Chapter 154: Geyser (2/2)

This sort of opportunity, it came once in a lifetime. Most of the water ability beasts could only be found in the ocean, but who dared to venture into it? The waters were simply too dangerous and who knew what beasts evolved down there out of their control?

In addition, just being an aquatic beast didn't guarantee a water ability either, and even if it did, it was unlikely to be as good as the one in Leonel's hands right now.

Even with all this being said, there was another, maybe even more important, reason they had to do this. This place was one where they would be the strongest. And, they could tell that Leonel wasn't comfortable with battling inside of water. If they tried to take this battle elsewhere, their strength would be greatly diminished.

There was no better place for them to battle than by all of this water.

KKKKKKKRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Just when everyone was preparing for battle, the sound of a raging beast came from the distance.

Leonel's pupils shrunk. 'It's not just one beast.'

BANG!

An explosion caused many of the youths present to feel their ears rupture and begin to bleed. At first, it was impossible to tell exactly where this explosion had come from and what had caused it. It was simply too loud. But, a moment later, a raging pillar of billowing white steam shot into the air in the distance.

The pillar was so thick and vibrant that it could be seen from over ten kilometers away with a clearness that made it feel as though it was right before them all.

'Force?'

Leonel's eyes widened. That pillar, he could feel it. It was a flood of Force with a level of density he couldn't fathom.

'Is that the Force Crystal mine Old Hutch was talking about? Is it supposed to explode like that?'

Worry began to bubble up in Leonel's heart. Before, he was freely using his Force because he was certain that there weren't any Invalids on this island. With his density of Force, the Invalids that could threaten him were too far away. Plus, they would all be creatures of another species, so they wouldn't bother with him either.

But, this density of Force was on another level. In addition, if it really came from the Force Crystal mine, that meant it didn't come from any one species and might very well attract creatures of all kind.

If this island was suddenly surrounded by an infestation of aquatic Invalids, what could they do? How the hell would they get out of this place?

Leonel's blood ran cold.
