Zach spread his hand in the opposite direction and uttered, "Linear… domain!"

Soon, the water started moving further and further, but only from the direction where Zach had pointed his hands to.

The sound of the water being pushed back was similar to the sound of water falling from the river.

"This is…" Asmodeus was awed as she glanced around and saw what Zach had done.

He had split the ocean into two parts with land in between.

"Damn, it worked."

[No, it didn't.] A voice said.

Asmodeus stepped closer to Zach after hearing the voice.

"Relax, it's the water spirit."

"How do you expect me to relax when the enemy is here?!"

"It can't do anything to us. Let's get out of here first. We can talk to her later or just ignore her."

"..."

Zach grabbed Asmodeus' hand and led her out of the ocean.

"What…?" Asmodeus looked at the sand at her feed and muttered, "We were in an ocean?"

"What did you think we were in?"

The water of the ocean raised and formed a giant body.

[Your domain didn't work.] It said. [The water simply followed your commands.]

"Yes, you said that already. No need to taunt me."

[Oh, I am not. I am… curious. How did you do that when your domain didn't work?]

"Why should I tell you?"

[If you tell me, I will surrender.]

"Uhh… no way."

[Certainly, I am not lying. It seems you have control over water, and as a water spirit, I cannot do anything.]

"If you know I have the power to control the water, then what else do you need to know?"

[I am the water spirit, and the water should follow my command. But you somehow managed to surpass a spirit. Either you are hiding your true powers, or you are related to the sea realm.]

"How about both?"

The water level decreased, and a human-sized girl walked out of the ocean. Her hair was greenish blue, and her eyes were blue like water. Her skin was pale, and it was sparkling or rather reflecting all the lights falling on her.

Most importantly, she was naked.

"Are you truly from the sea realm?!"

"You bet."

The girl dropped to her knees and said, "Can you take me there?"

"Why would I do that?"

"I was abducted from the sea realm when I was a kid. And I was told to kill anyone who tries to pass through the forest. I don't have any personal grudge against you. I was just doing my job. Every time I meet the demon lord, I ask him to send me back to the sea realm, and every time he says, 'next time'.  lightsnovel

It's been ten years, and I am still stuck here, following his command, hoping he will send me back one day. But now that someone from the sea realm is here, I don't have to do that anymore. You can take me there!"

"If you assumed that I would sympathize with your story and take you to the sea realm, then you are wrong. Did you forget you tried to kill us a while ago? Why do you think I will forgive you and send you to the sea realm, when I can kill you right here, right now?"

Zach's lifeless glare and the emotionless voice on his serious face made the water spirit shiver.

"It was nothing personal. I had no other choice. If I hadn't followed his order, he would have killed me and abducted another water spirit to do his job," she said while sobbing.

"Again, why should I care about you and your story?"

"Because you… you said you are from the sea realm. I thought you would help me. If I knew you were from the sea realm, I would have never attacked you in the first place!"

Zach couldn't take his eyes off the water spirit's naked body.

'Her skin is like Ruli and Aquarius. Without a doubt, she belongs to the Sea Realm.'

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm Zach hid his mouth behind his hand and lustfully gazed at the water spirit's body, which she thought was a lifeless glare.

'What should I do? She is not an enemy, but she did try to kill us. I can kill her with just one command, but I feel like killing her would be a mistake. Should I forgive her? She wants me to take her to the Sea Realm, but… I myself don't know how to get here.

Uncle Tis said he would send something. I don't exactly remember what he said because I was more busy thinking about Aquarius and Ruli. But Aurora should know… right? If not her, then Aria should definitely know.'

"Please, I ask for your mercy! w will do anything!"

"Anything?" Zach raised a brow.

"..." Asmodeus raised a brow after realizing Zach's interest had been piqued by the water spirit.

"Yes, anything! Oh, but please don't ask me to kill innocent people!"

"What is your name?" he asked.

"My name is Undine."

"That's a… familiar name."

"Of course, it would be familiar. Undine is the most common name among the water spirits," Asmodeus quipped.

"It is?"

"You usually know everything, but at times like this, you don't," she remarked.

"I know important things. How am I supposed to know what's the most common name in what world and realm? It makes no sense," he shrugged.

"But I did," she said proudly.

"You must have read it somewhere, and I bet that's the only thing you know," Zach scoffed softly and turned to Undine.

"Undine, can you enter my body?"

"Huh?!" Undine's face flushed as she lowered her gaze and muttered, "I know I said I would do anything, but to ask me to do that when we just met is a little…"

"What are you muttering about? I asked if you could live inside my body or not."

"Like… possessing you?"

"You are not strong enough to possess me."

"That's true. But I can try entering your body, with your permission, of course."

"Yeah, go ahead. I can't bear to look at you (body) any longer."
