Chapter 748: Expedition to Saiye Island

Chapter 748: Chapter 748: Expedition to Saiye Island

A flicker of excitement flashed in Aurora’s eyes. "That’s wonderful! Master, with the Sea Serpent God’s protection, we can continue to dominate this region of the sea!"

Although the three Great Mages didn’t know what methods Shu Feng had used to defeat the Sea Serpent God, they knew that the open ocean was the home turf of a colossal sea god like him.

Shu Feng said, "Go and prepare the ritual."

"Yes, Master!"

Will and the other two quickly withdrew.

Shu Feng said calmly, "Come out, High Priest Ibar!"

Ripples of light shone, and an old man dressed in the robes of a High Priest walked out from the nearby shadows. He stared intently at Shu Feng, a sinister look in his eyes.

This old man was none other than High Priest Ibar of the Sea Serpent God Church.

Shu Feng said indifferently, "High Priest Ibar, the Sea Serpent God has already sent down a divine decree. He and I are allies. You must do everything in your power to assist me in taking control of Blood Whale Island. You wouldn’t be thinking of defying a divine decree, would you?"

"Of course not. My Lord’s will is my mission. I will cooperate with you and assist you in taking control of Blood Whale Island."

A complicated expression flashed in High Priest Ibar’s eyes before he lowered his head and said respectfully.

High Priest Ibar hadn’t become the High Priest of the Sea Serpent God by being a fool. He also understood that no matter what kind of deal Shu Feng and the Sea Serpent God had made, the party that stood to gain the most was still the Sea Serpent God Church.

If the Sea Serpent God Church were to become Shu Feng’s enemy, it would eventually be wiped out by him over time. After all, Shu Feng was a terrifying Great Mage capable of fighting a Divine Spirit. In a world where might makes right, countless people would flock to his side.

Shu Feng said, "Rituals like blood sacrifices are abolished from this day forward. The title ’Sea Serpent God’ is also no good. Change it to the God of the Sea, wielder of oceans, storms, and lightning!"

High Priest Ibar’s brow twitched slightly, but he lowered his head and said respectfully, "Yes!"

A Divine Spirit like the Sea Serpent God rarely concerned himself with mortal affairs anyway. The various scriptures and doctrines were all compiled by Divine Servants like High Priest Ibar.

High Priest Ibar had no objection to Shu Feng’s abolishment of cruel rituals like blood sacrifices.

High Priest Ibar was highly respected on Blood Whale Island. His appearance immediately stabilized many of the volatile elements on the island.

Under High Priest Ibar’s direction, the three-day ritual was completed smoothly and without incident.

’Not bad. After the ritual was completed, the Sea Serpent God’s Power of Faith surged, and his Divine Power increased by a large margin. The only issue is that the consumption of resources was a bit too high!’

Shu Feng’s brow, which had been furrowed, relaxed as he looked over the various documents his subordinates brought him.

Such rituals burdened the people and drained resources; each one consumed a mountain of gold and a sea of silver. Therefore, they couldn’t possibly be held every day.

A smile touched Shu Feng’s lips as he saw the Sea Serpent God’s Divine Power recover. ’Time to make a move on the Bloodthirsty Octopus God!’

’However, with the Sea Serpent God’s current Divine Power reserves, he can’t sustain a protracted battle. I have to finish it quickly. A battle of attrition is not to our advantage.’

The Bloodthirsty Octopus God was also a terrifying monster that had survived for tens of thousands of years. Who knew how much Divine Power it had accumulated over that vast expanse of time.

After the Sea Serpent God had fallen, more than half of his Divine Power reserves had been depleted. The Divine Power he had just recovered was only enough for him to engage in one short battle.

Saiye Island was a large island with a diameter of one thousand kilometers, located deep within the Molun Islands. Millions of natives lived on Saiye Island, and the Divine Spirit they worshiped was the Bloodthirsty Octopus God.

One day, twenty warships appeared in the waters off the coast of Saiye Island.

WHOO~~!!

The moment the warships appeared, the loud, piercing sound of a horn spread out in all directions.

’These natives are really vigilant!’

Shu Feng stood on the deck of a warship, a flicker of surprise in his eyes.

Will said, "Master, slave traders from the Engman Empire often send Slave Capture Corps deep into the Molun Islands to hunt for slaves. Although Saiye Island is located deep within the Molun Islands, after suffering several major losses, they’ve also begun to establish their own defense system."

A magnificent drumbeat sounded, and a cavalry unit of three thousand men galloped out from Saiye Island.

The three thousand cavalrymen were stalwart men, tall and built with knotted muscles and wheat-colored skin. Their mounts were giant wolves with long, black fur.

The moment the giant wolves set foot on the sea’s surface, a faint black light appeared beneath their paws. They carried the three thousand natives, galloping across the water toward the twenty warships.

A sharp glint flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes. ’Giant wolves that can gallop on the sea.’

Will said, "Those are Sea-Crossing Demon Wolves! According to legend, they are descendants of the Sea-flipping Wolf God, the seventh son of the ancient Wolf God! They can walk freely on the sea and can cast Magic like Ice Cone and Water Arrow Skill. Their strength is about that of a Tier One Demon."

A Tier One Demon is a Demon that can cast First-tier Magic. Their combat power is weaker than that of a First Tier Mage. However, three thousand Tier One Demons joining forces would be a handful even for a Mage of the Great Mage Level.

Shu Feng said coolly, "Take them out!"

"Yes!"

At Will’s command, the Mages aboard the twenty warships attacked one after another, blasting all sorts of Magic directly at the Sea-Crossing Demon Wolves.

One by one, the Sea-Crossing Demon Wolves were blasted to death by Fireballs, Water Arrows, Wind Blades, and Ice Cones.

The Sea-Crossing Demon Wolves also shot out spells like Ice Cones and Water Arrows, trading volleys with the Mages on the warships.

The Pirate Mages had all mastered the Magic Shield spell. The shields gave them tremendous protection, preventing them from being killed instantly.

From the warships, countless Arrows shot out like shooting stars, picking off the natives on the backs of the Sea-Crossing Demon Wolves one by one.

Seeing the situation turning against them, the natives leaped into the sea, intending to bore through the ships’ hulls.

From the warships, many pirates, enhanced by magic, also jumped down.

The two sides fought fiercely in the sea, and traces of blood continuously stained the surface of the water.

"Water Jet!"

Will chanted an incantation, and from the great sea, countless jets of water shot out like machine-gun fire, strafing the Sea-Crossing Demon Wolves.

The Sea-Crossing Demon Wolves were riddled with holes and became corpses that sank into the water.

The other two Great Mages also cast various types of Water Magic, blasting the Sea-Crossing Demon Wolves to death.

A look of satisfaction flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes. ’Not bad. I don’t even need to make a move myself. They can crush these natives on their own!’

Under the assault of various strange and powerful Magic cast by Will and the other two Great Mages, the three thousand native wolf cavalry were quickly annihilated.

The massive fleet began to rapidly approach the shore to make a landing.
