Chapter 1090: Ther Underwater Kingdom Of Aquarose
(Maria's POV)
After the whole battle ended, the dimensional portals mysterious closed themselves after a minute since any monster stopped coming. I think that whoever this King of the Depths is or whatever, he probably finally ran out of lackeys, or the mana he used to summon the monsters from somewhere.
It wouldn't be an overestimation to say we hunted roughly over ten thousand monsters. There might be billions if not trillions of living beings in the sea, but only so many are actually S Rank and above, ten thousand of S Rank and above monsters is an immense feat, and we have probably cleansed the sea of at least thirty percent of its deadliest monsters already! Not bad.
Ding!

[All your Stats have increased. You earned a large quantity of System Points.]
This caught me a bit off guard.
I know it was a lot of strong monsters, but damn.
Almost fifty levels worth of EXP, this was an insane grind.
It was definitely worth it to come down here, an opportunity like this is incredibly rare. Also I got myself a bunch of new materials to create underwater Undead, because they are usually very clumsy in the water.
But if I raise Sea Monsters as Undead, they're bound to be pretty good underwater.

even work?
Lastly, there's this... a fragment of the crown of Atlantis?!
How did the System find this item? Or did it create it?
I took the crown out, and it looked ancient and cold, worn down.
"System where the heck did you get this..."
[The Quest System merely creates and materializes items using Fate and Destiny Essence that
is spread out as you change the Fate of people.]
[I have no idea how that came into existence, there's a whole different calculation when those items are made which I don't control.]
[However, I would assume this crown didn't exist, or perhaps it existed once, but it was
somewhat destroyed.]
[Now, the Quest System merely restored a fragment of it using the leftover Essence that the powerful relic left behind within these waters.]
"Interesting..." I nodded.
As we moved closer to the city, I noticed the mermen celebrating and greeting us very happily.
It wasn't anything hard for us, but I guess we did save their lives, that's good.
"Princess Rose!"
"Princess Aqua!"
"You two have come back!"
"They brought heroes to save us! They did it!"
The mermen were mostly flocking around the two "princesses".
It seems they lied to us, a little bit...
"Huh! So you two were princesses at the end!" I crossed my arms. "Why didn't you even tell
me that?"
"A-Ahahah..." Rose and Aqua only could laugh nervously.
Did they thought that if they said they were a big Kingdom and not a small and pitiful village,
I wouldn't have helped?
