Chapter 37: Your Honey, His Arsenic

Just a little bit.

As soon as Morris fell into the sea, the whirlpool snapped up and its center was filled with sweeping waves.

It's as if a door to the underwater world has been closed.

The "Beer Barrel", which had been half-eaten by the Endless Sea, floated up crookedly.

The will that sustained the mystery was interrupted, and the anomalies caused by the magic suddenly disappeared.

Whether it's a huge ocean tide, or a huge whirlpool.

The sea was calm, as if everything that had happened before was an illusion.

Only the "Beer Keg", which had a broken mast and was damaged in many places, and was almost torn apart, was enough to be a witness tonight.

But it was already like a ghost ship, and there was no one left.

It was less than a second later than Moris entered the water.

The succubus "flickered" in the air one after another, and she blasted down like a cannonball.

She narrowly missed Merris, but she was rejected by the whirlpool.

After a loud bang, there was a splash of water, and she smashed into the sea.

Soon, she flew out again in embarrassment.

The dregs of the miracle in the water clung to her like sulfuric acid burning her.

So she floated in mid-air and flapped her wings, shaking off the water droplets from the black film. Her body warmed up suddenly, and her wet skin evaporated.

She traced the origin of a drop of seawater, and sure enough, the will to guide the miracle was not only the mermaid.

There is also a strange, unstoppable will lodged in it.

Lilith gritted her teeth, she knew what she was targeting. It was the wrestling of the gods with the adult behind her.

And she will fall from a chess player to the chessboard.

Lilith realized why the adult was so serious, she shouldn't be involved.

She broke out in a cold sweat, and many chaotic thoughts swirled in her mind.

For a moment, she even had the intention of abandoning the mission, but she soon relented and decided to hunt down Morris.

Anyway, I have a back hand. What's more, she thought......

If she hadn't done it, the Lord's punishment would have been far worse than the wrath of the gods.

Once she had made up her mind, she opened her eyes to "see through" and roamed the sky, gazing at the entire reef sea.

The sea is so calm that even the tide does not rise. It was as if the previous tides and whirlpools had drained its vitality.

But Lilith knew otherwise, and beneath the surface of the sea, a dense miracle weaved the water, keeping out all that was evil and all that was unclean.

She couldn't see through the depths. But......

They couldn't leave.

......

Muris lost his mind.

But luckily, he finally remembered to keep his mouth shut and didn't choke to death from being too busy responding to Jessica's words.

His face was flushed, and the sea was pervasive, scrambling to harass his nose, ears, and eyes.

He struggled in the sea, the murky waters crushing him to the bottom of the sea, but the mermaid girl in front of him realized his fear, and she grabbed his intact right hand to prevent him from sinking.

A panicked Morris gripped her tightly, and he felt the cold, pale blue scales on her arm.

The humanoid creature in front of him was genuine, like a fake mermaid, and Morris finally had a real feeling.

The human form, the lower limbs of a fish, can breathe in the sea, and the song can hypnotize.

It's a creature from legends and fairy tales, but now it's standing in front of him.

Even when he was about to drown, he was still deeply shocked by it.

But now is clearly not a good time to speak affectionately.

Morris's chest was heaving violently, and his panic and lack of oxygen made him almost crazy.

But he couldn't speak, he could only try to tell her with his facial expressions: I'm dying.

"Well, you can't breathe. I know!"

The girl's firm voice rang in his ears, and it was still not the language he was supposed to understand.

This time Morris noticed, she can indeed make sounds in the water.

It's hard to describe the strange feeling. All he could think of was pale, and all he knew was that she did open her mouth, and that the sea water did pour into her throat......

But she did make a sound.

The girl nodded knowingly—but she was clearly half a beat slower before realizing that this human couldn't survive in the water.

It was unrealistic to breathe out of the water at the moment, and Morris could only hope that the girl would have another way.

For example, the merfolk race's unique water magic.

She can summon tides and whirlpools, so it shouldn't be a big problem for me to breathe in the water, right?" Morris thought.

But he was doomed to disappointment.

He struggled to keep his tingling eyes open and saw her leisurely looking up at the sea.

Don't look at it, he wants to tell him. That abominable succubus is still probing here, and they can't get out.

The mermaid girl's expression became serious, and her observation should be similar to his.

I saw her frown and said to Morris, "We can't leave now, can you bear with it?"

Her tone was like blaming the young mother for her child being too greedy.

No, how can you bear this? It's like a bolt from the blue.

I'm going to die. Morris thought to himself. He's in pain now.

He couldn't swim at all, and his lungs were about to explode.

And most importantly, he had struggled out of despair, and with hope of survival, he didn't want to die here.

He deeply hoped that the merman in front of him would understand his pain, and he fluttered his limbs wildly in a panic, and motioned to her:

Hey, I can't breathe in water!

"Wait!" she replied nervously, not even looking at it. She couldn't empathize with Morris's pain, even if it was the second time she had seen him in the water.

......

Thou art honey, thy arsenic.

Compared to the dancing terrestrial human in front of her, Jessica cared more about Lilith, who was still quietly patrolling high in the sky.

She certainly couldn't see herself. Jessica confirms this, but the fear and frustration of dying at the hands of the succubus still haunts her mind.

Every time Lilith lifted her flaming eyes and looked at it, she would subconsciously clench her fists, and her heart would beat wildly.

I can't go out now, so I can only make that terrestrial man wait.

To get the two out of here safely, they need a good chance.

This opportunity is associated with mysterious limitations.

Mystic power does not have a fixed value, as the will is not permanently stable.

It will not be strong forever, nor will it be weak forever.

It will maintain a state of constant ups and downs.

Both sides are waiting, Lilith is waiting for the two to emerge from the water, and Jessica is also waiting for her "see-through" to weaken.

And when that time comes, they will leave the sea, away from the sea.

Only then did he show his head and let the terrestrial human breathe air.
