Chapter 88： The One from the Abyss

"Hey, can you hear me?"

The other party didn't answer at all.

"Who are you?"

The other party remained silent.

Now Jesse felt strange. Could it be that people related to this fishing village all don't like answering questions?

That song, he could probably understand the meaning. Could this woman be that soldier's wife?

Subconsciously taking a step back, if this were Earth, he would definitely rush forward without hesitation and save this woman.

The woman squatting by the sea tide, looking at the sea motionlessly. Maybe she is about to commit suicide.

But in Azeroth... it's hard to say.

Could it be a female ghost? In Azeroth... there are really ghosts.

If at this time a face like Kayako turns around, Jesse will be firmly hit by a Fear spell.

At this moment, the singing gradually subsided.

Jesse already felt something was wrong. He took two steps back, and then two more steps, ready to avoid getting involved in more troubles.

Since it had become so strange, if he left this woman here and even if she was really taken away by murlocs or something later, Jesse felt that he had done his best. After all, it was she who ignored him.

Now the desire to survive had overpowered the impulse to be a hero.

Just then, Jesse saw the woman's long golden hair flutter a bit, as if the sea breeze had blown over.

But at this moment, he didn't feel any sign of wind.

And once this long hair fluttered up, it never fell down again.

Jesse already felt goose bumps all over his body.

That fluttering golden hair was not golden hair at all! It was a fish fin! A golden fish fin!

The woman slowly turned her head... a stiff face like a dead fish, slippery skin shining with wet light under the moonlight, swollen eyes with demonic light, and a bright red tongue suddenly darted out from between her small lips and trembled.

Naga!

That song was not a longing for her husband at all, but a demonic sound luring sailors to their deaths!

Jesse shuddered all over and turned around and ran, scrambling and jumping towards the house on higher ground. Suddenly, he heard the naga behind him mutter something. The quiet night made it seem as if the naga was whispering in his ear.

It seemed to be "Anunnaki..."

Jesse felt his lower body go weak. His legs couldn't support his body even after taking several steps. With a thud, he fell into the sand.

He tried hard to prop himself up, but even his arms were too weak to support his upper body.

Looking back, he saw that naga step out of the sea tide little by little, revealing her lower body. Her scales all over her body shone with a strange and gloomy light under the moonlight.

Her upper body was naked and no different from a human. The beautiful outline of her waist and chest couldn't be matched by many among humans.

But at this crucial moment, Jesse had no mood to appreciate it at all. He knew he had been hit by some weakening magic. He could clearly feel the invasion of those external magical forces, running amok inside his muscles and blood vessels, destroying his senses.

He opened the bag, reached in and grabbed the Shadow Protection Potion, opened the bottle and took a big gulp and shouted: "Thaelno! Thaelno!"

After drinking the potion, a spicy and stimulating taste ran through his chest to the esophagus. But in the time it took Jesse to swallow a mouthful of saliva, he felt strength return to his arms and legs.

The imp appeared in a flash of arcane light. Facing the approaching naga sea witch, he showed no fear at all and still maintained his usual proud and arrogant strange appearance.

"You can't handle it by yourself again, master, huh?" While shouting, he waved his hands and created a ball of flames. When the naga suddenly saw this demon, she hesitated for a moment. With a sudden stop, her snake tail on the lower body spun and flung a cloud of loose sand on the beach.

The naga suddenly burst into flames. She roared and cast a vague spell. A splash of water sprayed out from under her feet and splashed all over her body, but it couldn't completely extinguish the fire.

"Demon..." The naga growled in Common Language: "Get out of Azeroth."

The naga didn't try to dispel the imp's Immolation spell again. Instead, she began to cast another spell on the spot. She murmured incantations, and her hands released a burst of void energy. But the imp, who had been full of confidence just now, panicked.

"Master, she is going to banish me! Hurry! Let me phase shift!"

"Can't you break free on your own!" Jesse yelled.

"I can't abandon the master and run away on my own!"

"Phase shift!"

Hearing Jesse's shout, the imp immediately disappeared again in a flash of arcane light.

"Hiss!" The naga interrupted her spellcasting. Her eyes instantly turned and fixed on Jesse. However, at this moment, Jesse had just taken the stick off his back.

Seeing that the naga was already ready to deal with him, he immediately turned around and ran, continuing to rush towards the house. Jesse thought that the naga's body was a thick snake body and definitely couldn't run fast enough on land. As long as he ran out of her spellcasting range and continued to run, he would be saved!

The naga chanted a spell again. This time, Jesse could hear it clearly - Anunigi, Durzala, Kana!

It didn't sound like the language of demons. But at this moment, Jesse simply couldn't think about such complicated problems.

He felt his leg go weak for a moment. Oh no, wouldn't this weakening magic take effect again?

However, after a long while, only his leg felt a bit weak. He could still run and still run at full speed. The Shadow Protection Potion was taking effect.

As long as he didn't feel the symptoms of the protection potion about to lose its effect, it meant that the naga's shadow magic hadn't broken through the protection amount of the potion. He didn't need to worry too much!

However, just a few seconds later, he heard an extremely piercing ringing sound. This was the sound that arcane magic could make. But Jesse had never heard such a rapid and piercing arcane sound before.

There was a sudden bright flash behind him. It was so bright as if someone was shining a searchlight over here. Jesse curiously looked back and saw an arcane missile pierce through the air and shoot straight at him!

Damn!

Jesse jumped to the side and rolled on the ground. The arcane missile hit exactly where he had been, causing a violent flash and explosion!

The flying sand splashed onto his back. Jesse got up and was about to run when he was hit by another missile in front of him. The violent explosion almost knocked him down. Falling at this critical moment would mean certain death! This was a mage... a powerful mage. It was very likely many times stronger than those pretentious mages he had seen in the mage district. Jesse felt that the sound of his pounding heart was so loud that it could be felt in his eardrums. He swung his arms and ran wildly, not caring about anything behind him anymore.

Until he ran between several houses and looked back again, the naga was gone.

Where did it go?

Jesse's gaze shifted back and forth between the houses. Now he didn't dare to run further away from the coast. What if the other party was waiting for him over there?

What if this naga knew some teleportation spell or something... If that was the case, would there still be a way to survive?!

Damn... No one said there were nagas here?

Why is there a naga here?

Or are these murlocs driven here by the naga? Is their real purpose to harass Stormwind?

What's going on here.

Jesse tried his best to push these wild thoughts out of his mind. In any case, killing this naga was the top priority now. Everything else was secondary. Kill this naga...

He kept repeating the incantation of the Fear spell in his mind, preparing to cast a powerful one on this naga as soon as she appeared. He recalled the essentials of saving spellcasting that Marin had taught him. Stay calm and focused... The night. The houses around were like dark giants squatting together and watching the poor human in the middle of the open space. And he was that lonely gladiator, facing an unknown enemy and not daring to relax at any moment.

Suddenly, a flash of arcane light appeared not far away. Jesse felt that a piece of light and shadow in that direction began to blur. The imp would never appear on his own without his order. So the one who appeared must be...
