171 Fighting Sea Creatures (1/2)
The cliff height didn't pose any problems for Xiao that flew through the sky and directly took a few people with him towards the village leaving Riddick and Rahz on the top.
”Can you make it down alright?”
”Hmm… I don't think getting down would be a problem but I am not so sure about going to the sea anymore”.
Riddick grabbed his polearm, turned away from the cliff and started looking for a place about a couple of feet from the edge and activatedImmolation Aura that evaporated the ice and with his weight created a water slide all the way down.
Genius!
Rahz followed behind with his own immolation and just before he reached the bottom he jumped of the cliff and landed at the bottom while Riddick had to used everything he had to nail his polearm into the slide to slow down his descend.
WOOOHOOO!
”That was fun” Said Riddick while the Elder trembled in fear, really powerful people played by their own rules.
Everything would have been a lot easier if a mage was with them to cast Feather Fall on Riddick so he could float down but since they lost Liz during the war, they started feeling the empty void she left.The team continued to the village and rested for the night while observing the conditions in which the villagers were living and their meal said it all, despite the fact that they had been given the bigger portions it was barely possible to call it dinner.
The Sea tribe were pescetarian by nature and didn't eat meat, they could complement with some algae or sea vegetation but even that was difficult to acquire due to the strength of their new enemies.
Rahz wanted to head towards the North Sea right away to get the people of the village a proper meal but in the darkness, the risk was a lot higher since the vision was minimal.According to the Elder, It was a bad time of the year to venture in the sea as the sun was only active for 6 hours a day but there was nothing else they could do.
In the time it took for the sun to come up, the team prepared and found out that Remulos as a druid was able to cast waterbreathing magic on them but most important of all he could transform into a water creature and swim at high speed in the water.
”If you can transform, how come you don't do it when we arrived at the towns” said Riddick.
”I am sorry Master... The more complex the creature's anatomy, the higher the level I have to be to shapeshift”
”So that is how it is.Let me see the transformation”
Nature Energy started gathering rapidly inside Remulos' body and then his body started changing quickly, decreasing in size into a 3 foot penguin looking humanoid with antlers and the bandana that cover his eyes.
”Can you still use spells in that form?”
”My Mana Pool is a lot smaller but it shouldn't be a problem to maintain the Water Breathing for everybody”
It was impossible to explore the ocean without Water Breathing, even at the Third Tier with their increased lung capacity, it was necessary to come up for air at regular intervals making it extremely difficult to have an impact in a short amount of time.
When the sun came up, the team was ready to tackle the task and jump into the sea, Riddick walked in and continued walking in the sea bed at a steady pace and jumping around like a astronaut on the moon and then falling back down again.
At the bottom of the sea there were many debris from the mainland brought back by the waves and many small fishes swam around.Since it was the first time Rahz and the others were venturing into the sea they decided to stop at the 10 mile mark and wait for the Megalodon to come to them, it wasn't a hard task to get his attention once they started killing his subordinates close to the shore.
