The weather was nice, and the battleship didn’t encounter any storms or turbulence yet.
Right now, the nightly breeze was lightly blowing against the ship, and the bright Moon was hanging in the sky, spreading the moonlight onto the land and the ocean.
The temperature was lower in the evening, but Fei didn’t mind it since he was a mighty warrior.
Some fishes that Fei didn’t know the name of would jump out of the water randomly, and birds chirped and flew by while their white wings made it look like bolts of white lightning were flashing in the night.
The nightly breeze contained a lot of water elements, and it was warm and moist, making people feel very comfortable.
Seeing Fei walking out, Torres who was practicing archery on the deck quickly walked over and reported what happened during the day to the king.
Since the sailors who were operating the battleship were captured Leonians, and the guide was the bigger captive Buckingham, the Chambordians couldn’t lower their guards.
Therefore, when Fei was training in his own room, Torres oversaw everything with help from the nine university students. Fei’s other guard, Husky, was in charge of looking after the kitchen, the food, and the workers there.
This was the first day on the sea, and the ship didn’t activate its magic cruising array under the king’s command. Therefore, the speed was low. Except for running into a few merchant ships, nothing unexpected happened.
The captives of Leon were quite obedient, and King Buckingham also put away his stubborn and incorporative attitude. With this experienced commander of the navy of Leon guiding the way, the battleship moved forward smoothly and didn’t run into any issues.
In the evening, Fei and the students enjoyed a nice dinner of barbecued fish on the deck while looking at the barely visible scenery around them.
Quickly, the night passed.
The morning of the second day still had great weather. The sky was clear with no clouds, presenting a great image. Also, there didn’t seem to be wind. This battleship that was named [Brilliance] finally activated the magic cruising array, and it started to accelerate and travel at high speed.
Except for instructing and teaching the students in the morning, Fei locked himself inside his room for most of the day.
In Diablo World, Fei received the fourth and fifth quests at [Lut Gholein], which were [The Arcane Sanctuary] and [The Summoner] respectively.
The king of [Lut Gholein] trusted an evil person, and that made his royal palace fall into the wrong hands. In the end, his warriors were only able to save the city that was above the ground.
Fei was asked to enter the [Arcane Sanctuary] which was deep inside the palace, clear all the monsters, kill the Summoner who summoned all these monsters, and find Horazon’s Journal which contained the information on defeating the lords in hell.
Fei had been to the [Arcane Sanctuary] twice already, once in Normal Mode and once in Nightmare Mode. However, he still didn’t dare to be careless and thus moved forward slowly.
The [Arcane Sanctuary] was a maze-like complex structure that looked like it was built in the void, and it was a mystical place. The complicated corridors and the tunnels flowed in the void, and they intertwined with each other. There were corridors in every direction, and the white stone pathways and the black void formed a sharp contrast. The screams and howls of the demons made this strange space seem more silent when it was quiet, and the monsters and demons rushed at Fei from all directions including the void. There were a lot of them, and their powers were shocking.
Chapter 769: Deep-Sea Giant Beast (Part Two)
The maze-like structure and the seemingly uncountable monsters made the king progress forward very slowly.
After spending an entire day’s gaming time on it, Fei and Elena still weren’t able to clear all the monsters in the [Arcane Sanctuary]. When they left at the end of the day, they only leveled up once, and they barely explored one-third of the map.
…
Another day passed.
Under the boost of the magic cruising array, [Brilliance] had already traveled more than tens of thousands of kilometers on the sea.
It was still another peaceful day, and the captives of Leon were obedient and didn’t resist. It seemed like they were also trying to get back to their empire quickly, and they operated the battleship with full force. Since the beginning of the journey, [Brilliance] didn’t encounter any issues.
When the night arrived, everything in the world got painted the color silver under the moonlight, and the surface of the ocean was really reflective like a mirror.
Fei stood on the deck of the ship and looked ahead, thinking about how he should initiate his plan once he got to the Leon Empire.
Suddenly, more than a dozen giant black shadows appeared several kilometers away underneath the ocean and stuck their heads out, breaking the calm surface. Cold blue lights flashed in their eyes as they looked in the direction of the ship, and then they quickly disappeared into the ocean.
Water beasts? Demon Beasts?
Fei suddenly thought about something, and the sharp instinct of a barbarian told him that something strange was going on underneath the ocean.
Although these two days on the ocean was peaceful and smooth, Fei sensed some strangeness that was hard to discover. The king was sure that something would happen soon.
Those strange marine creatures didn’t appear again that night.
When the Sun appeared on the horizon, Fei went back into the cabin from the deck and entered Diablo World to kill more monsters. He was trying to get stronger before he got to the Leon Empire so that his plan’s success rate would increase a bit more.

…
-Eight hours later-
Fei’s level increased, and he was now a Hell Mode level 24 Barbarian, and Elena got to Hell Mode level 15.
They had explored almost all the [Arcane Sanctuary], and only one-tenth of the area was still left. Even though they were still far away from the end of this place, they already sensed the fluctuations of that mysterious summoning power; it was coming from that evil summoner who turned the city of [Lut Gholein] into the living hell for humans and the paradise for monsters.
Fei used his spirit energy to sense this energy fluctuation a little, and he felt like this summoner was around low-tier Rising Sun Realm, which was more powerful than him at the moment.
Also, since today’s daily gaming limit was almost up, Fei thought about it and decided to battle the Summoner next time.
After leaving Diablo World, Fei wanted to go onto the deck to relax a bit. However, as soon as he left the cabin, he heard a series of gasps, shouts, and screams coming from the captives of Leon.
Then, the battleship shook heavily as if it hit a reef.
Fei’s face changed color, and he dashed and appeared on the deck.
Sea beast! This is a deep-sea giant beast! Damn it! We ran into a terrifying deep-sea giant beast!
a captive of Leon screamed on top of his lungs as his face paled. He was naked on top, and he wanted to hide under the deck as he tried his best to get away. However, a red tentacle which was more than one meter thick in cross-sectional diameter dashed through the surface of the ocean and coiled around this man’s waist, pulling him down into the ocean!
NO… Ah, save me! Save me!
that sailor screamed in desperation.
The other sailors were terrified now, and other tentacles were appearing around the ship and pulling people down into the sea. Several sailors were thrown into the air, and it was chaotic on the deck.
Right now, the sailors all wanted to run away and save themselves, having no time to rescue others.
