"Is everyone ready? Then, let’s go to the other continent," Fabio said.

Since he’s a King, he’s the one in charge of leading us. Though I’m also a King, my leadership skill is lacking compared to him. So he’s in charge.

Also, the other continent is closer if we move to the east. That’s why we will leave from Arturo. And that’s why Fabio is leading.

...Even though we’re moving, it’s not like we can’t return back whenever we want. We have portals after all.

From the east coast of Arturo, we move east. With Carmen and the other master level mages controlling the submarines, we should be able to get there within two weeks. At least that’s the estimation.

We have ten submarines. Each with at least one air mage inside and a water mage who controls the submarine. And the submarines don’t look like a moving island. They’re all submarines made of metal and only few places have windows that we can use to see outside.

Though when we’re looking outside, it will just be water and water.

As for me, I can go anywhere with my portal. I can move from one submarine to the others. And I can also move outside and ride on Ray’s back to check the other continent first.

But that’s for later. It will take a while until we got there.

"What do we know about the other continent?" I asked Fabio.

"Only that it’s bigger than our continent. Maybe our continent is the smallest. Maybe there are even more continents out there. We don’t know much," Fabio said.

Maybe they have a lot of master level mages. Maybe they even have Aura users. We don’t know. That’s why we have a lot of master level mages going there.

It sounds like we’re going there for an invasion. That might not be wrong. Especially if the cult’s influence has spread wide in that place.

"For now, we will stop by any islands on the way to investigate the islands and also to prepare a base to attack the other continent in case they receive us with hostility. I hope we can talk with them peacefully. But if that’s not possible, then we have no choice but to use force," Fabio said.

"Are you sure that’s a good idea? What if there are actually more innocent people there compared to those who were influenced by the cult? It’s possible, right?" I asked.

"Yeah. That’s why we will see first if they are hostile or not. And that’s why we don’t send someone who can fly there first. We have to show sincerity before taking actions," Fabio said.

Yeah, I don’t understand. But if that’s the plan, then that’s how it should go.

At least I have an entire kingdom of monsters ready to fight whenever and wherever. If we are somehow getting pushed back in the other continent, we can fight back again with the help of the monsters.

Well, maybe we don’t need them. But it’s fine to have more preparation, right?

"Hmm... with this speed, we can only reach there in two weeks, right? Can’t we go faster?" I asked.

"No. Although we managed to build several submarines, we can’t make them strong enough to hold powerful water pressure. If we go too fast, the water pressure will be the same as being underwater. You might be fine. But we won’t," Fabio said.

Then it will be a boring travel. Well, at least I can go anywhere I want.

We are not too deep in the water. Only about a hundred meter depth. Though I think that’s deep for normal people.

We let the water mages work on their own. I thought that they will refuse it. But turns out they enjoyed it.

"We don’t really have much time fighting for real because our magic is not as strong as other element magic. So now that we are useful, we will do our best. At least that’s what everyone is saying," Carmen said while she’s also controlling this submarine.

Seems like for them, controlling the submarine is not that hard. Being in the water, water mages are strong. But they still need air to breathe. So it’s rare for them to go underwater to fight willingly.

And weirdly enough, Daniel awakened to both air element and water element. He also awakened healing element. Three elements.

With air element and water element, he can fight underwater. Though he’s still just an advanced level mage.

Back in Cassau, he would go for diving into the sea and search for treasures like I did in the past. He enjoyed being underwater. And since the monsters there are not too strong, I can let him do that.

By the way, we have built a city for us. Or it’s more like a village. But there’s no school so Daniel stays in Cassau.

It’s also safer for him that way. Because now that we have moved away from Cassau, the cult’s attacks are now targeted to our new home. So Daniel is safe in Cassau and can focus on his other duties. Studying.

I haven’t allowed him to go to the Spirit Mountain yet. Because I thought that it will be good for him to study like other kids.

Though why did I allow him to go for this journey that is possibly more dangerous than anything we encountered? I guess I just can’t refuse him every time.

I guess I’m still weak to Daniel even though he’s grown up now.

What would happen when I have kids in the future? I’ll be such a doting father I guess.

"I’ll take a look outside then," I said.

"I’m coming too, bro!" Daniel said.

Yeah, bro. When did he learn to call me bro all the time, bro?

We might be underwater. But it’s not like we can leave. Because Crabbe is following us a bit away from the submarine.

I said that it will be dangerous if monsters are seen with us. But it’s not like we can’t do that. We can still get Crabbe to follow us from behind.

Then using telepathy, I told him to go to the surface so I can open a portal to his location. This is what I will do whenever I’m inside the submarine and want to leave while the submarine is still submerged underwater.

If Crabbe is not following us, then I had to go back to Arturo or wait until the submarine resurfaced. We can’t waste too much time so I told Crabbe to come.

"Bro, I’m swimming very fast!" Daniel shouted as he started swimming. To the east where the submarines are.

He might be an advanced level mage. But he’s faster than the submarines because they had to slow down so the submarines can endure the water pressure. While Daniel can do whatever he wants in the sea since he’s on his own.

"...Let’s follow him," I said to Crabbe.

So he swims next to Daniel. While I’m running on the surface of the sea. This is a ridiculous sight to see.

"Oh, I see an island."

And I contacted Victoria whom I left behind with Fabio to tell him about the island.

’It’s still early. Let’s keep going and see if we can find another island. Of course you can go there by yourself and investigate that island if you want," Fabio said.

So Daniel and I checked that island. It’s an uninhabited island with only trees and no other living creatures.

"Is there any treasures here? What about dungeons?" Daniel said excitedly.

"There’s nothing here. I’ll mark this place with Blobbies and move one," I said.

"Is the tree here something you know?" Daniel asked.

"Hmm? Yes. Their sap is useful for medicine. And I have grown a lot of them in the Monsters Kingdom thanks to the elves," I said.

"I see. No wonder they seem familiar," Daniel said.

He’s also excited about learning more in medicine. He really wants to be a doctor.

He’s an air mage. So I can teach him about air magic. But it seems like shooting water from a gun doesn’t seem to be powerful. So unlike Sara who can shoot with rocks, Daniel can’t. Because his water magic is already stronger than firing water with air magic.

That’s why he has a pocket full of bullets wherever he goes. He already has a custom gun for himself but for the bullets, he has to get them on his own.

"There’s a coconut tree as well! Bro, let’s take a break here and chase after the others after we drink one!" Daniel said.

"Alright. Shoot them down by yourself," I said.

Then Daniel used his gun and shoots the coconuts to drop them on the ground. And we rested here for a while just the three of us drinking coconut water.

"It took you three shoots to drop one coconut. You need to train your accuracy more if you want to be more lethal," I said.

"I don’t think I can fight much with air magic. I want to be the best in the water instead. So it’s fine if my accuracy with a gun is bad," he said.

He really loves the sea. At least he has found what he wants to do in the future.

He might really be the King of the seas in the future. And also a doctor and healer. What a busy future this kid has.
