The Grand elder is heaving with anger as he ran towards the port city with the city lord’s daughter leading the way to him.
When the city lord has informed him of this dire situation, he should have sent his subordinates of came here by himself. After all, the army that was gathered is supposed to go to fight against the Gaja clan.
But just to get back at Sivan, he decided to let the army deal with the situation here. In fact, when Sivan asked for these forces, he simply said that they have a local problem that is threatening the safety of their city and wouldn’t be able to send the forces.
When Sivan felt frustrated due to the delay in plans, he felt satisfied. But now, he lost a lot of soldiers and even two cities and many other resources along with that.
This is a massive blow.
Particularly, now that it is revealed the whole thing is done by the Dusk organization, he is even more furious.
At first, the Dusk organization didn’t do anything to him or his resources, the only reason he brought them up is that many of the elders and core elders are losing a lot of properties and cash cows.
So, he figured they would be in his support if he brought that up and they did. But it seems like he jinxed himself by unjustly using the name of the Dusk organization when they didn’t do anything to him.
They came and bit a big chunk of his flesh.
There is a lot of rage building up inside as he thought these things and he doesn’t even know where he should be directing it to.
After they reached the port city, at least the spot where the previous port city was, all they saw is signs of battle.
The water creatures are nowhere to be seen.
The grand elders looked around and used his keen senses to see if there are any fresh traces left behind and he found a trial.
He followed to the seashore.
The rest of his entourage, particularly the people that previously seen what these water creatures can do, didn’t want to go near that.
The Grand elder didn’t bother with them though.
He looked at the sea with condescension and rage all mixed into one.
He stepped forward into the air and was about to go deeper, but at this moment, a vortex formed in the sea and a water snake was shot at him.
The grand elder smiled in disdain as he slammed his palm in front of him.
*SPLASH*
The large water snake was broken and it sprayed down like rain.
All of the people on the beach were soaked in water.
The Grand elder stepped into the air and started moving deeper into the sea. He looked at the sea surface as he watched the water creatures coming to the surface to attack him.
“Puny creatures. I will destroy you all.”
The old man started throwing palm strikes from the sky and the creatures exploded even in the water. Their regeneration ability which was almost impossible to breach in the water was not even sufficient.
It cannot keep up with the damage that is happening to the creatures and they are being destroyed.
After a few palms strike the creatures dove deeper into the water.
They didn’t stay on the surface.
The old man smirked and dove down into the water.
There is a spiritual energy barrier around him as he zoomed into the water. The water was not able to touch him and stayed out of the barrier.
He went down faster and faster as he attacked the creatures that are trying to get away from him.
The whole sea was subjected to chaos. The water splashed left and right. There is nothing normal about it.
The destruction went on and on and all of it suddenly stopped when the old man saw a pillar in the middle of the ocean.
He frowned as he saw all of the creatures trying to reach the pillar. A few thoughts crossed his mind, but one thing is for sure. He knew that this pillar is somehow related to these creatures and since they are going for it at such an important time, it might be something helpful to them.
He didn’t want to let them go like this though.
He directly went for the pillar even before the creatures could reach it and touched it.
A large water elemental energy wave came out of the pillar and it went past the sea, the beach, the port and even the whole port city.
All of the people that are waiting for the grand elder’s return, the beasts that are holing up in the forest and even the grass that was left behind in the port city’s place all felt the wave.
The grand elder who is nearest to it, of course, sensed it and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
Before he could make sense of what this wave meant, the crystal rods planted all over the seafloor suddenly started glowing.
Then only did the old man sense their presence. At the same time, all of the crystal rods out of the sea also started glowing and faint water elemental energy lines. The lines that are very thin and looked like laser pointers started emerging from the crystal rods and they connected each other.
A large faint blue coloured laser network appeared and it spanned from within the seafloor to the port city’s surroundings.
The grand elder immediately made his way to the top of the seafloor, he knew that something is wrong and he doesn’t want to be a victim of whatever incident that is.
He trusted his gut feeling and left.
But before he could reach the seafloor, the water creatures reached the pillar and they pulled it out.
The faint laser network brightened up and….
*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*
A series of explosions happened and water elemental energy ran rampant. A large portion of water from the sea splashed all over the area of explosions and the splashed water reacted with the water elemental energy that is running rampant and riddled everything with holes. The stones walls left behind as debris from the ruined city didn’t survive this.
The stone turned to dirt and the dirt turned to mud and the mud dissolved into the seawater all in an instant.
As for the people within this range.
None of them survived.
The blood in their bodies reacted to the water elemental energy and tore through their flesh, even before they could react to the explosions in the surroundings.
The whole flesh turned into a blood spray which disappeared with the rest of the sprayed water.
By the time the whole thing settled down, the beach, the port and the area of the port city were all gone.
All that was left is the sea. Except for the infinite amount of water, there is not a single trace of land’s existence there.
The grand elder who was probably nearest to the explosion also didn’t survive. Everyone died.
No one knew what happened until that evening some of the officials came from the main city to check up on the situation.
When they came, they were shocked. After all, a large mass of land has disappeared and was devoured by the water.
It is not every day they will come to see a scene like this.
Of course, they knew the severity of the situation and immediately reported this to the headquarters of the Mari clan.
The news took a few hours to reach the headquarters, but it didn’t even take a few minutes for it to spread all over the headquarters.
All of the main members and officials that are involved in this war immediately made a move.
They all flooded the clan leader’s office.
“Clan’s leader, we heard that this is the job of the Dusk organization. They even killed a Grand elder. We need to take severe action against them.”
“Yes, we cannot let them off.”
“We ignored them for way too long. Now they are getting out of hand. We need to kill them as soon as we can.
Ignore capturing and trying to get their equipment, if we don’t kill him now, we cannot proceed in the Gaja clan’s war.”
Everyone has an opinion and most of their opinions are revolving around the point of killing the trio from the Dusk organization.
The clan’s leader felt anxious.
Just the news of one Peak stage Astral Plane Consummate cultivator has brought this much commotion to his doorstep.
He wondered how they will react if they knew the death of two more and it was also done by the dusk organization.
He didn’t even want to imagine it.
But there is another pressing matter that made him feel even more anxious.
He calmed the people down a bit and called his attendant.
“Has the news reached Sivan’s residence?”
“I don’t know sir.”
“Find out immediately and make sure the commotion doesn’t reach his residence if it already hasn’t.”
