At the edge of the beach during the typhoon, the mermaid Halbes asked Ronald if he could move underwater. After receiving a positive answer, she continued: "The origin of this typhoon, I can feel through the whisper of the water that I am in this place."
It is underground at the center of the island and is connected to underground waterways.”
"If you act with me, don't expect to just follow the path of a normal human being."
"I have no problem with this at all." Ronald smiled slightly and then snapped his fingers with the ring on them.
Originally, he had not counted on the effect of [Angel of Power] on developing his own abilities. He only regarded it as supplementing his ability to adapt to the three environments of sea, land and air. Now that he encounters such a thing, isn't it a perfect adaptation to the actual problem?
?
Seeing Ronald's reaction, Halbers stopped asking any more questions.
Turning back and pounced, the mermaid jumped into the sea and disappeared in an instant. The raging typhoon completely erased the traces on the sea surface. Only by jumping into the sea could you see the trace of the mermaid.
After standing on the beach and thinking for two seconds, Ronald informed others of this information and then jumped into the sea.
The sudden appearance of this mermaid, and the change in attitude are even more strange. But Ronald is now quite confident in his ability. Even if there is a trap in front of him, he is sure to break it directly.
thump--
Jump into the sea.
With the ability activated by [Angel of Power], Ronald instantly adapted to the water environment, and then locked his eyes on the mermaid swimming towards the bottom of the water.
I don’t know if he was waiting for Ronald on purpose.
Halbers, the mermaid, does not swim as fast as expected in the sea, and her swimming speed is about the same as that of a normal person.
"..."
In silence, Ronald followed Herbes and continued deeper into the sea.
Compared to the violent storms in the typhoon above, when the depth of the sea reaches a certain level, the surrounding environment gradually becomes calmer and completely dark.
It was almost stuck at the critical moment when Ronald could barely see.
Halbers in front took out a short stick from his clothes at the waist and abdomen, and then pressed it down.
Snap——
There was a soft sound, and a bright cone-shaped beam of light emitted from the short stick in the mermaid's hand.
But the focus isn't on the glow or the mermaid's attitude.
But while the short stick emitted light, Ronald did not feel any degree of magic fluctuations on it, not even a slight movement to activate the spell.
What does this mean?
This shows that if Ronald is not mistaken...
It seems to be a flashlight, and is it waterproof?
For a moment, absurd and outrageous associations appeared in Ronald's mind.
According to the information he received from his mysterious companions, there were no such creatures as mermaids or sirens in this world. Everything that happened near the island should have some close connection with the original canon.
But a mermaid with the ability to cast spells and a flashlight...
This kind of thing, no matter how you look at it, is not what a fantasy worldview should have.
So is it possible that the original canon of this incident was just like Ronald coming to this world from the earth, summoning these sea creatures from other normal worlds?
"Wuling people, catch up quickly." Ronald slowed down because of this discovery. Halbes, who was swimming in front, took the initiative to say hello, "If you really want to seize the time, don't slow down in a place like this.
Slow down."
"Coming."
Ronald nodded and immediately caught up with Herbes.
A large part of what the mermaid said before now seems to be true. The flashlight did not provide much illumination in the sea, but she still swam in a specific direction as if she had identified the target. The route was straight and without any deviation.
shift.
Just as we continued deep into the sea for a few minutes, the situation suddenly changed.
Halbers, who was moving forward, stopped and looked around nervously.
"Wuling people, are there any humanoid creatures in the ocean on your side that like to engage in group activities?"
"Is there something approaching us?" Ronald asked immediately.
"There are a lot of them, and the sea is reminding me that they have no good intentions. They should be species living in your native land."
"..."
Ronald thought seriously for a few seconds, then shook his head honestly and said:
"Sorry, I don't know much about the sea. If I have to ask this question, I can also judge that it is some kind of marine fish that hunts collectively?"
Hearing Ronald's answer, the mermaid's face clearly showed a trace of dissatisfaction.
"People of Wuling, the sea is worthy of awe and pursuit."
"As a wizard, I suggest that you do some relevant study in the future. This is definitely not wrong."
"Follow me now. Let's speed up and avoid them."
After simply stating his point of view, Halbers immediately accelerated and swam into the deep sea, with Ronald following closely behind.
However, more than ten seconds passed, and Herbes slowed down again.
"No, they are changing direction and coming towards us!"
"Ready to fight!"
Under the water, Ronald was now frowning.
The power of 'wrath' hidden in the clothes did not give him any reminder. The enemy mentioned by Herbes was not human in the first place. At the same time, under the lightless sea water, his visual range was limited to the lighting range of the flashlight. From other positions, he could only see
A blurry black shadow.
Although he can activate this round's ability at any time to fly upward.
But if you really make this choice, the fragile connection established with the mermaid will be lost immediately.
"Coming!"
However, before Ronald could think about it, Herbes suddenly issued a reminder and at the same time shined the light source in his hand towards the left side of the two of them.
Then, a ferocious-looking monster appeared there.
This thing has limbs similar to humans, but the hands and feet are pointed. The skin is covered with a layer of thick black and blue scales. Under the two big eyes that occupy half of the head, there is a ferocious mouthpart with sharp teeth.
.
Ronald recognized the origin of this thing.
——Hunter.
A kind of sea creature is rumored by the coastal residents of the local world that likes to eat human internal organs. The scales of this creature's skin are extremely hard, and its strength and speed in the water are terrifying.
Ronald only learned about the legend of this thing by chance when he was still in Burrenwich.
At this moment, he was faced with a hunter who was swimming towards him very quickly and obviously had malicious intentions.
He immediately shouted to Herbes:
"This is a hunter, a sea creature with hard scales, good speed and strength. Be careful not to get caught!"
The mermaid held the flashlight with her arm, and then made a unique gesture with both hands with a dissatisfied expression:
"What the sea here has given birth to is really ugly!"
The next second.
Strong magic power fluctuations immediately appeared from Helbes!
