People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 301 "Servant": The God of Water can't beat the crab?

South of Fontaine, Cangjing District, Erinath.

Because the giant beast "Erinus" that once dyed the ocean black died here hundreds of years ago.

The northern side of the entire Cangjing District is still covered with huge skeletons that stand like mountains and many unique lives from other worlds.

Even in the passage of time, the bones of the giant beasts have long been integrated with the mountains, and the wind and earth have also built high ridges above the wreckage.

But for the people of Fontaine today, except for Merousin who was born here, this place is still a dangerous restricted area that almost no one is willing to set foot in.

But in such a mountainous area filled with monsters and debris, with no trace of human beings,

At this moment, under the silvery moonlight, the figure of a young girl quietly emerged under the cover of the water curtain.
It stood somewhat out of place on the rocky beach sand.

——There is no doubt that this girl holding a gorgeous scepter and with unique teardrop-shaped patterns in her eyes,

Naturally, it was Funina who had managed to shake off the guards and sneaked out alone under the cover of night.

It was rare for me to have my own power, but I was being watched by many people in Fontaine all day long, and I couldn't find any opportunity to experiment.

This "Water God", who is extremely powerful in the eyes of outsiders, felt that he was almost suffocated to death in Mo Mang Palace these days because of his unbearable itch.

After scanning the surrounding environment,

After making sure that no one had discovered his sneaking away,

Finina also let out a long sigh and patted her chest with relief:

"."

".As expected of me, I can avoid everyone's sight so perfectly.
Although there seemed to be a little mistake in the middle,
But in the past, I would never allow anyone to enter my room after dark, so I think no one would notice me sneaking out today."

I looked back and checked twice more.

Funina, who did not notice any staff behind her, was also amazed at her genius idea of ​​using the water curtain to reflect the external environment and hide her body.

“——Great, there’s finally a way to sneak out of Mo Mang Palace in the future!”

"Maybe if I disguise myself, I can visit those places in Fontaine that I've always wanted to visit but never had the chance to."

When she thought that she might have a chance to do what she really wanted to do without being restricted by her identity as the God of Water, Funina, who had been playing the role of the "God of Water" for five hundred years, even her eyes lit up.

But the excitement was only for a moment. After thinking about the risks of doing so,
She hesitated for a while, and finally sighed in her heart:

".Forget it. Although it seems that someone has already known my identity, I can't give up the plan of 'another me' just because of this."

According to experience in drama, even the best disguise will eventually be discovered.
She didn't want to add unnecessary flaws to the plan because of her spur of the moment.

But after looking at the scepter in his hand and feeling the power he possessed at the moment,

This "fake water god" thought to himself with some uncertainty:
".Speaking of which, the reason why I was so cautious before was because I didn't have the power of the true water god.
But if I could really take full control of this gift,

Now that I have the power that matches my identity, will I no longer be suspected no matter what I do?"

Because the acting time is too long,
In fact, Funina had gradually forgotten her original intention of doing this, and was just rigidly following her past habits.

But thinking about the people's increasing respect for him since he showed his power last time,

Under such changes, she also began to think about the true meaning of the word "performance".

".Well, it is better not to do this for the time being.

Let’s wait until I can completely control this divine power. Depending on the situation, it may take a long time.”

Even though I can now use this gift to exert the power of a god in the simplest way,

But Furnin did not forget that she did not have the ability to control everything perfectly.
If you really want to control the power of God with your current identity as a "mortal",

Even with such unique and advantageous conditions, one still needs to go through a lot of hard training.

Knowing that there is still a long way to go if you want to truly "become" a god instead of just acting as one,

She also temporarily put away the excitement in her heart.

I decided that from now on, I would make more efforts every night to achieve that ultimate goal.

"——Okay, let's leave the future for later.

The first goal today is to seek revenge on that big crab at the bottom of the sea!"

"——No matter how I think about it, even if that guy is a "local legend", his strength and size are far stronger than other individuals of the same species. My current strength should definitely be enough!"

I recall that I once took a boat to Hailu Harbor, but something I accidentally dropped hit a crab on the head and the crab chased me all the way.
No one dared to tell anyone afterwards, so Funina could only keep the matter to herself. She felt that now was finally the time for her to take revenge!

Try not to use commands to rigidly use the power of the scepter.

Finina closed her eyes and used the authority shared with her.

Use your heart to carefully feel the water elements around you that are feeding back to your world.
Although it is tiring to mobilize such power with a mortal spirit, she still wants to use this untapped power in her own way.

——According to her idea, as long as she truly possesses the control ability that matches her authority during exercise,

Then perhaps she could be comparable to a real demon god and use her identity as the water god to do whatever she wants.

"."

"Om-"

At first, the girl closed her eyes and nothing happened around her.
But a moment later,
Perhaps the information she had collected about elemental forces during this period was not in vain.
Accompanied by a rumbling sound of elements gathering,
The water elemental power around Furninna was finally mobilized by her.

Temporarily suppress the hard-earned joy in your heart,

She tried to use these elemental forces to build a water-proof barrier around herself to support her short-term activities underwater.

——Although some people who control water elemental power are said to be able to breathe underwater,

But after all, Funina had no experience, so she planned to start with a simple method.

Not long after,

As a blue barrier was finally formed by her efforts,

The "Water God" who sneaked out also breathed a sigh of relief. Without much hesitation, with a slight sound of falling into the water, for the first time, she stepped into the underwater world she had longed for in a way that made her feel free.

at the same time,

On the edge of a cliff in the distance.

Arlecino checked all the way for traps around her, fearing that she would be surrounded.

From a hidden place, he watched the water god jumping into the water like a novice.
The doubts in my heart have reached a level that is difficult to add:

——I thought this was a deliberate flaw to lure her out, but why wasn’t there even a single trap along the way?

Moreover, the water god in front of him was sometimes able to mobilize the elemental power,

Obviously, even she couldn't detect the technique used to conceal her existence.

But the series of operations before entering the water were stiff and slow, like a novice who had just obtained the Eye of God.

".Heh, it's impossible that this god avoided what everyone else wanted to do, just to go for a swim in the water?"

".Or is the real trap down there, and everything I've seen so far is just part of the show?"

He is just like his subordinates. Because of the other party's unconventional operations, he has no idea whether this God of Water is simple-minded or good at disguise.

Feeling that since he had come here, there was no reason to retreat, Alechino also shook his head and came to the water's edge like his target, deciding to follow and see what the God of Water was up to.

——It’s impossible that you would leave everyone behind in the middle of the night just to catch a couple of fish or crabs at the bottom of the sea, right?

If that happens,
Then what she should doubt is not the strength of the God of Water, but whether she has fallen into some kind of illusion.

Beneath the water, there is a unique ocean of life in Fontainebleau.

Because she was not proficient in the use of power, Finina did not notice that the Fatui executor above was puzzled by her act of running away.

Witnessing this underwater world with her own eyes for the first time, she felt an indescribable feeling of being touched and shocked:
——Under the silvery moonlight, schools of fish swam among the emerald green water plants.

Many young sea creatures of various colors moved their round bodies and followed the leader in an orderly manner.

The bubbles that slowly rose due to biological activities looked like crystal beads under the moonlight, brushing past Funina and slowly rising up with a subtle "gurgling" sound.
With this unprecedented sensitivity, her fingertips could even clearly feel the smooth feeling of touching the bubbles.

Looking down, even the only animal friend she had been able to interact with before, the "Puffmon",
The agile posture and blooming vitality when swimming underwater are also completely different from when basking in the sun on the shore.

"."

"."

Furninna wanted to say something, and she could indeed do it under protection.

But facing this beautiful scene that could even make her write several pages of poetry to praise it,
At this moment, she just wanted to stay where she was and quietly enjoy the free time that she had longed for for five hundred years.

"."

".I seem to be able to breathe normally?"

"My eyesight is much better than before. At least I can see the waters clearly under the moonlight."

After a while, as the shock in my heart dissipated a little,
Furninna also discovered many unusual things about herself.

Suddenly, she realized that "giving the user the power of God" was not that simple.
It's not just pure power, even her life form, under this gift, is slowly moving closer to existences different from humans.

".Although I don't seem to need the protection of this blister now, in order to avoid getting my clothes wet, it's better to keep it for now."

I tried to move in the water a few times.

Finina found that staying in the ocean was even more comfortable than being on land for herself who now shared the authority of water. She had a unique feeling that she was born to be here.

It didn't take long to master the technique of free movement.
She also forced herself to give up the urge to stay here and do nothing, just quietly watching the scenery all night.

He decided to stick to his original plan and seek revenge on the crab-shaped "local legend".

"."

".Wow, it's so difficult to use elemental power to explore the surroundings. A large amount of information is coming at me at once. It's impossible for anyone not to feel a headache, right?"

Ever since I once experienced an overload of information flooding into my mind, to the point where even my thoughts became stuck,

Funina stayed away from this method of using elemental power to scan the outside world and obtain information.

But in such a complex underwater environment, if she didn't use this method, how to find the "local legendary crab" would become a problem that troubled her.

Finina was troubled, but a certain lord who was used to being domineering under the sea did not give her too much time to worry.

Compared to the water god who had just arrived,
The "Heavy Shield Crab", which has a deep connection with this sea area and has regarded it as its own territory, actually discovered this human who had intruded into its territory long ago.

As a "local legend" born under the influence of the Fontaine River,
Although its intelligence is not much higher than that of its peers, it is at least able to find this prey that inexplicably exudes a strong attraction.

There was no action to remind.

After discovering that the intruder had been standing still for a long time, it decisively moved forward and launched its own attack.

!!!

“——Huh?! A giant crab? When did it appear?!”

Furninna was originally having a headache about how to find the enemy.
When I came to my senses, I found that this guy was almost on my face.
In such a hurry, let alone the fighting method designed at the beginning,
She almost subconsciously called her guards who always followed her like she did in Fontaine.

".No! I am at the bottom of the sea now.

And I am no longer powerless like before, I should be able to find a way."

“—Ah, never mind!

It's too much for me to fight this kind of enemy by myself, so I'll just have to use the power of the scepter this time!"

Looking at the purple crab not far away whose claws are bigger than mine,
Furninna looked down at her small arms and legs.

Without any hesitation, in front of a Fatui executive who was even considering whether to come to the rescue, the final plan to deal with the enemy was formulated.
