Chapter 108: At The Beach
Chapter 108: At The Beach
The time came when Kainen came back. Celestia teleported me and the girls to a place that I would've never seen in my life if I wasn't still alive.
The beach
We were located at some bay owned by Kainen in the far east of the continent Agos, which is the continent we were located on.
When we arrived, I was quickly blasted with a strong gust of heat and I immediately began sweating and so were the girls. The sudden change in temperature was a bit for us since a while ago we were in nearly sub-zero temperature.
Kainen was already beginning to set up some stuff like an umbrella, beach furniture, etc. I looked at him confusingly, and he must've noticed my gaze.
"If you are wondering what I am doing, I am setting some equipment."
"E-equipment?"
"Well I mean, I have to watch you fight a Leviathan somehow."
a what?
"You heard him, Nero. You're fighting a Leviathan." Celestia repeated.
Leviathan?
"Leviathan? Like those large sea serpents that can devour a ship with minimal effort?" I asked and Kainen nodded his head.
"Yeah!"
is this guy crazy?
What level would a Leviathan be? Probably around like a million of something. I'm only in the ten thousand, there is no way I can take on a leviathan.
"Stop fretting Nero. You should be lucky you aren't taking on the big ones."
"What? There are more!?"
I was beginning to feel a little jittery, but Kainen put his hand on my shoulder.
"Don't worry, I assure you that you won't be taking on Emperor, Sovereign, Monarch, or Kaiser class Leviathans. At most, you might be facing a Prince or a Juvenile," He said to assure me, but that didn't make it any better now that I know there are multiple classes.
Leviathans classified into 6 ranks. I want to know whether they are classified by size or power, because if it is ranked by size, then I am still not comfortable.
"Can you provide more information?" I asked Kainen.
"Yeah, actually, I have some notes and drawings of the Leviathans I've countered. Here you go!"
Kainen handed me a journal and I began scanning through the pages.
Now then, I will explain it from the beginning, starting from the Juveniles, the weakest class.
Juveniles.
Well, judging by the name, it is a little obvious as to what they are. Juveniles are basically leviathans that are still kids.
Anyway, Juveniles are the smallest of the 6 classes and the weakest as well, since their body is only able to contain a set amount of mana. If I were to range their power by levels, they would be around levels 1,000 2,500. Yeah, not that much but to most people, they are still a threat. Luckily, they are neutral creatures so they won't attack you unless you attack back. Consider them like dolphins, only stronger and much more intimidating.
Their looks are almost similar to whales. They measure up to around 20 feet or 6 meters.
Next, the Prince class.
Now the Prince class leviathans are basically Juveniles except they are in their teens. They are still neutral but they pack more of a punch than Juveniles. This time, their looks are much spikier in appearance. Their levels range from 2,500 10,000 and their sizes are double that of Juveniles.
Now for the next class, they can diverge between either Kaiser class Leviathans or Monarch class depending on their genetics or environment. First, I will start with the Kaiser class.
It is time to move on to the Kaiser class. Kaiser class Leviathans have some changes to their appearances and they've matured a lot during their time as Prince class Leviathans. Now, they look like the combination of a whale and a crocodile. Their levels range from 10,000 75,000 and they are triple the size of Prince classes. The weirdest attribute that Kaiser classes have is that they have a tongue that has the length of two times their body. That is pretty long. They wander the surface and they are extremely aggressive.
The Monarch class Leviathans on the other hand are different. They only grow a little so they are half the size of Kaiser class counterparts but that grants them the ability to move faster than them. They now have tentacles on their lower half so they could be the fusion of a whale and a squid. They are way stronger, ranging from levels 10,000 100,000. They are also extremely aggressive but luckily, they live in the deep ocean.
Now, I would explain the last two but after I've seen the amount that Kainen has written for these two, I don't think I want to do it anymore. So I will just summarize the Sovereign class, but no way am I going to explain the Emperor one.
The Sovereign class takes on a completely different appearance. This time it is not a whale or a crocodile or a squid, but a sea serpent. They are ten times bigger than the Kaiser class. Though there was a ton of information on these things, there was nothing about how powerful they are, but if I were to guess, they might be at least five times stronger than Monarchs.
I can only imagine what the Emperor class can do...
I questioned Kainen how he managed to get such information and illustrations, and he told me that Celestia helped him with this. Kainen has been interested in Leviathans for a long time and it was his dream to see what a fight with a Leviathan would look like. I asked why he didn't fight one himself and then I realized that was a dumb question because he was just a normal human with no fighting capabilities at all.
I even asked why he didn't ask Celestia and he said that she was too powerful and that she could most likely kill a Sovereign class in one hit which I hardly and kind of believe.
Hmm, now that I think of it...
"Celestia... isn't it hot?" I asked her. She turned to me and lifted an eyebrow.
"Hmm? Of course, it's hot. Don't you see me sweating here?"
"If you are so hot, then why not switch to a swimsuit or something?"
"'Cause who would want to expose their skin to you!?"
"...well."
I shifted my attention to the girls who were playing in the water, donning swimsuits.
Kiyomi wore a teal bikini and blue bottoms with a black sarong. Her hair was tied back in a ponytail with a black ribbon. Since she was in her original form, her tail was being soaked as she continued to play in the water. Kainen already knew about my girls from Celestia that they weren't all human(except Katrina, who was only half-human) It's a good thing that the people Celestia knew are cool with this.
Ravyn was wearing a black bikini set that had frills on the back and chest. Her hair was untied, so her long black hair was let loose. Katrina was wearing a white bikini with a white sarong and a white jacket as well.
Before we got here, I had removed the marks created by Mark of Fidelity off of Kiyomi, Ravyn, and Akane. I mean, it really has no use now and it doesn't really look good on them. Also, I believe that they don't need it anymore. Though I am still stuck with the snake tattoo but that doesn't really matter.
It took me a while to notice Akane wasn't playing with them. I looked around and spotted Akane sitting on the sand, alone. She was wearing a dark red bikini set and a black jacket. Her hair was tied in a ponytail. I noticed that she looked a little down.
Wonder what's wrong...?
I walked up to her and patted her head. She squeaked, startled by me, and lifted her head to meet my eyes.
"What's wrong Akane?" I asked her. "Do you not want to play with the others?"
Akane shook her head and made a circle in the sand.
Hmm... wonder why she doesn't want to... Is she afraid of the water? Can't swim? There are many reasons but when I asked her, it seems those weren't it.
"Then what is it?"
"W-well..." She began before standing up.
"I... I don't have the looks of a woman..."
"What are you talking about? You're beauti-"
And then I noticed her six pack abs.
"Oh my god, you can grind meat on th- Ahem, I mean... oh... I see."
I forgot that she is a little insecure about her own body since she has a very well-built physique. Those abs and slim muscles of hers could even put a man's muscle to shame. Damn, even I'm a little jealous...
Though she may have such a body, her looks aren't even affected. She still looks pretty.
"You're beautiful. You're the way you are and I think you are pretty enough. There is no need to feel shame in yourself. Now, go and have fun."
A light smile slowly formed on Akane's face and she nodded. She got up and walked over to the girls, joining them in their fun.
...wonder what she ate to have such a body and height...
Even though I've altered my appearance, I can still work on my body structure, though it is a little difficult to do it now since I'm not a human anymore.
Anyway... about a few hours passed and everyone was tired from playing in the water.
As the girls began resting, I felt Kainen tap my shoulder.
"Alright, it is time!" He shouted.
...time for what?
