Flying through the ravine then into the crystal caverns, Marcus showed Alyna the way to the special dungeon.
Along the way she stopped numerous times and stared in awe at the beaty around her, and Marcus did not have the heart to pull her away too quickly. Afterall, she had been trapped in an underground facility on an isolated island for centuries. It was only natural that she would be enraptured by the sights around her.
This made their progress actually quite slow, and it took Marcus two days to show Alyna the entire route despite the fact that they were flying at a good speed and did not have to worry about any obstacles.
"There it is. That gate is the entrance to the special dungeon." Marcus said, pointing at the large set of doors sitting in the middle of the underground lake.
As usual a powerful creature had set up its home in the location once again, but it was none the wiser to Alyna and Marcus who were currently ethereal.
'They can deal with it later. It is not like a monster of that level is any real threat to them.' Marcus thought before warping away with Alyna.
When they reappeared inside the underground facility below the resort, alarms began blaring immediately, and it was not long before all of Alyna's companions arrived.
"You are back. How did it go." Daniel asked almost immediately.
"It went well. I showed her the way. Alyna should be able to guide you whenever you want to go." Marcus replied.
After that he discussed a number of matters with Daniel, Alyna, Cassius, Vira, and Soren, before heading back up to the resort.

When he arrived back at his hotel room, he found Mrazivý lounging around drinking some sort of fruity cocktail while reading a book.
"That took longer than I thought it would. I was starting to get afraid you would not come back before it was time for us to leave." Mrazivý said with a teasing smile.
"Yeah, it was not as easy as just showing Alyna the way. She would take long pauses every now and then to take in the sights." Marcus said as he sat down next to Mrazivý.
"I can understand. It really is a sight to behold down there."
Mrazivý then closed her book, and quickly finished off the drink she had been enjoying.
"Now, despite the fact that we have come to this resort, we have not had the chance to do much swimming. We still have a few hours of sunlight, so it is time that we hit the beach." Mrazivý said enthusiastically.
Marcus however, really just wanted to sit around and do nothing for the rest of the day. Physically he was fine, but mentally he was exhausted after all he had been through.
Unlike Mrazivý who had been able to rest for the last two days he had been constantly busy since they began investigating the anomalies with this resort.
Nevertheless, there was no way he could bring things down and be a stick in the mud when his wife was raring to go.
'Anyway, just seeing her smile has given me a bit more energy. I am sure swimming in the ocean a bit will be relaxing in its own way.'
Pulling himself together, Marcus quickly shifting his clothing into swimwear and he and Mrazivý hurried over to the beach.
The water was crystal clear and with his enhanced vison Marcus could see a number of different types fish swimming around the reefs that had been cultivated in the area.
It really was an idyllic environment and exuded a sense of peacefulness.
At least it did, until Mrazivý jumped into the air and cannonballed into the water.
She even used her mana barrier to increase the surface area of the impact and send a large splash of water towards Marcus. Luckily they were the only ones around.
By the time the torrent of water had settled down, Marcus was completely soaked despite not having gotten in the water yet.
"Come on, see if you can make a bigger splash." Mrazivý said, obviously trying to entice Marcus to join in.
"You know if I really tired, I could displace all of the water within sight."
"Yeah, I could to. Just jump in already. Our goal is to cover this entire beach all the way to the wall. We have already wasted enough time, and I want to see everything there is to see here." Mrazivý said, before slamming her hand into eh water and sending another violent spray towards Marcus.
This time instead of letting it hit him, he turned ethereal and let the water pass through him.
"Fine but you asked for it." Marcus said before jumping into he water.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAbove his head he created a large iron sphere and when he hit a small tidal wave completely engulfed Mrazivý and swept her away.
Of course, while any normal person would have been at risk of drowning, for Mrazivý it was like a lax roller coaster ride.
"Looks like you are finally getting into it. Now come on. We scared all the fish in the area so we are going to have to go a bit before we can find some more." Mrazivý said, taking off towards a large reef that was about two kilometers away.
After that the two of them spent all day and a good part of the night swimming around the enclosed area behind the wall and taking in the beautiful sights.
At one point they actually attracted the attention of one of the few dangerous predators that had managed to escape detection.
It was a level eleven saltwater crocodile that was around eight feet long and had a mouth filled with razor sharp teeth.
It had likely been a miracle that it survived to reach the size it had since adventurers hunted any dangerous creatures within the resort's walls.
Unfortunately. it had targeted Mrazivý for its meal and found it had bitten off more than it could chew.
The moment it tried to bite her, Mrazivý had simply swatted its head with her hand and shook its head so hard that its neck was broken.
"I suppose that we will be having crocodile for dinner." Marcus said as he stored the now dead beast into his item box.
Not long afterwards they decided to call it a night and headed back to their room.
There they both worked together to make a vibrant dinner from the ingredients they had gathered on the island and from the ocean.
"I know it has only been a few days, but I really have missed you cooking." Mrazivý said while gorging herself on the food before her.
Going at a much slower pace Marcus tired a bit of each thing he made and took mental notes on what to try with each ingredient next time he cooked with them.
Overall, the day had been quite enjoyable, and now that they no longer had to worry about any possible threats from the resort's true rulers, they could simply enjoy their honeymoon again.
