Eldritch Creature's Guide



Two hours later, they were near the rendezvous point with Juulius.

Unfortunately for him and his poor little Familiar, due to the environment of the island, they needed to advance rather slowly, so they won't be ambushed by some carnivorous plant or some poisonous things.

Making the next step forward, Samiel waved his right hand, blasting apart several monkey-type Magical Creatures that were instantly turned into a bunch of frozen parts as they were frozen before he destroyed their frozen corpses.

"Juulius should be close... I think I heard Tytos's roars somewhere..."

He said to Nefertari, who was sitting on his shoulders, laying there, with one eye closed as she occasionally observed their surroundings.

Even though she spent most of her time sleeping, she would never forget to be aware of her surroundings... it was in her very own blood and instincts to always vary of everything that was happening.

Finally, they were all ready to close to the back side of the mountain when Samiel sensed a powerful Mana source on the Silver-Tier, which belonged to Juulius.

Not long after he sensed Mana of his sworn knight, he saw the familiar visage of Juulius because his white armor outfit could be seen even from a far distance.

Good to be recognized but bad to be hidden...

"My Lord."

Juulius greeted him when they met, after several seconds, he saw Juulius's familiar White Tyger Tytos.

That enormous White Tiger had some fox-type magical beast in his mouth, of subspecies that Samiel didn't recognize as he dropped it on the ground and started munching on it happily.

"Now that we are all here... though two of us sans felines, we need to figure out a way how to get to another island. From what it seems that Yvraine was teleported to the next island, but crossing through the sea is night impossible due to the strength of mari-type magical beasts living in the oceans... god forbid we encounter some Sea Kings or Ocean Emperors..."

Samiel summarized as Juulius's agreeing with him because, as his sworn knight, he was well-versed and educated in the matters of the Tower.

While Samiel knew only some things, most commonly some high-end information he got access to as Holy Son of the Hall of Kadath or other sources, Juulius was like a walking encyclopedia on countless topics.

"Sea Kings or Oceans Emperors won't be wasting time in these waters... maximal danger would be some relatively more powerful magical beasts, maximally at the Steel-Tier or Bronze-Tier..."

Sea Kings and Oceans Emperors were tiles given to the strongest of the mari-type magical beasts living in the depths of the seas and oceans, typically in control of some huge territory.

Nobody knew how many of them were there, but some of them had really terrifying levels of power and there were even talks of the ones at the Legendary Level.

"That may be the truth... but that doesn't mean that the ships of the dregs of society that are broadening the seas here."

In order to successfully set sail across the dangerous waters of the 11th Floor one needed to have a suitable ship...typically the ships with strengthened hulls or the ones made directly from the F-Grade or E-Grade Alloys...

Normally those were only in possession of truly big-shot pirate crews or in possession of Marines.

Occasionally, there were some very powerful Bounty Hunters who amassed enough wealth to buy such a ship.

Still, even the cheapest one would cost tens of thousands of Credits even for an F-Graded one... for an E-Graded one, the sum would be a minimal hundred thousand to two hundred thousand.

"The best course of action would be waiting till some ship arrives, kill the crew and take the ship. Most preferably if they are either Pirates or Bounty Hunters. Parading with ships belonging to either Marines or sovereign nations of the 11th Floor would be bad for business..."

Samiel didn't wish to be chased by the locals the entire time he was on the 11th Floor.

Even though he was aware of the fact that the Marines of the 11th Floor weren't that strong, they had several Silver-Tier Professionals and there were rumors of a few Gold-Tiers hidden in reserve.

Not to mention their overwhelming number, so long short story, even though they were not particularly strong, they were problematic.

"That may not be entirely true, My Lord... you may not be aware of this fact, but on the 11th Foor, more precisely in the Northern Oceans, near the frozen shores of Noria, there is a theocratic state of Skrånøtiå. It is nation worshipping the Outer Court; we can head there and from there complete the Advancement Quest... they would give us their full support due to our status."

This was indeed something new for Samiel and could be much better than his own plan to be Bounty Hunter on his own.

If they went to the Skrånøtiå, then their Advancenmetn Quest would become much more accessible than just aimlessly wandering the seas and oceans.

Not only that, but access to supplies would be easy as nothing; additionally, he would be able to get some special status within the Marines.

"And now, do we get there in a short time? Considering the size of each Floor and speed of the ship... it would take even months with the fastest ship possible."

Juulius just shook his head in denial because he knew that there was a possible and very fast way to get to the Skrånøtiå.

"Each of the hegemonial nations has a teleportation circle that allows them to connect with one another. They have established floor-sized teleportation network... we need to arrive at one of the major cities of any of the hegemonial nations."

This was something Samiel was not aware of, but indeed this made the work much easier.

Naturally teleported to the Skrånøtiå, which was on another side of the Tower, considering that each Floor was tremendous in size, from the 10th Floor and forward the size of each Floor was tremendous.

So, he would need to pay an extraordinary amount for that; preferably, they would let him pay with Gold Coins because they have been gathering dust in his dimensional storage for a very long time already.

"That is actually good... which one is nearest?"

Samiel asked as they headed towards the beach. Right now, they were located on the mountainside and actually, they were not that far from the beach.

Thus, they started walking with both of their familiars reluctantly following after them, with Nefertari sleeping on huge Tytos, who wasn't bothered at all that he was carrying her.
