“There’s air inside, at least. Looks like we won’t have to wander around a dungeon filled with water.”

“Yeah, thank goodness…”

Leviathan's gate was completely submerged in water, terrifying even A-rank hunters who entered first. But this time, there was air inside. The ground was wet and slippery, seawater dripped from the ceiling, and moisture clung to the walls so heavily that every breath tasted salty. But at least we could breathe.

This was far better than exploring underwater. I dropped the load I’d been carrying. A wet squelching sound accompanied the large octopus tentacle as it landed on the floor.

“…You’re really going to take that with us?”

Karna, who had been anxiously watching me, asked with a trembling voice. Despite being a Royal Guard knight, she seemed incredibly nervous, clearly uncomfortable with seafood.

“I went through the trouble of packing it, so I might as well.”

I patted the enormous tentacle, which was as long as I was tall and much thicker than my torso. All eight pieces were neatly wrapped up and ready to be delivered to land.

I still couldn’t determine whether this thing was a monster from the gate or just a regular octopus that had grown too large. It had tried to flee when a few of its tentacles were cut off, but that wasn’t enough to make a solid judgment.

I’d examined it thoroughly after capturing it, but there wasn’t much I could discern. I wasn’t exactly an expert on sea creatures.@@novelbin@@

‘Not my job to figure it out anyway.’

That was a task for the Mage Tower. If I handed it off to the Mage Association, they’d classify it. If they refused, I’d just make someone else handle it.
