Cotl:Rise of the Crownless God

Part 18:Diving in

We continue on the quest

We eventually found the right way to go

Time skip

We finished the nigh run just as the sun was about to rise

We teleported back to Lambrina's cult entrance

"That was a pretty good run, see you next night" said Lambrina as she waved goodbye before she went down the entrance stair into her cult

I waved back as she walked away and turned back to the forest and left back to the base

Since I learned about my supposed sixth sense for the location of the base and since I remember where to go I made it back was earlier then last time

Just as I entered the base I saw the sun shine over the roofs of the houses and it shined brightly on me

I closed my eyes and looked away from the light rays

I then heard the doors of the houses open almost in unison as my followers all left the houses and greeted each other before walking to the center

I quickly rushed to the center just as they all gathered up

"Good morning everyone" I said as everyone said the same

After a little morning speech I then cooked breakfast for everyone then left and went to my house

I went to my bedroom and put the book that Kuudai gave me to learn how to do blacksmithing on my bedroom desk before opening it and reading it

A few hours passed as I wrote down notes and even made a smithy inside my basement

I went in the basement and tested myself and tried to make a plain sword

On my first try I melted the blade by leaving it inside the furnace for too long, the second try I hit the blade to hard with the hammer that it broke in half, the third try I deformed the blade to where it was curved on one side and looked weird

I continued again and again until I finally got a good enough grasp of how to work with the smithing process

I put a ingot of iron into the blast furnace and waited until the iron was glowing hot before adding carbon onto it

I pulled the ingot out and cooled it off with a barrel of water

After cooling it off it showed a darker and stronger ingot, steel

I repeated the process until I had about a dozen of steel ingots and had them in a stack

I took one steel ingot from the stack and put it into the blast furnace

When the steel ingot was glowing hot I took it out and placed it on the anvil as I began to hammer it with my blacksmith hammer

~CLANG~

~CLANG~

~CLANG~

Sparks flew by with every hit of the hammer until the ingot was shaped into a thin blade

I then made the hilt soon after

I put the pieces together and added a leather handle to it to complete the weapon

I placed the finished weapon on the weapon stand

'That rapier actually looks pretty good' I thought as I admired my work

I continued smithing until I noticed that it was noon

I pulled out the stone tablet as it was once again glowing a bright red

I held it for a few seconds and teleported to the entrance of Lambrina's cult

"You got here pretty quickly this time, anyways I am going to explore near the big lakes" said Lambrina

'The big lakes, I always wanted to check out that area but never got to that point' I thought

"Ok" I said as we then walked off into the forest

After a hour we made it to the big lakes

When we arrived we searched around the lake

After a bit we finished searching

"I think that we search the whole area, I guess we are done" I said

"No we are not, we missed a spot" said Lambrina

"Where???" I said as we have already searched the area around the lakes

Lambrina walked towards to the edge of the lake, turned to me, and pointed into the water

"There" said Lambrina

"..."

'Is this lamb serious?' I thought

"Ummm...why the water?" I said

"Well Narinda said that Kallamia usually like to stay in the water" said Lambrina

"...so what your trying to tell me...is that Kallamia's cult...is underwater?" I said

Lambrina nodded

"Ok, lets say your right, how would we even explore it" I said

"By going under the water" said Lambrina

"You do know we can drown right?" I said

"Oh I can't drown" said Lambrina

"Well what about me?" I said

"Well you have water powers I'm sure to can breathe underwater" said Lambrina

"..."

"What makes you think I'm going in there?" I said

Lambrina then slowly turned to me

The scene changes to me being tied up and being put over Lambrina's shoulder as she jumped into the water

~SPLASH~

Lambrina dived umderwater while I was struggling in her grip

Once we reached the sea floor she let me go and broke free

I was struggling to breathe

'I going to drown!, Wiat!, maybe I can control to water to make me able to breathe' I thought

I closed my eyes and tried to focus

I calmed down a bit but was still losing air

'There' I thought

Suddenly I started to breathe normally

"You had me worried for a second there" said Lambrina as she had a worried face

I looked at her with a glare as I had to use every fiber of my being to not rip this lamb to shreds

'Worried?! You literally almost made me drown!' I thought

There was a long silence as I continued to glare at Lambrina

After a min the silence was broken

"Ummm...let's continue!" Said Lambrina as she speed walked in a direction

"..."

We walked along the sea floor looking for Kallamia's cult

After a bit we encountered a flock of...jellyfish?

One was swimming towards me so I got out the way

I looked back at the jellyfish

'This jellyfish is looks way different then the jellyfish in my world, though I have never seen one' I thought as I continued to look at the jellyfish

As I was looking I noticed the jellyfish inflating and glowing a bit

?!
