Ghost Island (1)

Iron stared blankly at the sky. Based on the unimpressive notifications from earlier, it seemed like his charm was quite appealing.

He could see lightning constantly pouring down from the cloudy sky. The sea water rose from the swirling tornadoes and the rough waves fluttered from the storm that poured rain on them. But the ship that he was in was completely safe from the tumultuous storm. Silence pervaded around them. It was as if they were in the eye of the storm with how silent it was.

And all of this was thanks to Iron’s unique ability ‘Bird Doctor’. It was only a half-complete divine beast ability limited to ‘birds’ but it seemed like it was more powerful because it was only focused on one species. His ability would also become greater the stronger his divine power became.

In the past, his divine power was too insignificant that his power level was halved. However, it seemed like he had already passed the threshold since he could express his power properly now. This was especially true after he signed a contract with Phoenix and Two Moons had regained its full power. Iron still did not feel much since his divine beasts were sealed but in fact his divine power was rapidly increasing by the day.

And because of his ability and his tremendous affinity with birds, he was able to reach the thunderbird.

“Amazing.”

Lintel looked around in awe.

Lightning rained down while tornadoes and whirlpools rampaged all over the place but none of them affected the ship as they passed by safely.

In fact, the storm of lightning, tornadoes and whirlpools were so dangerous that even the main fleet and the White Whale’s ship had to hesitate and step back than risk it and enter the area. The only reason why there was less lightning on the White Whale’s side was because someone was taking care of it.

“Was it this close?”

After leaving the stormy and chaotic area behind, Ghost Island appeared from afar and greeted them. ]

Ghost Island was already a gloomy place because of its moniker but the black fog that surrounded it and made it even more dreary and gloomy clearly showed the effects of the dimensional crack.

“I think there are already dimensional fishes.”

“I know. It’s worse than the one in Black Forest, right?”

Iron sighed and nodded his head when he heard Lintel’s words.

“Yes. If it has expanded to that size already then the possibility of higher beings having crossed over is extremely high.”

“That’s the worst.”

Everyone turned to look at Ghost Island silently while Lintel smiled bitterly. Almost all of the troops from the Northeastern Army that came to the East had already experienced the dimensional crack in the Black Forest. They were all sick and tired of the void insects. So, when they saw the dimensional gate already expanded up to that point, they couldn’t help but tremble at the thought of dealing with countless void insects once again.

“I don’t think we can handle this by ourselves?”

Carl Gustav stared silently at Ghost Island after hearing Lintel’s question.

Although there was only one ship, they still did not lack power since the ship had carried the elites of their region. However, they weren’t clear about the power of the opponent who completely opened the dimensional gate.
