Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 1250 - 1244: Waters

It turns out, Lilu's perception was not an illusion.

Half an hour after Ronald continued flying forward with her, the ocean that Lilu mentioned actually appeared before them.

The land where the last giant stood marked the boundary, and the world ahead suddenly transformed into a realm occupied by water elements.

There was no land here, nor anything else.

Pure flowing water occupied every inch of the view, it was completely a world of water!

"..."

First there was a dry area, then a realm of mountains.

Now, with the emergence of a world entirely occupied by water, it wasn't too hard to accept.

But due to the curiosity in his heart.

Ronald began to use spells, probing along the boundary between the water flow and the ground, wanting to see what the state of the base here was.

The result…

The land rooted by mountains, at the boundary with the water flow, exhibited a perfectly straight cliff, with vertical lines closely adjoining the water flow, extending deep into the world beyond observation.

In other words, there wasn't a 'sea bottom' in the normal sense here.

Below the seawater is more seawater; this is a pure realm of only water, a manifestation of the world's rules.

In silence, Ronald led Lilu over the sea.

This time, Lilu's actions were quicker than her thoughts, she directly summoned magic power, waving her hand——

Splish splash——

A clear stream of water was summoned by Lilu out of thin air, floating on her hand.

And this time, as time kept moving forward, the stream of water on Lilu's hand showed no intention of disappearing.

This is a domain dominated by water elements.

So unlike the previous two places, as long as there's no accident, it can persist here for long.

"Ronald, look!" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"This is simply our merfolk's natural arena, there's no better place than this!"

Lilu appeared quite excited.

This was the first place since entering this world where she could use spells without limitations, not to mention her innate affinity for water elements as merfolk. Discovering this place is absolutely significant!

However, Ronald immediately poured cold water on Lilu's enthusiasm:

"Lilu, are merfolk a species that can sustain life by drinking just water?"

"Uh——" Lilu's brain hit a snag.

Looking at the beautiful, pure sea below, the purity here was consistent with previous instances — if there's one thing, then that's the only thing.

Therefore, the sea below consisted only of water, with no diverse marine life. If a mermaid were tossed here, they wouldn't survive for long.

Lilu's expression became a bit stiff, but she refused to abandon her conception:

"Then we can transform the environment here!"

"Although there's no stellar illumination, I think there might be plants that can carry out photosynthesis here. As long as we suitably introduce species, turning this place into a habitable space should be feasible."

"..."

Ronald shrugged.

If the merfolk tribe truly possessed such technology, then they could do whatever they wanted.

"In any case, let's proceed forward."

"Based on the last guidance of the Blood-Spotted Winged Butterfly, I believe our target is nearby."

Ronald manipulated spells to explore with Lilu over the sea.

Although they had left the area where the giants were present, they hadn't reduced their flying height too much. After all, no one could guarantee whether the seawater here contained entities similar to giants.

But it seemed more speculation wasn't needed.

During the process of adjusting altitude, Lilu, whose perception of water elements was extremely acute, noticed changes below:

"Ronald, below!"

"The seawater is changing below!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Ronald came to a sudden halt, and the two suspended in mid-air.

He carefully looked towards the water beneath—at this altitude looking down, indeed he could see ripples on the water.

This water area was so tranquil that not even a wisp of breeze existed.

The changes appearing now likely weren't coincidental.

Lilu, watching Ronald expectantly, after waiting a few seconds, couldn't help but actively seek Ronald's opinion:

"How about it, should we go down to check, or dodge like with the giants?"

Ronald contemplated seriously for a moment before finally making a decision:

"Let's go down and check."

Lilu was somewhat surprised at Ronald's decision:

"What? Aren't you worried the owner here might, like the giants before, clear away intruders?"

Ronald revealed his analysis:

"Those giants created from mountains fully inherited the profound, solid elements of earth, reflecting such characteristics in their behavior."

"So let's boldly hypothesize—what if the situation is similar on this water side?"

As an aquatic species, how could Lilu be unaware of the nature of water elements.

Thus, the moment Ronald spoke, Lilu's face showed a complex smile imbued with deep emotions:

"Water is the thing hardest to fathom; it has the gentleness to nurture all and the ferocity to destroy everything."

"Ronald, this really is a gamble, isn't it?"

"If it displays its ferocious side now, the surface wouldn't just see ripples." Ronald gestured to the sea below before starting to lower their altitude, "We cannot incessantly proceed this way; we should try contacting down there."

This time, Lilu did not oppose Ronald's decision.

With the help of spells, the two steadily descended, taking several minutes before reaching close to the sea surface.

Things here appeared much like what they saw from high above.

Layer upon layer of ripples gently spread on the sea's surface, and at intervals, a ripple's starting point could be seen. Raising one's view gives the sense that unseen raindrops were falling here, creating this beautiful scene.

However, what Ronald didn't expect was that upon reaching this position, Lilu instead spoke with some sadness:

"Ronald, I can sense something is coalescing, right at the centers of these ripples."

"But the water element magic power near the sea is too concentrated, I... I can't discern the details."

Ronald immediately offered comfort:

"Lilu, you're much better in this compared to me."

"Apart from fixed information collected through spells, solely by perceptive ability, I cannot perceive information here at all."

Lilu discerned Ronald's meaning, and gave him a slight smile.

But at that moment, from the ripple centers on the surrounding sea, pure water globes began ascending.

Seeing this sight, both Ronald and Lilu were clear—this was the master of the water realm.

But unlike the giants, they didn't speak to expel the intruders.

Instead, they began conversing in a gentle tone:

"Ah, guests from afar."

"How interesting, their bodies still have that complex, outdated structure, it must be very uncomfortable?"

"..."
