Chapter 532 Win-Win



Blake left the office and met up with his team, and just like him, they were not happy with the short interval between both missions but could only follow orders.

After making sure all necessary preparation was complete, Blake and his units used the teleportation array to warp to Coastville.

They immediately went to get briefed about the situation, before going outside to see things for themselves.

Coastville was the polar opposite of Sandhaven, but one thing they had in common was that they were located at the edges of the Synder empire.

Geographically, Coastville was situated on a peninsula that juts out into the Tribirus Ocean. The ocean borders the city on three sides, while 90 percent of the city was built on a range of hills that provided stunning views of the ocean.

"Thank the heavens it isn't bad as I thought." Blake said as he saw the thick dark clouds blocking the sun and the wild waves that could easily capsize boats.

"The good news is that although the waves are very dangerous, they aren't out of hand."

The waves were a no-go zone for normal people and normal boats, but with Hero level Aquamancers and Magically enhanced boats, they would be able to carry out what he had in mind.

After confirming everything was the same as the report given to him, he and his team all boarded Ash crop carriages that carried them to Coastville's most famous beach, Sunset Beach.

'At this point, it is safe to say that the heavens are sending me on missions to discover holiday spots.' Blake shook his head as he admired the beauty of the city.

Because of its location, Coastville was known for its mild climate, with temperatures rarely dropping below 50 degrees Fahrenheit even in the winter months. Also, the ocean breezes keep the air fresh and comfortable.

In terms of infrastructure, Coastville had a bustling downtown area with lots of shops, restaurants, and bars. There was also a large marina where boat owners could dock their vessels and enjoy the ocean.

'Hope this isn't something too complex. I just want to get over with it.' Blake let out a helpless sigh as he alighted from the carriage and walked into the sunset beach.

[Even with the clouds blocking the sky, it is still a sight to behold.] The system said as they took in the beauty of the beach.

The city is also known for its beaches, which drew tourists from all over the empire. Sunset Beach was the perfect place to catch the sun setting over the ocean, but no one would be seeing it unless they solved the case.

"Major Blake, the boats are ready for departure." The head of the investigation department of Coastville said to him.

"Hold on a bit, I still have to check some things." Blake said as he began moving around the beach while observing the ocean.

'The clouds only cover the ocean, so there is no doubt that this is the work of a beast. As for the size of the clouds and the massive range of effect, we are most likely dealing with an emperor-rank beast or multiple King rank beasts acting together.' Blake let out a helpless sigh

The more he analyzed the situation, the more helpless he felt. Not only did he already feel powerless in the ocean but even escaping would be 10 times more difficult.

After he was done with his observation and analysis, Blake left a spatial mark on the beach before hopping on the boat and moving away from the city.

Off the beaches of Coastville were magically enhanced walls located on the ocean floors. During beast tides or devastating waves, they would spring up equipped with shields and weapons, while the ash corps at the square would be warped to the top of the walls. 

Even though it had its flaws this mechanism made the inhabitants of Coastville feel safe and free at the same.

"Major, What next?" Michelle asked once they were past the city walls and officially in the ocean.

"Get ready to deploy the monitoring devices in the direction I instruct." Blake said as he activated the locator spell.

'Where are the safe paths for my boat to take?' Blake waited for a few seconds but the white trail did not appear at all.

'Are you shitting me?!' Blake's heart tightened.

[Ocean Tribirus is surely dangerous, especially with the wild waves. Try rephrasing the sentence.] The system said.

Hearing the words of the system, Blake quickly calmed down and retried the spell.

'Where are the most dangerous path for my boat to take?'

15 white trails that only he could see appeared on the water's surface and began moving farther into the ocean. 10 of the 15 trails converged to the right, while the other 5 were far away from each other.

'15… wow!' Blake was shocked.

Having no plans to move further, Blake set out multiple monitoring devices and instructed his team to use the water element to send them as far as possible in those directions.

"Now we wait." Blake said as he instructed the team to turn the boat around.

"Is that all?" The head of the investigation department asked with doubt written all over his face.

"Yes." Blake replied without giving any explanation.

He was well aware that they had done the same thing he just did, but the difference was that he used the locator spell and also secretly froze the space around the devices for extra protection.

'Is he for real?'

The investigation head had heard a lot about Blake's top-tier investigative skills, but from what he just saw he was disappointed and doubtful of his skills.

'Although the chances of finding the cause of the problem got higher; I am still not totally confident that it will work.' Blake said to himself not caring about what the others thought of him.

[If you discover the beast you will request for backup and leave the scene. If you don't you will also leave while another person takes over the case. Either way, you win.] The system said after analyzing the possible outcomes.
