851 Baby Dragons

"So, where will I stay?" the dragon asked after I brought her, her eggs, and the floating island here to the Monsters Village.

"If you need to stay high in the sky, then I suggest you stay in that cloud. That's where the angels are residing. Though if they don't allow it, then I guess you will have to stay in that biggest floating island there. Though you might be moving around a lot since the monsters here will try to push that thing around for sport," I said.

"Well, I don't really need to be in the sky. So I'm fine with being in the ground. Though being in that cloud seem interesting," the dragon said.

"Then I will ask the angels if you can stay there," I said.

I didn't contact anyone beforehand so my presence here is quite a surprise for the monsters. But they know me. They know that I sometime come here uninvited. But that's fine. Because I'm like the king in this village.

I also told them that I would bring all the floating islands here when I found one. So they already expected that if I come here, it would be to bring another floating island.

But what they didn't expect was for me to bring a dragon here. And not just a dragon, but a mother dragon. With 5 eggs laying beside her.

Apparently, a mother dragon doesn't need to warm the egg with their bodies like a chicken or most birds. But she's still protecting her eggs. Just like any creatures, I guess. Though I don't know if all monsters are the same.

The monsters then approached us since they are curious about the dragon. None of them are hostile because I'm the one who brought the dragon with me. I just hope that they won't steal the eggs.

.....

"Here's another addition to the village. A wind dragon and her eggs. I want you all to let her stay here. Graham, is it okay if she stays on that cloud?" I asked Graham while pointing at the Angel's Sanctuary. Or the cloud that we can step on. That has been attached to a tree with several vines.

"Sure. There are some spaces since some of the angels started living down there. They said that it's easier to fight or watch a fight from down there. So there are some opening above," Graham said.

Just like that, the dragon is allowed to go to the cloud. So we moved her eggs to that cloud.

We asked the elves to built a nest for the dragon and her eggs. It's done quickly because they are using plant magic.

"Is she a good addition to the team?" Shelia asked.

The monsters are still there in the cloud asking me if the dragon is a great addition to the village.

"She's Andro's granddaughter. As for whether she's strong or not, you can ask to her about it. Well, since she's a dragon and a direct descendant of Andro, she might be strong. But ask her first if she wants to fight or not. Also, Andro is supposed to come here soon to meet her. Make sure that her eggs are safe," I said.

Hearing that she's Andro's granddaughter, that's good enough for the monsters to not be hostile to her. They have experienced Andro's intimidation. And some even fainted because of that.

I'm sure none of them want to be affected by that intimidation again.

After saying a few more words, Andro then arrived. I guess he was nearby when I called him.

The dragon left to meet Andro while leaving one angel to protect the dragon eggs. And I bid my farewell to return back to where I met the dragon. I will continue my journey from there.

If it's an island that size, I should be able to transport another two more. So I will look for them again. Though I don't think I will find anymore island today.

And one week after the dragon moved into the village, I found two more floating islands. I brought them all to the village.

When I brought the floating islands, I see that the dragon has gotten along with the others there. Seems like she's also a fighter and love fighting. Though she refrains from doing it at least until her eggs hatched and the baby dragons appear.

...I want to see a baby dragon hatched. So I asked Graham to inform me if the eggs will hatch.

And today is the day. So I opened a portal to the Monsters Village to watch the miracle of birth.

Yeah, as a doctor myself, I have delivered a lot of babies in my past life. And it's something that I don't mind doing it again and again.

Then I got a message from Kayla to ask me about my current situation. So I told her about the dragon.

"You never told us anything about a dragon! Take us there now!" I guess everyone wants to see the eggs hatching.

"Victoria, did you forget to tell them about the dragons?" I asked Victoria.

"I thought that you wanted to be the one telling them about it," Victoria said.

I guess it's my fault then. Let's just stop the exploration and bring everyone over.

I thought that I would be able to continue my exploration after watching the eggs hatched. But I guess I'll take a one day break today.

Everyone is here. Even Andro. He's flapping his wings quickly so he can float in one spot the whole time.

I introduced them all to the dragon and soon after that, I see the baby dragons started moving inside the eggs one by one.

I have watched the baby dragon grows inside the egg. And I think everyone is healthy. Though one dragon is different than the others. But I didn't tell anyone about it. Because I don't know if it's normal or not.

Though someone asked me about what I see.

"Roy, you can see inside the eggs, right? Is there anything wrong with my great grandchildren?" Andro asked.

"Well... four of the eggs are fine. But one is different. While the other four's bodies are big enough to fill the egg, that one is much smaller than the eggs. There are some space left inside the eggs. So even though that one seem to be the first one to move, he hasn't break the egg yet," I said.

"A small dragon from a big egg? Don't tell me..." Andro said.

What? It's something even better than a normal dragon? Or is this one flawed?

When I thought so, everyone now can see the eggs movement. And one by one, the four eggs started moving.

Cracks appeared on the eggs as a dragon head coming out of there. One by one, four baby dragons came out of the eggs.

"So cute!"

Yeah, that's the girls' reaction seeing the birth of baby dragons. And when I said the girls, it's just the female humans. The female monsters didn't react as such.

After they were born, they instantly recognize their mother. Then their attention turned into the eggs they were hatching from. And they started eating those eggs.

"Is that normal?" I asked.

"Yeah. Dragons eat the shell of the egg they were hatching from. Even if there are other eggs, they won't pay attention to them. Just the shells from their own eggs," Andro said.

I guess Andro would have a lot of experience watching baby dragons hatched.

"If I'm not wrong, it's because the hatchlings were looking for the nutrients from the eggs. That's why they are eating the shell of the eggs they hatched from. As for why they didn't target other eggs, I don't know."

That's Victoria with her knowledge that most people here don't know. We just let her talk because what she said might be correct since there's no scholar here who researched on dragons.

If she's right, then being the smallest could be good for them. Because that means they consumed more nutrients as a baby than the other siblings.

So I checked on the smallest dragon which is still inside the eggs. Now that I heard about it, I can see that when the dragon is opening and closing his mouth, he's actually swallowing the liquid inside the egg. And he quickly grow bigger. Once he swallowed everything, he could be the biggest dragon.

"The small dragon grow bigger so quick! His body is almost as big as the egg now. And it will get bigger again!" I said.

"As expected. Once that egg hatched, the dragon will be bigger than the egg itself. If that one can break out of the shell," Andro said.

Then he explained what he's talking about. From his own experience watching so many dragons hatched. And hos own past experience.

He always felt that some eggs have smaller dragons in them. But then suddenly, they grew bigger.

And he knew instinctively that's the birth of another Kaiser Dragon. The same species as he is.

Unfortunately, before they could break out of the egg, they died inside. That's why he's still the only Kaiser Dragon in this world. At least we haven't found another one yet.

"So, if this one could hatch, this might be a Kaiser Dragon?" I asked.

"Yes. If not, then his fate will be the same as the rest," Andro said.

"Can we help by breaking it out from the egg?" I asked.

"You shouldn't. If he can't do it himself, then he will only be a weak dragon for the rest of his life," Andro said.

And so, we waited. For hours. And I see everything inside the egg.

And finally, the egg started cracking. Even if the dragon is bigger than the others, this one shell seems to be stronger than the others.

Everyone prayed for the health of the future Kaiser Dragon. And he finally came out with a loud and cute roar.

"Roaarrr!"

And the second Kaiser Dragon was born. Or hatched. Whatever.

The others even sweating just to wait for this one to hatch. And now we all know that this one is a fighter.

...Though I don't think that this one and his siblings will help in the fight against the cult. I hope they don't. Because I don't want to wait for them to grow to destroy the cult.

852 How a Kaiser Dragon Grow

"Oh, look at how baby Andro look like!" I said when the baby Kaiser Dragon was born.

He really look like the small version of Andro. A Very small version. When I look at him from so far away.

And when I said so far, it means back when I was cultivating my air magic in space. Looking down from there at a moving continent. Because Andro was just so gigantic.

"He is my great grandson after all. Of course he's similar to me," Andro said.

Right. I'll call this one Baby Andro for now. It's not like they gave each other names.

When he grows up, he will be Kid Andro. Then Juvenile Andro, Young Adult Andro, and finally, Andro Mk. II.

If he goes into rebellious phase, then it will be Rebellious Andro.

Baby Andro looked around at the surrounding. Then she recognized his own mother before paying attention to his great grandfather. Does it mean they recognize their own species right after they are born?

I guess I can say that... human babies are the stupidest baby. Well, compared to other creatures babies, human babies are just so... different. They need to be taught well. While monsters or even animals babies will be able to grow on their own by just their own instinct.

.....

Even before they were born, they need to fight. Though maybe human babies are the same. But I don't know since I haven't seen the inside of the body of a pregnant woman much after I returned back in time. I think Marie's body was the only one I've seen. But her case is different than ordinary pregnancy.

As for other pregnant women, I didn't really care about them other than checking their health.

Though as a doctor, I always feel and also witnessed that it was the mother who fought harder than the baby. Maybe they both work hard together for the baby to be born.

If I'm someone who wants to continue being a doctor after I returned back to the past, and wanted to focus on that, then I would have used this Divine Vision of mine to examine many things that I haven't known yet. But I'm not. I'm a fighter more than a doctor now.

Though maybe it's best if I could spare some time to research more on human body. Maybe I can save more people that way. Or at least I can have more things to teach other doctors so they can be the one saving lives.

With how much I have taught the doctors, the development in medicine should progress at a faster rate, right? I can leave the rest to Sophie and other doctors then.

Back to the Baby Andro. He's still looking around as if he's still hungry. Maybe it's because he's a Kaiser Dragon that he needs more food right after he was born.

"By the way, Andro, what do you eat every day?" I asked Andro.

" I usually eat any kind of birds and flying monsters that flies near my head. Once that baby became as big as me, he won't need to eat much anymore. We can even eat a small bird and that's enough to last for months, years, or even decades," Andro said.

"I see. As for me, I like eating much. So I can't imagine that kind of life," I said.

Maybe I should bring Baby Andro some food then.

Just as I thought of that, Baby Andro looked at Jewel. She was excited to see baby dragons were born. And she was so close with Baby Andro.

Baby Andro then quickly opened his wings, and flied toward Jewel with his mouth open. He wanted to eat Jewel.

But before he could reach her, I was already there. So, Baby Andro is biting on my right arm instead of biting Jewel.

"Whoa, what a strong jaw. Any ordinary people would have their arm ripped by his jaw. Also, Jewel, and the others here, don't get too close to the baby dragons. They are still babies after all. And they are also wild monsters. So they might attack you right away or even kill you. Keep your distance," I said with a baby dragon hanging on my arm.

"Oh, sorry. I guess we spooked them," Jewel said.

With his strong jaw, even though I'm a master level summoner now, I still need Aura to protect my arm. He's just so strong. If it's Andro, then my arm would have been ripped right away.

...No, that's wrong. If it's Andro, then he would swallow the whole village with just a bite.

And this baby who is biting my arm will grow that big?

"Andro, how long did it take for you to become that big?" I asked Andro.

"Well, as a baby, he will eat a lot. And when he grows a little, the food intake will not be as much as before. Even if he doesn't eat much, his body will continue to grow. If I have to say, rather than eating food, we consume magic in the surrounding area. That's how we get bigger. And that's why after your friends broke through on my back, I also grow slightly bigger than before," Andro said.

Wait, he's bigger than before? I don't know that! And how would I know that if he's already big as it is?

"Which means food is only important for you as a baby. Well, it seems like it won't be hard to raise him in this village. Everyone loves to fight. And they would always have a lot of leftover because they hunt more than they eat," I said.

"Then it's good that I moved here. Also, since the eggs hatched fine here, there will be other dragons coming," Andro's granddaughter said.

"Wait, what? What do you mean by that?"

Apparently, when a baby dragon hatched, other dragons, even if they are of different element, will know that instinctively when they are nearby. And that will tell them that this place is safe for them to lay their eggs.

But what do they mean by safe place? I mean, isn't there a plant named after their dung which makes most monsters unable to get close to that plant? Then shouldn't a real dung be working more efficiently than the fake one?

Thought it must be because the monsters have started getting used to it so that even with the plants nearby, they can just enter the area so easily. Maybe it's all because we have Andro.

Then, if Victoria wants to enter that place protected with that flower, she should be able to enter, right?

Remember Her? Try Not To Gasp When You See How Bad She Looks Now

So many questions. But I'll let Albert and the others asked the dragons about it. I'll just ask the things I care about.

"So, there will be dragons living in this village. Is that right?" I asked.

Of course the monsters here, hearing that question, they became slightly excited to the fact that there will be more friends they can play with. And when I say play, it means fight.

And since the dragon confirmed that she;s fine with fighting, there might be other dragons feeling the same way.

"Yes. They should be coming from now if they are nearby," the dragon said.

"Everyone, you hear that?! If there are any dragons who have been tamed by the cult, they will also notice it. And there will be more enemies coming. Prepare yourself!" I said. Acting like a king.

"WHOOOAAAAAA!!!"

Obviously, they are happy with it.

I guess for a dragon to seek safety, the number one being who is most likely to put them in danger is human. I must not forget about it.

"Well, I guess it's time to leave. I will also resume my journey tomorrow," I said before I was about to open portals for everyone to return.

"Journey? You're going somewhere?" Andro's granddaughter asked.

"Yeah. I'm looking for a monster that I can make a contract with for the last spot as my familiars. We're at war and I want to grow stronger and get more reinforcement. Which was why I built this village," I said.

Though that was a lie. I thought about that long after the village was built. After the elves and the angels joined the village. Not when I first built it.

"Then I might help you. As a thank for letting us stay here," the dragon said.

"Oh, that's great!"

"Then, is there any requirement to be your familiar?" the dragon asked.

"I don't have any at the moment. But if it could fight underwater for a long time, that would be great," I said.

Our biggest weakness at the moment is how weak we are at the sea. And how we can only depend on Spot and his children to fight there. With me fighting underwater occasionally.

"Then I suggest you go to this one place. It's close to the place where we met. That one almost ate me whole when I flew over the sea before I laid my eggs. Maybe you can go there and see if it's a right monster for you," the dragon then told me the location of where she found that monster.

"Thanks for the info. I'll go there tomorrow," I said.

I don't know if it's a good choice or not. But I know that if it could eat a dragon whole, then it should be strong. I'll go check it out tomorrow.

853 Continue Searching

"Leaving again?" Kayla asked.

"Yeah. I hope can get my last familiar as soon as possible. After that, I will try to get along with it well from then on. So that when we face the cult again in the future, it will cooperate with me willingly," I replied.

It's the day after Baby Andro was born. The newborn Kaiser Dragon was so hungry all the time that if he wasn't given enough food, he would eat everything. Though I heard that last night, Baby Andro finally stopped eating and sleeping well.

From what Andro said, it will goes on for a few more days. Then the Baby Kaiser Dragon won't have to eat as much as before.

Just a baby and that thing eat everything. Even I had some problem making him let go of my arm yesterday. If I use too much force, I might end up killing him. And if I don't use force, that Baby Andro will continue hanging on my arm with just his bite.

Seems like once he bites something, he will not let go of it at all. Good thing that he only bit me and not anyone else.

It took some time to adjust my strength to finally get him off of my arm. Because when I tried to remove him, he would strengthen his bite. So I need more power.

Finally, when he used his full power to bite me, it started to hurt me. Not to the point that I bleed, but it left bite mark on my arm. Though it's gone now.

Even though I'm an Aura Master, a bite of a dragon chic could harm me. Kaiser Dragon is truly scary. And he will grow as big as Andro.

.....

Though there's one thing that Andro told me later last night. He called me using magic on the phone I attached on his head and only told me about it.

He will be gone. The safe birth of a new Kaiser Dragon meant that the former Kaiser Dragon will die. Andro knew that instinctively.

When will he be gone, he doesn't know. But I hope we can get rid of the cult quickly before he's gone. Because I don't know if the Baby Dragon will be strong enough when we face the cult for real.

I guess I can't say that to anyone. The fact that Andro might be dying. Because that means we will lose our strongest monster.

Then I told Andro that if he knew that he will die soon to tell me right away so that I can tell the others. But I hope it will only be after the cult is gone.

Though if he really die, I wonder where he will be buried. And how. Should I just sink him into the ocean? Or just let him be?

Whatever the case, this is not a good news at all. So I kept it a secret even from Victoria.

I'm already prepared to go to Monsters World. To where Andro's granddaughter told me about. A place in the ocean where she almost died being swallowed by a monster.

That monster should be big. But if it's weaker than the kraken, then I won't make a contract with it.

And so, for this exploration, I won't bring Ray with me. I will bring Spot instead since he said that he's bored. And I will also bring his children to Monsters World for their training. Seems like they like how they can grow stronger.

"Alright, Spot. I don't know how strong the Kraken were, so I need you to tell me if the monster we will face is as strong as the Kraken or not," I said.

"Leave it to me. I can do that easily," Spot said.

"Well then, I'll leave now. Bye!"

Riding on a small version of Spot, we entered the portal. Victoria is also with me.

As for Spot's children, I have brought them to the Monsters World early this morning. And I told them to go to the Monsters Village first to meet the dragon and the baby dragons so that in the future, when dragons will come, they won't act hostile toward them. As for Andro, he has left.

Maybe I will introduce not just the vampires to the dragon, but the others in the alliance as well. Because yesterday we were too excited on watching the hatching of the baby dragons, we didn't introduce everyone.

But that's for later. Once there are more dragons appearing near the village.

Now that I think about it, maybe dragons are friendly monsters. They are just look scary so other creatures who saw them can't hide their fear or hostility. And that's why dragons learned that they should kill them first before they can be a problems for them.

I feel like they are really similar to me. In that they prefer to kill their enemies before they can harm them. While they were mostly only focus on living peacefully and survive. Though only a few of them are violent.

We entered the portal to where I met the dragon before. Then flying on Spot's back, we move to the direction that the dragon told me before.

Since I feel that we had enough floating islands, I don't need to look for more. At least for now. So we no longer need to travel on land.

I think that if we have to travel to the ocean, flying on Spot is better. Maybe because he's a half sea serpent.

"What do you think, Spot? You have traveled the ocean in Monsters World before. Do you think that there's a monster that at least as strong as the Kraken?" I asked Spot.

"In the place where we trained before, there were a lot of strong monsters. But none of them are as strong as the Kraken. As for where we're going, I don't think I have been there before. So I'm not sure. Though if it's stronger than the Kraken, then I'd like to fight it," Spot said.

"Sure. After I make contract with it. I'm the one who will be the master of that monster. So I'm the one who need to prove my strength. Well, if that monster is looking for a master they can approve by their strength, then I will have to face it first. If it other things, then I'll just figure it out later," I said.

The Sexiest Game Of 2023! Not For Kids

Remember Her? Try Not To Gasp When You See How Bad She Looks Now

"What other thing do you think that they will seek for their master?" Victoria asked.

"I don't know. Maybe they look for beauty? Then there's no need to fight since they will fall in love with me right away," I said confidently.

"No, that's impossible," Victoria said.

Why is it impossible? It should make sense, right? Though Spot is laughing so I guess I was wrong.

But I'm not ugly. Because if I'm ugly, how come I have a harem, right?

We're right above the ocean now. So I started using Divine Vision to see if there's any sea monsters under us.

"The dragon should be flying when she flew over this place, so that sea monsters should either be able to fly, or that they can jump very high. We shouldn't fly too low then," Victoria said.

"That's a good idea. We'll just go close to the surface or dive if that monster is not as strong as we thought," I said.

"That is certainly possible. There are many monsters who can jump so high from the sea and able to swallow a huge monster. But underwater, they are just prey for even smaller monsters. So this one might be the one that the dragon talked about," Spot explained.

Then going here is not the right choice. And I will end up continuing my search for who knows how long. What a pain.

"Let me act smart here. What if the monsters that jump and eat flying monsters evolved? They used to look for prey in the sea, but there are too much competition there. So they evolved to look for food in the sky. Which mean that there could be a really strong monsters near the place where that jumping monsters are," Victoria said.

That's some kind of theory that Victoria told me in the past. If so, then we might be able to find it.

"Well, in the end, we have to dive for who knows how long. But at least we have a direction to go now. If there are any smart monsters that can talk, let's ask them for direction to the strongest monster. That might help," I said.

The first day there, I didn't find anything. Maybe that monster is not hungry at all when I came.

So we look for a nearby island and placed a Blobby there before returning back to Cassau.

And the next day, we return there again and instantly found the monster the dragon was talking about.

"...If that's the monster she's talking about, I don't think it's strong enough. It's just using ambush tactic and attack those who are flying unnoticed with their huge mouth," I said.

"Yeah. That monsters are weak. If I got closer even in this form, that thing will run away. Should we just dive right away?" Spot asked.

"I guess we have no choice. Since that monster is here, let's get into the sea and see if there are much stronger monsters than that thing," I said as I remove my clothes. Leaving me only with only my pants before we dive into the sea.

I hope I can find a monster soon. I don't want to keep looking for a monster for a long time.

Chapter 854 5 Days Gone By Underwater

We dived into the sea. Since I'm riding on Spot's back, I don't need to swim on my own. I just need to hang onto him while he's swimming at his fastest speed.

There's no need for us to camouflage ourselves. Because we are looking for a strong monster. And if we hide ourselves, there won't be any monsters that can find us. And that destroy the whole point of my exploration. To find my last familiar.

Hmm? Wait. If Spot uses his camouflage instead, then if there's any monster that can still see us, that means that monster have great senses at least. Maybe it's better to use camouflage then since we will limit our search only to the monsters that can see us.

Yeah, that's a great idea. Let's do that instead.

Talking to Spot underwater for me is impossible, but thanks to the phone, we can use the texting feature to message each other. And I can just send a message to Spot.

He received that message and used magic to read it in his mind. And then he used his camouflage skill to hide us.

And as we dive even deeper, I realized that... my phone started to crack.

I know that Marie made the phone waterproof, but that doesn't mean that it can endure water pressure. So this time, I used Blobbies to cover the phone so that it won't get destroyed as we go deeper.

I need a new updated version. Maybe the Blacksmith will help. After all, I'm the one who will dive into the sea the most. After Spot and his children obviously.

As for Spot, his phone is still fine because it has always been protected by Blobbies. After all, Spot doesn't have a hand to hold the phone by himself. Though making one durable enough to endure the strongest pressure from the bottom of the sea is still better.

Maybe my phone can be used as a shield if that's the case.

...Well, I'll just stick at using Victoria and Blobbies. Using a phone as a shield doesn't seem to be a good idea.

Inside the ocean, I see more monsters like the previous one. The giant fish that can swallow even a flying dragon after jumping out of the surface so high. But under the water, they are so timid that they were even afraid of Spot in his small form back before he used his camouflage ability.

Good thing I didn't make a contract with it right away.

I can also just make a contract with one of them. And if I'm not satisfied, then I can just kill them. But that will show my other familiars how I don't care about them at all. I'd like to refrain from doing it at all.

Becoming a master level summoner, even my familiars can send telepathic message to each other. If they know that the contact to one monster is gone, they will notice.

And they can even feel the emotion of each other. So they will know what kill the other monster.

Scientists First Thought They Were StatuesInvesting Magazine

The deeper we go, the bigger the monsters. I bet Shelia would like to fight them. Unfortunately, she can't breathe underwater. Though that's good for me. Or she will spend most of her time underwater.

Under the water, it became too dark. Spot who was a Sea Serpent can still see. And I have Divine Vision, so my sight is perfectly fine. As for Victoria, she can't see anything.

So I used my ability to share my vision with not just Victoria, but Spot as well. So that they can see better.

"Whoa, this is much better than what I usually see. Is this what you see every day?" Spot asked me.

"Obviously not. I rarely go for a dive anymore. But yeah, if you're talking about how I can see so far and just fine even in the dark, then yeah."

Obviously, we're talking via messages through the phone. The only one who can speak here is Victoria. And that's because she would enter my ear when she wanted to say something.

We can't tell the time, so we don't know how long we have been diving. Spot doesn't seem to need much sleep. And I have a lot of stamina. While Victoria only sleeps when she wants to.

So we just continue searching for monsters. But the ocean is so large. So we don't know how long we need to look for a monster here.

Maybe I should ask Marie to add the clock function on the phone. That way, I can tell how long we have been underwater.

But the difficult part is about the timezone. Maybe we need something that will automatically change the clock on the phone to the time in the area. Not just on Earth, but in this Monsters World as well.

Well, that will be difficult. But at least if I have a clock, even without that function, I can still tell how long we have been underwater.

"Spot, let's just continue swimming until either one of us is tired, or that I'm hungry," I said.

"Okay. If we need a break, then I will swim to the surface right away and look for an island. That's what you want, right?" Spot asked.

"Correct. Let's continue for now."

We found some monsters who can still see us even with the camouflage skill. But Spot alone is enough to defeat them.

With so much ruckus here under the water, I feel that the land is more peaceful. I'm glad that I live on land.

I don't know how long we have been here. And when I got hungry, we returned to the surface. The sun was still at the same position as when we entered the ocean. Does it mean we have been under the sea for a day? Or maybe several days?

"I guess we'll return to Cassau soon. Let's look for an island to mark," I said to Spot.

We found an island right away, then I opened a portal back to Cassau.

"Welcome back, Roy! Victoria and Spot as well. Did you find it?" Angela asked.

The Sexiest Game Of 2023! Not For Kids

Remember Her? Try Not To Gasp When You See How Bad She Looks Now

"Nope. We didn't find any satisfying monster. Also, how long has it been? I've been under the water for so long that I can't tell the time. We just returned because I feel a bit hungry," I said.

"...It has been five days since you left," Kayla replied.

"Five days?! And we haven't found a good monster. Maybe there's no strong monsters anymore in the sea. I should lower my requirement and let even any monster weaker than Spot to be my familiar," I said to myself.

"I don't think that's a good idea. We even need Spot and his children to face the Kraken. We need someone even stronger than Spot. Also, you have witnessed how a competition can make monsters grow. With another sea monster to compete, not only you will have an additional strong monster. But Spot will have someone to compare his strength against," Kayla said.

"Oh, yeah! That's a good idea! Just staying in Monsters World is not enough to make me and my children grow stronger. You can also help your familiar grow stronger. And I will have someone to play with since I could never be serious when I fight my children," Spot said.

I guess that's true. If we can't find a strong monster, then look for a monster that can grow stronger.

With that in mind, I started to think about the mermaid. Since they are half human, they should be able to get stronger like other half human monsters in the village.

...I feel like all the monster in the village are half-human though. Except for the dragon.

Whatever. For now, I'm hungry. So I asked Lina to cook me some dishes even though it's not time for a meal yet.

As for Spot, the monsters he defeated were eaten by him. So I don't think that he's hungry at all.

After finishing my meal, I took a bath and went to sleep. Once I woke up, I will return to Monsters World.

Unfortunately, I woke up from a call from Fabio asking me to help him transporting something. I guess I won't return back to Monsters World for a while.

"Spot, Fabio asked me for something so I won't return to Monsters World until I'm done helping him," I said.

"Okay. Then I'll just stay in the sea nearby. Come when you're done with your business," Spot said.

Then I moved to Arturo and helped Fabio transporting some stuffs. It's just some supply for underdeveloped area in his territory.

But when I get there, I noticed some people are suspicious. Because in their homes, I can see that they hide a familiar object. The explosive device that the cult members usually have in their mouth.

And so I delayed my journey again to kill every cult members in this place. Since they are hiding their identities, it took a while until I managed to kill them all.

There should be some problem because some people just suddenly went missing, but I transported some of Fabio's men here to explain the situation to the citizen.

I don't think going to Monsters World right away is a good idea after I took some effort in finding the hiding members of the cult, so I delayed my travel again.

What a pain. But at least I killed some cult members.

Chapter 855 Still Haven't Found Anything

"We dive again today?" Spot asked.

It's the day after I helped Fabio. After I found some houses with the explosive devices, I told Fabio about it and he send some people to help me.

I killed everyone and those people that Fabio sent were convincing the citizen that they were the bad guy. Simple.

But for the members of the cult to not have the explosive device in their mouth, something is suspicious.

This meant that they somehow noticed that someone can recognize that they are a member of the cult when they have the explosive device in their mouth. So the higher ups told them to remove those explosive devices.

Or that those people have quit the cult. Did I just kill someone who tried to repent?

Well, I don't care. And those people I killed were not good people either. Even if they left the cult, they were still thieves and murderers. The people that Fabio sent found proofs of that. They're still bad guys.

And today, it's time to go back to the sea in Monsters World with Spot. It's good that Spot was not bored at all with the exploration. Because we can ask him for help.

Well, even if he got bored, there's nothing else he could do anyway other than raising his children and training. The cult still hasn't doing any move at all, so we're currently at peace. And Spot won't have to fight since there's no war at the moment.

Well, as long as there are enemies in our journey, I doubt that Spot will be bored.

"What do you think, Spot? Do you think that there are strong monster near the surface, or deep in the sea?" I asked.

"I doubt that there will be any strong monster near the surface. But maybe if it's somewhere near the reef area, then it's possible. Though going deep into the bottom will increase our chance of meeting strong monster. Should we just dive deep right away?" Spot asked.

"Sure. Let's do that. Not like we have any real destination anyway," I said.

What is the strongest monster that I found in the deepest part of the sea?

Well, I found a mantis shrimp monster before. Back when Spot and Ray had a race.

I could defeat it easily, but the power of that mantis shrimp's punch was out of this world. It could even generate heat enough to boil the water.

But other than that punch, there's nothing worth mentioning. It didn't take long for me to defeat it.

If possible, I want monsters with water magic. All the monster I found in the sea were unable to use magic at all. So those who can use magic should be exceptional.

"Spot, have you seen many other sea monsters that can use magic? Maybe we should look for them," I said.

"I haven't seen any. Water monsters usually fight with their body. But that's a good idea. Instead of looking for the biggest and the strongest, let's look for one that can use magic and more versatile. Just like the other monsters in the village, if you lead them, they will grow stronger," Spot said.

I hope that's the case.

Also, if it's an entire tribe of monster, then I might move them close to the Monsters Village. Maybe I'll built another lake. Or just make the artificial lake deeper for them.

If there are many of them, I'm sure that some of them at least have the love of fighting. Even if their tribe is not like the werewolves or weretigers who loves fighting, some will still be willing to grow stronger after seeing that the other monsters are so strong.

Though if the next tribe of monsters I found were too weak, maybe I'll consider it again before I make a contract with them. But I will still invite them to stay in the village.

"Is there anything else you want to add to be your familiar?" Spot asked again.

"Let's see... right. I want the monster to be able to enter either salt water or fresh water just fine. They can stay outside of water for a while. For a long time is preferable. After all, it will be hard if I have to open a portal to where it is if it's deep under the water. If I'm not prepared, I would be pushed by the water," I said.

"I think all water monsters are fine in either salt water or fresh water. Those who are not fine are fish or monsters who are evolved from fish," Spot said.

"Then let's look for a monster that doesn't look like a fish," I said.

And we continue our search.

It was a boring search because we haven't found anything.

We found many species of monsters. Some look strong and dangerous. But they are too weak compared to Spot.

And since I was bored, I tried to slay those monsters by myself. They were not good at all.

I think that most of the monsters I found were just evolved from fishes. So it's not like they are anything special.

They act like normal fish. The bigger fish eat the smaller fish. And the smaller fish running away from bigger fish.

Except some big fish who are afraid of Spot's small form. I guess they instinctively recognize Spot as big and strong.

We haven't found anything good for days. So I just spend those times talking with Spot.

And today, I even brought Ray as well since he seem to be bored. But Spot is here as well. So we're still using his camouflage.

"Ray is slower underwater. Will there be a seahorse monster for me to ride?" I said to myself.

Remember Her? Try Not To Gasp When You See How Bad She Looks Now

The Sexiest Game Of 2023! Not For Kids

Hearing what I said, Ray stopped swimming. He must be pouting.

"Sorry about that. Just kidding. I don't need any more ride since I already have you and Spot. And sometimes, Shelia," I said.

"Oh, you're riding on Shelia's back? Oh, right, she was in her wolf form when she met you for your date," Victoria said.

Oh, right! There's something I forgot to ask Spot.

"Hey, Spot. You met your mate on Earth, right? Does it mean mean that there are also powerful sea monsters on Earth?" I asked Spot.

"If it's around the place where I met her, then no. No one is stronger than me. I think the monsters here are stronger than the monsters there," Spot said.

Except for the Kraken, I guess. Maybe I can find another Kraken here.

"Oh, I see a nostalgic monster."

As we swum, I found a monster that I recognize. It's a monster that helped me increase my summoning level in the past. A fishman. A fish with legs and arms. And this one is carrying a spear-like weapon called trident. Instead of just one tip at the blade, this one has three tips.

The fishman instantly turn hostile to me and attacked me. But I defeated it with just one slash. I'm not the same as I was in the past.

"Seems like we won't find any other strong monster. Maybe we need to go further to the ocean before we find a monster in the deepest place. Let's just go to the surface and run somewhere far, find an island, and mark it with a Blobby. Once we do, we will go the next day to go to the deepest place in this world. There must be something strong that I can make a contract with," I suggested.

With that, we left the sea. Since we have Ray, we're running very fast. But I obviously still look for a monster in the sea using Divine Vision in case I found something strong.

But I still didn't find anything strong.

It's troubling that we have gotten much stronger and now we needed a really strong monster to help us. Though if the next monster can use magic for support, that will be good as well.

We finally found an island. But I have something more important to pay attention to. A message text from Sophie.

"Hmm... Spot, I don't think we can continue our adventure tomorrow. Maybe after a few days. I have something important to do," I said.

"What is it, Roy?" Victoria asked.

"It's from Sophie. She said that we're going to test her sight restoration surgery tomorrow as we found someone who are willing to volunteer. I will help her do it," I said.

"Really? Is it done?" Victoria asked excitedly.

"Well, that's why we need experiment. And we found several people willing to do it. Theoretically, it's possible to restore someone's sight. So we need practice now. And I don't want to delay Sunglasses from being able to see," I said.

Sunglasses is great. Just by borrowing Elsie's eyesight, and he lead us well. Though I think that Elsie's eyesight will still be much better than if his sight is restored. But at least he doesn't need much help in checking the surrounding if we succeed. Restoring his eyesight will take priority over me looking for a familiar. Good thing we found an island today," I said.

After this, I will learn everything that we will do for tomorrow's operation. I hope we can restore Sunglasses' vision.

Chapter 856 Sunglasses will Still be Sunglasses

I have repeatedly read Sophie's research. And asked her how she thinks about recovering someone's sight. Unlike with names, this time I perfectly remembered everything in what she wrote.

Though I can still read them while performing the surgery. But if I could remember them in my head, then it will be easier.

Though the main surgeon for this experiment would be Sophie. Not me.

"I'm the one who proposed it. So I want to take responsibility with my own experiment. Let me do it. If it's a success, then you can do it. I might be slower than you, but this is the path that I chose," Sophie said to me when I suggested that I became the main surgeon for the operation.

What a great woman. In fact, all the women around me are great.

No one would ever imagine that Sophie, a girl who worked at a brothel, would become a respectable doctor and surgeon.

If this operation is a success, her name will be known in medical world. She will become famous.

Maybe the cult will think of capturing her because of her knowledge in medicine. But there's no need to worry since we have many people protecting her.

Even without me asking, Albert has send several agents to protect her from the shadow. He knows how important Sophie is not only in medical world, but also for me. And he knows that she will be targeted if she shows her worth.

By the way, those who are protecting her from the shadow often get surprised when I brought them some gifts for protecting her. They never expected that I could easily find their location.

Well, their reaction was funny so I kept doing it. For protecting my woman, they deserve to be rewarded.

Though Sophie herself is quite strong. It's just that she is reluctant to hurt other people. She's so kind.

But of course if she's in danger, she will protect herself and attack the assailant. She's already strong enough to face the cult's mages if she wants to.

She refused me when I suggested that I became the surgeon. But she didn't refuse when I said that I will be her assistant.

I might be better at operation, but she's not bad at all. I'm an Aura Master after all. Maybe I could even finish the operation in a few minutes if I want to. But for the first operation, she will perform it with me as her assistant, and many other doctors here as witnesses. To see how the operation progressed.

And if it's a success, then many people will be able to recover their sight. Only those who have similar case as Sunglasses.

The volunteers also have the same symptom as Sunglasses. We have five of them.

So in case someone couldn't see everything on the first operation, Sophie will perform it again on the next patient. Or maybe me since her stamina might not be enough. Though I need to slow down my movement so that everyone can see well.

And for everyone to be able to do it, we will only use the tools provided by the hospital. Not using Blobbies who have been transformed into the tools needed.

And so, we started the operation.

Sophie did well explaining everything. And even before she asked for some tool, I already prepared it to her. Because I have learned everything that needed to be done in the operation. Though she still did say the name of the tool so that everyone will know the process.

Because it is the first operation for this kind of surgery, and also the fact that Sophie needed to explain everything to the guests, it took several hours to just fix a patient's eyes.

"It's done. We will wait for the patient to regain his consciousness to ask him how he's doing. Though with magic, we don't need to wait at all," Sophie said.

Then she looked at me. It's my turn to wake him up without harming the patient.

Thanks to the usefulness of air mages, we now have a lot of air mages helping in the hospital. Most of them are my former students. They seem to think that being in a war is scary so they decided to be a doctor. Which is still a good choice.

Though we have me right now so I will wake the patient up.

I can just wait for a while, but I don't want to wait at all. So I used air magic to wake him up by neutralizing the gas that was used to sedate the patient.

His body raised but he couldn't see anything. Not because the operation was a failure. But because we wrapped his eyes with bandages. Though with my Divine Vision, I can see that his eyes is slowly recovering to similar to any other human eyes.

"I can't see anything. Was it a failure?" the patient asked.

"We don't know yet. From now, your eyes will slowly adapt to your body. Once they do, you should be able to see again," Sophie replied.

"How long will it take?" the patient asked again.

"Depend on how good the healing mage is. And right now, we have the greatest healer below master level with us. She will heal your eyes and make it adapt to your body so you should be able to see soon. Kayla, please," Sophie said.

It's Kayla's turn now. And she used her healing magic to heal only the eyes.

Kayla might not be able to see the patient's eyes. But she knows how to use her healing magic only to only target the eyes. We can believe in her.

Kayla is already a master level mage in her earth element. I think she's focusing on her healing magic now. As for her light magic, I don't know about that. I never asked.

"Alright. I have done my best. Let's see the result," Kayla said.

"Wait! I still can't see anything!" the patient complained.

"It's because of the bandage around your eyes. Here. Can you see now?"

I swiftly cut the bandages with a scalpel. Now everyone can see his eyes.

Light has returned to his eyes as he realized that he could see again.

"I... I can see aga—"

Remember Her? Try Not To Gasp When You See How Bad She Looks Now

"Alright, that's one down. We have four more to go. Does anyone have any question or missed something from the operation?" I asked while ignoring the sentimental patient who just got healed.

"How long will it take to heal if there's no healer available?" a doctor asked.

"Well, that will be experimented on the other patient. We needed a healer to quicken the pace for this one to see the result. For the next one, we will ask the patient to wait until he recovers by himself. Anyone wants to perform the next surgery?" Sophie asked.

Of course I raised my hand here. Though they already prepared one patient for me. Sunglasses. But I want to try it on other patient first.

There are some other doctors who wanted to try. So we picked three other doctors to perform the surgery.

Then Kayla will heal two of them after the operation, and the other two will be asked to wait to recover naturally.

After that, I asked to perform the surgery right away. No one is watching me because we did two operation at once. Except Kayla who knew that I would be done in a minute.

And as I thought, I could finish the surgery in a few minutes using Blobbies as the tool. Kayla is already there prepared to use healing magic right after I woke the patient up.

"Can you see?" I asked the patient.

"I... I can see ag—"

Alright, I don't have the time to see some stranger being sentimental. So I left the room and enter the other operating room.

The surgeon there barely done with the first step when my patient could already see again.

Sophie is instructing the surgeon. And the surgery is done faster than the first one because there's no more need to be overly cautious again.

This one can see as well. Then the last two patients will have to wait until they can recover later. Who knows if it will take days or weeks. The hospital will watch over them.

"Alright, it's done. And it seem to have high rate of success as well. Kayla, let's heal Sunglasses' sight now," I said.

"Will you still call him Sunglasses after he recovers his vision?" Kayla asked me.

"I will force him to keep wearing sunglasses even if he can see again," I said.

And so, we both left the hospital. Sophie must be tired. But she seems happy that she succeeded.

I performed a surgery to Sunglasses and he finally can see again. His brother, the former king of... somewhere, also there waiting for him. They were so happy that Sunglasses can see again.

"Finally, I won't have to wear this again," Sunglasses said as he broke his own sunglasses.

"Here's a gift for your recovery. A brand new sunglasses. I don't want to see you without a sunglasses. Because I won't be able to remember your name," I said.

"...I guess I will continue wearing them forever," Sunglasses said as he received my gift.

With this, we have recovered Sunglasses' eyesight. Though I will watch him for the next few days in case something unexpected happens. But I hope that there won't be anything wrong with the surgery.

857 To the Bottom of the Sea

"Is your sight still fine?"

That's what Sophie asked Sunglasses a few days after the operation.

It was a success. And the other patients are also fine. Even those who were not healed by healing magic by Kayla. They are all fine. Their sight has returned.

"I'm fine. I can still see just fine. Can I remove the sunglasses now?" Sunglasses asked.

"No. I won't be able to tell who you are if not for the sunglasses," I said.

"...I guess this will be my trademark," he said.

After the operation, I didn't return to look for my last familiar yet. I stayed in the hospital to watch over the patients. And I also helped the doctors since, well, I'm a doctor myself.

And Sophie is busy with taking care of the patients whose sight had just returned. So I took some of her jobs.

Her old patients were complaining that it was me who appeared instead of the beautiful Sophie. If I was the patient, I would feel the same.

.....

So I told them that my girlfriend is busy with her new operation. So they became depressed knowing that Sophie had a boyfriend.

Not only that they were sick, they also got depressed as well. Did they think that someone as pretty as Sophie won't have a boyfriend?

Maybe I should propose to her so she will wear a ring. That way, everyone will know that she's taken.

Though it's not like she can wear the ring all the time. Like for a surgery for example. It will just be a bother for her during a surgery.

And the most annoying ones are those who faked their illnesses to meet Sophie. They complained that it should only be her who they met. They even threatened me by saying that they are close to important people in the city.

But they don't know that those important people in Cassau were all Albert's men. Which mean for those important people, I'm their important person. And since I'm important, they will protect everyone around me.

When they found out about it, those men promised to never bother with Sophie ever again. Because I said that they will be blacklisted from entering the hospital ever again if they continue faking their illnesses to meet Sophie. So when they are sick for real, no one in the hospital will heal them.

They gave up when I spread air magic that let them cough without stopping. Making them think that they are sick for real. And I refused to meet them. so they had no choice but to give up meeting Sophie.

They were so persistent so I have to use force. Although the force I said is just a bit of air magic, it's still a force. If it's violence, then they would be dead instead of leaving.

Scientists First Thought They Were StatuesInvesting Magazine

I'm sure that's not all. Sophie will continue to be visited by weird people. But just helping her a bit like this is enough to lessen her burden.

Though if she really hates them, then she could just strike them with lightning. She's strong enough to defeat most people in this city. Except for us and probably some agents.

"Well, I think it's about time that I return to Monsters World. If you need anything, contact me right away," I said to Sophie.

"Okay. It's been fun working together with you. Let's do it again some time in the future," Sophie said with a smile.

"And I will... I don't know. Maybe I will try to adapt my sight with that thing you call Mind's Eye. With my own vision, I think my Mind's Eye can improve," Sunglasses said.

That's a good idea.

Sunglasses' Mind's Eye is considerably much better than other people's Mind's Eye. Even Angela. Or maybe me, but I refuse to agree to that.

He has been blind for a long time and developed Mind's Eye on his own. I hope just by recovering his sight, his Mind's Eye won't just disappear and instead, it will improve.

With Spot around my waist, we entered the portal. Ray is not with us now.

"Where will we go now?" Victoria asked.

"Let's go to the deepest part of the sea. We have never been deeper than that place where Spot and Ray raced before. The trench where I fought a mantis shrimp. Maybe we could find something stronger below there," I said.

"Right. I have never dived deeper than that. Maybe we can find stronger monster there. Though we need to find a place that deep," Spot said.

Maybe we need to find another trench like that. A deeper one this time.

"Spot, we will add weight by changing Victoria's weight. This way, we can reach there faster," I said.

"Then go on your own. I'll swim by myself. I just need to follow you, right?" Spot said.

"You won't sink with me?" I asked.

"Too scary. Even as a sea monster, if I dive too fast or returns to the surface too fast from the deep part of the sea, it will harm me. Even if you try to protect me with Aura, I don't want to do it. I don't want to get used to it," Spot said.

Then Victoria explained that the change in the pressure from the bottom of the sea to the surface, could harm most creatures. I'm just a weird one since I have Aura.

Then Spot will dive down slowly, while I will dive quickly with Victoria. I'll try to not move at all from where I dived so Spot won't have to look for me.

This is the small island we found somewhere in the middle of the ocean in Monsters World. The sea nearby are so deep. But we swum quite a bit far from that island before we stopped.

"Then, I will be going first," Spot said as he dived vertically into the sea. He's not as fast as usual.

Usually, he would dive down diagonally. So he can get used to the pressure when we dive too deep. That's why he's diving slowly now.

The Sexiest Game Of 2023! Not For Kids

Remember Her? Try Not To Gasp When You See How Bad She Looks Now

"Victoria, we should go too," I said as I who was standing on the water covered us both with Aura to protect me from the dangerous water pressure.

"Then I'll take you down with style," Victoria said as she transformed herself into a rope.

A rope to bring me down?

Then she tied herself around my legs and transformed the other end of the rope into a boulder.

Now that's sinking with style. As if a stylized mafia gang trying to kill me by sinking me into the sea.

The boulder's weight is changed to the max as I got pulled into the water.

I can still lift that boulder with my strength if I want to. But right now, I want to sink into the ocean.

Soon after, we encountered Spot. So I tried my best to wave my hand for a greeting and told him that I will be waiting down there.

I sunk so fast that even some monsters who saw me and tried to chase after me couldn't keep up with the speed of me descending. I guess I'm the fastest creature under the water now. Only when I'm sinking.

It took a while, but I can finally see the bottom. Though we're not as fast to the bottom as back when Spot and Ray were racing. Which mean it's still not as deep as that time.

As we touched the bottom of the ocean, Victoria returned to her small slime form inside my ear. Of course she adjusted her weight to the lightest now.

We chatted while waiting for Spot to get here. And after about more than thirty minutes, I can see Spot. He's even slower than when he started diving.

"Let's wait here for a while so that I can adjust to the pressure here. We're not in a race, so let's be patient," Spot said.

Back when he was racing, he would use his full speed to dive. I guess that race took a lot of his strength to finish.

After a while, I rode on Spot's back again as we swim. We're going to continue looking from the bottom of the sea like this.

There are several monsters with really strong shells at the bottom of the sea. But just a punch from me, and they died. I guess they are still not good enough to be my familiar.

Even if we dived into the sea, we don't know if we could find monsters like this. Maybe we will need to do it a few more time.

"Spot, if we can't find any good monster now, then we might need to look for it again. Which means that we might dive like this several more times. If you don't like it, you don't have to join me," I said to Spot.

"Then next time, I won't go too deep. I will look in the shallower area for strong monsters for you. Just continue bringing me here. At least until I got bored," Spot said.

"If that's what you want, then sure. Today, and for the next few days maybe, let's search together," I said.

If I can't find anything, then should I try my luck in summoning monster like how I did it with Victoria and Ray?

No, I might not be lucky all the time. So let's just focus on searching manually.

858 Found a Place Where Sea Water Can't Enter

We continued looking for a monster at the deepest part of the sea. And it has been a month since we first dived to the bottom.

There were several breaks that I did. Because someone found a place with a lot of members of the cult. Some people with the explosive devices in their mouth, and some hid them in their house.

So I helped with the investigation and killed those who are confirmed to be members of the cult. That's the break that I took.

Though there were two days when I didn't do anything other than hanging out with the girls. Because I have been diving for so long for a long time, I got bored. So I took some breaks while Spot was hanging out with his children.

We found several strong monsters. Some were as strong as Spot. And some, while not as strong as Spot, they were bigger than him. But I don't feel like they can be a good familiar.

What makes one a good familiar? I don't really know myself. It's just that after I made contract with my four other familiars, I just felt that they are good monsters. Good in the meaning that they could be really helpful for me. Not their personality.

Though today, they are extremely loyal to me. None of them have unlikable personality at all.

Wait, maybe that's what I needed. A monster with compatible personality with me. A monster that will help me when I ask them instead of having to force them to do what I wanted them to do.

I guess a weaker monster than Spot is fine then. But I feel like that won't be enough.

.....

Should I go after a king of a tribe again? And get a lot of monsters to join me.

If only it would be that easy. It has been a month since I started looking, but I haven't found anyone good at all.

"Sigh... Roy, I think I had enough looking for monster. We have entered a deeper part of the sea. Much deeper than when I raced Ray before. But there's no one good enough to be your familiar. And I feel like if I continue diving so deep, then resurfaced, then go deep again, and resurfaced again, my body won't be able to take too much of it anymore. Sorry, but I have to give up helping you here," Spot said to me.

We have stayed at the bottom of the sea for five days again this time before I got hungry. And after we resurfaced and stopped at an empty island, Spot said that he gave up searching for monster.

His body won't be able to take it anymore? Maybe he will be able to if he trained his body more. But what we did was not training him. He just forced himself to go deep into the water.

"Alright. I'll ask Ray if he wants to help. Then, what will you do after this?" I asked Spot.

"After diving so deep for a while, I think that it could be a good training for me. But this time, I will only be training and won't force myself to go too deep. Just take me to where my children are, then we will train this way," Spot said.

As expected, he knows what I'm thinking. He knows that he can get stronger still. And has found a way to get stronger even if it's just bit by bit.

After that, I opened a portal for Spot to where his children are training. Then after he enters it, I opened a portal to where Ray is and asked him if he wants to join.

I can ask him via telepathy, but asking him directly shows that I care about him. So it's better this way. Especially since he's near the Monsters Village.

Ray can't speak, but I know his feeling. Knowing that even Spot had a hard time even though he's a sea monster, half sea monster, Ray thought that he won't be able to do it for so long. So he refused.

I told him that I can use air magic and Aura to protect him. But he still refused.

I guess I'll go by myself then. Oh, wait. Together with Victoria only.

Why am I fine when even Spot had a hard time? Because as a doctor, I know well about human body. I'm also an Aura Master so I covered not only my body, but also my internal organ with Aura so I will be fine with the change in water pressure.

Aura users are truly weird. I wonder how it feels to live during Timmy's era? Or maybe Victoria's and Sonia's era before the Evil God started hunting Aura users?

With so many Aura users back then... no one will be safe anywhere if those Aura users decided to do crimes. I guess I can somehow understand why the Evil God decided to kill all Aura users if that's the case.

I mean, one of the monster near me, Sonia, used charm magic to make men fall for her. She's a criminal herself.

And I heard that someone the Evil God cared about was one of Sonia's harem member. Should I say that everything is Sonia's fault?

No, that's too much. Maybe she's just the trigger. The Evil God realized that it's great to kill all Aura users after that.

Though the past is not important right now. What's important is to stop the cult from destroying the world.

After Ray rejecting my request to join me in my search, I returned back to Cassau to rest. I think I'll take a few days of rest again. Because from the next dive, I will be alone. And that means I will spend more energy than before. And I will get hungry faster.

And so, I took another break and hanging out with the others.

By the way, I didn't forget to put some Blobbies at the bottom of the sea. They are disguised as a rock so they won't get eaten.

The purpose is not for me to be able to go there right away. But it's just another method of attacking. By opening a portal directly to the bottom of the sea, and use it as a method of attack.

No one other than water mages should be able to endure the pressure. Though I doubt even water mages could do it. Even I won't be able to enter it easily.

If there are a large group of enemies in front of me, and no allies at all, I can just open a portal there and let them all die from the pressure. Maybe I'll ask Carmen and other water mages to help me with changing the direction of the water. That would be great.

Once I find my last familiar, let's practice with Carmen. If it's possible, then that method could be used in the future.

After my break, I dived into the ocean again. Alone.

I returned to where I last went to with Spot, and go deeper.

I found more monsters, but none of them seem to be good enough to be my familiar. So I continued looking.

"It's a shame that no one can see what's under the sea like you did. Thanks to your vision-sharing ability, I can see how beautiful it is underwater. If people won't die just by going here, then this could be a great place for a date," Victoria said telepathically.

"There's no light down here. But maybe Kayla who is a light mage can use her magic to illuminate the bottom of the sea. Though that only meant that more monsters will chase after us. Well, not like I can bring anyone here anyway," I said.

Those I bring here, have to stay close to me at all time so I can use air magic for them to breathe, and Aura to protect their bodies and inner organ from the pressure.

Oh, what's that? A trench?

There's a huge hole in front of me. The size is about 3 km in diameter. But I can't see the bottom. So I guess that this is a trench. And the hole is the entrance into the trench.

Should I test my luck here in hope to find a monster to be my last familiar?

Obviously. Luck is what I need the most to find something. So without hesitation, I jumped into the trench.

Again, with Victoria as a heavy suit, I dived quickly into the trench. She's no longer playing around by tying my legs and pulled me down with a heavy rock.

As I go deeper, the hole became bigger. I can no longer see the wall anymore. But I'm still falling.

I don't know how long I have been falling. But I doubt I will reach the center of this planet.

Then I looked down. Sooner or later, I should reach the bottom.

And then I see it. A place where no water enters even though it should be the deepest part of the sea.

There's air at the bottom of the ocean? What kind of place is this?

A cloud where the angels live. Then a floating island. And now, a place where water can't enter? And there's air in there? People can breathe there?

That's magic, I suppose. Let's go there and see what thing I will encounter there.

859 Underwater Dungeon

"Victoria, there's a place with air down there. And water can't come in. What do you think of that place?" I asked Victoria telepathically.

"A place filled with air underwater? And it's directly below us? How weird. I guess I should say as expected of magic," Victoria said.

After I told her what I see down below, Victoria no longer become heavy. She reduced her weight to her normal weight as I continue falling deeper but slower than before.

It's still barely enter my Divine Vision, so I can't really tell. It's quite far.

And then I see a fish monster down there. Some kind of eel. And the eel is swimming close to the entrance of the air-filled area under the ocean.

I watched the eel entered that place, and as soon as its head entered, gravity pulled that eel and that eel fall down. I don't know how deep inside that place is because I can't see that far yet. Even when I used my Mind's Eye to improve my sight. It's dark down there.

What I can see was just the border between the sea, to that place. And beyond there, even after I fall deeper, it's just dark.

"Wait, this happened several times. I guess I know what that place is," I said.

"Really? What is it?" Victoria asked.

.....

"That place is a dungeon."

There are several occasion when I couldn't see too far or too deep. And it was mostly inside a dungeon.

And this underwater dungeon is a bit special. Well, not a bit. But a lot. Because after you enter, you will leave the water. Even though it is directly under the water.

And the reason why my Divine Vision can't see too deep is because that dungeon has never been explored. Or at least magic is rarely used there. And so it's fully concentrated with mana and I can't see that far.

"An underwater dungeon with air. That's just weird. But I guess it really is a dungeon. Though I wonder if you can make a contract with a monster from a dungeon?" Victoria asked.

"Well, tamer can make a contract with monsters from a dungeon. So as a summoner, I should be able to do it if the monster is in Monsters World. Even if it's from inside a dungeon," I said. Though I'm not a hundred percent sure about it.

"Also, it's not impossible that a dungeon will be filled by monsters from the outside. Maybe a monster from outside the dungeon make it as their nest. Like how the elves can enter that giant tree. Though in the end, they became zombies and became monsters from the dungeon," I said.

I remember about the elves' case. About how I met Tia's family member inside the dungeon inside the giant tree where the elves resided before I moved them to Monsters Village.

"And we also have explored several dungeons with some monsters. Even the werewolves who were exploring the world entered dungeons. Well, how about we check that place first. It's a dungeon. Not only will there be monsters, there should be treasures as well. I hope."

Then if the treasure is good for me, I will use it. If not, I will give it to the others. If the others don't want it, they will give it to other others. If no one wants it, as long as the treasure is not something dangerous, then we can just sell it.

"Do we need to tell the others about this?" Victoria asked.

"Let's do that after we enter the dungeon. Let's find a wall that I can stick my body to before we continue falling. Because if the bottom is filled with spikes, then we would die just by falling there. Well, not me. But the others will," I said.

I still can't see the bottom. Maybe the eel that fell died because of the fall. Maybe it's even pierced by spikes down there.

It's a dungeon. So there might be traps. And a trap at the entrance is normal.

That's why I need to stick to a wall. Or maybe I just need to use Victoria as a cushion. But I want to check everything first before I land. Or should I just jump in one spot so that I will continue staying in the air?

Let's make it simpler then. A simple way to measure the depth. With a really long pole.

"Victoria, transform into a pole. A really long one that goes even beyond my Divine Vision," I said.

"I'll try," Victoria said.

Then, Victoria transformed. She turned into a pole that I can easily grab in with one hand. The thickness is the same as Reizpear's shaft. So I'm already familiar with it.

As for the length though, it can really go deeper than what my Divine Vision can see. Though only in the dungeon. If it's outside the dungeon, then I can see further.

It's just a bit longer than how far I can see, but it's fine.

And just in case, I covered myself with the magic armor. Now I'm ready for anything.

The pole is already halfway entered the dungeon. It will be my turn soon.

And as my feet passed the water, I got pulled by gravity. Now I'm already inside the dungeon. But I still can't see the bottom. I can't even see the wall. Because this place is already bigger than the hole I entered from.

I have no problem breathing as usual. But the gas here seems to be dangerous for anyone other than air mages. I guess I can't bring them here then.

"Victoria, we can't bring the others here since the air seems dangerous. So let's just explore the dungeon just the two of us. Though you can tell the others later," I said.

"We need to get to the bottom first. Then we can think of what to do later," Victoria replied.

And so, we just keep falling.

And finally, the pole touched the bottom. And I stabilized myself in the air as I slowly had Victoria shrunk and shrunk until I can see the bottom.

"...There used to be spikes down there. But I guess many monsters fell down there and died. So their bones almost fully covered the spikes. While those above the bones died because of the fall. Including the eel from before," I said.

Well, since it's directly at the bottom of the sea, I guess it's natural that there are many monsters fell into the hole. But seeing that they even covered the spikes, I guess it has been so long since then.

My feet finally touched the ground. Or it's more like a corpse of a recently falling whale that died here.

"Do you think any monsters from the outside can survive a fall this high?" Victoria asked.

"If they could, I guess that mean they are pretty strong."

I look around to see if there's a place I should go to. But then, I heard something.

With my vision, I could see farther than my ears can hear. But down here when everything is quiet, I can hear further than I can see.

I prepared myself by changing Victoria into a katana while still covering my body with the magic armor. I should have worn something instead of just my swimsuit under the armor.

The sound is getting closer. And while waiting, I placed a Blobby on a skeleton of a fishman so I can come here anytime I want.

Now that I see it closely, some of the bones of the skeletons were cut. And they were cut nicely. Like a professional chef. Or someone experienced with a sword.

The ones coming might be something strong that use bladed weapons. I need to be careful here.

Now I can hear clearly that it's the sound of footsteps. And soon after, there were many of them.

"Oh, shit. Whatever it is, we're surrounded," I said.

Then, the sound of footsteps stopped. And it changed into the sound of chewing. Some kind of creature must be biting off the freshly dropped monster here as food.

Right. If there's a monster here, and there's no food that they can find in this dungeon, then their only way of survival is by eating anything that falls into this hole.

"Hello! Anyone there?!"

After I shouted, the sound of chewing stopped. And now, I can hear them walking closer here. Though it's hard to hear that since they are stepping on fleshes. But when they're stepping on bones, I can hear them.

Now that they have gotten closer, I can see them just fine.

They look like a human. A head with a face just like a human, and two legs. But they have four arms. Two looks like normal human arms, but the other two are on their back. Right behind the right and left shoulder. And they are not human arms. But I can see that they are covered in shells and look just like a pair of crab's claws. And their size are big.

Not only that, but those claws are extremely sharp. Then that explains why some of the bones here are cut cleanly. It's their fault.

I might have found it. The monster that I'm looking for. My last familiar. I hope.

860 Half-Human, Half-Crab

Here I am, inside a dungeon at the bottom of the ocean. Standing on top of corpses of fishes and monsters that have fallen down, surrounded by monsters that I see for the first time.

They're all humanoid. Very similar to a human except for a pair of extra arms coming out of their shoulders. And those are not hands. But claws like that of a crab.

And they can easily cut the bones of a monster easily with those claws. And unlike humans who only have one elbow on each arms, at least normal humans, they have several elbows. Some have five, and some have three. My guess is that the older they are, the more joint they have.

With those joints, even though those claws are on their shoulder, they can move them freely. And the more joints, the more versatile they are in their claws' movement. I think. I haven't seen them fight yet.

They have males and females. They are not wearing anything except for some kind of shells covering their important part of their body. For the males, the shells only cover their legs below the waist. For the female, other than the shells below their waist, they have shells covering their chest.

And after I called out to them, they can summon those shells at will. So now, most of them are being wary of me as I can see them covering almost their whole body with a thick shell like a crab.

Between their shells protecting their body, and Jewel's thick rhino's skin, I wonder which one is stronger.

If these creatures have strong defense, then I'm thinking of taking one of them to be my familiar. Because my familiars other than Victoria are not specialized for defense.

Victoria is useful with her transformation skill and her cloning skill. And she can also fight on her own depend on the situation.

.....

Shelia is great at fighting. Leave her alone being surrounded by enemies, then she will be happy. Though I hope the enemies won't be too strong or she will fight until she dies.

Graham is good at fighting as well. And he can use his shadow clones to fight. But he's best at healing. Well, I think he's around Kayla's level at healing. Not at master level yet.

Ray is more like a ride and a support as I or anyone who is riding or touching him will be able to restore their mana and even Aura. With him, Victoria can fight using Aura.

And now, if I can have one of these monsters that I don't know what they're called, then I will have someone who can defend well. But that's depend on how good they are in fighting.

Let's see what will happen from now.

"Hello, my name is Roy. I came in peace!" I said to those monsters who have gotten closer to me.

It's dark. Because we're at the bottom of the sea. But for some reason, I can see some kind of light far from here.

There must be some kind of plants that can illuminate those areas. Just like in some dungeons I have been gone to.

One of them, fully covered in shell armor, approached me. He should be the leader of the group.

By the way, I have removed my magic armor. I'm just standing there with my shorts as swimsuit. I should have grabbed some clothes and change before I greeted them. But it's fine like this.

"Who are you? How are fine after that fall?" he asked.

"Well, I can fly. Though that's not how I landed here safely. But yeah, I can fly," I replied.

We talked but they don't seem to be putting their guard down. Just some light greetings.

"Is this a dungeon?" I asked.

"I don't know what a dungeon is. We have been in this place for as long as we remember it. Though one of the oldest among us told us that they used to live above, but they fell down and unable to leave. So we know nothing about the outside world," he replied.

I see. So in the past, a lot of their kind fell into the dungeon. Should I ask how long ago it was?

Well, I don't think they know how long it has been. There's no light to tell the time.

And maybe there's no other way to escape from this place other than where I entered from. And since they can't fly, they had no choice but to stay here and breed. That's why so many of them don't know how they get here. And they don't even know that this is a dungeon.

As I was thinking of what I'm going to ask next, someone came over and shouted something.

"It's here! That monster has respawned!"

"Really? Let's kill it then!"

Respawned? As expected, this is a dungeon where monsters can respawn after their death. But monsters from dungeons usually disappear. I guess that's why they came here and eat from whatever fell down to the dungeon.

"Wait, what about him?" someone asked.

Then everyone stopped and looked at me.

"It seems like it's quite important for you. Can I follow you and see what you're going to do?" I asked.

"...Fine. But we will keep watching you," the leader said.

"By the way, what kind of race are you?" I asked again.

"We are called Kreiyb. I don't know where that name came from, but that's what our elders used to call us," he said.

Kreiyb? As in saying crab in an accent? Something has worse naming sense than me.

"Is there anyone who remembered when your kind fell down to this place?" I asked.

"No. All of them died a long time ago. Those who are alive here were born in this place."

No one has ever left this place? Then this could be a problem.

If they are satisfied with their lives here, then I can't ask them to get out of here and live somewhere else. But if they have the slightest bit of curiosity, then I might be able to do it.

Asking someone to be my familiar, then get them all out of this place.

I'll do that later. For now, it seems like they are going to fight something. I'll see how well they can fight, then I will decide what to do.

Remember Her? Try Not To Gasp When You See How Bad She Looks Now

Though they seem to still be hostile toward me. But they are still curious at someone who is still alive after a fall from such heights. So I guess they have curiosity.

Even if they are not good enough to be my familiar, I will still ask them if they want to leave this place. Maybe they will help us.

For now, I need to see for myself what kind of monsters they are.

I followed them entering a cave where some algae on the wall and the ceilings illuminate the place. It's bright here.

With my Divine Vision, I can't see far. But from what I can see, this place seem to be huge. But there's no monsters other than these Kreiybs. I guess they defeated them all.

And now, one of the monsters from the dungeon respawned. And they will fight that one.

...How is there a spider monster in this place? This is underwater!

The enemy they are talking is giant spider. It's so big that if I didn't use Air Barrier to cover Victoria, her scream could be heard by everyone here.

Why is she scared of spiders? We fought even more disgusting monsters together.

"Kill it!" the leader said.

Now, let's see how they fight.

All of them covered their body with shells. They can freely make those shells appear and disappear.

Their physical strength is quite good. They are about as strong as the werewolves. But they are slower. Though their defenses are stronger.

And their attack were quite strong as well. I feel like just a punch from the leader, a normal punch with his fist and not his claw, it could hurt me who is protected by Aura. That's about the same strength as Shelia. Though she rarely used her fists in a fight. She has long nails after all. And she used them instead of fists.

These crabs, I mean Kreiybs, mainly used their four arms to attack. Their claws are so strong and so sharp. I bet the other monsters want to fight them no matter what.

But the spider is so strong. It took a lot of their effort to just cut down one of its legs.

They should have a lot of experience defeating that thing, right? Then shouldn't they know how to defeat them?

The spider is quick. If that spider jumped to the wall or the ceilings, the Kreiybs won't be able to do anything since they can't fly. That's why they surrounded that spider before the fight so it won't try to escape to the wall or the ceiling.

Many of the Kreiybs got their shells destroyed. When I asked some who are taking a break, they said that those shells will recover with time as long as they are alive. So it's fine if they break.

Seems like it will be some time until we can chat more. I guess I'll help them.

"Hey! I'll take care of three of its legs!" I shouted.

"You?! Whatever. I don't want anyone here to die. So please help us!" the leader said.

The spider's although its legs are thin compared to its body, it's quite durable that even the Kreiybs' claws have to attack it many times before the leg got cut off.

But if I put enough Aura into Victokatana, cutting them in one slash won't be that hard.

And so, I joined the battle. Only for me to cut down three legs with one slash each, and leave the battle.

With this, they should be able to handle it. If not, I will be disappointed.
