Chapter 1062 Whale
Chapter 1062 Whale
After half an hour, Theo and the group managed to cover almost 70 percent of the distance. However, the threats also increased, considering they needed to face all these threats alone.
For Theo, these monsters were EXP for him. He took advantage of the situation to level up twice during the trip, considering he was the one killing all the monsters.
Though, the same couldn't be said for the others. Mark had been maintaining his power output the whole time, so he had exhausted a portion of his Magic Power.
Maya was working with their boat as well, maintaining the power output as well as the defense mechanism.
Meanwhile, Isaac was the one that had the most reaction. The group had some fun just watching his response.
"Joker. The boat can only handle it six more times." Maya reported.
"Understood." Theo nodded with a serious tone as he continued looking forward. Now that they had reached the deep sea, the monsters had become far stronger than those near the shore.
One of them managed to hit the boat because they attacked in a huge group.
Still, the closer they were to the island, the more dangerous the threat. Even Theo understood this after listening to the Dark King's story.
He closed his eyes for a moment, recalling the time he practiced together with the Dark King.
"That island, huh… Getting to that island is a chore. A few decades ago, I went there with the help of an eagle that carried me over the ocean.
"According to the eagle, he couldn't fly too high because it would be targeted by many flying monsters, and he couldn't fly too low due to the threats from the water.
"That was why he increased and decreased his altitude from time to time, allowing us to pass most of the trouble.
"However, the closer you are to the island, the more dangerous it is. Even the Queen of Destiny told me that four Mythical Rank creatures watched over the island.
"The east is protected by a shark that constantly releases its bloodlust. An enormous whale protects the north. There is a giant octopus in the west and a dolphin in the south.
"From where you're going, I think you're going to enter that island through the west entrance since you told me an octopus would usually appear around the entrance. That octopus would decimate you with all his strength, and only a portion of you can go through.
"So, my suggestion is, you should go through the north entrance and face the whale. Even the eagle said the same thing, telling me that this was the easiest entrance.
"The whale will let you enter the island as long as you withstand a single attack from him. I know that your current strength can't go against the whale, so I suggest attempting the easiest attack the whale can give.
"It's the burst of water that comes out from him. If you fly from above, the burst of water is just an attack with high pressure. As long as you can neutralize that pressure, you will be fine."
"So, the monster was just a gatekeeper or something, testing the one that wanted to get to the island?" Theo frowned after listening to his explanation.
"Yes. Remember about the blood?"
"I see." Theo nodded in understanding.
Recalling this scene, Theo suddenly said, "Maya. Change our course."
"Huh?" Maya tilted her head in confusion. They were about to reach the island, so it didn't make sense if Theo wanted to change the course.
But Theo insisted, "Go left and loop around the island. We will proceed from there."
"Why?" Maya didn't understand Theo's order. After all, this order would waste so much time. They might even waste all the time they had gotten in the first place. Even Mark and Isaac frowned.
"Just do it if you don't want to die. Do you think I ordered all of you to go at full speed for no reason?" Theo sighed.
Maya fell silent for a moment before accepting the command, changing the course. "Do you know something we don't?"
"Yes. I will explain it after we reach the island." Theo waved his hand. He was truly blessed by the information he got from the Dark King.
"Still, I'm afraid that we need to fight the octopus… It always stops us whenever the island comes out of the water. How are we going to fight against that raging octopus, Joker?" Isaac asked.
Theo ignored Isaac's words and said to Mark. "On my signal, I want you to shoot the most powerful wind you got. Maya will maintain the defense while Isaac uses all your support abilities."
Mark nodded to Theo's order while Maya asked another question. "How confident are you in reaching the island alone? You should know there will be a Mythical Rank Monster stopping us…"
"If I say a hundred percent, will you trust me and not panic no matter how ridiculous it'll get?" Theo asked with a smile.
"Ehm… You're not the type of a person who will lie to me… I guess?" Maya made a wry smile.
However, no matter how Theo's assurance worked, the scene they saw still completely blew their minds.
After looping around the island for another ten minutes, Theo and the others finally saw the island on the horizon.
It would only take them two more minutes until they reached the island.
But another huge bubble appeared. The size of this one was on a scale no one had ever seen before.
With a length of a thousand feet, the bubble completely covered the island.
The water gradually flowed down, revealing a dark blue skin as well as an eye on the right side.
The shape was revealed, showing the appearance of a whale that had just emerged from the sea.
"What is this…" The color had disappeared from Isaac's face as he dropped to his butt.
"A whale! A Mythical Rank Whale." Even Maya panicked, thinking they didn't have any information about this monster. It would make the situation more dangerous.
Mark gulped down while closing his eyes. This journey might be his last.
Yet, despite the others falling into despair, a confident smile appeared on Theo as he raised his hand, lifting the water with his Telekinesis.
"It's time for the challenge."
