陶醉的妻子

After the training at the simulation place was over, Erend and Billy finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Those sighs of relief weren't because they felt relieved after the grueling practice ended. There is something much worse than just feeling tired.

That is their efforts to contain anger.

"Today's training is over. You understand the strategy well. The day after tomorrow we will do it in the real place. That place is in the middle of the ocean," Geralt said accompanied by a sly smile that Erend and Billy hated.

Geralt look like he loved to see what had happened to the two of them. He seemed to always smile all the time.

The soldiers were dispersed. They were then allowed to leave the military base.

Erend and Billy didn't say anything until they were in their official car.

*BRAKKK!*

Billy hit the wheel hard. His face was red and his teeth were gritted tightly.

*BRAKKK!*

Erend didn't say anything to criticize his actions. Because he felt the same way.

"Let's go to Barry's tonight," Erend said in a cool, calm voice.

"Hmm..." Billy took a deep breath. "Yeah. That's a good idea. But why wait until tonight?"

"I have to do something in the other world."

"Oh, right. You still have to do that. I thought you could vent your frustrations by killing whatever was across the Portal," Billy said.

"That's exactly what I would do."

Erend didn't know what Daily Quest he was going to do today. But usually, the Daily Quest won't go far from killing monsters.

Even if he has to protect a person or a group, what is clear is that he has to kill something that threatens them in order to complete the Daily Quest.

Billy drives the car out of the military base. He then drove eastward towards the harbor.

The city of Ascan has a border with the sea to the east of the city. The capital city of the Republic of Ascaria is indeed on the seafront.

The car stopped at the harbor. After that Erend came out and headed for a public bathroom which was located not far from there.

"Wait at Barry's place."

After saying that, Erend walked away from Billy without waiting for his answer.

"Good for him. He has a good place to channel his anger," Billy muttered with a sigh and got out of the car.

He couldn't wait for Erend while sleeping now because his annoyance seemed to be burning from the inside. Not letting him sleep.

So Billy took out his wallet and saw that he still had enough money in it.

Luckily, General Lennard was kind enough to give them a bonus wage at the beginning of the month.

Though, Billy didn't know if that could be called kindness because of course the General didn't just give it because he felt sorry for Billy and Erend.

Billy went to a small bar near the harbor and entered there. Erend won't mind even if he drinks or even gets drunk first.

As soon as Erend entered one of the empty bathroom stalls, he immediately told Tut inside his head to open the Portal.

Because he wanted to do the Daily Quest now.

[ "You're pretty pissed off, huh," ] Tut said.

'Yeah. Open the Portal.'

The Portal opened before his eyes.

This time without that distinctive hissing sound. Tut seemed to know when to turn off the hiss.

In a public place where the chances of anyone hearing him were now pretty high, Tut drowned out the hissing sound of the Portal's appearance.

Erend stepped into the portal.

A moment later Erend was already in the seaside area when the sun was close to sea level. But not close enough to set for at least another hour or two.

Erend walked to find the monsters he had to slay. Not long after that, the Daily Quest Window appeared before his eyes.

[ Daily Quest: Kill 25 Sharkman in Mura Beach. ]

[ Rewards: 800 Exp. ]

[ Progress: Sharkman killed: 0/25. ]

"Sharkman, huh... where are they?"

Strangely, even when he was told to kill the creatures called Sharkman, he didn't see them anywhere even though he had arrived at this beach.

But Erend didn't have to wait long. From the sea began to appear creatures with shark heads.

Their height is two meters. With the head of a shark and a body like a human.

They wear armor from a kind of huge fish scales that are shiny and colorful like a rainbow.

The existence of the sun that had not yet set made the unique armor shine even more.

The Sharkmen were holding weapons that looked like they were made of some kind of bone.

Erend didn't know that in Eternal Earth there were underwater animals with a structure like that.

The bone is looked like a skull that has a straight protruding mouth like a sword or jagged like a saw blade.

The Sharkmen were surprised to see Erend's presence in front of them. A human figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

They said something in their language that Erend didn't understand.

Then shouted and charged together toward Erend.

"Okay, here we go."

[ Skill activated: Dragon Scale (Lv.5) ]

Erend's skin is covered with red and black scales.

Then he charged with all his might toward the Sharkman army.

*KKRAKKKK!*

A loud sound rang out when a Sharkman's serrated blade hit Erend's scale.

The sword immediately broke in two when it hit the scale.

The Sharkman was taken aback, his eyes widened.

It was a mistake because he couldn't see Erend's next attack.

*BUAGHHH!*

Erend smacked him on his protruding face. The Sharkman was thrown and hit his friend behind him.

Another Sharkman came from his left. To Erend's surprise, they threw water at him.

The water then enveloped his body and made him 'drown'.

'Is this Magic?'

Erend wondered. He didn't think of that possibility even though it was right in front of his eyes.

These Sharkmen were sea dwellers, so it was only natural that they could use water Magic.

Although, it wasn't really that worrying for Erend. The power of these Sharkmen was still beneath him.
