The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker



Chapter 180: Hunting for the Forest Spirit Seed Part 18

It didn't take much longer for the gate to be finished by the Goblins.

As soon as it was completed, Kayn immediately gathered everyone to start preparing for their exploration inside the underwater cave system.

"Although you were against it, I've sent some men to explore the area first. Rest assured, I only ordered them to go as far as they possibly could and return immediately once they sense any danger nearby them," Gnarlak informs Kayn.

"As long as they return safely, that's all that matters to me," Kayn doesn't want to see any sacrifices from the already small number of Gnarlak's people.

Friedrich approached. "Kayn, we are ready,"

"Okay, let's begin,"

As soon as the gate was opened, Kayn and the others immediately jumped down from a hundred-meter height.

All of a sudden, a blue light covered Kayn and everyone else.

Kimberly cast <<Aqualung>>, which is a magic spell that allows anyone affected by it to breathe underwater for a limited duration of time. Depending on how strong the mage who cast the spell, the time limit would be affected.

Wasssh!

A series of loud splashing noises from the water was soon heard as Kayn and the others dived deeper and deeper into the dark waters of the underwater cave system.

Although it didn't take that long for them to finally see light.

Just like the case of the underwater cave in Springwater Canyon, illuminating stones that were imbued along the walls slightly brightened up the place. Nevertheless, it was more than enough to provide Kayn and the others with a vision of their surrounding.

As it was his first time entering the underwater cave system, Kayn had to keenly observe his surrounding and take note of everything. His experience is near to no use in this kind of place as each and every circumstance happens at random.

"Keep your eyes wide open," Friedrich quickly warns after their team saw an eel peacefully swimming by in front of them.

"Bolt Eel," Kayn mutters after recognizing the monster.

"Do you know that creature?" Cedric wonders. He had never met such a monster in his entire life.

"It's one of the deadliest species of monsters in this kind of environment. As long as it actives its lightning gift, it would instantly paralyze everything in a limited diameter,"

Annoyingly enough, the Bolt Eel was just circling around in front of them.

"One of Gnarlak's men said that there was a monster blocking their way to go any deeper, that's why they decided to abandon scouting farther ahead and had to retreat," Roshan mutters. "I guess this was the monster they mentioned,"

"Kayn," Friedrich looks at Kayn. "Do you know the best way to kill it?"

As much as they want to avoid fighting against the Bolt Eel since their main goal of coming here was to explore the place. Unfortunately, they can't because it is blocking their only path to further their exploration.

"The best way to kill it is with a long-range attack, preferably from a marksman, which aims to instantly kill a target. Unfortunately for our team," Kayn glimpses at Kimberly. "We only have a mage,"

"What's wrong with that?" Kimberly felt slightly annoyed.

"Don't get me wrong. I am not insulting you. I just want to know if you have any water element-related magic spell that can pull the same result as a marksman?"

"I don't," Kimberly shook her head helplessly.

"Then," Kayn looks at the Bolt Eel again. "Then I guess our remaining option is to engage with it in close range,"

"Here's the plan,"

Not long after, Roshan quickly swam to the Bolt Eel who seems to be minding its own business.

Because of the disturbance caused by Roshan, the Bolt Eel instantly notices a person approaching it. Without any hesitation, it shows its teeth before flapping its tail to engage with Roshan.

Just when the Bolt Eel was about to reach Roshan, it suddenly sense an unknown danger coming front its front.

Whoosh!

Dozens of vines went passed Roshan and shoot straight to the Bolt Eel.

Seeing the vines, the Bolt Eel immediately releases electricity in hopes of paralyzing it. In its mind, it thought that it was a living creature.

It was already too late for the Bolt Eel to realize that the vines were mere non-living objects as they already surrounded it.

In the next moment, the vines went for a swoop.

"Are you sure that it won't send another wave of electricity?" Roshan can't help asking Kayn who is swimming with him from behind along with the rest.

"It should be,"

"That response doesn't comfort me the least,"

"I wasn't intending to,"

Roshan bit his lips and along with the pain he felt was his arm swinging at a vertical angle to launch the first hit to the Bolt Eel.

Whiiizzzh!

Out of Roshan's expectations, the Bolt Eel sent electricity to his steel sword, which immediately paralyzes him. Albeit it didn't prevent him from swearing at Kayn by raising his middle finger with difficulty.

"Now!"

Whoosh!

Both Kayn and Friedrich wave their sword to create two sword waves that instantly made two deep cuts on the Bolt Eels' body.

As the Bolt Eel opened its mouth, a surging electric current was instantly sent inside.

"Have a taste of your own medicine!" Kimberly exclaimed as she launches an <<Electric Bolt>> spell.

Boom!

As soon as the electrical bolt entered the mouth of the Bolt Eel, its head instantaneously shattered into pieces.

"Great job everyone," Kayn applauded. He then looks at Roshan who was still paralyzed with his middle finger still raised to him. "Let's wait for Roshan to recover before continuing with our exploration,"

To tell the truth, everyone else actually knew what Roshan would be doing except for the latter himself.

In other words, it was a sacrifice, a necessary one on top of that. Albeit it wasn't something that could take away Roshan's life nor even pose a threat to his safety.
