The moment Nina entered the sea, her legs transformed into a shimmering golden fishtail.
She blinked in surprise.
So this is the power of the merfolk pearl?
Lex and the others stared at her in stunned amazement.
Nina… no, Mermaid Nina… was even more breathtaking than before.
Her golden tail glimmered beneath the water like flowing sunlight, each scale radiant and ethereal, so beautiful it almost felt unreal.
Before long, they arrived at the Abyss of Darkness.
"Nina, we'll first pass through the underwater volcanic zone," Keil explained gravely. "The eruptions are unpredictable. If we're lucky, we may avoid them entirely, but we still need to stay alert."
"Alright," Nina replied.
Lani then turned to Dian. "Dian, stay outside with part of the clan and wait as backup. If anything happens, contact Nina immediately."
He knew Dian possessed the special communication crystal that allowed him to speak directly with Nina.
"Understood. Be careful," Dian answered.
