Chapter 2577 The White Snake Immortal's Longing!
The southern part of the continent of Samsara Paradise, in the central area of the Spring Region.
The damp, chilly air instantly enveloped my body, a stark contrast to the warmth of the spring sunshine behind me.
Noelle pushed aside the withered vines hanging down in front of her, revealing a desolate swamp stretching out before her.
Bubbling water rose from the murky puddle, and several rotting tree trunks floated to the surface.
Several pale skeletons of unknown creatures were half-buried in the mud.
The air was thick with a pungent, rotten smell.
She cautiously stepped across the relatively solid ground and walked toward the deep crevice in the mountain wall ahead.
The moment I stepped into the cave.
A damp, cold sensation, accompanied by the distinctive fishy smell of snakes, hits you in the face.
The rock face was covered with slippery moss, and countless snake molts hung among the stalactites, like floating shrouds.
In the darkness, the rustling sound of sliding and dripping water mingled and echoed deep within the winding cave.
"This is a really unpleasant place," Noelle said, frowning slightly.
The miniaturized 'Sea Dragon God' Leviathan on its shoulder leisurely flicked its tail.
"The moisture-rich cave environment is perfect for your magic."
As it spoke, its three glowing pupils swept across the lurking snake shadows in the shadows.
"But be careful, I've caught a whiff of something ancient."
"Yes, Lord Sea Dragon God."
Noelle's fingertips gathered azure magic to illuminate the path ahead.
The deeper you go.
Strange serpentine reliefs gradually appeared on the surfaces of the rock walls on both sides.
As she stepped across a pool of water, the surface of the water suddenly burst open.
Three snakes leaped out and pounced at the same time, their exposed fangs flashing with an ominous purple light.
"Water Creates Magic: Cradle of the Sea Dragon!"
Noelle was prepared.
With a wave of his wand, the pages of the grimoire in front of him turned rapidly.
A large amount of water suddenly surged from his body, forming a clockwise rotating spherical barrier that deflected the three venomous snakes that attacked him.
He then pointed his wand forward, and water blades shot out from the barrier, precisely slicing open their snake heads.
At the same time, the detector bracelet on her right wrist vibrated slightly, indicating that the score had been successfully recorded.
Noelle suddenly froze: "These snakes are melting?"
To be precise, it turned into mud and seeped into the ground.
At this moment, the ground began to tremble, and a rumbling sound reached our ears.
Something enormous seems to be approaching from ahead.
"Finally, someone decent has arrived."
The tiny Leviathan stood up with its serpentine dragon-like body as a reminder.
"Judging from the aura, the score should be over a hundred. This place really has a lot of good prey."
Noelle took a deep breath and raised her wand, becoming alert.
When the enormous, scarlet snake eyes lit up in the darkness, she finally saw what the other person looked like.
This is a giant snake, measuring over twenty meters in length, with its scales shimmering with a ghostly green luster.
"Finally, a contestant has arrived!"
"This is Ryuchi Cave, the territory of the White Serpent Sage, the 'King of the Spring Abyss'!"
"You're unlucky, poor thing~"
As the giant serpent roared, it opened its blood-red maw and spewed out billowing purple and blue poisonous mist.
Even rocks melted wherever it went.
The 'Sea Dragon's Cradle' next to Noelle hissed when it came into contact with the poisonous fog.
"This poison can corrode magic?"
This phenomenon indicates that the toxic fog contains some kind of special energy.
The Sea Dragon God spoke again: "It's chakra, it's a ninja beast from the ninja world!"
"Noelle, just kill it already, don't waste too much of your magic!"
"it is good!"
Noelle: "Water attack magic. Sea Dragon's Fang!"
The voice just fell.
Three high-pressure water jets that were spinning rapidly shot out from in front of her.
Its shape resembles the sharp fangs exposed when a sea dragon pounces.
With terrifying penetrating power, it punched bloody holes into the giant snake's body.
Sold instantly.
Noelle may look like a delicate and beautiful girl.
However, his strength should not be underestimated; he is worthy of being called the 'strongest water magician in the starfish'.
at the same time.
The deepest part of the cave suddenly opened up into a bright and spacious area.
A huge cave illuminated by countless flickering candlelight came into view.
The flickering firelight cast shadowy patterns on the rugged rock face.
The air was filled with a strange smell of wax and tobacco.
A giant, pure white snake was coiled on the large stone chair in the center.
She wore a black crown adorned with dark red pearls, and a shimmering jade necklace hung around her neck.
The pipe in his mouth was emitting wisps of bluish-gray smoke.
Above it.
A strangely shaped stone sculpture of a mythical beast looms overhead.
The menacing teeth were tightly gripping a scroll with black background and red characters, on which were written three powerful characters.
Longdi Cave.
It is the White Snake Sage, who has only recently moved here from Impel Down's 'Infinite Hell'.
Under the flickering candlelight.
The White Snake Immortal slowly exhaled a wisp of green smoke.
The golden snake eyes stared at the three-dimensional image created by illusion before them.
A silver-haired, purple-eyed magical girl is using powerful water magic to kill off ninja snakes one by one.
The movements are clean and crisp.
It subconsciously shifted its crouching body, and the stone chair emitted a faint rubbing sound.
In the past, these humans who trespassed into Ryuchi Cave would have long since become food for the animals.
But now they are unwilling to eat people, and even more afraid to do so.
The White Snake Immortal turned around and looked at the strange beast stone sculpture behind him.
My gaze fell upon the three powerful characters of 'Ryūdī-dōng'.
This place is more spacious and comfortable than the 'Infinite Hell Cell' in Impel Down.
But it is ultimately another prison.
About four months ago.
It and the 'Demon Dragon' Fafhena were moved here by the World Government.
They call it a change to a more comfortable living environment, but in reality, it's just a change of scenery to become a monster guarding the gate.
He even gave himself the title of 'The One from the Spring Abyss'.
"The rules Esdeath sets are really troublesome."
The White Snake Immortal adjusted the position of his pipe with his tongue.
The jade necklace gleamed with a warm luster under the candlelight.
according to rules.
These 'lords' who own fixed territories during the 'Top 100 Tournament'.
We must wait for the contestants to break through the outer defenses step by step.
Only when someone is standing right in front of you can you take action personally.
At this point, Noelle in the illusion had already dealt with the fourth giant snake.
He gripped his wand tightly and cautiously ventured deeper into the cave.
The White Snake Immortal narrowed his eyes.
Looking at this exceptionally talented human girl.
Another boy she longed for came to mind.
"Masado"
It uttered the name silently.
A rare hint of warmth flickered in his golden, vertical pupils.
Masato Hiraga.
During those dark times in Impel Down, the appearance of this child was like a ray of light.
The White Snake Immortal still remembers the first time he met Masato.
At that time, it was kept in a specially made sea stone cage.
The two-year-old boy lay fearlessly on the outside of the railing.
He observed himself with those dark eyes that he inherited from his father, Saijin, and they looked at him curiously.
“Mr. White Snake, the necklace around your neck is so beautiful.”
The childlike voice made it laugh, and it immediately reminded itself that it was female.
From then on, Masato would often sneak over to its cell.
Sometimes she demonstrates simple magic she learned from her mother, Louise.
Sometimes they would repeatedly swing the wooden sword to exercise their bodies and swordsmanship.
Meanwhile, he quietly watched the other person from behind the railing.
Until that day, Magellan suddenly came and announced that the World Government would let the family of three go.
This is certainly something to be happy about.
But these prisoners were both reluctant to part with 'Masado' and worried that he would be bullied outside.
Especially the three sentences the child said loudly before leaving.
It has become my biggest wish.
"I must become very, very strong, and after I get out, I will participate in the top 100 competition and wish for my mom and dad to be free!"
"We need to accumulate enough merit to get all these aunties, uncles, grandfathers and grandfathers out!"
"Let's throw a big banquet together outside then!"
My thoughts stop here.
The White Snake Immortal let out a barely audible sigh.
Twelve years or sixteen years.
For something that possesses near-eternal life, it is but a fleeting moment.
But I must be patient until then.
In this replica of Ryūchi-dō, he faces again and again those competitors who want to defeat him for points.
However, these are just minor episodes in the long wait.
Suddenly, all the candles on the wall flickered.
This pulled the White Snake Immortal back to reality from his reverie.
The illusion of the open space in front of her showed that Noelle had found a path around the poisonous swamp.
It is steadily advancing towards its core area.
"Looks like it won't be long before we have to wait."
The White Snake Immortal adjusted his coiled posture, putting his body in the best possible state for battle.
The jade necklace around her neck made a crisp clinking sound as she moved.
It was exceptionally clear in the silent cave.
"Masado, no matter how long it takes, I will wait for you here!"
