using knuckles or spears recently, which was because I lacked a suitable sword, but now hadn’t I acquired a new one?
None other than the serrated sword from the Dreadnought.
Curious about how excellent its performance would be, I immediately rushed at the “Lava Worm” that burst from the lava.
Unlike the shark monsters that appeared in Area 1, the “Lava Worm” burst from the lava zone but wasn’t particularly fast.
It simply watched me rush forward, briefly sealed its mouth, then spewed lava from within.
“Guweeeeeck!”
Watching the “Lava Worm” spew lava, I swiftly swung the serrated sword. Without using any techniques, I simply tested the sword’s performance against the pillar of lava rising toward me.
Then.
Shhwaaaack———!
Rather than cutting, it was more like tearing—the lava split apart as flesh was ripped away, scattering in all directions. Seeing this, I let out an impressed expression and moved backward using footwork before the “Lava Worm” could notice.
Just as the “Lava Worm” belatedly realized I had vanished and tried to turn its body, the serrated sword moved even faster.
Swish———!
Shhwaaaack———!!!
First, the body was cut by the serrated blade’s sharpness, and as the blade wedged itself between the wounds, flesh clung to the blade surface and was torn away.
Seeing the additional attack land after the initial cut, I grinned with considerable satisfaction, while the “Lava Worm” writhed and twisted its body in the agony of having its flesh ripped away.
However, even as it retreated into the lava, it was no match for me, and this time I decided to test a technique.
The technique I used was the Golden Sword’s technique that fired circular sword energy.
Golden Sword Second Technique—Golden Wheel Dance.
The Golden Wheel Dance unfolded, and as sword energy shot from my serrated sword, a different result emerged.
Shhwack!
Thud-thud-thud!
As the sharp blade cut and flesh was torn away in succession, the “Lava Worm’s” body was shattered to pieces, leaving Hanalin and Jiyuchan speechless.
It was merely a matter of switching to a different sword, yet the technique itself had transformed—watching this unfold, both Hanalin and Jiyuchan gained new insights, while Dohyun smiled with satisfaction at the revelation.
‘With this, I could even tear off Davy Jones’s tentacles…’
A sense of possibility crystallized within me, a clear vision of how to wield this newfound power.
