Splash—
Linsey yanked up the hook.
But what he reeled in was nothing more than an ethereal splash of water.
At the end of the Fishing Rod transformed from the Tsunami Shooter was only an empty hook. There was no sign of the Calamity Fish King at all!
"Treasure chests in disastrous environments can yield the Invisible Blade."
"So could the fish king in this environment be some kind of sea ghost? Could there be a Flying Dutchman beneath the sea too?"
Linsey immediately felt that something was wrong.
He switched magic patterns and pulled back while opening the map.
The result was just as he had guessed.
Near the spot where he had just been fishing, there really was a Red Dot.
And unlike ordinary unit markers, the edge of this red marker was visibly blurred, as though the Map Skill could not distinguish its actual size.
Drip—
Linsey felt something strange beneath his feet.
He looked down and immediately realized what had changed—the seawater.
After he had lifted that last hook, the surface of the Starry Sea had begun to rise. It had rapidly climbed from half a meter high and had now reached his thighs!
Only because Linsey was standing atop the rolling waves had he failed to notice it at once.
Across from Linsey.
The Star Sea Island Turtle was charging toward him with its enormous body.
As though something worthy of battle stood before it.
"..."
"I can't see it at all."
Linsey blinked hard.
He could not fight an enemy he could not observe.
So he replaced one combat module with the Decryption Game. A conspicuous white light appeared where he had just been fishing.
Ocean Undead Lord—an immortal undead trapped in the Cursed Sea Area, possessing terrifying power over the ocean and curses.
