Chapter 668: Chapter 482 Rose Vesper and the Mysterious Woman (4000 words)

The Endless Sea is a forbidden zone for mankind.

No one knows the reason why, but along all the coastal areas surrounding the Sky Dome Continent, ships can only travel up to three hundred kilometers out to sea before they encounter layers of mystical fog.

Either they sink amidst the turbulent waves and become food for the fish, or they are strangely forced to return.

Even the most seasoned sailors can silently lose their way in the Endless Sea.

For countless years, numerous experts have attempted to unravel the true mystery of the Endless Sea, including powerful Martial Gods, invincible Titled Knights, Great Sages with earth-shattering magic power, and the finest adventurers.

Yet, no one has been able to break through the blockade of the Endless Sea.

The fog obscures everything.

How many heroic souls and skeletons are buried beneath those bottomless waves?

No one knows. People only know that it is a forbidden land, a domain of death, a territory where mortals should not tread.

Yet, it is precisely this dangerous place that Rose Vesper has resolved to enter, willing to do anything for the resurrection of Lord Jie Luo.

He is the only man she has ever deeply loved in her life.

If Lord Jie Luo could reappear before her, even if it were the end of the world, even if everyone else died, Rose Vesper wouldn’t care at all.

Even Rose Vesper herself cannot understand why she is so obsessed with Jie Luo.

As the Holy Daughter of the Holy Court, Rose Vesper certainly commands a high position and power. What kind of talented young man has she not seen?

Those men, Rose Vesper has always dismissed with just a smile, no matter how handsome their appearance or how gentlemanly their façade. With one glance, she could always discern the filth and wretchedness deep in their hearts.

Only with Jie Luo...

Originally, before she prepared to summon the Hero on the Sky Dome Continent, Rose Vesper was merely planning to use the title of Hero to increase her influence and elevate her status.

She had not expected that, the moment she saw Lord Jie Luo, she would fall completely.

From that moment, no other existence could attract Rose Vesper’s gaze in her heart.

She could feel that there was a mysterious aura about Jie Luo that attracted her, like a vast vortex dragging her down bit by bit.

She could also sense that there seemed to be some trace in Jie Luo that was somewhat similar to her own.

Staying by Jie Luo’s side, Rose Vesper felt an unusual sense of tranquility and comfort.

Just like being with her own brother... her own blood brother.

And then, that affection morphed.

No matter what, Rose Vesper knew that this man was the only one in her life.

So she had to resurrect Jie Luo, no matter how dangerous the Endless Sea was. So what?

She intended to not just venture into the Endless Sea, but also to retrieve the Mermaid’s Heart.

No matter what weird beings existed in the Endless Sea, nothing could stop Rose Vesper’s steps.

Emerging from the small boat’s cabin, Rose Vesper steadied her emotions once more and stood at the bow, gazing into the distance where the traces of fog could already be discerned.

The rolling mist, like chaotic and jumbled dark clouds, writhed on the distant sea.

It seemed like a colossal dome, enveloping the boundless ocean.

Hiss.

A dull sound came from the side, like a blade tearing through flesh and body.

Ripples emanated from beside the small boat as the color of crimson spread across the sea’s surface, a monstrous creature that was half-human, half-fish had its throat torn open by Aili.

It was a bizarre being, its torso somewhat similar to that of a human.

With the same body and limbs.

But its skin was a weird dark green, resembling a frog’s and was covered in foul-smelling mucus, armed with a steel fork in its hands, and had a head that was utterly like an ugly catfish, with two long whiskers floating from its mouth area.

This is a Fishman.

A type of creature living in the sea... a demon.

Though it has no connection with the legions of demons on land.

For fishermen who venture out to sea, they are the most common monstrous beings they can encounter... often attacking humans living along the coasts.

However, Rose Vesper did not harvest its heart.

Fishmen are not Mermaids.

Mermaids of legends are female, a very beautiful species. Their faces are as perfect as those of a princess, with a flawless figure and an exquisite and lovely fish tail.

Their voices can sing the most beautiful songs, with a charisma resembling that of Enchanting Demons.

And mermaids live only within the dense fog ahead.

The small boat continued sailing, with time ticking away second by second.

No one knew how much time had passed, but as Rose Vesper felt a sudden chill envelop her body, the bow had already entered the area of dense fog, immediately sensing the oppressive air permeating the atmosphere upon arrival.

It almost felt like her body had become heavier.

Visibility had nearly been cut off completely, reduced to just a few meters of sight.

Rose Vesper, of course, knew the dangers within. One careless step and she would be lost in the fog forever, not to mention the various terrifying and bizarre creatures lurking.
