Chapter 271 – Space-Attribute Divine Artifac (2/2)
Reck cleared his throat and said aloud, “According to the latest news, there have been roughly one hundred cracks connecting to the Demon Realm appearing all over the country. Several thousand demonic creatures have slipped in through them. Amongst them, there’s a group of Demon Soldiers whose purpose is to find Sky City and use it as a base to deploy attacks against the Human Realm.”
“Latest news, my arse! Lord Fatty was even nearly killed by those demon brats!” Instead of revealing a horrified expression like Reck had expected, Fatty opened his mouth to curse.
“You ran into them?” asked Reck in shock.
“What do you think?” Fatty rolled his eyes and grabbed Reck’s arm. “You can ask all you want on the road. Hurry and find Master Lucas, and ask him to help me move the Holy Spirit Island to Sky City.”
“No need to be so anxious.” Reck easily pulled out of Fatty’s grasp. “Even if we can get the Holy Spirit Island there, what can you do with it anyway? You can stop the Demon Army when it invades?”
“Then what else can I do?” Fatty asked.
“Are you willing to offer Sky City to the Imperial Dynasty?” Reck said.
“If it were you, would you be willing?” Fatty asked back.
“Heheh, of course not.” Reck grinned evilly.
“You got my answer then.” Fatty rolled his eyes.
“But, if you don’t yield it to the Imperial Dynasty, you simply can’t stop the endless demonic troops that will come for it.” Reck pointed out.
“Okay okay, just cut the crap and get to the point.” Fatty instantly knew that this old fellow had an idea, after seeing him smile and acting all mysterious.
“Cough…” Reck coughed and straightened his posture, trying to look like a highly respected senior.
“It’s very simple. As long as you tightly keep the Holy Spirit Island in your hands, it’d be impossible for them to take control of Sky City even if they find it,” stated Reck.
“Just this one stupid idea?” Fatty’s eyes apparently showed contempt. “If I don’t get the island back to Sky City, how am I supposed to control it?”
“Then there’s another way. Fill up Sky City with manpower and directly confront the Demon Army, but your success rate of defending it is less than 10%.”
“How about you stop with your bulls***?” Fatty glared at Reck.
“Last method, move Sky City to the vicinity of the Imperial Capital. This guarantees the Demon Realm won’t dare to set their eyes on it.” Reck put up the third finger.
“Are you sure the Imperial Capital won’t set their eyes on it?” Fatty only asked.
“Nope.” Reck shook his head.
“F*ck! You have nothing but shitty ideas!” Fatty raged. “Go, go, go, let’s find Master Lucas first.”
……
“Oh, you want me to transport the Holy Spirit Island there? Are you nuts? How do I teleport such a big fellow over?” Lucas’ eye-rolling was even more formidable than Fatty’s; his black pupils couldn’t even be seen anymore.
“Master, don’t you want the Spatial Arrow? It’s a Divine remnant, you know…” said Fatty in an enticing tone.
“Heh, I can teleport the island over if you give me the full set of spatial Divine remnants. If not, stop with your nonsense. I won’t let myself be fooled so easily.” Lucas leaned back on his seat, looking very calm.
“What else is in the Space Divine set?” Fatty asked after thinking for a bit.
“Spatial Spoon, Spatial Tray, Spatial Arrow. These three will make a Divine item if they’re put together. What about it? You know something about that last Spatial Tray?” Lucas said it like he didn’t care, he even leisurely crossed his legs.
“Consider yourself lucky.” Fatty slightly shook his hand, and the Spatial Tray appeared before Lucas.
It was a must for Fatty that Lucas helped him teleport the Holy Spirit Island over. Otherwise, it’d waste months to do nothing but manually steer the island to Sky City. Fatty didn’t forget that he had to spend more than half a month riding the Dark Unicorn to Iron Chain Town alone.
“Spatial Tray?” Lucas hastily stood up and extended his hand.
“Ahem.” Fatty cleared his throat and pocketed the tray.
“I’m only Saint-tier for now, it’s impossible for me to directly teleport such a big thing over. I need to borrow the power of a Divine item.” Lucas pondered briefly before nodding his head. “Let’s go get that Spatial Arrow.”
……
Thanks to these two old fellows, Fatty got to enjoy the VIP treatment of a luxurious straight flight.
A Saint Magus and an Alchemy Grandmaster shook the entire Iron Chain Town with their arrival. Even Luo Kun came out to welcome them. While he was already at the peak of the 8th class enhancement, his status would still be inferior to those two up to the day he advanced to the 9th class enhancement.
“Hmm? There are Demon Soldiers in the vicinity? Fatty, you shouldn’t have done this. It’s only some puny Demon Soldiers. You coulda just informed your bro instead of bothering the two respected masters like this,” Luo Kun scolded Fatty.
“Heheh, we only want to move around after being quiet for too long a time, you guys don’t have to be so tense.” Reck chuckled.
“Peh, keep pretending.” In secret, Luo Kun pulled on Fatty. “Say it, what kind of benefits are there that get these two old fogeys on this trip? Don’t tell me they’re here for sight-seeing.”
“Hah, bro, you’re so smart.” Fatty gave him a thumbs-up, then whispered by his ears, “Space-attribute Divine artifact.”
“So that’s why. Humph! No benefit for me, so your old Luo won’t keep you company.” Luo Kun whistled as he walked away dragging his saber.
“This fellow!” Fatty’s face twitched.
“So Sky City is in there.”
Lucas repeatedly sighed after they reached the barren land with chaotic spatial rifts. The last time he was here, Lucas wasn’t powerful enough and had to stop at this place. He never expected Sky City to be inside the rifts.
“Let’s find those demon brats.” Lucas flew up and inspected everywhere. Then, he singled out a direction and pulled Fatty and Reck in that way.
“Captain, we can’t control Sky City without the Holy Spirit Island. It’s useless to capture it.”
The Demon Soldiers were in the middle of a discussion.
“No need to be anxious.” Puda was unruffled. “Sky City is the head of the seven main cities. Even if we can’t take it, we can’t let the humans have it either.
“Then, what do we do?”
“Humph!” Puda stood up and the Spatial Arrow appeared in his hand. ”Before we set out, Demon General granted me this Divine remnant just in case we need to destroy Sky City. As long as we ruin this space, Sky City won’t be able to get out, permanently. So, it’s fine even if we can’t claim it.”
“Captain is right. Now that our trace has been revealed, the humans will definitely send people to kill us. This shouldn’t be delayed any longer, let’s go.”
“You lot aren’t going anywhere,” a voice suddenly echoed and frightened the demon. Puda even had the Spatial Arrow hover and ready above him as his eyes stared fixedly at the three guests.
“Kill!” Without nonsense, Puda took the lead to attack.
The Spatial Arrow intensely vibrated and buzzed. Space was torn and countless spatial shards shot in all directions. Where they passed, mountains collapsed and trees snapped. The sparse monsters in the area all fled in panic.
“Spatial Arrow, it’s indeed the Spatial Arrow.” Lucas was thrilled. If he acquired this Spatial Arrow, he would have a real Divine artifact to himself.
“Imprison.” Lucas held the Spatial Tray that Fatty gave him. In a matter of seconds, with Lucas as the epicenter, the space began to grow heavy, those who were trapped in there felt as if they were traveling in viscous liquid and every movement required great effort.
The imprisonment range of the Spatial Tray was much wider than the attack range of the Spatial Arrow. Under the tray’s confinement, the arrow stagnated in the air unable to move, its tip no longer shot out spatial force. It now looked like any other ordinary arrow.
“Run!” Puda paled in fright as his attack failed. Knowing that the opponent was an expert, he immediately ordered his underlings to scatter and run.
However, as the area had been completely imprisoned by Lucas, what was called ‘fleeing’ for Puda’s group was slowly walking step by step, which was actually not much faster than a snail crawling.
Lucas shook the Spatial Tray very slightly. The second skill, Space Garrote, was unleashed. Instantly, all Demon Soldiers including Puda were sliced into meat paste.
“Alright.” Lucas put the tray away. The Spatial Arrow buzzed, wanting to break the space and fly off.
“Get down.” Lucas waved. The arrow trembled before slowly diminishing and landed on his hand.
