Chapter Ninety-Three: Deep Sea Rescue
On the surface of the sea, Nora is the first to surface, spitting out the water in its mouth, and the gill-like organs on both sides of its neck slowly fade.
Peggy poked her head out from under the sea to her right, shook the water from her face, and asked:
"Where's Asker? Did you see him? ”
"He's sneaking down to save Eleanor." Nora replied.
Peggy pouted quietly, as if to say, "That female knight needs to be saved too?" ”
Nora saw the subtlety of her jealousy, and explained:
"Eleanor couldn't breathe in the water, and was shot straight into the depths of the ocean by the dragon, so Asker had to pull her up."
"She doesn't have a ...... What's that, the Unyielding Sword? Peggy asked angrily.
"The Unyielding Holy Sword can't hold out for that long." Nora said worriedly.
Deep under the sea.
Eleanor was still sinking rapidly. The power of the dragon's tail strike on her was so great that although the Indomitable Sword blocked all the damage for her, it could not completely undo the tremendous downward acceleration and the intense vertigo that this acceleration gave her.
The dizziness lasted only a few seconds, and when she came back to her senses, she found that there was already a bleak ocean floor around her, and a terrible pressure coming from all directions.
I'm ...... now How deep is it located at the bottom of the sea?
However, she couldn't think too much about it, because she had to continue to concentrate on maintaining the holy sword state in order to ensure that she didn't suffocate, or be crushed by the terrifying water pressure on the bones of her body, leaving only the words that the past regiment leader had said involuntarily sounded in her mind:
“…… You know? The Indomitable Sword is not invincible. In other words, any transcendent swordsmanship and law sequence cannot be invincible and unbreakable, and they all have their own weaknesses. ”
"Weaknesses are relatively rare or difficult to capture for a relatively strong upper skill, but this does not equate to invincibility. The weakness of the Indomitable Sword lies in its duration. ”
Yes...... I'm running out of time......
"It is true that no one can kill you in the Holy Sword state, but the Holy Sword cannot prevent you from being displaced. In other words, as long as the opponent pushes you into a certain death situation, such as inside a volcano, deep under the sea, or even space outside the atmosphere, then you only need to wait until you can't maintain the holy sword state before you die. It's called a 'map kill'. ”
"Map kill ......," Eleanor mused, "So, the way to stop being killed by the map is to avoid being hit by the displacement skill as much as possible?" ”
"If you think so, you're stuck in the horns of the bull." Asker smiled and said, "Don't forget your duty to take on more damage for the team. ”
"If you can't be hit, the enemy can take advantage of that and destroy your contribution to the team. Not only will your team be at risk of losing, but your relationship with your teammates will be broken. ”
"I see." "The right thing to do is to wait for your companions to help. ”
"That's right." "At the end of the day, the coping control skill is a function of the auxiliary system, not yours. If you try to solve everything alone, it's not realistic, and you'll be tired. ”
"If this happens, you just have to wait for rescue......"
Await...... Rescue......
However, under this lightless deep sea, it is impossible to distinguish which side is up and which side is down. She struggled to turn her head, trying to distinguish between the top and bottom and the left and right through the light source, but in the end she could only see the boundless gray.
Suddenly, a faint light flashed in the blurred vision.
Asker was rapidly swimming down, his skin glowing like a fish's silver scales. Using the laws of predatory evolution, he has evolved the stress-resistant organs of deep-sea fish - which may be a bit difficult for the average player who doesn't know it, but it's not difficult for the pros to do so, and they are specially trained in this area.
Hurrying to Eleanor's side, Asker realized that the light of the holy sword on her body had only a thin layer, like a light bulb about to short out.
Once the Holy Sword was interrupted, let alone suffocation, the water pressure at this depth alone could kill her instantly.
Asker then embraced her, then plundered and unleashed the Indomitable Sword again, enveloping her completely.
Of course, he didn't have any natural physique, and the holy sword would last about ten seconds at most, so it was necessary to get out of the bottom of the sea as soon as possible.
After swimming for a moment with the female knight in his arms, he noticed again that Eleanor's mouth was wide open, as if to gasp for air, but he did not inhale any oxygen...... Now that the state of the holy sword covering her body has been lifted, even the small amount of air locked inside the holy sword before entering the sea has all turned into bubbles and escaped.
Asker covered her with his holy sword, but it didn't lock any gas inside...... After all, he himself temporarily added gills and swam all the way down from the sea, without carrying or needing oxygen.
Soon Eleanor woke up in agony, so suffocated that her eyes were almost popping out. Asker hurriedly took a mouthful of the oxygen from the gills of the fish into his lungs, and then prepared to kiss it vigorously......
…… Of course it is impossible to do this, he is not the kind of person who will take advantage of the other party. Just make a small straw with the will of the Holy Sword.
A small amount of will was stretched into tissue paper on his shoulder, and then quickly curled up to form the shape of a straw. Of course, the straw is full of high-pressure seawater, so we have to find a way to drain it......
Then his cheeks were suddenly hugged by the other's hands, and Eleanor had already gagged his lips first, as if she were prying open the cap of a beer bottle.
……………… Never mind.
Asker slowly exhaled the gas from his lungs. As oxygen entered Eleanor's lungs, her sanity cleared slightly.
Elinor:..................
Her thoughts were a little shy, but more of a strange happiness and sweetness that she couldn't even tell, and her arms wrapped their arms around Asker's neck and waist, and then she exchanged gases with the regimental commander motionlessly.
What came out of her mouth was a moist, warm gas that entered Asker's lungs and quickly passed through her gill organs, expelling carbon dioxide into the sea.
The oxygen filtered in from the seawater was then recharged into Asker's lungs, and then passed through the mouth and tongue to Eleanor's chest.
The two maintained a posture of hugging and kissing, and quickly floated towards the sea. As he was about to reach the surface, Asker released his holy sword, and the smooth scales around his body, like deep-sea fish, slowly degenerated and transformed into healthy human skin.
Eleanor blinked slowly, a little dazed in her azure pupils, and then her heart chuckled.
She didn't know that going from the deep sea to the shallow sea required a process of decompression and adaptation, but seeing Asker gradually degrading the organs of the fish, she guessed that the two of them were already very close to the surface.
Although she was very reluctant, although she hoped that this posture could be maintained for a longer time, it was only her unreasonable extravagant hope in the end.
After all, this is not a heartfelt, loving kiss, it is purely just a head of the regiment to save her who is about to suffocate......
Having said that, even if he kissed like this, didn't the head of the regiment feel for himself at all? Or is it wishful thinking that it is just saving people?
Thinking of this, Eleanor closed her eyes fiercely, and her tongue suddenly popped out like a swordfish, pried Asker's teeth open with force, and nimbly curled his tongue.
Suck hard.
Then, she pushed Asker out of the way, and then rose to the surface.
