The Anti-Intellectualism Demon King’s World Invasion - Chapter 101



Only Noblemtl

Episode 101

At those words, Jinman leaned against the railing and looked down at the water carefully.

Like any other sea, the surface was covered in a deep blue that did not reveal the inside.

“Bomi, you! Are you lying? I can’t see anything.”

“You’re lying? Didn’t you see that I almost caught a big tuna just now?”

When Bomi got angry and shouted, Jinman shrugged his shoulders and answered.

“Isn’t that just beginner’s luck?”

“Okay. If you don’t believe me, then let me catch one more time and show you what a big deal is. Jinman Oppa only catches pyramids, but there are plenty of big ones under the water.”

I said to Bomi, who was sticking her tongue out at Jinman.

“Wait a minute, Bomi. You just shoot the arrow, I’ll hold the fishing line.”

“As expected, sir, you believe what I say.”

“Okay. I always believe what Bomi says.”

I winked at Bomi, who had a moved expression, and untied the fishing line and tied it to the arrow.

And then I attached the fishing line to the reel of the fishing rod.

“But Bomi.”

“Yes, sir.”

“How are you feeling?”

“It’s okay. Why?”

“You said that your body was hot after you got wet from the water that came out when the ice statue of England and America broke.”

“It’s okay now.”

Bomi gave a thumbs up.

The fact that Bomi’s condition has returned to normal means that she has adapted to or completely absorbed the liquid that is presumed to be the material of the Holy Water.

So, Bomi became friendly with water and became able to see through water?

“But how far underwater can you see? Can you see all the way to the very bottom of the sea?”

“Not to the bottom of the sea. About this deep.”

Bomi explained by taking five steps.

It’s probably about 4~5m tall.

It wasn’t that deep, but with the world underwater now, being able to look into the water was like wearing night vision goggles at night.

From now on, I guess I’ll have to leave the border guard duties to Bomi.

But why can’t I see the water?

Now I don’t feel the heat anymore.

I held onto the railing and looked down at the sea, but the water surface appeared to be a deep, opaque blue.

Even though I received less Holy Water than Bomi, isn’t it the same amount of Holy Water?

Is it possible that when each person comes into contact with holy water, the phenomenon they experience is different?

Well, it won’t be a problem since your eyes will open once you get into the water.

Come to think of it, it seemed like underwater visibility had improved a bit.

【Ghost Ship】

I went to the sea every day and practiced the West Sea’s Dongjeong Jingyeong without fail.

The West Sea’s Dongjeong Jinkyung was a martial arts secret(?) left behind by the 100,000 people, like a dropped item when you kill a boss in a game.

Strictly speaking, rather than a martial art that involves kicking and punching, it should be called a water-light technique, such as how to jump and walk underwater, and how to ascend and descend quickly.

When I imitated or followed the movements of the West Sea Dongjeong Jinkyung, I felt like the water resistance was reduced and the waves were pushing me, as if I was wearing a full-body swimsuit or high-tech running shoes.

However, since the West Sea Dongjeong Jinkyung only had a picture without any explanation and there was no master to teach it, it quickly reached its limit.

I practiced hard, but I could only use the basic, superficial techniques.

In what could be called the final level, the last chapter of the West Sea Dongjeong Jinkyung contained a picture of someone walking on water.

When I saw that herbivore, I squinted my eyes and glared at it with a suspicious look.

Even though it was useful in real life, the credibility of the story has been reduced because it is not Jesus walking on water.

It seemed like it was mixed with the boastfulness that is characteristic of martial arts.

I was already in a slump because I had reached my limit, but for some reason I didn’t feel like doing it.

So, I have been neglecting my West Sea Dongjeong Jinkyung practice for the past few days.

Bomi took the arrow with the fishing line I gave her and put it on the bow.

Then, after trying to sleep for a while, he let go of the protest.

The arrow quickly sank into the water like a torpedo, and the reel spun at high speed, releasing the line.

After a while, the reel was pulled in quickly as the fishing line stopped.

It felt good on my fingertips and I was kissing it.

Oh! I just had a gut feeling that this was a bigger one than the one that came up just now.

Perhaps Bomi was aiming for the biggest fish he could see in the water.

Anyway, the guy is big.

The big guy was as strong as a seasonal mullet.

If you do it wrong, the fishing line might break.

First of all, I loosened up the drag generously.

Drag is a function that causes the spool itself to rotate in reverse when the fishing line is pulled with a large force, thereby releasing the line.

This will prevent the fishing line from breaking.

Hey, I’m going to feed you some food.

I pulled the fishing line with my own hands, wearing fishing gloves.

The bastard reacted immediately to my attack with a flurry of attacks.

The angle of the taut fishing line has sharply changed.

The guy seemed to be trying to lower me into the water with him, so he put in even more force.

From now on, it’s a battle of strength and power.

I tightened the drag I had loosened momentarily, as if applying the brakes.

Then he quickly turned the reel and pulled in the fishing line.

The fish panicked and was pulled upward when the previously loose fishing line suddenly became stiff.

But the guy was no pushover.

The counterattack began immediately.

I tried to pull the line back into the water with force.

At that moment, I completely let go of the drag.

The tension suddenly disappeared, causing the guy to lose his balance as if he had kicked wrong.

At that moment, I pulled the fishing line hard again without missing a beat.

This time I was quite flustered, but I tried to resist somehow.

But since he had already lost his balance like a boxer who had been punched, he had no choice but to be pulled back to the surface by the powerful follow-up strike of the fishing line.

“Wow! It’s a big one. It’s a big one!”

Jungwoo shouted as he watched the tuna splashing water.

The kids cheered as if they had caught everything, but the real fight started from now on.

I released and tightened the reel, repeatedly, appropriately.

The guy tried to fight back against my flashy moves with all his might, but the more he did, the more exhausted he became.

For almost 30 minutes we played tug-of-war.

It took longer than I thought, but I was excited to taste the delicious food after such a long time.

Bomi Na, Jin Man, Jung Woo, and Nurse Jang watched the dynamic showdown with rapt attention.

“Wow! This is a mixed martial arts game, get out of here. Can fishing be this fun?”

“Fishing may seem static, but it’s actually quite rough and active.”

“But I wonder if you can catch him. That guy is too rough.”

“So you were supposed to catch a smaller one?”

Since the world was submerged in water, fish have grown in size, almost as if they have evolved, although they are not yet monsters.

And I also saw some that looked like hybrids with monsters.

Even as the spectators chatted, the guy’s strength began to drain away.

Eventually, the guy got so tired that he was dragged towards me like a tamed calf.

“landing net!”

“Yes. I have it prepared here.”

At my shout, Jeong-woo lifted a large hoe and showed me.

Guy Jungwoo, your relationship with Bomi is a bit awkward, but you’re quick on the uptake.

He tried to lift the guy who was dragged to the side of the boat and catch him with a net.

But at that moment, something jumped out of the sea and snapped the fishing line.

I barely managed to hold on with the strength of my back, as I almost fell on my butt.

“What happened just now?”

Surprised, Bomi and Jinman ran to the boat.

But its movements were too fast to be followed with the eyes.

The tuna that fell into the sea was already gone, and blood was gushing to the surface, indicating that the guy had eaten the tuna.

Bomi narrowed her eyes and looked out at the sea.

“Is it scissors?”

“Scissors? What do you mean?”

Jinman asked Bomi, who was mumbling, as if he was frustrated.

“I guess it’s a Caesar fish.”

“Caesar fish?”

Jinman looked back at me and asked me a question at my answer, but I ignored him and looked at Bomi.

“The guy who just shredded tuna, doesn’t he look so streamlined and thin?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“And the guy has a long, sharp blade-like thing on his nose and lower jaw, so when he opens and closes his mouth, it looks like a pair of scissors?”

“That’s right. Can you see into the water too, oppa?”

I shook my head.

Caesar fish was a creature from the Aquatic Monster Encyclopedia.

“Caesar fish is also called sea bass.”

“Are you a thief?”

“Oh. When a fish tries to catch food, it rushes in like it did just before and steals the food by cutting it with its beak like scissors. That’s why it’s called a thief.”

“What a bad guy! He stole my tuna!”

Bomi was so upset that she shot an arrow into the water.

The arrow disappeared into the water, bouncing off the water droplets like a bullet.

“Hey!”

Missing the target, Bomi stamped her foot and swore.

“Okay. I’ll take revenge.”

“Oh! Really? Sir! As expected from our sir.”

Bomi was jumping for joy at my suggestion.

But if there is a going, there must be a coming.

“Bomi. Could you please take charge of the guard duty instead?”

“Border mission? Up there?”

Bomi looked up at the mainsail.

At the end of the mainsail was a basket-shaped outpost.

When I nodded, Bomi frowned and said.

“You know I have a fear of heights, right?”

“Why are you like this, Bomi? You overcame it all.”

“No. It’s been relapsing recently.”

Bomi answered refreshingly.

“Okay. I’ll even exempt you from the morning cleaning. What do you think?”

“Really?”

Because of her previous promise, Bomi was wiping the athlete’s statue every morning.

“Oh. And I’ll give you a break from kitchen work, too.”

“Well, kitchen work is fine.”

“You’ll be tired if you stand guard at night. If you have to wash the dishes and cook, won’t you be a little tired?”

“Well, if you think about it that way, then fine.”

Bomi readily accepted my offer.

Nurse Jang approached me and gave me a quick thank you.

“Thank you, Detective Kim.”

“I didn’t want to eat Bomi’s food anymore either.”

Bomi was top-notch in archery and combat, but in the kitchen, she was low-level, or rather, below-average.

Not only was it hard for Bomi to eat the food, but she also had to wash the dishes again because she wasn’t good at doing them.

But the kind-hearted Nurse Jang couldn’t directly kick Bomi out of the kitchen.

This time, I naturally got Bomi out of the kitchen, so it was a double whammy.

It’s a shame that the players’ awards were not cleaned, but it doesn’t really matter since they did it to tease Bomi.

Okay. Now let’s go catch some Caesar fish.
