Another World's Versatile Crafting Master Chapter 1247 - Tiding Through The Crisis Together

Chapter 1247: Tiding Through The Crisis Together

“It’s the Wild Whale Rabu. Why did it appear here?!” To the mighty figures of the Sea Clans, the Wild Whale Rabu was more than just a myth and legend. Although Rabu had appeared in the waters of the Gilded Kingdom, it was a nightmare that the Sea Clans had no choice but to face.

Upon seeing the sudden abnormalities caused by Rabu that had previously existed only in myths and legends, Bradlor almost pa.s.sed out. In the beginning, Bradlor was in high spirits because of the Sea Market and the founding celebration. However, the appearance of Rabu dampened his mood and made his heart sink.

Does G.o.d want to destroy the Gilded Kingdom!? Bradlor struggled and managed to keep himself conscious, but deep down, he wished that he had pa.s.sed out. Everyone knew that Rabu was the nemesis of the Endless Ocean as it would destroy everything in its path. Apart from the destruction of the Sea Spirit Clan that was mentioned in the myths, there were also historical records of deaths of many Sea Clans caused by Rabu.

Although there were many Sanctuary powerhouses gathered there now, Bradlor didn’t feel confident at all. According to the legends, there were nearly 20 Sanctuary powerhouses that got annihilated by Rabu, along with the powerful legions composed of numerous Legendary powerhouses.

Moreover, the Sanctuary powerhouses of those Sea Clans wouldn’t make saving the Gilded Kingdom their priority. When the worst came to the worst, they would probably all flee and go separate ways. No one would be willing to stay behind and perish together with the Gilded Kingdom. With that thought in mind, Bradlor was in desperation.

At this moment, when Bradlor turned his head and saw Saint Edmund, he immediately felt like he had found a straw to clutch at. He eagerly said, “Saint Edmund, the Illuminati and the Gilded Kingdom have always stood in solidarity with each other. Now that we’re facing such a huge crisis, you can’t leave us in the lurch.”

Hearing Bradlor’s words, Saint Edmund couldn’t help but seem conflicted. He naturally understood how Bradlor felt, and knew that Bradlor had stated a fact. If the Illuminati left the Gilded Kingdom, it would lose its foundation, and thus wouldn’t be able to sustain its existence for long. However, they were now about to face the legendary Wild Whale Rabu. Even if the Illuminati used all their power, they probably wouldn’t be able to do anything to Rabu.

“Everyone, the Wild Whale Rabu has awakened again, and I’m afraid that the Endless Ocean will suffer countless calamities. I hope that we can all put aside our past feuds and grudges against each other for the time being, and tide through this crisis together, not only for the sake of the Gilded Kingdom, but also for the sake of the peace in the Endless Ocean.” Although Edmund was only a Saint of the Illuminati, his words carried considerable weight because of his great power.

Besides, Saint Edmund was right. No one could be certain that Rabu would really go into hibernation again after destroying the Gilded Kingdom, and G.o.d knew who its next target would be. Staying as far away as possible from Rabu didn’t guarantee absolute safety, because Rabu’s activity in the sea didn’t follow a regular pattern at all. Perhaps it might now turn around and charge towards the other sea areas.

Simply put, Rabu was the public enemy of all the Sea Clans, and the last time it went into hibernation was the result of the joint efforts of all the Sea Clans, which the Ocean Dynasty had unified. Although the Ocean Dynasty was no longer around now, and the powerful Ocean Royal Family had declined, the powerhouses of the other Sea Clans were still present, and they might be able to recreate their glory.

Edmund’s words immediately gained the approval of the crowd, especially the strongest of the several Sea Clans. Regardless of whether they were genuine about it or not, they declared that they definitely wouldn’t stand by and do nothing.

At this moment, the defensive force field of the First Fleet below finally faltered and collapsed under a random attack Rabu launched. Some of the lightweight battles.h.i.+ps that were not prepared for the attack were immediately shattered into pieces by the aftershock, and sunk to the bottom of the sea. Only 20-odd heavyweight alchemical battles.h.i.+ps were barely holding on under the powerful attack.

Seeing this situation, Saint Edmund knew that the First Fleet of the Gilded Kingdom would really be destroyed if he didn’t take action. At this moment, he swung the Chaos Scepter in his hand, and a four-headed and eight-armed Chaos Demon Deity appeared. The ma.s.sive power engulfed the remaining battles.h.i.+ps.

Seeing that Saint Edmund had attacked, the remaining Sanctuary powerhouses naturally didn’t dare to delay any longer as they started attacking Rabu which was far away.

He didn’t know whether to say that the Gilded Kingdom was lucky or unlucky to face Rabu as soon as it awakened after being in hibernation for more than 1,000 years. However, all the powerhouses of the various clans were fortunately gathered here at this time. If it were another time, the Gilded Kingdom probably wouldn’t be able to escape the ordeal even if they had a trump card.

However, even though there were so many Sanctuary powerhouses, it didn’t mean that the Gilded Kingdom could really survive the ordeal. Rabu had existed since prehistoric times, and its current strength had already reached the level of a demiG.o.d, which was considered a nearly invincible existence. Although the Gilded Kingdom had the support of the Sanctuary powerhouses of various clans, it wasn’t easy for them to deal with such a terrifying existence like Rabu.

Under the protection of the huge Chaos Demon Deity statue, the remaining s.h.i.+ps of the First Fleet began to evacuate from the sea because a battle at this level was no longer something they could partic.i.p.ate in. A powerful giant alchemical battles.h.i.+p was just like a child’s toy in comparison to Rabu. As long as its power wasn’t at the Sanctuary-level, it wouldn’t be able to cause the slightest harm to Rabu.

However, it was obvious that even a powerful Sanctuary powerhouse like Saint Edmund could barely hold up under Rabu’s attack. Rabu’s fins were like large blades that were parting the sea and striking the Chaos Demon Deity’s body ruthlessly. Each strike seemed to be able to make the Chaos Demon Deity’s body tremble vigorously.

Fortunately, the surrounding Sanctuary powerhouses of the various Sea Clans didn’t stand by and do nothing at this juncture. They began attacking Rabu and shared some of the brunt that Saint Edmund had to bear.

First of all, the Four Divine Generals of the Giant Shark Clan summoned the ancient Giant Shark that was silver and glistening, and then leaped from midair onto its back. The Four Divine Generals casually reached their hands into the sea, and long aquamarine spears dozens of meters long appeared in the hand of each of them. While riding on Rabu’s back, they looked like war G.o.ds, and they began charging towards Rabu.

Although Grina had been greatly angered during the auction, and he was extremely displeased with the Gilded Kingdom’s decision to defend the Tower of Dusk, it was a good chance for him to salvage his pride now. If his team contributed greatly to overcoming the ordeal this time, the Gilded Kingdom would no longer have the cheek to defend Grina’s enemy, the Tower of Dusk.

Another important reason was that the legend of the Wild Whale Rabu dated back to a long time ago before the present era. Young Sea Clan members like Grina did not have a very clear understanding of how terrifying Rabu was. In Grina’s opinion, his Four Divine Generals were all Sanctuary powerhouses, and as long as Rabu wasn’t a true deity, it would definitely have limited abilities.

Hence, under Grina’s command, the Four Divine Generals of the Giant Shark Clan charged towards the battlefield without hesitation. They were Sanctuary powerhouses, but their Combat Energy was not conspicuous, and seemed to be just a faint golden layer that was wrapped around their bodies, resembling golden armor.

Although the Four Divine Generals did not experience the era of Rabu’s ma.s.sacres, they were Sanctuary powerhouses, after all, and thus had a clearer understanding of the horrifying aura exuded by Rabu. Hence, when attacking Rabu, the four of them formed a diamond-shaped battle formation, and then darted towards Rabu like four rays of lightning.

Although the Four Divine Generals had suffered quite a huge loss in front of the Tower of Dusk’s emba.s.sy, a large part of it was because of the fact that they had underestimated the Tower of Dusk. As Sanctuary powerhouses, they naturally wouldn’t take an enemy like Connoris, who they thought was stuck at the peak of the Legendary-level, seriously. However, they didn’t expect that Connoris was powerful enough to rival the Sanctuary powerhouses.

Now that they were facing Rabu who was a demiG.o.d, the Four Divine Generals would probably be fools if they still had the same mindset as before. At this moment, they fully exerted their Combat Energy and exuded their true Sanctuary-level power without any negligence.

However, before the Four Divine Generals of the Giant Shark Clan could reach Rabu, the latter flapped its fin-like wings, and its ma.s.sive body flew out of the sea, looking like a mountain peak that was floating above the sea surface. However, it didn’t fly very high, and was hovering only about less than 20 meters from the surface of the sea, revealing its body.

Immediately afterwards, a large jet of water suddenly spurted out from Rabu’s back, which looked similar to an ordinary whale blowing water. However, the water jet became thicker and higher, as if it was about to soar up to the clouds. It darted into the sky, and then spread apart before falling down like millions of water arrows that engulfed the entire sea, and not just the Four Divine Generals.

There were several islands in this sea area because it was near Four Seasons Island. Those that were once quite prosperous already lost all vitality. Under the impact of the water arrows that Rabu spouted, the islands couldn’t survive. Each water arrow that fell on the islands would result in a loud explosive sound, followed by the collapse of the island. Soon, all the islands collapsed and vanished without a trace in front of everyone.

Seeing this scene, Bradlor was really heartbroken. Even though the wealth and people on those islands had been wiped out, there would still be hope for reconstruction as long as the islands still existed. Unfortunately, Rabu pulled a ruthless move on them this time, and destroyed the islands too. Even if they could survive this calamity, it would be difficult to make up for the losses.

In other words, every inch of land of each island was very valuable to a sea kingdom. If an island was occupied by an enemy, they would still have hopes of regaining possession of the island, but if the islands were destroyed, there was nothing that could be done, and it would be tantamount to the Gilded Kingdom losing their sea territories.

In particular, the islands in the vicinity of Four Seasons Island each had indispensable and irreplaceable functions, be it in terms of military or economy. Now that the islands had been destroyed, it would be impossible to rebuild them, and it was almost as if this sea area had lost its original value.

On the other hand, the Four Divine Generals of the Giant Shark Clan could only temporarily focus their energy on dealing with the countless water arrows. Although the water arrows seemed ordinary, each one contained an extremely terrifying power that even the four Sanctuary powerhouses who were physically strong didn’t dare to risk contending with.

The Four Divine Generals wielded the aquamarine spears in their hands skillfully, and continuously shattered the water arrows that fell on them. Their Combat Energy was like golden flames that shone brightly, and looked like four golden torches from afar.

Seeing that the Four Divine Generals under him had been blocked, Grina’s expression turned sullen. He initially thought that even if they couldn’t deter Rabu, they should also be able to make Rabu suffer some pain, and show the crowd how powerful the Giant Shark Clan was. However, the Four Divine Generals were the ones who were suffering now, and Rabu didn’t take them seriously at all.

Of course, the surrounding crowd was not aware of Grina’s intentions, so when they saw that the Four Divine Generals had charged forward, they thought that they naturally couldn’t lag behind. Manson, the prince of the Thunder Eel Clan, might have just entered the Sanctuary-realm, but he was a true Sanctuary powerhouse after all. Seeing this situation, he wanted to rush forward to display his incredible power as a Sanctuary powerhouse, but as soon as Manson moved, he was stopped by the Thunder Eel Clan elders who were behind him.

“Stand down! This is not a battle that you can partic.i.p.ate in!” Elder Gabrie of the Thunder Eel Clan hollered after blocking Manson.

Although Manson had already reached the Sanctuary-realm, he was still worlds apart from Rabu. Besides, Manson was the prince of the Thunder Eel Clan. Even if he was strong enough, Gabrie wouldn’t let him take the risk.

As the grand elder, Gabrie had an extraordinary position in the Thunder Eel Clan too—so important that even the Great Monarch of the Thunder Eel Clan had to be respectful to him.

Hence, despite being reluctant, Manson didn’t dare to show a hint of dissatisfaction with Gabrie. He had no choice but to retreat to the back obediently.

After stopping Manson, Gabrie didn’t bother looking at his disgruntled expression. Instead, he rubbed his hands together and waved his palm at Rabu without chanting any incantations. A purple electric python that was as thick as a bucket was soon shot at Rabu with a loud roar.
