NovelEnglishChapter 252: Brave-252
"The... us?"
"It's called 'Ship of Theseus'."
As I said that, I took out the item I needed from my bag.
What cout of the bag was a crystal about the size of my palm. That was the 'Ship of Theseus' item.
It had the potential to break through this situation.
"Ship of Theseus... It's a story about whether a ship that has had all its parts replaced can still be considered the sas the original ship. That's the gist of it."
I don't know all the details myself, but it's an ancient Greek anecdote, I think related to philosophy or something.
"This isn't the soriginal item... But well, you'll understand once you use it. Just watch."
"I'm watching."
Miura nodded obediently.
Being held from behind, Miura's chin kept tapping against the back of my head.
"Here you go."
I threw the 'Ship of Theseus' into the sea.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe item shaped like a crystal floats on the sea without sinking.
"Next... add the materials."
Furthermore, I throw in materials like wood, stones, cloth, and junk that were in the item bag.
A large amount of junk is dropped into the sea around the crystal.
"Not enough yet. Add more, add more."
"Hey... Baskerville! What are you playing at?"
From the back of the White Dragon, Ciel shouts.
Ciel is attacking Leviathan with magic, causing Leviathan to spray seawater at her preferentially.
The White Dragon swiftly dances in the sky to avoid it, but if it takes a hit, it could be shot down.
"Stop playing around and start attacking too! This is not the tto be throwing trash into the sea!"
"Shut up. I'm busy here too."
"What..."
"Ah... it's completed."
I smirked.
Looking down, changes were happening in the sea below.
Debris thrown into the crystal sea was sticking together, transforming its shape.
It gradually took the form of a large ship, resembling a mysterious modern art sculpture.
"Alright, let's get off."
"Mm."
Giving the signal, Miura landed on the ship's deck.
As the two people landed, the ship only swayed slightly, showing no signs of sinking, of course.
"Is this it?"
"Yeah... this is the 'Ship of Theseus'."
The 'Ship of Theseus'... this item appeared in a paid additional scenaas a ship that could freely move across the sea.
This ship had an automatic repair function, so even if damaged by monster attacks, it could absorb materials given to it and restore itself.
"It's a useful item, but... the problem is, it can't be carried around. Since it's a ship, it doesn't fit in an item bag. That makes sense, right?
With this ship obtained in the additional scenario, players can freely move around the area it appears in.
Players try to take the 'Ship of Theseus' to other areas, but unfortunately, they are blocked by land and rocky areas, so they can't take it to different areas.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPlayers who accepted this limitation were resigned to it, but one player cup with an innovative method and shared the information online.
The method was using the ship's automatic repair function to transport it. They completely dismantled the ship and only took the 'core' part to another area."
"Without repairing the ship, intentionally destroying it will eventually leave only the 'core' crystal behind. The ship cannot be put into a magic bag, but for sreason, only the crystal can be carried."
The ship was completely destroyed... but when materials are given to the crystal, it automatically repairs back into the shape of a ship.
Is this a bug? Or did the staff intentionally hide this information while doing it?
Considering the maliciousness of the gdevelopers... the latter possibility seemed more likely.
They must have been grinning watching the players struggling to somehow take the ship out.
"Zenon-sama, what is this ship...?"
"Baskerville! What is this all about!"
A White Dragon lands on the ship, with Aeris, Ciel, and Electra descending.
"Questions later. Anyway... we have a platform now. With this, we should be able to stand our ground and fight Leviathan."
"GROOOOOOOOOOAR!"
As we landed on the ship, the Leviathan roared towards the five of us.
"Alright, this is where the real deal begins! We'll crush the king of the sea into pieces!"
I grinned, baring my fangs, drew my sword, and aimed it at the Leviathan.
My four companions, though bewildered, readied their weapons and took on a fighting stance.
