I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 377
"Feel sorry."
However, soon, the entire hull was swaying continuously, making a squeaking sound. Even the metal-forged hull seemed to be struggling to support itself in the face of the power of nature. Rachel Miyamoto looked around. At this moment, there were a group of passengers wearing black life jackets. They looked at each other with frightened expressions. Through the cabin window not far away, she could see the wild ocean outside in a storm.
It was pitch black, with strong winds and rain, lightning and thunder.
"In such a scene, it always feels like the devil is peeping nearby." Yunia said with emotion while holding down her witch hat.
demon?
Li Yan looked out the window, imagining that if the two juniors, Satania and Vinette, were peeping through the window, it would be inexplicably reassuring.
"Captain, the ship can no longer hold its own." A sailor said to the old captain with a white beard in the corridor outside.
"Don't worry. If this is the case, everything will go to the port normally and repairs will be carried out."
said the captain.
However, Li Yan noticed that the old captain who was very confident in saying this did not look relaxed at all, but he seemed to be half-said and half-sent. The other person seemed to be worried about other things besides the storm. Condition.
"Hey, wait a minute, isn't this the sea area around Shikoku Island?"
Suddenly, a Fuso man who went to the Kingdom of Lotik for business looked at the sea and spoke to his partner in Japanese.
Both Li Yan and Rachel Miyamoto noticed the conversation between them.
"Ah, even if you don't tell me, I don't even remember it. If we estimate the time like this, we are indeed almost at the Shikoku side."
"...It's a bit dangerous now."
"What's wrong?"
"I used to be a businessman in the Shikoku area, and I heard from fishermen that there is a terrible monster living in this area. It likes to appear from such heavy rains every time, and specializes in destroying fishing boats and merchant ships. Even if The warships of the daimyo have been attacked by monsters like this before, and they were almost wiped out."
"No way, what kind of monster is that? Is it so scary?"
"...I forgot the name. I remember it was...Hai..."
Wait a moment, Li Yan suddenly knew about this kind of monster.
In order to deal with Chou Toki's daughter, he once read the list of known monsters and customs. When these two businessmen mentioned it, he did remember that there was such a monster legend.
However, Rachel Miyamoto on the side seemed to have never heard of it at all. Her expression was only dubious, not afraid at all.
If this is really a world of magic and swords, even if it is true, it would be reasonable...
On a dark and rainy night, busy sailors were busy repairing the damaged and cracked hulls and maintaining the most precious power equipment. But when lightning struck the rough sea, many people saw something strange. ,Appeared.
Suddenly, a shrill alarm sounded on the ship, and the people outside seemed to be in chaos. Then, the passengers leaning against the cabin seemed to be terrified.
On the window, in the mist, Li Yan, Yunia and others looked through the window and saw the dark things in the mist, all with eyes that were dim and glowing like lanterns.
Li Yan finally saw such a legendary monster.
"What is this?!" Yunia looked at the squirming thing in shock and asked in a low voice.
Most tourists from the Western Continent don't know what such a monster is, but looking at the two strange eyes, they know that it is not a kind creature.
The people outside seemed to be in extreme panic, and finally someone shouted.
"It's Umi...Umibozu, Umibozu has appeared...!!"
Umibozu is a well-known monster in ancient Japanese legends. It is said that it appears on the stormy ocean. It is huge and swallows all passing ships.
【bawl------! 】
A strange loud sound like a whistle suddenly resounded throughout the world in this world of lightning and thunder.
"Ah!" Rachel Miyamoto and others were so shaken by the harsh and strange roar that they couldn't help but cover their ears.
The ship was almost in chaos. It was already quite bad for the ship to disintegrate during the storm, but they also encountered the monster in the sea [Umibozu]. At this time, many people had not waited for the ship to disintegrate. Many people knew that this terrible thing The legendary Fuso people had rushed to the lifeboat beside the ship, cut the rope and escaped on their own. In their minds, falling into the sea would always have a better chance of survival than being attacked by Umibozu.
The body was dark, as big as a mountain, and it made a dull cry like a cow. Its whole body was covered with countless bows, arrows and planks, as if it could see the ships that had been sunk put up fierce resistance, but to no avail.
As a result, Li Yan and others have not yet reached the country of Echigo, but on this stormy sea, they are facing the most dangerous existence in the ocean...
Chapter 214 Shipwreck and Takeda Shingen
Darkness, endless ocean, stormy sky and earth.
On the huge iron-clad ship, a row of artillery for self-defense was stretched out. The tactics forged in several battles with pirates and sea monsters once again played a role. Facing the heavy sea surface, Uimobo Lord, in the darkness , the sailors roared and fired rows of cannonballs.
[Boom boom boom! ! 】
With the flickering flames, the war between the ocean-going tanker and Umibozu begins.
The sea outside was filled with dark red fire, like a burning sea, with water jets and roaring sounds, but the situation inside was even worse.
The cabin was in chaos, and people were disturbed by Umibozu's roar. Especially the local merchants in Fuso couldn't believe that this ordinary ship could withstand such a legendary monster, and they all fled towards the lifeboats irrationally. As a result, The panic intensified and eventually caused most of the passengers to flee in panic. Li Yan, Yunia and Rachel Miyamoto were dispersed in an instant.
In the flickering lights, Li Yan struggled against the crowd's push and felt the horror of defeat. After calling for calm several times to no avail, he finally had no choice but to focus on his friends again.
"Miyamoto, Yunia!!"
Li Yan went against the flow of people and seemed a little nervous. He watched helplessly as his companions were scattered by the crowd. When he looked around, he couldn't even find their figures.
【bawl----! ! 】
And in my ears, the loud and dull cry still echoed in my ears. The ship may be attacked at any time by this monster that always causes shipwrecks.
However, Li Yan realized that the ship did not choose to give up the fight for escape. Instead, he felt that the ship was safer and should not be fooled by the noise of monsters.
"Li...I'm here!!"
Suddenly, among the crowd, Li Yan heard the cry of Rachel Miyamoto.
Li Yan was stunned and looked along the sound. At this moment, Li Yan was squeezed by the window of the cabin by the crowd. As a result, through the window, he saw Rachel Miyamoto had been squeezed by the crowd. Taken out to the deck outside the cabin.
"What's going on? Have you been pushed out of the cabin?"
Li Yan looked at Rachel Miyamoto in astonishment as she was about to disappear, and thought in horror, he immediately rushed through the crowd with all his strength, intending to pull Rachel Miyamoto back.
However, just when Li Yan was about to take action, suddenly, everyone noticed in the flashes of lightning that an oval figure was reflected on their bodies.
Oops.
There was a chill in Li Yan's heart. Not only him, but also Rachel Miyamoto, who had lost her way. The whole crowd fell silent and raised their heads to look at the source of the reflection. It was as big as a mountain and silent. Umibozu, who was approaching from the other side of the sea...
Basically everyone focused on where Umibozu came from, but ignored whether there would be a sneak attack on the other side.
