Chapter 1162: Sandy Shore (1/2)
Simultaneously, as if understanding Davis's thoughts, Nadia gave up on the flying boat and covered them and herself in her dark elemental energy as they made their way to the island while flying under the barrage of lightning.
*Bzzzz!~*
*Boom!~~~*
The moment they all came out, the Peak-Level King Grade Flying Boat was blasted out of existence by the seemingly enraged lightning bolts after the barrier had disappeared.
The sections of the flying boat fell into the sea without any inconsistencies. There seemed to be no magical sea-beasts on the surface of the vast sea, but only carcasses that seemed to have failed to escape deep into the sea. The carcasses all looked charred, wafting off a burned scent than a fragrant one.
Davis held Sophie Alstreim closer while Nadia held both of them and flew towards the island, all of them being covered by a dark barrier. It appeared to be two-layered protection. Davis covered both himself and Sophie with his martial energy, while Nadia covered all of them, including herself, with a deep black hue of dark energy.
*Bzzzz!~*
*Bzzzz!~*
*Bzzzz!~*
The rampaging lightning bolts that fell on them weren't even able to penetrate the outer layer as Nadia transported Davis while they made their way to the island at the visible distance!
Davis and Sophie Alstreim's vision was cut off the moment Nadia's dark energy surrounded them. He relaxed, knowing that Nadia could safely take them away to the nearby island, but he still held Sophie Alstreim's wrist. Otherwise, she would fall.
”Endure for a while, Sophie.”
”... Yes...” Sophie Alstreim's voice sounded rather monotonous.
He relaxed, but it wasn't the same for her.
Back in the flying boat, the sense of danger had crept up to her, but the moment her wrist was grabbed by Alchemist Davis and dragged into the sea of lightning by him, she thought it was all over, but never did she think she was safely floating above the sea, nor did she think that they were making their way towards a nearby island.
Outside, the last thing that entered her ear was the enormous rumbling and blasts of thunder and lightning. Her mind was wavering, knowing that she might die at any moment when she abruptly took the chance!
”Just a little more... ”
Davis had just turned to look at Sophie Alstreim when he felt a soft peck on his lips!
”!!!”
The sound of lips smacking echoed before Sophie Alstreim moved her head back; a contentful expression appeared on her face, additionally plastered with a peaceful smile.
With this, even if she was thrown away as a burden, she felt that she could die a satisfying death. At this moment, it was as if these were undoubtedly her thoughts.
She closed her eyes, anticipating whatever may await her. Her hand was let go off, and she knew she was abandoned. The feeling of falling encroached her mind before it suddenly disappeared.
'Mhm? I already died? Heh... The lightning bolt that struck me should be so powerful that I wasn't even able to feel it...'
However, her feet felt something, making her think about why she was still conscious. It was as if she was standing on solid ground, being able to think clearly.
Was death supposed to be like this?
The sound of lightning and thunder could still be heard, making her confused. Perhaps, her soul became one with the lightning, hearing these all before the verge of dissipating?
Her brows quivered before she slowly opened her eyes, her pupils abruptly dilating into two thin needles.
The dark energy around them receded, making her aware that she was now standing on a sandy beach. In front of her was Davis, looking at her with wide eyes.
However, she absentmindedly looked towards the left as if avoiding his gaze.
In the distance, the sea of lightning constantly blasted the sea's surface, even making it boil, releasing steam in the process. The lightning sea cast a huge shadow over the sea, innumerable carcasses floating over it.
When she looked towards the right, they were sealed off by a black mountain range.
She swiveled her head above and saw that the dark clouds rumbled, stirring the sound of thunder and lightning!
Her expression changed, and her body went stiff, feeling herself become warmer by the second. A deep blush emerged on her face, her cheeks, her ears, and her neck, causing her to instantly turn around with her eyes closed. Her body began to tremble with confusion, excitement, anxiety, trepidation, dread, and shock!
Not only was she still alive, but she was safe without harm! This situation was completely unbelievable to her! They had successfully made it out!
Nadia's speed was extremely fast that she practically appeared ten seconds later on the island after jumping from the flying boat while carrying them. It was as if they were traveling in a flying boat, not feeling the resistance.
