The Dragon'S Blue Gem
(S2) Chapter 59 [Great Dragon Leviathan]

Aqua POV

It's been 11 months. To be sure, even after 11 months of relentless hunting, the pressure Leviathan exerted was still frightening

Right now I was standing in the same abyss as the first time I saw Leviathan. An ordinary half-elf that was less than 2m tall was only a small insect compared to a dragon snake with a length of 200 km, right?

Regardless of his level, how am I supposed to kill him?!

This dungeon was not a dungeon that should exist in the Magic Continent.

Let me explain first. There were different levels for the dungeon. An ordinary Dungeon in the Human Continent was D or C level, while a dungeon was a tower based on B. In the Magic Continent, ordinary dungeons were B or A level, and dungeons were towers based on S. Even so, since Dungeon monsters were more difficult than ordinary monsters, only mercenaries higher in rank from dungeon level were allowed to enter. For example, C-level dungeons should only be entered at level B and above, and so on.

I suppose...

But why are SSSS rank monsters up in the dungeon of the Magic Continent?!!!!

Shouldn't that be the case in the Demon Continent or Floating?!!

Yes Dewi. actually why I have always been involved in things like this since childhood...

Thanks to that, my level is much higher than the others.

This calm looking Leviathan from a distance makes me nervous. It felt like if I were to leave now, it would be the same as going to death itself. But I can't waste any longer either. Because before I had decided, that I would stay at most 1 year per floor.

What can we do, at least let's get close to him first. After that I have to observe it as best as possible, all there must be weaknesses. And exploiting his weakness is my job.

That's what I said before.

Actually...what kind of situation is this?

⟨ Hey, fairy-loved child. Why didn't you answer my question? ⟩

Can anyone guess where I am now?

I was right in front of Leviathan's eyes. It all happened so fast. Right after I dove into the sea, the whirlpool pulled me into the middle without giving me a chance to put up a fight. As soon as I opened my eyes, I was already in front of Leviathan's glowing yellow eyes.

Even without relying on Dragon's Eye, I can tell. This creature is on a different level.

"..... Please forgive me. You asked me if I wanted to work with you, right? What is called cooperation, must benefit both parties. Is there something you want from me?" I replied as decently as possible so as not to offend him.

I put oxygen bubbles around my face, so I can breathe even in water. The problem is the water pressure. The hydrostatic pressure of the water increases by 1 atm every 10 meters depth. Hydrostatic pressure at a depth of 938 meters is about 94 atm. In fact, humans can only survive at pressures of about 3 to 4 atm.

Swimming in sea water at a depth of 938 meters is impossible for humans, it feels probably will be the same as the trampling of 120 elephants on the head. So even if I already used reinforcement and protection magic, the effects would not last long.

⟨ You're right. Something that benefits me exists. Hmm. boy, I'm gonna tell you something. Do you know how the Dungeon monster was created? ⟩

"No. I don't know."

⟨ Some are created from the core of the dungeon itself. But there are also rare cases like me. Abduction and forced confinement! ⟩

"Forced kidnapping and confinement??!!"

⟨ Yes. Before I tell you, I will tell you that Dungeon monsters are not just real monsters. There were some creatures that were not monsters but were forced into Dungeon monsters. You must have seen the example. Medusa, that woman is not a monster even though she is that kind of person. I am also the same, I am not a monster born from the blood of the Evil God ⟩

That makes sense. Monsters have no intelligence, if Lich is excluded of course. No matter how high the level, a creature born from the blood of the Evil God would not have the intelligence that Goddess Athena gave.

⟨ *But how about it, my level is too high to be brought into the dungeon. So that jal*ng sucked a small part of me and forcibly entered it as the boss of the 96* ⟩ floor

Hm?

Who is jala*g in question?

No... More importantly, a small part?!!! So you mean your body is now only a small part?

"Eh? Dragon snake?" answered doubt.

⟨ I've guessed. With a form like this, you would obviously consider me a dragon. You are wrong, son. My real body is what you all call Guardian World, Great Dragon ⟩

"?!!!!???!?!?!?"

Great Dragon's? He kidding? Not True Dragon but Great Dragon?!!!!!

< Great Dragon >

Unlike the True Dragon which is the peak of dragon evolution. The Great Dragon was created specifically by the Goddess Athena as was the 5th Arc-Angel. If Arc-Angel had the task of preventing the rise of the Evil God and the excess of the demon race, Great Dragon was tasked with preventing the overpopulation of other races. If a race numbered too much, it could cause the world damage. So reducing it was the task of the Great Dragon. In contrast, the Great Dragon also protected races with few and almost extinct populations from disappearing. In other words, Great Dragon was just like Spirit and Fairy who were protecting the balance of the world even in different ways.

One Great Dragon had the same power as one Arc-Angel. So they prohibited the Goddess Athena from using all their abilities except in an emergency.

⟨ Looks like you are very surprised ⟩

"of course. There were only 3 Great Dragons in Demetria. Meeting one of them is the greatest fortune of my life."

But this is confusing. Who 'jal*ng' does Leviathan mean? How strong was he to be able to suck a small portion of Leviathan and lock him in this dungeon? This whole thing is a lot more complicated than I thought.

⟨ Again you are wrong, son. There were currently only 2 Great Dragons in Demetria. I, the Great Dragon of the Leviathan Sea and Hennie, the Great Dragon of the Land. Great Dragon last, no ⟩ already

Ah. true.

The last Great Dragon, the Great Sky Dragon, Levana. Great Dragon Levana ignored his duties as a Great Dragon and married an ordinary human in the Kingdom of Humaria. Because of marriage and childbearing, where Great Dragon was forbidden to have children so that his abilities were not spread, Great Dragon Levana was punished by the Goddess Athena by turning him into an ordinary Dragonman.

Levana has no regrets at all, because his love for his wife is amazing. After marrying and becoming King of Humaria, Levana followed various wars and expanded the Kingdom of Humaria to one continent and became the largest human Empire, the Levana Empire.

"May I ask why you offered me cooperation? Is it because you knew that only the descendants of the Great Dragon Levana?"

⟨ Hoho. I offered you because of that. But not only that. A 14-year-old boy who can get this far, maybe I won't find him again ⟩

"..... So. All righty! Mr. Leviathan, I will accept the offer of the lord."

The offer we are referring to right now is that Leviathan will let me pass by just like that and will even give me a little bit of his strength in order to get through the next floor. After I finish the dungeon, the caged creature will forcibly return to its origin. And the monsters created will disappear.

⟨ That's good. Rather than me killing you here and waiting for thousands of years or you killing me somehow it takes me how long, it's better like this ⟩

⟨ Boy, stretch your hands forward and touch my head ⟩

I nodded, touching the softness of his head that was as hard as mithril. A warm and cold feeling simultaneously roiled my body. It felt as if my consciousness was being carried around the ocean and seeing the beauty of the undersea.

So this is the one that the Great Dragon Sea protected.

After that strange yet soothing feeling disappeared, it felt like the world was changing in my eyes. The previously extremely dark sea became brighter and coloured, the faint sense of tightness had slowly disappeared, the water pressure that could crush the body easily was also no longer present.

⟨ You must be feeling better now. With my strength, you don't need that stupid bubble and don't have to think about the pressure of the water. You can live as usual on the sea floor even ⟩

It's amazing that I couldn't have drowned or been crushed by the pressure of the sea.

"Thank you, Mr. Leviathan."

⟨ Hohoho. You can also control the water as you like as long as there is water near you as if the water is part of your body ⟩

"Is it different from water magic?"

⟨ Stupid! It's completely different. Controlling the water using magic was borrowing the power of the water Spirit with the exchange of mana. But with my strength, you don't need to borrow Spirit power and be able to control the water directly. Arguably the use of magic without mana ⟩

"Without magic?!!! That's too awesome!!!" surprised scream.

Right.. It's really amazing. As long as there is water, I can use water magic without taking out any mana. In a direct battle, I was just like a water witch with no restrictions on mana. It's the same as the sea has become my own territory.

⟨ I've turned that into a skill for you, son. Improve that skill if you want to use magic of a higher level! ⟩

"All right!!!!"

⟨ Remember well our deal. So don't die! ⟩

"You don't have to worry. I will not die until I reach my goal."

⟨ Hohoho... Goody! Goody! Now go! Don't stay here too long! ⟩

I bowed my body 90°.

"Thank you for everything, Mr. Leviathan. I won't disappoint you."

Mr. Leviathan did not say who the nets were

*ng that at all. I have to figure out who he really is.

⟨ One more thing son. It seemed like this dungeon was created to lock up or seal someone at the base, therefore this dungeon was made extremely powerful. Be carefull! ⟩

"I understand! See you later, Mr. Leviathan."

⟨ ..... See you later, son. If fate permits, we will meet again someday ⟩
