Chapter 245: Meeting The Royals (End)

"It's three times as small as the water realm. A lot of cities and towns are missing and the details about a few places are blurry. I have no idea how this place even came into being." Kai said while looking at the map as the four of them were standing outside the sect's entrance.

"I guess we will have to complete the mission anyway since it would look suspicions if we returned back and said that we don't wanna do the mission especially after asking for the map." Levina replied as Kai nodded and opened the scroll that contained the mission.

"So we have to gain the meat of beasts known as water chickens?" Kai said in confusion as he read the mission. Mariel and Levina on the other hand frowned.

"Is that person serious about giving us that mission?! A newbie might die on it!" Mariel exclaimed as Kai raised his eyebrows since he didn't understand what they meant.

"The water chickens, as they are called, are not actually chickens. They are rather as large as ostriches and can control water as though it's part of their body. They can also change the form of water to anything they want so the liquid water can become ice in less than a second. And they can run at a speed of hundred kilometers per hour. Me and Levina often used to brawl around with them after sealing our cultivation. It used to be good practice." Mariel explained as Kai nodded.

"Then they are going to be a good challenge." Kai said as the two girls nodded.

"They used to live somewhere around here. Though I wonder if that place has changed." Levina said while pointing at a certain section of the map.

Kai nodded as he teleported the group to that place as they appeared beside what looked like a hot spring. Steam rose from the water as Kai turned towards the right to see a small waterfall bringing hot water into the lake.

But instead of finding water chickens, Kai and the others saw a woman taking bath in the middle of the spring.

'Before we follow the cliché here, I should just teleport us out of here.' Kai mentally sighed as he teleported all of them a few kilometers in the north as the woman blinked in confusion.

"Is something wrong my lady?" A maid crept near the woman in the hot spring as she shook her head.

"Nothing, I just thought that I saw someone over there. Must be my imagination." The woman replied as the maid went away.

'But since when did I start imagining about a hot man looking at me while bathing?' The woman silently wondered as she sighed and stood up from the spring.

"Now how do we find these chickens?" Kai asked as the group stood near a cluster of trees.

"You can always try searching for their auras carefully without touching another person's aura." Mariel suggested as Kai sighed.

"Easier said than done. Guess it wouldn't hurt for me to try." Kai replied as he closed his eyes and slowly spread his spiritual sense.

His spiritual sense slowly spread in the region as he sensed the auras of various spiritual beasts but he already knew all of their auras. He kept spreading his spiritual sense when he finally found what he was looking for.

"There are about twenty water chickens moving together. Guess we hit a bonus." Kai said as he teleported the group to the location.

They saw huge blue-colored ostriches running around a hundred kilometers per hour speed. Kai suddenly frowned when he saw that since this was the beast's fastest running speed.

The first person Kai ever helped in removing a cruse was a sixteen-year-old teenager named Hailis. After helping her, he had moved away to help more people but a few centuries later, Hailis had become one of the best tamers out there.

They had a reunion later on and had slowly become friends. Hailis was one of the few girls who was Kai's friend instead of a lover.

She had told him that beasts that had a fast running speed only ran at their maximum speed if they had a hunter chasing after them.

Just as Kai was thinking about this theory, an arrow soared through the air with deadly accuracy as it hit one of the water chickens in the stomach as it fell down.

Another aura appeared around the sky but as it neared the fallen water chicken, it turned into numerous wind blades that pierced the skin of the bird. It was dead within a few minutes as blood covered its surroundings.

"Hey! Who the hell are you guys?!" The group kept looking towards the sky as three figures appeared in the sky.

The three figures settled down on the ground as Kai relaxed a little when he saw that all the figures were at the spiritual soul realm though they were at the 3rd stage which was the last stage.

"Who the hell said that you could just walk up here while we are hunting?! You…" One of them began speaking but he suddenly stopped when he noticed the group's robes.

Kai and the others had changed into the sect's robes long ago and it looked as though it had a major effect on the three guys.

"You are disciples of the eternal ocean sect?" The same man asked as Kai nodded.

Kai then noticed that the three people were wearing robes in different shades of blue. Two of them were wearing royal blue robes while the last guy was wearing sky blue robes. The one who had spoken earlier was wearing royal blue robes.

"It still doesn't matter. Do you know who I am?" The guy wearing the sky blue robes asked as Kai shook his head.

"My name is Valeus Laniel and I am the crown prince of the continent of water." The man announced with an arrogant expression as Kai raised his eyebrows.

"So?" He asked as the three guys fell silent and stared at Kai in disbelief.
