Chapter 298 - Chapter 298: Chapter 285 Luring the Snake out of the Hole (2/2)
Such high self-esteem and a strong character could lead to a breakdown if faced with major setbacks in life, yet it’s also possible to overcome such setbacks and achieve great success.
Darren smiled, for although he hadn’t yet seen the future, he firmly believed Felix would be the latter.
After all, he was his son!
In the distance, the horizon separated the sky and the sea, merging at the edge of one’s sight.
The battle on the island was nearing its end.
It was then Chris appeared in the battle.
He was indifferent and silent, and when slaughtering those at the Transmutation Level, it was as if he was crushing mere ants, effortlessly killing his enemies with every casual move.
The enemies could not even ascertain from where Chris initiated his attacks.
The remaining natives surrendered in terror, only the most devout heretics resisted till the last moment.
After the Cyart people had thoroughly suppressed the island, Chris once again disappeared, and Zayne returned to the church’s ship, lacking interest.
“Not a single priest from the Sea God Cult among these enemies, barely an opponent to take seriously. Where the hell is that bastard, High Priest Sky Blue?”
The influence of the Sea God Cult was always weak, mainly because of their disgusting tactics.
This group, in alliance with the sea tribe, continually raided and harassed Cyart fishermen and sailing vessels, and when the Cyart people sought to eliminate them, those scoundrels would, in advance, cooperate with the sea tribe to hide under the sea.
Although it was fortunate to eliminate an island this time, the sea tribes’ communication under the sea is swift, and the rest of the islands within the territory of the Sea God Cult had surely organized the villagers to be ready to “dive” and hide at any moment.
Even though Zayne himself had reached the lower levels of Monarch strength, he dared not venture alone into the deep sea, for combat with the endless sea tribes would be unpredictable.
Some ancient things hidden in the deep sea always incite fear.
On the flagship of the Fischer family.
Upon announcing that the battle was temporarily over, Byrne nodded calmly, addressing the family:
“It seems our first step in the strategy has been achieved. I believe the Sea God Cult will soon receive the message through the sea tribe, and the Winged Folk should be on the move as well.”
“Next, if our predictions are correct, High Priest Sky Blue will take action.”
—-
On an island deep in the White Sea, within a massive cave, many Sea God followers were prostrate in prayer, while High Priest Sky Blue and many other priests of the Sea God Cult were in a meeting.
High Priest Sky Blue hovered in mid-air, looking much older than before, yet his eyes still held firmness and devotion.
He believed that once the Sea God awoke,
All the current perilous situations could be completely overhauled! The Sea God Cult’s role was to continue avoiding battle and persevere!
Priestess Cyan Blue knelt down reverently and spoke with her head lowered, “They have reached this area of the White Sea, ten days’ voyage away from us.”
The High Priest Sky Blue in mid-air remained silent, frowning and listening.
Priestess Cyan Blue paused briefly before continuing,
“High Priest, the Winged Folk to the east have been stirring recently. They appear to be escorting something significant, likely a three-digit Forbidden rare artifact, purportedly to trade with the Fischer family.”
The tone of Priestess Cyan Blue was calm as she indifferently continued,
“The Winged Folk will pass near us.”
After pondering, High Priest Sky Blue replied,
“Passing near us, I see… Let me intercept them then.”
Suddenly, Sage Dark Blue inside him interrupted,
“What if that group and the Forbidden rare artifact are bait, and there’s an ambush?”
High Priest Sky Blue shook his head calmly and said,
“Impossible, according to sea tribe intelligence, Chris Fischer, Zayne Frosac are far away, and the Cyart navy is distant from us, they cannot reach our rear to attack us.”
He paused before adding,
“Hmph, it’s unlikely they could suddenly cross half of the White Sea and appear before me, right?”
Sage Dark Blue also knew that would be implausible.
“I meant the Winged Folk.”
High Priest Sky Blue said, “The Winged Folk are currently at loggerheads with the glacier people, so they probably can’t spare enough strong fighters. But you make a good point, we should still take precautions. Inform that lady.”
He continued,
“Sage Dark Blue, the Winged Folk do not know that you have also recently broken through to the Monarch Level. If they really send someone to assassinate me, they might not necessarily succeed.”
Priestess Cyan Blue was taken aback, having not expected that Sage Dark Blue had actually achieved the Monarch Level!
That was important information unknown to the Dawn Church!
What to do?
She couldn’t help but worry. If two Monarch-level powerful experts acted together, things might not go smoothly, and if they couldn’t take down the Sea God Cult soon, once the Sea God awakened, all would be lost for her!
For some reason, Sage Dark Blue still felt a vague discomfort that made him uneasy.
But in the end, he agreed with High Priest Sky Blue’s decision. After all, the Cyart people near the Cyart coast and the Winged Folk in jeopardy could not, theoretically, ambush High Priest Sky Blue and himself.
“Go ahead then,”
Sage Dark Blue continued, “Obtaining a three-digit Forbidden rare artifact would increase our odds of victory in the upcoming battle.”
Even feeling the enemy lacked the ability to stage an ambush, Sage Dark Blue still insisted,
“Regardless, we must take some preventive measures in advance; notify that lady.”
High Priest Sky Blue nodded heavily, his eyes blazing with zeal as he spoke loudly, “The White Sea people will not submit; only the Sea God’s children shall reign over the seas!”
