the chairman, Zion, was about to say, when the alarm rang out.

What is it?

"<>?
Hearing this, Fiorina de Dorante, the Minister of Magical Technology representing the Kingdom of Elias, and Citranella de Zaus Firenziano, the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magical Technology, turned blue.

It uses some water magic and can reach a maximum swimming speed of 60 km/h. It eats fish at will.
They eat fish at will, making them a natural enemy of fishermen.
Originally, they live in the northern seas where the water temperature is cooler, but they sometimes migrate south on the ocean currents.
Far off the east coast of the Elias Peninsula, where the Kingdom of Elias is located, there is a cold current flowing from the north, and sometimes the Death Serpent would come south and attack fishermen.
For this reason, a coast guard has been organized to prepare for such attacks, but this time there were seven of them. It seems that this is too much for them to handle.
> is dispatched. All other departments should return to their normal duties. Repeat ..................>>
"Did you hear? The <> will be deployed. The people of the Kingdom of Elias should not be concerned.
Theon tells them this, but the people in the World Council are in turmoil and seem unsettled.
"Okay, I understand. By the authority of the President, the meeting is adjourned. ......May I ask a favor of you, deus ex machina?"
"Yes? Can I take these people to the kingdom of Elias with ......<>?"
"Thank you for speaking so quickly. May I ask you for a favor?"
"I accept."
Thank you very much! Gentlemen, if you would like to be taken to the of the Deus ex Machina, please contact the . <."
As soon as Theon said this, there were many who wanted to join the group, and in the end, everyone present at the meeting decided to go to the .
Of course, Jin and Reiko decided to go on the .
* * * *
< is ready to go in 10 minutes and transfers to the Elias Peninsula using the for the Elias Peninsula area.
The receiving side is located on , a remote islet in the southeast of the Elias Peninsula.
This island used to be ...... and is still used as a turnaround point for the <> held in the port city of Potrock.
The island was a conical volcanic island with a flat top. The construction work there created a flat area of 300 meters square, and carved a transfer magic circle on it.
< moved in from there in sequence. The airships were model 3901, 70 meters long with a fuselage diameter of 20 meters.
As soon as they appeared, the airships moved out of the magic circle to make room for the next airship to move in.
In about seven minutes, the five airships have completed their transfer and are gathered at 200 meters above the island of Io.
Ten minutes so far.
"All right, we're good. All ships depart northeast!
<
Two minutes later, a deus ex machina, , appeared from the transfer magic circle. One minute later, Jin's appeared and followed the airship squadron.
* * * * * *
"Oh, in an instant, we're in another ...... place."
"So this is the transition: ......"
<.
For the delegates of the four principalities, this was the first time to see such a transition, although it was not so unusual for them.
also followed the airship squadron.
Due to the difference in speed, they arrived at the scene almost simultaneously with the five ships of the .
The people of the four duchies are in awe at seeing the Death Serpent for the first time.
Meanwhile, one of the airship squadrons descends to the very edge of the sea.
"What?
What's going on?
...... It was to save the fishermen who were in distress.
Makina explains the operation.
"One of the ships will distract the Death Serpent like that and lead it to the sea a short distance away. In the meantime, we will save the fishermen.
"I see. ......
"Fishermen don't drown in the ...... yeah? What are you wearing?"
"Oh, those are called life jackets, and most fishermen in the Kingdom of Elias wear them."
Jarvie Keefe, Minister of Technology of the Principality of Norway, noticed the life vests worn by fishermen floating in the sea.
"They're made of a lightweight, floaty material, so you don't have to panic if you fall overboard."
"Haha ...... sailors carry <> on their boats, but you made it so they can wear them?"
"That's what I mean."
While these explanations were being given, the seven Death Sea Serpents were gradually being guided out to sea. At the same time, fishermen floating in the sea were rescued one after another.
Then <> takes a little altitude and takes a position from which he can watch the situation from above.
"I projected the situation below onto the magic screen. You can see the whole situation with your naked eye and the details here.
"Oh, this is wonderful!
"This is indeed excellent," said Makina.

Just when everyone thought it was about time, one of the Death Sea Serpents, enraged and impatient, attacked.
It was the Waterspear, a water magic technique. This is an intermediate level of water magic, which fires a spear of water to pierce the target. Its penetrating power is small but its speed is high.
Though the penetration is small, it can pierce a human being with ease. An air sac of an airship could easily make a hole in it.
However, the airship of the seemed to have anticipated this and dodged it without a hitch.
And so begins the attack of the .
"Whoa!
"That's ......."
"That's a Flame Lance. <
444 years ago in the year ......3457. When Jin was participating in the Golem boat competition in cooperation with Marcia, the Death Serpent appeared in the harbor of Potlock.
At that time, Reinhardt attacked the Death Serpent by releasing a Flame Lance in his wand.
The principle is the same. Only the power is greater, and the continuous fire is more effective.
"Oh, it hit!"
"...... What? You blocked it?
<
Still, it seems that some damage was done, but only a little.
The second shot, the second Flame Lance, was both weakened and deflected, leaving it with no damage.
"Oh, that's the Death Serpent. ......"
"It's a tough one. ......"
"Ummm...... if there are many of them, they must be a threat. ......"
The members of the four duchies were crushed by their first encounter with magical beasts.
