Chapter 277: The Jewel Sea
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Venturing into the unknown seas, even for a sorcerer, it was imperative to have a set of coordinates to be able to navigate through the seas accurately. But if it were the Eastern Coral Island, Grimm could navigate by his soul’s instinct alone to get to where he wanted to go.
Seven days later, Grimm and Nina flew over the Jewel Sea at full speed.
Common men would never dare to venture deep into the ocean. Only a heavy ocean liner passed through the seas occasionally.
Most of the time, when the people aboard these ships saw some natural phenomena that were beyond their imaginations, they would tell of their own versions of tales that were usually blown out of proportion. The stories would spread, thus becoming legendary tales of the seas.
These tales were the thin veils of how common men viewed truths.
Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz…
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
‘Huh?’
Suddenly, Grimm furrowed his brows as he watched over the horizon. His speed remained the same. Behind him, Nina exclaimed in astonishment, “A school of Goldenwings! There’s so many of them!”
The Goldenwing fish was a strange creature from the deep ocean. They would emerge and leap from the surface when they feel threatened. They would glide across the skies for a period of time until they feel safe enough to return back to the ocean.
As they glided in the sky to avoid danger, their fins would turn into the shape of a wing and fly at high speed, thus the name Goldenwings.
Other than that, there were also long horns on their heads that were extremely sharp.
When the Goldenwings glide in a school, even a container ship in their path would be punctured into little holes, causing them to sink tragically into the ocean.
It could be said that the fear of sailors when they spot a school of Goldenwings was equal to seeing a super dust storm in the deserts.
The distant sky was covered in a patch of darkness. The number of Goldenwings was innumerable. Grimm furrowed his brow and coldly said, “Pay them no heed.”
“Are you sure?” Nina asked surprisingly.
It was a huge school of Goldenwings. If they were to collide with them head on, even a sorcerer would…
“Caw! Caw! Rest assured, Nina! Master would protect you well. I remembered when the sky used to be covered with Amonros, when my master and I rescued the already hopeless Millie. Caw caw caw! Tis’ but a piece of cake.”
The myna strutted its tail smugly as it perched on top of Grimm’s shoulder.
As they were talking, the school of Goldenwings got closer to them. Their flapping fins were creating buzzing sounds and whooshed as they glided across the sky. It was chaotic.
Toward the distance, a tsunami that was hundreds of meters in height was approaching. The tsunami consisted of millions of Goldenwings that looked like it was about to swallow Grimm, Myna, and Nina in its path.
As a Dark Sorceress who could already stand on her own, Nina naturally wouldn’t place her fate into the hands of others. She had already started to channel some magical energy secretly, ready to protect herself.
It was already too late to run away.
Grimm quietly shook his head as she saw Nina behaving this way.
After all, she was no longer the innocent girl that would only cower behind Chris while addressing him as “Big Brother Grimm”.
Could it be that she thought he was having doubts about these trivial Goldenwing fishes that were on the run?
He channeled some magical energy and called out, “Negate!”
Poof! As Grimm’s sorcerer robes fluttered, a huge negating force caused the school of Goldenwing fish to glide along a sphere that was surrounding Grimm’s body, perfectly forming a negating force field.
This way, he would be able to save more energy rather than taking the impact of the school of Goldenwings head on.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
The arrow-like fishes were negated by Grimm’s spherical force field.
He merely moved his body slightly as he led Nina through the first wave of Goldenwings without reducing speed. There were still many Goldenwings around, but it was easy to deal with them and that they were of no threat.
But what about the sorcerer’s barriers?
The barriers could not stop any creature from the Sorcerer World from passing through them. They could only be manifested by the Principle Will to prevent the invasive foreign creatures. But due to the void fortresses, the ability could be manifested in foreign worlds, becoming one of the Sorcerer World’s huge milestones.
“Phew, finally…”
Boom!
As the frail-looking Nina was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a thunderous explosion occurred on the sea surface.
Nina stopped in her words. Her two murky round eyes caught hold of a humongous creature that covered the sun.
In a blink of an eye, the ray from the sun was completely covered, casting a shadow over the two people and a bird.
“This, this is… the Overlord Eubalaena!” Nina York cried out in astonishment.
Overlord Eubalaena. Even the weakest baby Overlord Eubalaena in the ocean was a Level 1 creature.
The toughest adult Overlord Eubalaena had, according to the records, exceeded the limits of a Level 4 World Lord. They were the strongest group of creatures in the oceans of the Sorcerer World, the precious pets of the deep seas.
When they ventured into the heart of the world, within the black sea vortex, the Oceanic race rode on mounts that belonged to a World Lord Overlord Eubalaena.
The Overlord Eubalaena that leaped from the surface of the ocean were thousands of meters in length. Obviously it was no baby.
Slowly, the giant mouth of the Overlord Eubalaena opened up as it dove down from the sky.
It almost seemed like it was about to swallow up Grimm, Nina, and the school of Goldenwings together.
In the eyes of such an enormous creature, there was no distinction between Grimm, Nina, and the school of Goldenwings. The figures of the two people were barely visible.
“Grimm, run! This is a Level 3 Overlord Eubalaena, there’s no way we could…”
