“Ummm …… the water temperature is about 26 degrees Celsius?”
< It’s funny that only her neck and up are sticking out.>
Swimming in it feels good to . But because you don’t feel the heat and cold as much in this world as you do in real life, it’s just a little cooler.
As I swam at a depth of about five ters, I tried to get a feel for the water. The first thing I noticed was a slight discomfort.
(Hmmm… I’m being watched by sothing…)
From nowhere, I felt eyes on . It wasn’t from the water dragons who were happily swimming around but from sothing much larger.
It is, of course, not from a person. It’s most likely the gaze of sothing much bigger than the cute water dragon.
They don’t appear to be looking at with their eyes. It was as if sonar was constantly monitoring .
The fact that I can only vaguely perceive it with my five senses ans that it is most likely a magical fantasy enemy search ability.
“I feel like sothing is watching from the bottom of the water. But it’s more like it’s probing with sonar than looking at .”
“It’s not a person. It’s probably a water dragon or sothing like that, sothing lurking at the bottom of the lake. I’m going to dive a little further.”
I don’t think this ans much, but I took a deep breath and dived into the water again.
I began swimming toward deeper water, listening more intently, after confirming that the streaming crystals were following .
(At this pace, I can only dive for exactly 30 seconds at zero skill level.)
[Diving] skill is not a skill that makes you a better swimr or enables you to swim, but a skill that allows you to “hold your breath” underwater.
When you dive, this so-called oxygen gauge will appear, and it’s completely different from the SP bar.
The oxygen gauge and SP will recover over ti as soon as I erge from the water. As long as I don’t dive too deep, there is basically no problem.
“Fuahh, to think of it… and there’s no point in diving as deep as I can go.”
“By the way, this ga gets your clothes and hair wet, right? I’m curious if people wearing tal armor can swim?”
“I see… I’d better put away my Ouma for now.”
The trivia that the viewers told was kinda surprising; I then put Ouma away in my inventory since it’s made from tal.
“Kyuaa?”
“Oh, sorry, sorry. I’m sorry I left you alone.”
Perhaps she didn’t like the fact that I was talking to everyone else, but she poked with her head to break my balance while I was standing up floating.
To keep up with both the water dragon and the viewer, I had to proceed to deeper water while keeping a floating posture and pedaling backward.
“I wanted to say [The sky is blue] ……but it’s already evening. It’s a beautiful sunset.”
“Hmm, true. I was told that I couldn’t play in the swimsuit because of the monsters, but I haven’t seen any.”
“Kuy-ru-ruu!”
“What’s wrong~, you suddenly look proud. Could it be that Suiryuu-chan is the one who chasing away monsters~?”
“Kyu kyu kyu!”
“Oh, really. Good girl, good girl.”
“I see? I’m wondering if it’s her parents who are staring at right now. She’s adorable, isn’t she?”
The battle with the lty was tough. It was the biggest and fastest battle so far.
Anyway, the water is getting deeper. Let’s try to dive in a little bit more.
After about 20 minutes of leisurely swimming, I noticed an underwater cliff where the water suddenly seed to get deeper. I shifted my position and arrived with a dog paddle, then dove into the water to find the owner of the gaze that had been directed at .
“…Mogo!?”
It was deep and wide at the cliff’s end. Where the water was deeper, it extended at least a kiloter… if not further.
The depth was incredible. If we were to translate the light range into real-world terms, it would be around 400 ters, and that was the extent of the light; I couldn’t see the bottom at all.
There were far more diverse creatures roaming around here than I had expected. There are monsters and non-monster aquatic creatures.
(Oh, I’ve seen that monster, the 30-ter class monster, in the river between Trillia and Fias.)
The sight of the familiar monster swimming leisurely through the vast lake makes shudder.
It was [Abyss trout] level 80; at first glance, it appeared to be a large monster, but it was one of those salmon.
Even though it noticed us, it was swimming leisurely and passively. I’m not sure if it’s a passive monster or simply doesn’t want to harm the water dragon.
Wait, is the river and this lake even connected?
Thinking this, I listened carefully, and at the sa ti, as I heard a small sound echoing through the water that seed to be the cry of sothing, the structure surrounding Trillia ca into my mind. And it is much larger than I had anticipated.
(Wow…. on the surface, it appeared to be land, but underneath, it shows up to be a lake cave… don’t tell that the entire field around Trillia happens to be floating land on top of a lake?) {tln1}
The shallow section, which appeared to be quite wide, is only for show.
The cave part is so large that I believe the majority of the land between the Oni Forest and the large river that separates it from Fias is probably the ceiling of the lakebed caverns.
My ears can’t capture the entire picture because it is leaned towards ‘wide’ than ‘deep’. That was the extent of the lake that surrounded Trillia.
“Huff…. this is worse than I thought, isn’t it?”
< I’m so scared I’m going to cry.>
“At first glance, it looks dangerous, but around 200 ters deep, the cliff wall ends and it seems there’s a open space with a lot of noise. In a way, it feels like the field around this territory is floating, covering a large lake like a lid?”
“I wonder if I got any items or sothing. …… Oh, I got more titles!”
When I opened my status, I saw a flashing ssage indicating a new title.
“What is it? …., inside the [Suiryuu Entei]{Water Dragon Bottom} all monsters will no longer attacks you unless you attacked it first. What is this? This lake has a na like that?”
“It doesn’t seem like it have any downside… well, it seems like the fight will still occur if I attacking first, but maybe it’s a strong buff if you use it as a an to set up surprise attack advantage.”
“Eh? Aren’t this normal? Anyway, let’s try to hit Abyss Trout later.”
As long as we are not hostile from our side, the other party will not be hostile either, which ans that they will not attack us unless we attack them.
However, with my current level of [Diving] skill, I cannot dive to the depth where the Abyss trout are. It looks like it’s much deeper than 50 ters.
The monster has two HP gauges and does not appear to be vulnerable to a single surprise attack. It appears that we will only be able to fight it once we reach the abandoned city at the lake’s bottom.
For the ti being, I will continue to dive for a while to improve my diving skill. It’s beautiful underwater, and I’d be happy if I could take a look at it as if it were an aquarium.
“Kyuru!”
“ahahaha.”
Then for about two hours until sunset, I repeatedly dived and broadcasted the view of the lake bottom and also t a few of those giant water dragon children while working on raising my skill proficiency.
===*
The abandoned city at the bottom of the lake is a bit far from where Sukuna dived. It is a special dungeon, so it is quite far enough that you can only see it if you dive deep enough.
Incidentally, there are several water dragons in the entire area of the Water Dragon Abyss.
The deeper you dive, the stronger the monsters are. It is scary to be at the bottom of the pool where no light can reach, isn’t it?
Tl note:
Tln1: I hope you get lol. It ans that the underwater cave actually covers the whole area of Trillia.
Water Dragon Bottom, just think of it as Bikini Bottom. I can’t think of a more proper na.
