Chapter 8: The Savior
Ahem, just kidding.

The sea tugged at Maurice's limbs and dragged him into the depths. But he struggled with all his might.
The situation was very bad, Morris's consciousness was no longer clear, his belly was full of water, and his nose and ears were filled with a lot. My eyes hurt so badly. Something in the stomach is taking advantage of the opportunity to bubble out.
Death is imminent and seems unforgivable.
But he was still begging for mercy.
As the lightning cut through the night, a shadow appeared in his field of vision, following the waves like a dexterous fish, but much larger. The TA was shuttling in the water, swimming from not far away, and Morris heard TA crying, but it was not Navarre's language.
TA is...... Humans?, his chaotic mind thought. TA wants to save me...... Is it?
Why did it appear in the middle of the sea?
"Help, save me......" But where can Morris manage so much at the moment. He tried to open his mouth to call for help, but choked several times. A wave is smashing in. This time he really sank.
He struggled to open his eyes one last time to see the world before he lost consciousness.
All he saw was the dim sea in his eyes......
Wrong!
He saw the figure swim swiftly into the water in the slightest glimmer of light, and held out its hands towards him. And by the time TA's hands were on his body, Morris was literally unconscious in the sea.
Is there a mistake? Why is the lower half of his body a fishtail? That was Morris's last thought.

The continent of Flon is extremely large-scale. There are many kingdoms and vast territories. People tend to describe it by saying, "The end of it is the end of the world."
But that's not the case.
At the end of Flon is a vast ocean. So it is at the end of the east and west, and so it is at the end of the north and south. The end of Tirell is the border of this vast ocean, which was once known as the Endless Sea, but most people have forgotten it (see the related section of the work). If a vulture could fly into the sky and look down on the world, it would see that Tirel was nothing more than a large basin of water with countless stones floating in it.
Flon was only the slightly larger one.
And far away from Fren, in the sea that is difficult for human navigation to reach, there is still a grain of sand.
It is an island roughly elliptical, with a low and medium-high circumference. The island is covered with mountains and vegetation. Countless creatures that are rarely seen on the continent inhabit here.
But now they are in a state of panic.
That was what happened a little earlier.
On the shores of the islands, the tide rolls. The water was pitch black, raging and raging.
Lead-colored clouds covered the sky, and thick electric snakes swam around in the dark clouds. A white line on the sea was pushed from afar, and a loud rumbling sound followed.
The white line had reached a hundred meters along the shore of the island, and it had turned into a murderous wave about seventy or eighty meters high, and the fish and shrimp were swept ashore, and all the creatures on the island fled frantically towards the center of the island.
Before the waves hit the shore, the shock wave generated by the first step had already lifted away the flood control forest that had grown on the shore. Tens of thousands of tons of seawater fell like boulders, and when it calmed down, only a mud pond remained on the ground.
It's an island's Judgment Day.
Huge tidal waves hit the island in all directions, encompassing the entire island. The sea level arches higher and higher. All the tides climb around the island, like a basin in the sea. The sea is about to swallow up the island.
It's not the scariest of all.
The most terrifying thing is the shadow that hides in the climbing peaks. They are huge and swim excitedly in the water.
They borrow seawater and call for wind and rain. To submerge this island.
They are on the verge of realizing their ambitions.
But someone disagreed.
It's not human. It is a human-headed snake with six arms, and it is very beautiful and very female. It has gold and silver ornaments on its forehead, long and tall eyebrows, and jewels on its ears. The figure is delicate and slim, and he only wears a bandeau top. The lower body has a snake tail and is cool and gorgeous. With six arms and six different huge weapons, she swam across the sea towards the island.
The sea was embracing her and bowing down to her.
She was extremely tall, about 20 meters long, although not as big as those huge shadows in the sea. But as she arrived, the tide had calmed down, the towering crests had dwarved, and the waters had withdrawn from the island and turned blue again.
The wind and rain subsided, and the lightning disappeared.
Those huge shadows did not dare to make any moves, and they quietly lurked into the deep sea.
She's slow, but fast. In the blink of an eye she was already a hundred meters away from the island, and in the blink of an eye she was about to go ashore.
And when she saw the mess and mud on the island, the human face was cold.
"Do you hypocrites dare to be presumptuous here?" she said angrily.
A crisp roar suddenly exploded in every corner of the sea. Countless whirlpools rolled up, and the sea surface became a mess. As if this was not exasperating, she struck the ground with a cane in her hand, which was clumsy, strangely shaped, and topped with a huge flame that burned brightly.
When she struck like this, the flames blazed. A human wail was heard from the sea.
"Don't be mad about it, Lorelei. Another refreshing voice sounded on the island, but there was no one to be seen. The woman known as Lorelei didn't seem to be flustered. She raised her cane again, the flames on it contracted violently, and the sea was calm again.
"I asked you to come and be a guest, not to let you come and scare them. The voice said again.
"You can fix them. Lorelei said indignantly to the sky, "Lester, are you willing to be trapped here?"
"What if you don't want to?" replied the missing Lester.
"I've been trapped here for 4,000 years. He said, "My time is near." β
............
Lorelei swam silently across the island, and everywhere she went, the mud turned back into soil, grass grew, and everything came back to life. Flood control forests that had been crushed by the waves were also replanted into the soil. Soon, the whole island was back to its original form.
"Did theyβthose sneaky things, crawl out of the sulfur-smelling place again?" Lorelei frowned as she looked at the distant mountains on the island, "You see the fate of the stars?"
"Yes. The death knell has sounded, and they have begun to whisper again. Lester replied with an aria, "You're going to help me, Lorelei." Help this continent. β
"I will send my Walker to walk in Tirel, and the law must not be disturbed. "But have you found the savior?"
"He's the key," Lester's voice rumbled, "he's still young." β
"We used to be young too. She said solemnly, "When you are young, you have to suffer more." β
"I will let my Walker follow him and come to meet you. She added. "They will raise a new torch!"
"It's like we ...... four thousand years ago," Lester said nostalgically.
"Hmph!" said Lorelai, who didn't buy it, "is that a good thing?"
The voice on the other side was speechless, and he knew that this old friend was not joking. And when he reacted, the goddess with the head of a snake slammed down her cane, and the whole island shook. On the island, she was suddenly lost on the sea.
"yes, it's just a shackle...... he smiled wryly.
