Chapter 926
"Oh! A celebrity." Adrian stated as he recognizes Apolaki as he also took note of him during the Pandelympics.
"You took your time." Levin Cloud grumbled.
"You should have seen where I was trapped. I lost all cooldowns of my greatest skills. Anyways, we should be going now as there are still two more items." Adrian stated as he could see that the item Kabrakan is carrying sort of resonated with his energy wavelength.
"Thank you once again for helping us." Kabrakan stated.
"It is our pleasure as you have helped us as well. The people of Mahar Lika will always welcome you when you visit us again." Bao stated but then redirected his sight towards Adrian.
"How were you able to enter the formation without divine items, Champion of the Twin Gods?" Bao asked Adrian.
"The array formation shook for a split second. I managed to wiggle my way inside the barrier because of it." Adrian replied truthfully.
"I see. Thank you for giving us a clue. There might be another being that managed to get inside the hidden islands. We will need to be alert for the time being. Next time, please enter through the right path as there is a possibility of you tearing the array formation if you do not use the proper gates." Bao stated as he looked at some warriors. The warriors bowed and started to investigate if any other being managed to get inside the hidden islands.
"Noted as I will not do it again. We shall now be on our way as we will be quite busy." Adrian stated as he activated Dimensional Teleportation to open a rift in space and time. The four of them disappeared as they entered the rift.
"Were you not going to hold him down? He managed to enter without a divine item." Apolaki asked Bao now that they are no longer there.
"If he could traverse the hidden islands without the use of a divine item then even, I will not be able to hold him down. He also has the power of the Twin Gods with him which is why I acted as kind as possible. Thankfully, he was a demon that guards the realm which is why he is trustworthy." Bao stated.
The rift opened in the southern part of the eastern continent where no other people living. Upon seeing that no other people are nearby, they started planning the next thing that they needed to do.
"What are the details of the quest?" Adrian asked as he wanted to know where they at. Kabrakan explained the details of the things that they have done. He started with the documents they read to the fortune teller.
"I think we should go with the mermaid clan next." Kabrakan stated as they were debating where they should go next.
"We are already in the eastern continent and the mermaid kingdom is already just east of here. Our only problem is the fact that we need to enter the water. Can Kanlaon protect us underwater?" Levin Cloud asked.
"Kanlaon is not really that powerful right now." Adrian stated as he summoned Kanlaon who is yet to be level 100. Kanlaon have yet to regain his power as Adrian has yet to fully level him up.
"Well…there goes one of our chances in staying protected underwater." Levin Cloud stated.
"Why does Kanlaon feel powerful? I almost instinctively bowed down to him." Peridot stated.
"He evolved into a Genesis Dragon that is said to be the ancestor of all elemental dragons." Adrian revealed which made Peridot bulge her eyes as she could not believe it.
Even the Ryujin revere the Genesis Dragon for their beauty and power as they are what Ryujin\'s aspire to be. Ryujin might be able to manipulate the elements but they themselves are not made up of the elements that they manipulate. You can say that Ryujins are dragons that have great mastery of manipulating the elements but not making them with the use of their innate mana.
"Anyways, how are you going to be able to breathe underwater?" Adrian asked Kabrakan and Levin Cloud as they are not really beings that can do activities in the depths of the ocean or sea.
"I have a solution. We just need to get mermaid scales." Peridot answered as she already snapped out of her shock. She managed to easily get back to reality that this was Adrian she is talking about. She engraves it in her mind that it is not impossible for her friend to create a Genesis Dragon.
"Mermaid Scales? Where are we going to find that?" Kabrakan asked.
"Easy. We are going to hunt a mermaid." Peridot replied but the three of them looked at her with great scrutiny.
"If we attack a member of the mermaid clan then we are basically announcing that we are their enemies. Mermaids are not like what they are presented in movies or series that we watch on television. They are fierce warriors that also eat the flesh of other people. They also like to hold a grudge against those that attack them." Kabrakan stated.
"Not to mention, they are notorious for loving to drown land dwellers. It seems that they like to torture those that cannot breathe underwater. They are psychopaths that enjoy the sight of asphyxiation." Adrian added as he already knows the basic tendencies of the mermaid clan from the elders.
"We can just buy the mermaid scales, but they are pricey." Peridot stated as he looked at Kabrakan.
Kabrakan noticed that Peridot looked at him, but he told her that he no longer has any funds. The fortune teller ate up all the extra money that he could use. She could only sigh as she knew what Kabrakan is thinking.
"We can actually obtain something that is similar to a mermaid\'s scale but with a timer. I think a reward is given to those that can give a master chef fresh fish. It is called the Breath of the Ocean. It is an item that lets the user breath underwater for five hours." Adrian stated as he read something like that in the forums and he also started to look for the post.
"What kind of chef can give casual items that let you be able to breathe underwater?" Levin Cloud asked.
"A master chef that has the Alchemy King as the prized customer." Adrian replied as he found the post.
The quest is located in the eastern continent as well, but the location of the restaurant is in Kunlun. The thing that they need to give the master chef is a fresh fish that is not damaged in anyway. It must be fresh and still a bit lively when it is brought to Kunlun.
"It seems that the number of pills that one can get depends on the type of fish that we deliver. If that is the case, then we should give them the Rainbow Trout." Peridot stated but Adrian looked at her with admonition.
"A Rainbow Trout is a legendary tier fish that cannot be found unless a rainbow is in the horizon. Even if there is a rainbow, there is still a small chance that it is available in the waters." Adrian replied as he read something like that in the bestiary of the Ryujins.
"If it only a rainbow then I am here. For the search, we have you and me for underwater while the two of them will catch it when it jumps. We must make sure that we catch it before it transforms into an Imoogi. Well, an imoogi is still a delicacy here but a Rainbow Trout rarely transform into them." Peridot stated.
"Isn\'t an Imoogi a lesser dragon? She is already expecting too much of us. Let us just get a Great Finned Tuna instead. We will never find a Rainbow Trout that transforms into an Imoogi anyway." Adrian stated with certainty, but he did not know that he jinxed it.
A few moments later, the three guys are currently holding down a monster that is in the verge of transforming into a great sea serpent. It was none other than a Rainbow Trout that wanted to climb a waterfall located near a cliff on the sea.
"I did not mean for this to happen!" Adrian stated as it was his luck stat that started all this fiasco.
[Your luck stat as affected the probabilities of rare species appearing.]
[The double rainbow increased this probability even more.]
As soon as the two notifications appeared before them, a rainbow trout jumped out of the sea and started to climb the waterfall.
