"Activate Dragon mode, partial Transformation."
As soon as he activated the dragon mode, Wil's angel wings disappeared and Greenish-Silver dragon wings sprouted from his back, emerald scales started covering his skin on hands and legs and sharp claws grew from his four limbs just like the dragon princess.
"Whoa… this feels amazing," Wil played with the retractable claws for a couple of seconds before flapping his wings in reflex to dodge the shark that tried to bite him and then, gave a solid punch to the left cheek.
"1,053,123,598"
Receiving a hard punch, Helico was blown away for a couple of meters and drowned in the water for a while before it flapped its tail and swum upwards to the surface of the water again while gathering magic energy towards its fin.
"That felt good," nodded Wil in satisfaction as he stared at his fist with a smile but it didn't stay long on his face as he saw the fin on its back started glowing and he turned serious.
As Helico charged up, it suddenly shot a giant water bomb towards him.
Looking at the giant water bomb, Wil flapped his wings and dashed to the left to dodge it but just as he dodged the attack, he saw another water bomb was on its way. Having no time to dodge, Wil spoke, "Activate, Metal Armor."
As the magic started to gather on Wil's body and then turned his body into Steel, the water bomb hit his body.
"-7,562,312,532"
*Gasp* "What a beast… Just one more attack will kill me for sure… There's still 10 minutes left for the cooldown to reset.
What should I do now? Should I give up and return? Nah, I can finish it as long as I can freeze it. Yeah, let's just finish this with Absolute freeze…
F**k…"
While he was in the middle of thinking of a plan, another water bomb was fired by the shark while its fin lost its glow.
"Activate, Invincibility," shouted Wil and activated the skill using the medallion before flying straight towards the shark while ignoring the water bomb that was almost in front of him.
"-0"
With a golden energy barrier covering over him, the damage was nullified, and Wil, who almost reached 5m in the range, spoke, "let's finish this."
"Absolute Free… Eh?"
Unlike the dragon princess, this native species of the ocean that have high survival instincts, instantly dived into the ocean with high speed, trying to escape with the range as soon as he about to freeze his surroundings while leaving Wil stupefied for a second before grinning, "you won't be able to escape it, though."
*Ting *Ting* Ting*
A couple of seconds later, Wil knocked it as he landed on the frozen surface, "Hmm, I don't think this can be broken. I forgot to consider the landscape. Looks like this skill is also useless in the battle against sea creatures."
"Lad, I feel something ominous." Suddenly, Wil heard a gentle yet matured voice from the bow, which made him almost jumped up in reflex.
"You can talk to me in my mind?" asked Wil as he raised the bow at his eye level and looked at it in surprise.
The spirit of Averil, who was inside the bow replied, "I guess it might because of the connection between us through this mighty bow. It's really strange though. I feel very much alive and at the same time dead... Anyway, that's not important. From a while ago, I'm feeling that a..."
Without finishing her explanation, she suddenly shouted, "watch out..."
"Huh?"
As a very powerful loud sound of water splash heard from his behind and loomed a giant shadow over the wide range, Wil turned only to see a part of gigantic beast crashing on to him and broke the ice along with killing the Giant Shark before continuing its way.
*Critical hit*"-2,508,291,635,875."
*Ding. You died.
*Ding. You were killed by the Deep Sea Whale King.
As he resurrected at Deloris town's temple, the players that were resurrected at the resurrection temple or just arrived at the teleportation point from other cities found Wil stood there standing in a daze.
Meanwhile, Wil was shaken to the core after looking at the two notifications, "two… two trillion of damage? Is that… the rumored overlord of the ocean, level-500 mythic grade beast? Ocean is scary indeed," but soon as the remaining notification arrived, his expression changed…
*Ding. Felix returned to pet inventory
*Ding. Your exp decreased by 7.9 million
*Ding. The Book of Destiny is dropped.
"My Book… Book of Destiny was dropped into the ocean…" Wil's face reddened and an angry roar escaped from his mouth, "you f**k**g damn Whale… I'll hunt you down to the ends of the world…"
Meanwhile, the players flinched and hurriedly run away from there, fearing that he will take out his anger on them after realizing his identity with that prince outfit on him.
Just then, he received a message from SnowDew, which made him almost forgot his rage as he read the letter with surprise.
"Hall of the Demi-Gods? Supreme Conqueror and Solar bypassed the barriers? Nah, that's impossible. There isn't an item that can do that."
Wil immediately sent a reply to SnowDew.
Time Traveler: I guess you might have landed in the neutral realm. There are a few places like them exist that were connected to all the kingdoms. As for Valkyrie, and Neo-Hybrid, I think they are just a different race.
After sending the reply to SnowDew, he mumbled with a frown, "Hall of Demi-gods, huh… I should go and take a look at it. Before that, I should find my book of destiny.
Even if it dropped into the ocean, I can find it with the bubble skill. Let's just use all the skill points on it to maximize it and hope that the Book wasn't swallowed by some legendary grade beast nearby. And if the worst thing happens…"
Wil's eyes turned cold as he tightened his fist, "it doesn't matter how long it takes. I'll massacre every oceanic beast if I have to find in the drops…"
Meanwhile, near the Marsh Islands;
A book was floating on the vast ocean without any direction following the flow of water. Suddenly, it started spinning around in a spiral direction as a large whirlpool appeared and slowly sunk along with several creatures on the way.
In the depths of the ocean where there is no speck of light, a small dark blue stone is sitting on the ocean bed at the source of whirlpool while absorbing all the water and heroic grade and lower creatures into it.
Slowly, as everything sucked into it, the stone started glowing in this pitch darkness, illuminating its surroundings while growing its size into a giant rock. After a while, as the book was absorbed into it, the rock started to change into a strange blue creature while the whirlpool disappeared.
Standing on the top of the ocean bed, it stared at its hands and feet for a while before mumbling, "What's this inside my head… Fireball… Gravity Suppression… Absolute freeze… Golem…
Are these my inherent abilities?"
It raised its hand towards the front and unlike Wil's that would freeze his surroundings, the ice released from its hand, froze hundreds of meters to the direction it was pointing in an extremely controlled manner.
A grin appeared on its face as it glanced at its hands, revealing sharp teeth, "this feels amazing. I wish to know who am I, what am I, what can I do, what do..." but then, all of a sudden, chains erupted from the ground and restricted all of its movements before its vision blacked out and then, turned into an unmovable glowing blue rock once again but with chains around it.
In front of it, stood a little girl in traditional clothes with an exhausted expression on her face. After checking nothing's wrong with the rock anymore, she mumbled, "I was right to place attention on him. Sigh… these humans with legend class are making me work too much, especially that Williard.
I already have enough with managing everything and now, new variables are arriving one by one. Maybe, I should ask Dr. Mac for assistants…
Although, I wonder how he knows about those two races. Strangely, he knows so much about the game… I should follow his movements more carefully… " Aria turned her head and looked towards a specific direction where Llyne kingdom is located far away…

Wular City, Eastern continent;
In the empty streets of the city of Wular, Luoyang was walking with exhaustion perfectly written on her face while carrying a heavy suitcase, feeling angry at her self, "what a dumb brain… How did I even think that the transport fees required will be the same as 12 years ago…
Forget about Yarlford, I didn't even cross half of the Eastern continent. First, I need enough money to get there. The money I have left can only save me from being hungry for one more day. Three at max, if I cut off my meals to once per day.
Big brother said it's easy to get a job in the city… I wonder if any stores are hiring…"
As her stomach rumbled again, she grabbed her stomach, "ugh… feeling hungry… Hmm…"
She stopped suddenly as her ears moved a little and concentrated on the sound she just heard, "help mmp..."
She looked around with a frown, "where is it?" As she closed her eyes, quickly, the sounds of the wind, chirping of the birds, or the sounds of vehicles on the road in another street, completely disappeared one by one and once again, she heard a light sound of "mmpf..." like the sound of someone that is shouting with all their strength but unable to do so as their mouth was closed for some reason.
Following the direction of the voice, she reached a dark alley that's three blocks away from where she saw two men are grabbing a young woman, who is in her early twenties while her dress was torn in several places.
As one of them closed her mouth tightly and grabbed her arm and the other one is about to commit the deed, all of a sudden, a large suitcase was hit on his legs and just when all three of them about to fell on the ground, losing their balance, suddenly, he felt jab on his neck and in the blink of an eye, a heavy kick was planted in his private parts and got crashed on to the ground before fainting.
"It's okay, you are alright, now."
Looking at the lady, who fell on top of one of them, Luoyang gave her hand to pull her up and comforted her for a while and gave her clothes from the luggage she was carrying before her stomach rumbled again…
