Chapter 137: One-Day Dungeon (5)

I knew it was about resonance!

I still dont quite get that!

Of course, you, as the Master, would have no problem mastering it but youve only been learning magic for less than half a year, right? Maybe thats why its taking some time.

Well

I doubt Id be able to do it even a few years later.

As I was tilting my head in confusion, Carla smiled brightly, as if to reassure me.

But dont worry! This time, Ive prepared a method that might be a little helpful for you! Lets try it as soon as we return to the dormitory!

Carla exuded anticipation with her whole body. Unable to voice my doubts, I awkwardly nodded.

Okay Ill give it a try.



At the end of the left path, we finally arrived at the Core Room.

The places weve been calling rooms were actually just expanded drainage areas with no doors and empty spaces.

But this place was an exception.

The Core Room was originally a kind of staff room controlling the sewage treatment facilities of Atlantis.

This place was a proper room, through and through.

Moreover, due to the spatial distortions centered here, the Core Room has preserved its original form from 300 years ago.

Yes, 300 years ago. The scene from the midst of the War of the Gods remained as it was.

The walls of the square room were all covered in blood, and mermaid corpses were strewn about over unidentifiable devices.

However, all the corpses were disfigured beyond recognition.

A corpse with its eyeballs gouged out and stones inserted in their place, another stripped naked with one side of its chest cut open and stuffed into its mouth, and another with its facial skin peeled off, among others.

Everyone frowned at the sudden, horrific scene.

This is

Ugh!

An unpleasant memory comes to mind.

A ritual perhaps?

No, Senior Faye. Its not a ritual but a game. Fishermen are narrow-minded predatory monsters. You know their traits, right?

Discord. And cruelty towards the losers.

The attribute of narrow-minded predators was jealousy.

The cultists and monsters following the creature couldnt tolerate anyone being better than themselves.

Even if they bow their heads for now, they were filled with thoughts of bringing down the opponent someday.

Were there exceptions? Perhaps only the narrow-minded predators themselves and the high-ranking officers directly appointed by them?

Beyond these, they probably never even truly followed the other Evil Gods.

Thus, the followers of the narrow-minded predators caused discord wherever they went and were excessively cruel to those they defeated.

Have you seen the appearance of the Fishermen? They are part fish, part human, just like mermaids. But Fishermen are treated as monsters, while mermaids are considered sentient beings.

Thats because the Fishermen behave like monsters, isnt it?

I patted the puzzled Iris on the head.

Ah, right. You said you needed my alchemy, Junior? What do we do here?

Its simple. This was the place controlling all of Atlantiss drainage. Such an important facility was always managed by a member of the royal family

High-ranking people always have a habit of hiding important things somewhere. We just need to find that, right?

We already know the location. The lock magic must have been broken when the narrow-minded predators forcibly lifted Atlantis. We just need Senior Fayes alchemy to open the box inside.

I tapped the floor near the desk with the corpse of the mermaid princess a few times with my foot, feeling a spot that sounded a bit different.

Invisible force, become my hand. Force Grab.

One of the strongest psychokinesis spells I could use. Pouring a generous amount of magic power into it, even thin metal should easily bend.

Crack.

The floor was forcibly torn open with the sound of something breaking.

Inside, there was a small box and a letter.

I opened the letter to find it matched exactly with what I had read in H&A.

Roughly, it talked about her being the 3rd Princess of Atlantis, and how she came to take charge of the drainage area to somehow stop the incoming Fishermen.

And then, her unfulfilled wishes were listed one after another.

A will with somewhat solemn and regrettable content.

But the important thing was the last line written.

If only we had a little more time, if this potion had been completed, would anything have changed?

Obviously, the potion she referred to was in the box.

I handed the box made of unknown metal to Faye.

There should be an unfinished potion inside. Please complete it, Senior Faye.

Is there a recipe?

No. If there had been a recipe, it wouldnt have just listed the ingredients unfinished like this. However, I do know what the final result is supposed to be.

The legacy of Atlantis that granted permanent underwater breathing and, to a lesser extent, the ability to control water.

The Blessing of the Sea.

It was originally intended to be crafted to bring Sword Masters or Arch Mages of other races.

Had masters capable of exerting their full strength underwater after consuming the Blessing of the Sea come to their aid?

The destruction of Atlantis might have been inevitable with the intervention of an Evil God, but perhaps the extinction of the mermaids could have been prevented.

Well, that was all hypothetical.

Im certain you can create something by combining the potions here. But the method has to be figured out by Senior Faye.

A multi-combination potion? It seems like it will take some time Cant we just take it and make it elsewhere?

One of the ingredients is a potion called the Essence of Atlantis, which loses its effect the moment it leaves this place.

Then theres no choice. Give me a moment to try.

Mixing several potions to create complex and new effects was known as multi-combination.

300 years ago, this was a theory just coming into prominence, and they couldnt produce it in time

But now, its possible.

The long war and 300 years had dramatically advanced various technologies, including alchemy.

And since high-ranking alchemists had started to share their knowledge, any competent alchemist could find the combination by now.
