Chapter 1015 - 1015. Temporary City?

Name:Master of none Author:1King_Rep1
The open ocean seemed to stretch forever in a murky haze of blue. They had sunk down to the sandy bottom where the odd rock or two were. But the ocean floor appeared to be completely lacking in life. "This has to be this way because of the kraken spawns. There are [piles of broken shells and pieces of fish bone everywhere." Alma and Gil had moved to be near Walker. She was taking the help from Gil to swim along as she rested. 

"I agree. This is terrible. I don't want to think about what was lost before we knew about these things. Even the demons would have been eaten up by these evil kraken." The slight shake of Walker's head brought his attention to how some of the razor whip weed was wrapped around Alma's hands. "Are you going to keep using it to attack from here?" The idea didn't seem bad but Walker wasn't sure how it would work. 

"Yes. I have used my blue ivy as whips before. Since this basically acts like a whip in the tide it should work even better." The thought was easily proved as Alma flicked her wrist and the razor whip weed stiffened and shot out forward. The thin stalk easily cut through the water and the leaves would definitely cut up a foe. 

"Huh, that's even better than I thought. I might need to ask you to show me how to control plants one day. But for now, I need to keep up with everything else." It was easy for Walker to get hyper focused on a new skill or something he wanted to learn. But this was not the time and he was doing his best to keep on task. "I'm going to catch up to Leon and see what we are looking at for time. The kraken spawn seem to be few and far between here." This worry that there were so few of them made Walker believe that there would be more elsewhere. Most likely somewhere where there was more food. 

The blue wave patterned spear that Leon was wiping clean seemed to glimmer with blue energy. Walker could feel the water elemental mana heavily coated upon it. "I came to check up. How are we progress wise? Do you expect there to be more of the spawn ahead?" 

"Yes. There will be more. We are in a dead space right now between the bay and the reef. Once we get to the reef we will have to battle it out to defend the temporary city. From there we will have more forces with us." Leon was ha;f praying to the world that they found everyone alive and no kraken spawn. But he knew that he was better of praying for there to be as few injuries as possible. It was more realistic. "We should be seeing the coral in a moment or two." 

Just as Leon spoke Walker could make out the changing shapes in the ocean floor. There were no longer wavy flats of sand. Instead, large rocks started to be mixed in. Most were just cleared of anything but others had small colorful growths on them. Others even had some seaweeds and other plant life left. "Stay away from the punk seaweed. They have stingers on them." The merfolk spread out and began to educate everyone on what was dangerous here. It was a wise decision for those that were vulnerable to such things. 

' Pink stinger anemone 

This is a very dangerous plant that houses a small stinger in every single tendril it grows. The tendrils only affect certain fish and monsters. They have a very potent poison that paralyzes their prey and it is recommended not to make contact with them under any case. They are extremely hard to harvest but can be used for an underwater poison. The poison dies off as soon as it leaves saltwater.'

Walker's all around appraisal of the danger made him realize that the colors might be more of a warning than a pleasantry. This was easily a plant that could take him down permanently. Not to mention the fact that if it was sued as a poison for battle it could take down enemy after enemy with ease. Yet,. the risk was too great to harvest it. There was no justification that it would make anyone safer. 

"Walker. Look here." Su had found a way to use both of the twin shields to flap hard enough to push her up in to the higher water. This acted like her own fins in a way and helped her move forward. What she managed to see by doing this was a large coral and shell wall that curved in to a cracked and broken dome. 

"Halt! You are entering the limits of the merfolk city second trident. You may not progress without Sir Leon. Your father has been waiting." The guard was covered in blue and pink shelled as armor. He had stopped the entire progression with a stern voice not knowing if this was help or not for them. 

"Rest easy. This is the Genesis force. They are our allies from other kingdoms. Take me, and the other leaders here to my father." The party swam themselves behind Leon. Current floated down from the higher up waters with Ciel by his side, they were both in their dragonkin forms to allow themselves entrance in to the city. Scylla soon showed herself as well. These were the people that would be going with Leon. The dwarves chose to hold back since their forces were mostly golems and they were not here to build relations. They were here to protect and exterminate. 

"Leon, we are still behind you." Walker pushed for Leon to bring them in. The large cracked shell dome allowed them to swim up and in to a barely built city of coral and rock. The big picture did not appear to look like a place anyone should be living at all.
