Volume 1 Chapter 563

Chapter 563: Where Is Lolth?

Fish, so many fish.

Tuna, flying fish, swordfish, mackerel, silver carp…

All kinds of fish jumped up from the deep sea, crashing into Lolth and exploding!

Little splashes of water blossomed.

Each fish was ordinary and plain, so usual that even if it appeared on the table after being cooked the next second, it would only make people feel…

"Ah, it seems there is nothing wrong."

Such tiny beings, lacking even wisdom, and not even real lives but just shadows brought by the sea, could never affect Lolth.

The fish bumped into her, making a ‘splash’ sound, and left no trace behind.

Not even the droplets of water splashed up touched Lolth’s clothes.

Lolth pulled her staff from Naivee’s twin daggers, ignoring the fish hitting her, and turned the staff around.

Then, the tip of the Eternal Scepter pointed at Naivee’s throat.

"Bang!"

But this clever and swift stab was once again blocked by Naivee’s curved dagger.

"What’s wrong, Lady Lolth… you seem to be a bit slow!"

She swung her curved sword and even struck at Lolth.

The twin swords cut through the sea wind, their sound like the waves, as if carrying a thousand pounds of water.

This was Naivee’s counterattack!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Three loud bangs echoed through the rain.

Before the twin swords reached Lolth, they were deflected away.

Lolth’s defense was just as quick.

That was a speed even Isabella and her friends could not see clearly.

Two to the left and one to the right, perfectly anticipating Naivee’s strike, each blow was met with the tip of the staff.

But while Lolth and Naivee were fighting,

The fish did not stop hitting.

The fish crashing into Lolth grew bigger and bigger.

Even the birds flying above… seagulls and pigeons, quietly arrived.

They dove down from the sky and hit Lolth.

The splashes of water became denser and denser.

Although Lolth was still not seriously harmed…

Lolth was still disturbed.

Those splashes made her feel…

Very irritated.

If her status had not been so high, she would not have felt this way.

But precisely because Lolth’s status was so high now, she felt a strong discomfort.

This was because those fish and birds were false lives.

They were brought into being because of the ocean’s will.

In the mainland plane, the ocean was like another realm.

Its will could also be seen as the will of the realm.

And the Plane Will made Lolth feel uncomfortable.

It was like seeing a cockroach.

Even though she knew this thing was not harmful, she still couldn’t stand it.

These small Plane Wills seriously affected Lolth’s focus.

Her instincts made it impossible for her to ignore these things.

But these things really didn’t need attention.

"Damn trick," Lolth said coldly, turning her wand to swat away a grinning shark.

"Smack!"

The shark burst into splashes of water.

Then, Lolth gently moved the Eternal Scepter.

She pointed at the surface of the sea.

The surface of the sea instantly became still.

It was not completely still, but seemed to be pushed down by Lolth.

The surface of the sea was still slightly rippling, as if resisting.

But from the fact that no more fish broke the water’s surface…

Lolth won.

But…

Changing targets suddenly in a fight was not a wise choice.

Although facing Naivee, she really had time to hit the shark and deal with those gradually growing fish.

After all, Naivee was indeed not as strong as she was.

But Naivee was not foolish.

During the time Lord Lolth turned her head, Naivee did not attack her from behind.

Because Naivee knew it wouldn’t make much difference.

And when Lord Lolth turned back again…

What she saw was a smiling Naivee.

"You really look down on others a bit… Lady Lolth."

She said this and let out a long sigh.

The two swords crossed in front of her face, forming a cross.

On the flat side of the curved blade, raindrops had already gathered.

It looked like a tiny ocean.

And Lolth, after a long time…

Felt a sense of danger.

She squinted her eyes, and the red dress began to burn from the hem.

The pink flames appeared again, but this time, they did not spread outward.

Instead, they stuck to Lolth’s body.

On the red skirt, flames danced, as if they were decorative ornaments.

"So what if it is?"

Lolth whispered.

"It seems there’s really nothing we can do," Naivee slightly bent forward, moving her twin daggers, the backs of the blades rubbing against each other, water droplets falling, making a sharp "shhh" sound. "But… we have to try, right?"

She shouted this and suddenly dashed towards Lolth.

The twin daggers sliced forward and backward, splashing the rainwater that had gathered on the blades, creating two crescent-shaped arcs of water!

The horizontal arc connected with the dark clouds in the sky!

The vertical arc stirred the deep sea beneath the ship!

The sea and storm that had been suppressed by Lolth became wild again, gathering within the two blades.

The wind and rain intertwined, the waves piled high…

It was not Naivee who struck with two blades, but this realm itself!

"Your Highness Lolth! I apologize for any offense!"

As Naivee spoke these humble words, the knife in her hand was indeed extremely sharp!

Beneath the sea, a semi-transparent giant fish’s tail broke through the water, lifting high to cover the sky!

The seawater cascaded from the edge of the fish’s tail, like the Milky Way tilting.

Each scale was as large as a person, closely arranged and etched with ancient marks!

The fish’s tail, alongside Naivee’s knife, also surged towards Lolth.

This was Naivee’s third strike…

It was a prelude to the little fish and shrimp that had smashed against Lolth before…

It was also a pure embodiment of the ocean’s will.

It was truly…

A killing move.

Lolth looked at the two blades in front of her and the fish tail behind her.

Her expression remained indifferent and calm.

She stood there quietly, even with a hint of grace.

The only change was the tranquil flames burning on her body.

The flames flickered again…

But they were not meant to be extinguished.

Instead, they were growing.

Heavy rain, sea wind, pressure, will…

This was a flame that could burn everything.

The things mentioned above could also be burned.

In the moment when Naivee’s twin daggers were about to strike, and the fish tail was about to fall…

In this brief moment.

Time seemed to stretch infinitely.

Because that flame was slowly growing.

It was swift, needing only a moment, before expanding once again into a mass of flames with Lolth at its fiery center.

Yet, when staring at it, it felt as if that fire had burned for an entire age.

"Bang!"

Even the boiling process was skipped; the flames consumed the water, burning away the torrential rain.

"The master of the Seven Seas…"

Lolth looked at Naivee approaching her and even sighed.

"It’s a pity this isn’t the ocean…"

Reflections came to an end.

Next…

"Boom!"

The surging flames, under Lolth’s control, swept toward the fish tail and Naivee.

The huge fish tail, which was meant to strike the entire Black Tide Ship, collided with the flames in the air.

Then, it seemed to be "exploded."

It burst into a shower of water!

And ahead, Naivee’s figure was also engulfed by the flames.

But only for a moment…

She broke through the flames again, bursting out from the blazing pink light, stretching her body in mid-air…

Still aiming to strike Lolth with those two slashes.

Fire and water were both rising, but Naivee was focused and undeterred.

This was her strongest blow…

Even if she was destined to fail, once she decided to strike, she must cut down!

Just like her last voyage at sea—once the sails were up, there was no turning back!

Either return from the other side of the continent!

Or…

Fall into the end of the world!

This determined double strike hit Lolth for the first time!

One blow struck her right shoulder, and another hit her side below the ribs.

The curved blade cut through the flames and sliced through the red dress, embedding itself in Lolth’s body.

But Lolth still stared at her with a blank expression.

The wound did not bleed at all.

"I allow you this time’s overstep and forgive your boldness."

She said this while looking at the pale-faced Naivee, her voice cold.

Although Naivee still held her twin daggers, she…

In fact, she looked more like she was propping herself up with the daggers just to stand.

The borrowed false body and strength, though still "hers," were not the real thing.

The burden was still too great.

Moreover, breaking through the flames, calling upon the will of the Seven Seas, and striking these two rare blows…

For Naivee, it was also a great drain of energy.

"Is that so? Then I feel quite honored."

She looked at Lolth and smiled.

"But a crime is still a crime."

As Lolth said this, she raised her hand to lift Naivee’s chin with her cane.

"Pay for your sins."

As she spoke, Naivee squinted her eyes.

"Oh… Is that so?"

"But I think it would be better to wait for a while."

Naivee said, looking up at the sky.

"Because… the ship is going to sink."

The fish tail in the sky scattered.

But…

Just like its shape.

This is just… a tail.

Even though the fish tail was almost completely burned by flames, most of the big fish’s body, which seemed to be a "symbol of the Seven Seas" manifested by the Seven Seas Will…

was still underwater!

"Splash!"

The sea beneath the ship began to swirl in a whirlpool.

And the entire Black Tide Ship started to sink slowly.

"A sunken ship is also an essential and very meaningful part of the ocean."

Naivee drew her curved blade, and the wounds on Lolth’s body healed instantly.

But before Lolth could react,

Naivee dropped her twin daggers and hugged Lolth tightly with both hands.

Even if flames spread to her own body, burning her magic and soul, and causing her deep pain, Naivee didn’t care at all.

"Let’s go to the sea floor, Lady Lolth!"

She said this while laughing loudly.

The whirlpool below the ship finally grew strong enough to shake the whole Black Tide Ship, and the ship suddenly tilted upright by ninety degrees.

Naivee, holding Lolth, fell together into the deep sea.

Lolth continued to look at Naivee.

She frowned slightly.

"What are you doing?"

She did not understand Naivee’s actions.

So what if she let herself be taken into the ocean?

To be honest, standing on the Black Tide Ship felt no different from being in the deep sea.

After all, as long as we are in this stormy world, it feels like we are inside the Seven Seas Will.

The next moment, Lolth was embraced by Naivee and fell to the bottom of the sea.

"Splash!"

She arrived below the surface of the water.

The moment Naivee touched the water, it seemed she lost consciousness, her eyes tightly closed, and bubbles came out from her mouth.

It made a gurgling sound.

Therefore, she did not answer Lolth’s question.

The flames on Lolth continued to burn even underwater.

The pink flames illuminated the dark ocean.

It was deeper here than she had imagined, just like falling into the sea and reaching the deepest part of the ocean.

It was quiet and cold all around, as if filled with the scent of death.

Ugly fish and strange, glowing creatures suddenly appeared from the deep sea, swimming past Lolth as if nothing was happening.

Then they disappeared again.

The will of the Seven Seas surrounded Lolth.

Even with the unconscious Naivee by her side, the ocean seemed to hold no hostility.

Although it was silent and cold, strange and very dark, it did not make anyone feel scared at all.

Lolth was sinking down as Naivee held her tightly.

In the end…

It was as if they had sunk to the bottom of the sea, and they stopped.

Lolth felt her mind becoming fuzzy.

No…

It was not a fuzzy mind.

Instead, her mind was celebrating!

Lolth finally remembered… she was…

Drunk.

"I see, it’s because after ‘drinking,’ the leftover divinity and power were triggered that made me become this way…"

Lolth sighed and gently closed her eyes.

The alcohol in her body was starting to come out.

This strange feeling after drinking was slowly fading away as she went deeper into the sea.

The ocean could drown everything.

So, Naivee’s mind was very clear.

Her goal from the very beginning was not to conquer herself or win the battle.

It was to make herself feel awake.

Naivee never forgot this point.

"What a clever fellow," she said softly.

Lolth sighed, and the pink flames slowly went out.

Pink smoke rose from her body and turned into pure magic that reentered her.

As this smoke appeared, her red dress and the non-existent body parts slowly faded away, transforming back into the simple and smooth appearance of everyday Lolth.

A casual outfit with a comforting, slender figure.

Naivee also curled her body, slowly changing from the girl back into the cute and large turtle.

The bottom of the deep sea looked like a fairy tale that had passed midnight.

All magic and changes returned to the beginning.

Lolth felt a wave of sleepiness wash over her and gently closed her eyes.

"Thank you, Naivee."

She sighed and fell into a deep sleep.

In the next moment, deep in the ocean, Kululu, who had a bubble over her head and looked like she was holding her breath, swam out.

She separated Lolth from Naivee and then took Lolth, disappearing again into the depths of the ocean.

"Damn it… I still have to take her back!"

"What a hassle!"

In the deep sea, only Kululu’s complaint remained.

Soon, the entire ocean also vanished above Hillenbrand Town.

Only a turtle lying on its back, sound asleep, and a group of confused girls were left behind.

"Where is Lolth? Where did she go?"
