"What the hell is that? Is it disturbing my sleep?" Mofan yawned and got out of bed. He was still wearing his white pajamas.
The others were also woken up by the alarm and walked out of their rooms.
Mofan saw a red light flashing. He vaguely felt that it was a bit like the light of the Blood Alert. His face suddenly turned ugly. He said to himself, "Are you kidding me? Will something happen to every city I go to?"
After carefully identifying it, Mofan realized that it was not the light of the city's alarm. It was just a reminder from the West Guard Pavilion's sentry post to alert the West Guard Pavilion.
The patrol team was busy walking around. They could see that they were heading to the pavilion. Taking advantage of the large number of people, Mofan blended in with the Japanese and ran to the pavilion to see what was going on.
… …
On the towering white sentry tower, Admiral Takagi and Mochizuki No Ken were already standing there. Behind them were a group of Japanese guards. They were all staring at the sea about five or six kilometers away.
The sea was some distance away from the West Guard Pavilion. The ripples in the sea were reflecting the bright moonlight. Something was surging in the silver sea. The waves hit the high reefs one after another, scattering bigger sparkles.
The turbulence was coming from the sea, but looking at it, there was nothing there except for the unusual turbulence in the sea.
"What the hell is that?" Mochizuki No Ken stared at the sea and said in horror.
"I'm not sure," Admiral Takagi said calmly.
In the sea near Osaka, the people of the West Guard Pavilion scattered a lot of buoys. These buoys usually did not have any abnormalities. They would only send back signals when they were alarmed by creatures.
Occasionally, some creatures in the sea would touch these buoys, but it was rare for more than a hundred buoys to send out the alarm at the same time.
Most importantly, the information that the buoys sent back was that it was the work of the same creature!
Each of the buoys was three to four meters apart from each other. It was obvious that the creature that had appeared on the coast of Osaka City was a gigantic sea monster!!
"Commander Takagi, the creature seems to be diving into the deep sea," a commander descended from the sky and withdrew his Wind Wings.
"Ran away?" General Takagi was confused.
Since there was a deep-sea monster that broke into the sea near the city, it should have a purpose. Admiral Takagi was ready to fight at any time, but who knew that it would end up like this.
"Maybe he just accidentally stepped into our human territory," Mochizuki No Ken said.
"It's not a coincidence. High-level sea monsters have a certain level of intelligence. It's impossible that they don't know that this is human territory." General Takagi glanced at the distant sea, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "I'll personally ask to see it!"
General Takagi summoned a muscular beast. The beast had the head of a tiger, but a pair of gray wings on its back. The wings were around eight meters long when they were fully extended. They were stronger than the wings of some giant eagles.
The gray winged tiger carried General Takagi into the sky. It only beat its wings a few times and flew a few hundred meters away. It soon turned into a tiny dot as it approached the sea.
"So that's General Takagi's Sky Ridge Beast, how enviable," a soldier exclaimed.
"I heard that it's a Contracted Beast that's close to the Ruler-level. If he's lucky enough to evolve successfully, General Takagi will become one of the best Summoners in Osaka City!" another soldier said.
"Yeah, General Takagi has been stationed at the West Guard Pavilion for some time. With his strength, he should be here by now … hey, who are you? Don't trespass on the sentry post!" the soldier from before pulled a long face when he saw an uninvited guest.
Mochizuki No Ken turned around and saw a young man in a sleeping robe.
The young man was still rubbing his eyes, as if he had just woken up.
"Mofan, you shouldn't be here," Mochizuki No Ken said.
"Oh, I'm just here to see what's going on, and if there's anything I can help you with. The whole West Guard Pavilion seems to be in a panic," Mofan asked curiously.
"Where was the sea? A giant creature showed up, but it seems to have retreated, "Mochizuki No Ken replied.
The alert gradually faded. As an important fortress close to the sea, the West Guard Pavilion was heavily guarded. It was necessary to be on alert twenty-four hours a day. It was not unusual for the alarm to go off.
"A giant creature? How big was it?" Mofan asked casually.
"Actually, we're not too sure. Our people probably didn't see the creature's true appearance. They only detected its presence through some instruments, but it seems to have left," Mochizuki No Ken said.
"Yeah, more than a hundred buoys were triggered at once. I almost thought that an entire group of Magical Beasts had launched a sneak attack on Osaka. Fortunately, it was just a creature that wandered in by mistake."
Mofan looked in the direction of the sea suspiciously. At this time, the sea with the silver moonlight had completely calmed down. The sparkling surface of the sea reflected the slanted moon, as well as the stars. It looked fascinating.
"Since there's nothing else, I'm going to sleep," Mofan said.
"Well, go ahead. Even if something happens, our West Guard Pavilion can easily deal with it," Mochizuki No Ken said.
"That's good."
"Student, don't wander into the pavilion next time!"
"Ahem, I'll go down now."
"Ozawa, send him off," Mochizuki No Ken asked a soldier to escort Mofan to the pavilion.
"You're making it sound like I'm going to run around here …" Mofan said.
…
The soldier called Ozawa followed closely behind Mofan, making sure that Mofan would not go anywhere he was not supposed to.
As they went down the stairs, they happened to pass by the drawbridge. Mofan glanced at the drawbridge that was lowered and asked Ozawa curiously, "Why is the drawbridge lowered? Wasn't that supposed to be a forbidden area? "
"It's time for the guards to change shifts. I don't think the guards are going to stay there for a few days, right?" Ozawa replied.
"By the way, what exactly does the East Guard Pavilion do? Why are you being so secretive about it …" asked Mofan.
"That's why …"
