The early morning sun greeted , causing to open my eyes with a lazy yawn. My surroundings were still destroyed, no change over there. I took a few seconds to regain my bearings, a part of my mind still wishing to sleep so more.
Shaking my head at that thought, I slowly stood up another yawn escaping my mouth. "I wonder how the others are doing?" I muttered, my eyes subconsciously glancing behind in the direction of our floating ho.
After a few seconds, I walked towards the edge and dived headfirst towards the sea below. The water against my scales felt refreshing, making feel alive. A few small fishes didn't imdiately run at the sight of prompting a small smile to extend on my face.
I unhurriedly swam to the deeper ends of the sea, drawing closer to the ocean floor where I sensed a few large presences over there. The sea bed was dark and the closer I got to my destination the harder it beca to discern anything. Still, it was as if my eyes were specifically made for this since I was able to see everything as clear as day.
The ocean floor was not flat, quite the opposite. It appeared as an underwater mountain range. Extrely large and overwhelming. I could feel countless eyes on as soon as I appeared. Most ca from within the mountains, and between the deep crevices.
Still, since none of them dared to show their faces, I simply chose to ignore them as well. Glancing behind , I spotted the enormous cliff that extended above the water. It was akin to a giant spectacular wall.
Turning my gaze ahead, the endless underwater mountain range full of deep chasms greeted . 'Well, this looks rather cozy' I inwardly chuckled. Reaching out to the water mana, I extended it outwards from my body in all directions, using it as a radar of sorts to scan the area.
Every ti my mana passed by a cave, or a deep chasm that contained a presence inside, the occupants would imdiately shrink back in fear. After a few seconds, I had the general outline of the sea bed close to the cliff in mind. Most of the caves were already occupied, not that I cared.
Although the place did look cozy, it was still too close to shore for my tastes. If anything, I would have preferred a place deep within the sea, far from any landmass. After making sure that there was no imdiate threat in my surroundings, my mind spun as I began to think about my previous teleportation attempts.
Most could be considered a success, whilst my mastery over the cosmic elent and the teleportation spell had increased by leaps and bounds. A question, however, still plagued . Would teleportation be the sa when I'm underwater?
Here, the abundance of the water elent was undeniable. This made curious to see whether or not the teleportation process would remain the sa. Would such an abundance of water mana affect teleportation in any way? I was curious. Besides, I was planning to spend a lot of ti in the sea, hence why it was best to get this over with.
Floating a distance above the mountain range. I closed my eyes and reached out to the cosmic mana inside my soul space. It steered imdiately forming the usual thread that extended to the sky. Soon cosmic mana surrounded my entire body, my eyes locked on a mountain top a distance ahead.
The world stretched again in its usual pattern, losing all colors. The water mana in my surroundings seed to struggle against the outside force, locking the space around . This caused to frown as I summoned an even larger amount of cosmic mana.
I could feel the force lessen as I broke through space and traveled across the astral plane reappearing shortly on the mountain top. Glancing back at the area where I was, a water whirlpool ford as the water elent seed to have been thrown in disarray.
Seconds after, however, the whirlpool cald down ad disappeared as if it never existed. My frown deepened. The thing that I feared happened. Although the teleportation process was a success, it took much more cosmic mana to do so compared to when I was above water.
The abundance of the water elent did interfere with the cosmic elent making it harder to break through space and into the astral plane. 'That's strange though,' I inwardly mumbled scratching my head deep in thought.
'But even above the sea, most elents are present too. Not to ntion wind mana which is almost as abundant as the water elent right now. Could it be that the wind elent is more compatible with the cosmic one?'
'Hmm, I an that would explain why it doesn't interfere with teleportation as much as water does. Still, more research is needed to be sure.'
My eyes locked on another mountain top. This ti the amount of cosmic mana I summoned was significantly larger than before just to be safe. I could feel it surrounding my whole body. Using my spirit vision, I could see the cosmic elents trying to break through space and pushing back the water elents.
Soon, the world stretched before my eyes once again, losing its color. Sothing, however, went wrong at that second. The force of the cosmic elents seed to go out of control, the area around was cleared of any other elents.
I easily passed to the astral plane, all colors changing as I appeared there. The problem though was that I remained there as well ... My eyes darted about in shock and disbelief. I was still in the sea, well 'a' sea to be exact. The ocean I found myself in was multicolored, its appearance akin to that of the mana stream.
My scales tingled as I sensed a dangerous presence lurking beneath . Subconsciously, I flapped my wings, swimming farther away from the depths and out of the water. I trusted in my instincts, and they warned of sothing dangerous hidden inside the water.
I nervously gulped down and turned my attention towards the world around . My eyes widened as a gasp escaped my mouth. "Is this the astral plane?"
