Hearing Alka’s words, Jason nodded in understanding.
Although he didn’t know what had changed in the Dream Realm, since Alka said so, there must be no problem.
At this mont, a gentle bell rang. It was ti to eat. Everyone imdiately gathered in the dining room.
Considering Pororo’s size, the interior space of the entire ship had been elevated; unlike the previous situation where Pororo could hardly move.
Everyone sat around the small dining table for breakfast. Even Lucilia, who had recently learned to control her power to a simple degree, was at the table. In front of her was a small portion prepared especially for her.
"This sea area is different from what I thought. I expected it to be unusually dangerous," Jason said while eating.
Upon hearing this, Alka looked up at him, then said, "We haven’t entered the Endless Sea yet; we’re still in the buffer zone."
"There’s no record in the books of what lies ahead on the route; it feels so desolate here," Chadite nodded in agreent.
"Even without activating the Spell at full power, the ship’s speed is almost at its maximum."
When Alka first woke up, he tested the speed. Due to the currents and wind, the Dawn Sound was continuously pushed forward. This ant their sailing speed was comparable to the Dawn Sound sailing at full speed on a normal sea with its sails full and Spell fully activated. The waves in front of the ship were ceaselessly split to both sides. The speed was incredibly fast.
After finishing breakfast, Alka took out a peculiar map and placed it on the table. This was the real world map obtained from the Church. This map also had so annotations from Chadite. They had inquired earlier and learned that this was the original appearance of the world, passed down by the gods. Therefore, the distances between worlds and the external routes depicted were to scale and could be accurately determined. Chadite extrapolated calculations for the entire world map by taking the length of the southern border from the map of the Holand Sea. At their current speed, navigating the entire semicircular route would take them from over six months to a year to reach the final estuary, provided they encountered no unforeseen incidents.
Casually chatting like this, after breakfast, everyone beca idle again. Alka went up to the lookout tower, keeping a close watch on the surroundings. As for the others, they were bored enough to watch Lucilia train.
Looking out from this spot at the surrounding sea, the surface was not calm. The wind was quite strong, and though the waves didn’t tower high, they were layered and ceaseless. The endless blue sea always caused visual fatigue. A Mirror Surface materialized on Alka’s face. Then, an arm—ford from a confluence of black and red hues—was reflected in it.
Several Mirrors materialized around Alka’s hand, encasing his right hand. As the Mirrors shattered, Alka’s right arm also seed to break apart and transform.
This was the arm-shaped dream creature Alka had encountered in the Dream Realm the previous night. Though weak, who knows if it might possess so peculiar abilities?
Alka looked at the arm, now a form of light and shadow. This was the first ti he had ever simulated a Dream Realm creature in the outside world. Very peculiar indeed.
Simply put, once a creature from the Dream Realm enters reality, it becos almost invisible. Although Alka could see his own arm of light and shadow, to others, it appeared as if his arm was severed from the forearm, leaving only an empty space.
He raised the arm and waved it. Finally sensing sothing, he slightly loosened his control. The arm then began to sweep, each motion identical in range, distance, and force. This seed to be the arm’s special ability, or at least the one Alka had observed. It could be used with incredible precision. This ability alone would be very useful in future situations requiring precise operations. It was much more useful than those eye-like monsters, which were rely visually intimidating.
He continued to observe the surrounding sea while experinting with this arm of light and shadow, until Chadite ca up to relieve him.
He saw Chadite and Lucilia, who had co up with her; Lucilia was currently standing on Chadite’s shoulder.
Seeing this, Alka couldn’t help but smile and ask, "Getting used to it already?"
"Her training isn’t complete yet," Chadite replied, "but she can control her strength to a basic degree without much trouble now."
"Hmph!" Lucilia lifted her chin towards Alka, snorted lightly, and then jumped to the floor.
"I brought her up to continue her training for a bit," Chadite said. "You can go down and rest."
Hearing Chadite’s words, Alka nodded.
Just then, Lucilia’s voice ca from the side. She was standing on a small nearby round table, looking at the items on it. "What is this monster?" she asked. "Why haven’t I seen it before?"
On the table were so blank papers and drawing pens, alongside so small booklets for recording things. Alka had started using these items earlier during so idle ti. He was sketching and taking notes on the creatures he’d seen in the Dream Realm the previous night, preparing to compile them into an illustrated guide.
Hearing Lucilia’s question, he directly replied, "Those are monsters from the Dream Realm."
