LEGENDARY BROKEN PLAYER - VRMMORPG
Chapter 837 - 837 - A Light in the AbyssOne of the biggest advantages of traveling by a large, well-equipped ship was the ability to rest properly during the journey.
Because of its size, this golem ship had been granted the special right to allow its passengers—or rather, its players—to log out while resting in the designated sleeping quarters. When they logged back in, they would find themselves exactly where they left off, in the same room aboard the ship.
Of course, this came with conditions.
The ship needed to stay intact—and, most importantly, it couldn’t be unsummoned by its owner. Since this was a golem ship, it could be stored away at any moment, which would forcibly eject anyone still on board.
With this system in place, this long expedition could be carefully managed.
The entire crew was made up of players, allowing them to create a shift schedule for logging in and out. This way, there would always be active members monitoring the ship, prepared for any potential dangers—be it technical issues or sudden monster attacks in the open sea.
And this wasn’t just any voyage.
They weren’t simply crossing between continental straits like most sailors or adventurers.
This was an expedition into the vast, untamed seas of the northwest, venturing into the uncharted waters that lay between the Western Continent and the Central Continent.
This was a wild, unpredictable ocean, teeming with unknown monsters and unseen perils.
Few players in Immortal Legacy had ever dared to venture this deep into the ocean, mainly because such a journey demanded an elite team—not just strong, but experienced in naval survival.
Most players only sailed between known continents, where the threat level was manageable and the dangers could be anticipated.
But this journey?
This was something else entirely.
If everything went smoothly, they should reach their target location within a month—at least, according to SexyGrill’s calculations.
A long journey awaited them.
And the true challenges had yet to reveal themselves.
Then, out of nowhere—
A violent jolt shook the ship.
It felt as if something massive had slammed into its side, sending a powerful tremor rippling across the deck.
Startled by the impact, several crew members rushed toward the deck to check what had happened. The sun blazed overhead, marking it as midday, but despite the clear skies, the ocean waves were rough and unrelenting.
Broken was already there, stepping forward toward Mizuki, who had been keeping watch over the surrounding waters.
The waves in this part of the ocean were insanely strong—one wrong movement, and it felt like the entire ship could be flipped over. But the impact they had just felt…
That wasn’t just the sea.
It felt like something huge had collided with the ship.
“Mizuki, what was that?” Broken asked, his expression sharp with curiosity.
“It’s a sea creature.” Mizuki responded, but there was no panic in her voice—only excitement, as if this was something completely normal to her. And knowing her, it probably was.
Then—movement.
All eyes turned toward the starboard side of the ship.
From beneath the ocean’s surface, the creature responsible for the collision finally began to emerge.
Broken’s eyes widened.
A sea serpent?
No. Not just any sea serpent.
This thing was at least four times the length of their ship.
A colossal, serpentine sea creature glides just beneath the ocean’s surface, its immense body causing rolling ripples across the water. Its scales shimmer with an eerie bioluminescence, barely visible through the dark, shifting waves.
“Damn…” he muttered under his breath.
“Should we kill it?”
The words left his mouth instinctively, but Mizuki simply shook her head.
“No, King… it’s fine. They aren’t aggressive unless we attack first.”
Broken squinted at the creature’s stats.
[Tide Serpent Lvl. 260]
A high-level monster, yet still classified as Common-grade.
But even so—just looking at it was enough to send a chill down his spine.
Something about its form—the sheer size, the unnatural way it moved—felt different from the monsters he had encountered on land.
It wasn’t just powerful.
It was horrifying.
The ocean was a world of its own, and the creatures that lurked within it…
They carried a different kind of terror.
“For something this huge, its level isn’t actually that high…” he murmured.
At that, Mizuki laughed.
“King, you’ve really gotten used to fighting monsters with insanely high difficulty, huh? You’re so used to extreme-level enemies that you think a Level 260 sea serpent is weak?”
Broken let out a small chuckle in return.
“I mean, I was hoping something this big would at least be Epic-grade or Unique-grade. That way, hunting it would actually be tempting.”
Mizuki smirked. “Don’t worry, King. We’ll be seeing far more dangerous monsters soon enough.”
Broken sighed, running a hand through his hair.
“Yeah, sure… I just hope this ship doesn’t fall apart when that time comes.”
Without realizing it, this journey across the vast ocean was turning out to be far beyond what Broken had expected.
At first, he had assumed it would be monotonous—days and weeks of being confined to the same small space, with nothing but endless water in every direction.
But what he was witnessing firsthand?
It was something else entirely.
It was extraordinary.
***
One particular night, beneath the glow of the full moon and a sky littered with countless stars, something massive suddenly cast a shadow over the ship.
What was that?
Feeling an unease settle in his chest, Broken stepped out onto the deck, where Mizuki was already pointing toward the sky.
At that exact moment—
A deep, echoing roar rang through the night, reverberating across the ocean, as if summoning the creatures beneath the waves.
Broken narrowed his eyes, trying to make out the shape above them.
It was massive.
Too large to be a normal bird.
And then—
“It’s a flying whale,” Mizuki answered before he could even ask.
Monstrous flying whales soar through the night sky, their colossal, armored bodies lined with glowing scars. Their glowing eyes pierce the darkness as jagged fins and bone-like protrusions trail ghostly mist. With razor-lined maws and eerie bioluminescence, they exude both awe and terror, like ancient sky leviathans ruling the heavens.
“Harbinger Whale,” Broken swallowed hard, staring up in disbelief.
The so-called whale was nearly twice the size of their ship.
And not just one—there were four of them, drifting effortlessly through the night sky, their colossal bodies illuminated by the soft glow of the moon.
Damn.
This was beyond incredible.
“Wait, they actually fly? Or do they also dive into the ocean?”
“They’re sea creatures, King,” Mizuki explained with a small giggle. “But… every now and then, they choose to float through the skies like this.”
Broken’s gaze remained locked on the majestic creatures above, their silhouettes momentarily blocking the moonlight.
But then—
A strange feeling crept up his spine.
Something else was off.
His instincts screamed at him to look down.
So he did.
And what he saw below took his breath away.
At first, the ocean had been nothing but a dark abyss, reflecting the countless stars above.
But now…
It was as if those stars had fallen into the water.
Countless glowing dots began to emerge beneath the surface, stretching far and wide beneath the ship, forming a vast, bioluminescent spectacle that shimmered in an array of mesmerizing colors.
It was stunning.
It was unreal.
Mizuki, noticing his reaction, smiled softly.
“Those are deep-sea creatures that emit light… They’re drawn to things that intrigue them. A ship this large? It’s the perfect thing to capture their curiosity.”
Broken stood there, silent, awestruck, taking in the breathtaking view.
He had seen powerful monsters, battled legendary creatures, and conquered dungeons.
But this?
This was pure wonder.
Just then, a new voice joined them.
SexyGrill had just logged in.
She had heard the commotion and rushed onto the deck, only to be greeted by the unbelievable sight.
She stopped beside Broken, glancing down at the glowing sea, eyes wide with amazement.
“Wow… it’s so beautiful…” she whispered, then let out a small, breathless laugh.
But at a moment like this, Broken suddenly felt a sense of unease.
A nagging suspicion crept into his mind.
“Wait… you said this ship attracts sea creatures, right?” His voice was calm, but there was an edge of caution to it.
His gaze flickered downward, watching the mesmerizing lights beneath the waves.
“Don’t tell me… the creatures drawn to us aren’t just these cute little glowing ones?”
As soon as the words left his mouth, he snapped his head toward Mizuki—
And at that exact moment—
He caught the briefest flicker of shock on her face.
She knew something.
Or worse—
Something was already here.
