Chapter 239: Porpoises

Blaze city was ruined in just a single night and all the people in charge were dumbfounded by the letter.

He could see the formation and its level and even though he is not confident to understand it, he is confident that he can break it, but now that the magma is filling up inside the formation, he is having a hard time because just as what Sam said, the whole city has to be moved in order to control the loses and even then, the mine will be closed and rest of the farmers' lands will be ruined completely.

But would convincing the farmers be easy? Absolutely not. Evacuating the city, because the farmers are the citizens with lands, houses, and other property, they wouldn't leave it, when they knew that there is a chance that they can retain them.

So, all he can do is report the letter to the Duke.

Deputy General came to the Marquis city at the same time as the in charge of the Blaze city to the southern star city.

At this moment, both of them got news that surprised them and that is the General Spark was dead and there was nothing intact left of his remains, not even his bones and skull. The worst thing is that there is not even proper burial for those rotten remains as they are afraid that the Plague would increase and a pandemic will raise.

Deputy started his journey towards the southern star city to attend the funeral and this funeral is done in the most unnatural way.

And that is burning the whole house along with the remains.

But due to this delay of them delivering news something else happened.

Sam is moving towards the Indigo Sea city at that time and to get some reason, he wanted to get some new info and sneaked into a village.

And the news he received made his gaze grow cold, he didn't want to interrupt or involve the citizens too much but the Duke is involving the people who are acquainted with him. This is again pissing him off. He just wanted to fight against the authorities directly, but since the authorities want to involve the innocent, two can play this game.

All this while, he only damaged the property under the imperial authority and he made it so discreet and no commotion that not many people would know about it. The authorities can still make up some stories to save their faces.

But if the people really know that the supply of the herbs would be cut off, then there would certainly be commotion and many things change. Sam wanted to play a long game and he wanted to see a gradual growth in the commotion.

He never wanted to have an active part in increasing the commotion at all. But now that they want to change the rules of the game, he would love to play along.

Sam restarted his journey towards the Indigo sea city.

This time though, he changed his plan a little bit. Two days after he entered the premises of the Indigo sea city, which now doesn't have that its signature indigo sea, he entered the forest instead of the city and that forest beach and his three friends went on different ways to search for something.

As for Sam, he went dived into the city with the diving suit he made previously and started scouting the shallow waters.

The attack this time would be his biggest attack of all three he would be doing and this time, the results might not be as immediate as in two other cases, but this time, he would be doing something that would have the most impact on all the shores in this whole sea.

This time, his target is the spiritual stone mines of water elements that are near the shores and shallow waters of the three Count territories.

These mines are actually a way more important and prideful source because there are some wars with the enemy empire near that seashore. Even though there are not many transportation methods in water, the wars were very intense with flying type and water type beasts, and the most bloodshed was done here than the land borders.

Thus, four mines were under the Orion empire and two mines which are a bit far from the Orion empire are occupied by the enemy empire.

Underwater mining is a lot more complicated because essentially the number of underwater beasts is more near the mines when compared to the beasts of land near their respective mines.

The sea is one of the things that man could never fully conquer. It is the most dangerous thing after outer space. Even in his previous life, there was a lot of sea that was still unexplored.

And in this world where the technology related to the seas is limited it would be very difficult to do something in the sea.

Sam is also sure of one thing and that is the strongest existence of this planet at least in terms of beasts will definitely in the seas of this planet.

And coming back to the mines, there is a high level of danger and two mines of the four are attached to the shore and the authorities mine it from the land by isolating the shallow waters by the formations.

As for the other two, there are a bit far from the shore and are completely submerged.

In those mines, there was a complex structure of formations are created and many constructions are done with so much effort and they are done with the help of very high-level formation masters and the formation nodes are made by the very high-level artisans and Sam guessed that even the tower heads of the imperial capital.

The formations not only have to deal with the water pressure even though it is less, but it also is still not that small.

Apart from that, they have to see the attacks of the water type beasts all the time.

But the most important thing is that there is a great chance that there might be a high-level beast that might get attracted by the spiritual energy from the mines and attack.

The formations are made in such a way that they could buy enough time for the people inside to escape even if they are attacked by a very high- level beast.

Sam got all these details just by scouting for the next three days.

And he also noticed the reason for no high-level beast attacks, because the area is shallow for the truly bigger beasts to come here.

On the third day, the four of them gathered to share the information and Sam has one last thing to check.

"Get inside the dimension, we need to go deeper into the sea. Even though the waters at the indigo sea are deep, there is a reason for the rest of the beasts to not show up and now they just abandoned the area because of that.

But I have to see if there are any beasts near the vicinity and check their size to confirm my assumption if they are really avoiding the area because of the constraints made of the sea bed.

Or any other issues and I have to confirm which type of beast is the king here for the next step of our plan."

"Isn't it too dangerous?" Jack asked

"Well, I have an escape route, don't I?"

After that, Sam dove into the water again and after crossing all the areas where there is a slightest of the human activity, he entered the deeper regions of the water.

He took out Mia so that she would get some more exposure and freedom.

After they swan for more than a thousand meters, Sam noticed something on the sea bed.

The sea bed is filled with a type of crystalline structure. Sam dived deeper and crossed that crystalline structure and entered another region. But after going a few meters deeper, he and Mia sensed a very fearsome aura. This made their hearts grow numb and Sam instinctively walked back.

His beast bloodlines are acting upon instinct and even though he is confident that the beast is not a high bloodline species, it is a beast which is definitely a lot stronger than him, he didn't even feel this much trepidation from the emperor.

After some time, he saw that there was a school of fish coming towards them and he realized that they are not a school of fish but a shoal of porpoises.

He didn't immediately recognize what type of porpoises they are, but he did recognize they are far stronger and both of them turned their tails and swam back.

The porpoises followed him very fast and he felt as if he wouldn't make it, he let Mia into the dimension and was about to take the scroll, but he saw something that made him surprised, and then he noticed that the porpoises stopped their pursuit and turned back.

Sam noticed that this happened right at the line of the crystalline structure. He dove deeper into the sea and went near the crystalline structure and noticed that there are many crystalline structures like this and almost made a long wall on the sea bed.

Sam picked up a smaller crystal and he even tried to break some from the wall which was easily done.

He stored them inside the dimension and went back to the shore. Now, he has to look into what type of beast he was facing and how he can make use of them, and how does this crystalline structure help in achieving this goal.
