Chapter 246 Chapter244-Another Continent

"Huff~ Huff~"

"I feel like I'm going to throw up. That was genuinely the most nauseating Teleportation Magic Circle I've ever experienced. Such a Magic Circle should be destroyed, submerged beneath the waves..." Quel rambled on, his hand gripping a stone, his body in the throes of retching.

Ethan wasn't faring much better. "Enough, Quel. At the very least, we made it," Ethan remarked, his face ashen.

Of the trio, Kadiven was in the best shape.

He displayed no signs of discomfort and seemed, in fact, quite content.

When the gazes of Ethan and Quel turned to him, Kadiven remained silent.

He merely pointed to himself, hinting at his unique Bloodline that rendered him immune to the effects of such a large Teleportation Magic Circle.

"Quel, can you tell? Where are we?" After a short reprieve, Ethan posed the question to Quel.

Their current location was a beach, littered with countless rocks.

Beyond the rocky shoreline stretched an endless grove of palm trees.

However, the coconuts on these trees each bore a distinct color. At a glance, it looked like a pixelated strip, giving off an eerie vibe.

"This must be Rainbow Coconut Island of the Westwood Continent," Quel observed.

Pointing at the array of coconuts, he elaborated, "These rainbow coconuts, each bearing fruit of a different hue, serve as ingredients for concoctions. The red ones have hemostatic properties, the blue ones can replenish a smidgen of mana, the purple ones are fatigue relievers, and the green ones... well, they're for quenching thirst. Oh, and you might want to be cautious with the pink ones. Consuming them might lead to some rather... unfavorable effects. They could induce peculiar transformations in one's body."

Quel provided an intricate rundown on the rainbow coconuts.

Intrigued, Ethan couldn't resist asking, "How come you're so well-acquainted with these?"

Quel chuckled, "Well," he said, scratching the back of his head, "I guess I've read quite a few books on the subject."

It was a transparent evasion, but Ethan chose not to call it out.

A suspicion brewed within him.

Perhaps Quel hailed from the Westwood Continent.

As for how and why he had ended up on the Eastern Shore, Ethan surmised that there lay a lengthy and intricate tale behind it.

"Something feels off here," Quel remarked, a hint of concern lining his features.

Ethan glanced in his direction, querying, "What's amiss?"

Quel elaborated, "Rainbow coconuts are relatively rare in Westwood Continent. The locals wouldn't let them linger on the trees. They're plucked almost as soon as they mature. But, just look around. Those trees are laden with fruit. And, have you noticed? Isn't it eerily quiet here?"

Heeding Quel's observation, Ethan and Kadiven became acutely aware of their surroundings.

They were on a beach, its shallow waters ideal for fishing, and amidst them stood trees bearing the valuable rainbow coconuts.

Such a bountiful location should have been bustling with life.

Yet, there was no sign of human habitation, no trace of any dwellings.

It was unsettlingly abnormal.

"We're not alone. There's danger here," Ethan pronounced, his posture shifting to a defensive stance.

And as his words faded, the peril emerged.

The ground beneath them trembled as massive boulders shattered, releasing colossal crabs that crawled forth.

Brandishing their gigantic claws, they encircled the trio, ready to strike.

"Just a bunch of crabs," Quel chuckled, making the first move, seemingly unconcerned by their menacing presence.

Despite the sheer size of the crabs, each spanning two to three meters wide, Quel seemed unfazed.

Twin blades, forged from gleaming metal, materialized in his hands, one in each.

Swinging them with finesse, he lunged at one of the colossal crustaceans.

Clang, clang, clang...

The resonating clangs of metal striking chitin filled the air.

The assaulted crab, under the force of the blows, reeled, its eight sturdy legs flailing.

Yet, its hard exterior bore only a few superficial scratches. In other words, Quel's onslaught had failed to penetrate its defense.

"How can this be? What kind of creature is this?" Quel exclaimed, visibly taken aback.

Among the members of the Devil Guild, his prowess was renowned.

Especially with the Dark Knight Bloodline coursing through him, it elevated his combat skills, even though his primary class was that of a magus.

"In that case, let's try this."

Quel conjured another fireball, hurling it directly at the crab.

Yet, as it approached, a strange pattern glowed on the crab's sturdy shell, causing the fireball to disintegrate mid-flight, leaving Quel utterly dumbstruck.

"It has a means to nullify magic," Ethan deduced, swiftly drawing the Blasphemous Spear.

This lance, cultivated over time under Ethan's care, now bore additional traits, its power magnified manifold.

[Blasphemous Spear]

[Level: Divine Artifact (Sealed)]

[Characteristics:]

[Bloodthirst: Upon slaying a monster, it can transform the creature into energy for absorption.]

[Slash: A chance to bypass an enemy's defense.]

[Demolition: Wounds inflicted upon enemies cannot heal.]

[Description: A spear of divine artifact quality. However, due to the forger's less than impeccable craftsmanship, its quality was diminished, but this gave it a tremendous potential for growth. When the seal on the spear is finally broken, it might shake the very foundations of the world.]

Drawing his spear, Ethan immediately launched an attack on one of the crab creatures.

Clang!

A crisp clash rang out, sending the targeted crab monster flying, yet its shell remained undamaged.

Ethan's expression grew grave, sensing the gravity of the situation.

"How can this creature possess such formidable defense? This is highly unusual," Ethan remarked.

Quel nodded in agreement.

Kadiven stepped forward, not uttering a word, but pointed to the peculiar rune on the crab's shell.

Ethan had noticed it too.

However, he couldn't discern anything special from it.

It wasn't any Language of Nature rune, but seemed merely like a common magic rune.

"Hold on, let me try again," Ethan said, his eyes taking on an eerie green hue.

Eye of Alchemy activated!

The Eye of Alchemy had the ability to analyze, and Ethan often practiced with it during his downtime. He had now managed to gain rudimentary control over it, ensuring that he wouldn't unintentionally dissect everything he saw.

Ethan fixed his gaze on one of the crab creatures, and information swiftly surfaced.

[Gigantic Mountain Crab]

[Description: A crab blessed by the God of Mountains, boasting immense defensive capabilities. Naturally, its strength is also not to be underestimated. Furthermore, its meat is exceptionally delicious, with its roe being a rich source of vitality... Its shell can be crafted into armor...

Weakness: The mountain crab's soul is profoundly fragile.]

"A crab blessed by a deity?"

"Really, the God of Mountains has such whims?"

Ethan mentally quipped, then briefly conveyed his findings.

Upon hearing this, Quel could only respond with a resigned, "It seems we must leave."

Ethan nodded in agreement.

Although Ethan had mastery over the Soul Language of Nature, he wasn't adept in its use.

The power of the soul was elusive, and even with persistent daily practice, Ethan had only grasped a basic understanding, mostly involving supplementary techniques.

Wielding soul-based offensive strategies was a journey he had only just begun.

Having decided on a course of action, the trio quickly made their exit.

Compared to the mountain crab's daunting defensive prowess, their offensive abilities were rather limited, relying mainly on their colossal pincers.

This posed little threat to Ethan and his companions.

In no time, the three had departed from Rainbow Coconut Island.

Not long after their departure, the trio came upon a city nestled within a forest.

"This is the City of Elves!"

"We must be in the territory of the Dawn Elf Kingdom now. The Dragon Garden is to the north of the Dawn Elf Kingdom. If we go straight there, it should take about five hours," Quel explained.

Yet, the trio chose not to enter the city.

From Quel's account, the City of Dawn Elves wasn't welcoming to outsiders.

However, to their surprise, even though they tried to avoid trouble, trouble seemed to find them.

"Who are you?"

"Why did you sneak into the City of Elves?"

A male Elf, bow in hand, inquired sharply.

"We're just passing through," Quel clarified.

A mocking smirk surfaced on the Elf's face, "Passing through? Do you think I'll believe that? You must be spies, here to uncover the secrets of the City of Elves."

"Seize them! We shall let the high priest pass judgment!"

He commanded.

Several Elves advanced, ready to apprehend Ethan and his companions.

A flare of anger ignited within Ethan, he challenged, "Are you sure you want to take us in?"

The male Elf laughed heartily, as if he had heard the funniest jest, and replied with disdain, "This is the City of Elves, Elf territory. What, you plan to resist?"

"I'll have you know, if you dare to resist, I have every right to kill you on the spot!"

His words pushed Ethan to the edge.

"In that case, meet your end!"

Ethan's fist swung forward, bolstered by immense power.

The male Elf had no chance to react and was instantly pierced through by Ethan's blow, his life essence fading away.
