Chapter 226: New Continent
"So, we’re going there with this." Gin smiled as he and Albert finally reached the shore, finding all the candidates from the other kingdoms.
Everyone immediately furrowed their eyebrows and turned their attention to Gin, glaring at them. After all, they were the last ones to arrive.
"It’s been a while, Gin." The Saintess was the first one to approach them.
This might be the first time Albert met with all the braves, except for the hero who didn’t seem to be here. Because of his previous conduct and personality, they were afraid that their cover would be blown away. Hence, it was necessary to exclude the hero from this expedition.
Albert looked at the Saintess and nodded to her.
"I have never thought that I would see a living meme here... I don’t mean to be rude of course... I am simply too shocked." The Saintess waved her hand with a smile. She seemed to have a carefree personality that didn’t care much about others’ opinions.
"It’s an honor to meet you. By the way, which country did you hailed from?" she then asked without hesitation.
Even Albert was surprised by her character. He decided to shake his head and said, "It’s better to head there first."
"Right?! The trip will take a while after all."
Albert then glanced at the other candidates before closing his eyes, realizing his level was the highest among the candidates. He could see some strong people, but they were still not at his level.
They were at most equal to Gin, without the slime king or the salamander. After all, the slime king had entered Gin’s body to hide while the salamander had turned into a small red lizard that stuck on his shoulder. If they helped Gin, Gin should be equal to him.
Still, he got an especially bad gaze from the Pride Kingdom. It seemed they had sent their princes for this infiltration. And considering he was the one training Yale to the point his existence could easily threaten them, it was normal to receive this gaze.
However, Albert wasn’t a petty guy. As long as they didn’t make a move first, he wouldn’t pay attention to them.
Gin already said to him that the continent they were going to revered the strong. If he could become strong enough, there was no one going to refute him.
Still, it wouldn’t hurt to take a note of people who wanted him. At the very least, he remembered their faces and identities.
Now that they had gathered, the Leviathan suddenly appeared in the middle of them as he opened his mouth, grabbing their attention.
"Alright, everyone. Since we’re going to have a long journey, I hope that you don’t have any sea sickness... I will personally escort you guys to the other continent to make sure there’s no sea creature attacking you. If you have said your goodbye, follow me."
They exchanged looks and immediately followed him as soon as he turned around. He approached the sea as there seemed to be a few huge monsters in the sea.
But when they took another look, the monsters turned out to be whales. They had a flat top so that everyone could step on it, including Mu Yanxue who was going to be their guide.
In the end, they used three whales to carry them with Mu Yanxue standing next to Albert since Lilith had used her Charm Spell to make Albert her master. This way, Albert’s order was absolute.
The rest of the fishes seemed to be scouting ahead, making sure no one spotted them or the infiltration mission might fail.
"It’s nice, like using a speedboat. If only there’s a roof under our head, it will surely become a yacht." Gin smiled, enjoying the sea.
It had truly been a while since he last visited the sea. The nostalgic smell as well as the clapping sound of the wave made him forget this was another world.
"It’s truly nice." Gin laid on his back and looked at the sun. "Despite basking under the sunlight, I don’t feel hot at all. I guess the uniqueness of this world prevents me from sunburn. How nice..."
"Well, the journey will take at least a day according to Mu Yanxue. It’s better to enjoy while you can." Albert shrugged. This was the first time he had gone to the sea, but it didn’t seem to excite him much.
"By the way, I have prepared your name, Teacher. Since we’re going to the cultivation continent, it’s obvious that we need a name to suit it. I have even prepared for our trip to the murim continent.
"Your name should be Bo An. I don’t know, I picked the name that resembles your Bonk’s sound. If we’re going to the murim continent, you should be Park Bongsu." Gin smirked.
"..." Albert’s eyebrows couldn’t help but twitch before gently chopping Gin’s head. "What the heck are you saying?"
"But we need a name to be there." Gin looked at him weirdly.
"Well, we and your companions seem to be able to understand everyone’s language, right? Doesn’t that mean it’s translated randomly by the world?" Albert asked, reminding him about the translation feature. "If that’s the case, even if I call myself Albert, in those people’s ears, it will ring differently to those people. That’s why there’s no need for a name."
"But..." Gin looked down. He was excited to role play about this, but it seemed Albert didn’t want to go along with it. He ended up sighing. "Fine. But you will need to wear the cultivation clothes as soon as we reach there. After all, we need to match their culture.
"Also, don’t forget that they’re often refer to themselves from a third-person like "This Elder", "This Young Master", "This Great Me", or whatever that sh*t. So, don’t feel weird when you hear it.
"It seems talking that way makes them look like a venerable or someone with a high status. So, you can start using that as well.
"Other than that, I will inform you when we reach there." Gin finished his explanation.
"Okay, okay. Anyway, you can come up with their names instead, considering they’re going to need it." Albert pointed at the people other than the braves. After all, they would need to learn their language as soon as possible.
Although the cultivators they captured had given them a lesson about their language, they still needed to practice it to avoid the suspicion, especially in their pronunciation and accent.
"They had gotten their own names and lessons. I can’t do it anymore." Gin sighed.
"Was that the reason you approached me?" Albert looked at him before shaking his head.
"Whatever. I will just stay silent and formulate the plan for our trip." Gin harrumphed and sat down with a pout. He seemed to be planning on how to infiltrate the sect without causing a huge ruckus because of Albert’s lack of common sense.
After a few hours, Mu Yanxue suddenly stood up and pointed at the barrier. "There’s a powerful Spiritual Energy ahead. That should be the barrier. The barrier has a crack in which the Spiritual Energy flows out, so it’s easy to spot."
Albert heard it and asked, "Do you hear it?"
"Of course." The Leviathan replied while focusing his sense toward the barrier.
He soon realized that there was a change in the Magic Power’s flow. It turned out he had reached the edge this whole time, but this spinning Magic Power confused them to the point they were lost in the middle of the sea.
That was why they never found another continent.
"So, that’s how it is. If it’s not for the crack in the barrier, we won’t find anything about this Magic Power’s flow... I see. So, that’s how it is." The Leviathan smirked as he released his Magic Power.
Suddenly, the sea rose, forming a huge wave like that of a tsunami.
"This is..." Gin widened his eyes and took a look at the bottom, realizing they were a hundred feet above the water. Instead of riding the wave, they were on top of the wave.
"The wave has become a path?"
"So, this is the power of the Demon King Leviathan."
Many were surprised by his power, but the Leviathan ignored them as he followed the movement of the Magic Power.
He pinpointed the hole location and sent their whales out of the barrier.
However, the barrier seemed to have a physical body even though it was transparent. The wave couldn’t pass the barrier, resulting in them free falling to the water below.
"OOohhhh! Hang on!" Gin shouted as he started panicking.
*Boom!*
A few huge splashes on the waters caused the sea to rage for a moment. However, no one seemed to be missing so it was good news.
Still, the impact was truly strong.
"Ugh. My butts..." Gin was lying on his stomach while holding his butts.
Meanwhile, Mu Yanxue carefully carried Albert and put him down gently so that he wouldn’t be hurt.
"Hahaha. So, this is the real sea... It turns out we’re inside the aquarium this whole time!" The Leviathan laughed as he didn’t care about their injuries and marched forward, couldn’t contain his excitement for this exploration.
After a whole day, they could finally see the land on the distance. It was still small because they were far away, but the closer they were, the bigger the island. Before long, they couldn’t see any more sea on the horizon. It was clear that island was their target.
Without hesitation, the Leviathan sent a scout to check the island, making sure there was no people around the shore.
Meanwhile, his voice echoed to everyone’s ears.
"In fifteen minutes, we’re going to reach that island. For now, I have sent my subordinates to check the island to make sure no one is there. As much as I want to explore this island, I can’t do it due to my duty as a Demon King... I truly envy the people here for being able to explore this new land. However, finding the new continent alone should be worth celebrating, so I will just satisfy myself with that achievement." The Leviathan’s words were filled with unwillingness. Though, that was how he was talking this whole time, considering he was the Envy Demon King.
