Chapter 230 The Sea Gods Shrine

<World Announcement: Players Blossom, Maria and Rena were the first to reach the Sea Gods Shrine underwater dungeon>

The announcement appeared as soon as we reached the dungeon. I guess other people might be able to find this location now, since its quite unlikely that players would even try finding underwater dungeons without a method of breathing underwater for longer than a minute But with an announcement guaranteeing its existence, people might actually try searching properly.

Will we need to dive again? Blossom asked.

In front of us, there was a deteriorated altar of Krebskulm. And behind it, a hole filled with water.

And we probably wont be able to move together this time As Maria said that, she pointed to an inscription in the altar.

Do not waste the holy water. Do not disturb the sacred altar. I muttered as I read it.

Then, I looked at the water-filled hole, and noticed there was a small leeway there Enough to let one person dive into the hole without letting the water overflow.

So, if two or more of us go inside the hole at once, the water will overflow, which would waste the holy water and disturb the altar I guess its better to go one at a time then.

I think the chances of us being separate once we get underwater are high Blossom commented.

It wouldnt be strange if there are multiple paths underwater. I agreed.

I thought wed be able to play with all three of us Seriously, dont ruin it, KSO devs. Maria grumbled.

It is a pity that we cant act together, but at least we took a commemorative photo, so I suppose its fine.

Besides, this was probably Rons doing. He most likely doesnt want to fight Blossom and Maria.

Then Who goes first? I asked.

How about rock-paper-scissors to decide? Maria suggested.

Im fine with the brats suggestion. Blossom said.

Whos a brat!? Maria exclaimed.

Well, nobody seemed to be against it, so we played rock-paper-scissors And I lost right away.

A child like you should respect your elders! Maria exclaimed.

A shortie like you is no elder! Blossom replied.

Its a pity that I lost, but I suppose the order doesnt matter much Though Im unsure to why those two are so enthusiastic about this.

Size doesnt matter! Maria exclaimed.

Says the three-years-old shortie! Blossom replied.

When will they start? We cant decide on an order until one of them wins.

Stupid Queen! Maria exclaimed.

Disgusting Saintess! Blossom exclaimed.

I decided to check on my throwing weapons in the meantime. There wasnt anything wrong with them when I came here, but As soon as I took them out of the storage, they were displayed as unusable. I guess the sea damaged them too much.

Then, Maria and Blossom finally started playing. They got a draw a handful of times, and kept on exclaiming weird things as they played, but eventually

I cant believe I lost Maria grumbled.

You cant win in height nor in rock-paper-scissors. Blossom snickered.

You little Maria murmured.

Well, Ill go first then. Blossom stated.

Do your best. I told her.

Be careful out there Maria murmured.

Then, as Blossom dived into the hole, all the leeway it had disappeared, making it clear nobody else could dive.

About one minute later, the water level went down, Well, I guess its my turn then. Maria said.

Do your best. I told her too.

Then, she dived in, and the water level rose to the limit again Shes a bit shorter than Blossom though, so it shouldnt have raised as much I guess thats probably just because were in a game, so the water level rises by a fixed amount with each person that dives in it.

Then, after about one minute, the water level went down again I wonder if they both drowned, or if they reached a safe location in-time.

Well, there isnt much way of knowing, so I guess Ill go in too.

However, after I dived into the hole, the water level rose much more than before, making it overflow and hit the altar.

Of course, the old man is Ronoves father. He was probably aware that I fight with familiars helping me, so he must have taken some precautions, to make sure that the familiars too would count as a person when diving into the hole.

So, now that I broke the rules of the dungeon, what will happen? Will I be taken to a different location?

The a nearby crest of Krebskulm started shining Truly, what an interesting development. I wonder what Maria and Blossom are feeling right now Well, lets ask them later.

For now, I just waited for what would happen next, as the Krebskulm crest shone brighter and brighter, until suddenly, my vision was filled with darkness.
