Altum is able to go to the location near the Leviathan as he is able to teleport using the magic circle that the elders have created. Adrian has given him premium access to the magic circle as he was the first player to use it. The other players are still waiting for the actual start of the magic circle activation, but some of the members of Adrian's guild have already arrived early.
"Are you sure that you can complete the totem?" Peridot asked as she also came with Altum as he needed some form of protection.
Adrian has informed his guild members that dark gamers might attack them as they also bear the guild crest. The dark gamers might have some of them stalk the area in hopes that they could assassinate Adrian. Altum, on the other hand, did not bother looking around or checking the perimeter as he knows that he will be able to handle anyone. His confidence stems from the fact that he is near the sea which increases his stats just by being near it.
"I am sure as the Totem is simply a physical artifact that will be created via worship. This boulder would be perfect for the part." Altum stated as he started to change his appearance to become more like a deep one.
Altum's humanoid appearance suddenly changed to become more fishlike. He suddenly had a large fish head with sharp teeth and even getting a fish tail. Altum still has a humanoid body, but he now has more fishlike features to resemble his patron god. Altum then touched the boulder and injected all the power that the God Dagon has given him.
Altum asked the God Dagon on how a totem could be created and he was told that he just needed to imagine the likeness and power of his patron while channeling it to a boulder. As soon as Altum channeled his power of the boulder, the changes are becoming apparent. The boulder looked like it was made of some sort of liquid that can be easily formed.
The features of the boulder started to change, and the likeness of the God Dagon started to appear. The boulder started to have a serpentine fish like lower body coiled up and an upper body that is a bit humanoid. The head looked like that of a fish and a dragon combined to produce a rather fearsome yet protective aura. The totem was fully formed, and it had the blessing of the God Dagon infused within it.
[You have created a Totem of the Deep.]
[The God Dagon has blessed this totem to give protection to any being that prays upon it before they go into the water.]
[You have created a totem for your patron god. You received +1 to all of your stats due to the accomplishment.]Altum's body returned to his more human appearance as all the power that was pumped into his body has already been used. It seems that the God Dagon has given him so much energy to the point that his body almost broke down, but he was able to use it to create the totem. It is a good thing that Peridot was also there to monitor him just in case something happened.
"You actually did it once! I know some beings that cannot even do that with their initial try. I guess he really does have a good eye for people. I want to try its effects to see what it can give me!" Peridot stated as she remembered that Adrian has a really good eye for people. She proceeded to touch the totem as she prayed to the God Dagon.
[You have touched the Totem of the Deep.]
[Pray to the Totem of the Deep in order to be blessed by the divine being tied to the deep.]
"Please give me the blessing of the deep. I ask the protection of the god that is tied to the deep." Peridot stated as she got a message notification on what to say in order to get a blessing.
[You have been given the Minor Blessing of the Deep.]
[You have been given the ability to breathe under water for one hour. This is activated once you dive into water.]
[The water pressure when divine will be lessened by 20%.]
[You can strengthen the blessing by giving an offering.]
"The blessing is nothing to scoff at! The initial offering is just a hundred mana points, but the blessing is incredibly useful! This will be useful for all of those that cannot do anything in water. A minor blessing already gives an hour of water breathing! Do you know the tiers for the blessings?" Peridot stated.
"The tiers should be Minor, Lesser, Greater, and then Major. The effects increase by 25% per tier increase but the last blessing tier can only be given to those that have at least prayed for thirty days to the God Dagon." Altum stated.
"If that is the case then all of the players would be able to fight underwater." Peridot stated.
[The God Dagon has become an honorary member of the Council of the Gods of Life and Death.]
"Oh! The guild master has accomplished it but what is an honorary member?" Altum wondered but players that looked shady suddenly encircled them.
"Are you all here to pray to the totem to get a blessing that will help in water?" Peridot asked but her expression showed a sharpness that could cut her enemies.
The shady players did not even answer Peridot as the mages suddenly fired off spells, but a barrier has already been setup. The elemental spells clashed with the barrier, and it did not even crack. The shady players saw the reaction and immediately switched to melee combat. It seems that they learned that the barrier only defended against elemental spells as the arrows passed through and forced Peridot to use a wind elemental spell to blow them away.
"Be careful! She is like Hou Yiwei!" One of the enemy players shouted.
"I guess I should show you the difference between me and Hou Yiwei because we are vastly different!" Peridot stated as she suddenly shed her humanoid form to show what she really looks like.
As soon as Peridot changed her form, the entire area suddenly looked like it was basked in a pink mist. The pink mist enveloped the entire area, and the enemy players are suddenly lost in the magic. A powerful storm of elements erupted in the area and the screams of the enemy players echoed. The silhouette of a dragon appeared for a moment after the dying screams of the enemy players.
The pink mist subsided, and Peridot has returned to her humanoid form. The only thing that can be seen in the area is a shocked Altum, the totem, and the particles of light that was the bodies of the enemy players. Altum could be seen almost having his eyes pop out from the shock as he never seen a massacre of player up close.
"You seem shocked? They were quite easy to handle as they were mostly players that have low health. Even you can do something like that when you are always in the threat of assassination. The NPCs are actually much more difficult do deal with compared to them. Anyways, we should create a guide on how to get more powerful blessings. You should create a signboard on the instructions as there are no words to say how to get more powerful blessings." Peridot stated.
"I guess that makes sense. It is a good thing that I have a signboard in my inventory that I can use." Altum stated.
"You have a signboard in your inventory?" Peridot commented at the sudden random item inside of Altum's inventory.
"I actually have Carpenter as a Sub Job class. I actually needed to get it since houses do not build themselves in this game. Even the Deep Ones want a cozy place to sleep as we still have humanoid bodies." Altum replied.
"Never thought that I would equate fish to carpentry, but you do you. Do you build underwater homes?" Peridot asked as she chatted with Altum as he made the signboard with shaking hands.

"The gods of life seem to hate you now. Levin Cloud stated.
"Correction. The lazy gods of life hate me now. I actually do not care much as you already got what you wanted right now." Adrian stated as he smiled and looked at Levin Cloud.
"Yes. Those gods actually raised requests from me to get items that can create their holy relics. They were the only ones left that have yet to give me a request. Antagonizing them proved to be quite effective which is actually shocking." Levin Cloud stated.
"I have the backing of the gods of death and also the gods like to gossip." Adrian stated as it is not just the gods of death that he talks to since the gods of life that are close to him would sometimes talk about other gods.
