Capítulo 2879: Chapter 1576: Return and Warning (Part 2)
Just as Leo Ray was thinking this, the opponent’s hysterical laughter abruptly stopped, the old Fishman King’s frail body collapsed on the ground, breathing faintly.
“It’s Father King’s aura!”
Lena’s starry eyes lit up, she hurriedly stepped forward to support the old Fishman King, her face full of joy: “Father King has returned!”
Meanwhile, Little Fan was also full of excitement, assisting Lena in supporting the unconscious old Fishman King.
Soon after, the three felt a flash of white light in front of them, and in a blur, they found themselves back in the dark and damp Underground Temple, or more appropriately, inside a gigantic skeleton.
“Your Majesty!”
Seeing Leo Ray and the others reappear, whether it was Fei’er, Moli, Elder Bing, or Kira and Hollis, all rushed up excitedly.
After confirming that Leo Ray wasn’t injured, everyone joyfully recounted what had just happened.
It was just as Leo Ray had predicted; after the three mysteriously disappeared, the astonished group quickly returned to normal.
Thanks to the quick reactions of Fei’er and Elder Bing, the dense Power of Divine Grace once again enveloped everyone.
The following events were evident; with everyone’s concerted effort, the mysterious statue was quickly shattered, and the three reappeared before everyone.
“According to everyone’s description, all this happened in just a few breaths, while the time spent in the Spiritual Space was clearly much longer, similar to when signing the contract with the Stone Spirit.”
“So, when signing the contract, was I also entering a temporary Spiritual Space? After all, from the outside perspective, there was only a dazzling golden light.”
Leo Ray looked at the statue base still emitting black smoke, nodded thoughtfully.
Looking around, the deadly giant circle and Guardians of Devouring were also gone, leaving only a desolate and empty space.
It’s worth noting that the eerie white light originally emitted within the space had also fully dissipated, undoubtedly indicating that the opponent had been thoroughly defeated.
“Thank you sincerely, Your Majesty, for rescuing my Father King!”
Lena knelt down, her face full of gratitude, while the old Fishman King slowly opened his eyes under Little Fan’s support, though he seemed weak, his murky old eyes were noticeably clearer.
“Princess, there’s no need for so much formality, it’s just a simple task.”
Leo Ray bent down to help her up, then nodded to the newly awakened old Fishman King: “Let’s leave here first.”
Afterwards, everyone made their way back, quickly returning to the ancient Fishman Castle.
Seeing the old King safely rescued and the dreadful Guardians of Devouring already gone, the anxiously waiting Fishman ministers and generals were overjoyed, casting grateful and admiring glances at Leo Ray.
“Thank King Your Majesty for saving this old self, and saving the entire Fishman Kingdom!”
In the King’s room, the old Fishman King, having just regained some strength, sat up from the bed, intending to bow to Leo Ray, but was stopped by the latter.
“Fishman Your Majesty has exaggerated, it’s nothing significant.”
Leo Ray gently placed him back onto the bed, smiling: “We just did our part, but the true heroes are Princess Lena and every Fishman who never gave up.”
After rescuing the old King, Leo Ray initially wanted the frail elder to rest well, yet the elder insisted on expressing gratitude personally, resulting in this scene.
“Truly, Your Majesty of the Humans is extraordinary, no wonder you’ve gained fame in the Outer Region, I am very humbled.”
After expressing gratitude, the old Fishman King’s wrinkled face was filled with regret, speaking sadly: “I was bewitched by that thing, nearly making a grave mistake.”
“Father King, why do you say so, if not for your continuous struggle with that creature, the Desert Fishmen would have long been starving!”
Lena, looking at the old Fishman King’s regretful face, couldn’t help but say.
“Lena, my daughter, if your father could see through everything, the Desert Fishmen wouldn’t be in such disrepute today.”
The old Fishman King bitterly smiled and shook his head, then turned to Leo Ray: “Your Majesty of the Humans, I nearly became a plaything for them, but my remaining consciousness saw everything, it’s all thanks to Your Majesty’s help that the Fishman Kingdom and my old self could survive this calamity.”
“Fishmen repay kindness and never neglect friends, so please rest assured, from this moment on, the Desert Fishmen will be Your Majesty’s most loyal comrades!”
With these words, the assembled strong individuals rejoiced; although it took some twists and turns, we gained a new ally!
“Your Majesty of the Humans, this old self has come to understand Your Majesty’s intent to gather strength against the Broken Wing King of the Throne Corridor, that despicable creature is indeed rampant, disregarding other Second-tier Powers, only seizing and suppressing, but I’m afraid it’s not that simple.”
The old Fishman King’s face was filled with seriousness, speaking again to Leo Ray.
“Oh? What do you mean by this?”
Leo Ray frowned slightly, inquired.
“To be honest, Your Majesty of the Humans, not long ago, I received a piece of news, that the Broken Wing King seems to have connections with Winged Race strong individuals.”
The old Fishman King’s expression grew increasingly solemn, nodding heavily: “Although it’s just information my spy obtained from the Broken Wing Clan and not fully verified, it’s something we can’t ignore.”
“Fishman Your Majesty, you’re saying the Broken Wing Clan might have Winged beings backing them?”
Leo Ray’s brows furrowed further, nodding thoughtfully.
Upon hearing this, including Moli, Fei’er, Kira, and Hollis, everyone else also furrowed their brows tightly.
It’s known that the Winged Race stands at the peak of the Ten Thousand Clans as a First-class force, with incomprehensible heritage, far beyond what we can contend with now.
Moreover, Winged beings are known for their aloofness, residing mostly on hidden Sky Islands, rarely directly interacting with other Ten Thousand Clans, so it’s no exaggeration to say that even other First-class forces like the Elf Tribe or Dwarf Clan cannot fully comprehend the heritage of the Winged Race.
“But those chicken wings are known for their pride, rarely participating in even First-class force struggles, so would they meddle in Second-tier Powers’ affairs?”
Moli frowned, pouting as she spoke.
It’s known that Forest Elves, although not as hostile as the Light and Dark Elves, without substantial enemies, due to their own arrogance, don’t get along with other First-class forces like the Dwarf Clan and the Winged Race.
Especially the Winged Race, whose arts and magic accomplishments rival the highly esteemed Forest Elves, making Forest Elves dislike them, perceiving Winged beings as rivals. Thus, it’s no surprise that Moli calls them chicken wings.
“Your Excellency is correct, so I judge that even if the Broken Wing Clan is in contact with Winged beings, it certainly wouldn’t be with the core elements of the Winged Race, probably a group of rashly acting Winged strong individuals.”
The old Fishman King nodded to Moli, then seriously said: “Nevertheless, the Winged Race is unquestionably a genuine First-class force, among the more mysterious ones, and the critical point is, the origin of the Winged strong individuals is unknown, there could be ties to the core elements of the Winged Race, so I remind Your Majesty of the Humans to be cautious.”
“Thank you for the reminder, Fishman Your Majesty, this is indeed something to be attentive to.”
Leo Ray pondered and nodded, soon slightly bowing his head: “But the arrow is on the string, it’s impossible not to release it, so let me see what they’re truly capable of.”
