Rebirth Of Abium

Aliza sat motionlessly on a two-meter rowboat while gazing at the twelve-meter large shark which was roaming under that rowboat. She wore a black linen shirt, finely pleated brown skirt, reversible sky blue silk hood, and holds a transparent mask-like material.

Splash!

Suddenly, she saw that shark moved towards upward with its red eyes and stared at her. Aliza slowly shifted her eyes towards inside the rowboat and sighed helplessly.

Its been almost a week, but she couldn"t be even able to find any land, nor did she came across any ships. Moreover, she was barely holding against all the constant storms, waves, and the predatory fishes attack. But what made her relief was, the wound on her foot was almost healed, and only a scar was left behind. Even she was startled by that rapid healing.

"If it"s going to be like this, I will die here alone in this sea." She shouted in a grief tone and slowly noticed dark clouds starting to gather up once again in the sky. Aliza"s face grew deadly pale as she saw this! Because yesterday, she almost got her killed by the crash of waves if not for this shark"s protection.

As she was in deep thought, a large gray ma.s.s floating on the sea"s surface a few miles away caught her attention.

Hm? What is that? An island? Aliza furrowed her thick eyebrows and quickly ordered the Shark to move closer towards that ma.s.s. That shark began to pull that boat along with her towards that floating ma.s.s. As she moved closer towards that island-like ma.s.s, a shocking expression appeared on her face!

That ma.s.s was a huge ma.s.s of pumice rocks; some of them were as big as a large boat. It floated on the surface like flying carpets and spread for many sq miles.

Pumice rocks? She became more puzzled. Soon, a large bubble appeared from under the depth of the sea and attracted her attention. Followed by multiple bubbles followed while she started to smell the disgusting stench of the unknown gas.

She instantly knew something was happening in the underwater and quickly thought of moving away from that place. But soon, she felt another energy came from the underwater.

Elemental energy? She startled inside. Well, sensing a high amount of elemental energy deep in the ocean was entirely out of the ordinary that caused her to hesitate a little. Aliza took a deep breath and resolved herself to dive deep into the sea. She had already faced so many hardships. So it was not much of a problem for her to check what"s hiding inside.

Moreover, I have a new pet to protect me.

"Come on, Zethis! I need your help once again." She spoke out loud, and soon a shark head moved popped out from inside the sea, and she quickly dived into the sea. She got bored in the past few days and even named this shark. She also worries about the dark clouds up in the sky, but that didn"t stop her from exploring deep inside the sea.

On her face was covered with a mask-like transparent object. It was an object she took from a floating corpse of a blue humanoid creature and discovered it was some type of object useful for breathing underwater. But what made her surprised even more was, it was not an artifact as that mask didn"t have any runes engraved on it. Aliza moved her hand towards her lower chin and noticed gills appeared on her face.

Cool! Her eyes sparkled.

With a splash, Aliza fearlessly dived into the sea and grabbed that shark"s fin.

She breathed out a sigh of relief and signaled that shark to dive deeper into the blue sea. Unlike the previous time, Aliza calmly starting to breathe the fresh air using that object and observed the surroundings more clearly. Many marine fishes came towards her direction but soon scattered away as they noticed twelve-meter long Zethis"s presence.

Like a hunter of the seas, Zethis moved deep into the seawater while scaring the other marine fishes to move away from their way. Aliza made a surprise nod and watching all those marines creatures with a proud smile on her face.

There were many dragon fishes with fang-toothed jaws, scarlet bodied vampire squids, goblin sharks with an elongated snout, and needle-like teeth appeared on her sights. But when facing those primitive predatory creatures, she wasn"t felt afraid. Instead, she looked at them with more interest and started searching for a new slave. In the past few days, She also found out now that she could be able to enslave three living creature at a time.

I can still feel Rudie through this spell, but to find his exact location, I need to increase my spirit. Aliza"s thought to herself.

But now he is still alive means he killed Keith. As she thought of that, her lips starting to go upwards.

I will kill those pirates and that fatty once I went back to the land. She clenched her fist and made a resolve.

Soon, she shifted her gaze towards below and suddenly noticed something odd.

How can I able to see the seawater clearly? She knitted her eyebrows in confusion.

It must be due to this mask. Aliza nodded at that thought, and slowly starting to notice the water pressure around her becomes heavy.

I wouldn"t be able to dive deeper if the pressure got increasing. Aliza knew diving deeper into 1000 feet depth would crush her body due to the pressure.

d.a.m.n! It is the limit. As she was about to give up and return to the surface, her eyes caught something like a sky blue layer beneath her. It was like a cylindrical tube-like layer that radiating dim light everywhere.

The elemental energy is coming from that cylindrical tube-like structure. Like I will let myself die by simple water pressure. Aliza muttered under her breath and quickly ordered Zethis to move towards that blue cylindrical layer. This time, immersive pressure stuck all over her body, and finally, as Aliza about to lose focus, she reached that sky blue transparent cylindrical layer.

Cough!

Suddenly, that heavy water pressure instantly started to disappeared and finally let out a sigh of relief. After calmed herself down, Azolla"s black eyes soon noticed Zethis was still staying outside.

"Come on, Zethis. Why are you afraid of this blue transparent layer?" She asked and soon started to frown. As she looks closer around that large blue cylindrical layer, she finally noticed a difference.

There is not even a single fish inside! She blinked rapidly, and soon, her eyes widened in surprise. Also, she noticed that the cylindrical transparent blue layer was only around a few hundred-meter diameters, and it connects towards the deep ocean.

It seems all the marine creatures feared of this layer.

After pondering for a bit, she made up her mind and commanded Zethis to stay outer to guard and starting to move deeper to the twilight zone.

Where is this cylindrical tunnel leading? Is it directly connected to someplace? She squinted her eyes and frowned.

Due to the lack of water pressure and no predatory marine creatures in that cylindrical layer, she managed to move leisurely into the water.

Moreover, due to that dim blue light, her vision was also not blocked and could see more clearly. She also saw some large strange sea creatures that were roaming outside that cylindrical layer and shivered.

These creatures" sizes almost look like the same as Zethis! She glanced at those creatures with a stunned expression and slowly went deeper.

From time to time, she would see one or two deep-sea creatures, but soon, she got used to it.

After a long time of swimming deep into the sea, finally, she managed to see the bottom.

Is it land? Aliza"s eyes flickered in that dim light.

Soon, she slowly arrived at the bottom layer, which was entirely surrounded by rocky areas. But what made her expression stiffened up was, she saw a statue at the center of that cylindrical layer.

Moreover, she was very familiar with that statue, which caused her face to turn grim.

Why the h.e.l.l Mother G.o.ddess statue is here? She peered at that average slim woman"s statue with vigilant expression and slowly walked closer. She could see a concrete floor surrounding that statue and felt more confused.

Who built this statue here? Why? She couldn"t even be able to guess the reason.

I don"t know what purpose is, but I have a feeling it is not a simple statue. Moreover, here is deep-sea, not the mainland. Aliza soon arrived in front of that five feet tall metal statue and started to observe Mother G.o.ddess"s statue.

Even though that statue was still inside the deep water, not a single scratch could be seen on that statue. Aliza also saw some runic letters were engraved on the rocky floor and frowned. As she was about to check the surrounding areas, something caught her attention at the head of that statue.

What is that?

It was a thumb-sized blue crystal. Aliza noticed that crystal was directly attached to the forehead of that mother G.o.ddess"s statue. Slowly she raised her right hand and tried to take out that crystal.

Rumble!

As she touched that crystal, suddenly, Aliza felt a rumbling sound from below and soon saw the rune letters started to shine.

s.h.i.t! Did I activate a runic magic circle? She was stunned for a second and quickly snapped out of it. But soon, her expression went death pale when she noticed she couldn"t be able to move from that runic magic circle on the floor.

Spark! Buzz!

With a slight vibration, Aliza felt a suction force from that magic circle, and soon, her head became dizzy as the runic letters starting to glitter brighter. Next second, she felt her vision become turn blurry and got panicked inside.

Thud!

The next instant, Aliza felt her breath became harder and soon fall on the floor.

Hmm? Air?! Slowly, she opened her black eyes and glanced around her surroundings while removing that mask.

Where am I? Now I should be in the deep-sea, right? How come I"m able to breathe normally? Countless questions started to appear inside her mind as she stood up on the white concrete floor.

Aliza soon found herself inside some building corridor, and on both of her sides were multiple circular pillars arranged in lines and seems to be holding it together. The light-emitting from the crystals embedded in all those pillars inside made her see clearly everywhere.

All those pillars were painted in blue color and gave a unique beauty. Aliza also noticed at the end of that corridor, there was a black metallic door around 4 meters tall and 2 meters wide stood firmly. And at the front of that door were two human-like statues with wings and seemed to be in kneeling position while holding spears.

Angels! She instantly identified those statues and was perplexed inside.

Why would be an angel statue be here? Where the h.e.l.l am I now? Did I somehow teleport to some church"s secret chamber? That simple thought made her body to become numb. She felt both fears of the unknown and, at the same time, curious.

First, I want to know where I am. Aliza glanced back to see what was behind her and stopped. She saw a white wall and had murals paintings of sea creatures and humans. It made her legs to move near to that wall subconsciously. In that five-meter tall white wall, she saw the humans were killing all those sea humanoid creatures and seemed to burn them.

She was disgusted by the humans" act and clenched her fist tighter in hatred. Soon another creature"s face that almost looks like humans caught her attention. That small creature had a lower body of fish and appeared to be five to ten years of age. But what made Aliza hold her breath was, child"s teeth almost looked to shark jaws. Four angels flew from the sky and started to attack that child using many spells, swords, spears. Finally, they managed to capture that child and pierced that child"s heart using some type of black rod.

The simple picture gave Aliza"s lips to tremble!

From the description of the mural painting, they mentioned that the child was pure evil, and they imprisoned behind that black metallic door.

b.a.s.t.a.r.ds! They didn"t even let a small pitiful child live happily. She cursed at those light believers in her heart and soon shifted her gaze towards that metallic door.

The corridor under her feet was more than two times the width of an ordinary street in any small town, wide enough to allow four or five carriages to gallop in parallel.

Without any fear in her heart, Aliza advanced and soon arrived in front of that metal door and those two-meter tall angels.

Hm? It"s not locked. She was surprised a little, and soon, she pushed the door with full strength.

Screech!

It slowly opened with a loud noise and noticed it was completely dark inside, unlike the outer corridor. Aliza took a step inside to that shaded area and slowly went forward. The only sound that echoed inside were those water droplets falling from her wet black hairs and her quiet footsteps.

But suddenly, a growling sound came from that darkness caused her footstep to halt.

What was that?

Surprisingly her black eyes soon adjusted to that darkness, and finally, she saw multiple prison-like cells appeared on her both sides. Like a cat, her each footstep became slower, and Aliza observed every cell. With some courage, she shifted her gaze towards the nearby prison cell where that sound came from. Soon she noticed a small figure laid inside that figure and walked closer.

Hm? Is that child I saw in the painting? Her eyes widened in surprise. That child was around five years old and laid motionlessly inside that prison floor. She had the same wide shark-like jaws, blue skin, long sky blue hair, and wore simple cloth that barely covered her important body parts.

As Aliza took a closer look at that girl, her expression froze. She saw the mask-like object she had picked up on the corpse in the surface water a few days earlier was scattered on the floor. Moreover, Aliza saw a sharp black rod directly penetrated towards that girl"s chest and pinning her onto the white floor.

Humans really are cruel. She sighed with a pitying look on her face. As Aliza was about to take a step back and move to the next cell, that small girl"s fingers started to twitch.

How is she still alive?! Is that even possible? Aliza was almost shouted in surprise and took two steps closer towards that prison cell.

"W-Water. T-Thirsty." Aliza barely could able to hear what that girl spoke and wondered about what to do with this situation. She didn"t even feel something was wrong when that child spoke in a common language.

Should I help her? Her eyes wandered towards that girl"s bony figure and worried inside. She thought of what would be like when someone imprisoned her under the deep sea. Without knowing her, Aliza"s legs moved near to that prison to help that girl.
