Chapter 592 Chapter 592:- The Elven Priest
Harland grew more annoyed when he got no response from Aditya's ship. He hesitated to use the magic cannons, not wanting to damage the beautiful ship he had his eye on. But feeling disrespected, he decided to attack.
"Fire the magic cannons!" He ordered in a very tone. His voice was filled with anger.
One of the cannons fired, and a ball of fire, about the size of a football, shot out at an incredibly fast speed. The cannon itself burst into flames as the fireball launched, creating a massive burst of fire in front of it.
Bang!!!!
Aditya, who was standing on the deck of the ship saw the incoming fireball. It was racing towards him, a bright, fast-moving orb of flames. Everyone else at the breakfast table also saw the fireball approaching. Their attention is now fully on the situation outside. The girls weren't least bit worried.
They were watching while eating. This just showed how relaxed the girls were.
Aditya watched calmly as the fiery ball sped towards him from his position on the deck. Just as it was about to reach him, the fireball slowed down while its flames turned a deep crimson color.
Harland and his crew, watching from their ship, were utterly shocked. They couldn't believe what they were seeing. The fiery attack they had launched was now under Aditya's control.
The crimson fireball hovered in the air just a few meters away from Aditya. With a simple gesture, Aditya sent the ball of crimson flames flying back towards its source.
Harland's face twisted with fear and anger as he realized what was happening. "This is bad!!!" He muttered in a panicked tone. His expression became ugly.
"Quick, turn on the ship's protective shield!" He shouted to his crew while watching the Crimson flame ball approaching his ship. Aditya purposely slowed down the speed of the crimson flame ball.
But before the ship's protective shields could be turned on, the crimson fireball was already hurtling back toward them with unstoppable force.
The small crimson fireball neared Harland's ship and then something incredible happened. The football-sized fireball split into thousands of tiny, bead-sized balls of crimson flame. Everyone watching was filled with horror as the countless little fireballs floated in the air before Harland and his crew.
The entire sky before them had turned crimson. It was as if the sun itself was above their eyes. Standing on the deck of the ships, they could feel the terrifying temperature. Even the sweat of their bodies was evaporating rapidly, right before their eyes.
With a cold voice, Aditya commanded. "Die." He felt no pity for these pirates, who had hurt and killed so many others. In his eyes, stopping them was just.
There were no redemption qualities in these people. They did not deserve to die.
Each of the tiny crimson flames found its target, hitting every person on Harland's ship, except for Harland himself. The moment a fireball touched someone, they were instantly reduced to ashes. It happened in the blink of an eye. As soon as the flame touched them, their bodies disintegrated into dust. This was the fate of all of Harland's crew, leaving only Harland untouched in the midst of the destruction.
Harland was overwhelmed with fear. He stumbled backward and fell onto the deck. His body trembling uncontrollably. Sweat drenched his clothes as he looked around in sheer terror.
"Monster!" He gasped out. He began to crawl away from Aditya, then scrambled to his feet, running as fast as he could. He was desperate to escape. He was trying to get as far away from this terrifying figure as possible. Regret flooded his mind. 'Why did I ever mess with this person?'
But as he ran, Aditya suddenly appeared right in front of him, only a few meters away. Harland's heart felt like it had stopped beating. In a panic, he fell again, landing hard on the deck. He looked up at Aditya. His eyes were wide with the most intense fear he had ever felt. His breath came in short and he rapidly gasped, and his mouth was dry. His whole body shook like a leaf in the wind, and he couldn't seem to form any coherent thoughts. All he knew was fear, a deep, consuming fear that made everything else fade away.
Aditya had a gentle smile on his face. But to Harland, he felt the God of death was smiling at him. His body didn't stop shaking seeing his smile.
"I will let you survive if you answer some questions of mine." Hearing Aditya's question, Harland calmed down a little bit. He realized that he still could survive.
He repeatedly nodded his head.
"Perfect!!!" Aditya smiled before he asked. "Tell me, where the Dragon Grass will appear?" Since Harland was a native pirate of the northern region, he surely had heard about the Dragon Grass. Since he often roamed around the entire northern region, Aditya figured that he must know something valuable about the Dragon Grass.
"I don't know." This question was something that even someone like Harland did not know the answer to.
"Really!!!!" Aditya looked disappointed. "I guess then I will have to end your life then."
"Wait.....wait...!!!!"
"I have heard that the elven Priest in the Lionrock city is rumored to know where the Dragon Grass will appear. I don't know how much of this is true. This is all that I know about the Dragon Grass."
"Lionrock city?" Aditya has never heard that name before.
"It's a city that is located in the central region of the Beast Continent." Lilith somehow mysteriously appeared beside Aditya. Harland did not sense her presence until she spoke.
"I guess, then we will be heading to the Central Region." Although Aditya did not get a clear answer, now at least he knew where he needed to go. Instead of roaming around the beast continent, this was much better. Aditya was glad that these stupid pirates decided to attack his ship.
"Good job!!!! As I said before I won't kill you." Hearing this a relieved smile appeared on Harland's face.
However,
"But that does not mean that I am letting you go with everything." Hearing this, the relieved smile on Harland's face froze.
In the end, Aditya crippled Harland's Mana heart so that he won't be able to use his cultivation powers to bully others anymore. Harland was thrown to the desert with enough water and food to make it back to the nearest city if he was luck enough didn't encounter any magic animals of the desert.
The chances of Harland dying in the desert were already 90% confirmed. After all, there was no way that a crippled cultivator like him would survive in the desert at night times. At night times, all the magic animals of the desert come out to hunt.
Ad for Harland's wealth and his 11 desert ships, Aditya was going to keep them.
"Hehehe!!!! What a greedy King you are." Lilith giggled and said. She really liked this dominating side of Aditya.
"Well, I could have blown everything using a single attack of mine. But from the beginning, I wanted these 11 desert ships." As for Harland's wealth, compared to the vast wealth that Aditya had, Harland's wealth was like a tiny drop of water compared to the ocean. But that doesn't mean he was going to throw it away.
"Why do you want these 11 desert ships?" Lilith couldn't understand why he would need 11 desert ships when they already had one for themselves. Not to mention, the ship that they had was many times better than these 11 desert ships.
"I have a feeling that in the near future, these 11 desert ships are going to prove useful." Fortunately, Aditya somehow managed to put all the 11 desert ships in his storage ring. But he was done, he realized that his storage ring was filled. This was the first time that his storage ring had been filled.
Once they were back on the ship, Aditya made an announcement. "We are heading to the Central region. Our destination is Lionrock City in the central region. We are going to be looking for the elven Priest who lives there."
And so their desert ship began moving toward the central region. Unlike yesterday, today they knew where they needed to go.
Since everyone had no clue or zero lead about where the Dragon Grass was going to appear in this vast Beast continent, everyone felt that instead of aimlessly roaming around the whole Beast continent, it would be much better to head to Lionrock City and see if the rumors are actually true or not. Besides, staying in the northern region was useless due to the fact that this region was one of the hottest regions and also had the least number of population compared to other regions.
