Chapter 249 Seventh Floor
Once we one-sidedly defeated the 60th Floor Guardian of the dungeon, we eventually claimed our loot afterwards and received an orichalcum longsword, a relic-grade item. It might be useless for us, but it fetches a handsome amount of money if we sell it.
I got the corpse of the Sandworm as well, to make use of it. The body itself was terribly inedible and poisonous, so I would use it the other way. But its rows of sharp fangs actually consisted of copper. Since it came from a magical being, its properties were also magical, making it good for crafting high-quality materials.
After we claimed our loot, we continued our conquest and proceeded to descend deeper into the dungeon. The floors beyond the 60th were something very Hoenn, full of water.
These floors were apparently called Sea Floors and only the entrance and exit had small stone decks. The floors had a radius of seven kilometers and still had those tall walls surrounding them.
The depth of those seas was three kilometers, so marine life there was thriving. These floors were like huge fish ponds to me, to be honest. Almost the entire floor was covered with water, and going to the exit from the entrance was difficult.
The only safe way to cross the sea was by flying or levitating over it. One can swim, but one has to do it fast or else become fodder for the monsters swimming beneath.
As anyone could guess, the monsters lurking in those salty waters were obviously aquatic. The monsters here were getting stronger since the floors were getting nearer to the bottom, around Level 247 to 421.
We fought monsters to level ourselves up a little. Since Big Sis and I did not want to waste more time, we skipped fighting off the monsters by teleporting ourselves directly to the door and then descended to the next floor. As usual, the 70th Floor was always the same as every tenth floor: a ten-kilometer-radius prairie partially covered with snow.
"Here we are, Sis, on the Seventh Floor."
"Ah, yes, the same level as what Mom and Mother reached in the Imperial Dungeon back then."
We uttered each other a second after we landed in front of the doors of the Sea Floors Domain Guardian room on the 70th Floor, the same depth our parents had dove during their great adventurer days.
"So we already went this far, huh?"
"If we win this, will we be as great as our parents, Raphael?"
"Of course, Sis." I haughtily nodded. "We can actually be greater since we will attain what they have achieved way earlier than they did."
"Hmph. We only do it because we have been skipping fighting the monsters."
She was right. While most adventurers were struggling and doing their best, we siblings just chilled out and were effortlessly leaping between floors, avoiding any monster encounters. We would not have reached this depth without my instant teleportation abilities. But it did not matter how we got here; right now, we had to think about our next battle.
"Okay, Sis. Enough with the talks, let us beat this motherfucker already."
◆◇◆◇◆◇
Upon entering the so-called room, a large mass of water filled our vision. As expected, there was another biome on the same floor as the ten floors earlier.
"The sea is so tranquil, isn't it, Raphael?"
"Yeah. It is so calm, but still waters run deep." I responded to her. "A placid sea may conceal a terrifying entity."
"I guess you are right."
As we were having a chitchat, a dot suddenly appeared on my radar, and it quickly approached our direction. A moment later, ripples started to draw on the surface of the sea, and then something came up from the water a few hundred meters from us.
The thing that surfaced was the fin of the enormous sea monster, moving fluidly on the sea along with the monster. Since we were still on the deck at the entrance, the monster kept swimming around with only its fin visible.
"Hm. I expected it to be Scylla, the monster that our parents fought." Big Sis muttered. "But it's a shark, huh?"
"Yeah. It's even the evolution of the A-ranked Megalodon, a Gigalodon."

==========
Even though the monster was in the water, I could still get a clear picture of its appearance through my skills. From what I could perceive, the Gigalodon was a giant shark of monstrous size, around fifty meters from snout to tail.
Appearance-wise, it kind of resembled the great white shark—a black body with a white belly. But most of its body was covered with tough black scales, which provided a great amount of physical and magical defense.
So far, this Gigalodon was the strongest monster I had encountered in this dungeon. Based on its stats, its strength was its greatest weapon. Combined with its Power Bite, the output of its attack was surely terrifying. This monster would absolutely be every mariner's nightmare.
Speaking of its abilities, something was happening in the water above it. As it graciously swam around, mist began to form on the surface. It became thicker and denser until it completely obstructed our naked vision.
"It's going to attack, Sis."
"It is going to be my first time fighting a monster this strong after that lizard. But I am excited to see for myself how much I've improved."
Immediately after we got to our fighting stance, the mist suddenly went haywire, and something huge was hurriedly coming at us. It was none other than the massive mouth of the shark.
