Chapter 2693 Discovered!
Another six months passed and finally Minos was fully recovered from the sacrifice of the Flashdrain parasite.
Back in his normal state, he returned to cultivating and actively helping his crew in the remaining months of sailing the dangerous Violent Sea.
With just over six months left before they reached Uzira, Minos would focus his remaining sea voyage time on leading his people to the ultimate opportunities in their path before their arrival on the mighty strongest continent in this world.
With several companions close to achieving level advancements, and already on a quieter stretch of sea, he would, from now on, take a few more risks than he had done so far.
…
While Minos was sailing closer than ever to his goal, a long way from his current position was the Sea Serpent, furiously attacking everything around it.
In a marine area more than a year’s journey away from where Minos’ crew was now, the white-scaled creature, with a colorful glow about its body, was in a foul mood.
Months of searching and it had come up with nothing to take it closer to the Nautilus’ Compass. On the contrary, it had only moved further away from its target.

Now, years deep in its search, with several negative results from each of its men involved in this hunt, it was at a point where it couldn’t help but lose control and show the world its anger.
“You bastard!” it cursed in a language that only it itself understood, cursing the new bearer of the Nautilus’ Compass, who at that moment was probably laughing at it.
“You’ve fooled me for months, but I’m still going to put you to your death, you bastard!” it continued cursing Minos as its tail slammed against the surface of the sea, sending waves into the surroundings, generating a tsunami of its own.
The gray clouds in the sky flashed, colorful lightning bolts forming and descending violently.
The energy between the sea and the clouds changed, with cutting winds, capable of cutting through mountains, forming with the first drops of water falling from the sky.
It had only realized today that someone had subtly manipulated its destiny, even though it was the most powerful being in the sea. That was also why it was angry, swearing to the heavens that he would kill Minos or die trying.
At that moment, the effects of Minos’ manipulation disappeared completely, destroyed by the overwhelming power of this Supreme.
Fortunately for him, he was already completely out of reach of the strongest of these seas.
The problem? The Sea Serpent didn’t intend to forgive Minos, no matter how long it took it to find its target.
‘Alert the entire sea. I want you to help me find someone, the holder of a certain aura!’ It looked down at the sea below its body and issued this order to its minions waiting for it on the ocean floor.
Minos had manipulated it enough to escape, but it hadn’t come without a cost. By breaking Minos’ manipulation, the Sea Serpent identified its enemy’s spiritual fluctuation!
‘Find the holder of that aura! Find him, whatever it takes, no matter how long it takes!’ it roared in the minds of its subordinates, making each of them imprint Minos’ spiritual fluctuation in their minds, before each of them swam off in different directions to spread its orders.
Standing alone on the surface of the sea, the Sea Serpent looked up at the sky for a moment, determined to send a message to its allies in Uzira as well.
‘I can’t set foot on that continent you’re probably heading for. But I’ll make sure your journey is chaotic, bastard! I will force you to flee across this very sea and return to me!’
With that thought, an oath in itself, the Sea Serpent moved, disappearing from that area. ƒreewebɳovel.com
…
“… The Sea Serpent has made his move.” Minos suddenly stopped what he was talking about moments ago with his companions, sensing a sudden change in the future in front of him.
“Uh? What are you talking about?” Abby asked, not understanding the sudden change in tone and content her husband was talking about.
They had just stopped in one area and collected resources when the group was about to split up to meditate in seclusion in the area where they were moored. No one expected Minos’ comment, nor his subsequent action of summoning the coffins of Wenni and Walkas.
The two corpses emerged from their places of hibernation and looked at Minos before he explained. “I altered part of the Sea Serpent’s fate to make him go far away from us. But he’s just broken my spiritual manipulation and discovered my aura.”
“That…” Wenni looked at her husband, somewhat uncertainly.
“He discovered your aura, you say?” Walkas looked at Minos with a worried look, seeing the white-haired man’s nod of confirmation.
He and his wife had ignored the changes in Minos’ aura since their last meeting months ago and had lamented almost simultaneously.
“That’s a shame. If he’s sensed your aura, it’s likely that he’ll spread it to all the Supremes of the Violent Sea and even communicate with allies in Uzira.” Walkas make everyone around Minos swallow their saliva.
“In that case, prepare for the worst.” Wenni explained a little more than her husband, “From what I can sense, we’re close to reaching Uzira. So you won’t have to deal with the Sea Serpent directly for now. But it’s very likely that we’ll face problems in Uzira in the future. Certainly, Supremes of at least mid-level will hunt us down. And given the reality of that continent, it will only be a matter of time before we are found.”
“His allies in Uzira will move to the new arrivals area on the continent and hunt us down. The place isn’t that big, so I don’t give them five years to find us.” Walkas finished his wife’s speech, making Minos understand exactly what he would have to deal with.
Minos sighed. “We’ll have to deal with it. I had no choice. Either we faced him over a year ago and died, or I risked letting him learn my aura.”
“You did the right thing,” Walkas agreed with him. “But now we have to be on our guard. This will probably lead to problems that will force us into deadly situations or an escape from Uzira. But if we run away from Uzira, the Sea Serpent will find us. Now traveling on this sea is no longer safe, not even using the Nautilus’ Compass!”
This worried the group even more, given the fact that they would have to return to Oqia at some point in the future.
