Player Who Became A Constellation [EN]: Chapter 155

Chchchchiek-!

Lizardmen craned their necks.

The seawater surged and receded.

A warship covered in massive iron plates was approaching.

“What is that…?”

“Why is a warship in the Siren’s waters…?”

“…Besides, how can it float? With that weight, it should be sinking!”

It wasn’t just one.

There were over ten.

And judging by their size and the number of oars, it was clear that a considerable number of people were on board.

The Lizardmen looked at each other. Eventually, one of them placed a hand on the warship’s hull.

Thwack, thwack-.

Using his sticky palms, he clung to the ship and climbed upwards.

Reaching the deck, the Lizardman tilted his head.

“It seems the Sirens allowed them in, but which humans are these…?”

The Lizardman stopped speaking.

On the deck, armed soldiers with blue hair and eyes were visible.

Clad in full body armor, they held large weapons in their hands.

“…….”

The Lizardmen stared at their unusual weapons before looking up.

There was a birdcage on the mast, and Sirens were trapped inside.

It looked as if they had caged singing birds.

“Save us!”

The Lizardman paused.

A Siren reached out through the bars of the cage and cried out.

“Save us! Please! These guys hunted us! And they keep making us sing! Please, give us freedom from these monsters-!”

The Lizardman’s eyes wavered. When he looked down again, the Nord warriors blinked and began to prepare their weapons.

They loaded bolts and harpoons into large crossbows.

“Well, aren’t Lizardmen supposed to live in swamps?”

“I heard some of them live in the sea.”

“Do they sell well as slaves?”

“No, their skin and bones sell well.”

The Nord warriors’ eyes gleamed.

“Then there’s no need to keep them alive. We just need their bodies after killing them.”

“Y-you bastards…!”

The Lizardman quickly grabbed his spear.

“Are you the enemy-!?”

Thwack-!

A harpoon was fired, piercing the Lizardman’s torso.

His body was flung away and fell into the sea, but the rope attached to the harpoon pulled him back up.

“…….”

The Lizardmen on the beach turned their gaze to their comrade pierced by the harpoon.

“T-the enemy… is here.”

Their comrade left those words and his eyes rolled back.

“T-the enemy is here!”

Just as the Lizardmen were hastily taking a defensive stance…

Thump, thump, thump-!

Holes opened in the warship’s hull.

Ballistae popped out from within.

Bang-! Bang-! Bang-!

With a deafening roar, countless bolts pierced the Lizardmen.

The Lizardmen’s faces turned pale.

“Everyone, get into the sea!”

The warships unleashed a barrage of bolts.

In response, the Lizardmen dove into the sea.

“T-the sea is our domain!”

“Humans can’t do anything to us!”

A Lizardman stabbed his spear with all his might to pierce the bottom of the ship.

Clang-!

But their attack was futile; the iron-clad bottom didn’t even get a scratch.

“……!”

‘It’s solid! How can they sail without any problems even with such iron plates!?’

“An ironclad ship!?”

“Even at this size…!”

“G-grab the oars!”

They tried to grab the long oars, but a tug-of-war ensued between their pulling force and the Nord’s pulling force.

‘What kind of power-!?’

Moreover, it wasn’t individual strength.

The warship advanced as they rowed the oars simultaneously as a group, and the Lizardmen had no choice but to let go of the oars due to the acceleration.

“…Oh my god!”

“You monster bastards-!”

The Nord warriors on the oar platform of the warship shouted.

“Uwaaah!”

“Uwaaah!”

Thorsen shouted from the deck.

“Full speed ahead-!”

With shouts, the ship sped as if running across a plain.

“The offering ceremony for Constellation Kalib is about to take place! If we miss them, we will have to take responsibility for it!”

The Lizardmen struggled to stop the warships.

They dragged chains and layered them to block the warship’s path.

The Lizardmen tried to reverse the warship by weaving it with chains while riding their *selfie* [personal watercraft, like a jetski], but….

“Let’s go!”

Thorsen ignored it even after seeing it.

Bang-!

The warship pushed the chains away as they were.

“……!”

Rather, the Lizardmen were hanging on to the chains and being dragged by the warship.

“How foolish.”

Thorsen sneered at them.

‘What is this ship?’

Wasn’t it made of the strongest alloy metal on the continent, made in Valhalla Palace!

Even the fairies of the smithy called it the metal of the gods, but there was no way that such chains could wreck this warship.

“Let’s go~! Let’s go~!”

“We’re going~!”

“Look! Look! There’s an enemy in front of us!”

“The bow is crashing into them!”

“Let’s go! Let’s go! It’s war~!”

The Nord warriors sing.

The warship passes by and crushes the Lizardmen in front.

The Lizardmen on *selfies* who were trying to catch up while speeding alongside became food for the ballistae.

The corpses of marine monsters float on the sea.

The Nord warriors laugh and throw nets to pull them up.

The Nord warriors’ cheerful singing is heard, and the Sirens shuddered as they watched the Nord warriors.

“M-monster bastards!”

This wasn’t war.

It was an overwhelming massacre.

A skilled fisherman simply shoots a harpoon, and the fish simply follows the bait it cannot bite and gets eaten.

“Oh! Mr. Thorsen. It seems we’ve finally arrived!”

Thorsen, who was leading the Asgardian warship, saw his destination.

It was the city submerged in the sea, the territory of Kratian.

“What? It’s a trade city, but it’s all submerged?”

Thorsen frowned at the sight.

The warship that arrived in the Kratian territory gradually slowed down.

“M-monsters are coming!”

“Run away!”

The Lizardmen eventually failed to confront the Asgardian warship and began to flee.

As they jumped into the sea and disappeared, the territory residents who had been hiding in the Kratian territory began to show themselves one by one.

“W-what’s going on…?”

The territory residents were shocked to see the Lizardmen corpses being pulled up in nets from the warship.

“G-goodness…!”

“D-did they catch all the Lizardmen? Those guys riding those *selfies*…?”

Even the Kron Empire’s fleet was helpless in the face of the Lizardmen’s attacks… Did they hunt them down!

“A-Asgard!”

Someone shouted, looking at the flag fluttering on the warship’s sail.

“Asgard, our ally, has come!”

“Did the Emperor of Kron send them?!”

“W-we’re alive! We’re alive!”

People waved their hands and welcomed the Nord warriors.

“S-save us! Great warriors of the North!”

At their cries, the Nord warriors looked at Thorsen.

“What do we do?”

“The order we received was to eliminate the enemy, not to rescue people.”

Thorsen, who was looking at the Nord warriors, turned his gaze to the territory residents.

They were waving their hands as if they had seen hope in despair.

That sight overlapped with the people he had seen in his hometown in the past.

“…Bring them aboard.”

“Understood!”

At Thorsen’s words, the rescue of the Kratian territory residents began.

***

The sea constellation, Kalib, widened her eyes.

The Kraken emerged, piercing through the vortex waves like a barrier that she had created.

And above its head, a terrifying being in jet-black armor was slamming down a golden spear.

Kalib swung her trident.

As her divine power was imbued in the spear, the water gathered and swirled.

The sharpness to cut through anything began to dwell in the water blade.

“Foolish thing!”

Kalib swung her spear.

That golden spear and jet-black armor would surely be torn apart by her water blade.

Kalib’s rotating trident and the golden spear collided.

Kwararararak-!

The water blade collided with the golden spear and burst out, its form disappearing.

“……!”

Kalib widened her eyes for a moment, and the aftermath of the trident and golden spear colliding caused a roar and a burst of air pressure.

Bang-!

A tingling pain came from her hand.

Kalib had to abandon her composure due to the pain of her muscles rupturing.

The power struggle continued.

“What…! ?”

At that time, Kalib met the opponent’s eyes.

Burning red eyes.

Meeting those eyes, Kalib felt a chill.

It was an overwhelming presence that could not be felt from ordinary humans or angels.

Such an intense energy that would make the skin deep and even the soul tremble…! ?

“Y-you, are you a constellation! ?”

“Well, that’s what everyone calls me.”

Kalib’s eyes changed to an anxious look.

“Who, who are you!? I’ve never seen anyone like you among our ‘siblings’!”

Loki was puzzled by the word ‘siblings’.

‘Doesn’t that mean there are other equal beings?’

“Who the hell are you!?”

As Kalib was speaking, she felt her spear being pushed back.

‘What kind of power is this…! ?’

In the end, Kalib could not overcome Loki’s power and her body was thrown away.

Her body, which fell into the swirling sea, had its back bounced off the violent whirlpool and was swept away by the sea.

Kalib looked up at Loki.

He was chasing after her.

He steps on the sea.

And he runs.

“……!”

‘Goodness, how can he walk on the swirling sea?’

‘There is someone who walks on the sea other than me!’

Such a question was only for a moment.

Kalib trampled on the sea and rose up, slamming down her trident.

The waves soared and rotated in a spiral, flying towards Loki.

Jet-black darkness wriggled from Loki’s armor, and snakes and wolves spewed out.

The beasts made of jet-black flames touched the water cones and caused explosions with cloudy steam.

***

It took Sharin a considerable amount of time to accept the reality before her eyes.

After blankly watching the constellation of the sea and the constellation of the north fight for a while, she came to her senses and struggled to get out of the pillar.

‘It’s tied tightly.’

But she had some know-how to release this kind of restraint.

She gritted her teeth and grabbed the back of her left hand with her right hand and gave strength.

She lifted her body and lowered her right hand as hard as she could in the opposite direction.

Wooddeuk-!

A groan flowed from her mouth along with the sound of her shoulder blade coming out.

‘It hurts!’

But there was a slight gap in the restraint.

She gave strength to the point where her skin peeled off, and she was barely able to get out of the pillar.

“Damn it, brother. What am I going through because of you?!”

Sharin complained, looking at her peeled skin and broken shoulder.

Even so, she approached the people tied to the pillars and tried to release the restraints.

“P-Princess Sharin!”

“T-thank you!”

The freed Kratian clansmen began to release other people.

‘I have to get out of here.’

She had to flee to a safe place.

Otherwise, she would be caught up in the fight between those monsters.

“T-the sacrifices are escaping!”

“Stop them!”

The Lizardmen ran with spears.

Sharin clicked her tongue and tried to find something that could be used as a weapon, but she couldn’t see anything.

In the end, she had to face them with one arm.

“Okay, let’s do it. You damn lizard bastards!”

It was when Sharin was gritting her teeth.

Bang-!

The ceiling of the palace collapsed.

“……! ?”

쿵-! [Sound of a heavy impact]

“Hoo….”

A bear-like burly man walked out of the smoky haze.

In his hands, wearing a crow mask, were Lizardmen bleeding.

“Hoo-.”

Kudan exhaled and rolled his blue eyes to look at the Lizardmen.

“Are you next?”

The Lizardmen looked down at the collapsed palace ceiling.

Underneath it, hundreds of Lizardmen were lying dead.

‘H-he faced all of them alone!?’

The Lizardmen looked at each other.

Should they run away?

But if they ran away, they might be killed by the constellation of the sea.

It was when the Lizardmen were worried.

Kooooooo-!

Huge tentacles flew around the palace and snatched the Lizardmen, dragging them into the sea.

The Kraken opened its huge mouth and swallowed the Lizardmen.

“…….”

At that sight, Sharin lost strength in her legs and collapsed.

She realized once again that her brother’s friendship with Asgard was a divine move.

Even the Nord warriors who tame the Kraken and kill hundreds of Lizardmen with their bare hands….

If they had such a country as an enemy, the Kron Empire would have become the same as the Holy Order by now.

Besides….

Sharin turned her gaze back to the sea.

‘He’s overwhelming it.’

The ruler of Asgard was overwhelming the being who called himself the constellation of the sea in the sea.
