Let’s just tally the results. 6 fishmen ran away. Including the first fishman that fled earlier, 7 out of 30 managed to escape. The rest of them were all knocked out with a single punch. It’s alright. I did not kill them though I left them with an inch of their life intact.
There are no ropes to tie them, what should I do? I don’t think they could still escape because they’re on the verge of death. Yup, let’s just leave them alone. Honestly, I want to learn about the current situation but it seems I won’t hear them any time soon.
There’s really no way to know it. Reality is always cruel.
I pulled the sea serpent out of the coral walls. He is still unconscious. I knocked its head. It twitched but looking at his state, he would not wake up for the time being.
It can’t be helped, let’s just wait here. As time passes by, the chance that the fishmen will return rises. Still, they’re always welcome. It is easier to fight here than to battle them inside the walls.
From the fishmen’s point of view, they couldn’t understand my arrival. And because of the sudden battle, the fishmen would surely think that I attacked them because they sticked out their hands1. I would be glad if they thought that way. They are not supposed to see Pinky so it’s highly unlikely to relate my actions from the mermaids.
I’ll just wait for a while and anticipate the time the serpent wakes. I watched the small fishes playing in the coral walls so it is not that boring to wait. But it seems that Pinky is anxiously pacing around. I also wanted to go but I gestured her to stop and hear the situation from the dragon first.
「It can’t be helped, huh.」 she said, snuggling up to me and waiting for a fishman to appear or the serpent to wake up. Hah, I guess she’s just scared.
Well, it can be remedied. I want to feed the fishes. Oh, a hermit crab. There are also hermit crabs around here. They’re cute. I poked them and they hastily dove into their shells. My bad. Well, actually I don’t feel bad at all.
「Oh!」 Pinky shouted near my ears.
「Just now, I feel like the sea serpent’s eyes have opened!」 she shouted, pointed at the serpent.
I glanced at the serpent but nothing has changed on him from a while ago. Did my eyes fail me? I approached the sea serpent and knock its head. It twitched but it did not wake up.
I lifted both my arms towards the area around my shoulders and gestured Pinky to give it up and wait. Pinky tried to refuse but I already returned on watching the small fishes.
While watching the small fishes, I furtively glanced at the serpent and felt it twitched, opening its closed eyelids slightly.
!? I saw it! So your eyes were open all along!
[Log: Due to the effects of 【The Enlightened One】, excitement was forcibly extinguished.]
Perhaps this serpent is pretending to be unconscious. Fufufu. My eyes were Golem Eyes. No one can deceive it.
[Log: The skill 【Golem Eyes】 does not exist.]
I approached the sea serpent and knock its head. It twitched but it did not wake up. Fufufu. I already knew that you’re awake. Don’t you stare at me like that.
I raised my fist towards the sea serpent and punched. If the serpent is truly awake, it will get up and try to dodge my punch. Then I’ll hear the situation from him. And I can understand what he will say because of my 【Interpretation】 skill.
You won’t? You really won’t dodge? Do you want to be beaten? Sea Serpent, is that okay with you?
Ha! I unleashed a punch directly into the serpent’s head.
Bang!!
[Log: Critical Hit! Golem dealt 300 damage to Sea Serpent.]
[Log: Sea Serpent died]
Oh my god! I overdid it. It never dodged. Why did you jumped towards death? You only have one life. You should take care of it more. Such a thing…
[Log: Due to the effects of 【The Enlightened One】, depression was forcibly extinguished1.]
You’ve already closed your eyes, I won’t have a way to know the situation anymore. I might know it when I acquired perception skills like mind’s eye but the sea serpent already died. I just wanted to knock you out but all of a sudden you died.
The law of the jungle is horrible. It is a world where the strong eats the weak. I gently put my hands together in front of the serpent’s body and prayed for his happiness in the afterlife.
Now then, what should I do? The fishmen will not wake up for a while so I don’t have the means to learn about the circumstances.
