Chapter 294 - Under The Deep Blue Sea (I) (1/2)
As much as I want the quest to end as soon as possible, I don't want to risk too much when it comes to facing Lemis. She is very powerful on her own due to her ability to seal skills and to cause corrosion. She can even manipulate minds and can temporarily control you if your will is not strong enough or your cleric is incompetent in clearing debuffs.
Since Remis is killed, I doubt Lemis will just sit there and do nothing. She is a high-ranking demon and if she can disrupt the Insect Kingdom easily, she can do that again. Aside from that, there is also the matter of the Weapon of Pride. If my assumption is correct, she is going to control the king and use the power of the Weapon of Pride to deal with us.
To make sure the chances of winning are 100%, I needed to reach out to the Kingdom of the Sea and find a way to ask for help without offending them. Also, this is a chance to repair the broken artifact I got from Serbal. That way, I can dive underwater without using any kind of item that will allow me to breathe underwater in a limited time.
”Master. I know you said that you have a way to ask for permission to get the recognition of the Kingdom of the Sea, but may I ask what it is?” Lina got curious and she didn't hold back her question.
”Yeah, I am curious too!” Lucia seconded.
Tina didn't respond but based on her reaction, she is also curious about my method.
”Well, this is kinda complicated. Basically, we will have to dive under the water to do this.”
”Huh? Dive under the water?!” the three were shocked hearing the first method.
”Hey, I know diving under the water of Aquagius is pretty dangerous but that is our only choice of this matter and besides, we won't dive underwater without a special plant that will allow us to breathe underwater and act underwater like we are just on land.”
”You mean, we need to fetch the Lung Moss?” Lucia scratches her chin.
”Yeah. The Lung Moss. Do you perhaps know about it?”
”Not really. I just heard it from my father before. I didn't see it personally but I know that it exists.”
”Yes. It does exist and it is native to the Aquagius Continent. I read a book in one of the dungeons I raided before and saw one of the locations of this item. We can use this info to get it.”
With a pat on Leona's back, we soar above the sky to search for the Lung Moss.

Around 30 minutes of flight, Leona arrived on a lone island in the vast sea. We are far from the Insect Kingdom and everywhere you look, you will only see the deep blue sea around. No other land is present other than the land that we just arrived at. Not only that, the island that we landed on is not even a full island since this was just the entrance of a long cave that extends deep down the underground.
”Master, this is pretty far from land. We can't even ask for help from other people and we can't even find help from ships since I doubt any ship will pass by here!” Lina is concerned about our safety especially in the new area we are in just the vast sea. Anyone who is not familiar with the sea would overthink of dangers around.
”Don't worry about it, Lina. Just think of this area as a dungeon and our task is just to clear it. Nothing much of a problem and don't think too much on it.”
”Heh, yeah. Don't think too much about it, Lina-chan. When we see enemies, let's beat the crap out of them. No need to get worried about it!” Lucia on the other hand is quite enthusiastic.
Before we explore and dive deeper, Tina stopped me from going.
”Hey, I have something to ask.”
”Huh? You needed something?”
”When you were confronting my impostor siblings, how did you know they are no longer my siblings?”
