Chapter 1220: Mediation

Immediately afterwards, a sanguine light appeared, and a bloodied hole emerged in Garcia’s chest. Garcia put his hands together in a bid to blast away the enemy in front of him, only to end up missing. Norfeller, who had fused with the s.p.a.ce, had already retreated G.o.d knew where.

Fortunately, unlike the human race, the hearts of the Sea Clan were located in the center of their bodies, slightly below their throat. Although Norfeller was a Sanctuary-level a.s.sa.s.sin, he clearly didn’t understand the physical structure of the Sea Clans very well, so he a.s.sa.s.sinated him as he would humans. In the end, he merely poked a hole in Garcia’s body.

Unlike the Sanctuary-level mages, powerhouses of the Giant Shark Clan like Garcia used their strong bodies and their mastery of the laws of power to reach the Sanctuary-realm. They couldn’t create large and powerful Domain Worlds like mages could, but their bodies themselves were like Domain Worlds.

Hence, for Sanctuary powerhouses like Garcia who had already reached level-27, being stabbed and having a hole born in their chests would be considered a minor injury as long as their heads or hearts were not destroyed. Having their limbs severed wouldn’t be fatal for them, because their limbs had the ability to regenerate rather rapidly.

However, the issue now was not about the severity of their injuries! Garcia was stabbed in the chest by a sword before he could even attack, which was a blatant insult to his face. If he had been stabbed from behind or somewhere that was impossible to defend, he might feel somewhat comforted. The fact that he couldn’t even defend himself against an attack that came from the front was too embarra.s.sing.

Zorro, who had been blasted away by Connoris, was feeling just as ashamed and miserable, even though he didn’t sustain any injuries. At the very least, Garcia’s opponent was a rare Sanctuary-level vampire. However, Zorro was blasted away by the punch of a Legendary-level opponent, which made him feel more humiliated than Garcia.

Hence, after landing firmly on the ground, Zorro did not stop for a single second, and immediately charged towards Connoris again. He wasn’t convinced that Connoris was stronger than him, and he believed that the reason for the current situation was merely because he had underestimated Connoris. Hence, the only way he could regain his pride would be to destroy Connoris with ma.s.sive power.

In a certain sense, Zorro’s mindset was right. The difference between the peak Legendary-realm and the Sanctuary-realm was a difference in power which could not be made up for by increasing quant.i.ty. However, he probably never expected Connoris to be a freak who was at the Legendary-realm but had a perfect body that was at the Sanctuary-level. Besides, his perfect body was even comparable to that of the wyrms and the t.i.tans. The Giant Shark Clan had powerful bodies, but they seemed inferior to the perfect body.

Connoris’ situation was akin to a t.i.tan-level Alchemy Colossus being manipulated by a greenhorn. Although the controller’s skills had not reached the level of perfection yet, it wouldn’t affect the level of the t.i.tan-level Alchemy Colossus. Even if the Alchemy Colossus couldn’t be used to perform any fancy tricks, each punch that it launched was at the level of the t.i.tans. That was the reason that Connoris could fight a Sanctuary powerhouse despite being only at the Legendary-level.

Seeing that Zorro rushed forth again, Connoris smiled and dashed towards the former like a bolt of lighting. In the blink of an eye, their figures collided with a thunderous roar that filled the air. Amidst the dense roar, the aftershocks of power rippled through s.p.a.ce and spread in all directions like ripples on water.

Even the blind could tell that it was no longer just probing. Zorro’s punches contained so much power that they seemed to be able to break through s.p.a.ce. The ancient Giant Shark condensed from the power fluctuations began twisting its body, and leapt onto Connoris vigorously like a shark that had smelled the odor of blood.

The battle had already begun, and the people of the Giant Shark Clan below naturally couldn’t stand by and watch without doing anything like they did just now. In particular, they were really shocked by what happened to Garcia and Zorro because it made them realize that the small and nameless force could not be dealt with as easily as they had imagined.

Seeing that two of the Four Divine Generals had been attacked by the members of the Tower of Dusk, the arrogant and sn.o.bbish Grina immediately felt his face turning hot. Just now, he threatened them, and said that he would make sure that they couldn’t leave the Endless Ocean alive. Yet, his Divine Generals couldn’t even defeat the other party. Although he wasn’t the one at a disadvantage, it was just like an insult to him.

However, just when Grina signaled his men to prepare for action, the killing intent that shrouded all the Giant Shark Clan members suddenly vanished without a trace. They didn’t relax or let their guards down. Instead, they tensed up even more, and protected Grina by standing around him.

They all knew that the appearance of that killing intent was just a warning from Norfeller, the Sanctuary-realm vampire. However, the disappearance of the killing intent didn’t mean that they were no longer in danger, because a.s.sa.s.sins tended to conceal their killing intent right before they attacked. If the killing intent could be detected, they wouldn’t be considered true a.s.sa.s.sins.

Although Grina and many of his subordinates were enraged, and really wanted to kill the people of the Tower of Dusk, they had no choice but to curb their anger in the face of the threat of a Sanctuary-level vampire.

Seeing that Connoris and Zorro were fighting, Elder Zumar knew that if he didn’t intervene and do something about it, there would probably be huge trouble. Hence, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and open his Domain World before rus.h.i.+ng up to the sky and stopping between Zorro and Connoris. Elder Zumar’s intervention was so abrupt that it caught Zorro and Connoris off guard. Two terrifying forces immediately blasted against his Domain World.

Although Elder Zumar was also a high-level Sanctuary powerhouse, he had a hard time withstanding the simultaneous attack from Zorro and Connoris. His Domain World was an oceanic world, and it seemed to have been turned upside down after being bombarded by both the forces at the same time. It resulted in an apocalyptic scene of s.p.a.ce shattering and water gus.h.i.+ng in.

In Elder Zumar’s Domain World, a blue crystal pillar quickly began rotating rapidly, emitting layers of power that was quickly repairing the damage of the Domain World. Fortunately, Zorro and Connoris also coincidentally stopped at this juncture. Otherwise, even with the help of the Divine Sea Pillar, Elder Zumar’s Domain World probably would have collapsed in the end.

“Everyone, please listen to me, don’t forget that this is the capital of the Gilded Kingdom. Fighting here is very disrespectful to the Gilded Kingdom!” Elder Zumar said anxiously after seeing that the two people had finally stopped fighting for the time being. However, both of them started fighting again before he could even finish speaking.

Hearing Elder Zumar mention the Gilded Kingdom, Grina couldn’t help but frown. Although the Giant Shark Clan was one of the seven hegemons of the Endless Ocean, it didn’t mean that they could really do whatever they wanted in the Endless Ocean. After all, the Giant Shark Clan was not the ruler of the entire Endless Ocean.

The Giant Shark Clan was very powerful, but the Gilded Kingdom definitely wasn’t weak. The Gilded Kingdom managed to dominate and stand tall in the Endless Ocean for thousands of years all because of their true power and strength. The Giant Shark Clan had powerful Giant Shark Knights, while the Gilded Kingdom had giant alchemical battles.h.i.+ps that gained a great reputation through dominating the Endless Ocean. They were not inferior to the Giant Shark Knights at all.

The most important thing was that the Gilded Kingdom had been staying out of the wars between the Sea Clans, which allowed the seven Sea Clans to strike a subtle balance. If the Gilded Kingdom opposed the Giant Shark Clan, it would definitely have a huge impact on the development of the latter. Likewise, if they became allies with the Giant Shark Clan, the Giant Shark Clan would probably be a huge step closer to unifying the Sea Clans.

Grina and his men came to attend the Gilded Kingdom’s founding celebration in hopes of getting closer to the Gilded Kingdom so that they could reach some kind of agreement. If they created any trouble in the capital of the Gilded Kingdom this time, Grina’s mission would probably be greatly affected this time.

However, when the four Divine Generals were hesitating, Grina laughed out loud, and said, “I’m afraid you have an ulterior motive for saying this, don’t you, Elder Zumar? I’ve heard about the conflict between the Gilded Kingdom and the Tower of Dusk. Bradlor would probably want us to teach the Tower of Dusk a lesson for him. Besides, you are an elder of the Illuminati, not an elder of the Gilded Kingdom, so how can your words represent the Gilded Kingdom?”

Grina was wavering at first, but he soon thought of the information regarding the Tower of Dusk shaming the Gilded Kingdom twice he heard previously. Regardless of the reason for Bradlor’s decision to tolerate it for the time being, Grina believed that Bradlor would probably be glad if he taught the Tower of Dusk a lesson. It might even be more helpful to his mission on this trip instead.

Elder Zumar was at a loss for words. He would never tell anyone the real reason that the Gilded Kingdom was being tolerant towards the Tower of Dusk, and his ident.i.ty indeed did not give him the right to represent the Gilded Kingdom. Hence, Elder Zumar actually didn’t know what to say in response to Grina’s words.

Seeing Elder Zumar’s behavior, Grina was even more convinced that his conjectures were true. He waved his hand and asked his men to launch an attack on the people of the Tower of Dusk. Two Divine Generals had to stay by his side to protect him, but he had many other Legendary-level guards. Coupled with Sanctuary powerhouses like Zorro and Garcia, they could easily destroy a small and nameless force!

After all, although Zorro and Garcia had suffered some losses, it only concerned their pride. It didn’t mean that Connoris and Norfeller were really stronger than them. Besides, now that Zorro and Garcia should be aware of their opponents’ strength, they should have no problems in the next clash.

Apart from the two Divine Generals who remained by Grina’s side to protect him, the other Legendary-level guards immediately moved towards the emba.s.sy of the Tower of Dusk after receiving Grina’s orders. In their eyes, other than Connoris and Norfeller, who seemed to have some capabilities, the members of the Tower of Dusk were simply insignificant.

Faced with the compulsion of the approaching Giant Shark Clan members, the mages of the Tower of Dusk quietly drew their magic staffs without much emotion, and arranged the Magic Net Array. They then got into standby. Although Ujfalusi did not summon the Hand of The Mage, he didn’t loaf around, either, and instead touched the Skeleton Staff while the death aura around him gradually became denser.

Seeing that more trouble was about to happen, Elder Zumar suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and exclaimed, “Wait, Prince Grina, this is the capital of the Gilded Kingdom no matter what, and all matters should be handled by the Gilded Kingdom. Since I can’t represent the Gilded Kingdom, I’ll ask someone who can represent the Gilded Kingdom to come here.”

“Stop!” Although he was skeptical about Elder Zumar’s words, Grina nevertheless temporarily told his subordinates to stop. It wasn’t that he didn’t believe Elder Zumar’s words, but rather he thought that Elder Zumar did make some sense because he ought to inform someone from the Gilded Kingdom even though he might be standing up for them. Although he just wanted to vent his anger, it would be great if he could gain some benefits from this too.

Seeing that Grina seemed to have finally accepted his advice, Elder Zumar immediately summoned his disciple, Forcus, and instructed him to go to the royal palace immediately, and report to King Bradlor about what happened here.

In fact, Forcus didn’t think that Bradlor would still stand on the Tower of Dusk’s side after being humiliated by them twice. After all, he didn’t have the right to know the true reason for Bradlor’s tolerance for the Tower of Dusk. However, since Elder Zumar had instructed him to do that, he had no choice but to do as he was told.

“Yes, Teacher!” Forcus answered, and immediately headed to the palace.

The emba.s.sy area was not far from the palace, and Forcus didn’t dare to delay at all. Hence, it only took him a few minutes to reach the gate of the palace. Immediately afterwards, the guards went to report, and Forcus was soon brought to King Bradlor under the lead of the palace guards.

After a detailed discussion with Saint Edmund, Bradlor’s att.i.tude toward the Tower of Dusk had also changed dramatically. Previously, he had pretended to hold the Tower of Dusk with great respect when receiving them and the other forces of the Breezy Plains, all for the sake of avoiding conflict. However, he hadn’t really taken them seriously at all.

However, King Bradlor was now considering how to form good relations with the Tower of Dusk. Unfortunately, the two incidents had put a strain on the relations.h.i.+p between the Gilded Kingdom and the Tower of Dusk. Bradlor would never swallow his pride and curry favor with Lin Li. Hence, building good relations with the Tower of Dusk had become one of his greatest troubles.
