Chapter 270: The Terrifying Sea Monster
"Indeed!"
Elijah took a small amount of his own blood and dripped it onto the ring. However, it had no effect.
"Forget it. No need to rush. We'll study it slowly. For now, let's refuel!"
Elijah shook his head, temporarily putting away the ring, and then looked at the two survivors on the ground.
How should he deal with them?
Before Elijah could decide, the Telekinesis user named Isaac's heart stopped beating, and he died completely!
Good, only one person left!
Elijah turned to the remaining survivor and asked, "How did you enhance your abilities?"
This group, especially the last two, were all third-tier abilities users. Elijah didn't believe they had some lucky break with spirit plants that could advance them to the third tier.
"I… We…"
The last A-country man hesitated, but soon he noticed Elijah's increasingly menacing gaze. He gathered his courage and said, "We advanced by eating zombies with abilities!"
He had come to understand that everyone in Elijah's group was also quite powerful.
How else could they have gained their abilities? With his limited knowledge, he assumed that Elijah's group must have also advanced by consuming zombies.
Since that was the case, there was no point in mocking each other. Nothing to hide!
Daisy and Charlotte, upon hearing this, made disgusted faces and left to return to the port to refuel.
Elijah was surprised but not entirely. He had witnessed similar things before. It was quite disgusting!
He didn't delve into further details, having seen it with his own eyes.
Elijah asked a few more questions, including whether there was a mysterious island in the eastern sea region.
He did gather some useful information.
According to the A-country man, they had sent people to that island, but before they could approach, they encountered a huge sea monster, and many of their men were killed.
After that, they didn't dare to send more people there.
This was also why they had refrained from attacking Elijah's group at sea, once they realized Elijah's group could control sea monsters.
They felt more confident dealing with enemies on land, where they relied on their abilities.
Unfortunately, they were completely wiped out by Elijah's group upon contact.
"A huge sea monster, huh?"
Elijah stroked his chin, thinking about their journey to Serenity Peak. They might encounter this so-called sea monster, and he wondered if Whitey could handle it!
Seeing that no more useful information could be extracted, Elijah kept his promise and gave the survivor a hasty treatment.
He wouldn't die in the end, but his legs wouldn't be very agile either.
However, given his unique abilities, he should be able to survive even with impaired limbs.
After refueling the yacht, Elijah and his group set out for their true destination.
"The concentration of Chi is increasing!" Charlotte, sitting cross-legged on the deck, opened her eyes after a period of meditation and gazed into the distance.
"This means we're getting closer to our target!" Elijah, who had also been meditating, noted the change in Chi concentration as they moved away from the A-country island.
He had advanced in just a short period, equivalent to a full day's progress in Neoville City.
While Elijah and Charlotte were discussing their meditation experiences, Whitey, who had been swimming around the yacht, suddenly erupted from the water with a high-pitched cry.
"There's something going on!" Elijah immediately stood up and looked at Whitey.
He felt Whitey's emotions of tension and fear.
"What's happening?" Daisy, Abigail, and the others also stopped their activities and approached.
Before Elijah could answer, the sea surface suddenly churned, sending up enormous waves. A gigantic tentacle emerged from the waves, reaching for the yacht.
Whitey lunged at the tentacle with all its might, its powerful body smashing the tentacle away. At the same time, Whitey opened its massive jaws and clamped down on the tentacle.
The tentacle seemed to be in pain and tried to retract, dragging Whitey with it. Whitey resisted, pulling back in the opposite direction. They were locked in a stalemate.
But soon, the situation worsened!
From beneath the giant tentacle, two more gigantic tentacles emerged, reaching out for Whitey.
"This is bad, I'm going to help Whitey!" Elijah said, switching to Telekinesis. Holding the newly acquired green longsword, he propelled himself with force, darting towards the tentacles like a flying sword.
As Elijah infused Chi into the green longsword, it began to emit a sharp, cold light. In an instant, he arrived next to a massive tentacle and swung the sword with full force.
The enormous tentacle was swiftly sliced through by the sharp blade, its severed part spraying blue liquid like a fountain.
The remaining tentacle retracted quickly, leaving a segment of the severed tentacle crashing into the sea, creating towering waves.
The sea was soon dyed a deep blue with the monster's blood.
Elijah, seeing his attack was successful, continued his assault.
Using Telekinesis, he directed the green blade towards another tentacle.
Blood rained down like a storm, and the sea monster, now infuriated, flailed its remaining tentacles violently, trying to throw Whitey off and strike back at Elijah.
Elijah dodged the attacks, slashing at the remaining tentacles with several more strikes. Though these strikes didn't sever the tentacles, they left deep gashes.
Whitey, like a leech, clung tightly to the enormous tentacle, refusing to let go.
The sea monster's remaining tentacles thrashed about in frustration, and its massive body emerged from the water.
The horrifying sea monster had a large mouth filled with sharp teeth, resembling a bloomed chrysanthemum. It charged at Whitey, aiming to swallow it whole.
Seeing this, Elijah poured all his Chi into the green longsword, unleashing its full power.
The already extraordinary sword revealed its true form. It floated in the air, expanding from its original length of about 1.3 meters to over ten meters, becoming a colossal sword.
This was the giant sword Elijah had seen with his spiritual vision!
With the sword now under Elijah's mental control, it swung down with immense force at the sea monster.
The beast, unable to defend itself, was split cleanly in half by the massive blade, like a torn, hideous flower.
The surrounding seawater was also sliced in two. The remaining tentacles of the sea monster ceased their thrashing, and blue blood gushed from the creature, turning the entire sea a vibrant blue.
As the giant sword, having expended all its power, let out a resonant hum, it shrank back to its original form.
Elijah caught it and almost fell into the sea due to the sudden weight shift, though the sword itself hadn't become heavier—he was simply exhausted from maintaining Telekinesis.
Elijah quickly returned to the yacht. Whitey, now overjoyed, leaped and rolled in the water around the yacht, still holding a segment of the sea monster's tentacle in its mouth, which it hadn't let go of.
The sight of the tentacle and part of the monster's body circling the yacht had a somewhat eerie quality to it.
