Chapter 433-431: The Blood Gate, Arrival (Please Subscribe)

night!
On a silver sea, there lies a nameless, desolate island.

Her ethereal voice, like heavenly music, accompanied the rise and fall of the waves, adding an indescribable mystery to the dark night.

Even more mysteriously, huge black shadows loomed around the nameless island.

Some float on the water's surface, resembling small hills; some are half-hidden, exuding a powerful aura; and others are hidden in the water, like snakes or pythons.

The only thing they have in common is their eyes, which open and close from time to time, like giant lanterns, glowing red, accompanied by deep breathing, which is frightening.

These are all sea creatures!

These are sea monsters summoned by the siren girls. Although they are only temporarily under control, their sheer number is still quite frightening.

Even the navy of the Kingdom of Sardinia, or the ironclad warships of the Habsburg Empire, would not want to provoke them.

On the deserted island in the center, a splash of water revealed a magical warship emerging from the water.

Then, a thick fog rolled in, quickly obscuring the entire nameless deserted island and completely isolating the area.

In the center of the deserted island, a magical crystal lamp hangs in mid-air, its soft, bright light dispelling the mist and darkness, and illuminating the island's center with a clear, bright glow.

Upon closer inspection, a gate has been erected here. It is semi-circular and not very large. The stone used is quite special, as if it has been soaked in fresh blood.

It is engraved with many magical patterns, which are winding and have some peeling off, giving people a feeling that it has been eroded by time and cannot last.

This is the Blood Gate!
It is also a unique long-distance teleportation magic circle of the Naga sea race, which can be regarded as a unique application of water magic.

Loy was willing to go to R'lyeh, but he had no intention of walking there step by step; he simply didn't have the time.

Clearly, the princess was unwilling to wait, so along with the letter, she also sent this blood-stained gate.
And the corresponding methods for opening and using it.

Compared to land-based portals, these blood portals, which originated from water magic, are actually simpler and more convenient.

Most importantly, the required magical materials can be mass-produced and are not scarce.

Of course, there are also drawbacks, the most obvious being that it must be used in the ocean.

When the Blood Gate opens, it requires a massive amount of water element, which cannot be supplied unless it is used in the ocean.

This is why Luo Yi insisted on finding a place on the Silver Sea!

Otherwise, given the current chaos in Yinhai, he would never have chosen this place.

At this moment, when everyone arrived at the Blood Gate, before anything even started, Ms. Palacios got busy.

She took out a long string of potions from her storage bag, distributed them one by one, and explained each one.

"Come on, everyone, take these potions. I specially brewed some for this trip, and some were purchased."

This is specifically for dealing with the underwater environment.

"First and foremost is this bottle, the most important one, 'underwater breathing,' which can enhance the filtering effect of your skin, filtering out enough oxygen from the water to sustain life."

Of course, I've heard that legendary beings already have self-sustaining bodies and don't need to use them anymore.

"Then there's this bottle, 'Cassius Potion,' also known as 'Stress Relief Potion.' Deep in the ocean, the water pressure is immense. If you're not prepared, you can easily get your lungs crushed."

This Cassius potion can form a protective film around the body, using a counter-current rhythm to counteract the pressure of the deep sea, allowing us to move freely.

"Of course, Cassius potions also have drawbacks; they are easily destroyed if subjected to intense battles and attacks."

Therefore, everyone must be careful; if the water film is broken, you must drink the second bottle immediately.

"Some people might ask, if a real fight breaks out, we can't just focus on the water film on the outside of the body?"

Therefore, I have also prepared 'Potential Cassius Potion' for everyone. This is an upgraded version with better effects and the ability to automatically repair the water film.

However, the duration is difficult to determine.

"Under normal circumstances, it can last for twelve hours, but if it is repeatedly broken and consumed, it is hard to say how long it will last."

My suggestion is to keep a bottle in your mouth during combat, and crush it if needed.

"And then there's this, the Sersara Potion, also known as the Fishtail Potion, which simulates the shape of a fishtail in the water around our legs."

Use it when needed; it can greatly enhance your movement speed and agility in the water.

"As for this last bottle, it's an extremely rare water-based shapeshifting potion, which I crafted using the blood of a siren."

Therefore, after drinking it, you can temporarily transform into a siren, possessing the underwater vision, gill breathing, swimming skills, and so on.

The downside is that, due to the different structure of their larynx, they are currently unable to produce human sounds.

"This is only for when you're truly escaping for your life. Each person only gets one bottle. Remember that! Remember that!"

Lady Palacios really did distribute them to everyone, including the red dragon Virgil and the vampire Grand Duke Edward Cullen; each of them received one.

Virgil the Red Dragon readily accepted the potions; they were all valuable items. However, Grand Duke Edward Cullen of the vampire clan was somewhat at a loss, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

Finally, she scattered in front of Luo Yi.

Then, just as Luo Yi reached out to take it, she pulled back.

She said, "My lord, I carefully crafted most of these potions. Because of the tight schedule, I used up a lot of precious magical materials."

Luo Yi understood immediately: "Reimburse! Reimburse! All the potions are on my tab."

"The Earl is truly magnificent!"

Loy looked at Ms. Palacios again, her eyes filled with surprise: "I really didn't know you could sell potions?"

"I also cultivated step by step. After reaching the fourth level, I could be arrogant, but when I was at the first and second levels, I had to worry about cultivation resources."

This potion is my livelihood.

As she said this, a nostalgic look flashed in her eyes: "Back then, the first time I met your father, I was trying to sell him potions. We got to know each other better over time, and that's how I was invited by him to become a worshipper in the Flower Territory."

That was thirty years ago; in the blink of an eye, everything has changed!

Luo Yi pursed her lips, didn't say anything, and waved her hand.

He stopped talking and looked up, glancing around.

Loy stood in front of the Blood Gate, with the red dragon Virgil to his left and the vampire Grand Duke Edward Cullen to his right.

To his left front, Oliveira stood with his sword in hand, his expression solemn, and his eyes seemed to flash with electricity.

To his right, Iron Knight Phil stood with a solemn expression, his hand on the hilt of his greatsword, his aura subtly rising.

As for Lady Palacios, a fourth-tier mage, she was naturally in the safest position.

Therefore, she was behind Roy, in the closest place to the red dragon Virgil.

She had seen the true form of this being, and she believed that with this being present, she would have time to chant incantations.

As for Luo Yi, he was in the center, and even though he considered himself to be quite strong, he was now the one everyone was protecting.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Yi said, "Everyone, it was I who brought you to the underwater world..."

So please believe me, I will definitely bring you back safely.

"Walter!"

"exist!"

"let's start!"

"Yes!"

Walter responded and immediately got to work. He walked to the Blood Gate, raised his hand, and took out a skull from his dimensional bag.

That wasn't a human head, but some kind of sea creature, as if it had been shrunk to the size of an adult's head by some kind of magic.

Its overall color is blood red, as if there is thick blood rippling around it, but upon closer inspection, it looks like magical ripples.

As soon as Walter took it out, it seemed to possess a tremendous suction force, with blood-red magic surging and seeping from the skull, spreading towards the Blood Gate.

Along with it, the sea level surrounding the deserted island also rippled.
Then, jets of water rose into the air, curved, and transformed into semi-circular water rings, moving in a regular pattern.

Five water rings appeared in succession, and the intense water element and blood gate were resonating.
Then, the space within the Blood Gate began to tremble and distort, against a blood-red background, as if a door to an unknown land had been opened.

Without any hesitation, Luo Yi raised her hand and waved: "Let's go!"

And so, under Walter's watchful gaze, the six of them disappeared one after another into the blood gate.

……

the other side.

R'lyeh, the palace, beside the Blood Gate.

The elegant and sexy woman has arrived again, but this time, she has lost her previous good temper and has become extremely irritable.

"You lied to me! You lied to me! How dare you lie to me!"

"The person you mentioned has never come. You are also an abandoned person, a pitiful abandoned person."

“I said, if you come back, you’ll have to pay the price, and I mean it!”

The woman held a trident in her hand, and with the end of the trident, she pierced the iron cage through the gaps in the cage.

She moved back and forth like a madwoman, the end of her halberd as sharp as a knife, stabbing bloody holes into the body of the sea monster Alexius.

The cage was too small; even though he tried his best to move his body, he was still covered in wounds.

At this moment, the eyes of Alexius, the Siren King, had lost their luster; he too was hesitant, uneasy, and fearful.

But at one moment, he seemed to see something out of the corner of his eye, and he suddenly looked up, staring in a certain direction, his eyes becoming brighter.

Almost instinctively, he grabbed the trident that was thrust down.

During the standoff, the woman's face grew even uglier, and her words became even more furious: "You actually dare to resist? Do you really want to die?"

As she spoke, she was about to strike, but then she saw Alexius's eyes and sensed the agitation of the elements...

She seemed to have thought of something, and also suddenly looked up.

Then she saw it, she saw it: red light flowed on the blood gate, water elements stirred, thus distorting the space within.

Then, a figure stepped out from the blood gate and arrived here.

At this moment, their eyes met, and the atmosphere was extremely subtle.

The commotion of the opening of the Blood Gate also alerted the guards in the palace.

One by one, strong and powerful sea creatures of various shapes and sizes approached.

Loy even saw a giant, at least six meters tall, with bulging muscles, wielding an anchor as a weapon, appear behind the woman.

Those were whale warriors, the most powerful of the sea creatures, also known as sea giants.

As soon as he stood there, his aura as powerful as a mountain and as vast as the sea, he shielded the woman behind him.

However, Loy's gaze swept past him and landed inside the iron cage, where she saw the sea monster Alexius.

At this moment, his initial curiosity about arriving in a new place was replaced by an unnamed fire.

　Second update, delivered!
