"I can feel it even more! It is down there!" The baby angel Raphael stated as he pointed towards the depths of the ocean floor where everything was pitch black.
"Should we light the way?" Ark asked since they were basically travelling in darkness a few minutes ago.
"No. That will only attract monsters that were wary of us earlier. Light in this place means you are a target or a predator dangling fake prey." Altum stated as the depths of the oceans or seas are unforgiving. He already has his fare share of being eaten by a gigantic ocean or sea monsters and he will not be doing that again.
"Make sure to hold on tight to Kanlaon for now. The baby is basically pointing to a large chasm which means that it might be a separate world upon entering there." Adrian stated as he could still see clearly even in the dark.
Fortunately, they did not encounter any monster when they reached the bottom of the ocean. Adrian had to ask Kanlaon to shrink even further as the chasm was only big on the outside, but the actual hole was smaller. Seeing that everyone has already prepared themselves, Altum took the lead with the others following him.
As soon as they entered the chasm, a powerful torrent of water suddenly pushed them from behind which accelerated their descent. Even Altum could not go against the currents as all of them were swept away for a good twenty minutes. They were then ejected from what looks like a tunnel system and arrived at an unfamiliar place even for Altum.
[You have arrived at the Under Depths.]
The place they were ejected to is just like the ocean but there was a layer of bedrock on top of them that acts as a ceiling. The surroundings also became different as the dreary looking ocean floor suddenly turned colorful and bright. There were corals that they have never seen before that glowed in different colored light. There are even gems and shells that gave off a glow which made the entire place incredibly well lit.
"It is as if we are on the surface because of how bright it is." Ark stated as he would have been deceived if he could not see the bedrock on top of their heads.
"To think that the Under Depths were real!" Altum stated in excitement.
"What is the Under Depths?" Ark asked.
"It is a place that is told by the old Deep Ones that is said to be a paradise for beings that thrive at the very depths. A mystical place that is an ocean beneath the ocean! To think that everything was real and not made up, but does this mean that the core of the world is made of water? Also, where was this earlier on? I tried searching for it, but I could not find an entrance." Altum stated as he suddenly pondered but then looked at Adrian for an answer.
"It might be due to the fact that the world expanded. The Under Depths might not have existed when the world itself was small. It might have only been exposed when the world was returning back to its original state. After all, players that could freely traverse the depths of the oceans and seas are few." Adrian stated and even Altum agreed with that reason.
All of them explored the Under Depths with caution but Altum could be seen extremely excited. Even Lilith looked mesmerized by the things around her as her stoic demeanor softened and looked childlike. The baby angel Raphael told them that he could feel his powers in this place as if it was all over. Since their powers would often need to have a sigil to work, Adrian asked what the baby angel Raphael's sigil looked like.
The sigil of the Angel Raphael looked like many crosses with circles at the tips. This sigil invokes the power of healing and rejuvenation. They were all looking at the rocks around as there might be a chance that it is also a golem that got the sigil. Still, they scoured the area for half an hour, but they did not see the sigil. Thankfully, there were no monsters in the area, but Adrian felt that made him more anxious.
'Are you sure that it is here?" Ark asked.
"I am certain. You can even say that we are on top of it." The baby angel Raphael stated which suddenly made Adrian tell Kanlaon to swim to the top as fast possible.
The others did not know why but made sure to hold on tight to Kanlaon as the face that Adrian made was serious. They swam all the way to the top which meant that they could already touch the bedrock. Adrian then changed to his mirror demon form to get a better grasp of the area, and he was stunned that his thoughts were correct.
"Did you find something out, guild leader?" Altum asked.
"I realized it when the baby said that we are on top of it. This prompted me to take a better view of the area. To my surprise, we were really on top of it just like he said." Adrian stated as he pointed at the place that they were freely looking at.
Adrian pointed at the place, and they could finally see what he saw. The marks of the Sigil of Patience could be seen being illuminated. They were unable to view it earlier because they were standing on top of it as they thought those were just roads that lit up because of a special stone. To their surprise and horror, the 'roads' are actually the marks of the sigil itself which is why the baby angel Raphael told them that it could feel its power everywhere.
"Is that a golem? If it is then it is massive!" Ark stated.
"It is not a golem but a large jellyfish monster. A named Jellyfish monster to be exact." Adrian stated as he revealed the information he got.
