The sea snake named Stan climbed up the island and opened his mouth. He was laughing like crazy while slaughtering the residents of the island. He was chewing the human beings like bubble gum.
“Run… Vella…” A wizard pushed his granddaughter towards the land. He released an unbelievably strong force—it almost looked like the girl was flying in the sky like a rocket.
“Grandpa! Let’s leave together!” The girl was surprised. She tried to return to the old man, but there was nothing she could do.
The old man and the other wizards watched the girl fly in the sky.
“Master, you should leave. We’ll try and stop the snake!”
“Yeah, we’d never become formal wizards without you, Master! It’s time for us to pay you back!”
“As long as Vella is alive, we still have…”
Suddenly, they stopped talking.
The wizards watched Vella’s body being stopped by a thin blue barrier. It looked like the barrier was created by water; they could see that there were small sea snakes moving in the fluid.
“Sea Snake, Stan!” The old man’s voice was trembling. He closed his eyes slowly and realized that Stan had put up the barrier to stop them from escaping. They were all trapped inside the barrier.
Desperation filled up the wizards’ eyes.
Stan watched the scene and laughed.
“You have nowhere to go… Do you know why we come back to slaughter you every once in a while? You’re like pigs to us, we’re here just to eat! That’s the fate of the creatures in a weak realm like this!”
Suddenly, a red ray and a blue ray appeared outside the water barrier; they came from the side of the island, and it seemed like the blue ray noticed the situation. It flew to the island, and the red ray followed after it. The energy waves released by the blue ray were identical to the energy waves released by the merfolk for some reason.
Stan noticed the two rays and started laughing again.
“Another piece of meat! This one is chasing after a merfolk, ha.” Stan teleported into the sky and separated the red ray and the blue ray.
“Ah, fresh meat!” Stan was excited after checking the situation.
“Fool!” The red ray was blocked for a second and was enraged. A humongous black claw appeared in the sky and slapped the sea monster hard.
*BAM*
Stan was slapped by the claw like a fly. He fell into the sea and did not come back.
The giant claw released some terrifying dark smoke and the space around the cloud twisted. There were souls screaming and groaning in the dark smoke. People in the area were all scared by the horrifying sounds they heard.
The dark claw disappeared into the sky after Stan was blown away. The red ray started chasing after the blue ray again.
The wizards and apprentices were surprised by what just happened. They just stood there and watched the red ray and the blue ray leave the sky. The two rays quickly disappeared into the air.
“Where’s the monster?!” someone questioned.
A wizard who survived the attack flew to the area where the monster fell into the sea. He found a part of the monster’s body—there was still blood spurting out of it.
“It ran away!” the wizard shouted; he was so surprised that he could not believe what just happened.
“The monster is gone!”
The others heard those words and quickly moved to him. They hesitated for a second and picked up the body part of the monster.
They could not believe that the monster was gone, but they were happy that someone took the monster out.
“The monster is gone! We survived!”
They survivors by the beach started cheering; other people started cheering as well after they heard the noise.
The old man and his students were also surprised. They felt relieved and that their burden was gone. The wizards sighed with mixed emotions after they picked up the monster’s body part and confirmed that the monster was gone.
Vella flew back to the island and jumped into her grandpa’s arms. She was crying like crazy.
“Don’t worry, girl, we’re safe now…”
The old man patted the girl’s back and looked at where the two rays disappeared.
“The master that passed by saved us; we should remember that. I hope we have a chance to pay him back…”
The girl leaned to the side and looked at the sky as well. She was flying in the sky and had the chance to see the man inside the red light.
“I doubt he would visit this area again… He’s so strong that it almost felt like he doesn’t belong to this world…”

“Oh, lord, oh, god, someone, help me! Boston, Anger, Ram, someone!”
“Ah!”
The monster was screaming in pain while saying random words. / update by
The sea monster lost one eye and one foot. Its tail was severely wounded, and its body was covered in sticky blood. The monster was screaming like a crying kid.
The monster was in so much pain that if there was anyone around, he would feel sad for this humongous snake. Sadly, the monster was the only one here.
There was black smoke coming out of the wounds on his body. The black smoke formed ghost masks, which were chewing the snake’s flesh. They were the reason why the wounds were not healing.
“Oh, my lord! Anger, you f*cking b*tch! You told me that this was a weak realm and said that no one here could damage me! You f*cking son of a b*tch! Anger, all your family members shall die in pain! Ah! Someone, help me! Mom!”
The snake was screaming and crying. It sounded like the monster was about to collapse.
Finally, the snake noticed that something was in front of him. He saw that a shark was approaching him slowly using the last eye he had.
The shark had five mouths; the sharp teeth in its mouths looked unorganized. It almost felt like that the shark’s teeth were taken from someone else.
The snake saw the shark and charged toward it like crazy.
“Ram! Help me!”
The shark saw the snake as well but it looked surprised.
“Stan? What happened to you?”
***************************
*CHI*
The blue ray and the red ray almost turned into a straight line. They were still flying over the sea.
They passed by the surface of the sea, making the fish in the water quickly move away.
“Stop running. I think you know that you’ll run out of energy in half a month. You’re already converting your soul into energy. I just need you to help me with my research. It’s not like the end of the world, you know,” Angele shouted.
Angele was getting impatient. He’d already spent a lot of time chasing the man. The power of time was important but he still needed to go to the underground world and he did not want to waste too much time.
“Why don’t you just stop going after me?” the man responded in a light voice. He did not want to waste energy on increasing his voice, but he made sure that Angele could hear him.
“You’re testing my patience.” Angele’s brow furrowed. “I wanted to work with you and this could have ended peacefully. I’m changing my mind… but I’ll give you one more chance. If you stop running and work with me, I’ll still let this slid. I can swear on my ancestor’s name.”
The man hesitated for a second after hearing those words. However, his body trembled after he thought of the scene the power of time showed him. He did not respond and continued to fly.
“Damn it! Now you’re asking for it!” Angele lost his patience. However, the man made the right choice—Angele was just lying to him. He just wanted to save some time and never cared about his ancestor. Angele would dissect the man’s dead body once the man stopped. He knew that he needed the information of power of time. The man was not an ancestor, and this made everything easier.
The conversation ended here and they started flying at full speed again.
Half a month passed quickly.
Angele chased the man for a total of two months.
The blue light had completely disappeared from the man’s body. The light was replaced by something that looked like translucent water. It was the man’s last resort. The power of a thousand-year-old soul.
Angele was still flying at full speed. It felt like that he had endless energy to use as the red light around his body was still intense.
‘He’s using the power of his soul. I need to find a way to slow him down!’ Angele already tried many methods to slow the man down, but he dodged everything. It seemed like the power of time helped the man predict Angele’s movements. The traps Angele created all did nothing. Angele decided that he needed to capture the man no matter what happened after witnessing the power of time.
Suddenly, the man charged into the water when Angele was still thinking.
Angele followed after him and charged into the sea as well.
It seemed like the man had a new direction. He was moving to the deep sea; it seemed like he found a way to survive.
Angele knew that something was happening, but there was nothing he could do.
They reached the deep sea quickly and the man charged into a deep fissure. Angele was still following him.
Several minutes later, they reached the end of the fissure and saw a humongous bone altar. There was a floating ball above it. It seemed like the ball was the entrance to a different realm.
‘Dimension tunnel?! Why is there a dimension tunnel here?!’ Angele had a feeling that if he could not capture the man this time, he would never be able to find him. Also, the man was swimming to the dimension tunnel at full speed and the energy waves he released were identical to the energy waves released by the merfolk.
“Who’s there?!” the merfolk guarding the altar questioned.
