Demon Lord

After returning to full status.

Roger gave it a try.

Discovering the "Underwater Catapult" is a very powerful skill.

When he activates this ability.

Roger could feel that he had some kind of authority from the deep sea.

All the nearby undercurrents can be used to our advantage.

His feet seemed to be resting on an invisible sea string.

With a bang.

It can be launched at least 3 kilometers.

If you charge up for a longer time.

It's not impossible for a rocket to travel ten or twenty kilometers in one go.

Roger hasn't tested the exact numbers yet.

But with this expertise...

His combat and escape abilities at sea have undoubtedly reached a new level.

After dealing with the electric eel.

Roger then retrieved his Gunslinger License and successfully entered the starship.

The starship is said to have been sunk over a century ago.

However, the interior is perfectly preserved.

Aside from the complete damage to the cockpit and the long-term disrepair of the power system.

Roger was overjoyed by the large amount of supplies left behind.

first.

He found the most important item mentioned in the strategy guide—

The Cowas People ' "Miniature Factory".

This unassuming Miniature Factory is only the size of a suitcase.

It is engraved with the unique symbols and script of the Cowas People.

At the end of the 'suitcase'.

There is a complex password disk.

Simply enter the corresponding password to decompress this Miniature Factory.

Intermediate time.

Roger would then receive a super factory containing the advanced technology of the Cowas People.

According to the guide from my previous life.

This thing is actually just a relatively low-level "Primal Stone Refinery".

It also included several workshops for processing firearms.

But it was also a very tempting resource for Roger.

Miniature Factory have been created.

What he needs to consider now is where to build the factory.

And where to find the Cowas People Cipher Cracker.

After all, the password in the strategy guide is so long.

He had long forgotten.

Secondly.

It's basically a bunch of products produced by the "Primal Stone Refinery".

This included six large boxes of "Rough Primal Stone," conservatively estimated at 600 stones.

And 1 small box of "Refined Primal Stone".

Roger counted them.

The box contained 12 Refined Primal Stone, each with different attributes.

This means the Starship Light Prism Cannon can still be used 13 more times! Just thinking about finally being able to fire it at will...

Roger's emotions were inevitably stirred.

Next up are some of the "Ammunition Expert's" personal tips.

This included 20 boxes of Novice Grenade, 1 set of "Little Rascal" and 1 "Hurricane".

There's no need to elaborate on Novice Grenade.

These Little Rascal and hurricanes are real treasures! They are extraordinary bombs made from "Refined Primal Stone"!

"Little Rascal" is only the size of a palm.

This thing must be installed at a fixed location and detonated at a set time.

The longest countdown is 3 minutes.

The effective blast radius is roughly the size of a football field.

Its power is comparable to that of an 8th-level spell.

In comparison.

The "hurricane" is much larger, at least the size of a hiking backpack.

If there is a projector.

"Hurricane" can deliver a devastating blow to a target in a manner similar to missile launch.

certainly.

Detonation at a fixed point and time is also possible.

The retreat must be swift.

Its longest countdown is also 3 minutes.

However, the effective blast area can cover about 1,000 football fields.

It is said that the power at the center of its explosion is close to that of 11th Ring Spell.

Roger wasn't entirely sure about the specifics either.

Aside from the aforementioned essential items.

Roger also found a prized possession in the starship's weapons bay.

Its name is "Halo".

"Halo (Sniper Rifle/Extraordinary)"

Rating: SSS

"Drive: Rough Primal Stone"

Cooldown/Recharge Time: 60 seconds

Special Effects: Ultra-Long Range Sniping

"Ultra-Long Range Sniping: You can launch ultra-long-range pinpoint sniping attacks on any unit within 15 kilometers. If the local modified Defense Value is below 80 points, it is considered an instant kill."

Requirements: Gunslinger License / Royal Sniper or Ammunition Expert

This is a terrifying weapon that is two meters long.

Just special bullets.

It was as thick as two of Roger's fingers.

Although there is only one special effect.

But this doesn't prevent "Halo" from joining the ranks of SSS.

Because while possessing very strong single-target killing capabilities, it has also made breakthroughs in solving two common problems of firearms.

The aura can be activated with more than just "Rough Primal Stone".

Even the cooling and charging time has been reduced to 60 seconds.

This was an incredible advancement for the Cowas People's firearms.

The only regret is...

Roger pulled it out of the armory.

It was noticed that its scope was missing.

This means he can only aim with the naked eye.

It's fortunate that he has True Sight.

Otherwise, this treasure might just gather dust forever.

After acquiring this batch of goods.

Roger's already bottomless pot of cards has gained even more chips.

This boosted his spirits.

At present.

He found another starship in the Treasure Seclusion Trench without stopping.

This starship is much more damaged.

There were no monsters guarding the area.

Roger searched it thoroughly.

Because it was soaked in seawater for too long.

Most of the equipment on this starship is unusable.

Roger found a training suit for Ammunition Expert and a brand-new "Star Chart Instrument" among them.

The former can increase the crafting skills of some Ammunition Expert.

The latter is an essential tool for the Cowas People to travel in the universe.

Star Chart Instrument is equivalent to a compass.

It contains information about the Nine Great Planets.

However, it cannot be used yet.

Roger had to take it ashore and complete a new round of calibration before it could be started.

They successfully swept through every corner of the "Treasure Seclusion Trench".

Roger ultimately returned home with a full load.

certainly.

There are some more hidden places in the trench that he hasn't explored yet.

For example, that underwater volcano that keeps erupting lava.

Another example is a strange fissure beneath a volcano.

Roger noticed.

Strange stone tablets were carved near the crack.

His Sixth Sense told him.

That place is extremely dangerous!

Roger knew when to stop while he was ahead.

At present.

He then returned the way he came.

When we emerged from the entrance of the "Treasure Seclusion Trench".

Because it is not in mermaid form.

He attracted the attention of several monsters.

But with the help of the "Underwater Catapult".

Roger seemed to have transformed into 'Torpedo Man'—

His body arched, sprang, and shuddered.

I wonder how far it shot out!

Thump! Thump! Thump! The dark seabed.

The faint sound of splashing water could be heard.

It took Roger an hour to get down.

But it only took him 20 minutes to get back to the surface.

This was only after he realized that the "Underwater Catapult" was too physically demanding and began to reduce its effectiveness.

If you keep going at Full Firepower.

Roger estimated that it would take him less than 10 minutes to bounce from the seabed to the surface.

"I'm really fast."

On the reef.

Roger looked up at the bright moonlight, his heart filled with joy.

That night.

Roger, who waited patiently on the reef, never saw the twins again.

This disappointed him somewhat.

After all, we've put in a week of hard work.

The relevant progress bar has accumulated to halfway.

Roger's "Skin Base Defense Value" also increased by a full 60 points.

This is reflected in the overall Base Defense Value.

It's a 12-point boost (including Unceasingly Flourishing).

In this way...

His Base Defense Value has increased to 24 points.

You can reach 40 points by simply wearing some clothes.

That's the defensive power of Johnny Turtle!

This is data that most extraordinary humanoid beings simply cannot achieve.

And in this process.

Roger realized that his skin had also undergone some kind of change.

His skin seemed to be subtly divided into two layers, an inner and an outer one.

The outer layer of skin gradually becomes smooth and supple.

It's reached the point where you can squeeze it and water will come out.

Meanwhile, the inner layer of skin becomes increasingly rough and tough.

This aspect is not very obvious.

Most people can't sense it.

Only someone like Roger, who practices Qi every day and has Extraordinary Perception, could notice this change.

"So Twin Demons actually have three attributes?"

"I wonder what your final specialty will be?"

Despite being very much looking forward to it.

But after a round of reflection...

Roger ultimately made a strategic adjustment.

The next day.

The sign "Stay one more night" on the captain's cabin door finally disappeared.

In the sailors' eyes, as if they had survived a disaster.

Roger announced the official launch.

Heading to the bustling "Sea Beast Bay" in the northwest of the island!...

One day later.

A small island in the southern part of Sea Beast Bay.

The Earl quietly anchored.

As a Divine Art Ship.

The Earl possesses a certain degree of stealth capability; as long as you don't get too close, ordinary people won't be able to detect it.

After instructing the exhausted crew members to get some rest, he...

Roger disembarked alone.

With the "Sea Walking" and "Underwater Catapult".

The sea is like home to him; he can go wherever he wants.

A short while later.

He then disguised himself as a gloomy-eyed young pirate.

They successfully reached the Sea Beast Bay.

Sea Beast Bay is located on the edge of Thousand Serpent Island's territory and is the largest independent territory in the Interseas besides Nansao.

Therefore, this place, like Nansao, is a mixed bag.

All sorts of people and animals walked on the island.

This created a series of bustling yet chaotic scenes:

On the dock.

Someone is unloading cargo.

Someone is killing people.

Some people even kill others while unloading cargo.

In the bay.

A scantily clad woman is soliciting a customer.

Some were trying to attract a group of customers.

Some of the customers they attract are not human.

Inside the tavern.

Someone is stealing.

Someone is fishing.

Some people were also doing reverse squats.

Everyone is on guard against those with ill intentions.

Everyone had ill intentions.

Roger walked through the scenes in the painting with a blank expression.

Finally, we arrived at a low-lying hut in the Commercial District.

A worn-out sign hung outside the house.

The signboard is engraved with a rare rune.

Roger carefully checked it 10 times.

It is neither an illusion nor a trick.

That certainly represents the profession of "contract master".

This shows that he didn't go to the wrong place.

The next second.

Roger steadied his breathing and stepped into the cabin.

A cold wind swept through the hall.

An indescribable stench of decay filled his mouth and nose.

On the data panel.

"Hint: You have encountered the Devil Lord Sonsonia."

"You smell like Mystra."

A crisp voice rang in Roger's ear.

"So you were the alien visitor those churches were looking for."

"I remember the reward for reporting is 20 Gold Disc... You can decide for yourself."

"Insight: You realize that ' Sonsonia ' is blackmailing you."

I typed this with a pain I can't quite express, and I'm humbly asking for your votes.
