Chapter 345 Starting the Team

2 hours ago.

A ghostly silver shadow glided silently across the deep sea.

Judging from the appearance...

It must be an oversized submarine, with an hull made of moon-white metal, the very design Klaus originally conceived but abandoned because he immediately developed breathing gills—

【Lunar Titanium Alloy β】.

Inside the cockpit at the bow of the submarine.

Hattari elegantly wiped his glasses, put them on, and looked down at the panicked, chubby clownfish on the floor.

"People from China always like to interact with these kinds of... mascots."

Joseph, the honey badger fighter next to him, was adjusting his sonar jamming device and asked without looking up:

"Make a move now? There are quite a few people over there."

"No, my friend..."

Hattari reached out and swept his hand through the air, making the bow of the submarine transparent, revealing a deep, abyss-like trench in front of it.

"War is an art. We must choose the perfect stage, enter at the right time, and finally... give a magnificent finale."

"Mr. Ornamental Fish, are you right?"

High Priest: "..."

Oh, mud seahorse!

......

The "dark wall" is crashing down on the fish.

"Listen to my command!"

When it comes to serious matters, King Arthur shows no trace of the husky.

He swam into the air, his majestic voice echoing throughout the palace, "Construct defenses, prepare to meet the enemy! For...the Kingdom!"

The recovered king is now the pillar of strength.

"For the Kingdom!!!"

Under the call, the Golden Guard, Silver Guard, and Sea Dragon Guard instantly ceased to be divided into factions, and there were only warriors who would defend their homeland.

They quickly formed several lines of defense and stood ready for battle.

"Little one, leave this to us."

Liv reappeared among them at some point, her long silver hair dancing wildly in the cold ocean current.

"You, step back. This is not your war."

Riesben drew a chain whip they had never seen before, hidden close to its tail, and pushed Carlos among the others:

"Take care of yourselves, and wait until we defeat them..."

Carlos remained silent.

He simply took the 'guitar' off his back and darted over to Fuck Squid.

Renyi had no intention of showing off.

Just like Liv said, this is not their war.

Moreover, in such a battle of unpredictable scale and intensity, once one is deeply involved and scattered, there is no way to guarantee the safety of teammates.

Therefore, it's best to wait and see.

Wait until the situation is relatively deadlocked before rushing in to safely pick up some bargains.

"Observe first, [Deep Sea Shadow] is already on its way—"

Before Renyi could finish speaking, a strong spatial fluctuation suddenly enveloped Aurora!

"Boss!"

Aurora gasped once, then her body began to become ethereal, her mouth opening and closing as if she were saying something, but no sound could be heard.

"What's going on?!"

Ivan reacted with lightning speed, reaching out and grabbing Aurora's arms simultaneously from both sides, but it felt like he was grabbing a phantom, with no sense of reality.

"Don't bother."

"In my domain, she will meet a glorious death..."

A dark shadow appeared behind Aurora, and before she finished speaking, it vanished from the spot with her.

"What exactly is that?" Klaus asked incredulously.

"She's Sakura's newest player..."

Renyi's face was extremely ugly, and his tone was so affected and affected.

That little cherry blossom also mentioned the domain?

"Looks like it's a forced 1v1 skill. Aurora, she..." Nathan swallowed the rest of his sentence. The nun is basically a healer. If she encounters an opponent whose stats aren't too far off and who has received special training, she's probably in big trouble.

However, Renyi is thinking about something else right now.

If the Japanese player was alone, he would never have thought of trying to take advantage of the five of them.

Under what circumstances could an assassin like him target a healer so precisely on his own?

This brings us to the brilliant tactics—

Counter-logistics operations.

"There are other enemies, watch out!"

"Splash—!"

A menacing silver submarine, as if breaking through a dimensional barrier, hurtled towards them from mid-air in the deep sea, and the group quickly scattered to avoid it.

Because of his wide tail fin, Nathan was swept far away by the strong current brought by the submarine and fell into the "dark wall" and disappeared.

"Whoosh, whoosh—"

Two harpoon-like objects were aimed precisely at Ivan and Klaus.

"Hurrah!"

Ivan roared, about to charge forward and use his [Heart's Desire] to "clash" with them, when Klaus, seeing this, quickly manipulated [Newton] to transform into a honeycomb shield—

This new form was created after learning from the experience of being blasted into countless craters by water arrows!

"Don't fight head-on, or you'll get hurt and no one will treat you!"

The simulated honeycomb structure, with its countless densely overlapping hexagons, diffuses and dissipates stress layer by layer, preventing single-point overload and breakage, and effectively preventing the enemy from retrieving their weapons...

Like now!

"Bang, bang!"

The harpoon pierced precisely half of the 'honeycomb shield', and then... got stuck.

"Damn it... why can't I take it back?"

Joseph, with a cigar in his mouth, roughly pulled the wrench, but nothing happened.

Bogdan, sitting in the driver's seat, grinned:

"They probably want us to come over!"

The massive submarine hurtled straight toward Ivan and Klaus.

the other side,

Ren Yi had just steadied himself and sensed the location of the [Deep Sea Shadow], so he made it move forward at full speed. In the blink of an eye, he saw the submarine heading towards Klaus and the others.

He frowned, drew his Raven, and was about to swim over when a silver figure blocked his way.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Renyi."

Hart smiled and bowed slightly, not caring that he was wearing a mask and no one could see his performance.

"I apologize for bothering you in this way. Let me introduce myself. I am Hart Tari, contestant number 4 from the United States."

......

Aurora found herself standing on a spacious circular platform.

It was like an octagonal cage magnified ten times, without any railings, surrounded by surging darkness, where the seawater had disappeared.

Her mermaid disguise disappeared, and she reverted to her human form.

The solid feeling underfoot...

I still felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

Here, there are no ships, no captains, no teamwork, and no external assistance...

Kohei Horii looked at the other person with disdain.

Without those, it would just be a target with no ability to resist except for treatment.

Look.

She was taking futile deep breaths trying to calm herself down.

Oh?

And they even dared to pick up that greatsword that looked like a decoration!

...Judging from the way he holds the sword, he's a complete amateur who hasn't received any training. It seems this mission will be very easy.

Aurora stared at the opposite side.

The sneaky creature, whose entire body was wrapped in black cloth with only his eyes showing, slowly drew two short swords in a crisscross pattern.

She knew this was a battle she had no chance of winning.
