Chapter 1079: Undersea Visitors
A few figures surged from the ocean\'s depths, their heads emerging from the deep and salty water, looking at the distance with curiosity.
Their bright, rainbow-colored eyes noticed a huge feast of giant monstrosities that had once tormented their travels across the Azure Depth Road.
However, their impression over the giant monsters being hunted wasn\'t everything.
Their eyes quickly moved towards the silvery-white-haired woman that was happily cooking the food with everyone else. She emanated an Aura of Azure color so bright and beautiful; it left them speechless...
Her connection to the Sea was stronger than anything they\'ve ever seen before, perhaps even surpassing that tyrannical Sea Goddess calling herself Oceania, that only used their ancestors as slaves.
Was she a new Goddess of the Ocean?
Could she bring them salvation from the peril their tribe is going through?
"Oracle... What do we do?" Asked one of them. "She... She has the strongest connection to the Sea, is she the Saintess we came looking for?"
"The Saintess is gone, the Goddess is also gone, but she... She\'s better than both." The one in front of the trio said. "W-We need to try at least... But let\'s wait until late, we can\'t walk out at plain daylight, the humans might get scared of us."
"Right, let\'s hope she doesn\'t leave by then..."

(Maria\'s POV)
As I looked the sizzling seafood being grilled, while Emeraldine and Partner seasoned it with all kinds of spices and sea salt, I took a peek at my System notifications, there were quite a
few.
Ding!
[You and your party have defeated [Abyssal Depths Sea Monster (S - SS Rank)] x57!]
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
[Your Level has increased from Level 146 to Level 151!]
[All your Stats have increased. You gained Bonus System Points.]
[The Levels of all your Party Members has increased greatly.]
[Congratulations! You have completed the {Challenge Quest}: [Abyssal Monster Hunt!]
[Well done, not only did you hunt those annoying monsters that have been ruining the lives of many people from the sea for the last hundreds of years, but you\'ve even feed the EXP to all your Party, making them much stronger as a result. Take these rewards.]
[Quest Completion Rewards]: [Abyssal Sea Monster Themed Treasure Chest (SS Grade)] x1 [Azure Sea Essence Elixir (SS Grade)] x3 [Soul Restoration Elixir (SS Grade)] x3]
Woah looks like another Quest triggered again! Seems that these monsters caused a lot of trouble, by hunting them I seem to have changed the fate of many people.
Though, what does it means by People of the Sea? Is there someone living down there? Hmm, well, let\'s first use some of the items I got, I\'ve gotten quite a few.
Should I try combining Skills now? I got that Skill Fusion Ticket I have yet to use after all!
No, no, let\'s better drink the consumables and open the treasure chest. Later I\'ll think about what Skills to fuse anyways.
The consumables I\'ve accumulated so far were:
[Azure Sea Essence Elixir (SS Grade)] x3
[Soul Restoration Elixir (SS Grade)] x3
[Nether Elixir of Helheim (SS Grade)] x1
I had used the Soul Restoration Elixir to heal Arthur and everyone else before, but now I\'m taking it all for myself. As for the Nether Elixir of Helheim, looks like something that Hel would gift to me, usually. It probably improves some Death thingy. And about the last one, Azure Sea Essence? Looks interesting, let\'s drink them all.
"Gulp, gulp, gulp..."
FLASH!
I felt the surge of three energies across my body after I just drank all the bottles at once, opening them and emptying them into my mouth. I looked like a cartoon drinking them, I could easily stretch my mouth to easily drink everything in a single, potent gulp. Golden, Azure, and Black colored energies flowed through my body, it felt like I was growing stronger bit by bit as I assimilated them fully into both my soul and body. These energies were most likely Soul Energy, Death Energy, and Azure Energy? Sea Energy? I don\'t know, something like that.
Ding!
[You have consumed the [Azure Sea Essence Elixir (SS Grade)] x3, [Soul Restoration Elixir (SS Grade)] x3, and [Nether Elixir of Helheim (SS Grade)] x1 Elixirs!]
[You have strengthened your Soul greatly!]
[You gained +75.000 Aether.]
[You have absorbed a large quantity of Nether Energy!]
[All of your Death-related skills gained 1 to 2 Bonus Levels.]
[You have reached the conditions, you\'ve unlocked the [Nether] Stat!]
[Nether]: [A Special type of Stat formed by the absorption of Death Essence and Nether, usually possessed by very powerful Liches and Necromancers, or mighty Undead beings. The higher it becomes, the stronger all Death-related Attributes, Abilities, Skills, Spells, and Raised Undead become. All Raised Undead Stats increase by +1% = 10.000 Nether.]
[You have absorbed a large quantity of the Essence of the Azure Oceans!]
[All your Sea-related skills gained 1 to 2 Bonus Levels.]
Well, well, this is a lot to process! Not only I got Aether, making my soul stronger, I gained a new Stat in Nether! And a lot of my skills leveled up too. This feels really nice, honestly.
I gave a look to the new Stat.
[Nether]: [100.000]
So only one hundred thousand?! That\'s much less than I imagined...
But well, better than nothing I guess?
With a hundred thousand, my Undead get a +10% boost to all stats, pretty okay I guess, I gotta
raise it quickly so they get even stronger though.
Frssshh...
"Mama, the fish is ready!" Nyx called for me.
"Big sis, I think the octopus too? I\'ve never eaten though..." Arthur commented.
"Gotcha!" I nodded. "Alright, let\'s place some tables and seats and lets enjoy a meal together,
everyone!"
We sat down to eat together, I forgot to open the treasure chest but that didn\'t matter right now, as I was starving. The delicious flavors of these monsters were to DIE for, and I forgot to even make them into Undead. Meh, it didn\'t matter that much. I still had that giant whale that was Oceania\'s pet anyways.
In between eating, laughing, and drinking, the night quickly came, and we decided to camp in the beach for the rest of the night. The place was peaceful and soothing.
"Phew, it was a nice day~"
As I looked into the night sky and admired the moonlight, suddenly, I felt something coming
out of the water...
