Chapter 674 - 109. Friends from the Ocean_2
"At worst, we’ll fight them. Even if we die, we won’t go back to that damn place! We could still preserve some strength to report to the humans..."
Xi Ya’s face, with its six spider compound eyes, displayed a clear look of disgust. She slightly crossed her twin blades in front of her chest, poised and ready to strike,
"You think too highly of yourselves, thinking you can escape with so many people here?"
"Be careful, Xi Ya, he has taken the High Ring Magic engraved by Lord Raphael. Stay away from him!"
Just as Kree, in the sky, began to alert Xi Ya, Harir’s expression suddenly turned ferocious. He took out a sheepskin scroll from his chest, which glimmered with magical light, and aimed it directly at the wilderness ahead,
"Run, abandon the horses and jump into the sea!"
After Harir shouted this, the magic scroll in his hand burst forth with brilliant light. The unseen World Resonance was triggered, erupting from the void like a dragon’s roar of flames. Moreover, as the fire spread and burned, a series of consequent reverberations were triggered, sparking severe explosions, proof of the engraver’s superior magical understanding.
But this tormented the Dragon Court Alliance Army, who were in pursuit of these rebels. The ocean heated up slowly during the day, and the fierce winds from the ocean blew towards the sun-warmed land, carrying the intense flames and explosions toward the distant pursuers. Although the soldiers stopped in time at a distance and were not harmed by the fierce Dragon-man Magic, Fama Xi and Xi Ya, who were nearby, suffered.
"Damn! This bastard, cough, cough!"
Kree, a phantom Brain Demon Species in the sky, had not expected the flames to spread so quickly. She watched Harir leading a group of Dragon-man Species rapidly toward the coast, but she couldn’t pursue them because her two partners were trapped in the fiery sea of magic.
"Bang!"
As Kree anxiously watched her partners engulfed by flames below, glistening droplets of water continuously fell from below the sky, hitting the faces of Xi Ya and Fama Xi.
Is it raining?
Just when Kree’s eyes brightened and she was about to exclaim, "Heaven helps us too," she looked up only to see the clear blue sky above, devoid of any clouds that could produce rain.
"Is this... sea water?"
Kree subconsciously licked the "raindrops" on her cheek with her tongue and suddenly tasted the salt in the droplets. But why would sea water suddenly fall from the sky?
She turned her head towards the coast and saw above the ocean a wave-like colossal stream of water, rising slowly to cover the sky above that vast wilderness. The next second, like a torrential downpour, water crashed down, drenching everyone below. However, Xi Ya and Fama Xi, blinded by the sea water, felt no trace of anger; instead, they raised their weapons and shouted,
"The fire is out! Kree, the fire is out!"
In mid-air, Kree hadn’t grasped what had happened when she wondered if the Dragon Court had sent reinforcements. Then, something even more bizarre occurred.
As Harir and his group were about to jump into the sea to escape the Dragon Court’s pursuit, those in the front had barely leaped off the cliff when suddenly, they were thrown back up, dripping wet. Harir, who was about to jump, was stunned.
He turned his head to look back at the extinguished magic and then at his companion who had somehow been tossed back onto the shore, his eyes wide as he screamed,
"What’s going on? Why did you come back up?"
"There’s...something in the sea. We just jumped in and were thrown back up, I also..."
"Who is it? Which bastard dares do this to us?!"
Amidst Harir’s hysterical roar, a lithe figure suddenly sprang lightly from beneath the cliff. Under the sunlight, the dazzling figure, wet from seawater, radiated shimmering golden light. As both parties stared in astonishment, a strange demi-human with blue hair, a beautiful appearance, and an odd, large tail stood before Harir.
The demi-human was clad in fitted golden armor, holding a gold sword in one hand, her expression laced with worry as she faced the Dragon-man Species she also seemed unfamiliar with,
"You, are you all right? I just saw you jumping off the cliff because of the fire on shore. Don’t worry, I already extinguished the fire for you. You don’t need to jump to escape anymore..."
Her voice was sweet and pure, simply hearing it was refreshing. Her concern seemed genuine, and the odd language she spoke was translated into the Dragon Court Language under the influence of the newly arrived Brain Demon Species Kree.
Indeed, this was the Whale-man Species, Moli, who several days earlier had negotiated terms with her mother, Xuan Can, and left the Sea Trench to come ashore. She had just wanted to land when she saw the fire on the shore, and thinking someone had to jump off the cliff to escape the blaze, good-natured Moli didn’t think twice; she immediately stirred up the seawater to extinguish the fire for them...
