1202 Words
So. Kaixen have a brilliant Idea on going straight to the Hard Zone to hunt for some material that we can use for developing our guild. Since we do need a guild building.
The thing is... Mercy and Blossom agreed. Making it hard for me to decline. So I agree on a whim. WHICH IS A BAD IDEA BY THE WAY.
"Oh god... Oh lord..."
I was as scared as a chicken that right about to get slit on the neck. This thing is so scary. The Endless Blue is all I see. That's it. No coral whatsoever.
And I'm on the VERY FRONT OF THE PACK AS WELL! I'm having a panic attack right now. Mercy immediately said.
"OneSec. Calm yourself. Remember. You are the strongest. You can't drown in here. Even if shark appear. You can cut them in pieces right? Try to conquer your fear."
She said. I sighed heavily. Kaixen sped up and go beside me. His Serpent is kind of Light Greenish. While Blossom is kind of Light Reddish in color.
"Oh. You have Thallassophobia? No wonder you didn't join the Diving VR MMO."
"Yeah... I know you reign that Game. But rather than risking myself having a heart attack in the middle of playing alone. I would rather not."
"I see.. Well, Do you feel fine now?"
"Yeah. I have you guys with me. You guys are reliable so, I'm fine with it."
I said with a smile. Kaixen laughed and go back to the back. Everyone is pretty happy that we get to go slowly and explore the area. The Easy Zone, So Beautiful. The opponent is Pretty easy as well. We get their meat which can be used to feed your Mount.
The Medium Zone, Is even more Beautiful. With more colorful corals and ruins. The opponent there is Shark, Swordfish, and many more things. They're aggressive. But not scary.
I'm worried about what loom in the Deep. We're diving down and I'm just afraid that a freaking narwhal would just slam into us.
While we were going down to the Hard Area. I see the monster. As expected, It's Great White Shark, Freaking Orca, Sperm Whale, Blue Whale, Narwhal. It's just that.
"Hm... So there's no Abyss Animal huh."
I muttered. They nodded.
"I'm thinking that Floor 4 is actually the Abyss. With some more prehistoric monster and scarier monster."
Kaixen said. I think so as well... Well, that is pretty nice I guess. We get off of our Mount and immediately. Great White Sharks started swimming toward us.
My Heart just sink in. But I know that Mercy and the other is right behind me. We're Leveling right now with Blossom. Since she need a bit more to go to Level 32. She's level 29.
But that's not stop there. After the Sharks gather around. The Orca gather around. They immediately burst toward us in full speed.
With this amount of Drag. It would be hard for us to attack using Physical Power. I look at Mercy. She understand my glare.
I don't know if Mercy Fire Storm Magus Blade is going to work in Atlantis. But let's hope that Fire magic can still be used. If not. Lethal Torture would be the way to go.
"Great Eruption!"
Mercy Blade float toward her. She grab the Handle and swing it horizontally. It works and I look at the Party Tab. Her Mana was drained. But she manage to make a similar type of Explosion on the Manticore. She drink her MP Potion.
"Great news... It work. But the bad news is. Elemental Disadvantage. I can't use Fire Magic Freely in here."
She said. Yup... As I thought. So, I look at Blossom. The Monster is dead because of the Explosion effect. Since Explosion is really dangerous in Water.
"Oh! I get a ton of EXP! I'm level 32 now!"
She said. Kaixen smiled.
"Go! Get your Job!"
Kaixen said. Blossom nodded. She grab a Job Scroll from her Inventory and vanished. I look forward to what her job is.
But for now. The One Whale started to notice of us. He is freaking massive. And his Sound is really loud. Fortunately, the game designer know that and didn't put in all the sound. So it's not blowing our ears out.
"Defense Breaker!"
Mercy immediately use her Skill. Her Sword flies in an incredible speed and it just hit the face of the Whale. The was in pain. That freaking thing just take 10% of the Hp. Damn! Mercy Defense Breaker is Strong.
"Blade Storm!"
"Blue Wave s***h!"
"Lethal Torture!"
The three of us just let out a massive attack to the Defenseless Whale. But he immediately launched a massive Water Spiral toward us. Cancelling our attack all together.
"Oh s**t!"
I muttered. I immediately use Phantom Flicker to dodge that attack. I didn't take any damage. But both Mercy and Kaixen take 80% Of their Max Hp. They were spamming Hp Potion.
"This might be bad..."
Kaixen muttered. And at that same time. Blossom appear. Wearing a White Robe, White Veil, White Shirt, Black Skirt, And White Boots.
Kaixen smiled. It seems like he know what her Job is. She's holding a White Staff with Blue Crystal that shape like a spear head.
"Frost Bite."
She launched a massive Frost Explosion to the Whale. Which slow his movement really bad. I see! So she's an Ice Queen! Nice!
Using that as a Chance. I immediately use Phantom Flicker and appear right on top of the Whale.
"Frost Shield."
Blossom Muttered. All four of us was covered by this White Blue aura that absorb all the damage coming our way. And it also gives us some Lee way because. It deactivate the Drag that the Atlantis give.
"You have my Thanks Blossom!"
I said. I immediately readied my Daggers.
"Lethal Blows. God Speed."
I immediately s***h my Daggers like Crazy.
"Beneath the Moonlight!"
Kaixen jumped toward me and s***h the front of the Whale Face of. Leaving a Massive cut.
And at that point. Mercy Defense Breaker already up.
"Defense Breaker!"
Once again. She s***h the head of the Whale up. But it still have 30% of Hp Left. This f*****g things is really defensive. Without Mercy Defense Breaker, It's really hard to kill.
"End it. OneSec."
Everyone muttered.
"Lethal Torture!"
I shoot three massive saw toward the Whale and finally. It kills the thing with ease. With Mercy Defense Breaker. It's really easy to do it.
The Four of us get massive EXP and Reward.
Acquired. Items; Atlantis Weapon Vouchers. Mount Costume Vouchers.
That's the one that really caught my attention though. I look at Mercy and now. She have 2 sword hanging on the back. The Fire Storm and a blue one.
"What is that?"
I asked her.
"Oh? This is Atlantis Ocean Magus Blade. I get it along with the Atlantis Weapon Vouchers. So I might be able to grab some more equipment if it let me."
She said. I smiled. that's nice.
There's two pair in here. And both of them are flirting with each other. They go back to Atlantis and hang out there. Looking around the city.
