“Chapter 286: The Sage of the Sea”

– May I ask what your business is here?

– We were trying to mine Unbreakable, but we ran into an irregularity.

– Ahh, once again you prove to be a bothersome one.

This is my second time meeting her.

The first one was when Rifaiv, Milligan and I asked her for help reviving Ever.

– Diine-san, what are YOU doing here?

– Those snakes… They’re called Dark Jerks. Many other beasts from the border, including them, have mobilized their habitats into these waters. I have been investigating the source of this phenomenon.

And she just happened to find us in the middle of our escape.

Who knows what would’ve happened to us if she didn’t come to our rescue?

Come to think of it, where is Ralph?

– Rest assured, the golden child is unscathed.

– What?

A yellow light blinked in front of me.

Ralph was standing behind me before I noticed his presence.

In his hand was the head of the dark jerk.

– I’m glad you’re okay, Takaya. You have my thanks, curly-haired madame.

– I would appreciate it if you used my actual name. This is our first meeting, but I believe we both have heard stories about each other, correct?

– Yeah. Your beauty is not exaggerated, haha! I’m Ralph.

– …Fascinating? Anyways. We must hurry before that dark jerk summons more of his friends.

– I heard a deafening ringing in my ear when I killed this guy. How many of them are there?

– Nearly a few dozen, I assume. Ranging in different sizes.

One of them being the serpent we left behind with the kraken ink.

These are magical beasts from the boundary. Even a bunch of Ralphs would have a hard time holding them off.

– Allow me to teleport us to safety. My temple is protected against these creatures.

– Could you take us back to land? Like Bay Road?

– I would be glad to. The dark jerks have caught trace of your smell. If you so wish to turn the coast of Bay Road into an electrical inferno, I am happy to oblige.

If dozens of these things charge into Bay Road it would be over for everyone…

– I think it’d be better for us to stay underwater. (Ralph)

– Alright. (Takaya)
