Chapter 709 - Outbreak in Fairy World
Brute Cavern, Tree Spirit Palace.
Rein Mute, a gentleman who was perfectly suited up, had come to meet with Tree Spirit, an ancient soul who never knew what “proper clothing” was.
They spent a moment in complete silence in the room before Tree Spirit finally moved by showing a small, glowing tree leaf.
“You have a message?” asked Rein.
“Yup. It’s Filo, who’s staying at the Edge of Night,” Tree Spirit said as he carefully read the strange symbols displayed on the leaf.
“Is it bad?”
“Very.” Tree Spirit put the leaf away with a grim look. “Within one month, apart from the first dark dome at Sleepless City, which was constantly growing, three other new ones have been spotted around the Evernight Kingdom.”
Three? Rein scowled.
…
As Shadow drew the hidden dragonflies in Pocratee into the Fairy World, Angor was experiencing another catastrophe at Devil’s Water, unaware of what had happened to his “old friend”.
A 30-meter-tall tidal wave was currently chasing after The Limpet.
While trembling under the horror, all sailors were desperately controlling the ship to stay on its course, using a rope around their waist as the only protection.
Occasionally, there were sailors who were tossed into the sky as their ropes broke, who were then saved by Angor’s Hand of Spell.
The Limpet was going for the safest route they could see while trying to outrun the tide behind. But the looming torrent was slowly catching up.
Angor was no longer sure how the vessel would escape from the disaster. He glanced at the command room and saw both Erwin and Helen issuing commands to the sailors loud and clear, even if they could barely stand upright.
Erwin suddenly ordered his men to slow down.
As Angor wondered why the captain would do something to send the ship into the deadly tsunami, the other sailors followed the order without a second thought.
The wall-like wave finally lost its advancing momentum and slammed into the water, which was just behind The Limpet. The terrible force of it had sent the ship flying into the air.
“Now!” Erwin gave a signal using his hand.
Angor widened his eyes as the ship released a powerful air stream from its rear and dashed into the distance like a deflating balloon sent free, away from the biggest danger.
He couldn’t help but admire the mental fortitude shown by these professional sailors. Even some wizards wouldn’t remain so calm when facing a life-threatening natural disaster.
An hour later, the ship finally enjoyed calm waters and fair sky again.
When Angor prepared to return to his room and continue his study, he saw Helen gazing in a direction with an anxious look.
