Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

"We are going to swim?" She said nonchalantly.

Acht couldn\'t know how to react to this crucial information that he only heard about at this moment. So, with a complicated gaze, he asked.

"How far is the great wall from the shores?"

Lein thought for a few moments before she spoke.

"I don\'t know. 4000 miles or something."

\'4000 miles? Is she a human submarine?\' He thought to himself as he sighed inwardly.

The reason he didn\'t complain is that he knew that both of them were capable of swimming for 4000 miles but it was slightly tiring that\'s why he would\'ve gone with the other choice of actually using a boat or a ship to go there.

As he was thinking so, Lein threw him a mask. He had never seen one of these before so he inspected it thoroughly.

The mask had a full front made out of glass with a metal part that seemed to have all the components for them to breathe underwater.

He could feel soul force circulating inside the mask so he was sure it was a soul artifact that was way more advanced than any other oxygen mask he saw back on earth.

However, what was even weirder is that there was no diving suit with it.

He wanted to ask Lein about it but he stopped when he saw her put the mask on and tap on a button on the side of the mask.

Immediately, a black suit appeared out of nowhere and wrapped around her voluptuous body, tightly sealing it and accentuating her crazy curves even further.

He didn\'t know how that functioned but he still tried it nevertheless.

The same thing happened and a black suit exactly his size appeared out of thin air.

He looked at the suit and tried to move inside of it. Luckily, it didn\'t restrict his movement at all and was flexible enough to basically be ignored completely.

He was glad that was the case since it meant that he could fight even while underwater.

After that, he shifted his eyes to the vast sea in front of him.

"Don\'t fall behind," Lein said as she ran to the water and jumped in there.

Acht didn\'t follow immediately as he checked his surroundings one last time just in case before he also ran to the water.

The moment his whole body was engulfed by the sea, a feeling of freedom took over him.

He subconsciously closed his eyes when the impact happened but he opened them again and a whole new world presented itself in front of him.

A blue world that could put anyone in a trance looking at it.

The sun\'s rays penetrate the surface of the water, creating an ethereal scenery that is basically out of dreams.

All kinds of sea life moved around him, creatures that he had never seen before. Each one of them added a new sense to this world and made it even more lively and beautiful.

Then, after admiring the scene, he saw Lein waiting for him a few tens of meters away. She seemed to be calling for him with a pissed look but he couldn\'t hear her words.

So, he approached her and gestured for his ear.

In response, she gestured for another button beside the other one they used before.

The moment he tapped on it, he could finally hear Lein\'s loud voice.

"This is our communication device for now. Don\'t get too far away or the connection will be cut off."

Then, she turned around and swam into the distance at a speed that rivaled that of a dolphin.

Acht also followed her suit and swam through the water at a fast but slightly slower speed than Lein.

As he was moving like that, an idea popped into his head.

\'Could I use gravity to reduce the resistance coming from the water?\' He thought to himself as he tried the idea.

Channeling his soul force, he manipulated the gravitational field around his body and started changing the shape of the water to make it easier to pass through it.

Almost instantly, his speed doubled and he was able to start closing the distance between him and Lein at a rapid pace.

And like that, the journey continued silently as each one of them just had his own things to think about. The calm atmosphere of the deep water was like therapy for chaotic minds. It soothed the soul and eased the tension and stress.

As they kept moving, the sun rays started to grow scarcer and scarcer as the light dimmed around them.

Acht saw how Lein tapped on a third button and a flashlight got illuminated. It was very strong to the point where it even showed up to 30 meters ahead of them.

After about 2 hours of continuous swimming, they suddenly halted their movements completely.

Both of them sensed something lurking in the water ahead of them…something huge and extremely dangerous.

"Don\'t move," Lein whispered to Acht through the communication device.

The boy squinted his eyes in response and looked ahead of him, the dimness of the sea along with the eerie silence built up great tension.

Then, out of nowhere, a huge silhouette passed ahead of them from one side to another. He could barely see a small part of its colossal body and that made him grow even more serious.

This monster was simply too huge. Its appearance had only lasted for a few seconds yet it was more than enough to alert Acht.

"That\'s a sea king fish. An A-Rank monster. If this was the adult sea king fish then it could even be an SS-Rank monster."

"What? How are we going to deal with it then?"

"Sea king fishes are tame creatures so if we don\'t piss it off, it should be fine. Now, let\'s continue and be careful of your surroundings." She said as she started moving again.

Acht sighed quietly and muttered.

"Why do I feel like I already know how this will end up?"
