Chapter 316 - Kingdom Of The Deads Deep Sea (I) (1/2)

With Lifera rendered immobile after cutting off his limbs, we no longer have the obstruction that will stop us from moving to the portal to enter the Kingdom of the Deep Sea's territory. Despite the firm objections of Lifera for Sera and Li to enter the portal, they were resolute to enter the place and see what is happening.

Entering the place where the portal is up, Sera and Li is looking nervous while staring at the wavering color of the portal.

”What's up? Are you guys perhaps hesitating to do it even though you disobeyed Lifera's wishes?” I asked the two.

”No. Despite his good wishes to us, it was still not something he needed to do to protect us from what we needed to see. It was our decision and whatever he needed to do, he already did it. It's just...” Sera is conflicted on what to do.

”Whatever the case, it is still our duty. If the Merfolk of the kingdom all died and has been turned into undead, there is no other way but to eliminate the cause and put everyone to their eternal rest,” Li continued what Sera seems to be struggling to say.

”Alright, I will activate the portal and remove the spell that Lifera used to stop us from entering the portal.”

Sera pulls out a blue orb from her pocket and throws it to the portal. The moment the blue orb made contact with the portal, the portal seems to become a mirror as it shatters to pieces, revealing a red portal within.

”A red portal...” I didn't know that the blue portal we are seeing since we first arrive there is a facade and is hiding the true portal. Is it for protection or is it just to stop anyone entering, allowing Lifera to reach the place the moment someone touches the portal's surface. Now that it's broken, we can now proceed and enter on it like it was a gate.

”Let's go.”

....

....

Kingdom of the Deep Sea.

Or rather... the former kingdom of the deep sea. Now, it just looks like it came from a fantasy zombie apocalypse. The buildings that are erected underwater no longer hold a good amount of looks it bears before in the past and even though I have not taken a single visit to this place in the past timeline, I can tell the structure of the place just by looking at a single glance.

Is this the whole reason why I never heard of the Kingdom of the Deep Sea in the past even in adventurers? Even the Insect Kingdom that is said to be much smaller than the Kingdom of the Deep Sea is making more sounds compared to the news regarding this place. Maybe this is one of the main reasons.

Sera and Li had a grim look on their faces as they continue to walk around with us while looking at the surroundings. Then, with my passive senses coming from the Necromancer class, in which I also gained the moment I got the Necromancer sub class.

[Dead Senses]

Tier 1

Type: Passive

Info: As a necromancer, your senses towards the dead are much more sensitive than usual. You will not just detect the undead who are currently inactive but you can also sense whether they are dangerous or not. Detects all the undead lifeforms in the 15-meter radius around the player.

Note: With this ability, you can tell which enemies pretend to be dead and alive in the area. Isn't that pretty convenient?

Although it's just a bit of a passive that never got much action due to how rare I encounter enemies that can be labeled as undead, it has proven itself to be really useful, especially in this operation. I am not seeing any enemies in our way but I can easily detect that they are just in the surroundings. Some are inactive and are just there without doing anything while some are just not in our field of view and currently roaming around.

”I don't see any of that undead that Lifera mentioned. Do you think they don't exist anymore?” Sera asked.

”No. They are here, pull out your weapons. If we are unlucky enough, we will have to fight with them and put them out of their misery,” I pull out my Versatile Weapon and changed it into the gun.

Li also readies himself and his magic spells. Compared to Sera, he didn't have any qualms about the enemy and is currently aware of the situation. He didn't have any fear of them and it seems he is also adamant about facing the undead.

”Master! I detect moving lifeforms at three o'clock!” Lina reported.
