Chapter 179: Era·Waves·Rising Surge

This was a scroll that required the infusion of source power to be used for teleportation.

Moreover, the more abundant the source power infused, the farther the teleportation distance.

It was highly effective for hiding and fleeing over long distances.

"Time to leave." Gune's gaze swept across the small密室, and he said softly.

After injecting a large amount of source power into it and gently activating it,

a "hum" sounded.

Accompanied by a faint fluctuation of spatial essence,

Gune vanished from the small密室.

……

Gune had chosen the time of dusk.

At this hour, the dim light made it hard to be detected.

Moreover, the direction Gune selected was a relatively remote suburban area, making it even less likely to be seen.

"Hum!"

As the faint sound faded beside Gune's ear, he quickly looked around.

The spot where Gune landed was a grove beside a quiet dirt road, overgrown with weeds.

Using his source power vision to scan the surroundings, he only saw a few carriages passing by on the road at the end of the path.

Confirming that his trail had not been discovered, Gune changed into a very ordinary gray robe cloak.

He took off his top hat and pulled the robe cloak over his head.

The transformed Gune was now completely different from before.

However, one thing remained the same: beneath the outer garment was the fully activated mithril magic gold chainmail, which boasted astonishing defensive power.

Afterward, Gune headed toward the city proper of Sugg Ruins City.

Gune was in no hurry to leave Sugg Ruins City now.

After the last reincarnation,

Gune's own realm was still at the mid-to-late second stage.

Moreover, he had only just obtained many spell tomes and extraordinary equipment.

More importantly, it was currently the depth of winter, and setting sail was hardly a good choice.

Thus, Gune's plan was to leave Purple Magnolia Castle, find a secluded inn in Sugg Ruins City, and quietly level up and enhance his strength while comprehending the "World Essence."

After all, with his changed appearance, no one could recognize him.

And when powerful individuals with abilities like divination, deduction, or scrying tried to spy on Gune, the result they would most likely get was that Gune was still inside Deep爵 Castle.

He would wait for spring to arrive and the snow to melt before taking a train to the eastern coast, "Harutov Seaport."

"Harutov Seaport" was one of the most famous seaport islands in the northern territories.

It was also a gathering place for numerous超凡者.

Compared to the borderland Sugg Ruins City, Harutov Seaport was a truly prosperous place.

"There weren't many battles in Sugg Ruins City. Once I'm at sea and have my own sea demon ship to plunder those vicious pirates, battles will be endless."

"I won't reincarnate for now. At the same time, I must潜心 comprehend the World Essence. After the last reincarnation, my talent has improved considerably, and I can feel the fluctuations of the World Essence more clearly."

As his strength gradually grew, Gune came to understand more and more.

"Rune Essence" was the power that could most fundamentally change the nature of a超凡者.

……

More than ten minutes after Gune left Deep爵 Castle,

in a residential area just one street away from Deep爵 Castle,

inside a room where the curtains were always drawn tight, day and night, leaving the interior pitch black,

a "creak" sounded.

The bedroom door on the side opened.

A man in a blood-red shadow cloak moved with ease in the darkness.

"That Gune hasn't come out for four days. And four days ago, those two超凡 masters,尼格尔, both came, and the seventh-stage超凡 master who was secretly protecting Gune has vanished without a trace."

"I suspect that Gune has already fled."

The man's voice was not loud, but it was enough to reach every corner of the room in the dark environment.

After the man's words fell, half a moment later, a caster in a blood-red robe cloak with a死神 scythe embroidered on his chest, sitting in a corner of the living room sofa and completely shrouded in darkness, finally moved hoarsely.

Accompanied by a rustling sound,

the divination caster dropped a handful of copper coins on the table. These twelve copper coins were not ordinary copper coins; each one was an extraordinary item that emitted a faint dark-golden glow in the dark environment.

As the extraordinary copper coins fell, they quickly converged into an arrow.

The arrow pointed precisely at Purple Magnolia Castle.

"Gune has not left," a hoarse voice sounded softly.

"A seventh-stage超凡 master is not something we can contend with. Rushing over would be a futile sacrifice."

"We only need to wait quietly. That Gune will eventually come out. This is also the guidance given to us by the divination ritual."

After the hoarse voice fell into silence, the man in the blood-red shadow cloak went to the window.

His eyes gazed deeply at Purple Magnolia Castle shrouded in the night.

"Hmm?" The man in the blood-red shadow cloak caught a faint glimmer.

Then, he looked up at the sky.

A meteor shining with the luster of a brilliant star swiftly streaked across the sky.

……

"Hmm?"

Under the cover of night, Gune, who was walking, sensed something and looked up at the sky.

In the deep night sky,

a dazzling meteor with a star-like luster and a beautiful tail swiftly crossed the sky and fell toward the depths of the eastern ocean.

Gune stood there in the night,

quietly gazing at this meteor, which was as brilliant as a star gem.

"Hmm... this meteor feels very strange, as if there is powerful energy within it."

"Falling eastward... into the deep ocean?"

"If so, then this year's deep sea will probably be exceptionally exciting."

Gune said softly, gently rubbing his fingers.

"This is truly something to look forward to."

Soon, Gune's figure disappeared into the depths of the outskirts of Sugg Ruins City under the cover of night.

……

The meteor with a star-like luster swiftly crossed the sky and fell into the depths of the ocean.

Under the night sky, a huge sea demon ship floated gently on the sea surface with the waves.

This sea demon ship was half completely submerged in the water and half floating on the surface.

The超凡 sailors on board were all dead drunk.

Some slept in hammocks, some slept in corners hugging sacks of gold,

and some simply lay sprawled on the deck, sleeping.

The sea breeze, which was not particularly warm, was nothing new to these超凡 sailors who had been drifting at sea all year round.

Today, they had won a great victory, taking out three "half-sea demon ships."

Not only had they obtained a large amount of "sea demon tree planks," but they had also looted a vast quantity of gold coins, sea wine, and food.

Tonight's revelry had left every超凡 sailor well-fed and drunk.

Moreover, the several female超凡 sailors who had been captured allowed each of them to vent the devilish desires in their hearts.

At the bow of the sea demon ship,

a blue-haired youth who looked only a little over twenty, wearing a pirate captain's hat,

kept his gaze fixed on the starry meteor until it disappeared into the depths of the eastern ocean.

"The brilliant star-like luster also reveals a holy glow. Is that an angel from above the stars?"

"Caspé·Sea Dragon," whose face was rough and angular from years of sea wind, murmured softly.

"The Aenor Maelstrom south of the Southern Black Magic Sea has already churned for over a thousand kilometers."

"Some seals on the seabed are also stirring restlessly."

"I can even faintly hear some whispering calls."

Saying this, Caspé·Sea Dragon rubbed his brow.

"Isn't it just that I used my talent to trick that devil out of one of its hearts? That guy still holds a grudge against me."

"My dear old father, who died under my blade, was probably right."

"The era of upheaval in this world has come. This summer's ocean is bound to get interesting."

Caspé·Sea Dragon looked toward the distant ocean.

There, the darkness and deep mist were impenetrable, but the waves surged and churned within.
