Chapter 59 - Getting the water crystal part 3 (1/2)
With the raging sea didn't even shown any signs of stopping its violence, I decided to just straight dive into it, but not without any sort of protection first
(Hmm... there are several issues that I have to deal with. Air is without a doubt an essential component, then there's a problem of the raging current, which without careful planning, can swept me away to the bottom of the ocean floor in an instant. There's also the fact that the sea is swarming with monsters of various ranks and sizes, and how to fight them effectively. Lastly I have to keep on tracking the wavelength of the water crystal stone) [Ash]
Well, the first problem shouldn't be much of a problem as long as I can maintain adaptability magic, a spell under the neutral mana that can allow one to survive in any hostile environment so long as you maintain the magic. Of course, the more hazardous the environment is, the larger the amount of mana needed to maintain it.
(I said it's no problems but if my mana supply exhausted from prolonged usage or fighting, I'm in deep trouble) [Ash]
Yeah, should be extra careful. The second problem may be solved by using extra amount of mana into the adaptability magic, and if not I can just use water magic to steer my way through the raging current.
The third problem is obvious, I just have to avoid any unnecessary fight, that mean not killing a rare monster just because it dropped a lucrative loot. Never
(Alright, maybe one or two treasure turtles, but not more than that) [Ash]
Yeah, treasure turtles are highly sought, just like it's name suggested, it will drop it shell (which usually made up of highly valuable material like gold, diamond or even legendary metal)
As for the keep on using my search and scan magic to detect the wavelength of water crystal stone, I think that's manageable. It can also serve to function as trap detector, so I should keep it activated all the time
Now then, to cover my whole body with adaptability magic. Slowly convert the neutral mana into the spell and
”That's a nice glow” [Rean]
”Yeah, the silver aura emitted means that the magic is successfully used. The more refined the colour is, the better” [Ash]
”That mean that if I can use this magic, I can swim right?” [Charlotte]
”CHARLOTTE!” [Ash]
”Yes, I won't...” [Charlotte]
Instead of sulking, now she's sad. Can't be helped, it's for her own safety. Still, I do feel bad
”Fine, I will try to make a pool in the mansion, that way you can swim whenever you like” [Ash]
”Really!?” [Kids]
”Ohh, that caught not only Charlotte, but all of you as well. Yes, I will. I will fetch an extra crystal and used it for the pools, it's a promise. So promise me not to dive into the sea” [Ash]
”I promise” [Charlotte]
”Good” [Ash]
I don't know whether my actions just now is a good one or a bad one from a parent standpoint of view. Maybe I should ask Claude, Ram, Gizzere, the clothing shop aunty as well as Alice's parents for advice. Oh, let's not forget Borg and Lin as well
”Well, I'm off” [Ash]
”Careful” [Kids]
”Yes” [Ash]
And off we go, and after 100 meter dive
~Booom~
(Shit!) [Ash]
Without any warning, there's a cannon ball being shot toward my direction. It doesn't pose much problem to me since only one of it is being fired and I can easily avoid it, but
(There should be more of it...) [Ash]
And I am correct. Why! Can't I be wrong on this one thing. What more
