The eighteen mana roots were completely depleted, so there was no point in hanging around in this needle universe anymore. They could spend a bit more time here to mess with the giant fish, sure, but that was about all of the activities that they could do, there wasn’t anything else. Purpureus Mundi Aqus was otherwise really desolate, so desolate, that the team didn’t even understand how all the fish hadn't starved away already!This sea was barely a kilometer wide, so it shouldn't be able to support such huge fish, and yet that wasn't the case, there were plenty of them in the vicinity. This was very puzzling, sure enough, but they had to leave nonetheless, because they got more out of this place than they originally wanted. They were content, so they swam upwards as if they were satisfied girlfriends, even, their stride was rather jolly!At the surface, they met Gustav, and Tim was happy that the old lady didn’t attack his friend here. Although Gustav consumed less mana roots in com

“My god… it feels so nice to have these motherfucking stingray wings again. I bet I could swim more than 100 km/h with these bad boys, faster than any fish could ever swim!” He thought, and this train of thoughts was giving him a sort of euphoria, he felt as if he was in the clouds!The fact of the matter was that plenty of fish could outswim him, even those who didn't have a strong magical arsenal to aid them, but he was avoiding all facts right now. He was in a deep fantasy land, and it might even be dangerous to pull him out of it.Anyway, the team of five managed to travel two whole kilometers already, and as of now, they were nearly five hundred meters below the sea surface. They had swam deep enough to feel a great deal of the water pressure around them, and they were very well aware that the water pressure could kill them if they pushed such limits.Caution was mandatory, however, the odds were that the other challenges which The Old Sea posed, could kill them quicker than the

The Raptor Orclets were horrible creatures that harassed The Old Sea, and its borders. They were nothing short of weird lizards who shouldn't be in the water to begin with, they were invasive creatures, and the sea didn't have room for them, but yet they were adaptive as much as they were invasive! This micro universe was said to be a few thousand years old, but that may not be the case. Some of the recorded goblin history may be a few thousand years old, but this universe was a lot older than that, potentially a few million years old, even! The fact that these odd, Raptor Orclets had evolved to live in the sea, was a hint of how old the universe was. Unless the raptors found a way to adapt magically, then their grand harassment of the sea was an advantage that built up slowly, over the course of a few million years! “Shoot em, you bastards! Don't move around like old, demented ladies!” Timothy shouted. At this point he had stopped shooting lightning bolts, on the count that th

Timothy followed the Sea Orc that he was hunting, and he tried his best to keep up with the serpentine menace! This has quickly become a battle of speed, and agility, because he needed a lot of speed to keep up with the Sea Orc, and not to mention, he had to attack it as well.“Almost…” His jaws clamped.The sea orc started out swimming at a normal pace, well, it was normal in comparison to what it truly was capable of. Its fifty-foot long body knew how to maneuver the sea water to aid its speed, so the dragon's first fear-induced rush helped it gain a solid 70 km/h, which was simply unachievable for most sea creatures!Its speed was purely natural, magic didn't aid, or amplify it in any way, it knew how to flee! The dragon knew that something was wrong, and acted accordingly in order to evade danger as quickly as it could, even if it didn't know what it was fleeing from, and even if it didn't understand why its jaw was locked shut!Timothy ended up spending thousands of mana points j

Timothy turned around in a flash, and saw something that he would rather not see. He spotted this half-a-foot tall, rat-like creature, and didn't know what to think of this. Considering that the creature also had a belly button, he got even more confused, because this had to be a mammal, rather than a rat or anything like that.“What in the name of Falakus, Firunal, and Farazal are you?!” He asked, and although he didn't worship those gods himself, he mentioned their name as a way to release his frustration. He was being dramatic.“I'm a leech, well, I'm an Albino Scavenger Leech, but let's avoid the long names. Call me Thomas.” The creature answered, and he spoke the goblin tongue fluently somehow. “I'm supposed to be here, but what are you doing in a dragon’s stomach?”“I'm looking for my friends, this orc bastard swallowed them whole! They were alive a few minutes ago, I could hear them, but now… I can't even find their bodies.” He explained.Then, Thomas followed along. “Aqus gobl
