"Keep up with us! We are not afraid of the dark! Just as the sharks were in doubt, a firm voice came from the darkness.

Then at the source of the sound, a flash of blue light began to light up.

The magical glow of the Tidecaller's Staff in Nami's hand, topped by a swirling wave that contains the power of the tide.

At this time, the mermaids saw through the light of their wands that the culprit who caused the abnormal flow was actually a deep-sea octopus.

It only happened to swim through the line of the mermen, churning the water through their skins, and they mistakenly thought that the massive void creatures had come to their side. Because I was afraid that I would become a target, I didn't dare to speak out easily. They were wary of each other, thinking that the people beside them were the monsters, and they were fighting with the sea.

As a result, the merman's line became longer and longer, and the merman, who was wandering on the edge, almost broke away from the group.

The teacher is not good, and no one expected such an oolong, but this can't be blamed on them. In the dark, any fear of the unknown will be infinitely magnified and evolve into an illusion.

"I've been here before, and in the dark, you can't have the slightest bit of uneasiness and fear, because it breeds illusions in your eyes. When you can't tell the difference between reality and illusion, shadows sweep around every corner like a tidal wave. The abyss is empty, except for the illusion that flourishes. ”

The light of the Tidecaller's wand attracts the merman. Finding their target, the mermaids seemed to have found the backbone and immediately gathered around Nami's location.

"Trust the people around you, don't scare yourself!" After reuniting her clan, Nami counted the number of people and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that no one was missing.

But in the thick inky darkness, this little light is not enough to see, only as dazzling as a star can it become the guiding light of the clansmen.

It was at this time that Leona and Diana came to her.

They were flaming stars, and the light on them was so dazzling that they pierced into the darkness around them like sharp swords, counting their fears and leaving them with light.

"Thank you, your inside is as shining as your outside. Even at the deepest depths, there is tenacious life. They illuminate their surroundings and see where they are going. But in the dark, the light is not just a signpost, it is also a decoy. ”

Shiny is a homonym for kindness, and Nami sincerely thanks the two Star Spirits for their help, even if they just do it casually. But the experience forced her to remind the two spirits to always be on the lookout for things in the dark, and they would also notice the light on them.

As if to confirm Nami's words, a small fish with a transparent body and a golden glow swam out of the dense kelp bushes.

This beautiful creature immediately attracted the attention of several people.

The fluorescent fish swam and found another spot of light hidden by the kelp. It thought it was its own kind and swam over at a faster pace. But when it was drawn to the depths by the light, a black shadow several times larger than it appeared in the darkness beside it, and opened its bloody mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.

It turns out that the point of light it is not its own kind, but a trap set for it by the predator lanternfish.

That's exactly what Nami was trying to tell them, there are countless signs in the ocean, and if you pay attention to those signs in time, you can predict a storm before the undercurrent sweeps you away.

Although Nami carefully informed them of these precautions, the two Star Spirits didn't pay much attention to it.

"Don't worry, we're here to destroy these monsters, I'm not afraid that they will come to the door, I'm afraid they won't be able to hide."

The power of the star spirits is very strong and unreasonable, enough for the two of them to be fearless of the ghosts in the dark. Just as Tarik, the Guardian Spirit, was able to stop two armies from fighting with one man, Diana and Leona were able to do the same.

Moreover, from another point of view, if the two of them emitted a bright light to attract the attention of the void creatures in the darkness, would they be protecting the safety of the sharks in disguise? This is relative, the excellent physical fitness of the star spirits makes them appear much tougher than others when facing the void. (You must attack the taunting minion!) ）

"Don't think of them as too vulnerable, even if they look like mortals." Jeno knew that the Star Spirit was full of humanoid beasts, and he wouldn't be surprised if the two of them carried the gigantic Nasus brothers, because he could do it himself.

"Well, it doesn't hurt to be careful." Nami swims away, but immediately notices that Jano is doing something unusual.

He was testing whether the Eternal Flame could burn in the water, and he struck a flame in his palm, but it was quickly doused by the icy water, leaving only a string of bubbles.

However, this did not bother him, and he imitated Jax's torch staff, and immediately made a hollow crystal lantern to enclose the Eternal Flame in it, so that he could enjoy the light and heat of the flames.

Nami shouted in surprise when she saw the flame in Jeno's hand.

The other mermaids heard Nami's shout and looked at it. All of them had seen it for the first time, and they were amazed to call what Jeno was in his hand an elf.

"Elves?" Jeno was puzzled, but looked at the flickering fire in his hand and suddenly understood.

The light was like an innocent elf, beating with the swing of the hand in a daze, making an energetic crackling sound.

"This beautiful thing is not an elf, it is called fire, and I like fire!" Nami explained that it was the lander who had told her, and that the light had scared and fascinated her.

"By the way, isn't fire afraid of water? How did you manage to make it light up in the water? Nami asked.

"Because I added a lampshade to keep the sea water out, so that it burns all the time." In fact, what Jeno said is not entirely true, if it is replaced by an ordinary flame, it will not burn in an oxygen-free environment, in the final analysis, this is still a kind of magic.

"Come, don't be afraid, it won't burn you." Seeing Nami's obsessive and scared expression, Jeno handed her the lantern.

Nami didn't refuse, and carefully took the lantern, and the warmth enveloped her.

The familiar feeling came over her face, and Nami couldn't help but smile.

"This light gives me a feeling similar to that of Moonstone......"

"Are you saying it can be used as a moonstone?" Jeno was a little surprised, it was all sealed by crystal, can the deterrent power of the eternal flame against the void still be emanated?

"I'm afraid not, it's just a little similar, but it's not as powerful as it is at all." Nami couldn't help but shake her head.

"It's just that the amount is not enough." I thought that the Eternal Flame, which was especially useful for the Void, would not be useful in the water, but at this moment, the idea of making a depth charge suddenly popped into Jeno's mind.
