VRMMO: Am I The Strongest Yet?

In the last few months Elio had been here, he had created a lot of magic spells that were unique in many ways. They were not simple, and with the knowledge of all kinds of sources, he was able to create quite a few unique magic spells.

"A bi-elemental spell that uses wind and water attribute, a Natural spell of Grace and Preservation series."

-Ooooooooooooong!

He called upon the purified Mana inside of his body, drew a complex array of lines right in front of him, expanded those lines, stretched them, didn't use his vision magic on them and simply started creating a drawing out of these spells that wasn't making a spell circle.

He started creating something that seemed like a painting, with the different colors of Mana strings making a rough outline, which he was filling up with a couple of strings of Mana.

This was a different spell creation method that he had made recently, and thanks to this method, he didn't need any support skill to extract the Mana strings from the environment.

He naturally made these strings and turned them into something that was a simple yet elegant looking painting, which, in fact, was a representation of the spell unbound by the simple framework of a 'circle'.

{ "Is that magic, human? Why does it look so pretty?" }

"Because I like it this way. I like pretty things… have I ever told you you're pretty?"

{ "You have. My ears will fall off if I hear that again." }

They talked pretty casually with one another now, they even seemed to be friends now.

And, it had not happened overnight.

Though it has not been that long since they met this creature, months have passed since they first encountered this creature.

There were very few beings like this in this world, divinity wasn't something just anyone or anything could possess so, Sera knew this creature was unique, and one of its kind perhaps.

And, yet, the fact that her master was able to get on friendly terms with this creature in just a few hours after chasing it for just a few months fascinated her…

She knew Elio couldn't feel this creature as she could.

There was something inside of her that reacted when she was looking at this creature, and there was something that ached inside of her when she saw how Elio was being friendly with this creature.

Still, she didn't pay attention to that aching and admired her master for being able to befriend a divine beast…

-Ooooooooooooooooong!

Elio used his painting like spell made of threads of Green and Blue on the water of this lake and created what seemed to be a bubble out of it.

Then, he entered this bubble, and, Sera also flew inside of it.

"If you come with us, you won't get wet, you know? Look, this is safe."

He was still looking at that creature with a smile and Sera looked back at that from behind.

She wanted to receive that kind of friendly treatment from him, but, instead of that, she was only treated like a child that he needed to take care of.

She was weak and not that strong even right now, so she knew she wasn't the best pick when it came to fighting monsters, but she was trying her best to get stronger.

She was fighting with the strong creatures of this forest each day, taking the help of the creatures that followed Elio to train her skills and powers, and she was doing her best.

Which he knew and admired greatly.

And still, he didn't see her as someone that he needed to be friendly towards.

She was someone that he needed to protect. And he did that with all his might…

Even right now…

{ "No. I'm good. Go and get yourself wet. That bubble isn't going to hold on under the pressure down there anyway." }

"Oh? And how do you know that when you have never been there?"

{ "I just know! Hmph!" }

The reason he wanted this creature to come with them was simple.

It was strong and it could kill what Sera yet could not.

She was strong, stronger than him. And he knew that.

But that was not going to be enough against beings that were so strong that even a divine creature like this one might have difficulty dealing with them.

"Well, alright then. No one's forcing you anyway."

He smiled at the creature, then he looked at Sera and smiled at her as well.

"Let's go then."

And then, with a gust of wind created at the back of the bubble, they started going inside the lake water.

"Sera, reinforce this place."

[{ Yes, master. }]

As the creature had said, he knew this bubble would not hold on when they go down. But he wasn't worried about drowning when Sera was here.

She was smart and she was strong. If there was anyone that he could rely on in this place, then that was her.

-Ooooooooooooong!

But, their worries were unnecessary.

"It's pretty…"

The bubble continued going deeper into the water as they witnessed a world of water…

There were fishes in this bluescape. There was water all around them, and there were creatures that were 'fishes' as well as 'creatures' at the same time.

They were strange beings, especially the big fishes that dominated this entire lake.

They were the prominent creatures of this place, and though he had not felt it from the outside, they really were great creature that were just too big to even greet.

Their size was the same as size of a whale, and yet these fishes looked actually like fishes… more like catfishes that have fed on monster flesh most of their lives, but, yeah.

They were fishes. And they were all around them.

They were under them.

They were looking at them.

And, the two of them were looking back at the giant eyes of these fishes which looked… uninterested in them.

For the most part, they were the only creatures here, and, aside from their colorful scales, most of them were identical as well.

The only major differences between these creatures was their eyes… and their teeth.

It wasn't supposed to be like this but, some of the fishes had a unique shape of teeth that pretty much had no actual use.

They were big creatures, and they were fishes that didn't have to chew their dead prey.

"It will take some time to teach the bottom of the lake though."

The lake was deep.

And it was too pretty.

He was experiencing this blue world for the first time which was slowly getting darker as they went deeper towards the bottom.

His eyes might not be able to see in that darkness, but he wasn't worried.

Sera was with him. So, he at least didn't have to worry about the light…
