Chapter 139: Chapter 133: The Sky is Falling!
The Thunderous Monarch was a low-level Monarch and a top Extraordinary Exponent, possessing the mighty power to slaughter islands from afar, offering great advantages in war.
He was the one supporting the skies of the East Coast!
Yet, now more and more people knew in their hearts that the skies of the East Coast were about to collapse!
Three against one!
The three Monarch powerful experts of the opposition, clearly backed by the masses of the Sea God Cult, left the Thunderous Monarch with no chance of victory, so isolated in deep territory that even escaping alive seemed tremendously difficult.
In the dark night sky, a rout that would surely end in the Thunderous Monarch’s death was already taking shape.
How many years had it been?
How many years had it been since bishops from the great churches had last fallen in battle?
The Monarch powerful experts of the Eastern Four Kingdoms were few in number; the Cyart nobles and Tempest Priests on the battlefield simply couldn’t understand which factions had suddenly intervened.
On the lightless dark sea surface, the sailing ship carrying the Fischer family completed its turn, following the numerous ships of the Lion clan, swiftly distancing itself from the battlefield that was about to witness a catastrophic disaster.
“Full speed ahead! Leave the battlefield!”
Theo widened his eyes, and shouted excitedly, knowing that it was somewhat late to run.
The next moment, more and more ships in the fleet were turning around, all the clans began to flee desperately!
A malignant chain reaction quickly formed, and the entire still intact army collapsed in an instant, leaving only a few church ships waiting for orders, while the rest attempted to flee the battlefield in a mad rush.
Byrne suddenly perceived that the purple-red stone in his bosom was trembling slightly, as if resonating with something.
“What’s going on?”
He suddenly realized that the other side of the sensation was actually the battlefield of the Monarch powerful experts!
“Could it be?”
A storm of shock and incredulity raged in Byrne’s heart—could it be that someone was using the purple-red stone there?
He abruptly remembered the transaction at the Alchemy Council; it appeared that apart from himself and ‘Solar Gold’, everyone’s purple-red stones had been traded away for “Spirit Essence”.
Could one of the top experts among the Thunderous Monarch or the forces surrounding him actually be the lady from the Alchemy Council, ‘Spirit Essence’ herself?
Her reason for trading and collecting the stones at the Alchemy Council was to deal with the Thunderous Monarch!
Byrne couldn’t help but feel confused. Wasn’t it said that the greatest power of the purple-red stone was only on the level of top treasures and oddities? Could its gathering pose a great threat to a Monarch powerful expert?
“Fuck you all! You’re all bastards! Cowards! A bunch of ball-less idiots!”
Curses continued to come from the special spell inscription while the Assistant Priest Zayne, almost mad with fury, spared no one as he hurled insults at those who were deserting in the heat of battle.
Nevertheless, no one paid attention.
Those who were obsequious, those who were ‘brave’, those who were ‘loyal’, all suddenly stopped paying any heed to Zayne, the powerful figure of authority.
Suddenly, a tremendous force started to churn the sea surface, swiftly spreading, as several massive Spawn of the Abyss took the form of a tsunami that came along with the dark night, raising enormous waves as if the powers of darkness had awakened, shrouding the entire sea area within!
They flanked the Cyart fleet trying to scatter and flee from both sides.
“Woo!”
On the dark wave crests, the moonlight shone tremblingly, and the tsunami roared like an angry dragon, unleashing an unprecedented calamity within the dark abyss.
The Spawn of the Abyss rose tens of meters, obscuring the moonlight before descending in an instant, overturning entire ships, their numerous ferocious eyes splitting open into sharp-toothed mouths that crunched and devoured the Cyart people howling as they fell into the abyss.
One after another, warships were overturned by the tsunami, and along with the crisis from within the bodies of the Spawn of the Abyss, there came countless members of the sea tribe!
As part of the foreign race that lived in the sea, the sea tribesmen mostly had the bodies of fish and limbs like humans, wielding sharp weapons to tear and pierce flesh and even gaping their maws to brutally consume Cyart people who fell into the sea.
Massive amounts of bright red blood flowed across the sea surface, spreading with the waves unsettlingly, infusing the waters red, the entire world shrouded in a bizarre scene.
Zayne, with his deep blue hair, gaunt face, and a complexion so pale it seemed void of blood, stood cold-faced atop the sea surface, unable to swear any longer.
He stared at the collapsing battlefield, fear and absurdity rising deep within, the Sea God Cult’s hidden power was far greater than imagined!
“No matter how decayed the Tempest Church has become, no matter how degenerate those swine are, there’s no way they would have failed to detect anything at all, unless someone from within deliberately… concealed it.”
For years, like the other major churches, internal strife within the Tempest Church grew more and more fierce, yet he never thought that someone would actually collude with an external enemy.
It appeared that there would always be those who abandoned all morals first.
They didn’t care about the defeat in this war, nor would they mind if millions of people on the East Coast died in the coming years after the Sea God Cult’s counterattack ashore!
Zayne looked up to the horizon, gazing at the superior he had followed for over a decade.
Despite being constantly drunk due to the “price” he paid, he would help the fishermen drive away toxic fish tides and would rage and roar over the deaths of the East Coast people, always rushing to the front lines since the war began.
And because of behind-the-scenes dealings by multiple powers, a joint decision, that powerful Monarch king, who reserved his thunder and rage only for the enemy and was considered an ‘eccentric’ within the church, with few friends…
He was about to die here!
