Deep Sea Fish Hunting Specialty Broadcast

Chapter 120 : Fight League (6)

EP.120 Fight League (6)

Rumble!!!

"Whoa!! Isn’t it still growing?! And it can use skills too?!"

Yuna shouted as she watched Diego, who was sucking in everything around him like a black hole with incredible force.

"It’s possible. The output is significantly reduced, though."

Yu Parang explained in a calm voice. It seemed the power had indeed diminished, as her voice was much calmer than during the Bermuda broadcast.

Back then, she was desperately trying not to get sucked in, but now she seemed to be managing.

Vertea was also struggling, but she was resisting Diego’s power to some extent.

Of course, this was from the perspective of Yu Parang and Vertea; for Yuna, it was a matter of life and death.

"Ahhh!! Xiao!! When is this going to end?!"

"It should be over soon. Diego is probably reaching his limit."

Xiao answered Yuna’s question while reinforcing the prison with a few more bones. As the bones were added to the shaky parts, the prison’s stability improved significantly.

"How is it? Feeling a bit better now?"

"Ah... yes. Thank you."

"Don’t mention it."

Xiao’s eyes, however, were fixed on Diego, not Yuna.

Diego was still pulling everything towards him with tremendous force, and Vertea was using all her strength to break free from him.

The image of a giant hundreds of meters tall facing off against a tiny human was enough to instill fear in anyone watching.

Yuna felt her knees weaken and spoke to Xiao.

"Um... what exactly is that skill?"

"Oh, you mean Diego’s skill."

Xiao’s explanation that followed was enough to shock both the viewers and Yuna.

[ Gigante Marino (S) ]

[ When fully submerged, the artifact ’Silent Sinking’ is automatically equipped. The artifact cannot be unequipped while submerged. ]

[ Artifact Information: Silent Sinking ]

[ Grade: Curse ]

[ A rusted diving suit made from the souls of those who resented the world and sank into the water. Their cries for help are buried in the cold water, eventually forgotten. ]

[ Granted Options ]

[ General ]

[ Durability: Protects the wearer from physical impact. ]

[ Special ]

[ Giant Synchronization: The artifact automatically adapts to the wearer’s body size. ]

[ Negative ]

[ Silence: Deactivates the wearer’s vocal abilities. ]

[ Pain: The wearer experiences continuous intense pain while using the skill. ]

[ More (4 options hidden) ]

"So... does that mean he’s enduring pain while using the skill?"

- That cursed artifact is seriously tough;;

- How bad is it?

- I tried one with a pain debuff once and fainted instantly, woke up 3 days later.

- No way, it’s that bad??

- I was at max output. The doctor said it was a miracle I didn’t die from shock.

- That’s insane;;

"Yes. According to Diego, it’s like being slashed all over with a hot knife. If someone as stoic as him says that..."

The pain must be unimaginable.

Xiao spoke quietly.

"That’s why Diego rarely uses his skill in battle. He prefers to engage in physical combat with his giant body."

Even amidst the roaring water, Xiao’s calm voice was clear, making Yuna feel a bit somber.

Listening closely, amidst the rumbling water, there seemed to be a deep, mournful scream.

Yuna could no longer see Diego as majestic.

The giant in the sea had transformed into something lonely and melancholic.

’Why would he go through all that...’

Why does Diego strive for the sea?

What drives him to the ocean?

Noticing Yuna’s somber mood, Xiao changed the subject.

"Well, you don’t have to worry too much. Diego won’t push himself beyond his limits. He’ll probably stop in about a minute."

However, the situation didn’t unfold as Xiao expected.

- Uh oh

- Why isn’t it stopping??

- Is this okay???

Diego had been maintaining the skill for three minutes already.

Both Yuna and the viewers sensed something was off.

Xiao’s demeanor had noticeably changed.

Her expression was tinged with undeniable concern.

Even amidst the fierce water sounds, Xiao’s heavy and serious voice was clear, making Yuna feel solemn.

Rumble—

Amidst the roaring water, there seemed to be a deep, heavy scream.

Time passed in silence.

Finally, Diego’s skill ceased.

After a brief silence.

His body slowly tilted and fell with a thud.

A massive vibration shook the entire area as if it would break everything.

And at the same time.

"Diego!!!!"

Xiao screamed sharply and rushed forward.

"Wait a minute!!"

In her haste, she forgot to open the door to the bone prison where Yuna was.

Not only Xiao but the entire Oceanos team, including Yu Parang, hurriedly swam towards Diego.

Even Vertea, who was still moving miraculously, rushed straight towards Diego.

A serious atmosphere quickly enveloped the scene.

"Camera!! Turn off the camera quickly!!"

Yuna shouted into her microphone.

The staff at the control center would turn off the cameras.

Through the earpiece in Yuna’s ear, she could hear their conversation.

"Hey! Get a grip! Hey!!"

Elvira was banging on Diego’s diving suit frantically.

The bickering from earlier was gone, and everyone surrounding Diego was in a frenzy, which felt unfamiliar.

Both the viewers and Yuna watched the scene in a daze.

Fortunately, it didn’t escalate into a major issue, as Diego regained consciousness and stood up again.

Everyone helped him up and brought him back, and Yuna watched in a daze.

"......"

Eventually, the Oceanos team, supporting Diego, reached where Yuna was.

"Ugh... I’m exhausted..."

Vertea, who had expended the most energy, immediately lay down on the bones and collapsed.

Diego also sat down near Vertea, staring blankly ahead.

Russell and Elvira were arguing again, seemingly dissatisfied with something, with Yu Parang egging them on.

The atmosphere was noticeably more relaxed than when the broadcast started.

Xiao approached and sat next to Yuna, who was watching in a daze.

"Sorry for the embarrassing display. It’s the first time he’s collapsed like that, so we were all surprised."

Xiao’s breathing was also quite rough.

"They’re just relaxing after the tension. Please understand."

"Ah..."

Only then did Yuna come to her senses and wave her hands.

"No, I didn’t think it was embarrassing at all. In fact..."

Yuna looked at the bickering Oceanos team in the distance.

Diego, having regained his energy, was now playfully hitting Elvira and Russell on the head.

Yuna pondered.

Perhaps they are one of the main reasons Diego heads to the sea.

His presence with friends seemed far from loneliness.

Yuna’s mood brightened again. She stood up energetically and headed towards the Oceanos team.

"Alright! Let’s get started again!"

Russell and Elvira, who had been grabbing each other’s collars, finally remembered there were others present, and their expressions were priceless.

Diego and Vertea seemed fully recovered too.

- What’s going on?

- Open your eyes, open your eyes

- Is everything okay??

- But the force is insane;; How big is it when it grows to 500m?

- There’s a video of it

"Ah, it wasn’t a big deal. Let’s continue."

Yuna calmed the confused chat and smoothly continued the broadcast.

Somehow, she felt more comfortable dealing with the Oceanos team.

"The next round is the last two, right?"

- The king is the best

- The host will probably win, right?

- Didn’t you see the bone summoning to subdue the monster fish? I think it’s a close match.

- Are we finally seeing the host’s personal skills today??

"No, that’s not it."

Even when Oceanos spars among themselves, they don’t bring out the Kraken. It’s genuinely dangerous.

- Oh, come on

- Then the host might lose?

- But it’s the host; they’ll probably win, right?
