Village Head's Debauchery

Chapter 1151: The Lady Of The Depths

Orion, Nadia, and Seth swiftly crossed through the primordial barrier.

Nadia stared wide-eyed in surprise as she took in her surroundings. They were genuinely high up in the sky. Fortunately, Orion had mastered the One-Winged Sky Art to perfection, so unless he willed it otherwise, Nadia could move as she wished while being held up in the air beside him.

And she did.

Nadia looked behind her, staring in shock at the array of clouds. It was as if the immense land suspended in the air, from which she had just emerged, had vanished into thin air. It was even more remarkable than their Bastion.

As they approached the ground, her eyes widened further, taking in the numerous mountain ranges, the vast desolate plain, and the enormous hole stretching far into the distance. It was almost impossible to understand how vast it was, yet here it was-right next to her.

Nonetheless, something else caught her eye.

Soon, they arrived before an enormous tear in space, as though it had been carved into the atmosphere.

“Is this the gateway to the pocket dimension, the land where I and the others reside?” Nadia asked, her tone curious.

Orion nodded. “Yes,” he responded. “We need to get everyone out as fast as possible because we aren’t certain when it will close.”

Hearing Orion’s words, Nadia’s expression grew serious, and she nodded in understanding. “If that’s the case, then you have my support in doing whatever is needed to get everyone out of the pocket dimension,” Nadia said, nodding firmly.

Orion nodded in acknowledgement. “Let’s get going then,” he responded. He nodded at Seth and flew into the torn space with Nadia.

Seth watched them vanish into the pocket dimension with a worried expression.

…

Orion and Nadia soared through the air, over the ocean, heading toward the Bastion of the Wailing Gnarled. Suddenly, Orion halted, sensing something in the distance.

“What’s that?” Orion asked, stopping mid-air and staring ahead.

Nadia frowned and looked in the same direction Orion was focused on.

It appeared like a figure was following them in the water, peeking at them. At first, Orion thought it was tainted, but its movements were far too coordinated to be considered one.

“Let’s go check it out,” Orion said.

Nadia nodded in agreement.

They flew forward and quickly arrived at the source. The head peeking out of the water belonged to a woman who appeared entirely made of water. Surprisingly, she didn’t flee but remained in her position, her blue eyes fixed on them, waiting patiently.

“Excuse me, can you please tell me who you are?” Orion asked, his voice tinged with curiosity as he looked at the woman. However, instead of responding, she dived back into the water.

Orion’s expression morphed into confusion as a frown appeared on his lips.

“Do you know who she is?” Orion asked, shifting his focus to Nadia.

“I don’t know who she is. I’ve never seen or heard any records about something like this,” Nadia responded, shaking her head. Though the figure resembled a nymph, she couldn’t sense its aura, making it hard to discern what it indeed was.

Orion nodded and refocused on the water before him. “If that’s the case, I’ll follow her to investigate. If you want, I can send you back to the Bastion of the Wailing Gnarled so you can return home and begin conversing with the rest of your sisters,” he suggested.

“You must be joking, Supreme Leader. I’ve lived in this ocean my whole life, yet I’ve never encountered anything like this. How can I ignore it and return to the Bastion of the Wailing Gnarled?” Nadia replied, shaking her head. “I’m just as curious as you to uncover the mystery behind her and discover if she’s truly a nymph.”

Orion was thoughtful for a moment, then nodded. “Let’s go and stay close to me.”

Nadia nodded in agreement.

They both dove into the water, where the mysterious figure waited. She glanced at them briefly before turning and swimming away as if leading them somewhere.

Orion frowned. He knew it wasn’t wise to follow an unknown entity into unknown territory, especially in such a perilous place as this pocket dimension, where much remained undiscovered. However, he needed to explore and gather as much information as possible. Orion summoned and donned the Morphic Puppet as armour, then wrapped himself in the headless, winged spawn Aurora had left under his control, realizing the need for additional protection.

Nadia was stunned by the sudden appearance of the Morphic Puppet and the winged spawn, initially thinking Orion was transforming into a tainted. She instinctively tried to distance herself, but Orion used his One-winged sky art to hold her in place.

She sighed in relief, realizing it was still him, though she couldn’t help but stare at him in shock and bewilderment.

Once fully equipped, Orion nodded in approval. The double-layered protection was enough to ensure his safety unless he encountered a divine being.

“Stay still,” he said, turning to Nadia and commanding a headless, winged spawn to cover her entire body like armour.

Nadia froze as the spawn melded against her skin. Without Orion’s prior warning, she might have thought he was trying to restrain her, so she waited patiently until the process was

complete.

Within seconds, it was done.

Nadia’s body was encased in sleek black armour, and even her head was covered by a thin layer of material that protected her vision. Feeling the immense strength coursing through her as if she could split the ocean with a single swing, she looked at herself in astonishment.

“What are they?” Nadia asked, turning her gaze to Orion.

“They’re spawns created by one of the divine beings residing in Paradise for our protection. As you can tell, they’re very versatile, suited for defence and offence,” Orion explained. Now that Nadia was fully intent on joining Paradise, he saw no reason to hide this information from her. Keeping secrets would do more harm than good; it was best to let her understand how secure Paradise was to strengthen her conviction in joining.

Hearing his words, Nadia’s eyes widened with an indescribable shock filling her expression. These spawns were made by a divine being! She had sensed their extraordinary strength and couldn’t help but wonder how powerful the divine being responsible for their creation must

be.

Not only that but according to Orion, this was just one of the divine beings residing in Paradise. Nadia couldn’t help but gulp.

How many are there?

If something happened to Orion and the others, wouldn’t that mean that Paradise and its divine beings would rescue them? As these thoughts raced through Nadia’s mind, she didn’t feel fear-instead, she was incredibly excited.

As someone just joining Paradise, wouldn’t that mean she was also protected by these divine

beings?

The thought of having such a strong backing was reassuring. Even if she were to die in battle, she felt comforted knowing that Paradise’s forces would avenge her death.

If Anara had been here and could read Nadia’s thoughts, she would have immediately dragged her to Paradise and ensured she didn’t leave for an extended period. Fortunately, she wasn’t.

“Let’s go,” Orion said, refocusing on the water woman in the distance. She had paused during their conversation, curiously observing their new armour.

As if sensing they were done, the woman began swimming forward again.

Orion swam ahead.

Nadia nodded, her eyes fixed on the woman as she followed behind him.

The woman’s speed increased, prompting Orion and Nadia to quicken their pace. Soon, they were swimming through the ocean at breakneck speed. Fortunately, with the aid of the headless winged spawn armour, they could keep up.

They passed numerous underwater mountains, eventually arriving before a wide cave on one

of the mountains.

The woman swam into the cave.

Orion and Nadia halted before it.

“Do you recognize this place?” Orion asked, glancing at Nadia.

“I don’t. I had always been focused on the Bastion of the Wailing Gnarled and ensuring our

survival in this ocean against other bastions and the tainteds. We explored the ocean but never ventured too far, fearing we might encounter something we couldn’t handle,” Nadia

responded, shaking her head.

Orion nodded in understanding. He had expected this answer. Similarly, his village had never ventured beyond the Dreylal mountain ranges due to the fear of encountering dangerous three-star Vylkr vines or something worse.

It made sense-no one could guarantee survival on such a risky journey. Only those crazy or fearless enough would dare leave the village to chase opportunities.

With a decisive nod at each other, they both swam forward, entering the cave. They were strong enough to see through the darkness, so it posed no obstacle to them. After several minutes, they finally reached the end of the cave, and before them was a wide

hallway separated by a powerful barrier keeping the water from entering.

They hesitated for a second before they both entered through the barrier.

…..

I’ll still release another chapter before the end of the day!
