Chapter 238 - The road to civilization (4) (1/2)
”Just a rather big fish!?”
Jasmine looked in horror at the sea monster that looked like a cross between an octopus and a whale that currently was getting slaughtered by giant sword lights that flew down from the sky and cut into the sea monster, Jasmine was not alone in her shock as the group of hunters and virtually all the ship's crew also stood and watched the showdown with their jaws on the floor, Allen asked Damon that stood next to him
”H-hey Damon, didn't that dragon call Mars a 'living god'”
”Y-yeah it did... Now I kind of believe it...”
While the two of them exchanged words, the sea was gradually dyed in red from the blood of the sea monster that let out an agonizing roar as it seemed to breathe it's last breath and collapsed before it began sinking, soon a figure could be seen rapidly descending down before it hit the sea right where the sea monster had sunk. A few minutes later the figure shot up from the sea and flew over and landed on the ship, 78 walked over to the figure and handed him a towel before she spoke
”Welcome back Mars”
”Thanks 78”
Mars took the towel and began drying his hair as he looked around at the people around him and asked
”What?”
Allen snapped out of his daze before he swallowed his saliva and asked
”Mars what's a living god, no what exactly are you?”
Mars dried his hair as he answered Allen's question
”A living god is exactly what it sounds like”
”... I see”
”I would appreciate if you don't spread out what you saw today as it might annoy my siblings”
”Your siblings?”
Mars gave a smile as he took off the hides that covered his upper body and laid them on the railing to dry
”The other living gods”
Allen and the other hunters gave a nod, so did the rest of the crew that was on the deck, no way in hell were they going to be annoying such a frightening living god. 78 looked at the necklaces Mars wore and asked:
”Hey Mars what are those?”
”Oh this is my merc tag and this is my necklace of the apostle”
78's eyes glinted as she looked at the golden merc tag and the necklace of the apostle before she asked
”Mars can you make me a pretty necklace too?”
”Sure, I'll make you one soon”
”Yay!”
Mars looked at the happy 78 for a while before he opened his palm and looked at the magic beast core he had gotten from the sea monster
class 9 magic beast core
stored energy: 1.200
stored status points: 20
source: ???
'As usual there's the ??? on the source... Maybe I should ask Info about this...'
Mars had thought of asking Info about the weirdness of his skill, but since there were no temples on the unnamed continent it was a little hard to meet her
”Oh well, hopefully there's a temple on Heden”
”Of course there is, there's even one in the port city we arrive in”
”Okay... Thanks for the info Allen”
”No problem Mars”
Mars wiped his upper body with the towel when Jasmine walked over, she was blushing slightly when she looked at Mars and his n.a.k.e.d upper body still slightly wet from his trip under the waves, Mars saw her staring but ignored it, she was after all, a girl in the middle of her puberty
”What's up?”
”Umm... how exactly can you fly?”
”It's a skill, like the sword lights I can from with the help of a blade”
”I see... Here I thought you were an angel or something...”
'Nope but I know an archangel...'
Mars kept his thoughts to himself and spoke
