"Cool! Well, for now, I don't have time for this. I should hurry up."
As soon as Jin arrived, he didn't waste any time to tour the towns. He immediately sprint out to the nearest hunting ground.
First, he cleaned all of the level 1-30 hunting grounds giving him 3 levels and the points where distributed solely in vitality. He was also rewarded with some A-ranked items but most of it where random items that he didn't have any interest in.
Arriving on the level 40 hunting ground, he was able to find the next drake, the Ocean Drake.
But there was a bit of a problem, Jin had to swim down the deep sea to get into the Ocean Drake's lair.
••••••••••
"Oh wait! Didn't I have the tome of the fisherman?"
Jin now had hoped. Upon contacting his body on the ocean water, he could feel a sense of comfort.
Immediately he dived down in the deep sea. He held his breath and flapped his limbs. His movement along the water was faster than any diver that has swam the ocean and as he dived down deeper, the bubbles he made on his feet turned into a torpedo giving him an extra boost.
His eyes were very clear in the dark waters and in just 20 minutes, he saw a giant dome that blocked any incoming water and he could see lights that came from hundreds of mana crystals.
'There it is! The Ocean Drake!'
Jin directly saw the only creature that was emitting a blue mana (he is still activating [Spatial Awareness]) and it was something he had never seen before.
"Puaaah!"
He gasped out air as soon as his head was inside the dome and as soon as his whole body entered the dome, he fell down the ground but safely landed leaving gush of dust sweeping on the loud crashing of his feet.
Thud!
"Finally I arrived, but first, I should get all the mana crystals around."
Quickly he moved like a wind as he easily pulled the mana crystals and placed all of it to his storage ring. It took him 5 minutes to finish this but it would've taken less if he summoned Scar but the only problem was when swimming back to the land. He was pretty sure that Scar wouldn't reach up above knowing that he didn't have any swimming techniques and even if he had, Jin was being careful not to make any mistakes.
Upon arrival in the vicinity of the Ocean Drake, he was met with the window interface.
Ting!
Ocean Drake
Rank: Guardian
Level: 80
HP: 10,000,000
"It's pretty strong for a Drake."
When looking at it, it had the same overwhelming pressure as the Mountain drake. A deep blue aura enveloped it and seeing its health that was ten times the amount of the mountain drake's Jin couldn't help but feel a slight shiver coursing down his spine.
Quickly, Jin fired a frozen arrow to inspect its defense and to see how he can easily kill it but as soon as the arrow touched the blue aura that covered the drake, the arrow was being absorbed by it.
+4900 HP
"..!"
Jin was dumbfounded by what had just happened. The arrow that was supposed to deal damage was converted into additional health that increased its own main health.
"What the fuck is this bullshit?!"
Jin couldn't help himself and swear loudly. Now he had no way of killing it using the bow, his choice now was to use dainsleif.
But before he would use dainsleif, he try something out.
"This might be a good time to use this skill. [Lone Star]"
As soon as he chanted the skill, a giant magic circle appeared on the ground on where which the ocean drake stood. No, where the ocean drake stood was the center of the wide magic circle, the magic circle had occupy almost ¾ of the entire dome so in an immediate response, Jin dashed away to try and evade the incoming attack.
"Shit!"
He sped up through the giant corals on the dome and reach the end of the barrier where it was safe and waited for the attack.
"It should be here soon."
10 seconds passed, the attack hasn't worked yet so he was wondering there might be some type of an error so when checked out his system, there was no error at all.
"What the hell is the-"
Before he could finish his sentence, right from above the dome, he could see a giant star crashing down on the deep waters. The waters on its direction of attack completely evaporated as the star slowly crashed down on the dome and upon contacting the barrier that separated the water on entering, it just crashed through it and fell down towards the ocean drake.
Dududududu!!
The giant star collapsed down the earth and the ground inside the dome trembled violently. After the powerful collision, the sand dunes burst out in all of the dome that momentarily blinded everything in sight.
"Did it die?"
Jin wasn't very sure if it had died to that attack since he didn't see any damage indicators popping up due to him being far away from the drake so quickly, he went to see what had happened to the ocean drake.
Arriving at the site, a giant crater had been formed on the ground and below in the center of the crate, there stood the ocean drake. Its body had been burnt badly and the blue scales on its body had some of it disappeared showing the gruesome burnt area that was the muscle fibers and bones.
Ting!
3,450,900/10,004,900
Its health had dropped down by almost 30% and he could see that the aura that covered it had disappeared. Seeing that it had also shrunk its size, it only meant that it went to berserk mode so he knew that would become easy to kill so he equipped dainsleif and activated another skill.
"[Starry Bind]"
Tatatatat!
Five thick white ropes bind the body of the ocean drake dealing damage and quickly Jin moved down to the drake and slashed its body up. Every slash had cut off a white rope and damage was dealt along with it.
-18,000*
-13,900
-36,000*
-27,800!
-72,000*
-27,800!
-144,000*
-27,800!
-288,000*
-27,800!

The damage with the binding dealt very heavy damage on the drake and after the last blow, the passive effect of dainsleif, [Black Flames], and the other poison effect helped deplete its health down to zero.
+33,000,000 XP
You have leveled up!
Ting!
You have slain the Ocean Drake!
Rewards:
+10 to all status
Ocean Drake's Wisdom
Ocean Drake's Key
Ting!
Ocean Drake's Wisdom: All types of skills have been enhanced by 20%.
"Oh, the second key! And another wisdom!"
Jin smiled in his achievement. Now that he had acquired the second key, his assumptions that every kingdom had only one drake was proven true. So he was now ready to go to the next kingdom. But before he was going to go, there were 5 items dropped by the ocean drake as soon as it died and all of the rankings of these items where S-ranked so he jumped in happiness and satisfaction.
Ting!
Due to the disappearance of the Ocean Drake, the hunting ground will disappear in 10 minutes.
00:00:00:09:59
"I'll check these items later."
Jin placed the items on his spatial inventory and dived back to land. He safely exited the hunting ground and proceeded instantly to the next kingdom.
••••••••
Upon arriving on the next kingdom, the Emerald Kingdom, there he moved towards the outskirts of the kingdom and checked for the lowest hunting grounds but first, he needed to check the items.
Just right after he checked the first item, his eyes widened and his jaw dropped after seeing it's description.
"Wow!"
