Chapter 837: City on the Water

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

When Glorfindel was hit by the tentacle, the pain was as unforgettable as the childhood memory of falling face-first onto a rock from a tree!

His vision went black with sudden dizziness and he almost lost his consciousness due to the pain. Fortunately, he had a strong willpower, and he forced himself to use his signature skill: 'Twilight Cross Slash'!

As he vanished and reappeared again in front of the terrifying tentacle, he furiously slashed out. The destructive X-mark once again showed up in the air!

Glorfindel's 'Twilight Cross Slash' used the power of space-time, so anywhere it cut would be severed from the current dimension. It's an unstoppable force that can cut through anything!

But! The tentacle belonged to a formidable creature that can travel between realms purely relying on the fearsome strength of its body. Even the terrifying dimensional vortexes connecting different dimensions could do nothing to it, let alone the temporary dimensional crack created by Glorfindel's skill.

The Elves watched on in surprise as the 'Twilight Cross Slash' emerged, reached its climax, and dispersed back into nothingness after passing through the tentacle, yet the tentacle still towered majestically over the water as if it was ridiculing Glorfindel!

Glorfindel looked at the tentacle in disbelief. He suddenly roared and flashed a few times, throwing out 3 continuous 'Twilight Cross Slashes' which hit the tentacle almost at the same time!

This was Glorfindel's strongest attack!

Unfortunately, it was futile. It didn't matter if he threw out ten, a hundred, or a thousand 'Twilight Cross Slashes', it looked like they would all be futile.

Glorfindel's heart rapidly sank.

He suddenly realised the source of his unease. It was this creature in front of him whose strength felt as deep as the vast ocean!

At the same time, he also realised how foolish it was to fight this damned creature in water.

Glorfindel has encountered many situations that were more dangerous than this throughout his life, so he abandoned his pride and did what he do best - running away.

Just like when he attacked, he disappeared in a flash. The other Elves on the water fortress held their breath in anticipation of the attack he would launch next. But contrary to their expectation, when he popped up again, he was already more than 500 meters away, escaping like a dog with its tail between its legs!

"Did Lord Glorfindel just….run away?" a young Elvish girl that was rooted to the spot asked hesitantly.

Her voice was as soft as a whisper, but it caused a huge wave among the Elves on the fortress!

They watched in horror as the black tentacle stabbed forward menacingly the moment that Glorfindel once again vanished into thin air.

The tentacle bizarrely vanished just like Glorfindel did. Evidently, the owner of the tentacle had a grasp on dimensional power that was no weaker than Glorfindel's.

A lot of Elves on the fortress found it difficult to breathe. Only now did they recognise that even though Lady Melody's Protector, the human called Seaman, wasn't that strong himself, but the behemoth he summoned under the water was a hundred times stronger than what they imagined!

The strength was overwhelming enough to crush all conspiracies and selfish intentions!

The colossal tentacle's speed was astonishing when it stabbed out, but it was considerably slow in retracting back. All throughout the retracting process, the huge suckers on it kept wriggling and sucking on the energy leaked out by the dimensional rifts. The tentacle was finally pulled back after quite some time. It's tip was curled up.

Grasped in the tentacle was the great Twilight Elf, Glorfindel! His face was full of disbelief as he roared helplessly. His signature golden hair was currently wet and pushed flat against his head, losing its lustre. He cut a pathetic figure.

The water fortress approached Glorfindel under Sheyan's order.

Sheyan wanted to let all the Elves take a closer look at Glorfindel. The same proud, untouchable Glorfindel who now looked like a beaten dog in the hands of their Holy Beast guardians.

Presented at such a sight, the images of the Ocean-freak of Moria and Paul as strong "Holy Beasts" would undoubtedly be established in their hearts, while the image of Glorfindel would simultaneously take a nosedive! Sheyan wanted to climb up by stepping on Glorfindel's head!

Glorfindel was so humiliated that he would have prefer death. He howled in anger and tried in vain to struggle free while hurling a string of curses at Melody.

Melody didn't care, but Sheyan's expression turned dark. He said with a sneer, "Mr. Glorfindel, I chose to pardon you when you threatened to hang me from a tree. Yet you repaid my generosity by sullying Lady Melody Sunstrider with such filthy words. She may forgive you out of kindness, but as her Protector, I'm not so patient!"

Sheyan waved his hand and Paul's scary giant tentacle tightened a little. Glorfindel's shouts were abruptly stifled. He felt such tremendous pressure on his chest that even breathing became a luxury, let alone shouting. Not long after, his whole body started shaking due to a lack of oxygen.

To make things worse, the suckers on Paul's tentacles sucked hard at that moment. They completely absorbed the rest of the MPs in his body that he had secretly retained, thus totally denying him the opportunity to launch a suicidal attack!

The difference in strength between Glorfindel and Paul weren't actually that wide. However, Glorfindel made a fatal mistake, and that was to fight an aquatic creature in water! Paul's strength directly increased by a rank in water.

In addition to that, being the summoned creature of Davy Jones, Paul was naturally very familiar with dimensional magic.

Glorfindel's dimensional power was child's play in front of Paul. If Glorfindel had used divine arts of nature against Paul, the effect would have been much better.

After displaying Glorfindel's pathetic figure to all the Elves present, Sheyan asked Paul to let Glorfindel down. Glorfindel was delighted to hear the order. He knew that as long as he could free himself from the terrifying tentacle, his chance to escape would significantly increase.

Paul revealed its magnificent body to the Elves upon receiving the order, sending huge waves to the surrounding area. Instead of immediately letting Glorfindel free, it first sprayed Glorfindel's whole body with ink. It didn't look like much to other people, but Paul's ink was definitely not that simple.

Glorfindel instantly screamed in agony. The ink seeped into every orifice on his body as if they had a life of their own, completely paralysing him. Only now did Paul loosen his tentacle to drop Glorfindel onto the deck of the battle fortress. Glorfindel's only reaction was to convulse involuntarily on the deck.

At a wave of Sheyan's hand, a few Elves brought out Paul's favourite delicacy - some cleaned cows - and threw them into the lake. Paul happily ate a few of them before burping in satisfaction. Then, it swung its tentacles to bring back a couple of cows for the injured Ocean-freak of Moria.

The water battle fortress had achieved its objective for the day. Under the lead of the shark whale, it circled around to return whence it came. After crossing the whole lake, they once again arrived at the pine forest where Sheyan and Reef had once traversed. This was the place where Sheyan first found the eggs of the Ocean-freak of Moria, and the valley behind the pine forest was where Reef separated from Sheyan after being hypnotised.

The place looked entirely different now. The pine trees were completely gone; in their place were a kind of giant trees that grow in water called Seaforest Trees. Sheyan and co. found the seeds of these trees from the stock of Rivendell. With their ample supply of energy crystals, it took less than 3 days for the seeds to mature into a magnificent forest on water.

The Seaforest Trees had taken root on the wetland with their trunks at least 5 meters above the water surface. The abundant branches of the Seaforest Trees weaved together with parasitic vines living on the trees to form the platform for the 2nd level of the forest. At the very top of the Seaforest Trees, viewing platforms and residences were inter-connected with vines and vine ladders.

The Seaforest Trees have different heights, so the whole city in the air had an uneven beauty to it.
