Chapter 285: Sunken ship exploration<hr>
Today is the day of the duel with the dark summoners. Naturally, I should be adventurous and weigh myself down because if I die, it will ruin a lot of things.
"Why are youing to the ocean...Takuto-san"
I was taken aback by Ion.
"No, I wanted to raise Surfi''s level and explore the sunken ship. I''m really curious about that"
When you hear that there is a sunken ship, you expect a treasure.
"Haa~...I understand. But if it gets dangerous, please withdraw, okay?"
Ion nailed me, so we headed out to search for the sunken ship, putting safety first. The members were Ion, Lian, Puyo, Dian and Surfi.
Puyosuke was asked by Ion to take care of me. Well, it was only natural for her to choose the one who would be attached to me for safety reasons.
Besides, there''s a nasty one ahead of us. But I''m sure Puyosuke can neutralize them.
I boarded Surfi and headed off to explore the sunken ship.
I knew I was fast on Surfi. As soon as I reach my destination, I''m immediately attacked by the Archerfish.
"All of you, get behind me! Puyosuke! Please!"
Puyosuke bes a wall and prevents the shooting. It seems that shooting doesn''t work on Puyosuke after all. It''s just like the other day.
I guess I don''t need to go easy on them like I did the other day. I readied my spear and charged in with Surfi. Ion and the others followed suit and overran the area.
"It''s totally different from Surfi here. Good child, good child"
"Kyukyu!"
Lian praised it and Surfi was in a good mood.
I''mplicated. The reason why it''s totally different is because it''s me. As a result of Ion, Lian and Dian being able to attack with me on Surfi without worrying about me, have changed their movements dramatically.
When I think that this is the original underwater battle between Ion, Lian and Dian, I realize how much I''ve been dragging them down.
"E...Emm...I''m d you did the underwater battle, Takuto-san!"
Ionforted me, but I didn''t deny that I was slowing them down. Well, I''ll make up for it in the future. I''m sure the useless sign will stay on for a long time without Surfi, though.
As we continue to explore the wreck, we find more monsters besides Octopus.
<b>Ship Ghost Lv8</b>
<b>Normal Monster Subjugation Target Active</b>
It''s a ghost with white decorations. It seems to be a ghost that''s haunting the ship. It probably has possession, so I''ll take it out quickly with saint.
Any member of this team can be possessed by it, so it''s out. No hard feelings, please.
I continue to search, but I can''t find the treasure I''m looking for. Well, it''s not every day you find a ship loaded with treasure.
Finally, however, I found a medium-sized ship that looked promising. Then another monster appears for the first time.
<b>Skeleton Explorer Lv10</b>
<b>Normal Monster Subjugation Target Active</b>
Explorer means that this ship is an explorer''s ship, right? This is highly expected. At any rate--
"Saint!"
Goodbye, explorer. We''ll take your treasure. Oh? I''m starting to feel like a pirate.
There were a lot of skeleton explorers on the ship. Well, theyre all one blow with the saint, so no problem.
I went through the rooms. Finally, I found a treasure chest in what I thought was the captain''s quarters. But there''s someone in the way.
<b>Skeleton Explorer Captain Lv20</b>
<b>Normal Monster Subjugation Target Active</b>
"Saint!"
That''s a long name! It''s too much trouble! And I don''t have time for this!
"You''re relentless, aren''t you...Takuto-senpai?"
"I don''t have time for this, so it can''t be helped. It''s a treasure chest!"
Ion''s tension rises, but a problem urs. The key to the treasure chest won''t unlock...unfortunately, none of us have the skill to open it.
ording to Rook, goblins have that skill. Other summoned beasts who have been confirmed to have that skill, includes Thief Crow, Hobbit and Dwarf, but unfortunately the summoner himself cannot acquire the skill.
However, this treasure is now in my inventory. I can ask Rook or someone else to open it for me!
After being impressed by the kindness of the specifications, I put the treasure chest into my inventory and suddenly felt a vibration from the ship. I was an idiot for being even a little impressed!
"Takuto-san!"
"Not good! I can''t return! We have to get off the ship!"
""Yes!""
As we exited the ship, it was about to be crushed by a giant shell. I''ve identified it.
<b>Giant m Mimic Lv. 23</b>
<b>Normal Monster Subjugation Target Active</b>
I''d like to voice my objection. No matter how many mimics I saw, I couldn''t see anything from above!
In the meantime, the ship was eaten by the Giant m Mimic
Now, what do we do...and then the Giant m Mimic came toward us, mouth agape.
"Thunder Branch!"
The Thunder Branch hits, but it still has no effect when it hits the shell. Then I''ll time it right and aim for the inside. There!
"Blitz!"
As a result, the blitz hit the body of the Giant m, damaging it.
"Ion, Lian, Dian. Did you see that?"
"Yes! You want me to attack that thing?"
"Leave it to you. Takuto-san is in danger, so please stay here!"
Eh?
"R, i, g, h, t?"
"...Yes"
"Huhu. Takuto-senpai is weak against Ion, isn''t he?"
Lianughed at me. No, I have to show my dignity as a senior here!
"Takuto-san?"
"...I''ll back you up with magic"
I don''t stand a chance in the water...damn it.
"I''m counting on you. Let''s go! Lian!"
"Huhu. Yes! Ion-senpai!"
So I was in charge of the debuffs and together with Dian, we used blitzes and poison breaths to deal damage.
But this Giant m Mimic was not as strong as its level indicated. After a few attacks, it would close its mouth and hit you with a spinning body blow and when it opened its mouth, it would use a ssh.
If I had fought it in closebat like I did with Ion, I might have been in danger.
In the end, it closed its mouth in a vain attempt to stop me from moving, but Puyosuke got inside and I was stuck.
In the end, it opened its mouth and died. And therees the info.
Surfi''s level has reached 8. Evolution possible

Author note:
As I mentioned before, this chapter will be thest one to have trouble with the yer. NPC dark-fallen characters will appear as viins.
It''s a bit early, but the next chapter will be the so-called weapon smithing event, where you can make advantageous weapons before the big summer event. That alone is short, so it may be a slightly longer chapter.
