Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter]

‘Now… Is it about 2km ahead? Let’s go. 〈Mermaid Painting〉.’

Please select the transformation part.

[Head/entire upper body/arms/entire lower body/feet]

‘Uhm…. entire lower body.’

Please select a transformation type.

[Flounder family/Sea bream family/Mackerel family/Conger eel family/Squid family]

‘Ugh…. I’ve heard that they look similar, but who would have thought that they would really transform. Hey, squid family!’

Shwaaaaaaaaaaaa! The lower body below instantly turned into a squid. Ten flaccid legs floundered in the water.

“Wow?! Uh, how does this move?”

It wasn’t easy to adapt to the feeling of suddenly having ten more legs to control.

It wasn’t easy to stay afloat on the surface, so I had to sink and drink water several times. It took about 10 minutes before I finally figured out how to move.

‘The longest legs are mine.’

The two longest legs, called the squid’s arms, felt like their own legs, and the remaining eight smaller legs felt like they were automatically assisting the two legs.

‘Okay, let’s go now.’

Slurrrrrr…. Leeha entered the water completely and began to dive.

As the squid’s legs stretched out momentarily to cut through the water, its body stretched out like a missile.

The corners of Leeha’s mouth automatically went up as he felt a different sensation from when he transformed into a fisherman and walked around the Dragon Palace.

‘Wow! Feeling fresh? ‘How painful must it have been to catch a guy wandering around like this and eat him raw.’

Is the charm of Middle Earth that it allows one to have both joy and delusion? Lee Ha wanted to share this scene and sensation with others.

‘First of all, just record this scene and show it to me, and then tell me that I have an achievement with this skill-’

I have to abuse my power.

The effect of the special training that Hyein taught me was tremendous. However, in some ways, it can be seen as a step forward.

Hye-in said that it is Gapjil to only take care of rights without doing one’s duties, but I do not fulfill one’s duties and take care of rights.

‘But… they can’t use the information I gave them because they lack the ability… It’s something that can’t be helped.’

Burrrrrrrrr of laughter suddenly burst out, and air bubbles leaked out of Leeha’s mouth.

The current leader in food points was Pyro, the pyromancer. After you tell him that it’s a Drake Quest, he’s definitely the type to get excited and ask what to do.

Lee Ha was planning to use the current data to keep him quiet at that time.

‘Once you get involved like that… you’ll always be with me, Mr. Pyro. Still, it won’t be a loss.’

It was doubtful whether Pyro would really think that way, but Lee Ha didn’t think about it any further. This is because the bottom of the ship floating on the water began to be visible.

‘small! But there are multiple ships!? One, two, three… twenty-two? ‘As many as twenty-two ships?’

The ship was never that big. Compared to the ships called ‘battleships’ in Kraven and Pubiel, I wonder if it is just a large sailing ship.

But there were many. What Leeha vaguely saw as a single mass was ‘small ships gathered together.’

Lee Ha rose to the surface, informing Fernand and Alexander of information in real time.

Currently, the bodies below are subject to Baelipus’ invisibility magic, so they will not be able to see unless they continuously use the invisibility detection magic.

Ssssssssssssssssssuuu.

The boats gathered together were lightly swaying in the waves. There are only two masts per ship. I wondered if it was 1/6 the size of the ship the New World expedition members were on.

‘But a ship is a ship. If you stick your head out here, you can’t see the top of the deck.’

The following approached one of the ships on the outskirts.

There was a separate reason for transforming the lower body into a squid. To climb the ladder rope hanging from the outer wall of the ship.

Lee Ha began to climb the rope, carefully examining the surroundings. Hold it with one arm and lift your leg.

The squid’s legs crept up and wrapped around the rope. Then raise your other arm and raise your leg again.

‘Are you okay?’

The way it moved was the same as when it was a human leg, but it was actually more comfortable. The automatically assisted little legs knew perfectly well what Leeha wanted.

Lee Ha, who climbed the short ladder rope and finally placed his hand on the deck railing, slowly raised his head.

Even though it is transparent, sound will be heard. If someone comes and checks, they will also see ‘wet’ ladder ropes. do not do that.

‘Make it as inconspicuous as possible… perfect reconnaissance—huh?!’

Huh, Lee Ha had to stop breathing for a moment to avoid making a breathing sound. Walking around on a ship was definitely a bit different from monsters and the like.

‘…Are you human? No, rather than a human being-‘

The guys moving on the ship have ridges sticking out of their buttocks. Some were hanging down as if they were touching the ground, while others were rising into the sky.

It was clearly a tail. It was a tail that looked very similar to that of a monkey.

***

‘Monkey? Is it a monkey? No, there is no hair on the skin. Close to human. Rather, it feels like a caveman… Is it a subhuman type of NPC? If you see the face, you’ll know for sure…’

Mostly, only the back or the side was seen moving quickly toward something. However, even with that alone, their appearance was significantly different from that of monkeys.

The poorly made bottoms barely covered the main area, and most of the top was left unworn, with no animal-like fur on the body.

Rather, as Leeha felt, they had colorful tattoos drawn on their upper bodies, reminiscent of primitive people in remote areas.

Their height was estimated to be larger than a dwarf and shorter than a human, with the smallest being around 140 cm and the tallest being around 160 cm.

‘The height is almost similar to that of a dwarf. There are a lot of guys who look like they have solid physiques… Surely a small ship like this could be useful – No, but what are they trying to do?’

Since the deck of one ship was visible, the decks of other ships lined up around it were visible. Their numbers were quite large, as they numbered twenty-two ships.

The atmosphere of them busily moving around was quite serious. Below, I was finally able to see their faces.

‘There’s a tattoo on your face too…! ‘All face tattoos are the same.’

The same thing painted on their dark-skinned faces was a red ‘goat’s head’.

The sheep’s horns stretched out on both sides of the forehead, the straight slitted goat’s eyes on their cheeks, and, encompassing it all, the entire face, including the sleek shape of the goat’s face.

Everyone had the same tattoo.

Although they had different physiques and had different tattoos on their upper bodies, the fact that they all had the same ‘face’ gave Lee Ha goosebumps.

Just as Leeha was about to climb down the ladder rope to check on the situation on the other ship, they heard their voices.

“Red Goat! “They are coming!”

“Red Goat. Get ready. “We have to suppress it all at once.”

“Red Goat!”

A perfectly understandable language. These were perfectly human words, without any strange noises from monsters.

‘Conversation will work. No, speaking and talking are different things…’

If it was speaking, wasn’t it also possible to communicate with fish people? The following only collects objective information and cautions against making hasty subjective judgments.

‘Who are these people who are coming now? Overpower… Ah? War? battle?’

I didn’t focus on the content of the conversation itself because I was able to communicate, but it was by no means normal.

What would twenty-two boats do if they weren’t fishing? It was natural.

‘I see, you also use oars! Surely sails alone would not be enough for a small ship like this.’

The two mast sails were dismantled, and if that wasn’t enough, an oar stuck out from the side of the ladder rope. The ship slowly began to move.

As soon as the squeak, squeak sound of the oars was heard, the boat accelerated. Even for a small boat, the speed was too fast for this place with little wind.

‘Who on earth is going to row the oars? Oh!’

Pwaaaaaaaaaaan…

At that moment, I heard a horn sound that was enough to shake Leeha’s mind. Beyond the field of vision pressing on my blank ears, other ships appeared.

‘Maybe these red goats are the ‘guys’ they were talking about. ‘Is that human form too?’

I wanted to confirm the following.

Since invisibility is on anyway, they won’t be able to see you, so all you have to do is hang here and watch out for any blind, long-distance attacks that might occur.

Red Got───────T!

However, it was a misjudgment below. The voice of the guy who was telling me to prepare for an attack rang loudly.

‘Did you boil the train barrel? Your voice was so loud-‘

Red───────Goat!

The other guys followed him and shouted at the same time. It was then that red lights flashed on twenty-two ships.

Hwaaaaa─────────…!

The effect, as if all the guys moving around on the ship were using skills at once, emitted a level of light that was impossible to look at with open eyes.

‘town!’

He closed his eyes tightly and waited for the light to subside for a moment, but when he felt the light fading beyond his eyelids, he opened his eyes again.

And I had to consider myself lucky that I didn’t have a heart attack.

‘Ooh, wow! What, what, is this?!’

This is because the head of a red goat was thrust in front of Leeha’s eyes.

It wasn’t a tattoo on a human-like face like before. It was definitely the head of a goat, an animal.

At a distance so close that when Leeha exhaled, the hair on the bridge of his nose would flutter, the goat’s horizontally slitted eyes were rolling as if they were going to lick Leeha’s face.

‘It’s a real goat. Really a new, bright red goat… transformation? Besides… can you see me?’

The following was suspicious. This is ridiculous. This is the invisibility magic of Bailipus, the Ancient-class Gold Dragon.

There’s no way the magic was broken, and they never used detection magic.

But I had to admit it.

The goat clearly detected the following.

“What is this?”

The goat’s nostrils flared.

As soon as those words came out, Lee Ha used his appearance skill. Shuwaaaa…! Because of the invisibility magic, the light of the skill was not visible and no sound was made.

However, the goat that had stuck its head in front of Leeha’s face turned its head. As if I noticed that Leeha was gone.

“Red Goat, what’s going on?”

“There was a strange smell. “Squid… no, it was the first time I smelled squid.”

“Do you mean squid, Red Goat?”

“no. Full speed ahead. Pass it to the oarsmen.”

“Red Goat!”

Puhwaaaaaat, Puhwaaaaaaaat! After a while, the oar was rowed even harder.

***

“What is that? human?”

“Human, no, I can’t even say human. There’s something like a monkey’s tail – and all the members transform into the same shape…” ”

Hmm, it definitely doesn’t seem like a regular monster in terms of being able to communicate, but…”

After listening to the following scouting information, the New World Expedition became even more excited. I was in confusion.

Enemy or friend? This was a reconnaissance to check whether these guys were likely to cause harm to the users of the New World Expedition, but we couldn’t be sure about that.
