Erii: A Journey Through the Heavens Begins with Frilian

As the whale demons moved away, the illusion magic dissipated, and the crew members lying haphazardly on the deck woke up in a daze.

After quickly grasping the situation, Mark turned pale with fright, and even the lively and cheerful Lina changed her expression.

"There are two things we fear most when sailing: one is a storm, and the other is these monsters, especially a group of five of them," she said, her face pale.

"I've only heard their legends, I never thought I'd actually run into them. Sis, can't we go back?" Mark was already in a daze.

"The captain hasn't given up, we can't just stand by and watch," Lina said decisively. "Attach the harpoon, everyone, don't just stand there!"

Her shout snapped everyone out of their daze, and they immediately got to work.

Meanwhile, Berg had already steered the fishing boat around and sped away as fast as he could to escape.

wow——

The whale horde surged up from the seabed, turned tail and head, and charged toward the fishing boat at full speed.

Its speed exceeded the full force of the fishing boat, and its power could be felt from the high-flying waves.

If they collide, the fishing boats have absolutely no chance of survival.

Erii pondered for a moment, then took off her camera, untied the rope of the small wooden boat, and jumped in herself.

Hearing the commotion, Lina and the others froze for a moment. After looking around, they saw Erii sitting on a small boat, rowing with a famous oar, heading towards the menacing whale demon horde.

"Eri-san! Come back quickly!"

Seeing this, even the shy Mark got anxious and yelled at the top of his lungs.

"What is she up to?"

"Are you crazy?!"

"Captain, what do we do?"

Faced with a cacophony of opinions, Berger found himself in a dilemma.

After all, it was Erii who saved them; otherwise, everyone would have perished in her gaping maw.

But what can he do?

"What if she has a way?" Lina murmured.

Everyone looked at the whale demons, which were over twenty meters long and had heads covered in sharp teeth, and then at Erii's delicate back as she walked leisurely. They really couldn't imagine what kind of solution she could have.

"She's a magician, isn't she?" Lina asked, not entirely confidently.

"Even magicians... Don't forget there are so many red-eyed silver fish. If Miss Erii falls into the water, she will be devoured to the bone in an instant!" Mark said in a low voice, tears streaming down his face.

"Withdraw! No matter what, we cannot betray Erii's will!" Captain Berg gave the order, his face twitching wildly, his eyes also wet with tears.

……

"I want to see good whales, not ugly, man-eating monsters like you."

Erii turned her head away, making sure the fishing boat was getting further and further away, and pouted as she complained.

Rumble!

The deafening roar of the waves crashing against each other was like the metallic rumble of a heavy factory.

The surging waves rolled and churned, and her small boat bobbed up and down like a leaf, always on the verge of being swallowed by a turbulent wave.

"I don't like cloudy days." Erii ignored the giant object hundreds of meters away, tilting her head back and humming a nursery rhyme.

She dipped her right hand into the cold seawater and stirred it gently.

hum-

Expand your domain!

The gloomy sky suddenly shattered, and the edges of the crack gradually turned golden.

Invisible rules are laid out, and all things, above and below, obey the command!

As a beam of sunlight shone straight down, wisps of visible cold air rose from the sea surface.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

A crisp clanging sound rang out, and the churning seawater, centered on Erii, inexplicably froze and instantly became ice-cold.

The cold air spread, freezing everything in its path.

Erii slowly stood up.

Rumble rumble rumble!

As if obeying her command, the ice field beneath them rose up.

At this moment, the power of the Word of Judgment was applied to the vast ocean, transforming every drop of water and every cluster of ice into a scythe containing the rule of certain death.

Sometime later, the fishing boat quietly came to a stop.

Everyone on deck was completely silent, witnessing the miracle with awe and even a touch of piety.

"Isn't she a goddess descended to earth?" Lina said from the bottom of her heart.

Within their field of vision, Erii had already risen to a height of a thousand meters, with a breathtaking ice cross spear right beneath her feet!

She stood proudly atop the gun handle, like a red-haired empress looking down upon the trembling monsters.

Under her almost tangible judgment, the monsters were already terrified and at a loss, not to mention the five whale demons that had poked their heads out were frozen in place and had no way to escape.

Erii had a sudden thought.

boom--

The Ice Cross Gun suddenly plummeted downwards.

The trial rules attached to it also flocked to the target.

bang——

The tip of the gun pierced the sea, and the entire gun plunged into the vast ocean.

Puff puff puff puff puff!

In an instant, an invisible blade sliced ​​through the water, turning the sea crimson and killing tens of thousands of red-eyed silver fish within seconds.

As for the whale demon horde, it too was torn apart amidst its wailing cries, turning into a bloody pulp.

With a "plop," Erii also plunged into the chaotic seabed.

Two small black dots are approaching on the distant horizon.

"Ms. Frilian, what did I just see?" Philon's eyes widened like saucers, and she almost forgot to maintain her flight magic.

"How terrifying," Frillian said, seemingly calm, but her eyebrows were raised high. "If I were the target, I would die."

"The danger wasn't the iceberg, but something that sent chills down my spine. I couldn't sense it, but..." Philon was a little incoherent, unsure how to describe it.

Frillie glanced at the fishing boat not far away. "Eri is a good girl."

The two stopped talking and flew over with all their might.

They lowered their altitude and searched for Erii's whereabouts close to the sea surface.

"Could it be?" Philon frowned slightly.

wow~

Just as she was starting to think the worst, the sound of water breaking came from behind her.

Then they saw Erii holding a large treasure chest, her legs kicking as she floated to the surface, her face beaming with the joy of finding something unexpected.

She said to the two of them, "It was found inside a monster's belly, so it shouldn't be a mimicry."

"You," Philon said, both amused and exasperated, "never mind, it's good that you're alright."

……

On the fishing boat.

It was only after Philen recounted that we learned that the last fishing boat to set sail had discovered the secretions left behind by the mating of the Netherworld Whale Demons at sea.

Sensing something was wrong, the crew immediately turned back and informed the village chief and others, announcing that all boats were not allowed to leave the shore.

It just so happened that Frilian and Philon were also there. Upon learning of this, they set off immediately, speeding along the trail left by the whale demon horde.

After this incident, Lina and the others almost started treating Erii like their second parents.

Many people immediately knelt down to pay their respects in gratitude, overwhelmed with joy at surviving the ordeal, and they all offered her the best food and drink.

"roar--"

Suddenly, a melodious and ethereal voice came from behind.

Almost instinctively, everyone shuddered, and their faces involuntarily turned grim.

"It's not a monster," Frilian flew into the air and smiled at Erii, "It's what you wanted to see."

Upon hearing this, Erii excitedly ran to the bow of the ship to gaze into the distance.

Sha—

Under a bright, azure sky, a jet of water shot into the air, leaving a trail of flowing rainbow.

A huge blue whale surfaced, rolling around and exposing its belly. As if sensing everyone's goodwill, it slowly approached the fishing boat, its large eyes calmly looking at Erii.

Click!

Erii pulled out her camera as if drawing a gun, and snapped a perfect shot, framing the blue whale with Frilian and Philon in mid-air.
