Extraordinary Voyage-Chapter 456 - 420 The Ladder of the Quasi-Legendary

Chapter 456: Chapter 420 The Ladder of the Quasi-Legendary

Crackle crackle...

The longsword that beheaded Oveg still crackled with electric light.

Until dozens of spiritualized seagulls blocked this space 360°, repeatedly confirming that no spirit escaped.

Clang——

Only then did Aiven sheathe his longsword.

Gush gush!

A sofa formed of seawater automatically rose behind him, and he plopped down on it, gasping heavily.

"Hoo!.. Hoo!.."

Obviously, with the powerful physical body of Tier 3 and the core of a Totem God, it wasn’t easy to slay him?

If not for the coincidentally highly effective "Flesh and Blood Uprising" against Oveg’s special state, and the timely cooperation provided by the "Storm Horn", he might indeed have managed to escape.

If that had happened, it would truly be an endless disaster.

As for now.

Given Aiven’s current level of mysterious knowledge.

Oveg, killed in his physical state, is most likely to have his main consciousness disappear, to be replaced by another "Great Sea Shark" or a being with similar powers.

The foundational existence of this mysterious continent’s substitute may have consistent mysterious origins, but the concept and persona of "Oveg" can never appear again.

This is also why Aiven initially said that a being without "Divinity" has no right to speak of immortality.

Because if even the core consciousness can’t be preserved, how does being reborn relate at all to the original self?

With Oveg’s beheading, this feud is finally settled.

Aiven has no worries about some inexplicable foe seeking vengeance in the future.

What he is most concerned about now are the words previously uttered by Oveg — "that lady", "the future of all natural spirits", and "join them".

This information made Aiven keenly aware that there must be some sort of alliance or organization, either tightly-knit or loosely organized, behind Totem God Oveg.

And joining this organization requires at least achieving a human body and being able to fully exert the power of a Tier 3 Totem God.

Lastly, the leader or representative figure of this organization is most likely the "lady" mentioned by Oveg.

And for Oveg, who looks down on humans as livestock, to use a respectful term, this figure must at least be a stronger Totem God than he is.

Extraordinary Tier 4? Or those acclaimed as the strongest beneath a Demigod?

No matter the level, it’s not something he can provoke at present.

And now Aiven is almost certain.

During his time on the New Continent, encounters like the "Childless Evil Spirit" Pocatello, the vanished Yucatan Tribe, and "Headless Ghost" Aida....

These inexplicably enhanced spiritual events and the suddenly active Totem Gods are undoubtedly related.

"Perhaps I should quickly contact Princess Huron of Milan to confirm the movements of natural spirits deep in the continent and the internal situation of the Atrean people.

Otherwise, such events will only become more frequent, and the tasks of the Crowman Team and Garrison will never end."

Whoosh!

Picking up Oveg’s body, Aiven lightly leaped onto the "Storm Horn" docked beside him.

By now, the diligent seagulls had already found the fallen extraordinary longspear for him.

Grabbing the exquisite demonized weapon, Aiven twirled it casually before commanding Boris, who stood respectfully at his side:

"First Mate, dock the ship. Also, scoop up those two half-dead demonized sharks from the water. Let’s not waste them."

"As you command, Captain!"

....

When Aiven launched his final pursuit of Oveg.

The battle at the sacrificial site was similarly approaching its end, with all young warriors below the extraordinary level among the Araucan clan wiped out.

Only the last four Totem Warriors held out until Tribal Shaman Diogu organized forces to provide support.

With the Shaman’s magic support, even surrounded by navy soldiers, the last armed force of the Araucan Clan gained the capital to resist to the death.

Drumming... drumming...

To the stirring drums, even with only five of them left, their morale was high.

Their sole belief was that their "Chieftain" would return victorious after slaying the enemy officer.

Leading them to completely annihilate this group of damned invaders!

Vigorously beating the "Tebonaster" hand drum, Diogu sang loudly:

Sa——

[Shamanism: Vigoration!]

An almost imperceptible bright red ripple spread from Diogu to the four surrounding Totem Warriors, accompanying the drum’s beat.

Their excited spiritual states, combined with the power surging within them, temporarily weakened the effects of [Laughing Spores].

Allowing these four Totem Warriors to resist fiercely for a short time against the main force led by extraordinary officers Gary, Milan, and Roddy.

Under the protection of the Totem Warriors, the Shaman Wizard cast spells with ease.

Crackle...

Drawing forth a long lightning chain from the air, he flicked it, striking Gary, whose steel heavy armor made him highly conductive, sending him flying away.

Whether accompanied by a Shaman or not, native combat power was clearly on two different levels!

Then the lightning chain opened a gap on the east side of the encirclement, by the sea, allowing the five native extraordinaries to break out together.

They clearly knew that with limited magic, staying would lead to loss, so they aimed for a strategic retreat to preserve living strength.

Seeing the Shaman, who wielded powerful lightning forces, attacking so fiercely.

Milan knew his limits and didn’t rashly advance to block, stopping Roddy, who also served as a main force.

With a wave of his hand, he issued the command.

"All on the east side, disperse, firearms team, fire!"

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!...

The scorching barrage of hundreds of lead bullets had evidently surpassed the limit of what this young shaman could handle. It was already quite rare that he could master multiple shamanism spells right after his successful promotion.

Therefore.

Despite the five of them dodging desperately, under the dense rain of bullets, two were still hit and fell, instantly swarmed and killed by a group of Shark Monster soldiers.

Yet under the focused protection of the remaining totem warriors, the shaman broke through the encirclement unharmed.

The three continued rushing toward the vast ocean in the night without slowing.

However, by this time, everyone knew that the shaman among the native tribes was the key figure, and he must not be allowed to escape.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

With Gary, Milan, and Warrant Officer Roddy leading, the extraordinary beings immediately took off in pursuit.

And in the darkness, no one noticed that a vivid crimson cinnabar crystal had quietly appeared in Roddy’s hand.

vene——

[Crimson Poison]

After a barely noticeable utterance of the curse, the cinnabar vanished from his grasp.

Squeezed between two totem warriors on either side, heading towards the sea, the young shaman suddenly stiffened.

Within a few breaths, he felt a heavy metallic taste in his mouth, followed by intense dizziness, nausea, and muscle spasms.

Seeing the pursuers closing in, he tried several times to cast spells to stop them, but couldn’t utter a single word.

Before running far, he was caught by Milan and Olivia, whose agility attribute was the highest among those adept in Rose Swordsmanship.

Two inherently inferior totem warriors plus one total "burden."

Clang clang clang...

After just a few exchanges, Diogu was impaled through the heart by Olivia, seizing an opportunity.

With the death of the caster, the effect of [Vigoration] disappeared in an instant.

The two remaining totem warriors, overwhelmed and starting to laugh again, were easily slain by Gary and Milan, who swiftly caught up.

This group of people ultimately could not hold on until the moment the "chieftain" returned victorious.

However, dying with hope was somewhat better than dying after seeing the body of "Manguenke", probably...

Thus.

All combat power on the native side was completely extinguished, leaving only the old, young, and women, already collapsed to the ground in laughter due to [Laughing Spores], alive.

Milan was somewhat puzzled by the shaman’s last abnormality but didn’t dwell on it. After complimenting the newcomer with a "well done,"

He ordered the soldiers:

"Clean up the battlefield!"

...

When Aiven returned to the beach aboard the "Storm Horn," the soldiers had already looted all the spoils and had bound and detained all the old, weak, and women.

Facing the soldiers’ unprecedented looks of admiration, Aiven encouraged them with a few words before ordering them to camp on the spot and return the next day.

"Yes, sir!"

With their captain achieving Extraordinary Tier 3, their reliance became increasingly solid, something that invigorated the soldiers more than today’s great victory, which saw minimal casualties.

However.

In the woods on the other side of the bay, some people felt the exact opposite.

An indigenous wizard, clad in a cloak of black feathers and holding a bird-headed staff, glared at the settled battlefield and angrily said:

"These invaders from the outside world are indeed excellent sacrifices for the Totem Gods, but amongst them, there are still some troublesome fellows.

Just wait, the lady will surely punish you!"

Meanwhile.

Aiven suddenly tilted his head, his keen senses detecting a faint malice in the forest.

But it only flashed by, and with the distance too far and enveloped in darkness, nothing was found.

Long after, all he saw in the seagull’s view was a large crow spreading its wings and flying away.

Regarding this, having confirmed the big fish Oveg had been killed, Aiven didn’t pay it much mind.

He subsequently ordered the release of two seagulls, one to have the nearest Royal Colony Kabushel send ships to transport "slaves," the other to report the mission’s completion and his unexpected findings to Garrison Commander Christopher.

As for the battle spoils from this operation, they were clear at a glance.

All the precious metals and other assets combined amounted to around several thousand Golden Lions, additionally, there was the extraordinary long spear of superior quality, already hard to measure in gold.

What he valued most, however, was that severed totem pillar.

Compared to the higher-ranked demigods, the totem pillar actually served as the "Sanctuary" for natural spirits. They provided power to the natives in exchange for sacrifices and offerings, and the natives used this power to protect the totem pillar and ensure the continuation of their race.

This Great Sea Shark Totem Pillar, after centuries of veneration by the Araucan Clan and being imbued with Oveg’s extraordinary power, had undergone an essential change from its original wooden form.

Though the cut still appeared wooden, it was exceptionally tough, without a trace of wooden grain, and uniformly metallic.

Now cut slantly, it resembled a massive rhinoceros horn.

Especially after Aiven’s close inspection, discovering it still retained at least a third of the Tier 3 power essence of Totem God Oveg, it reinforced his sense of having narrowly secured victory.

Nevertheless.

Looking at this high-quality extraordinary material in his hand, Aiven already thought of an excellent way to handle it, potentially enabling the "Storm Horn" to take a half-step towards quasi-legendary status.

"Store this treasure well, tomorrow we set off for the Far Sails Territory!"

"Hmm?"

Beside him, after a night of slaying several extraordinary beings including a shaman, the accomplished Warrant Officer Roddy shivered slightly at his words.
