Versatile: Alternate World

The hole is very big and the Sea Worm swallowed the whole frozen village, which also means the Eternal Ice that should be there are no longer there as it also got swallowed along with what the Sea Worm devoured.

The researcher and the two female bodyguards are worried about the leader of the bodyguards that got swallowed along the village when she was trying to check out on my situation.

"The Sea Worm has a similar digestive system to the Sand Worm which is why we can still chase it and kill it to rescue our leader. Please! Help us!" one of the female bodyguards begged me to go and follow the sea worm.

"Adventurer, even though this is my first time meeting you, I am asking for a favor. Please rescue my bodyguard from the bottomless mouth of the Sea Worm. I will reward you if you are successful. You will be rewarded greatly. Just please, rescue her," even the researcher begged me to do so.

Before I can answer, a quest notification appeared and the request of the researcher appeared for me. Just like most quests I received, the rewards are in question marks. Of course, I will accept the request. That is free gold and experience plus a reward too. I am also sure that I will be fighting the Sea Worm if I accept the quest which means I can earn tons of experience just by killing that big bastard. There is no need for me to think too much about it. I click and accepted it.

"I am also kind of to blame for this so I will accept the request. I will try my best to follow the Sea Worm and find out where she is now."

I approach the edge of the hole but the researcher stopped me.

"Hey, wait! What are you doing? Are you just going down there without any equipment?!" the researcher was shocked.

"Don't worry, I have my way."

Before the researcher can even say another additional word, I jumped off the hole. The three of them peered, revealing that I didn't just jump without a cushion to land on. I landed at the back of Leona that immediately dived down into the hole. Now that I am here, time to follow the Sea Worm.

The ground is very wet even though there is no water in the area which means the wet areas might be the area the Sea Worm passed by.

"Leona, follow that wet path. That might be the path we needed to track our target."

Leona speeds up as soon as she spotted what I was talking about and traverses the giant tunnel the Sea Worm created. Just seeing a tunnel reminds me of how a Sand Worm works. This one works the same but was just living on the sea instead of the sands but if I compare which looks more disgusting to look at, I will choose the Sea Worm. Sand Worms are dry and have no other features that will make them look extra disgusting aside from being a worm with thousands of teeth and huge mouths.

As for the Sea Worm, not only does it have a sticky and wet look on its body, its slick body without any signs of segmentation parts that Sand Worm possess, it looks like a very long pipe that has a head that eats people, Plus, it constantly oozes with some kind of sticky liquid that I have no idea where it came from. Then there was that slick and shiny body that adds an extra disgusting feel to it. Just by looking at it feels like you are not looking at a creature.

As we dwell deeper, Land Piranhas suddenly appeared and started jumping at us. I pulled the Versatile Weapon, changed it to Bow and Arrow, and started to nock the arrow that appears every time I pull the Versatile Weapon's string and shoot at the Land Piranhas. Because Land Piranhas are pretty weak, they can be killed with one hit using the Versatile Weapon's bow form only. I just continue to shoot them as we came through and Leona continues to follow the track.

The Sea Worm is very big as the tunnel it makes are pretty wide. It was even much bigger than the last Sand Worm I killed before. I have to better find it fast as there seems to be a rule on how the Sea Worms work. The bigger it is, the faster it moves around and the smaller it is, the slower it moves. Since this bastard is big, it is moving a lot faster.

"Can you fly a little bit faster Leona? If this is the fastest you can fly, then just go on and continue, if you can still go faster, please do it."

Leona flaps her wings once and all of a sudden, her speed of Leona increased as she continues to follow the path of the Sea Worm. Then, I saw a movement in the distance. A slick, slithering movement. Not only that, but my weapon seems to be reacting the moment I saw the f*cker move around.

"Leona! Follow it!"

Leona's speed increased as we spotted the little f*cker. I aimed the Versatile Weapon in bow form. At least at this distance, I can try to shoot the Sea Worm and slowly chip away some of its HP. But since I am not that dead-accurate using it, my shots are missing the target.

"F*ck, is me who suck at shooting arrows or the f*cker is just too fast for me to accurately shoot?"

There is no harm done by shooting and missing, it's not like I am going to lose an arrow, my weapon generates them automatically. Thankfully, since Leona is speeding up, she finally managed to catch up to the Sea Worm and now we are on its tail's end. As we approach, the Versatile Weapon shook a lot and I was not expecting it to become like this. It wasn't like this earlier.

Just as I thought it was a bug in the system, an interface appeared before me.

[Weapon Attraction Activated: A weapon that fluctuates similarly to a Seven Deadly Sins Weapon Series is spotted nearby. Please check and confirm the location of the fluctuation to identify whether it was a fluke or it is indeed a Seven Deadly Sins Weapon Series.]

Did it activate? That skill has activated? So that means somewhere around here, a Seven Deadly Sins Weapon series is lying around here? But we are moving... don't tell me...

I looked at the fleeing Sea Worm. This thing has eaten quite a lot on the way already. Perhaps while on its eating session, the weapon that belongs to the Seven Deadly Sins weapon series might have been also devoured by this guy.

Knowing that there is a fluctuation in the Weapon Series, means this worm right here is now a mandatory kill. I can't let this bastard just get away from my grasp. Knowing that this bastard holds something I needed, I started to release a barrage of attacks on the guy. I am not seeing its HP just yet but I continue to release more attacks to the worm and hopefully, bleed this guy to death though I really doubt it.

Then, in the distance, I hear a splash of water. From the looks of it, we are approaching the water surface. The moment I knew that I made Leona catch up to it. Once we get into the tail area, I jumped off Leona and recalled her, effectively holding through the body of the slippery and stinky Sea Worm.

I opened my inventory and pulled out the still-stored item that I planned to use before but ended up not using it due to various reasons. Yes, the Lung Moss. I thought I collected it for nothing but now, it seems like I have now a good usage for it now.

Stabbing on its thick skin using the Versatile Weapon, I consumed the Lung Moss.

[You have consumed (Lung Moss). You can breathe underwater for the duration of 1 hour.]

And as I consumed it, my body alongside the huge tail of the Sea Worm plunges through the water. The water is cold as heck but thanks to the Lung Moss, my breathing didn't have any problem underwater. However, now I have a time limit. Although I can stay underwater with the Lung Moss, I don't have much of it in my inventory which is why I needed to end this as soon as possible and as fast as I can do it.

I wanted to do the trick of stabbing the enemy and then using the [Earth Fissure] to break the target to pieces but I can't do that with someone I needed to save who is swallowed by the Sea Worm, which means I have to do this in a surefire way. Crawl until I reach the very head of the guy before bombarding its head with attacks or maybe feeding its mouth with explosives. No matter what I needed to confirm whether that weapon was part of the Seven Deadly Sins or not.
