"Is he alright?" asked Ollie worriedly.
Crete shook his head: "I don't know. I can't see the spiritual world when the mage meditates. ā
"The captain must be fine!" said Nora, nodding affirmatively.
Several people paid attention to Luca, who was completely cut off from the outside world, but no one noticed that at some point, the humid moisture had already filled the entire cabin.
It wasn't until the flame in Nora's right hand suddenly became smaller that several people realized that the torch that had been shining with light had been extinguished by the water vapor.
"Not good!" Crete's voice was more serious than usual, "Living flames are affected, it's not ordinary moisture. ā
Nora concentrated, and only kept the flame in her right hand at its original size, and it looked like it would be completely consumed by the water vapor if she slackened slightly.
Ollie clenched the hilt of her sword with both hands.
"Uhhh
The hatch at the entrance of the cave was instantly blocked by dense layers of seaweed, and then, these slender and soft plants actually curled their bodies and twisted and spread over.
Ollie stepped forward, and the seaweed broke where the greatsword passed.
The seaweed has lost its attachment, but it doesn't seem to be affected much, and it still squirms forward.
Nora's living flames flew out, only curling a few seaweeds on the surface slightly, and her own flames were forced to shrink in a circle, and it looked like they were about to be extinguished.
Nora quickly withdrew her hand and recalled the flames.
Shut Mouth, who had reverted back to parrot form, suddenly took off the air, pulled the garnet necklace off Nora's chest with one claw, and quickly retreated, but still scorched two tail feathers by the rising flames.
"At this time, don't think about suppressing ability!" Shut up and yelled.
Ollie and Crete both nodded in agreement, and each took two steps back, away from the scorching heat.
Huge flames swirled and flew out, and all kinds of algae and moss in their path were dehydrated and clung to the walls dryly. Even the barnacles are roasted, giving off a tantalizing seafood aroma.
"Looks like this stuff is really delicious!" Nora, in the flames, laughed and waved her hand to summon the living flames.
Just as he was about to put on the necklace before he set the entire cabin on fire, the water suddenly poured down from Nora's head.
Originally, Nora's full-body flame could effortlessly evaporate dozens of tons of seawater, but this time it was different.
As soon as it came into contact with the turbid water, the flames began to wilt, and in an instant, the huge living flame shrank rapidly, and in a minute at most, it was less than half the size of the original, and the operator of the living flame himself sat down in the middle of the cabin wet, and it was difficult to even dry his soaked long skirt.
"...... Uproar"
"...... Uproar"
It seemed to be the sound of the rising tide of the sea, and with this rhythmic sound, a tall figure appeared at the door of the cabin.
"It's not extinguished!" walked into the ...... No, the creatures that floated in...... No, the dead creature said viciously.
"Ghosts. Crete said.
"I don't need to explain this, I recognize the ghost!" Ollie muttered quietly.
The ghost remained intact in human form, with a translucent body that was much taller than a normal human. He wore a large horned helmet on his head, a crisscrossed golden beard on his face, and carried an equally large golden scepter in his hand.
With each step he took forward, the water poured out behind him, merging into a thin stream along his path. By the time he entered the hatch, the trickles had gathered and grown, and seemed to be as strong as any undercurrent in the Shrike's Abyss.
The sea rushed from under his feet, and even the heavily armored Ollie was almost unsteady on her feet, Crete held on to a crack in the wall with one hand and barely held down the completely unconscious Luka with the other, and Nora was rushed backwards in its entirety, but Ollie grabbed the hem of her skirt in time to keep her head from hitting the wall.
With a wave of the ghost's scepter, the seaweed, which had been completely lifeless a moment ago, was soaked in the seawater and moved again, almost in the blink of an eye, and the entire cabin was crowded, leaving less than two meters of space around Luca's sleeping place.
Four people and one bird are crammed into this small space, and even turning around has become a problem.
Ollie wielded her greatsword with all her might, but the seaweed seemed endless, and as soon as the previous ones were split, new ones were replenished, and the broken fragments quickly regrown.
Crete stared at the seaweed for a few seconds, then suddenly said, "Ollie, wait a minute. ā
Ollie didn't hear at all, still trying her best to fight the wet plants.
Crete grabbed a piece of the crate and threw it over, and Ollie reflexively swung a sword at his back, cleanly splitting the piece of wood in both sides.
"It's good that you didn't push her with your hands......" Shut up and said with a palpitation.
"Ahh
Kerry nodded: "Yes. These seaweeds have roots, and there are three growing spots in this room. ā
"Where?" asked Ollie, Nora, and Shut Mouth.
"The first one, on the wall 2.19 meters directly in front of you, 1.32 meters above the ground. Crete replied precisely.
"Okay, look at me!" Ollie picked up her greatsword and rushed over, the tip of her sword slamming against the wall.
The seaweed didn't relent, but rolled back towards the greatsword.
"It's useless!" said Ollie.
Crete shook his head helplessly: "You stabbed off." The roots of seagrass grow at less than three centimeters in diameter, and they will not stop growing until they are completely destroyed. ā
"Destroy me completely, but how do you find this location?" Ollie said anxiously.
Nora, who had been trembling, suddenly raised her hand, and a faint flame flew out, landing exactly where Crete had said: "Follow my flame, Ollie." ā
The flame was so faint that it could barely ignite anything, but a location marker was enough.
Ollie stepped forward again, stabbing with a sword.
"Shhhh
Obviously it was a plant, but the seaweed let out a hoarse scream, green juice slowly seeping out from around the tip of Ollie's sword, and the leaves sticking out of the front struggled a few times, and then lay silently on the ground.
In the blink of an eye, a third of the aquatic plants in the cabin lost their vitality.
"The next one, the south wall, is 0.79 meters high, and it is 4.26 meters away from the eastern border. Crete continued to command.
Nora works well with Ollie and shatters the growing point once again.
And then the third.
The aquatic plants in the cabin were all lying on the floor, and there was no longer any ability to move.
"I've got some skills. The water weeds lodged down, revealing the ghostly figure again.
He glared at everyone angrily: "You can't fight the sea!"
"Bell!"
Ollie didn't let him say a third sentence, and slammed his sword directly into the scepter in the ghost's hand.
It was the only place on the ghost's body that was physically corporeal.
