The Anti-Intellectualism Demon King’s World Invasion - Chapter 102
Only Noblemtl
Episode 102
Anyway, Caesar fish is something that has to be caught.
Because they will remember the tuna we plundered this time, and they will follow us around and swindle us every time we go fishing.
Moreover, if the Hallasan ship were to sink, they would rush at us, saying, “What a relief!”
So, we need to take care of the risk factors in advance.
And taste the Caesar fish too.
In the Aquatic Monster Encyclopedia, it is said that the taste of Caesar fish is excellent.
As I entered the water, the clear water spread out like a panorama.
The panoramic view with countless fish swimming around was so beautiful that I couldn’t take my eyes off it.
It was like looking at a large-scale painting by an impressionist painter with rich colors.
It wasn’t hard to find the Caesar fish among the colorful fish.
The Caesar fish weaved through the sardines like a sports car on the highway, slicing at them with scissors.
The silver curtain of fluttering shads was reduced to rags by the caesarfish’s slashing.
Caesar fish killed sardines, but did not eat the sardines they killed.
He was a guy who just enjoyed seeing blood.
The tuna that the guy had fished was seen sinking with only its heart ripped out.
Caesar fish herded the scared sardines around, playing with them like rats in a trap.
The mackerels tried to run away, but they couldn’t shake him off.
The caesarfish’s sharp, scissors-beaked beak may seem its most threatening feature, but its best weapon is actually its speed.
It wasn’t easy to even follow the movements of the guy who was gathering the school of mackerel with his eyes.
Although the West Sea Dongjeong Jinkyung’s movements in the water were faster, they were not enough to catch up with the Caesar fish.
So we prepared a fake bait operation.
I shook my body and shook my limbs loudly, like a lure that attracts fish.
The rhythm naturally developed and my limbs began to wave.
This is totally dance time.
I had to attend mandatory lecture programs related to life safety, the times, and youth guidance.
There I discovered an unexpected talent.
He said that in order to get closer to the youth, you have to experience their culture firsthand, so he taught rap and dance in the program.
My colleagues who had pot bellies soon lost interest, saying it was hard, but surprisingly, I found it fun and followed along diligently.
The instructor, who was a b-boy, said half-jokingly and half-seriously that he could dance well enough to appear in an idol audition.
Then, let’s revive that memory and stretch our bodies a bit for the first time in a while.
“Check it out, push-pull pick-up! Beep~yut!”
I got lost in the dance frenzy, putting beatboxing into my mouth.
As we lightly break danced, the fish passing by showed interest, thinking it was fresh food.
Fish circled around me, but to eat me, they had to be either carnivorous, like a shark, or have organs that could cut open their bodies, like a caesar fish.
As the fish gathered, the Caesar fish started to show interest in my dancing.
The bastard slashed at the school of mackerel a few times and then came towards me.
But, like the cautious guy he is, he didn’t come in right away.
I took a moment to slowly circle around me, checking for any hazards.
I pretended not to see him and just danced hard.
After a while, the guy rushed towards me, making sure I was safe.
Okay! Now!
While I was waiting, I took out a knife from behind my back.
This is your only chance to catch this lightning-quick guy.
When the guy rushes to cut the fishing line above my head, I have to stab him square in the stomach.
But Caesar Fish, this guy comes rushing in from a completely unexpected place.
A pair of sharp scissors the length of an adult’s arm came in, aimed not for the fishing line, but for my heart.
I don’t know if it underestimated me or if it was because of the underwater environment, but it seemed like it was going to kill me right away instead of cutting the line like the tuna just now.
I swung the knife almost reflexively.
If I had reacted even a little too late, the sharp scissors of the Caesar fish would have pierced my heart.
The knife clashed with the guy’s scissors.
As I was changing the direction of the knife in a hurry, the impact was directly transmitted to my hand and I ended up dropping the knife.
Fortunately, the guy stopped without a follow-up attack.
It seemed like he was wary of my unexpected resistance.
But when he saw the knife that had been blocking him sink, he shook his head, opening and closing his mouth.
That kid! Are you laughing at me?!
I was furious and angry, but it was clearly a defensive situation with my life on the line.
Am I underestimating you too much?
The Aquatic Monster Guide says that Caesarfish are clever and that you need to be careful, but I wondered how great it would be if the fish used its brains.
And strictly speaking, I didn’t lose the fight with the guy.
This happened because I simply assumed that they would attack the fishing line and did not prepare any other alternatives.
If only I had come down with the golden shield, I wouldn’t have been laughed at by that guy.
Whatever the reason, it was ultimately my fault.
No matter how good the process is, if the culprit is missed, everything is a failure.
But that doesn’t mean we can just blame ourselves and reflect.
You have to do whatever it takes to survive.
I quickly cast a non-supporting tactic.
That’s the 36th strategy: retreat!
Put strength into your knees and heels, twist your knees slightly and lift your hips up.
Then bubbles formed at my feet and I was lifted upward.
This is a superfood that appears in the West Sea Dongjeong Jinkyung. When you want to make a quick start in water with no place to step, there is nothing better than this.
There were some pictures on the back of the Jin-gyeong that looked faster, but perhaps because I was still lacking in skill, the movements were not displayed properly.
My ascent was pretty fast, but nothing compared to Caesar Fish.
Caesar Fish seemed to sense that he had the upper hand in my retreat.
It came rushing straight at my heart.
This time, Caesarfish showed off its incredible speed.
I instinctively turned my waist and spun around to avoid the scissors that were rushing towards me without any time to think.
A Caesar fish narrowly missed me.
The guy who thought he was going to pierce the heart, suddenly slammed on the brakes when nothing caught his scissors.
Then he stopped and looked around, not knowing what was going on.
I could have finished it off if I had just attacked the tail of the struggling guy, but I was just lost in the afterglow of my evasive maneuver.
How did he achieve such graceful and nimble movements?
I really wondered if I had actually done the right thing.
Honestly, I thought it was impossible to avoid the Caesar Fish’s dash because it was so fast.
So, the plan was to give them flesh and take their bones, and to induce them to stab the chest or arm instead of the heart.
But he escaped without even a single hair being hurt.
Just now, I was thinking back to the steps I had just performed while spinning around.
Oh! This is exactly the same as the herb that appeared in the West Sea Dongjeong Jinkyung.
But no matter how hard I practiced, it was a move I couldn’t do.
The characteristic of this step is that you step with your left foot twice, and as you turn your body along with the step, a vortex is created on the inside of your knee and your foot gets twisted.
But this time, my feet flexibly avoided the eddy currents near my knees.
What happened?
But before I could even think, I had to twist my body again and take a two-step.
Because the Caesar fish that discovered me charged at me fiercely again.
This time the guy passed me over like a bull in a bullring.
The guy who missed me was momentarily confused about where he was and what he was trying to do.
This time there was no reason to turn down the opportunity.
I grabbed the Caesar fish by the tail.
Then Caesar Fish quickly turned his head and swung his sharp scissors at me.
I dodged each of his scissors by shaking my upper body back and forth as if I was shadowboxing.
This movement was also in the West Sea Dongjeong Jinkyung, but it never succeeded even once.
I tried too hard and almost broke my back.
But this time, did you oil your waist?
Up and down, left and right, diagonally. I shook my body quickly.
No, and the evasion maneuver just now too, what the hell is going on?
Could it be because of the water in the ice statue?
Bomi’s underwater vision is like that too. Isn’t this not a material for holy water, but a real holy water-level power?
Min Do-yoon said that Seongsu’s power was to become friendly with water.
So, just like birds that are friendly with the wind, my movements in the water may have been elevated to the level of birds flying in the sky.
If so, this is it.
“Yay! Level up!”
I was so happy that I forgot I was underwater and screamed.
Instead of words, air bubbles came out of his mouth, bubbling.
Seriously, it was no different from leveling up in a game.
Or, in a martial arts novel, the main character meets a coincidence and his energy is pierced.
Anyway, the movements of Seohae Dongjeong Jinkyung, which had been pushed to the limit, were coming out freely.
Then, can I also imitate the strange drawing that looks similar to martial arts?
I raised my index finger and took a deep breath as shown in the picture, visualizing an arrow running from my lower abdomen, side, shoulder, arm, and index finger.
Then, the hot heat I felt when I got wet in the water of the ice statue rose from my lower abdomen and moved along the arrow to my index finger.
I reached out and poked the caesarfish’s jaw with my index finger.
At the tip of my fingers, I could feel the hard jawbone of the caesar fish.
The hot heat rising from the lower abdomen seemed to be focused on the tip of the finger, and then the index finger pierced the jawbone of the caesar fish as if a hot awl were piercing leather.
Then, as if a screw had come loose, the beaks of the scissors opened wide.
The caesarfish tried to retract its two scissor beaks somehow, but it couldn’t do it with its broken jaws.
I swung the loose blades at me to see if it would work, but it didn’t pose any threat.
Alright! Let’s go up now.
I tried a one-legged push-up position that I had never been able to do before.
Oh! This works too.
As I uncrossed my legs, which were twisted like a painting by Jin-gyeong, my body quickly rose, kicking away the water.
This rash stance is more about power than speed.
I went up through the water and fell straight onto the deck.
“Wow! Sir, how did you get up here?”
Bomi was startled by my sudden appearance as if I had fallen from the sky.
Before I could answer, Nurse Jang, who was next to me, looked at the long fish in my hand and asked.
“Oh! Is that a Caesar fish?”
