Sam got three liters of water that was inside the spatial rings of his victims. After calling for another two squads, he stayed there for the time being to see if there is any abnormality in the bamboo forest like the lake.
But there is nothing like that. He spent the night inside the divine dimension once again finishing the design for Sandra.
After the squads arrived and once again telling Chatur to ignore the messages from the six commanders and other special commanders who are also pissed by Sam’s actions as he is stealing their limelight, they once again started their journey.
He didn’t really care about the commanders, they will talk and talk about all the glory and credits and all the honor they will get. But all he cares about is finishing the task and deal with the task and go back to his home planet.
He has to bring his friends out of that place and show them the world. It is boring for him in the Naga Loka, they could have clearly made it a lot easier and a lot more entertaining.
After another two hours, he finally arrived back at Sandra’s castle. They once again visited her and then all three of them set out on Sky.
"What kind of bird is it? It is so fast." Sandra asked as she felt the shining feathers on Sky.
But Sam didn’t reply, he could feel that Sky is so proud of his mental connection and instead started speaking to him so that he wouldn’t get cocky.
At this moment, they are going to the Origin Castle, the castle that has portals to different planets.
Sandra led them to the room that has the portal that leads to the Merman Planet, but before they entered she said.
"The entrance is an underwater cave. Even though there is an air gap inside the cave and you can stay there, we have some preparations made just for you. But you would have to wait here for some time, I will go in and come back after making sure everything is ready."
"You don’t have to worry about that," Sam replied and took out two breathing devices and gave one of them to Chatur before saying.
"Turn to your human form. It would be hard for you to wear this in this form. And don’t try to talk, it is mostly useless."
Chatur nodded and turned himself. When Sam saw his human form, he was stunned. Because he looked like a dorky nerd that everyone wants to push around in the classroom.
He didn’t expect someone would even come to the Union dimension. He didn’t think much and started wearing the device.
This is a newly modified device. He made the modifications in the divine dimension the previous time after the second resource point was captured. He made sure so that he can communicate underwater. He just removed the small pipe that connects his mouth to another space jade that collects his exhaled air and created a small cavity.
This has a one-way outlet that would let the air out. And as for talking with this, a normal voice wouldn’t be loud enough to transmit his words in the deep sea. But with his spiritual energy and his elemental affinity with the water can make him reach the message.
Sandra is looking at them with confusion, even chatur doesn’t know what this is, but he still wore it and all three of them entered that door and reappeared in an underwater cave.
There really is an air gap in that cave, but the water is still knee-deep.
The three of them swimming. Sandra has changed into her original form. The legs joined together to form a mermaid’s tail and the fins on her elbows expanded a bit. The gills on her neck open. Google seaʀᴄh N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.nᴇt
As for Sam, he is using the water elemental energy to move. He looked at Chatur, who seemed to be having no trouble. He used his eye technique and noticed that guy is also using water elements. He raised an eyebrow as he didn’t ask for what kind of abilities the other party has.
He scolded himself in his mind for being too lax and swam after the mermaid.
There are some Mermen and Water Serpent Nagas staying guard. They crossed them over as Sandra said something to them as she brought them over.
"We will go to my home first, it is not far and we will be there in a few hours. We will go to the demonstration after that."
Sandra’s voice could be heard in their ears and Sam is stunned because he could see her lips are not moving at all. It is definitely not a technique that directly sends messages to his mind. He is sure about that at least.
Sam used his own technique to voice his answer as they swam together and after some time, Sandra gestured them to halt and a large seahorse appeared from the depths of the ocean. On the sea horse, there is a man standing. He is a Merman. But his hair is in light yellow color while he didn’t activate his merman form.
Only his gills are open. His tail is not. He is standing in his human form.
"Lady Sandra, are these guests you talked about?" The man’s voice rung in their ears and the tone of the words is extremely polite.
"Uncle Khaal. You are here." Sandra spoke in a cheerful tone and said to Sam and Chatur.
"He is my uncle and he is also my guardian. Let’s go, we can move faster on the Emerald Sea Horse."
As she spoke she swam towards the Sea horse and changed into her human form as he stood on its head.
Sam and Chatur followed and greeted the man.
"Hold tight. We are going at full speed."
With that, all they could see is the flash of blue all around them and some colors in between. They couldn’t picture anything that was around them.
Within an hour and a half, they actually reached the destination.
Sam had an urge to throw up. But he tried his best to suppress it. And Chatur is trying his best to hold back.
His face is hidden behind the breathing device, so no one could see his expression.
Sam looked at the magnificent underwater city in front of him. There is a large dome devoid of water and there are a lot of tall buildings. The buildings are mostly designed after the shapes of the seashells. They looked different and artistic.
The sea horse and Khaal remained outside and three of them swam towards the seabed beside the dome.
There is a small underwater stream that is leading them under the dome. There are some mermen staying guard and when they saw Sandra they saluted her and let them in.
They followed the stream and let it carry them inside. After some turns, they reached a surface.
It is like a subway station, but instead of a track, there is a stream.
They used the steps to climb the bank, took off the breathing devices, and started walking.
Nobody seemed to care about their wet bodies.
The city really is magnificent and Sam is really impressed by the artistic way they built it.
Everyone greeted Sandra respectfully.
The city has a lot of Mermen and Fishmen. The Fishmen are mostly in small positions like attendants or shopkeepers. They walked for a while before reaching the Palace which is the core of the city.
Sandra introduced every place related to this and before they could go to the Palace, she took them to another street.
"We build the city near an undersea Volcano. We use the heat to for many purposes and some masters worked well enough to use that Lava for the fire element usage.
Mermen will be born with the innate water ability and they do have tougher bodies than humans. But some of them will be born with an extra element and fire element is also not an exception. But improving in it is not easy, so we build the cities near the undersea volcanoes."
Sam nodded in understanding. The street has some metallic works and some weapons shops. Most of the stores are owned by Mermen because Fishmen doesn’t have any other affinities other than water. But they also have strong bodies even though they don’t have any warrior constitutions.
After checking the street out and admiring the craft of the mermen, they finally arrived at the palace.
Sandra led them to meet someone who has an uncanny resemblance to her and is Pre-transcendent stage cultivation.
"He is my brother Sagar." Sandra introduced him before saying.
"Sagar, he is Sam and his assistant Chatur."
"I heard a lot about you. I and Yodha are acquainted. He brags a lot about how great the wine you give them is and how much he is earning from your partnership and how good you are at everything you do."
"I don’t know he can brag. I only know he can drink."
"He can brag alright. It is not that far away from his drinking capacity. Now, Shall we talk about the design you worked on? I would really like to see what you came up with."
