Chapter 1017: Chapter 846: Arctic Prince Fleet

Arctic Ice Ocean.

The sky surged, and five airships appeared through teleportation.

Fafnir laughed, "Finally, they’re here! We won’t have to keep drifting in the ocean."

Remia smiled helplessly, "Turns out it’s the five royal princes!"

Sariel felt uncomfortable all over. Although guessing some princes might come, she didn’t expect all five. Initially thought the Fourth Prince might have some matters to attend to, but he still came.

Liya sighed, "A bit troublesome, isn’t it? With Tifa not around, someone will lack a dance partner at the ball."

Sariel realized, with five princes here and only four City Beauties, inevitably one won’t have a City Beauty to board with, making them the laughingstock.

Sariel proactively stirred things up, "Here’s the plan: we’ll all just join the Eldest Prince’s ship, preventing any embarrassment over the lack of a dance partner!"

Fafnir chuckled, "Is that alright?"

Sariel replied, "Considering he’s the Eldest Prince, his identity is a bit special; he can act as an arbitrator among his brothers. Leave it to me!"

Sariel then leapt up into the air, calling out, "Silver Sage Sariel and the four City Beauties request reinforcements from the kinsmen and ask the Eldest Prince to receive the four City Beauties."

Sure enough, the leading warship promptly responded with a loudspeaker; the tone sounded rather smug, "Welcome, Silver Sage and the four prestigious City Beauties to visit."

Gabriel laughed upon hearing this, "Interesting, I suspect they’ve been disputing this matter on their way here!"

Sariel snorted, "No need to dispute it now; if there’s any dissatisfaction, just focus it on the boss."

Michael felt uneasy, "I somehow feel, is Sariel upset with me?"

Sariel quickly said, "Boss, what are you thinking?"

Michael sighed, "I just thought you’re handling this situation rather skillfully."

Sariel responded sweating, "No, no, no! You’re always the beacon in our hearts, without you, we’d be clueless on how to play..."

Michael replied gloomily, "It’s been three days without revival for me, yet you’re all having a great time!"

Gabriel quickly shifted the topic, "Boss, this death penalty timing is way too long for us..."

As Sariel and the four City Beauties ascended to the deck of the Eldest Prince’s warship, a tall, robust man with a slight middle age, especially with a regal beard, was already waiting with a smile, "Welcome, prestigious ladies! You’ve worked hard!"

Seeing this guy about to perform a hand-kissing ceremony, Sariel gave no chance, "Your Highness, the enemy who defeated the Gem Guardian God positions right below us. We’ve tracked them all the way..."

Eve also said, "The specific coordinates are..."

The Eldest Prince’s smile disappeared, his demeanor instantly turned impressively mighty, "Brothers, the coordinates, magic energy high-explosive depth charges, bomb it!"

However, the other four ships did not respond, nor did they move toward the target destination.

The Eldest Prince’s face turned considerably unpleasant.

Just this reaction Sariel wanted, a smile formed but fearing misunderstanding from the boss.

Liya sighed, "Actually, we also miss the princes, but since there’s one less, we didn’t want to leave anyone out. We decided to all board the Grand Prince’s ship, considering it’s wartime, not a ball."

Fafnir also sighed, "The four princes act so childlike, the Grand Prince remains stable and reliable."

Instantly, the Eldest Prince’s expression eased, then he shouted through the loudspeaker, "Look at yourselves, is this a ball? This is war, let the ladies witness your skills!"

The Second Prince immediately spoke, "Ladies, I was actually meditating using magic energy to confirm coordinates and target count, scanning had yielded more precise values..."

The Fifth Prince also stated, "SSS-class Water Element, suspected Gem City fugitive. S-class Fire Element, six giant SSS-class Sea Beasts..."

...

At this time, Chun had just arrived at the third small vortex, preparing to throw the last dozen meteorite iron, when intense spatial ripples came from above the sea.

Chun was shocked, "Are they coming?"

Mei spoke gravely, "Didn’t expect it so soon; I’m afraid these last dozen iron might not be preserved."

Immediately ordering, "Companions, you’ve just fought the Guardian God and expended energy, disperse and leave as quickly as you can!"

The Sea Beasts scattered.

Chun faintly heard the loudspeaker echoing from above the sea, "...depth charges bombing..."

How powerful are the bombs?

Watching as the vortex had been sliced open, Chun was torn, "Should we still make one last effort?"

Mei said, "I don’t know, it’s up to you! Make a decision quickly."

At the critical moment, it depends on the players?

Chun’s Asura Spatial Slash had only trained to Intermediate level 10, a bit shy of a breakthrough, and with a dozen remaining, was intensely reluctant to leave; but he’d never been one to gamble.

Chun glanced at Mei, and with the departure of the Ice Car beast, the entire massive iceberg began to float; she was cutting the remaining ice block holding the dozen meteorite iron with a water blade.

Chun instantly discerned she actually didn’t want to leave!

Perhaps she had even figured out a retreat hiding spot—the alternate space Chun had sliced open? He actually wanted to go, since world origins are Creation Rules, her inquisitive research might also draw her there, just the unknown kept her; but being a clone, what was there to fear?

Chun made the decisive call, "Stay, completely hide these dozen meteorite iron too. Trust our floating iceberg draws their attention, enduring a wave of bombings for us!"

Mei agreed briskly, "Alright!"

This affirmation seemed powerful, directly cake-slicing the final iron box out. And Chun’s skill did not disappoint, leveling up with a critical slash!

—Asura Profession prompt: Congratulations! Your Asura Spatial Slash skill was elevated to Advanced Level 1; achievement earned: Attack +1, Magic Attack +1, Life +1, Physical Strength +1; your extraordinary wisdom, the success of Divine Artisan-level modules blending warrior and Asura’s skills, your warrior profession skills Grandmaster Level dual-wield weapon mastery, dual-wield parry and block, disarm, dodge, weakness strike, critical strike mastery have preliminarily grasped the Divine Artisan-level insights.

...

Holy Shit, simply leveling to Advanced actually elevated the low-end, activating a heap of Grandmaster warrior skills to Divine Artisan insights!

No mistake, this heap of warrior Grandmasters wasn’t trained by me, came as reward having returned from a millennium, indicating I’ve lived a millennium; lazing around deserves Grandmaster, isn’t far from Divine Artisan either!

And having ascended to Advanced, Chun’s slash directly teared open the vortex fitting exactly for the meteorite iron.

Mei immediately drove Water Element hands grabbing meteorite iron each and tossing in!

Two!

Four!

Then Chun heard numerous heavy objects plunging into the water!

Hurry, six!

Eight!

Then, an enormous explosion overhead, the dark seabed suddenly illuminated, the recently surfaced Ice Car was shattered...
