Chapter 369 368. The Oceans.



With an audible gasp, that startled not only Dale, but also others around Hana, which she paid no heed to, as she jumped back on her feet as her gaze glimmered in a dangerous glint before being set ablaze.

An horrifying aura exploded out of her petite body, as she flexed her shoulders and kicked off of her chair, busting through the ceiling as her 3 meters long blazing wings flashed on her shoulder blades.

FLAP-!

With a strong flap, she shot out towards the dome which they had named "Oceans" due to the dungeon theme being an island surrounded by an ocean that stretched to the ends of the horizon.

She left a series of circular wind bursts as she flew towards her destination, like a rocket, without a care in the world.

Her already blazing gaze busted out circular flame bursts a few times, as it killed the blade-like winds slamming against her face and eyes which glared into the clouds clouding her gaze from reaching their destination, she gritted her teeth in displeasure because she could do nothing without destroying things around her, glaring at the innocent clouds hatefully, she sped up, helplessly.

'I'll kill you!' She thought inwardly, ignoring the clenching pain in her heart that seemed to want to stop beating.

A tear welled up in her eye, but the next burst of flame evaporated it.

It took her a few minutes to reach her destination as she subconsciously flattered in her speed of flight as the thoughts of how she would face him, and what she would upon facing him flashed in her mind, while also weakening her resolve.

Upon reaching there, she was dumbfounded to find Frostine already standing in front of the dome with a lazy expression on her face, yawning uninterestedly.

"You, how.... Forget it!" Hana muttered in a huff while still floating mid-air, then she dove right into the dome, ignoring Frostine, who followed her in soon after.

WHOOOOMMM-!

With a loud hum of them passing through the dense barrier of clouds, they arrived at the island, they gazed around in search of them, and

GIGGLE....

Gazing in the direction of the soft angelic voice's giggle sounded, they found a white-haired couple, who instead were gazing at the beautifully itched ocean's never-ending horizon as they chatted, relaxingly, with their feet laid out towards the ocean, whose waves caressed them gently, as the woman sat in front of the man, who in response had hugged her from behind, lovingly.

Gazing at such a beautifully love dipped scene, hers and Frostine's stomachs churned, while the latter felt confused at her nameless emotions, which should have been replaced by her happiness. Though she didn't know what to call them, she knew that it definitely wasn't happiness, as she didn't really feel happy by looking at her master in "his" arms, at all.

"Esh.... Isha...." Hana called out. She wanted to call out Eshwar, but she forced herself not to, while she kept her jealousy at them and her confusion dyed hatred at him well-hidden within herself.

GIGGLE.....

But,

She was ignored.

SHE WAS IGNORED!

She calmed her raging emotions, gritted her teeth, and "..... What are you doing here?" She mumbled under her breath, knowing they could clearly hear her.

"Waiting...." H...He said.

'Why did he have to speak out....?' Hana lowered her head, trembling, while she kept her thoughts to herself.

"... Waiting for who?" Frostine, who had came in terms with her nameless emotions, asked.

"Who else but you?" Eshwar's voice, which had been sounding from behind since their arrival, answered her with a question.

Hearing his answer, they turned silent, as both of them felt a subtle hint of butterflies in their stomachs, Frostine found it funny that her stomach was ticklish, while Seo Hana was annoyed at herself for feeling happy and anticipating something, as he answered.

"..... What are you here for?" Seo Hana asked in a hoarse, cold tone.

"Hmm? Hahahaha, why would one ever enter a dungeon? To hunt the beasts in it, of course." Eshwar replied, chuckling as if he was one stating the obvious.

Hana gritted her teeth, which in response made a creaking sound as if they would shatter.

"..... You have entered unauthorised, please get out." Hana muttered, formally.

"And why would I do that?" Eshwar's sarcastic remark sounded, rippling in Hana's consciousness, which seemed to be on the last rope.

"..... Please get out, if you do not have the [Notice]...." Hana repeated herself in a roundabout way, still speaking formally.

"Say. Why do I need one again?" Eshwar's voice sounded in front of them this time, where Isha's and Eshwar's physical bodies were seen.

"..... You have to get one, if you want to ente-" Hana began to explain, but was cut short by Eshwar.

"Haven't I already entered? There didn't seem to be any requirement like that." Eshwar rebuked, just as Hana was about to react to his words, he continued.

"And by the looks of it, I'll just have to wait for a bit, and it wouldn't be long before they wander out of here anyways." He said, as if he disappointed about something.

"... Wha-" Hana spoke out in outrage, but just as she was about to roar at him, he continued to speak.

"You alone, sadly, won't be enough to even put up a fight against a God, even in "that" form of yours."

"Even I myself wasn't able to defeat a God, back when I destroyed the Elven Kingdom." Eshwar stated, and that put a full stop on Hana's uproar, that had yet to burst out.

She could clearly understand what he was saying. Considering the level of his strength back then, which was on a different level of its own, Hana was a bit sceptical now, the level of urgency and danger had increased by whole another level from the information she just received. There were only a very few people that could reach Eshwar's that level of destruction's output, and remembering his words again, she understood that he wasn't able to defeat a God even though he was that strong.

But, was there any God at that time.....

While that thought flashed in her mind, as if reading them without them even being voiced,

A voice answered her query, "It was me. He's talking about me." An angelic voice from before sounded right next to her, which made her shudder in reflex and forced her to jump back.

Seo Hana gazed at Isha warily, who instead pouted as she gracefully walked towards Frostine, who stood dazed ever since Eshwar answered her, cheekily.

"Frosty!" Isha called out delightfully as she rushed and hugged Frostine, as Hana's gaze abruptly landed on the "divider" that seemed to separate both of their bodies, from hugging each other entirely. Of course, it was merely her own insecurity which involuntarily made her look down, at her own figure, under the gaze of someone she wanted to kill ever since that Q and A, if it could even be called that in the first place.

"I can help you with that~" A polite voice sounded next to her, although the voice was polite, it made her soul shudder in horror.

The scenery of Frostine slightly bowing her head to get a love dipped patting instantly changed to that of an devilishly handsome, white-haired man's face, as his bright orange eyes with vertical pure white slits expanding out into the irises glazed at her, smiling.

Taking a step back as her mind gears spun at top gear in search of an excuse that let her escape the situation, he forced her into.

"What about the behemoth!!" Seo Hana asked in loud roar as her breath turned laboured.

"Oh! Him?" With an understanding nod, Eshwar raised his hand, and

SNAP-!

With a snap of his fingers,

CRA-CRACK-!!!

SHATTER-!!

What seemed to be a beautiful reality, shattered, as dense, chunks of pure and strange power broke down and fell onto the island's ground.

DHOOOOM-!

DHOOOOM-!

It was then that the sounds of the behemoth's land trembling steps began to be heard ear deafeningly.

'You alone, sadly, won't be enough to even put up a fight against a God, even in "that" form of yours.' Her own version of Eshwar's "mockery" dyed voice sounded in her mind, she her back leaned back with her shoulders flexed.

"RAAAAAA!!!" With a loud yell, Hana shot out towards the behemoth, as her wings sprung out of her shoulder blades as her hair turned golden, set ablaze in the flames of the phoenix, a divine beast, which she had become thanks to Eshwar, whom she hated with the entirety of her being.

She closed the distance between herself and the behemoth in an instant, the disgusting stench of the behemoth was enough to make her dizzy as her magic power began to circulate violently, but was still under her control, due to which she understood it won't be long until she lost it.

"AAAAAAAA!!!" She pulled back her right hand, which had clenched into a fist,

"HAAAAAAP!!!" With a thunderous roar, Hana punched at the behemoth, hoping to relive her rage upon beings such as the behemoth, because she couldn't do the same to those, who her rage was directed at.

An ear deafening, wind pressured explosion clouded the entire upper body of the behemoth who was target of the rage that should have been directed at someone else. With a satisfied smile on her face, she glanced back to notice the disbelief dyed expression on his face, but noticing the calmness in his face, she finally understood that something was wrong, and it was revealed before long.

The cloud clouding the behemoth's upper body disappeared, revealing the unscathed monster that had a bright, undamaged, blue mana skin above its already thick skin.

It brought its face closer to the woman, who had not only dared to approach it, the woman had even dared attack it! With a sharp, deep inhale,

"OOOUUAAA... OOOOUUAA.....OUUUOOAAA!" The behemoth's rippling howl resounded throughout the dungeon. "Rippling" because players weren't built to be able to clearly hear such a high pitched and loud voice.
