    "ROAR! RAARR!"


    She was kind of trying to tell me something, but I couldn''t quite get it. She had grown stronger since ourst meeting though, she was getting closer to achieving Rank 9 by now, and her young was already Rank 7?! I think it was born at Rank 6, so it grew so strong in this little time! It probably did by eating a lot of divine monster meat her mother captured for him to feast on.


    "G R A A H H…"


    The Leviathan looked back at me and then with the tip of her tail, pointed at the giant ship.


    "Yeah this is my ship, it''s a giant vessel made of primordial ice." I said, trying to talk with her.


    "G R R R H H H…"


    B A A A A M!


    She tested it by mming it with her tail a bit, but she quickly realized it was too hard to even break against her might.


    "Hey you''re having fun talking with your new fish friend?" Asked Bedann.


    "Oh, that''s the one you fought back then… She really gave us a pain in the ass- Wait a second, can''t she control Sea Monsters?!" Miranda asked.


    "She indeed can. She used to be like a Dungeon Boss herself, but she''s pretty intelligent, isn''t she? I don''t think I could tame her like a monster though, she also has Water Dragon Bloodline." I said, exining things to the girls.


    "Beeg fish! Tasty?" Wondered Bedra.


    "Yum, yum?" Kate asked innocently.


    "No it is not for eating!" Said Hector''s daughter. "Your papa is fwends with it!"


    "Yeah, like she said." I agreed.


    "So why are you here?" I wondered, asking the big fish in front of me.


    Or well, the sea snake. Checking her status, she was just as big and strong as I remember her. The wounds I left on her body were already healed and barely anyrge scars were left behind. She had an insane self-regeneration ability.


    "G R R H H H H…!"


    She looked into the skies, as her little son began swimming around her, roaring adorably. Then, it began sshing around, jumping, and ying.


    After thinking it for a little while, I realized what she was trying to tell me.


    She was migrating!


    Migrating in all living beings in normal, especially animals and monsters.


    They run away from a specific season, usually winter or something, to move to areas where it hits less, or where they can withstand it better.


    I guess the sea is an enormous open field, so she can just swim across it all to reach a safer area for winter, which seems to be what she''s swimming away from.


    "She''s migrating. It seems she likes the more calid waters of Muspelheim at this time of the year, where winter''sing strong." I exined to my family. "Her little pup''s rather anxious, Bedra, Kate, you can go y with him, but be gentle not to hurt him."


    "Oway!" Bedra excitedly jumped into the sea, and Kate as well.


    The little sea snake, which wasn''t little at all, being as big as fifteen meters, noticed the two of them, and began chasing them down, opening his sharp jaws and giving powerful yet yful bites. My daughters began swimming around with him, throwing water bullets to each other.


    S P L A S H!


    S P L A S H!


    S P L A S H!


    "Uwaah… Looks like a lot of fun…" Hector''s daughter looked down into the sea feeling slightly left behind. She wasn''t as strong as my daughters, in fact she was a Mortal at Rank 2, so jumping into the waters was aplete no for her.


    Giving her divine power just to y would be too much… And her body might not handle it as she''s still growing. The dragon crest she has will eventually help her reach godhood pretty easily as long as she trains hard and grows healthy.


    "Don''t worry, they''lle back soon." I said. "Also, your mom and dad are calling you."


    "Elisa! Come!"


    "Elisa, why are you staring at the sea so much dear?"


    "Oh!"


    The little Elisa ran back towards her parents, while I nced at the little girls ying with the Leviathan''s son.


    "GRRHH…."


    She nced her son y around, she didn''t seem to mind my children there, and recognize them as my pups as well.


    "She seems amicable, I wonder if we could tell her to stick with us through the trip?" Wondered Bedann.


    "Hmm… if we could ask her to carry our boat in the water, plus Charlotte''s unique skill… wouldn''t we be able to move even faster? Wait, if she calls the sea monsters to obey her, then it could be even easier!" Miranda said.


    "I don''t think I could ask her to get wrapped around chains to carry a massive ship, wouldn''t it be more like very?" I sighed. "More importantly… She seems to have noticed something."


    "GRRRH… ROAAR!"


    Leviathan looked into the far distance, her eyes glowing brightly as she seemed to have sensed something… ominous and dangerous.


    SPLAAAAASSSHH!


    TRUUUMMM…!


    And the whole ship suddenly stopped moving out of the blue, as the sound of the sea sshing furiously echoed around our surroundings. A gigantic, red-colored tentacle emerged from the depths of the sea, slowly entangling itself around the ship''s body.


    "ROOOOAARRRR!" The Leviathan roared fiercely, confronting the beast that had showed up.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    When we nced it, we were all left slightly surprised, it was one massive octopus, and it wasn''t a normal one at all either but a Rank 8 Middle Stage monster?! Its size alone easily reached over a hundred meters of height, looking down at the entire ship and its crew, us, with its big and beady eyes as the beast surged from the ocean''s depths.


    "GRUUUOOOOOOOOOOHHHH!"


    Its roar was furious and loud as hell, its dozens of tentacles quickly reached us, attempting to attack us with everything they had!


    CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!
