Chapter 850 The Arctic Prince's Fleet
The Arctic Ocean.

The sky rippled, and five airships appeared.

Fafnir smiled: "Here we come, finally we don't have to drift in the sea anymore."

Remia smiled helplessly: "So it's the five princes!"

Sariel felt unwell all over. Although she had guessed that some princes would come, she hadn't expected all five to come. She had thought that the fourth prince might have something to do, but he still came.

Lia sighed, "This is a bit of a problem. Tifa isn't here, so there will be fewer dance partners at the ball."

Sariel understood. Five princes had arrived, but only four were city beauties. One of them would inevitably board the ship without a city beauty, and that one would become a laughing stock.

Sariel decided to stir things up: "How about this, everyone just board the Crown Prince's ship together, to avoid the awkwardness of that person with fewer dance partners!"

Fafnir smiled and said, "Is this a good idea?"

Sariel said, "After all, he is the eldest prince, so his status is a bit special. He can act as an arbitrator among the brothers. I'll take charge!"

Then Sariel leaped into the air and shouted, "The Silver Sage Sariel and the four city beauties request reinforcements from Your Highnesses, and request His Highness the First Prince to receive the four city beauties."

Sure enough, the lead ship immediately responded through its loudspeaker, its tone quite smug: "Welcome to the Silver Sage and the four noble ladies of the city."

Gabriel chuckled, "Interesting! I suspect they were arguing about this on their way here!"

Sariel sneered: "There's no need to argue now. If you have any complaints, just focus them on the boss."

Michael felt uneasy: "I have a feeling that Sariel is dissatisfied with me."

Sariel asked anxiously, "Boss, what are you thinking?"

Michael sighed, "I just think you're quite skilled at handling this."

Sariy Khan said, "No, no, no, our leader is our eternal guiding light. Without him, we wouldn't know how to play..."

Michael muttered, "I haven't respawned in three days, and you guys seem to be having a lot of fun!"

Gabriel quickly changed the subject: "Boss, this death penalty is taking way too long..."

As Sariel and the four city beauties flew onto the deck of the Crown Prince's warship, a tall, imposing man, slightly middle-aged, with a particularly regal beard, was already smiling and waiting: "Welcome, esteemed ladies. You've had a long journey!"

Just as this guy was about to give her a hand kiss, Sariel didn't give him the chance at all: "Your Highness, the enemy who defeated the Gem Guardian is located below. We've been tracking them all the way..."

Eve also said, "The specific coordinates are..."

The Crown Prince's smile vanished, and his demeanor instantly became wise and imposing: "Brothers, coordinates... Magic Energy High Explosive Depth Charge!"

However, the other four ships did not respond, nor did they move toward the target location.

The eldest prince's face immediately turned ugly.

That's exactly the effect I wanted. Sariel wanted to laugh, but he was afraid his boss would worry.

Lia sighed, "Actually, we miss all the princes very much, but since we are one person short, we didn't want to neglect anyone, so we decided to come together on the First Prince's ship. After all, this is a war, not a ball."

Fafnir sighed, "The four princes are so childish, while the eldest prince is much more steady and reliable."

The First Prince's expression softened instantly, then he roared through the loudspeaker, "Look at you all! Do you think this is a ball? This is war! Let the four ladies see what you're capable of!" The Second Prince immediately spoke up, "Ladies, I'm actually using magical meditation to confirm the coordinates and the number of targets. The scan has yielded more precise values..."

The Fifth Prince also said, "One SSS-level water elemental, suspected to be a wanted criminal from Gem City. One S-level fire elemental, and six giant SSS-level sea beasts..."

……

Just as Da Chun reached the third small whirlpool and was about to throw in the last dozen or so meteorites, a violent spatial fluctuation came from the sky above the sea.

Da Chun was stunned: "They've arrived?"

Xiao Mei said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect it to be so fast. It seems that we may not be able to save these last dozen or so meteorites."

He then ordered, "My comrades, you are all exhausted from the battle with the guardian spirit. Spread out immediately and leave as soon as possible!"

The sea creatures dispersed.

Da Chun faintly heard the sound of a loudspeaker coming from the sea: "...depth charge bombing..."

How powerful is a bomb?
Seeing that he had already slashed open the vortex gate, Da Chun was conflicted: "Should we still make one last effort?"

Xiaomei said, "I don't know, it's up to you to decide! Make a decision quickly."

So, in crucial moments, does it depend on the player?
Da Chun has only reached the intermediate level 10 of the Asura Space Slash, just a little short of breaking through, and he still has more than a dozen left. Staying here makes him feel uncomfortable, and he really doesn't want to leave, but he has never been a gambler.

Da Chun glanced at Xiao Mei. As the giant ice-pressing beast left, the entire massive iceberg began to rise. She was using a water jet to cut the remaining ice floe containing a dozen or so meteorites.

Da Chun immediately realized that she didn't actually want to leave!

She might even have planned her escape route—the alternate dimension she herself had cleaved open? She actually wanted to go; wasn't the origin of the world just the rule of creation? With her research and curiosity, how could she not want to go? It's just that the unknown prevented her from doing so! But since everyone is an avatar, what is there to be afraid of?
Da Chun made a decisive decision: "Stay here and do everything you can to hide these dozen or so meteorites. I believe that the icebergs we've surfaced on will attract their attention and help us withstand a wave of bombardment!"

Xiao Mei agreed very readily: "Okay!"

That shout of "Good!" seemed to have great power, and it sliced ​​off the last egg carton like cutting a cake. Da Chun's skills lived up to expectations, and he upgraded with a single slash at the crucial moment!

—Asura Class Notice: Congratulations! Your Asura Space Slash skill has advanced to Advanced Level 1. You have gained the following achievements: Attack +1, Magic Attack +1, Health +1, Stamina +1. Your extraordinary wisdom and the successful combination of the God-Craftsman level modules have honed the skills of both Warrior and Asura. Your Warrior class skills have reached the Master level Dual Wielding Proficiency, Master level Dual Wielding Parry and Block, Master level Disarm, Master level Evasion, Master level Weakness Strike, and Master level Critical Strike Proficiency, demonstrating a preliminary understanding of God-Craftsman level techniques.

……

Holy crap, just by leveling up to a higher level, the high-end skill has actually boosted the low-end skill, activating a whole bunch of Grandmaster Warrior skills and Divine Craftsman's Insight!

That's right, I didn't actually train all these warrior masters. They were rewards after I returned from a thousand years later. It means that I've lived for a thousand years, so I should be a master by now, and I'm not far from becoming a divine craftsman!
After advancing to the advanced level, Da Chun slashed down and tore a hole in the vortex just big enough to accommodate the meteorite iron.

Xiao Mei immediately activated her water elemental power, grabbing a lump of meteorite iron in each hand and throwing it in!
two!

Four!

Then Da Chun heard the sound of countless heavy objects falling into the water from the sky!

Hurry up, six of them!
Eight!

Then, a massive explosion occurred overhead, illuminating the dark seabed and shattering the ice cart that had just surfaced...
