Chapter 494 - The Sea of Purification
Chapter 494: The Sea of Purification
Nobody could tell whether Sinehowze had anything to do with dark Gourmet.
Angor simply put this matter behind his mind. Since he didn’t drink her soup, it meant he had nothing to worry about. Besides, he had something more important to mind right now—the time indicated by the mysterious hourglass was near.
What would happen to the purification garden? Would that barrier in the sky open up? If all those seawater flooded down toward the ground, it would be disastrous.
Alan soon noticed that Angor wasn’t paying attention to his words.
When Alan asked, Angor chose to tell him, “I need to leave you guys. As for the exit… I think it’s above us.”
He used Voice Transmission to convey the message to Hermes and Keely as well.
Angor patted Alan’s shoulder and whispered, “Make sure you get out of this place safely.”
Angor noticed that unlike the predatory hunger displayed by the monsters in the garden, the dolphin’s eyes were showing innocence.
A moment later, as Angor tried to be as cautious as possible, the dolphin crept closer and pressed its belly against Angor’s.
Angor was left speechless. He knew now that the dolphin was just a common animal and probably in heat.
He surely did not want to do that kind of bizarre business, so he injected a small trace of nightmare aura inside the creature’s brain.
Next, the dolphin slowly swam away while humping something non-existent.
Angor kept moving and observing the fishes nearby. He saw many different species, and as far as he could tell, none of the fishes were supernatural monsters.
Is the Sea of Purification just… sea? Or is there something else that’s deadly to us?
What he didn’t know was that the monsters outside the barrier had begun to enter the Sea of Purification as well, and these groups of monsters included powerful ones that were as large as whales.
…
His vision dimmed as he moved deeper into the water. When he was about three hundred meters below the surface, the area was completely dark.
He felt unsafe and a little lonely when covered in this absolute darkness. Since he never studied any night-vision spells, he could only cast Light.
The weak cantrip managed to illuminate several meters ahead of him.
The light was wavering and blinking as if it would disappear any time, yet it helped Angor to get rid of his negative emotions.
A group of fish was attracted to the light and began to circle around Angor playfully. Without the killing intent, these little creatures appeared way more adorable.
Accompanied by his light source as well as peaceful swimmers, he moved down once again.
On his way, he saw gigantic whales and unknown predators that fought among each other. They were all ordinary wildlife that showed little interest in a human diver. And even if there were flesh-hunting ones among them, Angor’s simple alchemy weapons were enough to keep them away.
He assumed he already swam for over three kilometers when he finally saw something. There were a series of stone walls of different heights ahead of him, and something was shining around a corner.
He thought it was a glowing fish like an angler, but when he approached it, he noticed he was looking at a building.
It was a round fortress with its roof covered in thick seaweed and colorful shells. There was a round window in the center of the building, which reflected his light.
“There’s a window… and a door. Of course… fish can’t build something like that. Could it be a sunken civilization?” Angor canceled his Light and activated Infinite Reticence before he slowly moved to the fortress.
Before he could get close enough, a strange-looking creature showed up and hurled a harpoon at him, completely unaffected by his Infinite Reticence.
He quickly dodged.
In an instant, the harpoon turned around and came for him again while aiming at his head.
He didn’t have time to worry about why his invisibility was broken. All of his attention was drawn by the creature that showed the same level of power as the monster fishes. And no matter how he turned and evaded, the harpoon could automatically follow his track.
