“Magic Missiles!”
*Boom! Boom!*
“Why these fuckers suddenly showing up after I disable my power!”
“Eek!”
A fight suddenly broke out after I disabled my powers, the creatures we were fighting were a hybrid of a seagull and pelicans. These fuckers are huge as fuck and it reminds me the one I killed using murim style punch. Even though we easily defeated them, the smell they emit is horrible! As if once they’re dead they smell rot as fast as possible. Once the fight concluded the book of animals responded to my question. Apparently Some of these birds have genetics where they rot immediately when dying. This nature of their body is to feed the bacteria and other tiny living beings which make the surroundings become more friendly to nature but horrible to the animals. They emit toxic substances and when living beings smell this kind of toxic substance. They will get many diseases and have a chance to get killed by it, talk about debuffs of a boss in a battle.
“Yuck! Can’t believe we killed the ones who emit toxins, it feels like a whole village of rats has been rotting for 4 days now!”
“E-eek!”
“Here let me block the smell.”
“Useless Magic: Odor Block!”
“Better?”
“Eek!
After that I place the bodies of these birds quickly from far away. When I came back, the water became black but it stayed on to that place where the birds died. Then despite being in a day light, the black substance from the water is glowing up. This is the sign that the bacteria here are munching on the remains of those birds. After that sight, we continue to explore the ocean.
“Wow! Can’t believe that the ecosystem here is much livelier! Too many colorful things and fishes!
Before we continue, we stroll first and in this part of the ocean is the habitat for the school fish and the juveniles and it is full of good things here, then we swim more and we see the sign for the normal fishes. Which means this place is the classic of survival of the fittest! When we entered the place, we saw different kinds of fishes and it was also full of predators. But all of the fish are predators as long as the prey fits in their mouth. We wander and some of the fish here are attacking us and think that we’re kind of a meal. I let Fortis fight those and the outcome is not favorable on his side apparently.
“Do you need help?”
“EEEK!”
“Okay!”
Murim Style: Basic Slash of the whole sects~
That slash is so powerful that Fortis is also swept by the force, thankfully I teleported him to my side, the fish he is fighting are dead and other fishes and living beings are munching the dead.
“Oops.. I think I need to control my strength.. Hehe.. sorry Fortis!”
Fortis looks to me as if it says “Really??” and then I give a treat to console him and he is not buying it but still forgive me nonetheless.
“The ocean is really vast, right Fortis?”
“Eek.”
We discovered many things here and can’t believe there is kind of Mini Cave here and it also a fucking dungeon!
“You know the drill Fortis!”
“Eek!”
We happily go to that cave and it teleport us in different place full of fucking monsters. These monsters are ugly as fuck as if they’re failed experiment. Then the dungeon gives us instructions to finish this dungeon, which is that we should not kill any monsters here. Which sounds ridiculous but I don’t make the rules so we walk calmly while they’re attacking us.

*Graaah!* (We are not ugly! You shit!)
*Arahgasdh* (We know that you called us Ugly!)
*AAAARGGHHHAAAA* (We’re not a failed experiment, you ugly being!)
“Is it me or are these monsters more aggressive? And it only attacks me..”
“Eek?”
“Anyway we should go to this place right? First is left, then down, then left again, to that side and right side, then straight..”
The place here is much more complicated and it has many traps as if we are in a dungeon crawler game. Also the monsters are increasing and they are only targeting me.. We also need to rest so I set up a temporary site and roasting some meat and grass. I notice that the monster also stops attacking me and focuses on the meat I roast.
“[I should roast more meat..]”
Thankfully The Aura of Peak Magician helped me to produce more meat. I think this feature is on the item? Or I just completely forgot? Anyway, I roast more meat and then I share a lot. The way these monsters munching is cute, not gonna lie. Then I strike a pose then I summon the pirates and I start to eat also.
After the meal, the monsters stop following us and they feel satisfied for some reason. We continue and when we arrive at the final location. It feels like a big stadium then we see the boss of that room. Big jelly type of a Monster and it leaks some goo and every time the substance touches the ground it has the sound of sizzle.
Before we even try to fight it, the dungeon wants us to feed this monster because the monster is in a state of starvation or something like that. While I’m preparing the meat and other ingredients. The boss is starting to attack us and I deploy a barrier. I give orders to Fortis to hold the boss as much as possible. Then I cast buffs on him with a barrier also.
I start to make a fire and make it like a manga meat and of course with the help of the aura of peak magician. I believe all of the meat I register here is becoming one and I don’t know how but I take it. While I’m busy here, I am simultaneously watching the fight between Fortis and the boss. This thing is for sure a strong one and without my support, Fortis will be defeated here but he is also adapting to the situation. Waiting for the meat to be done, and watching them, as if I’m watching on live MMA xD. Then for 5 hours they both fight straight and also the meat is done. I called Fortis and he abandoned the fight and the boss chased him but I threw the meat and then the boss caught it and ate it as if it hasn't been fed for millennia which may be true.
“How is the fight? Tough right?”
“Eek! Eek! Eek!”
“At least you get stronger Fortis, look at you, a rat that has become stronger!”
“EEEEEEEEK!”
“AHAHAHAAHAHA! Sorry-Sorry xD, anyway can you still move?”
“Eek!”
“Ok, time to collect our rewards!”
The dungeon congratulates us and makes a portal and it transfers us to a room. The room is simple and in front of us a big chest. We opened it and it gave us weapons and a pack of seeds. The dungeon explained to us that these are all materials to complete a world tree. Each of the weapons are imbued with power of the forgotten world tree. It also has instructions on how to grow a world tree from a barren land. I keep these things and head toward the exit.
When we’re leaving the dungeon, we see many people and all of them are beautiful people! The one who caught our eyes the most is the beautiful man. He waves at us and we also do that to him, now I’m thinking that these beautiful people are the monsters we feed.. Then the dungeon speaks to us as if they think what I’m thinking. It said that these people are the guardians of the fallen kingdom. They have a reason why they turn into a grotesque monster. I feel relieved that is the case. Before we went to the water again, the dungeon gave us a fluid of unknown medicine. This will help us in the near future or so. We bid farewell and we continued our journey.
“The ocean is beautiful right, Fortis?”
“Eek!”
"How many times did I say this again?"
"Eeeeek~"
“But despite its beauty, the horror only starts at the depth of the ocean. Look how it's getting dark.”
“Eek..”
“I’m detecting multiple large creatures and an island? This is news to me! Okay! Time to move!”
As we descended, I cast a light magic to make us visible to the monsters lurking in the dark, also to Fortis to see them. We encountered some of them from a jellyfish that was filled with dead fish, a giant squid missing 3 tentacles, A whale kind of animal where it was missing an eye. I was amazed by what I’m seeing but Fortis is a mix of amaze and nightmare but he easily adjusts to what he sees. As if he saw them on natural occurrences. Then the book of animals doesn’t require me to get those, which I find weird but nonetheless we continue to be amazed. Then I spot the island and before we even get to the island, multiple large entities are rushing on us.
“Yoooo! They’re really huge as fuck! Right, Fortis?”
“Eek~!”
They give a murderous aura as if they’ve been trained and they examine us. All of them are not moving because they haven’t found a clue if we are enemies or allies if I’m correct. Then I release a small amount of murderous aura and all of them are angry and ready to fight us. I quickly remove my aura and replace it with a friendly aura one. Then the beasts of the ocean calmed down, but they did not let us pass through. I still don’t know how to get past these creatures. Then I remembered that we have some fluid from the last dungeon. I present to them by releasing some small amount. Then the creature's behavior becomes docile or in a welcoming mode. They let us ride them by placing their head on our feet.
“[ They’re good to ride but the slimy feeling is so strong..]”
Then we saw the island and it was covered with thick magic spells which formed into a barrier. The island itself is straight from fantasy like from the sky cities or something in some novels or movies. It has sun, clouds, birds, trees, and so on.
“Well, time greet this place woohoo!”
When we get inside of it, the weather is super good, the freshness of the air, the warmth of the sun.. It is just so peak.. Then we saw a house made from brick and we saw that someone was cooking because of the white smoke. It could also be that they are just warming their home. We don’t rush towards the house, because it's a waste of energy if you don’t appreciate this place!
“Damn! You can even smell the freshness of the grass here! Right, Fortis?”
“Kyuu~!”
“Even your voice changes! Also the river here is crystal clear here! We can also see the fish here! That one is a big one!”
We really take our time here then we head to the house but we keep getting distracted in our surroundings! Here we have flowers and according to the book of plants, this one is a super super rare one, and can be used in any kind of products. Like poison, food, clothes, and so on. This one also, a green one which is good to tame an animal. Then I tested it with Fortis and he go krazy and high..
“So, a catnip? But versatile..”
Then I see a giant worm here, which the book of animals indicates that this worm can make farmland fertile and resistant to disease and pest when planted on the land where this worm previously plowed. The trees here also big as fuck, like they came around the time of the dinosaur. They release aroma and it can soothe the mind of one. According to the book, the other trees producing a variant of fruit called Cvaties, this fruit can make your sugar level normal for 1 month. But they are hard to cultivate because of how sensitive they’re. We looked around until we really decided to go to the house. Then a tall man opened the door and greeted us.
“Hello Miss Ayaka and Fortis, I've been waiting for you guys since you entered the domain of water.”
“Who are you?”
