The water elemental plane.

A world completely filled with seawater.

The sea surface coincides with the sky, and the bottom is not visible.

The depths of the ocean are not pitch black.

Magical seaweeds, phosphorus-containing plankton, emit a subtle glow and a hint of warmth.

In the deep sea, a huge creature that looks like a dragon but not a dragon, like a whale and not a whale, flicks its tail and swims leisurely.

It was none other than the legendary poison dragon Nidhogg.

Eren maintained his gluttonous form, riding on the back of the old poisonous dragon.

Thick and long hair fluttered in the water, like purple seaweed.

"Sect Master! Many years ago, I came to this sea area to explore the entrance to the ancestral court, and I also left a secret imprint nearby. ”

Nidhogg sends out a telepathic movement and makes a spiritual exchange with Alan.

"If that huge reef hadn't been swept away by the currents, we'd be close to our destination."

"For your size, you have to call it 'huge', and that reef is not a mountain deposited at the bottom of the sea."

"Uh...... Sect Master, you still don't know enough about the environment of the Water Elemental Realm, the ocean here is bottomless, so there is no undersea continental shelf that can carry mountains. ”

The old poisonous dragon couldn't help but smile and corrected Allen's cognitive mistakes.

Alan admits that he lacks knowledge in this area, and asks the old poison dragon for advice with confusion:

"Since the ocean in the Water Elemental Realm is bottomless, isn't that big reef you are talking about forever sinking?"

"If that reef keeps moving downward, even if you mark it, it won't be able to locate it."

In Allen's mind, the picture of "carving a boat for a sword" came to mind.

"So, Sect Master, you don't know enough about the environment here."

Niederhogg replied slowly.

"The water elemental realm, which is different from the ocean in the material realm, has its own set of special laws."

Alan nodded in agreement.

On the material plane, such as the Warlock World, the magic of various attributes is in a state of equilibrium.

In the water elemental realm, water magic occupies an overwhelming advantage.

Cast water magic here, and it will automatically gain power-ups.

Conversely, if you cast fire magic, you will be weakened.

Are there any other special laws?

"The sea water in the material realm is deep and shallow, and the density does not change much."

"The water elemental realm is different, the deeper the water level, the denser the sea."

"This means that the buoyancy in the depths of the ocean is much greater than in the shallow waters."

"Creatures that live in the deep sea, in order to resist the pressure of the water, flesh and blood are even stronger than steel."

"The huge reef I just talked about, sinking somewhere in deep water, its density is equal to that of the surrounding seawater, it will not continue to sink, it will remain suspended, like a stone embedded in the asphalt."

"In such a high-density deep-sea area, only a very high-impact current is likely to push the reef away from its original position."

"But that happens very rarely, at least not before I see it."

After listening to Niederhogg's explanation, Alan was deeply touched.

It seems that it is still necessary to go out and walk more in order to increase knowledge and learn new knowledge.

As the depth of the dive increased, Alan experienced a gradually increasing stickiness, like swimming in sticky glue.

It is the density of the sea that increases dramatically with the depth of the dive, which is a hindrance to divers.

Nidhogg has long been accustomed to this level of water pressure, and for the sake of Alan, he specially cast "group movement freedom".

With the blessing of the spell, Alan suddenly felt relaxed.

At this moment, there was a sudden undercurrent ahead.

Nidhogg's face froze, a little embarrassed.

He just said that the water body in the high-density deep-sea area has been stable for a long time, and there is an undercurrent, as if he deliberately slapped his old face!

Alan frowned, and a gluttonous black ball appeared above his head, opening up the unbounded realm.

Along with the flow of water, there is also a faint smell of blood.

All the signs show that the sea is not as peaceful as it seems.

Nidhogg also opens up the field and mounts the "Invisible Orb".

The figures of him and Allen immediately disappeared into thin air.

The "Invisible Orb" that exceeds the limit to the legendary level will not be detected unless it encounters the anti-stealth skill of the legendary level.

Where the undercurrent came from, there was the sound of fighting.

On the defensive side, there is a sea giant with a human body and a fishtail.

Occupy a huge mountain-like reef and hollow out the reef to transform it into a strong fortress.

A shield of glowing blue light envelops the entire reef fortress against spell bombardment from the outside world.

Obviously, it was a maze enchantment set up by the defenders.

The attacking side, consisting of tens of thousands of water elementals.

This army of water elementals is divided into tiers according to their size.

The strongest elemental creature that Eren had seen in the Warlock World was the "Elder" level, which was equivalent to a fifth-order water warlock, and was twenty meters tall.

And in this Water Elemental Legion, the elders are just pawns, and the officers are all Water Elemental nobles!

Sixth-Order Baron, Seventh-Order Viscount, Eighth Order Earl, Ninth-Order Marquis......

Further up, there are the legendary-level water elemental dukes and grand dukes.

The commander of this legion is a water elemental Grand Duke.

Huge in size, comparable to Nidhogg.

The translucent body wrapped in a magic film resembles a mermaid below the waist and curves above the waist, reflecting feminine characteristics.

"Oh! That's Vanessa! ”

The mental fluctuations sent by the old poisonous dragon carried a hint of uneasiness.

"Sect Master! We're in big trouble! ”

"It's a visible nuisance." Alan shrugged his shoulders and asked the old poisonous dragon, "Who is Vanessa?" ”

"The commander of the Seventh Legion of the 'Infinity Boat', the most important female archduke under the command of the Water Elemental Emperor!"

Infinity Ship ......?

Alan's heart moved.

Isn't that the branch of the Holy Demon Ancestral Court in the Water Elemental Realm?

Similar to the status of the "Emerald Court" in the Fairy Wilderness, and the status of the "City of Memory" in the Netherworld.

The ruler of the "Infinite Boat", the Emperor of the Water Element, is actually the "Lord of Water" Yuantianhe.

Among the seven sect masters currently in power in the Holy Demon Ancestral Court, the one who controls the "Origin of Water".

"If you say that, Archduke Vanessa is her own man, what is there to be afraid of?"

"Alas! Sect Master, you don't know! ”

"Vanessa may treat you as her own family, but she will never be polite to me!"

The old poisonous dragon sighed.

"That chick with a bad belly has fought with me!"

"You were beaten by her and hold a grudge?" Alan asked with a smile.

"If I lose, it's easier! The bad is that I'm the winner, do you think Vanessa can not hold a grudge? ”

Alan was speechless.

With his knowledge of women, Archduke Vinnessa did have reason to be angry with the old poisonous dragon.

"The grudge between you and Archduke Vinnessa, put aside for the time being, the group of ocean giants on the other side occupies the reef you marked at the beginning?"

"yes, those stupid fish aren't good either!"

Nidhogg said hatefully.

"Sect Master, have you noticed that the stupid fish has a black trident-shaped tattoo on its chest?"

"I saw it, it was the emblem of the ancient sea god." Allen's face sank, "The sea giants tattooed the emblem of the evil god on themselves, which shows that they are all believers in the Deep Sea Cult. ”

Allen's trip, in addition to visiting the Leviathan Ancestral Court, also has a purpose, which is to investigate the "Deep Sea Church", which is one of the top ten cults on the blacklist of the Stargazing Tower.

This church, which worships the ancient god of the sea, constantly conveys faith and wishes to its idols, strengthens the power of the god of the sea, and contributes to the "wall of heresy".

Most of the inhabitants of the water elemental realm are followers of the "Lord of Water" Yuantianhe, and worship him as the "god of the sea".

In one temple, there is no room for two Bodhisattvas.

The expansion of the "Deep Sea Church" in the water element world is to blatantly dig into the corner of the "Lord of Water", of course, it cannot be tolerated!

The "Lord of Water" sent his right-hand man, Grand Duke Vanessa, to lead the Seventh Corps to encircle and suppress the cult stronghold.

The battle has been going on for three days, and the casualties on both sides are heavy.

Alan and Nidhogg, who happened to pass by, bumped into a fierce battle between the two sides.

What's even more coincidental is that the reef occupied by the Deep Sea Cult is the marker that the old poisonous dragon used to locate the entrance to the Leviathan Ancestral Court!

"Sect Master, I have a foreboding......

The old poisonous dragon bared his teeth and looked sad.

"The reef was hollowed out by stupid fish and turned into a fortress, which shows that they have occupied this sea area for a long time."

"Why do you want to establish a stronghold here for no reason?"

"I'm afraid there's only one reason...... The teleportation array leading to the ancestral court, the seal has been broken by the stupid fish. ”

"The reef fortress built here is actually a bridgehead for gathering troops and attacking the ancestral court on a large scale!"

Alan touched the storage bag and pulled out a pearl.

"Tears of Manasa", a sacred relic of the Naga clan in Saddle Lake.

The "Mother of Serpents" Monassa is the name of the ancestor Leviathan as the god of the race.

This orb is the key to open the seal of the undersea teleportation array and enter the Leviathan Ancestral Court.

The same key, more than one.

The descendants of the ancestor Leviathan, divided into many branches.

The oldest of them, including the Naga, the Poison Dragon, the Sea Dragon, the Demon Whale, the Kraken, the Snake Man, the Merman, the Whale Man, and so on, each held a Tear of Monasa as a proof of entry and exit from the Ancestral Court.

The ancestor Leviathan has long since left this world, and most of the ethnic groups in the ancestral court have also moved to other places.

The tears of Monasan have been passed down from generation to generation, and many have been lost or even damaged, and less than one in ten has survived to this day.

For example, the orb of the poisonous dragon clan has long been lost to the unknown.

The one in Allen's hand was obtained from the Naga tribe and was well preserved.

A giant of the depths, not a descendant of the progenitor Leviathan.

It is said to be a hybrid offspring of a giant and a merman, and it also has thin Leviathan blood flowing in its body, so it is not surprising that he may have gotten a "Tear of Monasa" from a distant relative.

Alan pondered.

The Water Elemental Legion is his colleague.

A giant of the deep sea, closer to the Leviathan lineage.

What is your position to intervene in this war?

"Nidhogg, do you have a relationship with the Deep Sea Church?"

"Ahem...... Instead of friendship, there is hatred! ”

The old poisonous dragon replied in a low voice.

"Arthur, the legendary archbishop of the Church of the Deep Sea, tried to preach in the Styx Valley, but I ran him away."

"Because of this, old Arthur held a grudge and tried to cast a spell to curse me, but fortunately I was stubborn and resisted the curse."

Alan tugged at the corners of his mouth.

The heart said that the old poisonous dragon's popularity is really poor, and he has made enemies everywhere, and it is not easy to survive to this day!

"Sect Master! With legends on both sides of the war and a whole bunch of minions around you, you'd better leave it alone and take advantage of the chaos to bypass the battlefield and head straight to the Ancestral Court. ”

Eren shook his head, rejecting the old poisonous dragon's suggestion.

Nidhogg sighed and asked helplessly, "Since you have to intervene, who are you going to help?" ”

"On the side of the Grand Duke of Vinenisa, of course!"

"Because she's also a Guardian of the Galaxy?"

"That's just one reason, and there are two more."

Alan smiled and raised two fingers.

"Second, I can earn merit by helping her."

"Third, she looks very smart."

"Giving priority to a beautiful lady is gentlemanly manners!"

The old poisonous dragon snorted twice, feeling that the so-called "gentlemanly demeanor" of the sect master was more like the nature of the color embryo.

……

Reef Fortress.

A gray-haired giant of the deep sea, armed with a trident.

Look through the turbulent waters and observe the enemy forces on the opposite side.

Around him, a group of wounded soldiers of the Deep Sea Giants had just withdrawn, and the sea water was mixed with a thick bloody aura.

The priests of the deep sea are extracting the magic of the Lost Locks and transforming them into healing magic.

The Lost Barrier is a variant of the Legendary Extrafinite Realm, which is applied to an area to protect the local buildings and inhabitants.

The Locking Center, like the origin of the realm, is set in the most heavily protected place of the reef fortress.

The Lost Lock Enchantment established by Arthur is able to absorb the free water magic in the surrounding waters on its own and maintain its basic functions.

However, in the heat of battle, the barrier is constantly under impact, and the shield consumes a lot of energy.

From time to time, the cultists guarding the fortress will also draw the magic power of the Lost Lock, which can be used to cast spells to bombard enemies or heal the wounded.

By absorbing the magic of the outside world, it is impossible to maintain the Lost Lock Enchantment.

Arthur had anticipated this situation.

In the secret room where the center of the misty lock is located, a large amount of water-based magic shells are stored in advance as a backup energy source for the misty lock.

It was a gift from the ancient god of the sea to Arthur for his outstanding service to the missionary cause.

The battle has continued until now, and most of the magic shells in reserve have been consumed.

Arthur's mood couldn't help but be a little anxious.

Just now, he cast a spell to communicate with Seth, the high priest of the "Winter Church".

Urge Seth to take the Ice Palace Holy Land as soon as possible, and lead the Frost People to teleport back to help him deal with Vanessa's army.

Seth, the old guy, promised very happily, asked Arthur to hold on a little longer, claiming that he would support as soon as possible.

Arthur didn't know if he should believe his promise.

The "Winter God" worshipped by Seth, also known as the "Winter Queen", and the sea god worshiped by Arthur, are the same ancient gods who were defeated by the ancestors in the ancient wars and sealed in the depths of the bloodline galaxy.

These two ancient gods, along with the ancient gods of fire, wind, light, moon, and earth, together created the "Holy Spirit Society", and are actively expanding their power, developing believers, and seeking to restore their divine status.

The churches formed by the followers of each of the seven ancient gods are supposed to be allies and should cooperate sincerely.

However, after all, the church is made up of people, and where there are people, there are grievances and conflicts of interest.

Not to mention the fact that different churches also adhere to conflicting doctrines, and privately accuse each other of heresy.

Arthur and Seth, the high priest of the "Winter Church", have no personal relationship.

In order to fight for territory, Arthur's deep sea giant clan has had countless conflicts with the frost people.

The two sides regard each other as a feud, and there are countless blood debts.

Although Arthur and Seth shook hands and made peace under the mediation of the "Holy Spirit Society", they were still unable to fully trust each other in private.

Especially in the moment of emergency, Arthur asked himself, if he was in Seth's position, would he really rush to rescue his former rival as soon as possible?

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Outside the fortress, a series of explosions were heard.

Immediately afterward, the exclamations and screams of the defenders were heard.

Arthur retracted his thoughts, frowned, and walked briskly.

On the periphery of the reef fortress, the remains of many deep-sea giants float.

Broken stones, swirling in the blood-stained waters.

The reef fort was blown down a corner.

The nearby defenders were either killed or wounded.

Arthur gritted his teeth, anger in his eyes!

Of course he knew, it was Vanessa's good thing!

The transcendent realm of the Grand Duke of the Water Elemental has a very strange origin.

It can transform water within the radiation range of the domain into ice crystal form or steam form at will.

Just now, Vanessa cast a legendary spell and forcibly blasted the Mystery Lock shield through a hole.

Through this gap, the "phase change field" is extended.

The water in the crevices of the remote control reef instantly turns into a gaseous state.

In the deep sea, water as dense as rocks turns gaseous, expands more than 5,000 times, causing a big explosion!

Arthur cursed under his breath and hurriedly repaired the Lost Lock Enchantment and plugged the loopholes.

Then, mount the "group repair technique" on your own overrun field to restore the collapsed reef to its original state.

That's all, Arthur is not at ease.

Raise your trident in both hands and ask the god of the sea for grace.

His prayers were quickly answered.

A circle of golden light spread out from the trident.

The reef fortress illuminated by the divine light has become stronger, and the hardness is comparable to that of pure gold!

Soon after, Vanessa tried to blast the reef fortress again.

This time, however, the damage caused by the explosion was minimal.

Arthur sneered, and his heart was much more steady.

At this time, a strange wave spread, making him feel very uncomfortable.

"Is it a delusion?"

Arthur muttered to himself.

Looking around, I didn't notice anything unusual, so I didn't think much about it.

After a while, however, things began to look wrong.

The reef fortress reinforced by divine power, with large honeycomb holes on its surface, seems to be being eroded by some mysterious force.

The giants of the deep sea guarding the reef fortress were all pale and gasping for breath, as if they had been drained of their strength.

The wounded giant of the deep sea, the wound can't stop spurting blood!

The blood and water converged into a trickle, not blending with the sea, like countless small red snakes, meandering into the distance.

"What's going on?!"

Arthur's eyes widened, his face full of bewilderment.

He had lived for three hundred years and had never seen anything like this!

Boom!!

Suddenly there was an explosion behind him.

The surging steam rushed over and tossed him over.

The reef fortress, which was eroded by a mysterious force and became brittle from the inside out, was remotely blasted by the Grand Duke of the Water Elemental and was blown apart on the spot!

The Lost Locks barrier built on the reef disintegrates.

Arthur and his people, deprived of their fortress and the shelter of the Locks, are like naked babies, surrounded by an army of water elementals.
