Chapter 145: V2 Ch 8. Fishing with explosives

I wonder if I am really a magnet for troubles.

Sonar contact was approaching, for now it circled around and searched for an opening. It did not scare me but if I end up in its mouth then Lilith whom I carry will not be as fine as me.

I’d pay everything to have a depth charge to throw at the monster but I have to fight with what I have. I tried launching what I have - torpedoes.

‘Splash’

“What happened?!” Lilith was trembling, I patted her back and continued tracking the monster.

All three torpedoes missed and I prepared for the second launch.

‘Splash’

When the first and the second torpedoes missed I was ready to run away but then I had my ears bleed.

‘KABOOM’

A bubble appeared on the surface which was worth the ear-r* I suffered. The monster started surfacing.

‘CRAAAAA’

A huge catfish with a large wound on its right side surfaced and headed at me. By that time I was ready to meet it with the stiletto. I did not load the guns because it would be worse for me if something goes wrong.

Lilith started chanting something and after she stretched out her hands a blue bolt of electricity hit the catfish. While it was stunned I had to decide fight or flight dilemma.

‘WSHUUU’

I accelerated from the spot and left a large splash of water behind. Lilith cried out in fear but I did not pay attention. I accelerated to the maximum speed and steamed away from the accursed fish. Soon my heart started skipping beats but I continued at the same speed. The catfish disappeared from the sonar yet I was not sure if it was alone and if it will follow us.

“Ground! Look, there is some ground!” Lilith cried out in relief and pointed at a small island.

I am surely not in the best of my condition which is why I steamed to the island without asking a question. After I put Lilith down I almost fell from the pain. When I checked the details I saw a message that one of the boilers was damaged. Because I had a repair kit I used it to fix the boiler. When I was fixed I stepped on the water and…

‘Ping, ping, ping’

[Damn it, why would it follow us?]

Torpedoes were already reloaded but just in case I loaded the secondary and tertiary guns. After I was prepared I sailed into the swamp.

This time the enemy was not approaching me that rashly and when I dropped a stone just for a test, the catfish changed its direction. I set the maximum spread for the torpedo launchers and prepared. After a lot of stones I found a pattern the monster uses and launched torpedoes.

‘Splash’

The fact that I suffered another ear bleeding confirms that the catfish is not happy as well.

‘Splash’

One more hit, but this time I was really thinking that I will need my ears fixed. I was completely dumbfounded that the damned fish did not die after THREE torpedo hits. I doubt I would survive that many. When the monster surfaced I clearly saw that it was on the brink of death but it valiantly charged.

I opened fire with everything I have. I only scored one 4 inch hit and a small number of machine gun hits. Because of the grave damage the catfish received it was already on the death’s doorstep, so after a little bit of help it was sent to the heavens.

I successfully returned to pick up Lilith who was staring at me dumbfounded.

“Are you a sage?” She asked me with an abstracted look.

“Oh no, I am but a humble traveller.” I denied that.

“What a powerful magic! Can you teach me how to cast it?!” She fired up and now I could only sigh.

“This is not a magic I could teach you. Instead of asking the others for teaching you, you should learn how to do that by yourself.” She did not look convinced so I continued my motivation training.

“There can never be enough teachers for all of the willing, while it is possible to show some tricks, in the end learning the tricks depends not on the one who is teaching but on the one who is learning.” This time her eyes lit up in anticipation so I guess my motivation training had some success. For now I need to focus on getting us out of here before any more catfish monsters show up. I can think about how to deny that I am a mage at a later date.

I picked Lilith up and steamed at a slower speed. We were crossing the swamp for a lot of time but in the end I managed to find some dry land, which is the end of the damned swamp.

Now we just need to wait when the knight will show up. We walked away from the dirty water and were walking up a hill to set up a campfire. When we reached the top…

“Hello there. What’s up with that face of yours?” Xera was already there and began acting on my nerves.
