Rain wore a full plate armor crafted from corals, covering his entire body. His helmet, in particular, had a design that only exposed his eyes, concealing the rest of his face. While this attire wasn't mandatory for the other guards, Seara chose to impose the same style on them, despite their not needing it. All for the sake of the disguise.
The helmet served a crucial purpose for Rain. It allowed him to manipulate the oxygen present in the water, extracting it to facilitate his breathing process. This adaptation, however, demanded significant concentration and focus from Rain. He had to acclimate himself to this new method of breathing, a task that requires considerable mental effort. It took a while to get used to it.
Rain felt almost like a fish without certain physical attributes—such as fins or other vital parts. He felt a bit bad for forcing the warriors to use the helmet as well, and he could sense their annoyance since they didn't know who he was.
"We are moving," Seara declared after she finished checking Rain's gear.
"... You have a lot of guards here. Why only half of them are women?" Rain asked.
"You don't have any reasons to be worried," Seara said.
"Why not?" Rain asked.
"Because I know how to control myself while you try to be nice to everyone," Seara said.
"That is sexism, and we live in an age where we should treat all genders equally," Rain said. "If they deserve it, it doesn't matter what they have or don't have between their legs, and I will punch them. I should make this blatantly clear to your guards if they try to act funny around you."
"You are really exhausting sometimes…" Seara said and then sighed.
As the sea folk prepared to move, they organized themselves into multiple battalions, each group strategically positioned for their advance into the sea. Rain's squad was among the last to depart, far behind Sealyn and Seadrei, who were situated nearer to the center of the formation since they were the commanders.
The sea folk moved with a sense of determination and coordination, their formations displaying a disciplined approach as they navigated the underwater realm. While Sealyn and Seadrei led the middle section, Rain's squad followed at a slight distance, while he was looking around, his visibility was low, but he could sense the levels of mana increasing…
"They are all coming from one direction… where is your tool?" Seara asked.
"It is following us from behind," Rain replied after he sensed the vibration of the water reaching his bones near his ears. "Talking like this underwater is rather weird."
"The others don't know you, so don't try to be so relaxed when you are talking to me," Seara said. "Finish your sentences with, Ma'am, yes, ma'am."
"You sure are liking this," Rain said.
Before long, the ocean waters began to get tense and move around violently. Even while he was thirty meters below the surface, Rain could feel the movements of the waves above. The squad kept moving until they reached almost the middle of the formation. They had around five thousand sea warriors, but they already could see Sealyn and Seadrei, but only a few dozen of soldiers were ahead of them.
"I can't see anything thanks to the darkness of the night and the density of the water… but it seems that everyone else can," Rain thought.
Magic Eyes didn't help and Rain couldn't do anything else… coming up with a new trick in the middle of such a situation was a bit too much. Fortunately, Rain soon realized what was going on, not on the best of ways… Rain saw a bunch of wounded soldiers already returning to the island.
"Things are about to get really messy…" Rain thought.
Eventually, Rain saw thousands of shadows approaching in the distance and the movement of the waves started to get even more insane. Before long, Rain was able to see most of the frontline being pushed away… at that moment, Sealyn and Seadrei decided to join the battle.
"That didn't take long…" Rain thought.
Seara made her squad move forward and soon they found a wall of monsters approaching and pushing the sea warriors… they were all leviathan dragons and they weren't joking around… they smashed the warriors left and right while ignoring their attacks that only took small chunks of their bodies.
"... Perhaps I shouldn't be so selective… and I need to help everyone get the bonuses of Parameter Boost. In the midst of Rain's thoughts about how he could provide assistance to the sea warriors, his attention was captured by Sealyn's swift and remarkable combat prowess.
As one of the leviathan dragons launched a vicious assault, attempting to crush her with its colossal tail, Sealyn adeptly employed her insane speed. It almost looked like the water wasn't getting on the way… and she was flying on the vacuum.
Sealyn's movements became a blur as she navigated around the dragon's body with incredible agility, moving at supersonic speeds. Her swift dexterity allowed her to weave and pierce through the beast's attacks, with grace and power passing through the thrashing tail multiple times without sustaining any injuries or damage.

"... Her spear absorbed dragons' blood for a while… what will happen if I touch that the next time?" Rain furrowed his eyebrows. "Nigel will probably gain a great deal of power and his memories too…"
Things got a more troublesome turn when all the blood clearly was being absorbed by the spear… Rain looked toward Seara while frowning, but she had no idea what he was thinking.
"... I should have warned her beforehand," Rain thought. "Well, not like any warning could have stopped her from using the spear against the dragons in the last one hundred years."
"The blood must be restoring her mana, I can't sense the power of the spear increasing," Nigel suddenly said. "Sorry for suddenly saying that, but it seems that thanks to our new neighbor, your restrictions weren't working as they were supposed to."
