Chapter 255

Chapter 255

The Big Boom cannon fired. All Astrid saw was an all illuminating blue. It rocketed straight for the Leviathan. Astrid clenched her hands into fists. Hit

But it didnt hit. The robed individual at the front that was firing powerful fireballs summoned a forty metre blazing wall of white flames. The Big Boom impacted the fire wall, and then a colossal explosion tugged at Astrids shoulders.

The blast from the cannon had bore a hole through the centre of the fire wall. Behind it, stood a mutilated body. Once white robes now were ragged strips of material soaked in blood. Through the haggard cloth, was a set of bone white ribs. The explosion had ripped the man apart. He fell into the water with a splash.

Again, her mother commanded as her eyes remained on the Leviathan.

Freya stepped forward. Mother, we only have

I understand. She nodded. Again.

Without further ado, the kobolds reloaded the cannon, then fired again. This time, a translucent wall was formed just in time, blocking the shot. But the shield didnt come out unscathed. Cracks formed.

Again, her mother repeated, and another blast of blue filled the sky.

This time it smashed through the splintered barrier. It continued until a man intercepted it. An explosion followed. Once the ocean and the light settled, returning to normal, it revealed a clothless man. His robes eviscerated, mighty, coiling muscles were burnt black. Blood fell. It trailed into the waters, creating a red haze surrounding him. Wounded, he stood on the water, like an unmovable mountain.

Crazy bastards, Brett said with a wry smile.

This is going to be a long battle, Lord Sinwen said. Those under Level two-hundred, do not come to the front. If spawn arrives from the sides, or the front, deal with them. This is our fight.

His words ended, and the Grand Nobles hovered above the battlements. Grand Noble Faris sat to the side, lounging against the wall of the ship. He was grievously wounded, yet an intense smell of alcohol wafted through the air. He brought a bottle of clear liquid gold to his mouth and drank the contents.

He smiled, gold liquid dripped down the corner of his mouth. Dont go dying before I recover. I want my revenge. Adding on to that point, dont kill that damned Pope. Hes mine.

Grand Noble Milanas scoffed. You say that like you even stood a chance in the first place. He almost killed you with a flick of his wrists

I was getting there! Faris shouted, then coughed. He covered his mouth with his hands. When he brought them away, blood covered his palm. He grumbled, If my alcohol brewed for five more minutes, Id have given him a nice surprise.

Five minutes. Uncle Vihaan laughed. On the battlefield, thats a lifetime. You would know that if you hadnt spent your years with your brain at the bottom of a barrel.

Thats my joy, Faris spat. A meat jockey like you wouldnt understand.New novel chapters are published on no/vel(b)in(.)co/m

Incoming, Lord Sinwen said.

Astrid could feel it in the distance. Mana. And it was a terrifying amount. But it wasnt just a feeling. She could see it with her own eyes. The man standing atop the Leviathans head in golden robes, and a haloed mask, surrounded himself with a blue hue.

Astrid shook her head. No way any one of those masked bastards had enough strength to completely shift Rebirth like it was a sack of potatoes.

Flying to the side, she peered out to the ocean. They had reached the Dead Seas. Up ahead, the entire waters swirled. Each one of the colossal swirls were over a mile long. There were at least forty of them Astrid stopped counting after that. It looked like the entire ocean was being sucked downward.

Brett appeared by her side. His hand slapped the barrier as he gazed ahead. Holy shit.

Were here, Losef said. The Dead Seas.

The Dead Seas

Astrid frowned. She looked straight down, peering over the edge of the barrier. They were caught in one of the swirls, but the high powered engines were powering them through it. They smashed through to the other side, only to enter another.

Rebirth thrashed to the side once more.

Were not going to make it, Astrid mumbled. Her head snapped to Freya. Where the hell is Noah?

AtAt the bow of the arc, She replied.

Astrid and the others rushed to the front. Her mother was there, and so was Noah. Those of the lower Levels were also here, staring mindlessly ahead at the horrors that awaited them.

The weather was changing.

Spanning the entire horizon, and above, the skies turned angry. Grey, black, and flashes of red lightning threatened to skewer them.

As Astrid looked beyond, she couldnt help but think that this was where the end of the world lay. It was a place that not even gods would want to travel. And they were now sailing through it.

Astrid stood just behind Noah, and said, I hope your plan works.

Me too, Astrid, Noah replied. Then, she walked forward. She took out what appeared to be a whistle. She rested her elbows on the railings in front of her, then blew on the whistle.

Astrid couldnt hear anything. A second later, the waters stirred. The devouring whirlpools in their path moved out of their way. Then, Astrids body jolted. She stuck her feet to the decking. They were moving so much faster now, like they had suddenly gained twice the thrusters that they had before.

Confused as to what was happening, she gazed down at the water below. A path was forming. A direct line that led straight ahead into the centre of the Dead Sea.

Were doing it! Astrid smiled.

This is just the beginning, Noah said as her brows tightly knit together.

From each of the whirlpools, terrifying monsters emerged.
