Liszt had wanted to take some bones back to forge weapons but, on hearing that Yu Chou also used Leviathan bones for weapons, he dismissed the idea.
He needed to maintain a certain level of prestige.
Still, he dismantled two smaller Leviathan bones to take back for research. If they proved valuable, he would remember this location and return to harvest them.
Leaving the Whale Fall of Leviathan, the team continued their exploration, finding the deep-sea world even more desolate than Liszt had imagined. There were no colorful, vibrant creatures; it was an eternal darkness, devoid of light, accompanied by all sorts of eerie and bizarre sounds. Prolonged exposure would definitely lead to oppressive madness.
Occasionally, when they encountered roaming Sea Monsters sensing the Mermaids' presence, they would turn tail and flee.
