Chapter 92

Blue Whale Guild City, Hunter Guild.

A few days ago, Rosen purchased a Spirit Realm ticket through the guild interface for 1,000 Spirit Crystals.

【The Merman's Lament: The Spirit Realm】

[Level: Sequence 8]

[Synopsis: Once upon a time, a tribe of fishmen lived deep in the ocean. The Ashen Curse of the Other God, instead of wiping out humanity, inflicted devastating damage on the fishmen tribe living in the shallow seas. Driven to the brink of extinction, the fishmen decided to awaken the slumbering Frost Naga...]

Rosen was searching for the origin of the Frost Naga when he unexpectedly discovered this spiritual realm.

With a level of only Sequence 8, it's really not in line with the Naga's racial identity.

Rosen initially thought that the Fishman Elegy, like the Spiral Sea Battle, was a result of the overexploitation of the Spirit Realm's resources, leading to its downgrade.

The investigation revealed that this was not the case at all; the spiritual realm was originally Sequence 8.

Basically, all the spirit realms discovered by humans meet one of three fates.

The first outcome is the best: the spiritual realm is completely conquered and controlled, becoming the foundation of humanity's extraordinary sequence.

These spiritual realms are generally based on human stories, or at least they are not hostile to humans.

The second outcome is worse; it cannot be conquered or controlled. The only option is to continuously mine resources, weaken the foundation of the spirit realm, downgrade it, and ultimately destroy it completely. Basically, the background of such spirit realms is that they have a grudge against humans.

The gray ratmen of the Spiral Sea Battle and the fishmen of the Lament of the Fishmen are locked in a life-or-death struggle with humans.

The final outcome of the Spirit Realm is that it cannot be conquered or controlled, and even developing its resources is difficult.

Entering this spiritual realm is almost always a matter of life and death for those with extraordinary abilities.

Ultimately, this spiritual realm will not be downgraded due to resource extraction; on the contrary, it will be upgraded by depriving many extraordinary beings of their lives. This spiritual realm will either be destroyed or sealed by powerful humans, or it will continue to grow and eventually break out of the spiritual world and reintegrate into reality.

The Lament of the Merman is the second type of spiritual realm, and it is very close to the third type of spiritual realm.

Because the realm of Murloc Lament is extremely dangerous, the Frost Naga that were eventually awakened by the Murlocs, although only Sequence 8, numbered as many as one hundred, making it easy for them to defeat ordinary Sequence 8 transcendental beings.

Even the Blue Whale Kingdom could only wipe out a portion of the Frost Naga by assembling an elite force.

So the Blue Whale Kingdom has discovered this spiritual realm for decades, and to this day, it has not allowed this spiritual realm to fall from sequence 8 to sequence 9.

Because Murloc Lament is too dangerous, tickets are not sold to those Sequence 8 players who are not strong enough.

Rosen was able to buy tickets only because of his noble status.

People gradually entered the Hunter's Guild, and more than a third of them were nobles.

Finally, a hundred people arrived, and some of them, who knew each other well, had already gathered together, ready to advance or retreat together.

Unlike other spirit realms where one can roam alone, in the Fishman Elegy, if one doesn't band together, death is the only outcome.

Rosen opened the light screen interface in front of him and mentally clicked on the only friend he had added in his friend list.

The message was sent using thought, and a reply was received quickly.

"Lynn, over here..."

A gray-haired youth in the distance waved to Rosen.

"Hello, I am Lynn Wells, a pet hunter."

Rosen strode towards the gray-haired youth and introduced himself.

"Benny Nash, the gourmet..."

The gray-haired youth introduced himself, "Let me introduce you. This is the ghost assassin Thorin Sares, this is the plague doctor Emilia Rosa, this is the magic knight Heymans Rosa, and this is the wizard Ward Tehada."

Despite Benny's introduction, Rosen still felt a noticeable sense of alienation. This was understandable, though, as an outsider, he couldn't easily integrate into their group.

In fact, Benny wouldn't have issued the quest to find temporary teammates if their hunter hadn't died not long ago.

They should have made contact a few days earlier, but Benny's team encountered an unexpected situation that delayed them.

Benny could tell the atmosphere wasn't good, so he continued to introduce his team.

Benny, a gourmet and president of the Fox Spirit Society, is at least outwardly a warm and welcoming person.

Thorin, the ghostly assassin, is cold and aloof, wearing a half-face mask and never speaking except when nodding or shaking his head.

The Plague Doctor, Emilia, Benny's girlfriend, is a warm-hearted person.

Heymans, the Demon Knight, Emilia's older brother, appears to be a simple-minded, big guy.

Finally, the wizard Ward seems to be a little estranged from the other members of the team.

This wasn't the first time Benny's Fox Clan had entered the spirit realm of "Fishman's Lament."

The previous hunts had yielded considerable success, but the hunter died inside last time.

There are many hunters of Sequence 8 in the Blue Whale Kingdom, but few have the ability and the courage to enter the Murloc Elegy Spirit Realm.

Because any team that aspires to enter the Murloc Lament will generally start looking for teammates and working together from Sequence 9 onwards, it is quite difficult to find a hunter with the ability to enter the Murloc Lament in a hurry.

"It's time. We're ready to set off..."

After Benny, who had been talking eloquently, saw the water shimmering on the walls of the hall, he spoke solemnly.

Rosen also looked at the wall in the distance, where he saw a swirling vortex of water appearing on the wall, accompanied by the light of the water.

The Hunter's Guild staff immediately went to the vortex and directed the teams to enter in an orderly manner.

Basically, all teams are led by a nobleman, who then leads five to ten teammates from various ranks.

After passing through the spatial vortex, Rosen fell directly onto the air cushion floating on the sea surface.

All the stories in The Mermaid's Lament take place underwater, so there is no land for people to land on.

The air cushion that prevented Rosen from falling into the water was taken out of Benny's storage ring by Benny, who had entered a little earlier.

After landing on the air cushion, Rosen immediately grabbed the extraordinary artifacts he had prepared beforehand and began equipping them.

First, there's the underwater breathing mask, which can continuously extract oxygen from seawater.

Then there are the extraordinary deep-sea flippers worn on the feet, which greatly enhance a person's mobility in the deep sea.

The respirator also has built-in communication capabilities within a kilometer. After putting on the respirator, Rosen immediately called other team members to verify whether there was any problem with the respirator's communication capabilities. If there was any problem, it could be dealt with in a timely manner.

Once everyone was fully equipped, Benny gave the order to go into the water over the communication channel.

Rosen immediately took out a huge iron anchor from his storage ring, then threw the anchor into the water. He grabbed the chain and jumped into the sea, sinking rapidly with the anchor. In just a moment, he had sunk from the surface to the seabed.

Ultimately, humans are not aquatic beings, and not everyone with extraordinary abilities is skilled in underwater combat.

The reason this spiritual realm is so troublesome is largely due to the fact that the entire battle takes place underwater.

The Blue Whale Kingdom already has a mature solution for dealing with the fish-men in this spiritual realm.

That means starting by sinking directly to the bottom of the sea, then standing firmly on solid ground and fighting the murlocs.

After putting the anchor into his storage ring, Rosen tested it by stepping on the sand on the seabed; the impact wasn't significant.
