"The SeaFolk race is split into mainly three factions, the Water God Hall, the Sea Serpent Hall, and the Arctic Hall. These three halls combined to make one of the two Great Clan of SeaFolks. According to what I've learned many years ago, the Water God Hall is the most powerful among the three and has an elder that has already reached the half Immortal stage. The other two halls each have one or two Fusion stage warriors as well. This was many years ago, who knows how many Fusion stage and Half Immortals or even Immortals they have among them" for the first time, he heard a sliver of awe in her voice.

"One-half immortal and two Fusion stage warriors, wow" Michael was also astonished by listening to Lailah. As she said, this was years ago, he could only imagine how powerful they are now. He did not think any one of the races living on the land was weak but because the SeaFolk never took part in any wars, he knew their strength is far superior to the land crawlers.

If he could, he wanted to visit the SeaFolks soon. He had gained a rather rough understanding of the SeaFolks from Lailah. After getting some ideas about the SeaFolks, he continued to ask Lailah about the other races along the way, slowly expanding his knowledge about this world.

The ocean they were flying above was enormous, several times larger than the Elon Continent. Even though The Treacherous Ocean was very close to Rainbow Island, it took the two of them a full day and night of flying at such a speed before finally arriving.

The Treacherous Ocean was a region of sea shrouded in a dark mist and stormy clouds. The sound of thunderclaps reverberated the entire sea while violet streaks of lightning kept lighting the gloomy clouds.

The Ocean itself seemed endless. Currently, Michael and Lailah hovered in the sky a couple of kilometers away, staring at the mist cautiously.

Lailah knew that Michael's understanding of The Treacherous Ocean was limited, so she explained, "The real dangers of the treacherous ocean lies in an island within the thick mist. We need to pass through the mist to reach there. You must never underestimate this mist. It's extremely powerful and strange, as soon as you enter it, all your sensory abilities will be suppressed, and your vision will also be greatly affected"L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.

Michael nodded, immediately becoming vigilant. The Treacherous Ocean was a dangerous zone, second only to the Demons Grave. He could already see his Environmental scanning is being disrupted by some kind of interference.

"System, can you upgrade the Environmental Scanning?"

[Unable to upgrade spells...]

[The System is in safe mode!]

Michael kinda expected this but it did not hurt to try. Since he got no help from the system, he had to rely solely on himself, on his skills as a hitman/assassin.

"Let's go in. Follow me closely and don't stray away from me. You might see some illusions in the mist, but you need to remember that all of them are just illusions" Lailah spoke with a soft voice, before handing over the baby dragon back to him. She then placed Angel's Veena into her left hand and gently played her other hand onto the strings.

Seeing how cautious Lailah was, Michael raised his own vigilance by taking out a few shiny bright orange pills and eating them like candy. The pills he just took were the Perception pills, he concocted these pills as the new badge using a few herbs he brought from the Sky garden.

As they advanced deeper and deeper, the weird mist also became thicker and thicker. Michael's heightened range of vision had already shrunken to two meters, crossing the two meters, he could see nothing but the misty-white screen. For others, looking through the eyes was the only way to see but for Michael, he trained to perceive the surroundings using all of his senses. He listened and smelled on top of looking to be aware of the mist. Even though Lailah's figure started to become blurrier, he followed her behind smelling the alluring fragrance coming from her.

"Lady Alden, just how big is this area? How much further until we leave this damn region?"

"We need to travel roughly a hundred kilometers more to get out of this mist. With our current speed, it should take five or six hours, if we are lucky" Lailah spoke calmly while her bewitching eyes flickered, vigilantly observing the surroundings.

At that very moment, another few streaks of white light shot from the surroundings with lightning speed just like before, except, this time Michael had sensed them thanks to his enhanced hearing. He swiftly slashed at the two streaks of white light without moving his body too much. There was no fancy move, just a? plain simple slash but it was lethal enough to take two lives.

Soon, the two white streaks of light turned into dust, falling near his feet.

Just as he lifted his sword to kill the rest of them, a clear note suddenly rang out. It turned into a visible sound wave that expanded into the surroundings. As the streaks of light came into contact with the sound wave they immediately turned into a pile of dust, ripped apart by the veena note.

Michael narrowed his eyes slightly in a way it could not be detected. His recognition for the woman's strength increased by a level; she could display such strength with just a casual note. Even if these fishes were at the Core Formation stage, he could tell that they would not be able to withstand the power of her notes.

Continuing onwards, Michael and Lailah both suffered constant attacks from the mutated fish. With each wave of the attack, the number of fishes that attacked them increased significantly. Fortunately for Michael, they didn't get attacked by fishes stronger than a Body Strengthening stage 5. He slashed and diced them effortlessly, this put a small smile on his face as he acquired quite a lot of experience points killing these fishes. He would have killed more if Lailah didn't massacre the majority of the fishes of each wave with a single note from her veena.

The two of them flew steadily through the fog for seven continuous hours before passing through the region of fog and reaching the outskirts of The Treacherous Ocean.

The deeper they went, the thicker the mist became. After over eight kilometers, the mist had become so thick that he could barely see anything. Only the faint fragrance at Michael's nose signified her existence. This made Michael rely on his nose to detect where she is, using the fragrance from her body.

Suddenly, Michael felt the mist before him surge violently. Shortly afterward, a blurry figure suddenly appeared, before quickly becoming clearly visible. It was a man in his late sixties, he wore a black suit and black trousers, in one hand, he held a bloody knife while in the other, he held a silencer attached Beretta 92. Michael stared blankly at the old man who is smiling wickedly at him. His emotions were overwhelmed by disbelief. Along with disbelief, in Michael's eyes, a cocktail of anger, fear, and respect could be seen.

"Diddle...Diddle...Diddle...we...are...so little" The old man slowly uttered these words, stirring the buried emotions deep within his heart.

"Spectre!" Michael unconsciously called out. His voice was filled with rage, and even his eyes became rather bloodshot.
