"Ars, are you sure about this?'

Arlene represents the question that everyone doubts.

All of them were in Ars' Manila galleon. A big sailing ship that can carry 400 people and 1000 tons of cargo.

However, the ship docked on the beach without water. Because the beach was drained because of the Great Tornado that was going on.

The biggest tides event always occurs every year at the turn of the year on Ocean.

By the way, Manila galleon was not intended to fight the Great Tornado since it's just a merchant ship. 

Manila galleon has different destination but the same direction where the Great Tornado is.

To reach the destination, Manila galleon being paired with eight wooden tires with two tires on each four sides. Like a big freaking ship truck.

Ars is the captain of the ship. The crews were his men, and some came from the Fisherman village.

There are two categories of passengers on board. Regular and special passengers.

Regular passengers are hunters who want to follow Ars down to Floor 3. Special Passengers are Ars' family, Alexander, and Huxian. 

The three Emperor will leave Floor 2 to come down to the next floor. 

The remaining power will finally catch up the never ending expedition.

"We are ready to slide down, Captain!"

One crew shouts to Ars, inform that they are ready to go.

"Alright! Lift the anchor! Expand the screen! Let this ship slide into the deeper abyss!"

At Ars' command, the anchor was lifted, the entire screen was fully expanded. The ship begins to slide down to the waterless ocean.

People on the Fisherman villages waves their hand as a goodbye and have a safe trip to the ship. 

"There they went."

Not many important people said goodbye to the ship.

As Huxian's representative, Hera only accompanied by a few servants and Mike Sparrow to see her master leave.

"Will their joining will end the game?" asked Hera. 

The question only just for herself. But Mike responds to that. 

"Don't you believe in them?"

"It's not a matter of believe or not. But whether they can win over something that is beyond human reason or not."

Mike didn't understand what Hera was talking about. But as a Legend Hunter, he already fought so many things beyond human reason. 

"So, let's just believe in them."

Manila galleon keep sliding down the waterless ocean. Due to the uneven ground, the galeon got shaken a lot.

Ars placed several casters to balance the ship from falling.

Only brave people and crew on board the ship.

Arlene was on Ars side. Meanwhile, the other harem inside. From the five harem who followed Ars, only she is passionate about the extreme ride through the waterless ocean.

"How far is it to the pits, Ars?"

"A bit more."

They have been sliding for about 200m from the dock.

"Casters, get ready!"

At Ars' order, two casters stood at the front of the ship with their Arts ready to launch.

"Now!"

At the moment Ars shout that order, the ship float between the ocean ravines. 

"A ravine?!"

Everyone other than the crew was shocked to see a large ravine below them.

The ship rocketing from the between to the wall of the ravine. 

"We are going to crash!"

Everyone other than the crew started to panic.

But right at that moment, the front caster cast their Arts and open a hole big enough for the ship to enter. 

The ship fall to a stream inside a big cave.

"Close the opening hole!"

The caster closed the hole they made for entering. Leaving a gap that only people can get out and enter. 

Everyone got goosebump on that act just now. Even the crew cannot hide their shock that the action was that intense. 

"Lower the anchors!"

Only Ars remained calm after experiencing all that.

"Alright! Get everyone off the ship!"

Before actually descending past the Abyss Pit, Ars had a few words he wanted to say.

"You all can go back by yourself, Fishermen?"

The fishermen only there to help the ship board to that cave. When the ship safely enters the cave, then their duty is over. 

"Don't worry! We know this Ocean better than anyone!"

With that, the Fishermen leave the cave by their own. 

Ars silently said his gratitude towards them. 

Then, the 400 people on the ship finally get out from the ship. 

Ars' family and his subordinates were standing behind him. Meanwhile, The people who wanted to follow Ars down to the 3rd Floor, the Hunters and several Citizens who were merchants, stood facing Ars.

All of them were ready to hear Ars' words. 

"At the end of this stream is the Abyss Pit. The Great Deep Waterfall. A month ago I already experienced the fall to the bottom of that waterfall."

Everyone except Ars' subordinates shocked. 

Abyss Pit is a really deep hole lead to another Floor. Floor 1 Abyss Pit is 3000m deep. Floor 2 Abyss Pit cannot be measured the deepness. Floor 3 Abyss Pit on North Region said that the deepness is exceed 7000m deep. 

Then there is the Ocean Floor 3 Abyss Pit. The deepness is unknown. Yet Ars said that he was experienced himself the deepness.

"And yeah, this Pit lead to Floor 3!"

Those words releasing the spirit of all Hunters. 

At first, they were doubting that Ars would say something selfish and that can worry them. 

"I can even say that we can create a path back to this Floor after we descend! But don't have high hopes, because that will definitely take a long time."

Hearing that they could return to Floor 2 after they got down to Floor 3 alone already made them happy.

"Therefore, never regret your decision to follow me! Because we are going to conquest this Abyss!"

"YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHH!"

Ars' ambition was rewarded by the burning enthusiasm of all Hunters.

Those who weren't Hunters were overwhelmed by all that excitement.

After that briefing, the Citizens and the Hunters who didn't have much power got into the ship. Meanwhile, the rest stay outside to experienced the fall to Floor 3 Abyss Pit. 

"Alright! Let's descend to the next floor!"
