Chapter 299: Chapter 286: Divine Weapon Descends from Heaven

The overcast sky loomed, stripping the White Sea of its usual clarity and vitality.

Thick clouds hung low, as if enveloping the ocean and blurring the view with a sinister haze; the ripples on the sea’s surface no longer shimmered with sunlight but appeared dull and silent instead.

Deep in the ocean, it seemed to harbor endless profound secrets.

“Hoo.”

White wings cut through the air,

as over a dozen silhouettes whooshed past overhead.

A squad of Winged Folk, with wings on their backs, flew in formation at a steady pace through the somber maritime skies.

The Winged Folk were actually a kind of half-orc, naturally lighter than humans and capable of flight.

Although on land, the Winged Folk’s combat abilities were inferior to humans, their mastery of flight gave them a distinct advantage in actual combat.

They were almost entrenched in each of the Nine Seas, having always been one of the two dominators of the Nine Seas, while the other was the glacier inhabitants encircling the glaciers.

Circling around, the vast glacier area that separated the Claud World was, in fact, no smaller than the Ouden Continent, and the numerous glacier inhabitants were, essentially, also divided into many fine subdivisions, forming many city-states; however, to outsiders, all glacier inhabitants looked the same.

They had very special eyes with violet pupils covered with a layer that always seemed to be frosted over, which was their most distinctive feature.

The leader of the Winged Folk suddenly let out a call in midair.

He conveyed his commands through his cries.

Get through here quickly, and don’t let the Sea God Cult’s people discover us!

The squad of Winged Folk flew through the air, their white feathers still highly conspicuous against the gloomy sky. The leading Winged Folk carried a special black box in his hands, containing important triple-digit Forbidden rare artifacts.

Forbidden rare artifact No. 992, “Song of Sunrise.”

Its form was a spherical light resembling a musical note that would continue to emit sound unless contained.

The people around would hear a woman’s singing, but depending on their age, the voice they heard would differ, harmonizing with the age of the listener.

To use it, one must strike the note to produce a sound symbolizing the dawn, and at the same time, everyone nearby would be cured of negative statuses, friend and foe alike.

The Extraordinary Exponent who used the “Song of Sunrise” would also pay a corresponding price, losing their hearing for an entire year each time it was used.

However, this price was not permanent, and in fact, it was considered quite cost-effective among Forbidden rare artifacts.

Just then, the Winged Folk were shocked to see a vast expanse of seawater suddenly appear in the distant sky.

It was doubtlessly an extraordinary sight.

The sea seemed to weave together with the sky, becoming boundless and creating a visual illusion that it was like a lake in motion, charging through the heavens!

The group of over a dozen Winged Folk immediately panicked. They communicated rapidly with one another through cries and began to scatter in all directions.

“Hmph.”

The High Priest Sky Blue stood atop that patch of water, commanding it fiercely as he flew over, subsequently releasing a surge of invisible mist from the water that rapidly spread towards the fleeing Winged Folk.

His power of Bloodline was the “Crimson Poison Spirit,” a red, jellyfish-like, soft-bodied high-level magic beast that lived deep in the sea and was naturally very toxic.

The High Priest Sky Blue’s domain allowed him to express the characteristics of his power of Bloodline through toxins; he could manipulate the seawater, turn it into mist, and then infuse the mist with deadly poison.

The spreading poison fog was colorless and invisible, hard to avoid, and any ordinary Extraordinary Exponent who came into contact with it would instantly experience agonizing neural pain and die miserably.

Besides, he possessed an extremely strong regenerative ability—his life force was stronger than that of an ordinary low-level Monarch Extraordinary Exponent.

“Ah!”

The Winged Folk, touched by the mist, instantly writhed in agony and fell from the sky with despairing wails.

The High Priest Sky Blue, standing on the floating water, flew down and quickly snatched the descending black box, without hesitation, and swiftly took it away.

As he was about to return, he quickly noticed something strange.

Priestess Cyan Blue was nearby.

“Eh?”

To come and go as he pleased, High Priest Sky Blue had not brought the other priests with him, and he had not expected Cyan Blue to be there.
