Chapter 1119: Involved
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
It was the fifth day, and Abel sat in the hall with the 3 legendary wizards. The ocean was especially violent on that day; even the ancient submarine was becoming unstable.
Currents lashed forward. The ocean was almost like a piece of h.e.l.l.
If Abel were in a normal submarine, it would have already been destroyed.
However, Abel and the wizards did not care about the weather because they sensed something even more dangerous.
2 powerful energies were mangling each other.
“Master Bennett, please stop the submarine!” Wizard Dolan said with a serious tone.
The ancient submarine slowly came to a halt after another 10 meters.
“Wizard Dolan, what did you sense?” Abel saw the serious look on the wizards’ faces and asked.
“We are in big trouble. 2 powerful sea monsters are fighting each other. Our submarine will be destroyed if we keep moving forward!” Wizard Dolan replied.
“We still have half a day to go!” Wizard Galon said in irritation.
“Galon, your luck has been very good until this point. We will be in even more trouble if we fly!” Wizard Doran interrupted.
No one in the submarine would dare to reach out their power of will. But, if they did, those 2 powerful sea monsters would be able to notice them.
After all, an intruder of a fight would be killed first.
“Master Bennett, is your dragon druid this strong?” Wizard Doran suddenly turned to Abel and smiled.
Abel was caught off guard. He couldn’t figure out what she was saying all of a sudden.
“Normal big druids would already be suppressed under this energy!” Wizard Doran smiled.
The energy unleashed by those sea monsters was scary, but Abel had the world stone and his blue dragon ident.i.ty. The high elves also cleansed his soul of the Dark World so that he could withstand it.
Wizard Dolan and Wizard Galon also turned their heads and surprised at how powerful Abel was.
Even they had a hard time withstanding the energy.
Even legendary wizards didn’t want to get too close. It was the reason why Wizard Dolan stopped the submarine.
The big races ruled most Continents of the world, but the ocean was always forbidden ground due to how vast it was, and the power its beasts possessed was far greater than any professionals on land.
On top of the harsh conditions of the ocean, sea monsters were the masters of their territory.
“Thank you!” Abel did not want to say much about his ability, so he just brushed it off.
The 3 legendary wizards also did not say too much. After all, Abel had a contract with the tree of life and had a special relations.h.i.+p with the G.o.ddess of the moon.
“Quick, retreat!” Wizard Dolan suddenly called.
Abel also knew something was strong, and it seemed like the battle was heading their way.
He did not even have time to connect to the submarine spirit as he directly connected his power of the will to the operation circle to back up.
At the same time, he saw the 2 sea monsters battling. Their bodies were humongous, which was expected considering their rank.
The ocean was full of food and resources. So a sea monster with a powerful bloodline could easily grow, especially without the intervention of professionals.
Those sea monsters were more than 50 meters long, at least a few times bigger than the most powerful spiritual beasts on land.
One was a squid with countless tentacles, and the other was a giant sea turtle. The former was nimble, and the latter had a hard sh.e.l.l for protection.
The squid lashed out with one of its tentacles, and a strike of lightning blasted on the hard sh.e.l.l of the sea turtle.
However, the sea turtle was clearly much faster than the squid. Its sh.e.l.l was almost like a magic circle, with complicated patterns of golden lines running throughout.
A golden glow flashed when the lightning struck, and it was completely defused.
The attack of the sea turtle was simple. Speeding forward with this head in its sh.e.l.l.
Abel could see a pair of sharp teeth from the retracted head of the turtle. It was definitely not a kind-hearted being.
The giant squid would step back with every strike. It seemed like it didn’t want to get too close to the sea turtle.
Still, it was a 50 meters tall super beast. Each strike it made caused a vicious current in the ocean.
It was why the conditions were so harsh earlier.
Still, the sea monsters were not approaching them that quickly as they fought.
“Weird, those 2 sea monsters should have their own territory. Why are they fighting?” Wizard Galon said curiously.
“I know right? Powerful sea monsters don’t normally get near each other. The ocean has more than enough s.p.a.ce!” Wizard Dolan also added.
The ocean had seemingly endless amounts of resources.
They had been traveling for 5 days, but the ground they covered was almost unnoticeable considering the overall size of the ocean. Yet, they ran into 6 or 7 legendary sea monsters already, which was very strange.
“Are we entering a sea monster gathering ground?” Wizard Dolan gasped.
Not just normal sea monsters, but legendary ones. Considering how many they came across in just a few days, there should be more around.
All legendaries could fly, and the wizards would still have a speed advantage with their flashes, but the lighting elements of that squid had the ability to transfer through water which made flas.h.i.+ng much harder.
The wizards just got a taste of it, and they knew it would be tough for them to come out alive if they were to face the thing head-on.
As the wizards were chatting amongst themselves, the giant sea turtle suddenly gave out a big roar, and a golden beam shot out from its sh.e.l.l towards all directions and formed a circular blast.
All water around it blasted outward and immediately formed a dome.
The target of the blast was the squid. However, its giant body quickly flashed and teleported a kilometer away.
The wizards were stunned. This was basically moving in a flash.
This meant they would lose all advantages if they were to face the thing.
The squid had made its escape, but the submarine was not as lucky. It was not fast enough to escape the golden blast.
Soon, Abel and the wizards heard some cracking sound, and the ancient submarine was sent flying outward like an arrow.
The invisible s.h.i.+eld of the ancient submarine immediately faded, and many magic circles on its surface were damaged with countless cracks. With one more hit, this ancient technology would cease to exist from the face of the earth.
However, this did not leave Abel and the wizards any better off. With the energy hidden ability gone, they were completely exposed to the sea monsters.
Just when the sea monsters were about to strike each other again, they suddenly turned towards the ancient submarine.
“Master Bennett, stay here. We’ll lure the sea monsters away!” Wizard Dolan nodded to the others and said.
It was the best choice they had, luring the monsters away so that Abel could minimize his chance of coming in contact with them.
The legendaries were not confident that they could escape with Abel alongside them, so it was best for Abel to stay away to maintain his safety.
Abel was only a rank 21 druid. His energy would not attract the monsters as much as the 3 legendary wizards’
The 3 legendary wizards had worked with each other for a long time, and they knew exactly what to do with a single gaze.
They flashed simultaneously and fully unleashed their power as they flew straight out of the water. Afterward, they attacked as they kept flas.h.i.+ng.
Of course, Abel did not stay still as well. Instead, he hid his energy with his transformation necklace.
Since the necklace was a work by the G.o.ddess of the moon, even the sea monsters could not sense Abel’s life force in the submarine.
Since the magic circles were badly damaged, he could no longer see outside from the walls.
Still, Abel was not planning to use his power of will. Instead, he could only rely on his intuition.
Once he sensed a threat, he would take out the Fire tooth.
1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds…. Each second felt like an eternity, but he didn’t feel any danger even after 10 seconds. So the wizards must have successfully lured the sea monsters away.
The attacks of the sea monsters were beyond anything he could imagine. They were far more powerful even compared to legendary wizards.
All he could hope for was that the legendary wizards could rely on their speed and dodge their attacks.
Abel had no business for a fight of this level. He could imagine how he might end up just by looking at the ancient submarine.
