Chapter 200 -187: The Secret of Soul Nourishment

The battle outside the Royal Palace raged on for a day and a night, until the combat shattered large chunks of the ground, turning the original plaza into a massive pit, allowing seawater to start seeping in from the location of the Inner Sea.

The battle, which had originally been evenly matched, finally yielded a victor.

Airel’s Ghost Ship sailed on the shallow lake, while Arthur Laine was guarding the seal and couldn’t move an inch.

Then there was that earth-shattering strike from the Ghost Ship which sent the seawater surging higher than the Royal Palace.

Amberser did not just stand by and watch; he successfully convinced the entire Fury Tide Kingdom, and in the final battle, the Fury Tide Legion launched a powerful thunder attack.

Together, they finally shattered the Heroic Spirit of Arthur Laine.

Having witnessed Arthur Laine’s prowess firsthand, Amberser understood that the descriptions in the poems were no exaggeration – having withstood for seventeen hundred years, whether Arthur Laine founded the Laine Empire or not, he truly deserved that praise.

The power of the Holy Light was exhausted, and the seal was completely ineffective. What was once the size of a hair strand, the crack now became sprawling pieces of shattered space, which completely broke apart when Aige reached her hand in.

Aige took out a sandglass that was shimmering with light.

The Time Artifact of the Magic Dragon Tyrant was finally in her hands.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Aige stood atop the mast of the Ghost Ship, looking at the people of the Fury Tide Kingdom.

But in reality, she was looking at Amberser, disguised as Monger Greyriver.

The battle hadn’t been intense before, so she hadn’t had time to contact Amberser. She just believed that Amberser would not betray her, and hence she waited for that thunderous strike signifying cooperation.

But now that the Divine Artifact was in hand, she wondered how the Lich would continue the act.

The attention of the Fury Tide Kingdom was also shifting onto Amberser.

Amberser did not disappoint the onlookers, walking towards Aige with a heroic, sacrificial air.

In the eyes of the people of the Fury Tide Kingdom, Amberser was staking his life on the line.

This was a powerful Undead who had just destroyed half of the Royal Capital; Undead lack humanity, and here was General Monger Greyriver, daring to approach the enemy alone – how courageous must he be?

Many asked themselves if they could be as calm as him even with such a substantial military force supporting them from behind – likely not.

Look at his steadfast strides, and his composed expression. They had previously thought that this great general’s reputation was somewhat inflated, but today, seeing his courage, they felt he truly deserved all the accolades he had received before.

Airel was among them. Previously, she looked down on the weak Monger Greyriver, but these past few days, she had completely changed her opinion. A man does not necessarily need immense strength; wisdom and courage that can turn the tide of a situation are more precious than fists.

Fury Tide Kingdom was missing just such a talent.

This was also why both father and daughter avoided talking about their duel; their conflict had dissolved, rendering the duel meaningless. A duel without the will to fight was just a desecration of the Deity.

Amberser could feel everyone’s eyes on him, but he was unfazed.

Liches are formidable like that; without a face to worry about, they’re impervious to pressure, completely unaffected.

Amberser walked to the edge of the newly-formed lake, used Traceless Step, and teleported directly onto the ship, an action that made everyone sweat for him. Getting close was not enough; he had to board the ship too, putting his life truly in someone else’s hands. Even if the kingdom wanted to save him, it was probably too late.

Aige, seeing Amberser appear on the ship, whispered, “How should I act? Slap you and send you flying? How exactly did you persuade the Children of the Storm to assist me?”

Amberser hurriedly said, “Please don’t, we’re here to negotiate. Fury Tide Kingdom wants to make peace with you. As long as you agree not to raid their ships anymore, Fury Tide Kingdom is willing to offer compensation.”

Aige said with curiosity, “Are you really intending to broker a deal for them? The Divine Artifact is already in our hands, we can just leave now. With what little Fury Tide Kingdom has, they can’t stop me.”

“Captain Aige, this is exactly what I wanted to discuss with you. The Silent Night Pirate Group doesn’t really have a deep grudge with Fury Tide Kingdom, do they? After all these years, you’ve been winning. Fury Tide Kingdom has lost countless people trying to eradicate your gang, even two kings have died, but the Silent Night Pirate Group still thrives. If worst comes to worst, you just sink into the sea depths – a trick that’s nearly unbeatable.”

“No grudge to speak of. It’s just that my true form is a pirate ship, so plundering became a habit,” Aige said nonchalantly.

Influencing Fury Tide Kingdom for a millennium, causing untold deaths and injuries – but for Aige, it was just a habit, like some personal preference. The concept of the Undead is uniquely odd, completely incompatible with the living; with the passage of time, many things become trivial.

“That means we can talk, Captain Aige. You mentioned in the chat group before that the sudden reappearance of the Society President means something big is about to happen; possibly a reenactment of the Divine Wars a thousand years ago. By then, it won’t just be the continental nations affected, but likely overseas regions as well. Since I got hurt on your behalf this time, I ought to do something.”

“Fury Tide Kingdom can become an ally, at least we can utilize their strength in the upcoming chaos among the deities. You don’t have to give anything, just nod, and I will handle the rest.”

Amberser had always avoided direct confrontation with Fury Tide Kingdom, not wanting Aige’s side to suffer too much damage. What he hadn’t anticipated was Arthur Laine being so outrageous, sealing his soul into the defense, becoming a guardian Heroic Spirit, and remaining so formidable after seventeen hundred years.
