Chapter 347 - Send Them All Away

“Your Highness, I’m sorry I’m late! This is not a place to stay for long. The news of my appearance has probably already spread. If we stay here for a long time, I’m afraid that there will be human platinum-tier elites coming to attack us.”

After seeing Watson swallowed by the blue whale and knowing that there was no saving him, Owen went to Alice and the others.

His voice compressed millions of tons of seawater to the extreme and gave it spirituality, allowing it to track its enemies like a fish freely. The water column condensed to a certain degree could already pierce through steel, not to mention the tens of millions of tons of turbulent seawater. The seawater was like a saw that could easily cut off any human body that came into contact with it.

At the same time, those overwhelmed by the seawater would have their bodies crushed. Their organs and bones would be pounded into meat paste. The shattered houses and solid walls around them were proof of that.

“Brother Owen, why did you attack Brother Watson? Is he alright?”

Alice did not respond to Owen’s words. Instead, she looked at the place where Watson had disappeared. The water pressure there exploded where hundreds of giant blue whales collided. There was only a white bubble as far as the eye could see, and even though the space had become unstable, black cracks had appeared in the surroundings.

Alice bit her lips tightly. She seemed sad, like a doll that had lost its soul.

“Your Highness, the Sea Emperor is waiting for us outside the city. If you have anything to say, please wait until we return to the sea. I will personally apologize to you.”

Owen felt a pang of heartache when he saw her face. As the bravest warrior of the sea tribe, Alice had been under his care since she was young, just like his daughter. Therefore, after Alice disappeared, his heart was filled with anger. He decided to ignore the risk and went ashore with the Sea Emperor to find Alice.

Finally, after only a day, they had killed a few people from the Severed Fingers Gang and found out that Alice would be auctioned that day. Therefore, they brought all the sea folk royal family’s wealth and were prepared to buy Alice at the auction. They left quietly. Who would have thought that their plan, which should have been flawless, would be ruined by Watson?

No one knew what method Watson used to create a platinum-tier Goddess of Misfortune Statue on the spot. Even a pearl worth hundreds of millions of gold coins was inferior to it.

There was no other way. Since they could not take Alice away quietly, they could only make a big fuss and take Alice by force. At that moment, after listening to Elena and Alice’s words, he realized that Young Master Casey was actually a fake. During the process of gathering information, Owen heard that Casey was the first group of people to take Alice away. That was why he did not inform Alice and the others before he launched a sneak attack in anger.

He knew that he had killed the wrong person, but Owen had no way to make up for it. He could only take Alice and the others away and then make a long-term plan.

Boom!

Suddenly, they heard a violent sound from the center of the ocean, accompanied by a ball of scorching heat.

“Platinum-tier spell, Chain Vermillion Nova.”

Golden-red suns rose one after another and fell on the blue whales swimming in the ocean. After absorbing the golden-red sun, the blue whales expanded infinitely, turning into gas. Then, it exploded, and dry wind blew out from within the area. It eliminated the water vapor in the air.

Initially, Owen’s platinum-tier spell could fill the entire Crystal Palace with the water. Other people would be busy trying to escape, and he could have successfully run with Alice. However, as the red suns rose, the seawater in the entire Crystal Palace instantly evaporated, turning into white clouds that floated into the sky, forming a continuous layer of clouds.

Many passersby trapped in the water almost drowned; they coughed violently. They fell to the ground with disheveled hair; they looked like drowned rats.

The wreckage of houses that had been floating in the ocean also fell with a rustle, piling up into a small hill on the ground.

In that mess, Watson’s disguise, Casey, was floating in the air. The bandages wrapped around his arms were dancing in the air, and the phantoms of thousands of arms and hundreds of eyes appeared behind him, constantly flickering. If it were not for the wounds on his body and face, he would have looked like a god of war.

“How is that possible?”

Owen looked at the sky in shock. His face was filled with disbelief. Others might think that he caused the wounds on Watson’s body, but he knew very well that the attack did not harm his opponent. Those wounds were already on Watson’s body.

He had just his strongest move to kill Casey due to his anger. Even though the sea tribe’s platinum-tier elites were not as prevalent as the humans, their peak strength was not inferior. That was also why the sea tribe was often captured and sold by humans, but their race was not exterminated.

Even elites of the same level should have been seriously injured when confronted with his enraged attack. When he looked over, the fake Casey was still alive. Who exactly was that person?

“So, Watson is fine. He scared us to death.”

Elena and the others let out a sigh of relief. At the same time, they were a bit surprised. They knew Owen’s strength very well. He was considered one of the top platinum-tier warriors. Otherwise, Owen would not have dared to come here alone to save them. However, Watson had blocked Owen’s attack. That youth’s strength had once again exceeded their expectations.

“It hurts.”

Watson unfolded his Einherjar body and used the illusory arm that extended out from his back to rub his body.

Owen’s attack had been terrifying. Even though he had the Einherjar body, he still felt the pain. However, that was all to it. If it were not for his identity as Casey, he would not have been able to reveal too much of his strength. He only needed to use his Absolute Reflex spell to deal with Owen’s whales.

“It’s Young Master Casey. He saved us?”

Many people on the street raised their heads with difficulty after escaping. They were surprised to see Watson floating in the air.

They had never heard of Casey being able to fly. However, he was still able to survive a single attack from a platinum-tier marine warrior. That meant that Casey was not weak, so it was not surprising that he could fly.

“I can’t believe the good-for-nothing Casey, who only knows how to harm women, has such strength.”

More and more people raised their heads and imprinted that scene in their minds.

“Your Highness, let’s go!”

As he felt the hateful gazes from all directions, Owen knew that his plan busted. He snapped back to his senses and carried Alice on his shoulders. Then, he rushed out of the Crystal Palace.

“The sea folks want to leave. Stop them, quickly!”

Silver and gold-tier elites rose into the air. Since many rich and powerful people had gathered in the Crystal Palace, it was impossible for those people to go out without their bodyguards. When the entire Crystal Palace was underwater, all the bodyguards did their best to protect their master. They had no time to care about anything else. Then, the seawater had disappeared, and those people did not have the same worries.

Thousands of people flew in the sky. Countless combat aura attacks and spells landed beside Owen, causing the sky to explode with brilliant fireworks.

It was not a big deal for Owen; he was not affected by those explosions. However, the three mermaids with him, Elena, Bella, and Rose, were in a terrible situation. The gold-tier women were covered in blood from the explosions, and they were on the verge of collapse.

“D*mn it.”

After the first few thousand people, more people appeared from the Crystal Palace. Some of them even came from the passage outside the Crystal Palace. Owen cursed in his heart; he looked anxious.

The longer he dragged it out, the lower chance he would get to escape. It was a joke if a platinum-tier elite went on a rescue mission and died doing that.

“It’s all because of that person’s magic.”

Owen looked downward. Then, he realized that Watson had disappeared. He narrowed his eyes. At that moment, a cold voice suddenly came from above his head.

“You attacked me just now, and now it’s my turn! Platinum-tier combat technique, Simplified Invincible Punch!”

Owen turned his head and noticed that Watson had somehow appeared above his head. His left hand reached out to grab his collar and threw him into the sky. Then, Watson’s fist enlarged in his eyes.

That fist was wrapped in bandages, but in an instant, the bandages had unraveled. The bandages and the rest of the world had disappeared from Owen’s eyesight. In an instant, he could only see a bruised fist. He did not think he could dodge it. Even his screams were suppressed in his throat, unable to be transmitted outward.

Boom!

A muffled explosion burst. Owen, Alice, Elena, and the others nearby were sent flying like mosquitoes. They spun and flew into the sky, directly smashing a fist-shaped hole that stretched for hundreds of meters into the Crystal Palace’s dome. That punch even penetrated the floating city’s surface, allowing people to see the blue sky through the hole.

“A punch that sent a platinum-tier sea folk flying—that’s Young Master Casey!”

Countless people in the Crystal Palace saw the figure in the sky. Their jaws were wide open, enough to fit an egg. Even the silver-tier and gold-tier elites surrounding and intercepting him gave up on pursuing him at that moment. They were staring at Watson with complicated expressions on their faces.

Casey could defeat an elite that none of them could even catch. They had called him useless, but could they even say the same thing after that?

Splash.

Just as everyone was stunned by Watson’s punch, the sound of boiling water suddenly came from the hole above their heads. A waterfall-like turbulent flow swirled down the hole and began to pour into the Crystal Palace. Since the protective shield from the sea god’s Trident was outside of Crystal Palace, the attack had pierced through it. Seawater had started to pour again.

“Run!”

“Don’t bother about those sea creatures anymore. Go back and protect Master.”

The people on the streets became chaotic and began to move along the passage toward the floating city. The elites in the sky also flew back to their masters.

Watson stood in the air and lowered his head. His eyes fell on the hundreds of slaves who were trembling on the ground. He had punched them on purpose. Of course, he did not use any force; he only wanted to send Owen and the others away. Of course, it would not be easy to take his punch. It was Owen’s fault for attacking him so rashly.

“After sending all the sea folks away, it will be those slaves’ turn. It’s not enough to just send them away.”

Watson smirked as he observed the slaves, some of whom had shackles around their wrists and ankles, emerging from the rumored underground location. He intended to use that as an excuse to free all the slaves in the Crystal Palace.
