I'm Really Not the Lord of the Abyss - Chapter 58

“Boom——”

“It’s the leader’s power!”

The sea race guarding the high tower all looked up in the distance.

The intense energy fluctuations coming from afar made them realize the intensity of the battle.

“…Why do I feel like the leader seems to be suppressed?”

“Are you joking!?”

The gatekeeper of the Tower of God, the leader of the sea race on the ground, the protector approved by the gods…how could there be a problem?

……

——He was suppressed.

Agare realized this almost instantly.

Being able to quickly realize the gap between oneself and the opponent was also a manifestation of strength.

Agare, whose strength far surpassed most people, naturally understood his situation clearly.

That person skillfully dodged his attacks with the Red Dragon and Gray Crow. Rather than saying it was a battle, it was more like a leisurely observation——

Observing him, a rare sea race, his fighting style, power, release methods, and various other aspects.

It was…exciting!!

Agare didn’t care about the increasing wounds on his body, even if half of his clothes were soaked in blood, he became more and more fervent.

“Does every race have such a battle maniac?” Lu Mi seemed to see the shadow of the Asura species, Desmond, from the other party.

“Why don’t you use your weapon?” Agare suddenly said, revealing his unwillingness and dissatisfaction in the midst of his rapid battle breath, “Your martial arts are not inferior to me, but you only use long-range attacks, you are clearly better at close combat, right!?”

At least he hoped to see a more serious attitude from the opponent.

Several times when Agare quickly approached the opponent, he could see the pair of silver eyes slightly squinted, as if in the next instant, the silver-eyed youth would take out his weapon from the void——

That moment of lightning and flint was so sharp that it made him feel a hair-raising danger, and as a warrior, he instinctively looked forward to it: what would be a stunning thunderbolt!

But, there wasn’t.

No matter what, the progress bar had stopped abruptly, which could be said to have whetted Agare’s appetite.

Lu Mi paused at the tip of his finger that was emitting a phantom light.

Coincidentally, he had taken his weapon to open a mountain not long ago, and he hadn’t found a new one yet.

The existence that could serve as Lu Mi’s weapon was not something that could easily appear. Even the silver spear from before was refined from a rare mineral that Seo had collected over the years.

Only such a material could withstand Lu Mi’s power, so it was not something that could be easily replaced.

Lu Mi sighed imperceptibly, then looked up, “It’s over.” His fair fingertip pointed at the opponent through the air.

“Wait,” the Gray Crow suddenly said, “I have a better idea.”

The gray-winged youth raised his hand and pointed, “Throw him into the sea, the sea race who abandons the ocean will be punished by the sea.”

Lu Mi couldn’t help but look sideways.

Agare’s eyes widened in an instant, and there was indeed a moment of panic in those deep blue pupils, but it quickly returned to calm. He frowned tightly and said in a deep voice, “I didn’t betray…”

“Bang——!”

Before he could finish his words, Lu Mi’s attack followed and sent the opponent flying.

It was on the edge of this forest, and below the not-so-high cliff was the coastline.

Agare’s figure soared high and fell into the sea, splashing a not-so-high splash.

The rest of the celestial race hesitated for a moment, seeming to know that they were not Lu Mi’s opponents, so they chose to go to the sea to see if they could fish up the protector.

However, as soon as they rushed to the seaside, several water columns several meters high suddenly rose from the sea surface.

The huge movement naturally also attracted the attention of Lu Mi and others.

The Red Dragon moved its nose, not knowing what it smelled, and showed a look of comfort and curiosity.

At this time, Lu Mi suddenly heard a strange “sound”.

It didn’t belong to any known language today, it seemed to be just a long dragon chant.

…calling him.

The silver-eyed youth suddenly raised his eyes.

The next moment, a group of creatures with ear fins and beautiful fish tails suddenly appeared in the sea.

Compared to Agare who had just changed his fish tail to legs, those creatures were obviously more pure sea race, the prototypes of the legendary “mermaids”, “sea monsters”.

“It’s the deep-sea sea race.” The Gray Crow said in realization, “Every once in a while, when the sound of the sea becomes restless, they will float up from the seabed all the way, circling the ocean in a pilgrimage, and the song bestowed by the sea god will calm the predicted disaster.”

“But,” the Gray Crow paused, “the interval of this cycle has been getting shorter and shorter in recent years, gradually changing from once a year to once every half a year, and this time, it seems to be only a month since the last pilgrimage…”

This also shows that the sea is becoming more and more restless, and the undersea volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis are gradually getting out of control.

“Sea God?” Lu Mi was still looking at a certain place in the void.

“Yes.” The Gray Crow continued the words he hadn’t finished before, “The first dragon born from the deep sea of the ancient eastern region, but, He had passed away a thousand years ago, and now it has become a legend…”

“…I see.” Lu Mi suddenly said, “Is this what ‘you’ want to tell me.”

These words seemed not to be said to the Gray Crow.

The strange “sound” in his ears did not stop, and it was clear that only he could hear it. Receiving the message conveyed in that “sound”, Lu Mi suddenly laughed, as if he had suddenly understood something.

Then, Lu Mi slowly stood up straight, and the Red Dragon suddenly clung to the young man’s clothes as if it had sensed something.

The pair of silver eyes glanced at it, then looked at the puzzled Gray Crow, and suddenly said, “Then let’s go together.”

Before the Gray Crow could react, the next second, a small mirror was launched from Lu Mi’s fingertips, serving as a medium, and everyone was instantly moved to the top of the sea tornado.

Whether it was intentional or too lazy to separate, those bewildered sky races were also brought along.

A dozen huge tornadoes surrounded them in an instant, and below were the deep-sea sea races that were moving. Seeing them appear unexpectedly, the songs of those sea races all paused for a moment, and then they all looked over, their eyes were definitely not friendly.

It’s understandable, their good ceremony was disturbed, it would be strange if they were happy.

“Sky race? The sky’s dependents want to interfere with the ocean’s affairs——?” A leading sea race asked such a question.

“Ah, no, we…” A sky race with a confused face flapped its wings, of course, it didn’t fly.

The next instant, a line of people quickly fell towards the sea surface below.

“Ignorant…” A group of sea race spoke in a deep voice, and at the same time let go of their falling range.

And just when the sea race was waiting for everyone to fall into the sea and self-destruct——

The central sea surface surrounded by a dozen tornadoes suddenly opened a huge vortex.

The vortex kept expanding, and in the blink of an eye, it became a straight passage down.

In the faint, it seemed that one could see that at the end of that passage was an ancient underwater palace.

“…!” Everyone was startled all at once.

Especially those sea races, “That is!??”

In fact, they had just sung about the ancient narrative poem of that palace——

[Under the deep-sea vortex, no one can approach, it is the dwelling of the sea god.]

“The bravest sea race after rigorous tests…can reach…”

In the ancient past, there were indeed people who had overcome all difficulties to get there, and from this, a whole narrative poem was derived, the content of which had long been engraved in their hearts.

“I thought that thousands of years ago, with the passing of the sea god, the palace had also disappeared…” The leading sea race murmured so.

And now, this clearly open passage is simply an invitation to a direct bus—if the end is really that hidden relic…why did this road that seems to be cheating come about!?

The variable will definitely not be them, they sing every month, and there has never been such a situation before!

At this time, Lu Mi and others had already fallen into that passage, the sea race leader gritted his teeth, and directly swung his tail to follow.

——Can you not go up at this time, if you don’t go up, it’s simply a waste of being a sea race!

At the same time, the leading sea race had been thinking, “Why would the palace that has been silent for a thousand years respond to that person…” Then, he almost instinctively locked his gaze on the silver-eyed youth, “Who is he?”

Thinking carefully, that person’s figure seems to be very strange throughout the Eastern Area.

And in fact, even if there is a direct bus, this road is not easy to walk at all.

Whether it is the suffocation and high pressure that become stronger as you go deeper into the sea, or the strange sea monsters that suddenly emerge from outside the vortex, and various chaotic illusions…

It’s more like putting all the scattered disasters together, rather than saying that the difficulty has doubled!

Not to mention the sea race that followed, the sky race people on the spot even thought about what words to engrave on the tombstone.

“Actually want to fall into the unseen light of the seabed, we, have we been abandoned by the sky…” This discouraged last words just came out of a sky race’s mouth, and it stopped immediately.

Because they saw the bright golden light suddenly appearing around the silver-eyed youth.

Those lights became more and more, and brighter and brighter, and in the blink of an eye, they drowned the young man’s vague figure.

——In the Eastern Area, where the sky was completely covered by dark clouds, such a dazzling light appeared, which was almost impossible.

But this scene really happened before their eyes!

At that moment, the mysterious dark deep sea around them seemed to suddenly become a profound universe, and that person was an eternally shining sun.

His light guided the direction and also illuminated the mysteries of the universe. Countless stars surrounded him, repelling the dangers around him, and making the hidden monsters flee in the wind.

That golden sun kept falling, heading towards the deeper part of the vortex, but everyone was no longer afraid.

“This power…!?” The leader of the sea race suddenly widened his eyes, and a incredible guess emerged in his heart.

“Indeed, I didn’t see it wrong!” The Gray Crow suddenly spoke, his voice hoarse with excitement.

This was a question that Lu Mi had once raised, which was irrelevant—why did the gray-winged sky race suddenly change its attitude when they first met, and looked flustered, without trying to take away the other’s soul?

Because the Gray Crow had a power that other sky races did not have and did not know: he can see the form of other people’s souls.

So, in a world where most people are stars, some are even less than fireflies, he suddenly saw a sun that he had never seen before.

At that moment—he saw the bright light rushing towards him.

He had to hurriedly turn his head away, not letting the shameful tears fall.

And afterwards, the gray moth was attracted by the golden fire all the way, and it seemed to be a matter of course.

Finally, everyone suddenly felt light all over, and then stepped on the solid ground under their feet.

And at this moment, even those sea races didn’t have time to observe the palace they had been dreaming of, but hurriedly looked at the youth.

“Ah…” It was unknown if it was an exclamation, a shock, or ‘even if I was prepared, I couldn’t help but utter a whisper’.

The silver-eyed youth had already changed his posture, the auxiliary power flowing on his body was shining with golden ornaments, and his touch was warm, as if even the air was dyed with a gentle and sharp breath.

The light wings behind him showed that his power did not belong to any existing race, but was promoted among all beings and surpassed all beings.

——This feeling…

Everyone’s lips moved slightly, as if they had fallen into a dreamlike stupor.

But the silver-eyed youth who was being watched by everyone did not look at them, but said to the empty palace, “I’m here.”

His voice echoed.

This once magnificent palace, separated from the seawater by a layer of dim light shield, was still corroded over the long years.

Now one could vaguely see the cracks densely covered on the walls, or the moss growing in the corners.

Everyone came back to their senses because of his ambiguous words, and were wondering who the youth was talking to, when the next scene appeared and caught them off guard.

Only to see a dragon shadow carved on the beam suddenly started to swim, and then a phantom made entirely of water slowly emerged.

The phantom was incredibly huge, it coiled around the entire palace, with its long body swimming outside, only a huge skull protruded from a broken roof of the palace.

“You’re here——”

That was an ancient and vague voice, as if it had come through history.

It called to the silver-eyed youth, “The newborn god.”

“I heard your call on the cliff.” Without looking at the expressions of the others, Lu Mi directly said, “As you wished, I’m here. Tell me, what do you want to say.”

The remnant of the dragon didn’t waste words, it nodded.

In fact, it was just a remnant of the consciousness of the first dragon that had passed away. If it hadn’t sensed Lu Mi’s newly born divine aura, it would never have awakened. And after waking up, it didn’t have much time.

The huge body suddenly started to swim and circled everyone. In the constantly changing body of water, everyone suddenly saw many scenes.
