Chapter 1502: Water Tower
Chapter 1502: Water Tower
Philip looked at the bustling shore and took a deep breath of the fresh salty wind of the sea.
"Activate the camouflage."
He spoke in the communication token. Within a few minutes, the carrier and Philip disappeared from the spot as they merged with the rest of the water and the background.
Philip looked at the city constantly as watched a translucent barrier cover the whole carrier and him.
"So, are we really doing this now?"
Jack asked from the side.
"Why? You don't want to?"
"Why would I not want to? I just really want to see what this thing can do."
"Really? You are more excited about the water tower? I thought you would be more interested in the Blade serpent."
"Of course, I am interested in that. But I am really intrigued with what this water tower can do. I looked into the blueprints and even asked the artisans who made this. I don't know how effective it is going to be."
"Well, most of it is based on Sam's adventures in the Charbhum realm. I am also intrigued about what this could do."
"So, when are we starting it?"
"Right now."
Philip smiled and he spoke in the communication token.
"Activate the water tower."
After that, he threw the divine dimension fragment into the water. A few operators jumped into the water with diving equipment and flatfish puppets.
One of them picked up the divine dimension fragment and swam to the seabed.
After some time, a large blue coloured crystal tower appeared in the middle of the tree.
The tower looked like it was carved out of dark blue ice. As if a single piece of large ice block was sculpted carefully with a single by a single artisan.
Several vents opened at the bottom section of the tower as several vines that looked like tentacles came out of those ducts and entered the sea bed.
They dug smoothly as if they are just going through the butter. A large amount of water elemental energy started moving from the seafloor and the surrounding water into the tower body and it channelled throughout the whole tower constantly.
After fifteen minutes, a small blob of bright blue coloured energy appeared on top of the tower and floated away.
The blob moved into the water and floated for a while before it fell to the seafloor.
A Black rock sea turtle that was on the side swallowed the blob as soon as it saw it.
A blue glow appeared on its body before it fell asleep with its eye closed.
Another fifteen minutes later, another blob appeared on it before it fell into the seafloor. This time, there is no sea creature that came.
After two minutes, the blob is covered with another transparent water bubble which later turned into a bit thicker and darker. The surrounding soil moved away and a small water current circled around the blob continuously.
Within another fifteen minutes, the ball slowly turned into a large scale humanoid creature that is glowing and covered with a dark water layer over it.
The creature turned to the side and looked around for a while before it zoomed through the water.
It stopped on top of the turtle which opened its eyes. The eyes started glowing and there are some blue patterns on the back of the turtle that also started glowing.
The turtle and the weird blue creature started swimming towards the shore.
Philip who is standing on top of the carrier is looking into a large crystal screen that he held in his hand.
There are two blinking objects that could be clearly seen on them. One with a turtle symbol and the other with a humanoid symbol.
"So, why did we choose this place again? An operator said, there is a much large city a few hundred miles south from here."
"Well, this one has an estuary on the side. The river current connects to this and that river leads to another big city which is on the river bank.
We can take down two things as well as the river route all for ourselves."
Philip explained to Jack who is also looking at the tablet.
Jack proceeded to ask more questions about the tower and what it does as more and more spots kept on appearing one after the other.
At first, the process was slow and only one blob came out every fifteen minutes, but as time passed, the process started speeding up and before they knew it, one blob came out every five minutes.
The blobs hit the seafloor and some of them are consumed by other sea creatures, like crabs, turtles, sharks and fish.
But most of them are landing on the seafloor and started swimming towards the shore slowly.
After one hour, Philip and Jack stopped observing the tablet and took out their telescopes to take a look at the shore.
At this moment, near the shore. At the beach, the turtle that appeared first came straight out of the water.
The guards of the beach looked at the turtle and immediately made a move on it while alarming the rest of the people.
The turtle which should have been slow didn't have any of those qualities as it started moving toward the soldiers at a rapid pace.
It started attacking the guards without any regard for its life.
As two guards are about to attack the turtle, one of them suddenly had a large water spear dug into his back and died on the spot.
The water humanoid creature appeared from the water and stood on the beach.
It extended both of its hands and two water spears were formed out of the ocean water as they shot the second guard who had his hands pierced and the turtle came forward, bit off his head and swallowed it all in one smooth motion.
The humanoid water creature then aimed the water spears at the people that are relaxing on the beach and started attacking them indiscriminately.
The turtle also ran towards them to eat them up.
But by now the forces were alerted and they came to confront these creatures.
The leader of the soldiers looked at the weird water creature and the turtle with a frown.
"Isn't that a Black rock Sea turtle? Why is it glowing blue?" He muttered in confusion before he ran forward with a spear of his own.
He aimed it at the turtle first, while his subordinates went after the humanoid figure by themselves.
The humanoid water creature didn't even stand a chance when four to five of them surrounded it. It didn't even back down though.
It stayed on the sandy beach as it was surrounded and taken down by the guards as it couldn't attack back.
But the guards are having some serious confusion while they are attacking the creature. Their weapons and attacks directly went through the creature and it felt like they are stabbing and hitting a jelly.
The creature, on the other hand, started slowing down with more hits and the upper dark water layers were completely gone. As soon as the inner glowing part of the creature was exposed.
*BOOM*
An explosion happened from it and the whole glowing part of it exploded.
It turned into various droplets of glowing liquid that were splashed sharply in all directions. The guards who are standing fell backwards because of the aftereffect of the explosion and felt a burning sensation on their skin.
There are several small holes that looked like they are made of pin needles on their skin as some blood seeped out.
They tried to stand up and get back on their feet, but all of a sudden, they felt their whole body turning cold. The bleeding from the small pin-sized holes stopped and they felt their legs and arms turn heavy.
They stood up with all of their might as they felt the burning sensation on their bodies.
Meanwhile, the leader of the ground defeated the turtle, but before he could finish it off, it went back into the sea to the place where the tower was located.
As soon as it turned its back though, as the leader was trying to follow the sea turtle, he was stopped as ten more weird creatures made of blobs and water came out of the waves.
He was stunned by their sudden appearance.
They are followed by a bunch of crabs that came forward and started attacking.
"I could use some help guys."
The leader turned to his subordinates, who are trying their best to join the battle.
They took all kinds of medicine they could get their hands on and tried to focus on the battle.
They even managed to fend off one crab along with their boss and moved to some of the creatures.
But as they were about to make a move, one of them stopped in their tracks and fell off the ground face first.
