Vanished Without a Trace

Outside, Florence, who had been standing on Biji's back with the composure of an old god, abruptly changed expression when he heard Leviathan's furious roar.

As the owner of the Ocean Veins, he did not need to deliberately decipher the language codes of sea beasts. He could sense the vocal frequencies of many sea beasts and understand their meanings; Leviathan was among them.

Leviathan's roar just now had clearly discovered something amiss beyond the door. It had been roaring at some "creature"—perhaps even some "person"—inside!

Based on the verbal guidance Florence had given Leviathan earlier, Leviathan had likely now identified the "anomaly" within as the culprit behind its being forced to become a watchdog.
