Cole idly looked at the notification as he sat down right at the top of the tower, the wind was rough this high up as he looked over the sapphire sea. He had to figure out his next target. Since the dragon was already dead he had to find something else to slay, unfortunately the gold ranks he had faced in the dungeon did not count to completing his quest.

Never the less he had gained another asset and this time it was an army. The dungeon would also be good for training the people in his territory, making sure everyone had an opportunity to be stronger. It was great in the sense that having multiple dungeons under his control was enough to guarantee not just strength among his followers, but resources. Resources that would put them at the forefront of this multiverse race for power.

For now though the dungeon would remain here, once Cole leaves the fifth floor for the sixth they would be dragged into stasis, kind of like how it went on the fourth floor with Irma and her clan. For now though the only thing on his mind was how to take down Garudon, he already had all the prisms he needed for Garudon's quest, so it was time to move.

He did not take anything from Nimue's vault of treasures, the dungeon would need it or rather he had no need of any of them for now. He would have to return back to the third floor and deal with it then. But for now, that was just too much load to carry, and he already had enough on his plate as it is.

"Ravena weigh anchor and move out into the open waters, I will join you from above." Cole said as he stood up, feeling the wind blowing past his ears as he smiled. He really liked this floor, there was just something about it that Cole could not put his hands on. The ocean, the world itself, like it had a mind of its own.

He was not a water person, much less an ocean person. But he has recognized the importance water in the lives of all living things. But on this world, on this floor there was so much more to it. There was freedom, a sense of relaxation that if you just let go, you could float all the way to the horizon and see a better day. 

But that path was blocked to him, somehow Cole was too fundamentally different to connect with this world other than the base appreciation he had for it. Water just wasn't for him. He used [Gravity] blasting himself off the top of the tower/dungeon, his body streaking through the air as he came to a stop, then plummeted down with the speed of a warhead.

And just when he was about to make impact, causing devastating damage in the process he stopped, and his foot alighted softly onto the deck of Ravena. Cole felt the Dragon Ship's presence weighing heavily on his mind, as if to ask something, but nothing was said and Cole left it like that. This was not a time to talk, this was a time to push forward onto the next challenge.

"Take us back to Irgis, use a quicker route but take us danger infested waters, I will like to hunt everything I need to hunt, saving you old master for last. Think you can do that for me?" Cole asked as he made his way to captain's cabin, Ravena's answer floating in the wind to reach him.

"With Pleasure!"

This was a lot, a lot of growth, hell he got dexterity all the way to the ninth level, just at least a step below Garudon's stats. But still Cole had been cheating, his [Sin Eater] skill could take on a person's stats, their energy and in cases where the [Sin Reaper] version is also used, he activates [Soul Eater] and takes their souls.

Admittedly he has not really seen a use for souls outside of using them to power rituals and spells, but ultimately Cole could grow a lot faster than most. The gold rank was an area where growth was meant to slow down, the sheer disparity between the leveled stats of gold rankers even among their ranks was massive, so a person had to take a lot of time to grow.

It was not easy to get gold rank prisms from monsters, especially when you consider the fact that at the gold rank, normal prisms are not as effective in giving stats, but the named ones. And the named ones would only drop from opponents of significant power who are either equal to you in strength or have already surpassed you. It made progress extremely slow, and the sheer amount of stats needed to rank up.

By now Cole understood that the amount of stats he gets from using [Sin Eater] was way more than a prisms could give him, especially as the skill was now at such a high level attached to a gold rank stat. It would take more, squeezing every last drop of energy and potential from a person's body. This made him dangerous and overall it made this entire race unfair. Given enough time, Cole would be able to climb to the top of the mountain just by feeding on others.

Irgis now stood before them, but Cole was not even done with the notifications. His guns had been behaving weirdly before, not to mention that he still had to Look Over Black Malakai and see if the weapons had leveled up. He just could not understand why he would receive no notifications about it, until he actively tries to check the weapon. But be that as it may, it was time to get ready and go hunt a dragon.

"Ravena I am sure you are aware of the plan right? So don't waste any time…. dive, let's go rescue us some Gnomes."
