Chapter 978: Island Of Terror (Part 1)
On the west side of the island, a fleet of around six ships was seen approaching. Each of them had the banners of the clans they represented, but all of them were from the Light Faction. On board the Illumination Clan ship was Gelgar, a high middle-stage warrior.
He wasn't a Clan Head or Elder but was a promising man within the clan that focused on teaching many of the students. Then there was Krynic from the Aurora Clan. Krynic was an older man who had a muscular upper build and wore his robe across his chest, revealing his shoulder and half of his bare chest.
He was a member of the Aurora Clan for a long time but had never reached the high position of Elder or leader within the clan. On top of that, each fleet of ships had around ten warriors on board.
There were sixty warriors either at the peak of the initial stage or at the middle stage. On top of that, though, there was extra power in the group, particularly from the Dawnblade Clan that was somewhat leading the expedition due to how much power had been brought. The head Elder, Ricar, who had survived the Martial Arts Tournament; then there was Impress, one of the female Elders, along with Lyon. Finally, there was the latest Elder to the Dawnblade Clan, doing her first tasks as an elder: Beatrix. The Dawnblade Clan had practically brought out four of its strongest warriors to complete the task, and failure was not an option.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
With the large force with them, including the invited guest 'Red' from Alter, they were a force that couldn't be stopped.
"Sir, it seems that there were other ships spotted heading to the east coast!" a warrior claimed.
"Ignore them," Gelgar stated. "We must focus on the main task. Let's head ashore and find the item; that is the most important task in all of this."
Due to the large force at their disposal, he wasn't particularly worried about others approaching the island, especially since it was just a single ship. No matter who was on board, the strength they had could eliminate whole armies and kingdoms.
Eventually, the ships had dropped anchor and the warriors started to jump onto the white sandy beach of the island one after the other. The moment they landed, a strange surge was felt through them.
"Now that we know others are here, it's important that we are the first ones to find this item."
Krynic and Gelgar nodded, but there were a few more preparations that were being completed before they headed in. They were heading in to reach for supplies on the ship. Some warriors would carry medical supplies, food, and Qi pills for whatever it was they would run into. "Do you really think this will be needed?" Krynic complained. "With all of us, we'll be able to explore the whole island in half a day."
"It was a precaution from the one from Alter," one of the warriors said.
Krynic turned his head to look at the strange man, who was wearing loose flowing clothing that was tattered and had a beard covering his face. He looked rough, like a person who had lived on the streets for a while.
"He said that we should treat this as a dimension with beasts here as well."
"Beasts?" Krynic replied. "Do you not remember what this island was like? Volcanic eruptions, whirling tornadoes, and constant lightning strikes going on day by day. If any beasts were to survive that type of weather and still be here, then who knows how strong they would be."
One of the scouting groups was walking across the beach, on the edge of the jungle-like area. It was then that he had come across what looked like a small bunny with white fur and red eyes, and a small horn on top of its head.
"Oh, there really are beasts here," the warrior from the Illumination Clan exclaimed. "I guess something this small to survive would make sense."
The beast turned its eyes to the warrior and opened its mouth, revealing its teeth. They weren't threatening, but it was a clear sign of aggression.
"What does a bunny think it's going to do to a middle-stage warrior like me?" the man smiled.
The bunny then bent its back legs and fired off from its spot. It launched itself in the air and with its horn ripped right through the man's chest. As it exited out from the other side of the body, on top of its horn was a heart that only thumped one more time before it stopped. They didn't realize it yet, but they had all landed on an island which would be hell to them all.
