After fighting for more than 5 minutes, Kris finally killed the three Siyokoys.
Similar to a dungeon, the bodies of the monsters that got killed inside the secret realm also turn into particles before leaving items.
Kris picked up the dropped items and swam towards Alex.
[Kris: Alex, how was it? I'm pretty strong, right?]
Kris said, smiling smugly.
Alex put on a thoughtful look for a bit before saying,
[Zero: Well… it was alright.]
[Kris: Huh? What do you mean it's alright, wasn't I awesome?!]
Kris said, disagreeing with Alex's opinion.
Alex stared at her before shaking his head,
[Zero: I just said it's alright, I didn't say anything negative.]
[Zero: Nevermind, let's just continue moving forward.]
Saying that, Alex ignored Kris and walked pass her.
[Kris: Ah! Alex, wait!]
Kris hurriedly caught up to him and the two of them left unhurriedly.
As for the drop items, that can be distributed after they leave the secret realm.
Right now, both of them know that they should focus on what they have to do to avoid any problem from arising.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlex and Kris traveled the secret realm at a moderately fast speed.
Along the way, the two of them met more and more monsters of different kinds.
From Siyokoy, they also saw monsters such as Armor Krab, Hidden Jellyfish, Bloodthirsty Clam, etc.
Most of them are not really anything special and Kris alone managed to get rid of them.
While Alex just observes her from the back to make sure that nothing bad will happen to her.
And just like that, after almost an hour since they entered the secret realm, the two finally arrived at their first destination.
Pointing at a far away cave, Kris sent a message to Alex.
[Kris: Alex, do you see that? One of our goals today, the Moonlight Sand, is just inside of that cave.]
Alex followed her finger and saw an unassuming little cave in the distance.
Around the cave, there are a few seaweeds and corals that look like decorations.
Honestly, the appearance of the area around the cave looks like a fascinating underwater garden.
Whoever sees it will inevitably pause to take a few glances at that wonderful sight.
That's just how beautiful it is.
After looking at the wonderful underwater scenery, Alex started to look around the place carefully.
He wants to see if there's any powerful monster around to be on alert.
But after a while, Alex still didn't see even a normal class monster much more than a boss class one.
In his confusion, he turned to Kris and said, [Didn't you tell me that there's powerful monsters around the place where the items you need are?]
[Then why is there not even one monster around here?]
Kris immediately sent him a reply.
[Boss monsters are quite a territorial creature, you should know about that, right?]
Alex nodded and continued listening.
Kris continued, [Inside that small cave, there is a 3-Star Kraken. It is a Boss-class monster.]
[Because of that Kraken, most monsters don't dare to even approach a kilometer from the cave. That's why you can't see any monsters around here.]
Hearing that, Alex finally understood.
Then he turned his eyes to the cave and
said, [So, are you coming with me inside the cave or are you just going to wait here for me while I go and take some Moonlight Sand?]
Without hesitation, Kris replied, [Of course, I'm coming with you!]
[After all, the safest place around here is right beside you.]
Alex smiled lightly at her words.
[Alright, then, try to stay close to me as much as possible, okay?]
Kris gave an 'Okay' sign and the two of them continued heading towards the cave.
When they arrived just a few meters from the cave, Alex signaled Kris to be on alert before going inside the cave.
Slowly, they swam inside the cave while carefully looking at their surroundings.
The walls inside the cave are covered with some sort of moss that glows with blue light, giving a very magical vibe.
Thanks to that, Alex and Kris didn't have to worry about being unable to see because of the darkness.
While heading deeper into the cave, Alex suddenly felt a big tremor from the surroundings.
Gudong!
Gudong!
Soon, a figure showed itself approaching from within the cave.
With eight disgustingly long tentacles, the octopus– the Kraken made its way towards Alex and Kris.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLooking at the huge figure gradually getting closer, Kris patted Alex, saying,
[Be careful!]
Before moving backwards a little, leaving Alex to go against the Kraken.
Alex didn't say anything and just kept his eyes at the enemy in front of him.
At the same time, the Kraken also locked its eyes on Alex and roared.
"Graaaaa!"
Then suddenly, it whipped one of its tentacles towards Alex.
That tentacle was like a missile that targeted Alex without mercy, moving at an incredibly fast speed!
Seeing that, Alex avoided it without any problem.
Boom!
The tentacle hits the wall, causing it to crumble without resistance.
A lot of sand got stirred up from that attack and the place got covered by it for a while.
Soon, after the sand settled down, the inside of the cave became exposed from the outside.
The Kraken grew angrier after seeing its home being destroyed.
Alex noticed that and commented inside his head, 'Why are you getting mad at me? You're the one that destroyed your place, not me!'
Oblivious to Alex's words, the Kraken's skin suddenly started turning bright purple.
Then without warning, it spurted out a lot of black ink, turning everything into black.
Seeing that, Alex let out a curse in his heart, 'What the hell!'
Without hesitation, Alex turned around, grabbed Kris and rushed out of the cave.
After exiting the cave, Alex continued moving a few meters more before finally stopping.
After making sure that the black ink won't reach their current location, Alex turns his eyes to the Kraken covered in black ink.
Shaking his head, Alex thought, 'This one is being too troublesome!'
