Chapter 164 The Naval Battle Ends, Chaos Returns
Not long after, John dragged his wounded companion back to the White Cliff.
His return signifies that the naval battle is drawing to a close.
Upon reaching the shore, John immediately summoned the healing mages waiting behind him and took his partner down for treatment. Then, his gaze couldn't help but drift toward the circular platform not far away.
The fighting there is basically over.
Several young people were methodically cleaning up the remaining sirens.
"Mo Fan, those bastards are trying to escape! Quick, give them another shot!" Zhao Manyan shouted.
When they're being beaten, they complain endlessly; when they're kicking a dog while it's down, they yell the loudest. Perhaps this is how defensive mages vent their frustrations.
Mo Fan stood on the cliff, watching the sea monsters trying to escape, a slight smile playing on his lips.
He held a giant sword formed from flames in his hand, and his eyes gleamed with a fierce light.
With a thought, an intensely hot flame gathered at the tip of his sword, forming a huge fireball.
The fireball emitted terrifying heat, distorting the surrounding air.
Mo Fan threw his longsword with force, and the fireball, along with the greatsword, flew towards the fleeing sea monster with astonishing power.
The flaming sword streaked across the sky, leaving a long trail of fire, and struck the group of sea monsters with unerring accuracy, like a falling meteor, instantly triggering a violent explosion.
Flames flew everywhere, creating a sea of fire that engulfed the sea monsters.
"Damn, at least we managed to burn them once!" Mo Fan said with some relief.
Screams of agony echoed from within the flames.
Those planktonic jellyfish were indeed afraid of flames; the high temperature emanating from the sea of fire caused them immense suffering.
Mo Fan seized the moment when the planktonic jellyfish turned around and launched this attack.
The jellyfish below the cliff were mostly killed or injured by Mo Fan's flames, and the remaining ones slunk back into the sea and began to retreat.
Meanwhile, the venomous octopuses on the cliff were all eliminated by Ai Jiangtu and his companions.
"Fall back."
Only after the battle ended did Hua Yu issue the order that a captain should give.
The group returned to the barrier and hadn't gone far when they encountered John walking towards them.
He still had that same unshaven look, but this time his attitude towards everyone seemed to have changed somewhat.
"My dear guest from China, I, John, am very grateful for your help."
After speaking, Knight Commander John clasped his right fist to his chest and bowed slightly to Hua Yu in front of him.
Although it was the mysterious Black Mist Monarch who changed the course of the battle, John still couldn't forget the sound that suddenly entered his ears during the fight.
If it weren't for that voice reminding them, they would probably have been defeated long ago by the White Crystal Ghost Mother's sneak attack, and wouldn't have been able to hold out until the arrival of that mysterious black mist.
John had a pretty good memory, and with that accent that didn't sound like a native's, he immediately spotted the silver-haired youth among the group of young people with whom he had a brief conversation.
"It's nothing. Our training mission is to accompany you in five naval battles. If something happens to you, our mission will probably be a bit more complicated," Hua Yu said calmly.
Upon hearing this, John was slightly taken aback, a look of surprise appearing on his face, as if he had never expected the other party to give such an answer.
Shouldn't a normal response be some nice, polite words?
After all, I am the supervisor of their mission. When it comes time to issue the mission, I might be able to do them a favor.
However, Hua Yu made it clear that their purpose was simply to complete the training mission, not to curry favor with him.
John found this straightforward attitude somewhat novel.
"Haha, what an interesting young man." John couldn't help but laugh.
As the leader of a knightly order, he held a prestigious position and wielded considerable influence and power within the nation.
The young people he usually encountered who came to gain experience were all very respectful to him, and even tried their best to curry favor with him, hoping to get more benefits and opportunities.
But Hua Yu in front of me displayed a unique temperament, completely disregarding me.
Perhaps this is the pride that the chosen ones should have!
John actually felt a slight liking for this kind of person.
"Sir John, shouldn't we consider this a successful mission?" Hua Yu asked.
"Of course," John nodded.
"When is the next naval battle? Tomorrow?"
Hearing this question, John smiled slightly and explained, "Our battlefield is a bit different from other naval battles. Those sea monsters don't come every day. Otherwise, with those monarchs taking turns fighting, I alone couldn't hold them off!"
Upon hearing this, Hua Yu frowned slightly.
Not fixed?
In other words, they didn't know how long they would have to wait here for those five naval battles.
"Was there any notification?"
"There will be broadcast signals in your accommodation area at that time."
"Alright, we'll come right away when we hear the signal," Hua Yu said.
There's nothing I can do, I guess I'll just have to waste a little time.
In order to make another breakthrough in his mental strength, Hua Yu really had to stay this time.
John nodded, then waved behind him.
Several knights dressed in white armor immediately stepped forward.
"Arrange rooms for these guests and let them get some rest," John instructed his men earnestly.
The knights were also somewhat surprised.
When did my boss ever give such a friendly look to these troublesome young people?
They knew perfectly well that John's decision to assign these young people to the Sirens's Battleground wasn't out of kindness, but simply because he was afraid these rookies would cause them trouble.
Therefore, we found a place with little pressure and let them play on their own.
After carefully observing John's expression, which didn't seem like a joke, the knights nodded seriously.
Before long, the members of the Nationalist team returned to their rooms to rest, arranged by several knights.
The white-armored knight who led Hua Yu into the room had just left when a cloud of black mist drifted into Hua Yu's room.
With a thought, Hua Yu conjured a chaotic curved surface beside him.
The black mist didn't linger and went straight inside.
In an instant, the Chaos System, whose cultivation progress was slow, became restless again.
The energy inside a monarch-level corpse?
Hua Yu smiled slightly, then sat down cross-legged to digest the energy that Chaos had brought back for him.
The starry sea belonging to the Chaos system has expanded outward once again.
