heThe transporter device that the siblings mentioned is actually a floating platform that looks like an elevator as it transports you into the higher platform where it seems to be the main bridge towards the gates of the Kingdom of the Deep Sea. As I said before, I have not visited this place before and everything would be a breath of fresh air here for me. But the moment I step onto the platform, I felt something wrong.
My instincts are never wrong and although it's not about the siblings, the closer we get into the kingdom, the more I felt something is off.
"The kingdom would be submerged in the water so I will be bestowing the reward much earlier than usual," Sera announced.
"Are you sure? We can just use the Lung Moss that we have though it's not enough for every one of us and some have to go back to the Summon's Area," I offered an alternative though it would cripple a lot of our fighting power. Since we only got 3 Lung Moss. Tina and I would need one so that only means only one of my followers will have to return to the summons area on standby.
"Ah, don't worry. Also, I won't recommend using the Lung Moss. Maybe you already know this since you picked them up but having them as an alternative to my blessing is basically going to endanger your lives in the long run since the effect of the Lung Moss won't last long. And when you said you only have a limited amount of it, that even spells trouble. Once you ran out of it, you will be doomed to drowning. After all, the Kingdom of the Deep Sea is not even close to the surface, you guys would die before you guys can even reach halfway to the surface to breathe," Li explained.
Damn, he is right. We don't know how long will it be before we can finish our business in the Kingdom of the Deep Sea. It would be more logical to receive the blessing than use the lesser alternative that has a chance to even kill you in the process.
"Fine. Although I don't want to accept it until the end of the commission, there is no point if we can't finish anything if we don't accept the blessing."
"That's good. Now, gather around and we will cast it. Anyway, do you have other members with you that you want to bestow me some blessing? I can't really tell but I am sensing a few more guys that are not around you. I bet they are your backup companions?"
"Yeah. Do they still count? They are quite numerous and I don't know if it is still part of the reward and I don't think our future actions are enough for every one of us to receive it," I reasoned.
"Nah, this blessing is not a big deal. Besides, if they are your allies, that only means if we are in a pinch, we can rely on them to help. Right?" Sera smiled.
She has a point. After all, I can easily ask for a backup from them if things get too worse and with us underwater, having them capable of breathing underwater would be really beneficial to us."
"Alright."
After that, we gather on one side of the floating platform and then commanded everyone to ride Leona and summon everyone. Yes, even the half-angel kid, though from the looks of him, he is asleep. I don't know what Atlas is doing to this kid on why he is easily subdued though I won't ask since it is working. Once they are now on Leona's back, I summoned them in one go.
"WOAH! A gryphon?!" Sera was surprised to see Leona in the flesh.
"Aren't the gryphons those legendary beasts that roam around the land once upon a time? They are only in the legends! How come I am seeing one alive right now?" Li is also shocked too just like how Sera did. Well, anyone did have the same reactions time and time again especially when they first meet Leona.
"Ahem, I apologize. Now then, let's perform the ritual. Please wait for a bit," Sera then closed her left eye and started chanting. However, I can't hear anything coming from her mouth. It was just like she wasn't even chanting but just moving her mouth randomly.
But then...
FWOOOOOOOMMMMM!
The surroundings started to gather water particles and they started to surround us. A huge magic circle appeared and the water encircled us inside a dome-like place. I still keep my guard up in case the two do something. Then, all of a sudden, the water collapsed to us the moment the magic circle started to glow around our bodies.
It's an ice-cold feeling but not to the point that you will think you are freezing. It's like they felt more comforting than usual. Then, the water splash at us and drenched us. However, the water quickly dried up and we are back to our dry state once again.
-You have received the [Blessing of the Primordial Sea God]
"Wah? How come we got dry as soon as we get wet from the water?! Even my flames can't dry wetness that fast!" Lucia exclaimed as she starts holding her clothes looking for damp places.
"Haha! That's just a form of "baptism" in human terms. It's not meant to drench you guys in the water. It's something to complete the spell's process so it didn't really matter whether you got wet or not." Li explained.
"So does that mean we can now breathe underwater?" Tina asked.
"We can help you test it out," Sera said and snapped her fingers. In a blink of an eye, Tina's head is engulfed with the same water but this time, her whole head is now inside the globe of water.
Tina almost panicked but then she realized she can breathe without difficulty in the water.
"Woah, indeed, I don't feel like I am being drowned in the water! In fact, I can even breathe and speak!"
Then the water bubble that enveloped her head pops and she was back again breathing air.
"Is that how the blessing works or are there some things other than that?" I asked. After all, the blessings are not just there to give only one effect. They give a variety of buffs that no one would totally expect most of the time.
"Yep, you are right that it is not the only effect. However, I will only tell one of the most important effects it has while the others should be something you guys should just try to discover all by yourself. The second effect is that you can convert the surrounding water and use it to propel around the water like you are inside a sort of a speeding monster. I don't remember the term you guys call it but it ha "je" sound or something," Sera explained.
"You mean a jet?" I tried guessing.
"Oh yeah, that. Jet. You can use the water to create a sort of jet power to propel around. It was very fun to use and you can even use it to escape from enemies if necessary."
"Isn't that pretty useful especially in the water?" Atlas commented.
"Yeah. If it was a movement spell ability in the water, that makes it better than I thought it would be," Lucia nodded in agreement.
"There are still some other effects other than those two effects but it would be better if you guys discover it. It's just a bit of a useful ability so you guys don't need to be obligated to discover it to know the full potential of the blessings."
"So there are still more to that then?" I asked.
"Yes. Though it's just useful in battles. It's not really similar to these two that functions outside of combat. The other effects function more in combat so you will only discover them in battle. But I can assure you they are all positive effects so you guys would really be happy with these effects especially if you plan to hunt around Aquagius."
"Well, that arrangement is enough. Knowing we can breathe underwater is interesting enough so we will try to discover it all by ourselves. Well then, let's proceed to the kingdom."
The siblings nodded in agreement. I recalled everyone except for Lina, Lucia and Atlas as we proceed to went to the platform to the next area. When we arrived, a small pool of water appeared before us.
"Once we pass these places, we will be underwater and we need to move by swimming. If you guys don't know to swim, you can just ask someone to drag you around since its much easier to move while swimming."
"Well, we know how to swim. It's not a problem," I said andwas about to enter the water portal. But then...
"HALT! WHO ARE THE IMPUDENT PEOPLE TRYING TO ACCESS THE HIDDEN GATE OF THE KINGDOM OF THE DEEP SEA?!"
An authoritative voice appeared all of a sudden.. Looks like what I am feeling seems to have been related to this encounter.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
