Chapter 1081: The Menace Of The King Of The Depths

Chapter 1081: The Menace Of The King Of The Depths



Okay, so let's quickly sum things up a bit.

The mermen exist as I thought, they live somewhere in the depths of the sea, as a large tribe of sea people.

The Divine Oasis Spirit is like an Ancient Hero to them?

They apparently aren't born from Yggdrasil, like most races, they came from another world, this world is "Atlantis", where the Oasis Spirit also came from.

There's something, a King of the Depths of sorts, that is a super strong divine beast monster or whatever, and it might have been the original king of the seas.

It was sealed long ago by the Oasis Spirit, but she wasn't strong enough to kill it.

A strange "star" came out of nowhere, fell from the skies, impacted the seal, and shattered it, slowly, it is coming undone.

The King of the Depths has the power to control Sea Monsters, and all the warriors and magicians of the Mermen Tribe are busy defending their home, so they were only able to send these four younglings.

They also didn't seem to like Oceania, celebrating she died. And thought that the Oasis Spirit was still alive, which might be because of lack of communication from the elders.

Or perhaps they never learned of her death and have been living for many generations with the idea that their divine guardian is somewhere out there, in the cities of the desert.

Seeing how they call her a Divine Oasis Spirit instead of her true name, it means that after becoming an actual Divine Oasis Spirit, Naiad visited them again to communicate them of her new title.

Also, seeing how they hate Oceania but love Naiad, and how Oceania hasn't really interacted with these guys at all for many generations, it probably means Naiad told them she betrayed Oceania and left her because she was a corrupt goddess.

I guess it makes more sense now that I've summed everything up like this.T/his chapter is updated by nov(ê(l)biin.co/m

I am not as busy anymore, and I am rather interested in visiting that Sea City, above all, these Mermen seem like an interesting folk.

"Oh my, then maybe we have a deal now?" I wondered, as I approached my face towards her. She blushed, as I felt her heart beating faster and faster, preparing herself to get her first kiss stolen from a random, bewitching woman she met.

Yet...

"Hahaha! You pass, I can tell you've got great sincerity." I smiled, letting her go as I gently petted her head. "I am not someone that would ever do such a thing. Calm down, I was testing you. My name is Maria! I am known as the Dark Witch, and I am also a Saintess of Death, I follow the doctrine of the Goddess of Death, Decay, and Undead, Hel."

"E-Eh? It was just a test?!" Aqua cried. "Phew... What a relief!"

"Uwaah..." Everose covered her face in embarrassment. "I-I can't believe I was about to give my all like that... I-I guess it does show my sincerity then, lady Maria?"

"It sure does, and you're so cute! I would never blackmail such a cutie pie." I giggled. "Sorry if

I startled all of you."

"I-it's fine, it was a test at the end!"

"Thank you for trusting us as well, Goddess of the Seas, Maria."

The boys seemed relieved too, bowing before me.

"Now, is this matter very urgent?" I wondered. "I kind of want to go pick one of my girlfriends and her son, Celes, I am sure he'll be of great help in the depths of the ocean."

"It is of urgent matter, but I think we can wait a day... Or two." Sighed Everose. "But not anymore than that... I am so sorry."

"It's fine, we'll get it done in less than a day. For now, can you wait in the ocean? Or you prefer to come with me?" I wondered.

"We Mermen usually don't visit the land of air breathers..." Aqua sighed. "And the heat of the sun might dry out our skin, so we prefer to remain near the reef, once you're done with your preparations, please come to this shore and call for us, we'll make sure to come and lead you to our home, Lady Maria!"

"Perfect, then see you tomorrow!" I waved my hand, as the four mermen nodded and quickly went back to the ocean.

I guess one little adventure before going back home is not so bad, right?
