Monster Girl Ranching in Another World

The world seemed to collapse on me as the horde of sea monster fish, sharks, and whales. All their eyes glowed a strange pink but brighter and more neon than what I had produced.

"What are you going to do?!" Hydie asked in a panicked voice. ​​

"Get us out of this, but I need you to make sure that you are holding on to Missy. I can't do this and hold her," I said, and I felt Missy press into me, and I let go of her, but there was a Hammerhead shark with arms coming at me.

Right before it got close enough to hit me, I knifed my arm into the place where the long hammerhead met its neck, closing my fist at the last moment. There was a snap, and the shark was sent spinning into the next one that was coming for me, sending them both spinning through the water away from me.

I started to swim up fast and used the claw of a monstrous lobster that tried to attack me, boosting me up.

It was no good, and the monsters started to follow me up in a spiral. And bare dodge their normal spearfish, but then darkness started to surround me.

I started to swim forward at the mouth I had been scooped into, filled with teeth, and was closing fast. I hadn't even seen the shark, but the mouth was like half a football field that was sucking me back at the same time as I tried to escape.

Suddenly, right before the mouth could close and seal our fate, the craziest thing happened. The other Megalodon came and bit the button jaw off the one that was about to eat us.

We were somehow missed, and the now dying Megalodon was flailing away from us. I was already trying to swim away again.

Chaos was unfolding around me, but I kept swimming. A tentacle tried to wrap around my waist, but it fell away limply.

I looked back briefly and couldn't believe what I was seeing, but I turned back and swam as fast as I could. Everyone was fighting, and it was almost impossible to see anything with all the blood that was filling the water in a dark cloud.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! WHY ARE MY LOVERS KILLING EACH OTHER AND NOT YOU?! I WANT THAT POWER INSIDE OF YOU!"

The screech cut through the water like a knife, and it sounded like I was above the water, and that just made me redouble my efforts. Whatever wanted me sounded angry, so I didn't need to feel free to know that I needed to get the hell out of there.

"What just happened?" Hydie asked as we got almost halfway back to the shore.

I wasn't going back to the Sahuagin village tonight; it had to be well past midnight and getting to the morning. I had a sneaking suspicion about the series of events that had happened.

"I don't know for sure, but I think that it had something to do with the same blessing that protects Mary. If you have met her, you must know what I am talking about," I said as I swam just below the water's surface.

Missy had fallen asleep on my chest.

"Hmm, I guess that makes sense, and I don't really want to overthink it; we are alive. What are we going to do now?" Hydie asked.

"Home, it is almost morning and the best time to get back home. Plus, having Missy with us will make the trip that much easier if something does attack us, but I have to ask something of you," I told Hydie.

"You want me to stay around Missy, right? I figured as much, and I know that we are going to be leaving soon, so I don't need to worry about doing it for very long, right?" Hydie asked me.

"That is the plan, but I still don't know how we are going to get off the island. I don't even know if we have a boat yet, and I don't know how to break through the barrier either. I haven't even seen it yet, so I don't really know what that even is," I said as I could see the shore coming up.

"The seal just requires that you reach over the level often with your class. F Ranked demons can't get past level five, but they can get much stronger than that. The barrier is more of a guardian that reads your level before leaving. When you leave, you will be able to take anyone that is in your party, so all of us girls, and my father and the other three," Hydie explained as I stood from the water, starting to walk out onto the beach.

The night was starting to be burned away from the sky, and I started to run to the path and pushed myself. I was starting to get tired; I had been up for an entire day at this point, but I got a lot done, and now it was just time for me to get home, but something was bothering me about the explanation.

"What about Mex and the others at the castle? I can't leave them behind," I said as I came up to the plateau that Hydie used to live in.

"Then you need to kill Doa, or you will have to leave Mex and some of the others behind. You will also have to add them to your party somehow, but I don't know how that would work with the system you have. My father explained everything that he learned from you, so I have a pretty good idea of what your system does," Hydie explained as I passed the plateau, and I started for the Fire lake.

<The system will allow you to take helpers, but you will have to convince them that they have to become your servants. If they take the offer, they will become your slaves and have to follow your every order, but that will get them off the island with you.>

I was supposed to convince Nixi of this?
