Chapter 978 Underwater Slaughter

Chapter 978 Underwater Slaughter

Seeing the sea of zombified faces below, Draco and Dreary Traveler froze. The others soon noticed their strange behavior and looked down, and they too felt like they had seen something they could never erase from their minds.

Even worse was the fact that the zombies did not care for their feelings one bit. They roared - yes, underwater - and rushed upwards, attacking every sea monster around by ripping its flesh apart and eating it alive while the monster wailed in unspeakable agony.

Seeing the huge swarm of them, even the caster, Omega Raider, was speechless. No, this was strange and it shouldn't be like this. He had used this skill before while raising his class to the current level, and it definitely did not yield such an outcome.

Eva waved a hand and dragged one zombie over. It struggled weakly, but when it stared Eva in the eye, it was filled with utter fear before finally entering into a weak daze.

Eva then tossed it downwards after scouring its mind for whatever information she could, her lips pursed with slight dissatisfaction. She nodded to Draco and Shuangtian, who understood what the reason for this was due to their link with Eva.

Well, the seas of Boundless were different from the seas of earth, in that not only was the human population greater, but the monster and fish population was even higher.

Despite knowing that it was unsafe to traverse the seas, that hadn't stopped hundreds of billions of fellows who thought they were God's Chosen one from trying. Naturally, they died as dogs like the rest, leading to them forming a wave of bodies under the sea that was even more numerous than the monster density.

Hence, the current outcome.

Funny enough, the zombies were fighting fiercely due to their remnant hatred for the water monsters. After all, who else caused them to sink and devoured them alive while they were screaming in fear? Now, it was time to payback the debt.

Seeing that the situation was largely handled, Draco gestured to the core members and they began to move forward with the mini-sun above them following them slowly.

As such, more monsters were dragged over who were then slaughtered by the zombies and turned into experience for the entire group, who had obviously formed a guild party.

The skill only lasted for 2 hours, but it was enough to keep them free of worry at they moved forward. The Primordial Kun Peng had long disappeared as its duration was only 10 minutes, but it had done enough damage.

Draco turned to Shuangtian, who nodded. She clapped her hands and spawned 50 water golems who immediately spread out in all directions like arrows, easily using Aquakinesis to move through the sea like bullets.

The Water Golems were a menace to the sea monsters, and mostly just tore them apart using sheer movement force, only stopping to fight some relatively powerful ones as they went along.

The experience points of the core members rose rapidly, especially when the surrounding Rank 5 and Rank 6 sea monsters were killed. They had yet to encounter a Rank 7 one, and that was not likely given their location.

Even if they were in the Unmapped Zone and underwater, it didn't mean Rank 7s could pop up like rubbish. This represented the highest tier in the mortal world, so it had to be given respect.

At this time, Draco waved his hand and released two fellows from a portal. Clarent and Qiong Qi came out, bruised and battered, looking like they had been beaten to near death and brought back.

"Brother Draco!!! *sob* *sob* *sob* how long are you going to beat us like this? We are your brothers through thick and thin, and we only made a little mistake! Is it right to do this?!" Clarent sobbed pitifully.

"Sigh, you can even kill me if you want, but my dear Brother, I just want to hear you say that you still care about us the way we care about you. That is enough for me to survive this horrible torment…" Qiong Qi muttered weakly, giving off an aura of abandonment and despair.

Draco's face changed greatly as these fellows spoke. He initially brought them out to have some fun torturing them, but their words directly painted him as an unreasonable bastard who treats his brothers like dogs!

The core members behind were looking over with strange looks, giving Qiong Qi and Clarent pitiful glances while they refrained from looking at Draco, lest they judge him.

SHAMELESS! Draco roared in his heart, seeing that Clarent and Qiong Qi were snickering under their breath.

Eva rolled her eyes while Shuangtian giggled at Draco's predicament, and the fellows face became gloomy. He glared at the two hooligans who glared back fearlessly, then sighed with defeat.

Eva pointed at them and healed their injuries with ease, sending them into perfect shape. Feeling brand new and unharmed, the two fellows cried out with joy and relief, and immediately began to mock Draco cruelly.

"Hahaha, look at this fellow! He lost his ship and is now swimming like a fish! Bwahahaha!" Clarent roared with laughter while pointing at Draco's nose.

"What are you gonna do next loser, spawn a fish tail and swim majestically to some Disney tunes?" Qiong Qi added while clutching his stomach and thrashing about while laughing.

The core members pff-ed and looked away, not daring to laugh, but a few had no scruples like RamButt who swam over and joined the group in laughing at Draco in the face.

Eva and Shuangtian also didn't need to hold back and laughed freely, all the while Draco's face changed multiple colors, from red, to purple, to green, to black.

"COURTING DEATH!!!" He roared with madness, condensing a giant fist made of energy to smash the fellows into meatpaste.

Their laughter immediately cut off as the screamed and fled, begging for mercy. However, they were all smashed into the depths of the sea floor by this fist, their life and death unknown.

"No one save them, they will find their way back." Draco commanded with cruelty on his face.

The core members rolled their eyes. Who would put in effort to save those three fellows who were clearly courting death?

Soon, the group came upon a small underwater village that was made of plants, bones and some sea monster hide. It was clearly rural and very disjoint, but there were many houses here and there.

The denizens of the village had long noticed Draco;s group, what with water golems spreading out murdering everything and a giant white ball of light that illuminated hundreds of thousands of kilometers under the sea above them.<.com>

Draco looked down and saw that it was a village of Murlocs, a sport pf half fish, half frog race that could either be cute or damn ugly depending on how they're portrayed in Western Fantasy.

Luckily for this group, they were the relatively cute type that looked more like silly little frogs than the type that looked like ugly murderous fish. As such, Eva's aesthetic was not wrongly triggered, sparing them a racial genocide.

The Murlocs came out of their houses to watch the more members, and the group swam down into the village, heading towards the center where an old murloc wearing monster hide and holding a staff stood.

Behind him were some buff Murlocs wielding spears, only covered by loin cloth like attires for their lover body.

?Name: Murloc Warrior – Sergeant Rank monster

Level: 100

HP: 4,000,000/4,000,000?

?Name: Murloc Chieftain – Captain Rank monster

Level: 120

HP: 8,000,000/8,000,000?

The leader of the Murlocs was this chieftain fellow and he bowed to the group of core members respectfully when they landed before him.

"Greetings, visitors from afar. My name is M'bunga, and I am the chieftain of this Murloc tribe, the Warrangas. If there is anything you need, please let me know and I will do my best to assist you." The Chieftain spoke, directly into the minds of everyone.

This surprised Draco, Eva and Shuangtian, but they didn't show it. Rather, they used the same method to 'speak' to the core members and the entire Murloc race, also linking their core members to the others so they could use this method of speech if they did not have the ability.

"Greetings to you too, we are members of the Immortal Adventurer guild, Umbra and we seek directions to the Kingdom of the Undersea." Draco asked with his hands behind his back.

The Murloc chieftain was surprised, but nodded and was about to answer when he and his entire clan froze strangely. They looked like they were receiving some sort of influx mentally, and Draco knew that this was the AI 'updating' ignorant NPCs about the basics of what an immortal Adventurer was.

When they returned to their senses, their attitude towards the group was filled with more fear and reverence, and some directly ran back into their houses. Against foes who could endlessly come back to life, and were powerful to boot, you'd best not offend them!

The Murloc Chieftain felt sweat form on his brow despite being underwater and smiled gently.

"We are honored by your presence. The Kingdom of the Undersea is exactly 6,000 kilometers to the north, not very far. But I would like to state that the Kingdom has been in turmoil recently due to the kidnapping of the Mermaid Princess, so it might not be easy to enter as guests."

Draco nodded and thanked the Murloc chieftain before leaving with the core members group, taking their sun away. As they watched them leave, the Murlocs couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, and then wonder.

Would the Kingdom of the Undersea be really fine?

Of course, this question had nothing to do with Draco and co. After they left the area of the Murloc village, they passed by many such establishments on their way, but their movement speed was not fast enough for the groups liking.

After all, 6,000 kilometers was a super long distance. Their ship could have previously crossed that distance in a short while, but thanks to Rambutt, it was gone for good.

Luckily, Shuangtian gave them an alternative by generating more Water golems, and having the core members sit on the back of them as they blasted through the water.

With the ability to use Control to create a physical domain, they were not bothered by the water pressure from moving so fast, as it slid of their 'shields' easily.

Along the way, they saw more and more settlements with different marine tribes that were sentient, and even saw towns and cities along the way that was full of prosperity and joy.

However, these towns and cities were alarmed by the giant sun and the group of water golems radiating enough power to one shot their entire homes that they cowered in fear.

Their defenders and soldiers didn't even dare to rush out and question this group, for really, who would dare?

Eva reduced the size of her sun as from the moment they arrived around the Murloc village, they noticed that they possessed their own lighting systems. After all, they couldn't live in the dark, now could they?

By the time they reached the gigantic walls of what should be the Kingdom of the Undersea, they noticed that it was literally no different from how Atlantis was portrayed in fictional media.

Mermen and mermaids, warriors holding tridents, men and women in toga like attire, buildings made of coral and high technology, especially magitech, etc.

The entire feel was like being thrown into a blockbuster Aquaman movie.

The core members came to a stop at the top of the walls of the kingdom, waiting for someone to come and receive them. After all, they didn't come here to fight, and while they came with their power unveiled for a deterrent and intimidating effect, that was just to smoothen what came next.
