Even if it's not cold at night or they manage to spend the night on the deck, who knows, when they're exhausted and powerless, a dragon might suddenly appear, bringing disaster and taking away the princess—no, the angel or someone else—and disappearing without a trace.
"A giant dragon..."
Shima Rin wanted to complain, but after thinking about it, she decided it was better not to, in case a giant dragon actually appeared after she made a prediction.
【Dala Bengba, right?】
What is Dala Bengba?
Do we have to explain what "Dala Bengba" is these days? It's a relic of the past.
Is the dragon the Ender Dragon?
[Ender Dragon in the End Forum]
More than a dragon, I'm worried this is a terrifying cruise ship.
Come on, I came here for wilderness survival, not for thrillers or suspense.
[The horror cruise is alright, it's just a cycle, I'm more worried about something appearing on this ship that could make my closet move.]
【Huh? No, I don't want that kind of thing!】
Hehehe, I want it!
These guys...
Seeing the comments, Dongyun broke out in a cold sweat.
He muttered to himself: A horror cruise ship? The cabinet moved? Can't you guys ever wish me well for once?
However, he wasn't too worried or afraid. With angels around, he wasn't afraid of death, reincarnation, or any kind of demons or monsters. But the comments from the viewers made him more alert; they might have to keep watch tonight.
"Boom!"
On the quiet cruise ship, the sound of what sounded like a heavy object falling to the ground interrupted Dongyun's thoughts and drew their attention.
"What's the noise?"
Shinonome looked at Gabriel in a low voice and asked.
"I don't know, let me take a look."
Gabriel stared in the direction from which the sound came, but saw nothing.
She used her clairvoyance spell to try and see through the cabin walls, but found that the blood moonlight blocked her vision, making it as if she wasn't using it at all.
So she asked, "I can't see anything with my clairvoyant eyes, should I go and take a look?"
"Don't go." Dongyun grabbed Gabriel's hand. "Don't let us be separated again."
"Ah."
Gabriel nodded obediently.
She knew that if she left, and Dongyun and the others encountered an insurmountable danger, it might be too late for her to rush back.
"Let's find a guest room with a window and see if we can spend the night there."
Dongyun knew something was wrong with the cruise ship, but she didn't expect it to be this bad.
When he saw the skeletons floating on the sea, he prepared himself for an encounter with supernatural creatures. However, he was prepared only for an encounter with supernatural creatures, not for an encounter with a supernatural event.
It got dark so quickly that they couldn't even react before the whole world turned black.
Although they didn't know if it was related to the darkness, the appearance of the blood moon made them less panicked.
Even if there might be a giant eye watching them from the sky, the red moonlight allowed them to see their surroundings clearly, which made them feel much more at ease.
Just as Dongyun was speaking, another strange sound appeared, but this time it was a different sound.
"Clap! Clap!"
The sound of wet cotton shoes stepping on the ground was gradually approaching.
Chapter 135 The Monster of the Han River?
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"
On the tranquil cruise ship, strange noises gradually approached.
Dongyun touched the stone knife and bone knife strapped to his waist. All the weapons they had left on the ship were gone; only the weapons they carried remained.
Unfortunately, neither the stone knife, the bone knife, nor the sling and meteor rope he tied to his hands were good weapons for fighting.
Fortunately, they had some angels who had regained some of their magic.
Shinonome, Shima Rin, and Kagamihara Nadeshiko naturally turned their gazes toward Gabriel, while Gabriel stared in the direction from which the sound came, preparing to counterattack if attacked.
A sense of unease permeated everyone's hearts.
A few seconds later, maybe three or four seconds, or maybe eight or nine seconds, an ugly head poked out from the corner of the deck passage leading to the bow.
fish?
By the moonlight, although the head was not easy to identify, the four of them still managed to discern some fish-like features on it.
When the four people saw the fish, the fish also saw them.
In an instant, like a cannonball, the fish-headed creature charged toward Dongyun and the others at an incredible speed the moment it saw the four strangers.
Just then, Dongyun and the others saw the body behind the fish's head and spotted the two forelimbs under the fish's body.
Walking fish!
"puff!"
In the blink of an eye, a beam of light shot out from Gabriel's hand, piercing through the fish's head and then its body.
"boom!"
Suddenly, the walking fish froze, its body collapsing forward helplessly, its heavy body hitting the deck with a dull thud.
"This is... a walking fish?"
Gabriel looked at the black fish she had killed with her magic and asked uncertainly.
"It seems so." Dongyun untied the meteor rope from his hand and threw it at the walking fish. Staring at the walking fish, he asked Gabriel, "Is it dead? Will it come back to life?"
The meteor bolt struck the walking fish, but the fish remained motionless, seemingly dead.
"He should... huh? He's not dead?!"
Gabriel walked up to the corpse of the walking fish and used her magic to sense it.
To her surprise, she sensed something strange, like life, active inside the walking fish's body.
Just as Gabriel was about to deliver another arrow to the walking fish's head, something terrifying happened to them and the audience. Black worms crawled out of the walking fish's mouth, nose, eyes, gills, and wounds.
It quickly turned into a black, flowing stream that gushed out of these "holes".
Black bugs! These black bugs again!
Seeing these black insects, Gabriel suppressed her disgust and reached out to extract their magic.
Then, before she could touch the black insects, one after another the black insects opened their eyes, and then more black insects opened their eyes, and from these eyes, tentacles like small insects stretched out.
These aren't the eyes of insects; they're the pollution of the blood moon!
Upon seeing the familiar eyeballs and tentacles on the black insects, Gabriel immediately realized that these black insects had been contaminated.
But she ignored it all and lightly touched the black insect, tentacles, and eyeballs with her fingertips.
A faint flow of magic entered Gabriel, who purified the problematic magic and transformed it into her own power.
Under the blood-red moonlight, the golden-haired angel was stained with a layer of scarlet. The black insects, eyeballs and tentacles that her fingers lightly touched all quickly dried up and turned into rotten skin.
This bizarre scene makes one wonder if Gabriel is truly an angel, or a demon?
Now that he had confirmed the walking fish was dead, Dongyun carefully approached it, used his stone knife to push aside the shriveled black worms on its body, and began to examine the walking fish's corpse.
This walking fish was not the one on the rocky beach. This walking fish was very small, about the same size as the monitor lizard that he and Nadeshiko had encountered for the first time.
Moreover, this walking fish only has two front legs and no hind legs, and even its front legs are different from those of the rocky beach fish. Secondly, the four legs of the rocky beach walking fish are like insect legs, while the front legs of this walking fish are like frog legs, with webbed feet that are very similar to those of a frog, and its thighs and calves are also very strong, making it look very powerful.
What amazed Dongyun even more was that this walking fish had two tails: one was a fish tail, and above that was a reptile tail that looked like a snake or a monitor lizard.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt like he'd seen this fish somewhere before.
Then he saw the barrage of comments floating in front of him.
[The Han River Monster?]
Wow, it really looks like the Han River Monster!
What is the Han River Monster? I know about the Miracle of the Han River.
Ah, my home is right by the Han River, but I don't know which Han River it is.
Which Han River are you referring to? They're talking about the Han River in South Korea.
