Eighteen thousand years ago...
The world of the calamitous abyss of Ivezeino is a place where the rain never stops.
Just as a thirsty heart longs for water, so the thirst of mortals, drawn into the “abyss”, turned into rain, but no matter how long it fell, its thirst could not be quenched.
Over time, falling raindrops uprooted the ground and, unnoticed by everyone, formed a huge hole in it.
An infinitely deep puddle that seemed to lead to the very bottom of the world, in which all kinds of passionate desires dissolved.
"Disastrous Abyss of Thirst."
From the very moment of the formation of this “abyss” it influenced all the inhabitants of Evezeino and determined their lives. The beasts of thirst living in that puddle, in other words, phantom beasts moved into the hearts of living beings and filled them with their thirst.
Natural desires that everyone has, such as: a thirst for control, a thirst for love, a thirst for food or a thirst for recognition - collected, mixed and distorted in this “abyss”, turning into an insane dark thirst that gave birth to insane monsters. In the world of the calamitous abyss, where phantom beasts ruled, mortals easily went crazy and turned into disasters that befall other mortals.
Therefore, rule based on law did not really work here, and survival was possible only through force and knowledge. Most of the races died out, and the only survivors were those who adapted to the phantom beasts, who were called phantom demons.
However, for them, Ivezeino was a very harsh world. Most of the phantom demons were possessed by phantom beasts and sometimes, out of thirst, even attacked other worlds.
As soon as their thirst awoke, common sense and laws lost all meaning for them and they could only be stopped by force. This was one of the reasons why the world of calamity was hated.
But even among the inhabitants of such a world, there were only a few of those whom the phantom beasts did not take control of and who retained their sanity.
Conventionally, they could be divided into two groups.
The former had such a strong will that the phantom beasts could not subdue their hearts, and the latter had a thirst so strong that it surpassed even the phantom beasts.
The stronger thirst consumed the weaker. Even if it belonged to a phantom beast.
"Disastrous Deeps of Thirst."
Inside this huge puddle, the ship of the sea of green Ioneria headed for its bottom and sank deeper and deeper. Inside it was much more spacious than on the surface - so much so that it could swallow a huge ship of a sea of greenery and there was still a lot of free space left in it.
The deeper I dived, the muddier the water became and the stronger the field of magical power that surrounded me raged. I took my magical eyes away from the ship of the sea of greenery and, looking into the abyss of water, I heard an echo of eerie voices.
Want…
Few…
More…
Thirsty... thirsty... thirsty...
- Hmm, water that dissolves and mixes passionate desires, then?
Thirst from the entire silver-water sacred ocean gathered in the “abyss” of Ivezeino and, pouring out in the form of rain, plunged into this puddle.
Although I was still not far from the surface, the voices of phantom beasts echoed in my head like a curse. Those who do not have strong resistance will probably go crazy just by entering here. How much thirst has accumulated in the depths of this puddle?
...
“ Answer us, Two Laws Tyrant, ” someone’s “Lix” was heard inside the ship of the sea of greenery.
One after another, soldiers of the Phantom Beast Organization jumped out of the research shell tower into the water.
Each of them wore a white shell-like robe identical to the Thunderclam Dragon's scales.
“ We are a squad of crazy beasts from the Evezeino Phantom Beast Organization, reporting personally to the head, Dominic.” Heed our warning. Leave Evezeino immediately. If you don't quickly make your ship float to the surface, you will be consumed by an insane thirst."
...
Several dozen phantom demons released all their magical power, preparing to fight.
...However, they were weaker than I thought.
With this level of power, they even...
“This is the Calamity Deep of Thirst, and as long as the Thunderclam Dragon is here... Jeld... noora... ra... ra...”
Hmm, what's wrong with them?
There's something wrong with them. Their eyes became bloodshot, their muscles bulged, and their facial expressions changed dramatically and became like those of those possessed. In addition, their magical power has increased by several orders of magnitude.
– I’ll kill... I’ll kill you!..
- A-a-a-a-a-a-a, a-a-a, a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a... Die!.. You will finally die! ..
– Hya-ha-ah-ah!! I don’t care whether you’re an inviolable water or not, but you had the audacity to come here, stranger!
“If I destroy one of the inviolable waters, then I myself will become one of them!”
- He is my prey! So don't bother!!
- Stupid idiot! This is our territory! “Disasterful Deep of Thirst” is a real water disaster for all living beings except phantom demons and beasts!!..
Even their character has changed beyond recognition. And for everyone at once. It seems that rationality has disappeared and they have been consumed by passionate desires. Apparently, that’s why they are called a squad of crazy animals.
