A tall figure in a red outfit stood in the waterfall mist. She had an earring upon her left ear, and a voice was coming out of it.
”Executioner Philip is dead,” said a deep voice on the other end.
”Oh, that's very disappointing!” the red figure replied calmly.
”The thing we wanted is being delivered to the destination.”
”Mmm, well done,” the red figure said.
”Should we send someone else to take out that guy?” the deep voice asked.
”It's fine, we can't really touch him for now, let's wait for another chance,” the red figure replied.
”But his strength has improved a bit too fast. Even Philip failed to take him out. I'm worried that he's going to grow stronger and become a greater threat to us. After all, he has Double Innate Elements. Once he reaches the Super Level, he will be almost unstoppable,” the deep voice said.
”Don't worry, I won't let him live until the Super Level!” Salan answered.
”Your words are a relief, you're just like Jörmungandr!”
”Jörmungandr? Maybe!”

The Atlantic Ocean seemed bluer than the Pacific. The water was like an ice mirror, clear and reflecting the sky and the white clouds when its surface was calm.
Tinuoaya was the prettiest, most mysterious city of Portugal. It was also the place where the Sea Hunters gathered. Almost every Hunter that was interested in exploring the Atlantic Ocean to search for treasure would gather here. Most of them would also spend all their fortunes here within a single night.
Be it the bars at the beach with lots of glamorous women, the noisy casinos, or the dueling grounds of the Mages, the place had all kinds of unending enjoyment!
It was only afternoon, the gentle sunlight shone down elegantly upon the surface of the ocean. The gentle waves were undulating like the edge of a dress...
A drunk old Mage sat on a wooden path leading off towards the ocean. It was like a wooden bridge, where many people would come at night just to cool off with the sea breeze.
The old Mage's face blushed as he kept mumbling to his friend, as if he was not satisfied with his friend's performance when they went out to the sea.
”I already told him, he has to hold the Water Barrier on his hand. If he wasn't so arrogant and actually listened to me, the Lightning Demon Fish won't have been able to escape!” the old Mage grumbled.
The man beside him was his comrade. He was middle-aged, with a thick beard. He did not drink much. Trying to comfort his friend, he replied, ”But you shouldn't kick him off the team like that. You know how difficult it is for us to get a team together. We are all here to hunt Sea Monsters for the money, don't be so hard on yourself.”
The old Mage, Kanter, clenched his teeth furiously. He was about to say something when he saw a huge ivory ship on the water.
He was very drunk, he was able to see multiple ships stacked on top of one another as they slowly approached the city.
”How big is that ship!? I thought Tinuoaya City didn't allow huge ships to dock at its port?” the man with a beard blurted out.
