After dealing with a few hundred Grade SSS monsters I came out of the water covered in blood and salt water, I wasn’t the only one with Orion and Ragnar in the same state.
“Why did you pull me into the water too?” (Ragnar)
“I could have killed the monsters while flying over them.” (Ragnar)
“It didn’t feel right me and the master fighting in the water and you staying away.” (Orion)
“You…” (Ragnar)
“Shut up you two, I only fought in the water as training, this was my first time doing this so it was horrible, I think I need to have more fights like this before I meet a truly strong monster.” (I)
“But Marcos said that the chances of that happening were slim, the Dark and Morror Continents are close compared to the distance of other Continents.” (Ragnar)
“But even so, it’s still a weeks trip by ship, that’s why this ship is fast or we could take a lot longer.” (I)
While talking to my God Beasts Irina, Freya and Nolan would come over with towels for us to clean, but before that Nix uses a jet of water to wash the dirt off our bodies.
“What are you going to do with those bodies?” (Freya)
“I took the cores, the bodies leave them there, so some monsters must eat them.” (I)
“Tell Marcos to leave, we’re done here.” (I)
After a few hours another group of monsters was nearby, in the distance it looked like they were fighting, but when we tried to go around it seemed like we caught their attention so we had another fight.
As we continued our journey this time through the night while we slept, a large group of bird-type monsters that I counted as thousands began to attack the ship, this could have been dangerous if not for the ship’s strong defenses and Grade S strength of these monsters.
I left the elimination of such a large group to Erica whose spells were more specific to large groups.
After the bird barbeque, we continued our voyage, but at dawn, we were confronted with a large bird monster of Lower Catastrophe Grade, the appearance was the same as the birds we killed during the night whose feathers are still around the ship.
I didn’t want to deal with monsters anymore and let Ragnar take care of this one already, which looked excited.
To my surprise, Karina who arrived a little late was saddened as she had been waiting a long time for a fight against a Lower Catastrophe Grade enemy to test her power.
Over the days we found more and more monsters, sometimes at intervals of hours, sometimes minutes, the strength of the monsters also changed from groups of thousands of Grade B to a few tens of Grade SSS, luckily the bird of days ago was the only one Lower Catastrophe Grade that we have encountered so far.
I was trying to fish while Karina was fighting dozens of giant Serpents with Lilith’s help.
“I can’t understand, this has never happened before.” (Marcos)
“You will learn that the impossible will always happen.” (Diana)
“But in my years I’ve never seen anyone attacked so many times by monsters in the ocean, besides they’re all very strong.” (Marcos)
“You said yourself that there are many monsters in the ocean.” (I)
“I was talking about the open sea, you weren’t supposed to find so many monsters in the normal sea.” (Marcos)
“I know there are a lot of Dungeons at the bottom of the ocean and there must be a lot of monsters after an Annual Monster Wave, but this is ridiculous.” (Marcos)
“No, that’s a matter of luck, you said so yourself.” (Diana)
“One thing I don’t have, something you should remember before you raise any more flags of disaster.” (I)
“When did I do this?” (Marcos)
“You and Ivan did so be careful what you say from now on.” (I)
“How can you be so calm?” (Marcos)
“I’m already resigned to my situation, my luck is the curse I’ll have to carry, so I’ll stop worrying about every unforeseen that comes along.” (I) ｂｏ𝚟𝚕.
“Fortunately it’s just monsters with a strength we can manage somehow.” (Diana)
“Where did I agree to enter.” (Marcos)
“On a ship, that with your words came out of your dreams and has a Dungeon full of interesting people.” (Diana)
“Don’t forget the crazy people.” (I)
Sigh
“What else can go wrong…” (Marcos)
“…” (I/Diana)
Diana and I stopped fishing and looked reproachfully at Marcos.
“What is it? Why are you looking at me like that?” (Marcos)
“Really? I just spoke and you did…” (I)
“You’re not going to learn anytime soon, apparently.” (Diana)
“Why do you like to test your luck when you’re on my side? Are you a masochist by any chance?” (I)
Marcos looked confused by the things Diana and I were saying, but sooner or later he would learn, I could only hope he was wrong about what could happen.
During the night of that day, Marcos said that we should arrive at the open sea in the morning, so it would be good for everyone to be ready in case more powerful monsters appear.
I went to sleep with a bad feeling or at least I would have slept if it hadn’t been for the girls’ nightly visit.
The next day I woke up to the ship rocking a little harder than usual, when I got dressed and cleaned up with a potion of liquid soap, I went up to the deck.
When I looked I noticed one of the people who were in Marcos’ crew looking back, when I asked what he was seeing he pointed out that we had reached the open sea, then he showed me the difference between the two seas.
At first, I didn’t notice, but it soon became obvious, the normal sea was calm and the sea where we were now was much rougher.
But I’m worried about something, since last night we haven’t had any monster attacks, everything is very calm which worries me, the flag that Marcos raised yesterday still showed no sign of appearing, but I had to enter the Dungeon to see how the things were going for a few hours.
After hours inside the dungeon, Alice runs up to me telling me to run to the ship as fast as possible that big garlic was happening.
When I ran out of the dungeon and went full speed to the deck I noticed that the ship was rocking a lot, I could only think that we must be under attack by another group of monsters, but what I found when I reached the deck was very different.
What was in front of me was a torrential storm with dozens of tornadoes sucking water from the ocean up to the skies, it was such an absurd and crazy scene that I thought the Apocalypse was happening while everyone is rushing to control the ship.
