Chapter 326: The Shadowless King of the Black Sea (3)
[The long-standing conflict between the stag beetle tribe and the rhinoceros beetle tribe resulted in numerous casualties. We collected the remains of the fallen and built a ship, which was light and strong enough to sail even on the surface of the Black Sea. It sank after a dispute over ownership....]
'Why exactly did it sink?'
[Well, that's because... one day a group of Insectking ambushed the ship, seized it, and set sail, only to stop after crossing the center of the Black Sea...]
Vikir remembered the conversation he'd had with the Insectking.
Before diving into the depths of the Black Sea, the Insectking had made him a few promises, promises that a lesser challenger would not have believed.
[I met a monster].
'You're a monster, too.'
['It' was more than that. It was a primordial creature that had been dragged here from a very, very long time ago ... and as long as it remained at the bottom of the sea, it would be impossible to cross the Black Sea, even with the best ships].
From the sound of it, it seemed that the Insectking were trapped in the Black Sea, four levels underground, and it wasn't just because of the winds that swirled around the area.
And now Vikir was seeing with his own eyes that it was true.
Tsutsutsutsuts...
