Chapter 916 Arrival
"Goddamn beast!" Captain Jorvik roared as he pushed his power to the limit, protecting and controlling the ship as it fell.
He had no time to focus on the shadows approaching, ones much more dangerous than what they just faced.
The first wave of sea beasts soon shot out of the water, completely shadowing the boat. All the sailors looked up as the sun was blotted out, only to pale in fear. They grabbed their weapons, ready to strike, despite knowing their efforts were useless. Even if they could take down a few, none of them were strong enough to eliminate them all.
They could only put their hope into the other three passengers...
Celaine closed her eyes, holding her saber at her side, ready to draw. She sensed all the lifeforms around her, finding their weak points. Then, in an instant, her eyes shot open.
A divine light arched from her saber. Blood splattered, and heads fell, all without making a sound. She re-sheathed her saber and prepared for the next onslaught, using her Wind Qi to stabilize herself on the ship.
The bodies threatened to return to the ocean, but Maria hopped up, quickly collecting all of them. "I got the next ones!" She yelled. Celaine merely nodded, waiting for her turn.
As soon as her words fell, a massive shark-like beast burst out of the water with its gaping maw open, attempting to swallow the boat whole.
Maria chuckled and shot a shadowy golden beam out of her finger into the depths of its mouth. The beast paused, confused. Until it felt pain all over its body. It roared and thrashed about, trying to find the cause. Bubbles formed all over its skin, popping, exploding chunks of skin with it.
A second later, the shark ballooned up and burst into a rain of blood and guts, coloring the ocean red.
Celaine and everyone on board shivered at the potency of that technique. They'd seen it a few times before, but to think it'd work on such a giant monster...
"What...What technique is that again?" Celaine asked hesitantly, reminding herself that maybe she shouldn't provoke Maria in the future.
"Hm?" Maria looked over and smiled. "Oh, that? I like to call it Demonic Restoration~! I use something called Corrupted Light Qi to infest their body, corrode their lifeforce, and use that to turn them inside out~! Then, POP!"
"...So, the opposite of your Transcendent Restoration Technique, huh?"
"Yup~!"
"How... fitting," Celaine murmured, a little frightened. Who knew healers could be so terrifying? How was anyone supposed to fight against something like that?
But, that arose another question.
'Since when did Maria have that ability?' Celaine didn't remember her being able to produce anything like "Corrupted Light Qi" before. Shaking her head, she closed her eyes, focusing on the incoming forces. 'It's probably because she died, right? Or maybe, like Mira, she evolved into something not human as well?'
All the air inside the bubble, water, and beyond swarmed around her saber, infusing with it. Then, with her authority as a Saber Ruler, she brought down her blade like a god unleashing divine judgment.
A massive green beam descended onto the whale, piercing its skin like butter, going all the way through and beyond. Hundreds, if not thousands, of weaker beasts were shredded in the process, transforming the ocean into a sea of red.
Quickly diving into the water, she stored the whale's corpse and appeared back on the boat, where Captain Jorvik commanded his crew to bring them out of this hell!
They didn't need to be told twice!
Within minutes, the tip of the ship pierced the water wall and splashed onto the water below, creating mini waves that soaked everyone standing around the harbor.
Under the shocked eyes of the Northern Continent citizens, Captain Jorvik successfully docked the ship before throwing everyone off and storing it in his Spatial Ring. On the outside, he looked like a wet, weathered old man who had been through hell and back, all while maintaining an indifferent expression. But, on the inside, he was crying.
'My... My poor baby. I'm so sorry... I'll never travel these accursed waters again!' Just thinking about the repair costs made him want to drop to his knees, but he tried to push that to the side and turned to his crew.
"Go get some rest. We're going to be here for a while."
The crew just grunted and walked along the harbor toward the closest inn. The starved business owners took advantage of this and dragged them to their inns.
"Woah~! So, this is the Northern Continent, huh?" Maria exclaimed as she shivered slightly, feeling the cold pierce her skin. "A lot fewer people than back home."
"No shit. Look at what these people have to look at every day?" Celaine rolled her eyes and pointed to the massive water wall behind them. "I bet most of the people left as soon as that appeared."
"...Good point."Maria nodded slowly, holding Nova in her arms. "Well, enough of that! Let's go find Mira!"
"Pay the poor Captain first!" Celaine shouted, snapping her friend back to reality. However, she understood Maria must be feeling quite complicated.
"Ah. Y-Yeah. My bad." Maria stuttered, shaking her head. "Captain!" She waved, flagging down Jorvic, who just groaned and glared at her.
"Here's your payment! Thanks for taking us here! I really appreciate it!"
"...Just, don't contact me again," Jorvic caught the spatial ring and muttered, exhausted. He really wanted nothing more to do with Mira's gang anymore. They brought him nothing but trouble! "Go to the Crystal Spire. They should have information about Mira." He said, giving them one last piece of advice before he floated up in the air and disappeared.
"Thanks! See you later!"
Captain Jorvic nearly stumbled and crashed hearing those words, and he sped up, wanting to get as far away from here as possible.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
