Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

A grain of blue light emanates from Marl's fingertips, dancing around my body.

... the patronage of the Spirit King of Water?

"You can stay active for as long as you do on land in the water, and your body won't be crushed if you go deep. What I want you to be aware of is that, like the magic of water, what we spirits don't understand can be mitigated, but ignored."

The effects are underwater breathing and water resistant pressure. The temperature drop received from the water temperature is also likely to be ignored. Unlike the magic of underwater breathing, it is gratifying that there is no magic consumption and you do not have to worry about the effect time.

However, it is not enough to disable the great magic of water. That's the same as Tefra's protection around there.

"Thank you. This is going to be enough."

Thankfully, Marl grinned and nodded.

Well...... Even for me, I found mermaids and half-fishers, and there are places where the excursion was expanding my detection range in anticipation of the extent to which I would talk... Try to discover it. This situation changes things a little bit.

It's going to be a problem what the mermaids think of us, so we're going to need to be careful so they can listen to us first.

"Can't you ask me for another one? When I make contact with the two people on the escape side, I want you to be present. If it's going to be a battle, I'll take it here."

"Okay."

Okay, we're set for a step. Once the Sirius is raised, he disappears in a field of light magic and rushes to the scene. The ship is left to Alpha to continue flying in the form of sideways over the scene while leaving it on deck.

Glow of life response beneath the eyes. Two fleeing and their chase. There is still a distance...... it also seems to be shrinking gradually and it will be only a matter of time before they are chased away.

... It also seems more like the two escaping are slowing down than... Where either health is the limit?

"Well, I'll be there."

"Okay. If anything unforeseen happens, we'll turn to cover."

Looking back, Grace answers, and everyone looks at me and nods.

For once, going out to the sea to the west also means we have gear for underwater warfare. Even if a newbie or something showed up, it would be possible to handle it. Then...

Both mares fly off the deck and plunge upside down into the sea. I notice it just jumped from head to head into the sea water. The water resistance feels very weak.

I see...... This is certainly not to the disadvantage of being underwater. The water magic manipulates the water flow to reach the desired depth. Both mar rapidly.

Almost perfect. It descends and suddenly stops as it slides into the rear of the mermaids.

"Become!?... to, human!? And the water spirits?

The two of them have been suddenly diving at an unexpected rate. I can't handle them, and the half fishmonger looks back and sets up a trident by coming forward to shelter the mermaid.

To show that this is harmless, close your eyes and thank you first.

"Sorry to surprise you all of a sudden. They seem to be chasing us, so we went in to help them."

"The people on earth... help us?

The half fisherman seems somewhat confused. Round your black-eyed eyes like black pearls.

The mermaid looks more like what is commonly imagined. My golden hair is shaking in the water. He wore clothes wrapped in water spider thread. He's injured... I can see he treated a scar on his shoulder. Something seems to be coating it with jelly medicine to stop the bleeding. He hides behind a half-fish man and peeks at this one and his surroundings with a frightened look.

On the other hand, the half fisherman, speaking of...... has textured skin like dolphins and chachi.

Streamlined with fins and the like on the sides of the face that are generally resistant to water resistance. The feet are not fish-shaped either, two legs with water. Making faces resembles humans and reads facial expressions.

I'm wearing armor-like gear around my chest and hips...... rather than the image of a fishface covered in commonly imagined scales, it would be firmer to call me aquatic mankind in one way or another.

"Because Verdogal is a policy that welcomes humans and friendly other races. I've been doing business with the Duke of Driscoll, even more so if the species are with me."

"It's... yes, no, but..."

"It's true. I didn't lie."

And I say to the half-fish man who looks like Marr is still confused.

"Weltes...... These people... don't you mind if I believe them?

The mermaid says, but Weltes shook his head sideways.

"Aren't we… told by the Queen to refrain from excessive contact with those on earth? Because it's for each other..."

But that was it.

Because the other one, who was following me from the rear, entered the sight of Balor, who was wary of the rear. Almost at the same time, a half-fish man called Weltes notices it.

"Run, boy. In the water...... not the one on earth who has a winning eye"

That's how Weltes tries to get out in front of me - but he controls the movement with his hands. When I see the glow of magic, Weltes takes me seriously.

If Weltes can fight with mermaids than he did, he won't run away.

Look back and confront him. I thought if you were a kind of fierce demon, you'd come in without a problem, but you stopped moving over there.

"... man and the Spirit of Water"

Do you manipulate words?

Again, a race I've never seen. The overall appearance is… I have the impression that the subordinates have been divided by adding the plutonium and the plutonium. It is a streamlined figure suitable for swimming, but it is covered in thick scales on each side, with even sharp nails at the fingertips of the hands and feet.

Red eyes shimmering in the dim dark waters of the sun. Ripped mouth and sharp fangs lined up there. This one, too, wears something like armor. He even had a strange blunt instrument in his hand as if he had processed the spine of a giant fish into a mace.

"Get out of there... I... catch them, take them to my Lord, and go home"

"... the mermaids are the deal for us. I'd like to talk more about it first."

"... g, g. of the earth...... you say you are talking to monkeys? Don't make me laugh."

He shook his shoulder with a creaking voice.

"The spirits of water seem to care about the monkeys because they are on the back... I know, man. The spirits of high rank, because of their great power, cannot help in these strife."

... Hmm. Well... if you say anything about Marr, that's true.

"What's that?

When I say that, he strips his fangs in frustration.

"I carved you up, I swallowed you up, I scattered you all over this sea, and there was no one to help me. Now I'm gonna miss you."

... right. I can exchange words for once, but as a negotiator, you're uncomfortable.

He seems to respect the two of them even though they draw a line because they are the people of the earth.

"- I'm going to ask you straight in."

"What?"

Looking back over his shoulder, he asks Weltes. I could see that the Tsubaki man confronted me at the edge of his sight whitened his nose and stripped his fangs.

"His Lord is not the Lord to you two races, is he?

"Oh. Our Lord is the queen of mermaids. You're all alone."

Weltes looked at me and nodded clearly. Well...... that would be enough. The BFO also suggests information about the queens of the mermaids.

Sooner than this one looked back, the guy moved.

He twists his body and comes in at a torpedo-like rate as he accelerates. Aim is flank. Move at a rate this one can't react to and decide on the meat with your jaw. With intense momentum, fangs loom...

Recirculate with shields. He passes by tongue-in-cheek that the first shot didn't hit him, swirls and accelerates, coming in again. From the position that makes this blind spot, hang on to the medulla oblongata - delightfully narrowing your eyes.

"Well, I guess I get it"

"What!?

He unfolded his shield to take it according to the angle he had penetrated, and as he tapped into the magic shock wave, Xuan man held his face back and leaned back.

Kick the shield and stick with the water flow manipulation to the (9) man who tries to disengage and re-compartmentalize into an unexpected counterattack. When he saw it, he opened his eyes. You mean you never thought you'd come after me at the speed of travel in the water?

"Monkeys!

He comes to me with a blunt instrument of bone. The blunt instrument itself seems to be entangling a swirl of water. If you take it with a uroboros wrapped around a reverse rotating magic vortex and jump up the reverse end while crushing a bone blunt instrument due to that difference in impact force - a magic spark light bursts at his jaw tip.

He comes backwards but waves his nails. I avoided turning my body sideways and stayed on for a spin, caught up with the guy trying to leave, and set up a melee while walking side by side.

Now they're going for this neck and heart with struggling hand and foot nails, not vortexes. You're right to target a one-shot special, but the move is close to that of a wildlife. Quickly and sharply, but with no waste of aim, I can read the aim and orbit precisely from sight and reaction. So I could easily tap into the counter.

Elbows, flanks, pigeon tails, the soles of the feet -. Strike in a blow of Uroboros to match the attack that is carried out. External skin, muscle strength, skeleton. All robust, but over-conscious about the attack, sweet concentration of fighting and defense. Simultaneously tap into the Magic Shockwave and crush each and every means of attack.

But... that's a mild move. I don't think we're fighting in the water. Is this what Marr said there was no disadvantage?

"I don't think it's a monkey on the ground! You monster!

A tail fin with a blade-like sharpness jumps. Turn around and free up the magic you put into Uroboros while avoiding it. As he slammed in the stick of condensed magic that swelled up on his spine, he leaked a distressed voice as he turned his body back.

Water - water. Wrap the unfolded condensation magic around your body and step on the scaffold with a shield - with the articulation of your entire body, unleashing the palm bottom of the magic.

"Blow it up."

Spiral shockwave. Magic gathered at one point transmitted through the water - shooting through the pigeon tail of a distant pigeon man and the impact burst. For a moment, the shock bent him to the letter of his body, but he lost the momentum of lateral rotation and threw his hands and feet out without hesitation.

Seems to have been cut out of consciousness in one blow or he's peeling his white eyes and tongue out. I have a life reaction. Well... I expected a lot of endurance during the offense, but it would be something like this.

Continue releasing the sealing technique. A wedge of light pierces a man's body - a chain of magic erupting from the inside binds him in a dozen ways.

I tried to push it through with the logic of power, so I can't complain. If you seal your muscles and then pack them, you'll be somewhat willing to talk.
