*Twenty-two hours later.*
Within the deepest part of the Basement Floor, directly in front of Charymos's throne, a "gate" appeared and the Kraken Spawn leisurely stepped into his chambers.
[What a surreal thing...]
Looking behind him, he saw the gate unravel and become undone, the bright purple reflected in his eyes gradually dimming.
[... To me, it was but a mere moment. To think it spanned for an entire day.]
His brows slightly furrowed and he scanned every corner of his chambers, the sea creatures visible from his glass walls scattering at his presence.

[That's strange, where are my Mermen?]
[Could it be...?]
He balled up a fist.
[...Has that Lamprey's subordinates already taken my possessions?]
Charymos grit his teeth at the mere thought of it, but based on his calculations, he should have been able to reach the Basement Floor at the latest, a few minutes after Veladreth's subordinates.
"Tch..."
He clicked his tongue and...
"Oi, pest."
