The time right now was around past midnight, maybe 2 to 3 in the morning.

At this moment, Leo is just sitting at a corner, feeling really sleepy.

He really underestimated the effects of tirelessly using his Magic power for over 100 times. It was entirely different from what he was used to doing in the past. Not only does it affect his energy but also his spirit and mind, hence causing him to easily get more tired every round he repeated his plan.

It's literally like the conversion of physical labor compared to doing Magic labor is 1 is to 5, at least for him.

Like for example, if he carries a heavy box using his strength alone, he will only use a small amount of energy. On the other hand, using a Magic spell to carry a heavy box would cost him to consume 5 times the amount of energy, plus a toll on his spirit and mind.

Although using Magic spell was convenient, really, but he just found out that it only applies to those who had trained themselves in using their Magic power for a long time already. As for Leo, he hasn't still trained that much time with his Magic power yet, causing him to easily get tired every time he uses anything related to Magic and Mana.

"Axel, take Leo with you!" Murgan said the moment he arrived on the top of the boat.

It was now Murgan's group turn to keep watch.

Murgan had heard from Axel the moment he arrived just how much Leo had done in order for the boat to arrived in less than 10 kilometers away to finally reach Blue Fin Kingdom, though not what Leo had exactly used to achieve such a thing. And, seeing Leo closing his eyes from time to time, it was really obvious to see that he is already feeling really tired and was just pushing himself due to the responsibility that teacher Homer had put on his shoulder.

"It's okay, I'll keep on watching!" Leo shook his head as he tried to stand up. But he quickly lost balance and nearly crash to the floor, luckily his reflexes were fast enough to hold to the side.

"Nah, it's time for you to sleep!" Axel arrived in front of Leo as he helped him walk downstairs towards an empty cabin.

Aiden also quickly lends his help.

Leo wasn't able to fight back anymore since he was already extremely tired. And his body was also telling him to take a rest.

The moment Leo laid in a wooden bed, he quickly fell asleep.

Anyway, Leo was also not that worried about the safety of the boat since a Water Elemental was currently keeping watch underneath the boat and an Earth Elemental in a form of a Golem is guarding the top of the boat to help Murgan's group guard for any danger.

.....

A light that went past from a small hole in the top of the ceiling of the cabin caused Leo to quickly wake up from his sleep.

"How long was I sleeping?" Leo stretched his body before he slowly walks back to the top of the boat.

"Oh, Leo, you're finally awake!" Axel quickly greeted the moment he saw Leo walking upstairs.

"Yeah. By the way, where are we now?" Leo can't help but ask while rubbing his still sleepy eyes.

"We have already arrived!" Murgan suddenly arrived at the side.

Hearing Murgan's words, Leo became fully awake as he quickly began looking around all over the place.

At this moment, the boat was now docked in a docking area, or at least something that has a similar function to that. To be honest, their boat right now was actually just floating a bit far away from the land, specifically a place where the water is deep enough for the boat to not hit the ocean floor.

The docking area really looks different from the Humans coastal city. He could still see some 'actual' boats, really different to their boat that looked similar to a tree, but there is no wall that acts as a barricade that separates the water from the land and there is also no wharf that leads to the deep part of the water where boats could perfectly dock in place. And instead, they only have stairs, just plain and simple stairs made out of stones.

Though, he quickly understood the reason for why the Mermaid race had made it into stairs.

Just from a bit of a distance from the boat, he immediately saw a female Mermaid that swam from the ocean before her tail quickly turned into a Human's feet the moment she arrived near the stairs as she then walked using the stairs to arrive in the land.

"Marvelous isn't it!" Ehtelyn arrived behind Leo.

"Yeah..." Leo nodded his head. It was indeed marvelous, but maybe it's only because this was his first time seeing an actual person of the Mermaid race.

"I was also shocked just like you the moment I first saw them!" Axel nodded his head in understanding of what Leo was feeling right now, "I only read such a thing through books, but seeing such a scene myself is really different experience!"

"It's really shocking that the mermaid race looked almost identical to us, Humans..." Leo said. Aside from fins located in the side of their hands and feet, scales similar to those of fish in some parts of their body, and gills in both sides of their neck, the Mermaid race would almost look like Humans the moment they turned their tails into feet.

Moreover, just by looking at the city in front of them, he could immediately assume that the Mermaid race actually lives both in the land and water, something that wasn't mentioned in the books he had read before since all the books mentioned they lived underwater.

"Not only is that shocking Leo!" Murgan interrupted, "Look at that!"

Looking at the direction Murgan was pointing at, specifically a few meters in the back of the boat, Leo immediately saw a line of whirlpools.

"That is their walls!" Murgan explained, "Shocking right?"

"H*ck, how did we cross that?" Leo gasped in amazement.

"Actually, just a few minutes after you and Axel's group fell asleep, a scout of the Mermaid race found our boat. Teacher Homer then appeared, talked with them, and finally, they volunteered to escort us." Murgan explained, "I don't really know how it works, but any part of those line of whirlpools could actually disperse until a boat finally pass through."

"Oh..." Leo finally understood that it's because of Magic, "By the way, where are the others?"

"Teacher Homer went to have a meeting with the Commander of this West Fortress, Aiden, Matthew, and Darwin went to look around the city to satisfy their curiosity, and Melthy and Tiffany went to buy some ingredients to cook some food." Ehtelyn replied, "Oh, speak of the devil!"

At this moment, a small boat was coming towards them with Aiden, Matthew, David, Melthy, and Tiffany rowing the wooden paddles.

"F*ck, it's really tiring to rowboats!" Aiden said in displeasure. Well, who won't? If only there was a wharf or something similar to that, then it wouldn't be such a hassle just to return back to the boat.

"What do you expect from Mermaids, Aiden?" Darwin rolls his eyes. Mermaids are a sea-dwelling race, to begin with, so having a city in the land is the best thing they can hope for. If the Mermaid race only had a city underwater, then they would be facing a much more troublesome situation, since it's obviously really hard to enter the city or even notice their city if it's submerged underwater.

"Look, Ehtelyn!" Melthy called out while carrying a basket in her hand.

"Wow, what's that!" Ehtelyn's eyes lit up.

"This is a Sea Cucumber, Sapphire Lobster, Ruby Crab, Crystal Scale Fish, Black Shell Oyster, Pearl Clams, and these are some sea vegetables!" Tiffany introduced the ingredients they had bought, "We asked the shopkeepers and they told us that these sea vegetables almost taste like those vegetables we Humans planted in our farmlands."

"What's their difference, then?" Ehtelyn curiously asked.

"They are a bit salty..." Tiffany replied, "Though it can easily be fixed using this Coral Fruit!"

"You obviously don't know this, but this Coral Fruit could actually decrease the saltiness of any dishes to a perfect level! Simply put, no matter what dish we cook, as long as we add a Coral Fruit, the dish saltiness would be adjusted automatically to a satisfying taste!" Melthy explained enthusiastically.

"Such fruit actually exists!" Leo, Axel, and the others can't help gasping in amazement.

"What are we waiting for, let's start preparing our breakfast!" Ehtelyn excitedly said.

Just by looking at all the ingredients Melthy and Tiffany had bought, the dishes they would be cooking was obviously going to be delicious, especially those Sapphire Lobsters and Ruby Crab. Just by mentioning the word lobster and crab alone is already enough to explain that the dishes would turn out to be satisfying and delicious.

"Okay!" Melthy nodded her head.

"Roger that!" Tiffany saluted.

Melthy and Tiffany quickly went down to the kitchen in the boat to begin cooking.

"I'm also very curious about this, but when is teacher Homer returning?" Leo suddenly asked. Every minute right now was precious, so if teacher Homer would take a long time to persuade the people who hold power over this place to send help, everyone back in the Floating Mountain would definitely die, which would also deem their efforts useless.

"They immediately left the moment we enter this fortress, so maybe..." Axel wasn't able to finish his words when teacher Homer suddenly appeared.

"Leo, the Commander of this fortress wants to see you and that little Leviathan!" Teacher Homer said as he slowly landed on the boat.

Hearing teacher Homer's words, Leo immediately felt cautious.

Well, who won't? That Commander's words obviously meant something pretty obvious.

"Don't worry, she doesn't want to take Levi away from you, she simply wants to see proof that a Leviathan really appeared!" Teacher Homer said with assurance.

Leo simply rolls his eyes after hearing the teacher Homer's words. No normal person wouldn't desire of having a Leviathan as a Beast Companion. If even Lu Ming, a Galaxy level Mage, went to great lengths just to have a Leviathan, then how much more this Commander of the Mermaid race.

"Trust me!" Teacher Homer persuaded once again.

"Okay..." Leo could only helplessly agree.. If he doesn't go right now, then Cassandra and the other's situation would definitely become much more dangerous.
