The huge tentacles made the team lose momentum in the sky as it created gales just crashing the numerous tentacles down on the King Whalark. The King Whalark struggled as the tentacles that grabbed it managed to drag it back down to the bottom of the sea.

The group are not lucky as well because they came crashing down. Moksha got hit by a stray tentacle and is heavily damaged while Adrian and Peridot dove down to try and save the group. There are also numerous waterspouts that manifested as a result of the heavy thrashing happening underwater.

The water pressure that resulted in the battle of the giant tentacle sea monster and the King Whalark made the surrounding waves not suitable for swimming. The other smaller sea monsters either died or were also swallowed by the fight between the two large monsters. Even the Krakens and the Scyllas retreated when the two monsters started fighting.

Adrian managed to catch Kabrakan while Peridot caught Levin Cloud. It is not easy to maneuver when two giants are thrashing about which is why Adrian forced himself to Teleport everyone. He made the Cube of Paradox mark everyone and teleport them about a kilometer away.

The fight between the two monsters made a mess of the surrounding waters and it lasted for about two hours. The group all had this haggard expression written on their faces. The stamina it took for them to actively dodge in a fight that they just got caught it took a toll mentally.

"I do not want to be here anymore." Levin Cloud stated as he hung down his shoulders.

"We should be the one saying that." Adriana and Peridot shouted as they were the ones that carried the both of them to safety.

Peridot had to unsummon Moksha because he was caught in an attack while Adrian did the same fearing for his soulbounds. They rested on a rock formation as they could see the sun setting. This is what they feared the most as the sea of monsters becomes more dangerous during the night.

Aquatic monsters that could not surface during the day will surface at night. The number of monsters increase, and they also become more powerful due to the law that monsters increase in strength at night. They wanted to at least reach the threshold of the merfolk kingdom before night falls.

"Can you teleport us to make us go closer?" Kabrakan asked.

"Teleporting all of us is already making half my mana pool disappear. We might also get caught up in a formation as the merfolk kingdom likes to employ magic circles above their waters." Adrian stated.

"Anyways, can you feel that tugging sensation that you seem to feel when the part that we need is close?" Levin Cloud asked.

"Not yet. It is either still faraway or they are concealing it. You do know that I cannot sense it if it is really far." Kabrakan stated.

"What if you cannot feel it because we are above water?" Peridot stated and everyone suddenly looked down on the dark waters.

"Can we have another option?" Levin Cloud jokingly stated but Peridot already pushed him down on the water.

"I do not have the swimming skill!" Levin Cloud shouted.

"Even better! You will sink right away." Peridot stated as Levin Cloud ate the Breath of the Ocean.

Kabrakan ate one pill and dove as well while Adrian just descended comfortably. Adrian did not need to eat one of those pills because demons do not breath air as much as they need. Space is actually a place where oxygen is barely present which is why they can also dive underwater without much hassle.

"How is that fair? We can talk!" Levin Cloud stated in a shocked tone as he did not expect that they can talk underwater.

"It grants the ability to breath in water which means that it also gives the ability to speak. I am looking at you and you seem to be coated in a thin film of energy that pushes out water to enter your lungs." Adrian stated as he used his Evil Eyes to see the effects of the pill.

"We are still sinking though. Should we not float?" Kabrakan asked as both him and Levin Cloud are not floating up.

"Swimming is a skill here so maybe if you flap your hands for a few minutes then it will get registered." Adrian stated jokingly but it actually proved effective.

[You have obtained the Swimming skill.]

"I was just joking though." Adrian muttered.

About five minutes being underwater, Kabrakan could feel something call to him once again. It is faint but he could feel a refreshing feeling wash against him. The refreshing feeling came further north of their location, and he paused for one whole minute.

"You found a trace of it." Adrian stated as he noticed that Kabrakan looked like he stared off at space.

"I do not know if that was it, but it came from the north. It calls me." Kabrakan stated.

"You are not a princess in a famous animation studio, right?" Peridot jokingly teased.

"Anyways, it is where I can feel the similar pull that happened to me on Mahar Lika. It is better to go there now while the trail is still fresh." Kabrakan stated.

"Greater Summon: Kanlaon!" Adrian stated as he summoned his dragon to be a turbo life board for him.

Peridot turned to her true form as she could lessen the decrease in stamina when she in underwater. She made Levin Cloud and Kabrakan hold onto her while Adrian held onto Kanlaon to be his personal boost underwater.

The group headed north in the darkness of the ocean depths, but it posed no problem for the group that can see in the dark. They moved in the water with grace as the two dragons practically glided like they are flying in the air. Even the incoming sea monsters are having trouble in catching up to them but that is only applicable to low level sea monsters.

About one hour of continuous swimming, Peridot and Kanlaon needed to rest but t hey needed to move to an area where there is more light. They did not need to search far as they arrived at a place where there are numerous corals and fishes that have bioluminescence. The group felt like they have entered a movie as the scene is surreal.

The fishes were not that powerful, but they had the ability to blind their aggressors. It is a great defensive mechanism especially for predators that live in the ocean depths. Since predators that live in the ocean depths are mostly in the dark, they find it difficult to adapt where there is light. It is also the reason why some only surface at night.

"I need to capture this moment. Wait a bit." Peridot stated as she activated the recording function.

Kanlaon also felt good swimming in the area, but the low-level sea monsters are scared to approach him. He is a bit disheartened at it as he found them beautiful because Kanlaon is still a child at heart. He is curious most of the time wants to interact with the world.

"We can now move as we rested quite a bit." Peridot stated but Kanlaon suddenly became giddy.

The fishes that glowed also started to hide inside the corals as if they could sense a predator in the surroundings. Adrian cannot feel the threat because his senses are dampened underwater. Also, Sirius is usually the one who warns Adrian about danger, but he could not summon Sirius now.

The soulbounds could also use the pills but the group does not know how long they will need to stay underwater. Peridot suddenly casted a spell in her dragon form as her body suddenly shined with a bright light. The surrounding suddenly became brighter as the corals responded to the shimmering light.

Kanlaon also did the same as his light dragon ball emitted the most light as he amplified the light. The bright light that they emitted deterred the incoming predator as the group heard a soft grumble. It got the group time, but it is not enough to fully stop the hungry predator aiming for them.

A somewhat large shadow came charging towards them at great speed. It was a five-meter-long shadow that looked like a torpedo. The large fish and mollusk monster hybrid came crashing down towards one of the corals.

Monster Name: Razor Clamfish

Level: 250

Health: 100%

Mana: 100%

Description: A monster that lives in the depths of the ocean that feeds on smaller sea monsters. It is coated with a hard shell that has thin blades. It will use its great speed to launch itself to its prey and attempt to slice them in half.

"It is stuck! Attack!" Kabrakan stated but the Razor Clamfish suddenly started to rotate its body to squeeze out of the coral it is trapped in.

The Razor Clamfish managed to get out of the coral and launched itself once more to the group. It is basically a spinning torpedo.
