Chapter 292: An Unthinkable Tribute
Pa pa pa pa pa…
A series of explosions burst across Ayrin’s body as countless hail like clusters of dense white spit slammed into him.
Ayrin abruptly froze in place as the spit balls buffeted him and then flowed down his body.
As for the Nether Ice Flying Fish, they continued to splash in and out of the water around him.
“Like I said, only a madman would pass through here.”
Seeing the scene unfold before him, Stingham subconsciously rubbed his chin as he asked with sympathy, “Are you alright? It must hurt a lot.”
“Not really.” Ayrin scratched his head as he joyfully smiled, “It’s actually very comfortable.”
“Aren’t you acting a little too perverted?” Stingham exclaimed as he felt the urge to slam his face into the ground.
“Heh, come at me you little buggers!” Ayrin shouted as he provokingly waved his fist towards the Nether Ice Flying Fish dancing around him.
The flying fish were indeed quite weak. After using Dragon Scale Absorption, the spit balls felt like countless small hands giving Ayrin a massage as they hit his body.
Furthermore, the number of arcane particles he absorbed was greater than the amount he consumed by maintaining Dragon Scale Absorption.
The attacks of the Nether Ice Flying Fish were giving a massage and also helping him restore arcane particles!
Whoosh…
Ayrin’s provocation seemed to have aroused the anger of the Nether Ice Flying Fish around him as even more of them shot out from within the water and shot their spit at him.
“So comfortable!”
“Keep it up! Don’t stop!”
Ayrin let out shouts of excitement as he continued to step forward.
“So perverse…”
Stingham and Rinloran exchanged looks.
It seemed like the Nether Ice Flying Fish had forgotten about them as they directed all their attacks towards Ayrin.
Their barrage was so fierce that many of the Nether Ice Flying Fish quickly became exhausted. Numerous spit balls began to fall into the water short of Ayrin as fish began to float belly atop the milky shallow water.
But more Nether Ice Flying Fish continued to emerge.
It looked like a giant white cloud was following after Ayrin within the Nether Ice Sea.
Even some of the ones which floated belly up continued to relentlessly chase after Ayrin after recovering some strength.
But a few more barrages later, the Nether Ice Flying Fish finally all ran out of steam as they floated belly up and released tiny bubbles from their mouths.
Rinloran, Stingham, Lotton, and the Dark Queen Mermaid carefully waded through the midst of the overturned flying fish. A single careless step and they would step on several of the exhausted flying fish.
“There’s quite a lot of them, isn’t there?”
“Have these Nether Ice Flying Fish accepted their defeat?”
The group walked forward. All they could see in the water before them was a shocking number of exhausted Nether Ice Flying Fish. As for the few which were still swimming around and jumping out of the water, they were no longer angrily attacking Ayrin. Instead, they were orderly swimming besides Ayrin as if they had given up and accepted his presence.
“Do you know his bloodline? Is that why you were so confident in him being able to cross the Nether Ice Sea?” Rinloran asked Lotton as he observed the scene before him in astonishment. The number of Nether Ice Flying Fish before him was enough to wear out and kill even five gate arcane masters, yet Ayrin was still completely fine and had exhausted the fish instead!
“It is why I am still alive right now,” Lotton responded as he lowered his head.
“Still alive?” Rinloran pondered deeply.
After a while, Rinloran felt as if he could partially understand Lotton’s response. As a puppet of the bishops, he hadn’t ever been able to live.
But upon realizing Ayrin’s bloodline, Lotton had gained the courage and conviction to fight against the bishops and try to break free of their control. This thirst for freedom, for control over his own destiny, led to his transformation into a Vengeful Spirit.
“Ayrin, this fellow…” At this moment, a thought abruptly passed through Rinloran’s mind. His breath caught in his chest as his pupils contracted.
But then, Stingham cried out, “What is that?”
“Eh?”
Rinloran lifted his head and looked, only to freeze in shock.
They watched as a wave of transparent wave of water emerged before Ayrin in the distance.
It looked like countless Nether Ice Flying Fish swimming neatly together in a line.
“This?”
Ayrin scratched his head in astonishment as he watched several slightly larger Nether Ice Flying Fish used their heads to push a chicken egg-sized yellow sphere before his feet.
Afterwards, all the Nether Ice Flying Fish slowly withdrew in a seemingly respectful manner, including the ones which were completely exhausted. Before long, the Nether Ice Flying Fish disappeared from their sight.
