The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse Chapter 1683: Three Elemental Sea
Previously on The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse...
Kaden didn’t immediately fly over the sea. He moved a few meters away from the Bone Ash Valley to see if the gravity in the surroundings only affected the Bone Ash Valley or the Three Elemental Sea.
After moving a couple of meters, the message he had been waiting for finally appeared...
[You have left the Bone Ash Valley]
At once, Kaden felt the pressure bearing down on him lessen until his body felt several times lighter.
’Finally.’
He reached into his soul sea and pulled out the Demon Bead. Then, channeling his energy into it, he opened the gateway, allowing his friends and wives to walk out.
The moment they appeared, every last one of them became tense for a moment. But then they relaxed and turned to Kaden.
"Congratulations, Jane," Kaden said, looking at Jane, who had now become a bit taller and more powerful just by looking at her.
She had gone from a True God to a Universal God, and aside from her Star Map class, she now wielded a powerful forbidden flame element.
Aside from that, her bloodline had mutated to give her a more elemental look. Her hair was now crimson and much longer, and while she retained her petite physique, she seemed much more mature, almost like someone in her early twenties.
She had dark eyes, and a tattoo of a Flame Griffin was visible on her forehead. She also had a short sword strapped to her back, and a crescent disc hovered behind her.
"Thank you, Big Brother. I am strong now, so don’t exclude me from fights anymore."
Kaden nodded and patted her on the head. "I promise I won’t exclude you from battles ever again."
Jane’s happiness put Kaden in a good mood, too. He turned to his wives and said, "Welcome to the Elemental Garden, ladies. This place is the Three Elemental Sea."
Nova, Stella, and Aria nodded, looking around them. They could see that on three sides, only the vast expanse of the sea lay before them, but on one side, there was a valley of ash and bones.
"Where is that place?" Aria asked, pointing in the direction of the Bone Ash Valley.
"It is a place called Bone Ash Valley. I arrived there, and let’s just say I am not planning on going back there ever again." The tone of his voice even showed he had no plans to go back there since waking up with almost all his bones broken tasted terrible.
"However, we are in the Elemental Garden, and let me tell you, this place is awesome. Killing beasts increases your elemental law and other law comprehensions as long as you have an affinity for them."
"Really?" Stella asked, looking more excited.
"Indeed. I have already experienced it firsthand, and so I think you all should prepare to become more powerful by the time we leave here."
He turned and looked at Franklina, who was already recording the space around them and Kaden, probably to make a killer documentary when she returned to the Primus Universe.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that she could not afford to pass up, even if they had yet to find a way out of this place.
Talking about getting out of here, Franklina turned to Kaden and asked, "Have you discovered a way to go back yet?"
Kaden shook his head and answered, "I haven’t yet, but hopefully soon. We are heading to a place where we will probably find some answers, so for now lets focus on surviving this place first."
She liked the reply, and so she returned to her mission, to capture and record everything she would experience here.
"So what next?" Nova asked,
"We have to travel east of this sea. I honestly dont know how long it is going to take, but I know it will be a couple of weeks and perhaps hundreds, if not thousands, of battles before we can make it across.
Thankfully, we have the Star Map with us, so we will soon know the kind of place we are and what awaits us." Kaden turned to Jane, who nodded and retrieved the star map.
She spread it open, and like always, the stars in the sky responded, drawing a map of the sea and beyond.
It took a few minutes, but eventually a map of the Three Elemental Sea was drawn, allowing them to finally decipher the nature of their surroundings.
"So, as big brother said, this place is indeed called Three Elemental Sea. However, as one might immediately think, the sea is not divided into three elements; rather, there are three kinds of elemental races in it. There is the Lightning Sea Griffen Race, the Water Dinosaur Whale, and the Ice Sea Mantis race.
But while this sea is one vast ocean, it has three levels, each with different currents and threat levels. Right now, we are in the outer level, where most of the beasts we will encounter will be within the god stage.
The deeper we travel, the more powerful the sea current becomes until we get into the Inner Level, where it will be even more powerful. That place is also filled with powerful god-tier beasts and Supreme ones.
The last level is the Core zone, where the horrors of the sea are located. Most of the beasts there are intelligent and vicious, and they rank from the Supreme to the Celestial stage. As to whether there are higher and stronger ones, we can only pray there aren’t any."
"How long would it take us to travel from here to our destination," Kaden asked, pointing at the eastern part of the map.
"If we travel in a straight line unhindered by any beast, it would take us a month. But we both know it is impossible, so we should plan for two months or maybe three.
Of course, we will pass through the inner and core levels if we are to go in a straight line. But we can detour and go around the Core level by travelling south first, which would take us half a year, maybe more, to reach our destination."
"Figured," Kaden sighed and processed the information he had received. It appeared things wouldn’t be as simple as when he travelled through the Bone Ash Valley.
The battles this time will be more dire and even ultra dangerous.
But if what Jane said is true, then they would each train their elements even more. He himself could train his lightning, water, and ice elements to the Absolute stage, allowing them to assume humanoid forms.
That would boost his power, and who knows if he might also gain some more understanding of the space, considering the current changes in each level.
This is promised to be a long and dire journey, but the rewards are something that he would enjoy.
"I think we should go in a straight line. That would allow us to fight more beasts," Void said, already pumped to fight and gain some experience.
While she won’t earn anything because she is a flame elemental, since she is connected to Kaden, naturally, her kills would go into strengthening his elements.
This works in Kaden’s favour, and honestly, he himself wants to see how much stronger he has become, so going in a straight line seems logical.
