Chapter 1127: A New Skill
I opened the grimoire, runes flowing out of it, flying into my soul, and imprinting their power into my own.
For a moment, I felt a new power surge from my soul, being born from it, and growing larger and larger.
I could sense the waves of the sea, the raging ocean, the animals of the deep ocean, and the many guardians it once had.
Sea Dragons.
Ocean Titans.
Was this vision made by the grimoire or something else?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
They were looking at me with smiles, somehow expecting something out of me.
"Into you we entrust a small piece of our ancestral legacy."
"Free them from their endless nightmares."
"You're the only one that might be able to save the oceans now..."
They kept talking, but I didn't understand what they even meant!
What's going on right now?
I can't free myself from this illusion, or dream, or whatever it is!
"You, who has taken my Throne..."
A Titan with clear blue skin, a long white beard, and fish scales over his arms, legs, neck, and more glared at me with his emerald-colored eyes.
His bald head and muscular appearance gave him the look of a powerful grandpa, tremendous in might and appearance, and with a tattooed body resembling the waves of the ocean and the deep-sea monsters.
"I entrust on you my first and last request, as the Father of all Ocean Titans, Oceanus."
"Y-You're...? Wait, am I in the Titan Records?"
No, it can't be, there are Dragons here too!
So what is this place?
"Please, bring them the peace they deserve... And take upon you the fallen star. They might be the very key to finally save our world, which we lost to them."
Although the "always be underwater" thingy is annoying, its perfect for now!
Though, will I ever need the extra boost? I'm so strong right now...
...
Wait, well, maybe.
I mean, I still got almost killed by Sloth, so I have to rethink my cockiness a bit.
Maybe I am getting too ahead of myself just because I killed two Gods.
There are certainly a lot of overpowered monsters everywhere, I have to be careful and
cautious.
But not too paranoid either.
There was a time when I was much weaker, chased around, and often just kept running away.
I am no longer running away this time though, and that is not changing even if I realize I've
been being a bit reckless lately.
Anyways, time to sleep and train while in the Shadow Realm!
And so, the hours went by, and as I analyzed my new abilities and also existing skills, the next
morning arrived.
No anomalous changes yet, no attacks either, the King of the Depths remained silent.
But that alone was also unnerving and weird.
As we finished eating breakfast, I quickly prepared the groups.
Yes, I was going to divide this into two groups.
One was staying and protecting Aquarose, the other was coming with me to kill the monster in
question.
Not everyone liked that, but this was my method.
