The boat sailed without much difficulty as the dragon scales did their purpose. There have been sightings of sea monsters, but those monsters run away upon entering a fifty-meter radius of the boat. The ride is comfortable except for those who have sea sickness.
"Blegh!" Kabrakan exclaimed as he emptied out his stomach upon the sea.
"Let him be. I should warn all of you about the dangers that we will be encountering in the Sea of Monsters." Peridot stated.
"Sea of Monsters?" Levin Cloud exclaimed.
"It is an infamous term used to describe a certain part of the world's waters that are basically crawling with sea monsters. It is also infamous for being the real wall that separates the merfolk kingdom and the Scylla kingdom." Adrian stated.
"So…when are we going to go to the northern continent? This might be a good time." Levin Cloud interjected as even he is not confident of protecting the team in a literal sea of monsters.
"Oh! I actually should inform you guys that the Nymph Queen hates me." Adrian suddenly announced which made the three looks at him with disbelief.
"You should have told us that before you accepted the request of looking for the freaking item in the sea!" The three of them simultaneously shouted as nymphs are basically the described as faeries of the sea but they are not from the Fae.
Nymphs are also Master of Water elemental magic so fighting them in water is basically suicide. Adrian is not helping himself by being in water. Although the nymphs generally gather in the west part of the world, they are also spread out in all oceans or seas. There is a high chance that the group might encounter them.
The boat finally reached open sea as no land can be seen. They travelled for about five hours until day became night. A few moments later, mist started to roll out that slightly reduced vision, but the boat could still traverse its intended location. There is currently a pathfinder employed on the boat which is why they will never go off the intended route.
The passengers were told to go into their cabins if the mist turns into fog in order to ensure their safety. Just as the passengers are about to enter below the deck to their cabins, a hymn could be heard being hum by a melodic choir. The hymn soon turned into a beautiful song which suddenly made the captain sound the alarms.
"Sirens!" The captain of the ship shouted as priests that have musical instruments as weapons suddenly played music to counter the singing.
[You have resisted the Siren's Alluring Song due to the Hymn of Disruption from a member of the Church of Music.]
Notifications that reminded them that they are attacked popped up but is countered by the priests with musical instruments. Bards of different Music Gods started playing melodies that countered the singing of the sirens. It seems that they are regularly commissioned just in case Sirens suddenly attack the boat.
"Since the Sirens are here, it means that this will be the spot where we go out of the boat." Peridot stated as the famous saying for the start of the Sea of Monsters is the beautiful song of the Sirens.
The song might be beautiful to listen to, but it will lead those that are enamored to death. Sirens use their beautiful and captivating voices in order to lure sailors to their deaths. Their voice will charm the sailors and will force them to go overboard. The sirens would then catch the overboard sailors in order to feast on their flesh.
The sirens are monsters that are vastly different in Pandemonium or what is presented in popular culture. Sirens in popular culture are often depicted as mermaids but they look different in Pandemonium. Sirens have the head of a beautiful female while having the body of a bird.
They would then be able to transform into human bodies if they have eaten enough human flesh. The beautiful female heads of Sirens are also just a result of their polymorph as their real appearances show when they are feasting. The real visual of the head of a siren would be a monstrous large mouth wit rows of teeth as its head opens out like a flower blooming.
"Are you serious? We will get charmed if we leave the vicinity of this boat." Levin Cloud grumbled as he knew what sirens are like from the unfortunate fates of some players.
"Greater Summon: Charon!" Adrian stated as the Lifeless Lord materialized.
"Could you please strangle the infuriating birds, Charon." Adrian commanded.
Charon gave a slight bow as its body dematerialized because it blended with the mist. A few minutes later, the beautiful songs turned into hoarse cries of pain. Since the mist rolled, they are not able to see far which is why Peridot used Tempest to blow away the mist.
About ten Sirens are currently bound by chains around their necks. The song of the sirens stopped and the bards that countered their melody also stopped. Charon could be seen to have taken a few hits, but Sirens are naturally not great fighters due to their powerful alluring voice.
Charon is the perfect way to counter them because undead do not get charmed. Charon looked at Adrian's direction and wanted to see the if it did well. The crew got shocked upon seeing an undead strangle ten Sirens. Peridot then summoned Moksha for Levin Cloud and Kabrakan to ride while Adrian and her flew.
With the alluring voice of the Sirens neutralized, the group bid farewell to the captain as this was their stop. They also killed the ten sirens that Charon managed to capture. Only the figure of them leaving the crew stunned could be seen while the players recorded the whole phenomenon.
It would soon cause a buzz as the undead summon by the player is well-known to be that of the demon player. They wanted to know why their group is heading towards the Sea of Monsters.
