On the fourth night of their voyage at sea, the Magic Cruise encountered a storm.

The wind fueled the waves, making them quite frightening.

The crew members anxiously worked on their tasks, arranging items on the deck, including the heavy statue.

The sailors, who had been resting just moments before, immediately sprang into action and began working diligently. This led one to suspect that they were using their work as a cover to conceal their fear.

At the same time, Keller also heard a commotion starting to rise among the passengers who were having dinner in the largest cabin.

The sudden wind and rain made them feel uneasy.

"Didn't we already say that there's a risk of encountering a storm if we get on this ship? What are those passengers still making a fuss about!"

One of the impatient sailors muttered a complaint.

To avoid getting his clothes wet from the wind and rain, Kaireser returned to the cabin where the crowd had gathered.

He happened to see the cruise ship's captain appear in the cabin. He was about fifty years old, and his large, imposing captain's hat indicated his status on the ship.

The captain personally stepped forward to reassure the passengers, speaking in a calm and mature voice that their cruise ship was specifically designed for safe navigation in storms.

We've encountered countless storms far worse than this one, so passengers need not worry and will soon be out of the storm.

Most of the passengers thought what he said sounded convincing, so they believed the captain and quieted down.

However, Keller seemed unconvinced. Earlier, when he returned to his cabin, he overheard several crew members whispering complaints—

Although the ship is very sturdy, it seems that the cargo it was carrying this time was significantly overloaded.

The medicines that were intended to be transported to the north did not take up much of the cargo weight.

But in addition to that, there was a lot of cargo belonging to the passengers, such as the statue of Alphonse, which was an extra heavy object.

The cargo caused the ship to have a deep draft and to rock violently in the water.

Keller thought so too—it was the cargo that took up too much weight but served no practical purpose that made the voyage more dangerous.

The sailor I just met who wasn't interested in Alphonse probably wasn't actually lacking in admiration for this ancient hero.

It was merely a feeling of disgust towards the statue, which served as a burdensome commodity.

He leaned silently against the window, watching the raging wind and rain outside.

For safety reasons, the crew anchored the ship in the middle of the sea and dropped anchor.

No matter how much you worry now, it won't do much good.

Neither worry, complaints, nor prayers can stop the storm immediately.

On the contrary, it will bring a greater burden to one's mind.

So he decided to go back to his cabin to rest for a while.

Before leaving, he told the sailor that if he needed any help, he should not hesitate to knock on the door. The sailor was very grateful, warmly agreed, and waved him away.

Back in her room, Keller lay on the bed and closed her eyes as she rocked. When she opened them again, she realized that two hours had passed without her noticing, and that the cruise ship had moved away from the storm zone.

Keller also heard the occasional cheers from the crew members who walked by outside the cabin.

The air was particularly fresh after the storm, so after waking up, Keller went to the deck at the bow of the ship for some fresh air.

The sea returned to calm, and the night sky reappeared, but the stars had vanished without a trace.

There is still quite some time before the sky becomes as bright as day.

The pure night sky was especially beautiful, probably because it had just passed through a storm.

There's an old saying in Valentino: "The rainbow after the storm is the most beautiful." Now, it seems General Keller, based on his own experience, should also improvise a similar modern proverb: "The night sky after the storm is pure and beautiful."

An unknown danger is quietly approaching.

As he enjoyed the sea breeze like the other passengers, he also felt a violent jolt, just like them.

The ship appeared to have been struck by a hard object. Looking ahead, Keller looked out at the sea and found no icebergs or similar objects obstructing the cruise ship's progress.

What exactly happened?

Suddenly his vision shifted, and a second, even more violent, jolt came from beneath his feet. Keller clung tightly to the railing before falling. Several passengers, less agile than him, tumbled into the water as a result.

At the same time, several people began to scream.

There were no waves or obstacles, so what was causing this tremor?

As she was pondering this, Keller faintly heard strange cries coming from the sea beyond the railing.

The demonic breath tightly enveloped the cruise ship.

Before they could even notice, another screaming passenger was dragged away by a tentacle and pulled into the water. Soon after, a patch of red appeared on the surface of the sea.

Kareser drew his holy sword, ready to meet the attack.

A large number of fish-frog-like monsters that had been lying in wait leaped out of the sea and crawled along the outer edge of the ship onto the deck.

The mutated monster "Sea Demon" with its powerful limbs has taken advantage of this moment to attack the cruise ship!

"We're on a ship, so we can't unleash the destructive power of the emblems... therefore, we have to eliminate them one by one!"

General Kaleiser unleashed the full power of his Holy Lightning Breath and imbued it upon himself before charging into the horde of sea monsters. While slaying the monsters, he also did his utmost to protect the ship from damage.

He focused on dealing with the sea monster lurking on the bow of the ship, thinking that there should be other adventurers elsewhere, so there was no need to worry.
