Volume 1 Chapter 562

Chapter 562: Above the Sea, There Are No Boundaries!

Lolth had no hostility towards Ms. Turtle Naivee.

Lolth’s initial favorability rating towards a creature in this mode mainly depended on her previous impression of that individual.

If it was someone she didn’t know, she felt nothing.

If it was someone she liked, she would protect them.

If it was someone she disliked, she would give them "punishment."

For Naivee, Lolth at least felt some initial fondness—despite the change in appearance, the aura of the other person could not be hidden from Lolth.

She could easily recognize that Naivee was the silly turtle spirit who always followed her disciple around and never thought before speaking—of course, the current Lolth did not know this.

Lolth just instinctively felt that this creature had some connection to her.

So, she had not planned to fight this turtle.

But…

This connection was not very important.

The current Lolth could clearly sense the…

Provocation.

If it had been the usual Lolth, she would naturally ignore the provocation.

But…

The current Lolth could not ignore the provocation.

She narrowed her eyes and looked down at the broken ship on the ground.

On the half-sunken black ship, a wild spirit seemed to emerge.

It seemed to be telling Lolth…

"No matter if you are a god or something else…"

"Come and fight me?"

"Let’s have a duel!"

The continuous breath coming from the ship locked onto Lolth.

Lolth was also very displeased by this extremely annoying provocation.

She thought for a moment and then waved her right hand.

"Then, as you wish."

As she said this, the sky filled with pink flames, and suddenly half of them fell toward the black ship.

The flames trailed in the air, creating a beautiful light.

Like colorful falling petals, it was truly beautiful.

Tina and Isabella watched as Lolth waved her hand, and the pink flames fell down, seeing the girl surrounded by the light looking incredibly graceful.

They couldn’t help but be enchanted.

"Lolthlinda looks… really has her own charm…"

Isabella murmured, her face turning red.

Next to her, Tina had her mouth wide open, her cheeks red as she drooled.

"Hehe, Master Lolth, my Master Lolth…"

I have to say, even though they both thought Lolth was cute and charming no matter what…

After getting used to the flat-chested, downcast Lolth, this proud, curvy Lolth was also nice.

Besides, the two girls weren’t annoyed with the original Lolth at all.

It was just like when a girlfriend suddenly showed you a costume of your favorite character during the honeymoon phase—surprising and hard not to have your brain freeze.

But…

This was possible because the flames hadn’t landed on them, so the two girls had the time to wipe their drool.

As the one involved, turtle Naivee, faced this beautiful falling flame…

More felt…

was danger.

She had no time to appreciate Lolth’s unique charm.

"Oh no, now it’s going to turn into a baked turtle…"

Naivee murmured, looking back at the cabin.

Clever Kululu had already disappeared, and no one knew where she had gone.

Naivee sighed and walked alone to the deck.

Then, she suddenly realized something and started to laugh.

"Oh no, that’s not right… now it’s in human form!"

"It’s not a roasted turtle, it’s a roasted person!"

As she said this, while no one could hear her nonsense, flames fell upon the illusory black ship.

Then, it caught fire.

The scorching heat came from the deck.

It was as if real flames were burning real wood.

And Naivee watched as the burning flames spread towards her, yet she was not afraid.

She gently pulled out a…

Odd-looking whistle.

It looked as if it was made from the bones of some animal, about the size of a hand.

A brown-black rope was tied to the end, hanging around Naivee’s neck.

She put the bone whistle in her mouth and blew gently.

The seemingly small bone whistle did not make a sharp sound.

Instead, it produced a grand, heavy, muffled sound.

Like a horn.

"Woo—"

In the midst of the crackling sound of the fire, it was like the sea breeze weeping.

Like a quiet whistle coming from afar on a stormy afternoon when dark clouds sank towards the horizon.

Like the roar of a monster surfacing from the deep sea.

And then…

In Hillenbrand Town… the wind really began to blow.

It was not the usual gentle early winter breeze, nor was it a magical wind filled with the powers of the wind element…

Instead, it was a wet, slightly salty wind, howling with the flavor of the ocean!

It was damp, cool, and mysterious, as if it came from another world.

Although Hillenbrand Town was deep inland, with the only nearby water source being a river that did not flow directly to the sea…

Everyone could still feel that this wind came from the ocean.

In that moment, the pink flames, which seemed unstoppable and would burn forever, were shaken by this wind.

The flames on the boat swayed wildly in the sea breeze, flickering uncertainly, almost about to be extinguished!

The sea breeze took away the warmth of the flame.

Even under the caress of the sea breeze, the pink flames created by Lolth showed their first signs of "movement."

That was the movement of extraordinary power.

It was almost as strong as divine power, yet it was no different from magical power.

This was the first time this flame could be sensed by the extraordinary, feeling its waves of power.

The reason was the sea breeze.

Even the flames beside Lolth seemed to be affected.

Like a candle flame dancing in the evening breeze, they flickered uncertainly.

Lolth squinted her eyes, feeling the sea breeze blowing on her face.

"The master of the Seven Seas…"

She looked at Naivee and slowly spoke a title.

Her voice was very soft, but it reached Naivee’s ears.

She smiled at Lolth, clearly having heard Lolth’s whisper in the wind.

"That’s me!"

She said proudly and then blew the bone flute again.

"Woo—"

This time, the deep sound was even more melodious, blending with the sound of the wind, as if something was breaking.

Like thunder rolling among the tumultuous clouds, along with the choir of birds swirling above countless sea surfaces.

Above Hillenbrand Town, dark and heavy gray clouds appeared in the sky.

They hung heavily, as if filled with seawater—like an extension of the ocean.

Soon, the sea breeze grew more swift and fierce.

In the sky, Lolth’s red dress rustled loudly.

Then…

"Plop."

A heavy drop of rain plummeted to the ground of Hillenbrand Town.

Tina gently cast her spell, and plants grew high enough to cover several girls.

And at that very moment, as the green plants sprouted…

"Splash…"

In the dark clouds, thick drops of water fell down!

The sea wind became even more fierce.

The wild wind carried the heavy and dense rain, covering all of Hillenbrand Town.

From the sky, the rain fell like a waterfall!

The flames on the black ship almost extinguished completely in an instant.

The remaining small flames also wobbled precariously.

Even the flames surrounding Lolth dimmed.

And standing in the sky was Lolth…

It was like being in a lonely boat on the sea.

But…

Not a single drop of rain fell on her.

Lolth looked at Naivee and reached out her hand.

Behind her…

The staff that symbolized "eternity" began to tremble.

No, it wasn’t just trembling.

It even started to grow.

Just like the Rod of Eden changed in Lolth’s hand, as if revealing its true form.

The Eternal Scepter, which looked smooth and simple in the hands of the Demon King and Tina…

Suddenly seemed to come alive, with leaves sprouting and turning a soft, shiny gold at its tip!

Then, the scepter flew towards Lolth’s direction.

Meanwhile, Naivee on the deck’s expression changed slightly.

"Indeed, this job was not so easy…"

She realized that going against Lolth was a very foolish thing to do.

Especially with Lolth being like this now.

Fighting her was like a small insect trying to stop a giant.

But…

By a stroke of luck, Naivee wasted almost her entire magnificent and long life on foolish deeds, thinking she could fight against the forces of nature!

She sailed alone in a small boat just to see what lay deep in the sea!

She jumped into the deep ocean searching for treasures, battled sea monsters on rocky reefs, escaped whirlpools, and sang loudly in stormy seas…

She could give up a Divine Artifact for a glass of strong drink to return to the harbor, or she could go to the ends of the world for a foolish bet and fall out of this reality!

She was chosen by the Seven Seas Will, and she also carried the curse of the sea…

The greatest captain of all time! The only sailor of the Second Era!

Naivee Bernice!

She met Lolth’s golden eyes, her gaze piercing through the storm like a sharp sword.

Even Naivee’s soul felt a sting.

But she still smiled.

"I see now— you carry a curse too!"

She placed the bone whistle to her lips and blew it for the third and final time.

"Woo—"

This sound was like the mythical sea monster’s wail, like the ocean roaring in rage.

"Splash!"

The sound of the waves!

"Bang!"

The crashing sound of the waves!

The sound of waves crashing one after another filled the air.

The rainwater gathered on the ground rose up, and the shimmering waves around the black ship became solid.

At the first moment she saw these things, Kululu, who was on her way to the tavern, showed a worried expression.

"This must be revenge!"

With Kululu’s unhappy voice, Hillenbrand Town and everything that suddenly appeared became "separated."

It was as if another world was layered over Hillenbrand Town.

Just after Kululu did this…

Waves, tides, whirlpools, undercurrents, and surges…

The limbs of sea monsters, huge rocks, and floating icebergs!

Mysterious and dangerous, the place that creates the greatest storms in the world—the ocean!

Had arrived here!

This was a moment more amazing and shocking than the gods…

A grand "arrival"!

"Come on, Lolthlinda!"

Naivee broke the rope of the bone whistle and opened her arms.

The "Black Tide Ship" rose from the water; though broken and only half there, it still floated!

Naivee let go, and the bone whistle was carried away by the fierce wind into the sea before the dark ship.

"Snap."

Beneath the deep sea surface, there seemed to be an endless abyss, and the bone whistle sank into it, disappearing without a trace.

Then, in the next moment…

The place where the bone whistle fell caused the sea surface to rise…

A huge whirlpool appeared on the surrounding sea, with gray and white waves floating on the dark water.

Then—

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a loud bang and splashing water, a gigantic magical beast that could never exist on land in this era burst up from beneath the sea!

Its mountain-like body was covered in countless gray-black scales, resembling a giant snake, but with side fins that were many times wider than a sail!

It seemed astonished by the tiny bone whistle!

Its body bent and twisted, showing only part of itself above the water’s surface.

Next, it would sink back down to the ocean floor.

But even this sinking process took a full thirty seconds.

Scales appeared on the water’s surface and then disappeared not far away.

"It’s great to see you, old buddy."

Naivee laughed loudly and waved her hand.

Then she looked at Lolth, who was still watching everything from the sky, adjusting her hat that had been blown askew.

"Welcome to the sea, dear Lolthlinda, my beloved lord."

After hearing the greeting, Lolth finally showed a serious expression.

"The Master of the Seven Seas—"

As she spoke, the leaves of the Eternal Scepter grew lush and green.

"You have crossed the line!"

Lolth said this, and then…

Her figure disappeared from the stormy sky.

Immediately, on the battered deck of the Black Tide Ship…

A dazzling bright gold and dark red appeared before Naivee.

At the same time, water gathered into two streams in Naivee’s outstretched hands.

Finally, they formed two sharp curved daggers!

"Ding——!"

A clear sound and a burst of golden light exploded in front of Naivee.

A sharp curved dagger pressed against the much longer Eternal Scepter.

Naivee crossed her hands, and the daggers locked the staff tightly like a pair of scissors.

She looked at Lolth, who was very close, and saw the cold expression on her face.

"Lady Lolth—I’m sorry, but there are no borders over the sea!"

No borders, so why cross them?

Naivee said with a smile, then opened her mouth wide.

Her agile, pink tongue curled back, revealing a…

small bone whistle.

Naivee bit the small bone whistle.

This time, the bone whistle let out a sharp sound.

"Whoosh—"

The sound pierced through the wind and rain, thunder and waves!

In the sea beneath the Black Tide Ship, countless fish jumped out of the water!

Under the sky, birds that were wandering changed direction and flew towards this place!

From the depths of the sea below, that terrible low roar came again.

All the creatures in this sea heard the sharp whistle sound and rushed to this place!

It was as if they heard a call!

And the next moment, the first fish that burst out of the water…

No matter their size, they all crashed into Lolth fiercely!
