Chapter 2360 Reverse Sea Wall <TOC> Chapter 2362 Paradise for Sea Beasts

“Are you all okay?” Angel asked, glaring at Dangros after seeing everyone scattered on the ground.
Sea Dragon hurriedly shook its head: “We’re fine, no harm done.”
They had been flung from the ship from a height of only three or four meters, so it was indeed unlikely for them to be injured.
“My friend here got a bit too playful. I’ll make sure to teach it a proper lesson once we’re back,” Angel said, picking up Dangros to prevent any further mischief.
Sea Dragon didn’t dare to respond to that, only repeatedly saying “It’s nothing.”
Understanding Sea Dragon’s mindset, Angel didn’t press further. His gaze briefly swept over the balcony’s magic carpet, now with a hole burned through it, then shifted to the ship floating in the sky, supported by clouds, reflecting thoughtfully.
“The design is quite fascinating. It vaporizes cloud soil particles, which expand rapidly upon contact with the raw magic of the outside world, lifting the corresponding mass.” Angel quickly understood the principle behind the ship’s flight. Although the principle of the Cloud Floating Bottle wasn’t particularly outstanding, he appreciated the application of such technology in everyday life to serve the common people.
After a pause, Angel turned to Sea Dragon, the only extraordinary being on the cargo ship.
“Did you make the ship fly to avoid it?” Angel pointed towards the distant, majestic tidal wave that seemed to touch the sky.
Without hesitation, Sea Dragon nodded, explaining the situation of the ship and the sea transport company behind it.
“Blue Tongue Shipping Company… backed by the Brustag family.” Angel pondered for a moment: “A wizard family from Lorenbeil?”
Sea Dragon nodded eagerly, hoping that by revealing his identity, Angel would consider their connection and spare them any trouble.
“It’s unexpected that a family from Lorenbeil also operates a shipping company in the Devil’s Sea.” Angel thought to himself. However, considering again, it made sense. Despite its dangers, the Devil’s Sea was filled with treasures and various magical sea beasts, making it understandable why the Lorenbeil family would want a share of the bounty.
Lorenbeil is an extraordinary city located on Deer Island. Although its reputation might not match that of Sky Mechanical City, in terms of status, it’s not far behind.
Lorenbeil hosts the largest extraordinary creature exchange in the Southern Region, with thirty-six wizard markets established across the region, including the Ancient River Beach. Thanks to Lorenbeil’s support, the Ancient River Beach has been able to compile the famous —Where are the Magical Beast?— and —Where are the Wonderous Treasures?— series of publications.
However, beneath its glamorous exterior lies a dark underbelly. The most important industry in Lorenbeil, leading to its rapid growth into a megacity, is not the exchange of extraordinary creatures but the slave market, which operates in a legal gray area. Due to the large number of smuggled otherworldly slaves sold here, the Extreme Sect prefer targeting Lorenbeil over Sky Mechanical City, making it a focal point of their attention.
Although Angel was aware of the situation in Lorenbeil, having never visited, the information merely flickered through his mind before settling back into silence.
He understood the purpose behind Sea Dragon’s announcement of these messages, but he himself had never considered doing anything to them, so naturally, he was indifferent to their backgrounds.
“Since you are here to avoid the Reverse Sea Wall that flew into the sky, let’s do this,” Angel pondered. “I will take care of this Reverse Sea Wall for you, as a way to apologize for Dangros’ recklessness, after all, it destroyed your magic carpet.”
Sea Dragon was about to decline reflexively, but when he clearly heard Angel’s words, he was instantly stunned.
If the other party could really deal with the Reverse Sea Wall… not to mention a magic carpet, even if he had to compensate with all his possessions, it would be worth it, as surviving to return was the most important thing.
Seeing Sea Dragon stunned, Angel did not mind and stretched out his hand, making a gentle summoning gesture.
A massive and invisible force seemed to envelop the surroundings of the cargo ship.
“Speedling, the Reverse Sea Wall over there is up to you,” Angel said softly to the air.
Sea Dragon did not hear any response, but he sensed that the massive and intangible entity had disappeared from around them.
As Sea Dragon was pondering what that thing was, he suddenly heard a tremendous sound of wind from behind.
Instinctively turning around, he saw a huge outline suddenly emerge in the distant sky. This outline was streamlined, emitting a faint blue glow.
It hovered in mid-air, continuously absorbing wind elements. The sound of wind he heard was emanating from it.
When it absorbed enough to reach a certain threshold, the hurricane, visible to the naked eye as a dense black mist, was gently pushed by it.
Initially moving slowly, but after a second or two, the hurricane exploded with astonishing speed, directly rushing towards the massive Reverse Sea Wall!
Compared to the enormity of the Reverse Sea Wall, this hurricane seemed insignificant, like using an orange to hit an adult. In Sea Dragon’s view, it might not be very effective.
But the reality was beyond everyone’s expectations. After the hurricane entered the Reverse Sea Wall, it initially disappeared, but within two or three seconds, an earth-shattering explosion sounded from within the wall.
The water wall that connected heaven and sea, under this explosion, turned into countless droplets, scattering in all directions.
Even Sea Dragon got his face splashed with water.
When Sea Dragon dried his face and looked forward again, he found that the Reverse Sea Wall that had blocked their path had completely disappeared. Ahead, the path was clear.
“It really disappeared…” “What was that just now, I seemed to have seen a giant blue bird!” “Why do I feel like that was an invisible flying whale?” “The Reverse Sea Wall is gone, are we safe now?”
Whispers of timid private conversations arose, and only then did Sea Dragon come back to his senses, expressing his respect and gratitude towards Angel with a bow.
“Thank you, lord.”
The voice of Sea Dragon brought everyone else to their senses, prompting them to kneel and thank Angel.
Angel waved his hand, and a force lifted the people up. He ignored the astonished expressions of the ordinary people and looked at Sea Dragon: “I have another purpose for coming here.”
“Please speak, lord.” Seeing Angel’s serious expression, Sea Dragon naturally did not dare to take it lightly.
Angel pondered: “Actually, it’s not very important… I just want to know, how do I get to Sidro Mist Island?”
Yes, the reason Angel came down from the ship was to ask for directions.
After all, getting lost in the sea is quite normal.
Sea Dragon did not expect Angel to come to ask for directions. As a guardian, he rarely paid attention to navigation routes and could only look towards the navigator.
The navigator immediately stood up and respectfully said, “Respected wizard lord, to get to Sidro Mist Island, you need to go this way…”
The navigator took about five minutes to explain the specific direction, and also mentioned the landmark navigation marks that might be encountered along the way. Angel then nodded in understanding.
At the same time, Speedling also flew over from a distance.
Angel nodded to the navigator and then said to Sea Dragon: “My purpose has been achieved, I should leave.”
As his words fell, Angel tapped the ground with his foot, his body shot into the sky, boarded the Gondola, and under the crouch of Speedling, disappeared into the horizon at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
Sea Dragon watched Angel leave until he could no longer see him in his field of vision, then turned his head back.
Then he was stunned.
Not only was Sea Dragon stunned, but everyone else also couldn’t believe the scene before their eyes.
All the Reverse Sea Walls had disappeared, and although the sea was churning and the waves were rolling one after another, without the Reverse Sea Walls, it was nothing.
The thick clouds in the sky also began to disperse, and it was clear to see that there was a ring-shaped hole in the center of the clouds, which was expanding continuously, with sunlight scattering from the hole.
The sea surface was glittering gold.
“…It only took a few minutes, and all the Reverse Sea Walls were broken by that invisible creature.”
“How terrifying. Is this the power of a wizard?” The person who spoke sneaked a glance at Sea Dragon. Compared to Sea Dragon, that seemingly lazy redhead was unfathomably deep.
At this moment, Sea Dragon had no thoughts of comparison. He recalled the huge and invisible creature in his mind.
“If I’m not mistaken, that was an elemental creature of the wind… To be able to break the Reverse Sea Walls, it must at least have the standard of a formal wizard. To enhance an elemental creature to the level of a formal wizard, that redhead’s strength absolutely cannot be underestimated. Perhaps he has already stepped onto the path of true knowledge!”
However, if he was a wizard of true knowledge, he shouldn’t be unknown, should he?
Sea Dragon shook its head, perhaps the other party had concealed their appearance?
This was the only speculation.
Whether this was the case could only be determined after returning to Lorenbeil and making inquiries. That beautiful airship, and the hand known as Dangros… it was uncertain if the identity of the other party could be traced from these pieces of information.
While Sea Dragon was pondering in secret, on the other side, Angel was sitting in the Gondola, staring at Dangros with a penetrating gaze.
Dangros understood that he had been too arrogant before. Now, he was lying on the table, trembling without moving.
“Have you realized your mistake?”
Dangros nodded its head in grievance.
“You still feel wronged?” Angel raised an eyebrow. “If you want to move in the world of humans, you must learn the rules. After all, this is not the Fire Domain. Relying on Magu as your backing and having a group of little brothers to support you won’t work here.”
Dangros pouted. “But I have you, don’t I?”
Angel: “…”
“This time you have me, but what if you don’t next time? Do you want to stay in the Tidal Realm forever? Even if you don’t leave the Tidal Realm, humans will eventually come searching. If you offend them and burn their things, do you think you can escape?”
Angel seriously educated Dangros. At first, Dangros didn’t listen much, but seeing Angel’s serious expression, he gradually put away his playful heart and listened earnestly to the lesson.
A few minutes later, after Angel had finished explaining, he snapped his fingers and created an illusion around Dangros.
Saying it was a confinement, naturally, he couldn’t go back on his word. Since there was no fireplace, he used an illusion to create one.
Dangros didn’t struggle and obediently stayed within the illusion.
Angel then let out a sigh of relief.
Teaching Dangros reminded him of the time he had to educate Toby. Toby was also very willful at first, spoiled to the point of being capricious by Gloria. At Twilight Auction, Toby almost got himself killed.
However, as they spent more time together, Toby became more restrained. With the awakening of the griffin and the serpent-bird form, he also became more mature. Although he was still flamboyant, it was part of his personality, and he became less reckless.
For some reason, Angel felt a strange sense of nostalgia.
“Have I become accustomed to being taken advantage of?” Angel chuckled to himself and shook his head, not dwelling on it any longer.
…
The Gondola flew through the sky, surrounded by clouds of varying densities, with the tumultuous sea below.
In such a scene, Angel couldn’t help but recall the time he, along with Nausica and others, ventured into the Savage Grottoes. They were navigating through the clouds, just as they were above the sea, the only difference being that back then, they were aboard a cloud whale, whereas now, he was alone in the Gondola.
Thinking of Nausica… Angel couldn’t help but sigh.
Leaving the Revelation Continent for the sea was something Angel had never anticipated.
Initially, Angel didn’t take the matter of the cave altar seriously, treating it as nothing more than a trivial pursuit born out of boredom. However, now that Nausica was involved, he could no longer afford to take it lightly.
After all, Nausica was one of his dearest friends.
Back in Sky Mechanical City, Angel respected Nausica’s decisions, choosing not to interfere with her choices. However, this didn’t mean he wasn’t worried about her.
Ignorance could have been bliss, but now that he was aware of the potential dangers facing Nausica, Angel couldn’t just sit idly by. Thus, when Iron Armor Granny asked him what he planned to do, he didn’t hesitate to choose to head towards the Mist Zone.
Angel checked the time; it had been almost a day since he left the Revelation Continent.
According to the navigator, there was still some distance to Sidro Mist Island, and Nausica’s situation remained uncertain.
The longer the delay, the greater the danger to Nausica.
Even though the Gondola, under the control of Speedling, was moving swiftly, Angel was still somewhat dissatisfied. After some thought, he took Toby out of his pocket.
For the next part of the journey, Angel began to switch modes of transportation frequently.
Toby occasionally transformed into a griffin, advancing by activating gravity lines. When the griffin form proved unstable, they would dive into the sea, transforming into a serpent-bird to surge forward.
When tired, Angel could rely on his soul’s gravity lines to fly for a while.
With the full-speed advance under the gravity lines, Angel finally saw the island at the edge of the vast Mist Zone, resembling a forward base, Sidro Mist Island, before sunset.
Upon reaching there, Angel resumed his journey on the Gondola.
He passed through Sidro Mist Island to its northernmost point. Following the signs left by Cindy from before, Angel found the marker leading into the Mist Zone.
Crossing the vast sea, Angel finally entered the uninhabited forbidden zone of the sea: the Mist Zone, as dusk fell and night approached.
