Chapter 518: Crossing the Uncrossable Sea

Even a heavenly died in the Uncrossable Sea. What more for an ancient king like Tiresh Abhold? Surely she would die with just a swipe of the enemies' fingers.

Tiresh Abhold glared daggers at Jin Rou after hitting her spot. She knew it too very well but did Jin Rou really need to slap it that she would be helpless without him during the crossing?

"I'm still coming, nevertheless." Tiresh Abhold said firmly. It was an ironic statement after all the talking about how dangerous the sea was and whatnot.

"Since it is a favor, I will naturally grant it. However, don't expect me to save you when you get into crisis. I don't want an extra baggage who cannot listen to my orders." Jin Rou said. He didn't want additional trouble and loose ends during the expedition, so he warned her.

"I am a trained knight, so I won't be." Tiresh Abhold harrumphed, clearly still dissatisfied with Jin Rou.

"Thank you for granting this old man's wish, young man." Drak said with sincerity. He knew that he couldn't stop Tiresh, so he wanted someone to accompany her there. Although Jin Rou said that he wouldn't protect Tiresh, he could feel it that if time really came to that, he would save her.

"It's nothing much. You don't have to thank me." Jin Rou shook his head.

The old man and Jin Rou talked for several hours about the dao until the midnight comes, when Jin Rou was about to depart.

Jin Rou and Tiresh were already by the shore with Drak by the back. The waves were strong enough to destroy houses but the kingdom's walls were sturdy enough to withstand it, so the people inside were safe.

Each wave make the earth tremble as if a tsunami was coming their way.

"Whoosh!" And soon, the big sea that seemed to be inseparable was split into two slowly but surely.

"The Uncrossable Sea is splitting, you can cross it now." Drak said as he saw the big sea being halved, "Please take care Lady Tiresh. Please come back alive."

For Drak, in all honesty, the revenge agenda of Tiresh Abhold was petty. After all, it was obvious that her brother would die there after being warned for so many times. It was a natural course of action. After all, it was her brother's choice, so there was no one to blame. However, Drak couldn't say this to her upfront and destroy her will. It was her choice, to begin with. No one urged her to do this.

"Of course, I will come back alive." Tiresh Abhold smiled a little. Even she didn't know if she could return alive. But, she couldn't say it.

Since it was already midnight, there was no one to watch them depart. However, there were a few eyes that were watching them.

"We will go now." Jin Rou didn't want to waste time as he stepped on the sea, "Take care, Drak."

"Take care." Drak smiled as he watched the two people's backs slowly disappearing in a distance. Perhaps it would be the last time he would see these two, but he was still praying for their safe journey.

Jin Rou and Tiresh Abhold were walking by the land of the separated sea. In both sides, they could clearly see school of fishes with different kinds. It was beautiful to look at and it appeared very peaceful.

But Tiresh Abhold was on her guard. This was the Uncrossable Sea, where the dark existences lurk who killed so many emperors in the past.

"Can you please ease up?" Jin Rou sighed and said, "You look so tensed as if you're going to battle anytime soon. Can you relax for a while? I'm here, so what can possibly happen to you?"

"How can I trust you?" Tiresh Abhold shot a cold look at Jin Rou, "Besides, even heavenlies were helpless against this place. What more can you do?"

"You think I'm crossing this sea so that you will have a partner on your suicide trip?" Jin Rou laughed, "It is too early for me to die yet. I'm still young, and I still have so many things to do with my life. There is no chance I'm going to die here."

"So you're confident in crossing this sea?" Tiresh Abhold asked filled with doubt.

"Of course, I'm the type of person that will never do something if it will jeopardize my safety. So I'm going to cross this place without a doubt. Those darkness, they can come at me anytime. It has been a while since I massacred existences of their race." Jin Rou said with a smirk. He was really looking forward of when he meet the darkness.

"You're insane." Of course, Tiresh Abhold didn't believe him and just branded him as a crazy guy.

Jin Rou didn't mind this comment. She could think he was crazy all he wanted. Later on, he would just certainly believe him anyways.

It was said that the first day would be very peaceful during the crossing. And it was true. Jin Rou didn't encounter enemies here and could enjoy the sceneries all day long. The fishes were fun to look at as he slowly walked. He would only cross this sea once, so he wanted to seize every opportunity to enjoy it. The knight woman with him also eased up a bit. She couldn't be tensed up for so long as it would affect her greatly later.

On the second day, it was still rather peaceful. According to the records, the second day has a 50-50 chance of encountering enemies, depending on one's luck. However fortunately, it looked like it would be another peaceful day again for the two. It was a good start for crossing the sea. But they knew that the darkness would come soon. So Tiresh Abhold was preparing herself.

And on the third day, the clouds were gray enough to feel the heavy atmosphere of the place. Constantly thunderstorms could be heard as it strike towards the sea.

Jin Rou looked up at the dark sky and smiled, "Finally, you appeared."
