However, the true value of this armor is only revealed in water.
But, with the assistance of the Water Spirit Cloth, they can move swiftly in the water like fish, greatly expanding their range of activity while enhancing their resistance to water and pressure.
Loki said.
Tiona: "So, like those man-eating plants we encountered..."
Loki nodded, about to continue: "Yes, that's right. As for the preparation of weapons—"
"This weapon provides a bonus when fighting in the water."
Wei Gong handed the weapon to Tiona and Tione.
Tione also took the trident, revealing a charming smile: "Wei Gong-sama, I will cherish it forever!"
Loki looked at the weapon in Wei Gong's hand. She had also prepared some good harpoons, but now it seemed obvious that she couldn't bring them out.
Lake Rollog was湛 blue and clear, the purity of the lake water no less than that of the southern sea, sparkling in the sunlight like a huge blue gem.
Tiona and Tione quickly moved away from the shore where they entered the water, holding the trident in one hand and swimming towards the depths of the lake.
However, as they approached their destination, the scene before them was completely different. The bottom of the lake was scattered with dilapidated planks and wreckage of boats, and groups of huge black fish swam around them, as if monitoring them.
According to the information provided by Loki, the two sisters continued to move forward, vigilantly observing the surrounding situation.
After fighting several monsters rampaging in the lake and easily driving them away or assassinating them with the trident that could bless [Torrent], they finally saw their target for this trip.
The material of the lid was unknown, either [Holy Stone] or the labyrinth mineral [White Diamond]. The seal, like a gate, was particularly conspicuous because its color was completely different from the surrounding brown bedrock.
They began to carefully examine the surroundings of the cave, looking for any traces of monsters that had passed through, or other hidden secret passages. The two acted separately, checking every corner, without letting go of the bedrock at the bottom of the lake.
The two sisters looked at each other, reaching a tacit understanding.
"There are no scars on the lid."
The seal made from the remains of Leviathan is not only extremely strong in itself, but also a powerful deterrent to monsters.
Even though Leviathan had already died, the aura of its strongest demon beast still existed, enough to make ordinary monsters flinch and dare not approach.
On the shore of the lake, Wei Gong's gaze suddenly froze for a moment, and then he reminded: "Riveria, over there... there seems to be a sinking ship drifting towards us."
A damaged ship was floating on the water, the hull obviously cracked, swaying with the current towards them.
Chapter 260: The Kali Familia.
An Amazonian warrior shouted loudly.
The goddess, like her familia, had brown skin. Her appearance was that of a young and cute little girl, wearing ornaments strung with fake skulls, and a bone mask with long fangs.
"It's no good! After being impacted by the subspecies [Cetus], the keel is about to break completely!"
The female warrior reported.
The goddess pouted: "Tsk, it seems that our Dou Country's shipbuilding technology is not good enough... If it were a ship from [Academy District], it probably wouldn't fall apart so easily."
"Now is not the time to dwell on these things."
"Okay, okay, I got it."
The goddess waved her hand lazily, then turned her head and shouted: "Hey, Algana, Bage, who will carry me."
The huge sailing warship slowly sank on the water, and the old planks made creaking noises.
At this time, many fishing boats had gathered around, observing the sinking mysterious ship from a distance, and planning to lend a helping hand.
The goddess calmly stopped her: "Algana, this is Orario, not Dou Country, don't mess around."
"Let's swim the rest of the way ourselves."
She carried the goddess Kali on her back and jumped off the deck.
Then, led by the goddess Kali, this group of Amazons jumped into the sea without hesitation.
The female warriors ignored the helping hands extended by the fishermen and chose to swim to the port on their own. They were all agile and nimble, like a group of beasts.
"Countryman?"
The goddess Kali also looked over in surprise.
At the same time, the tall female warrior carrying the goddess also raised her head, her eyes meeting Wei Gong Shirou who was standing at the front of the assault boat.
Then, she choked on water.
The female warrior sank down along with the goddess.
The young goddess struggled while shouting like this.
"Huh? Didn't the goddess say to swim back to the port, why did you get on the boat?"
Seeing the goddess and the high-level adventurer being rescued onto the boat, the Amazonian female warriors couldn't help but look at each other in dismay.
"Well, when sailing, we encountered a monster, the ship was attacked, and it was not easy to drift here."
Loki narrowed her eyes, her gaze moving back and forth between the Amazonian female warrior that Wei Gong had just pulled out of the water, and the small goddess.
"Ah, that's me."
"You are?"
The small goddess asked back.
Hearing this sentence, Kali tilted her head and looked at Loki seriously for a while, then thoughtfully said: "I see, you are a celebrity."
Kali looked Loki up and down, her eyes lingering on her chest: "But, how did I hear that Loki is a 'goddess'?"
"Hey, you little brat, do you want to fight the first time we meet?!"
Originally wanting to provoke the other party, but instead being stung by the other party's words, Loki suddenly became flushed and furious.
"You will only make things more complicated this way!"
And on the other side—
The black-haired Amazonian female warrior rescued by Wei Gong bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes filled with anger.
He didn't know how to respond, so he could only smile helplessly.
—Unexpectedly strong.
The Amazonian female warrior in front of him, whether in momentum or strength, was extraordinary.
Even high-level adventurers are far less agile in the water than on land.
Although expensive, this equipment is an indispensable tool for dealing with underwater monsters.
“According to Dionysus, someone saw a monster near Melen that they had never seen before. They said it looked like a disgusting snake, a long, yellowish-green monster.”
“Trace On.”
Before she could finish speaking, Shirou raised his hand, and blue magical light flashed in his hand, and then two tridents appeared.
Tiona took the weapon and smiled brightly: “Thank you, Shirou~!”
Shirou: “No, don’t be too careful… These weapons are temporary projections and will disappear after being dispelled…”
The goddess couldn't help but pout, looking a little dissatisfied.
Immediately afterward, the Amazon sisters jumped into the water without hesitation.
Because of the existence of the magic stone purification device, Orario and Melen's drainage can be kept clean, and the water quality at the bottom of the lake is clear and transparent, with a fairly good field of vision.
The world in the lake is shrouded in a quiet atmosphere that does not exist on land. Beautiful small fish of green, blue, and gray occasionally swim past them, shimmering with tiny brilliance. The bottom of the lake is covered with rocks and stones, on which swaying aquatic plants grow, gently swaying with the waves of the lake.
In addition, they also saw a sunken ship, its bottom torn apart, obviously attacked by a monster in the lake.
They continued to dive underwater, the slope of the lake bottom gradually became steeper, and sunlight gradually became difficult to penetrate to this depth.
At the deepest part of Lake Rollog, a huge “lid” came into their sight.
It lay quietly in front of the large hole on the slope, like the gate of an ancient underwater temple.
Tiona and Tione swam to the front of the lid, looking up at this majestic and mysterious seal. Even underwater, this “lid” still exuded an inviolable aura, making people feel awe from the bottom of their hearts.
However, in the end, they gained nothing and found no traces of any abnormalities. All their efforts seemed to be in vain, and the seal remained intact and as solid as ever.
“Yeah, although I knew it was strong, I have to say, this kind of seal is really impossible for even monsters to break through, and it seems that those monsters don’t dare to get close at all.”
After a careful and meticulous inspection, confirming that the seal was intact, Tiona and Tione finally breathed a sigh of relief. The two looked at each other, nodded lightly, and then began to slowly float upwards, preparing to return to the surface.
Loki and the others all looked in the direction he pointed. Riveria's eyes quickly locked onto the shadow of the ship in the distance, and she couldn't help but frown: “Hmm… That's bad, that ship seems to be starting to fall apart.”
260
“Goddess, the ship can't hold on anymore!”
On the deck, swaying with the sea breeze, the young goddess's blood-red hair fluttered in the wind.
And even with the cute appearance of a young girl, the gaze she revealed from under the mask still exuded the unique alien feeling and divine might of a god.
Such a god, sitting cross-legged on the deck, slowly opened her mouth and said: “Hold on a little longer, we'll be at the port soon.”
“Goddess, after all, that was a desperate blow from an 'Ancient Monster'. Even though it's a subspecies, it's already pretty good that it's held on until now.”
Another warrior said helplessly.
That female warrior continued to urge: “Goddess, we have to jump ship and escape.”
At this time, another Amazon warrior suddenly shouted vigilantly: “Goddess Kali, someone is coming!”
The design of the sailboat is unique: twin-sword-shaped anchors, a female warrior statue set on the bow, and huge axe-gun-shaped oars extending from the ship's belly, all of which make this ship particularly eye-catching.
One of the white-haired Amazon warriors, tall and voluptuous, glanced at the fishing boats gradually approaching, a hint of madness flashing in her eyes: “Good, next we'll rob their ships—”
Another tall Amazon warrior said in a cold tone: “Be rescued by weak men? I don’t think anyone here is willing to accept such humiliation.”
Even the fishermen standing in the distance couldn't help but be startled by this scene, feeling a little uneasy and confused.
However, just as they were about to approach the port—
“A god?”
Suddenly, an unexpected voice rang out.
On the surface of the water, a speedboat approached, and Loki was sitting on the boat, her eyes meeting Kali's, who was being carried by the female warrior.
The Amazon's body trembled involuntarily.
“Glug, glug, glug…”
“Are you an idiot?!”
Seeing this, Shirou quickly jumped into the sea from the wooden boat and swam towards them quickly, pulling the two out of the water.
“Then what do we do?”
“What's with this mess, compatriot?”
After the wooden boat docked, Goddess Loki asked gloatingly.
Kali shrugged helplessly.
Although they both came from the Celestial Realm, Loki and Kali had never met before. They could sense that the other was a god, but they didn't know each other's specific identities.
“Kali?”
She asked tentatively.
Kali smiled slightly and nodded.
Loki raised her chin triumphantly: “I am Loki, the current main god of Tione and Tiona, little runt.”
As a top-level faction in the city, Loki Familia's main god, Loki, is a very famous figure worldwide.
“Hmm, this is the first time I've met you, but… you're really flat. I or Tiona are more endowed… Ah, I wonder if Tiona has grown up in these years.”
Seeing their main god suddenly erupt like a volcano, Angie and the others hurried forward to stop her, repeatedly persuading: “Please calm down!”
“Guh… To be saved by a weak male like you is a disgrace, just you wait!”
Shirou: “Ah, um…”
However, he stared at the Amazon in front of him.
This was the intuition he had cultivated over a long period of immersion in battle, or rather, his [Mind's Eye] told him.
The aura on her body indicated that her strength was at least comparable to a first-class adventurer.
