Chapter 808: Devastating news
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Sheyan remained quiet and smiled faintly at the inquiry of Melody's loyal elder.
Sonorous splashes of water erupted from the river as a titanic dark-blue tentacle stretched out. Yet instantly, two other larger, black tentacles brutally tangled in and pressed the first tentacle back into the water.
This was a tremendously astonishing scene to the onlookers. The colossus Paul displayed such terrifying might the he could unexpectedly use two tentacles to tie down Oceanfreak Moria that was larger than him. The tentacles continued erupting from the water, as the tussle extended to over twenty meters in radius.
Ocreanfreak Moria's tentacle waved frantically in the air, but finally unleashed attraction strength from its meter long large sucklers; tightly adhering to a rocky cliff by the edge of the river. The contractions of her tentacles smashed devastatingly against the solid-like-iron walls, and caused fissures to form immediately. Its plight of having its tentacles tossed around was certainly miserable.
At this moment, one could observe a shade of fluster and wariness in the half-meter large eyes of Oceanfreak Moria, as she stared intensely at her abrupt but indomitable foe!
Instead, Brother Paul slapped the water surface excitedly, as he raised two thick tentacles to form a 'flexing' gesture like that of champion bodybuilders. It was as though he was rudely parading in front of his opponent, wanting to fully convince her before persuading the flesh of the opposite sex.
"What powerful magic ripples!" Annenia Cyathea gasped in surprise.
Battle Ent Ferrell trudged forward and shielded the elves behind him. His current tree body wasn't his original wood body and wouldn't matter much if it was destroyed.
Right in front of Oceanfreak Moria's five tentacles that were sticking out of the water, five incredibly sharp glacic pillars had strangely froze. The glacic pillars shone with deadly brilliance and hinted of an impending death.
Reef whispered to Sheyan.
"Seems like this damned female octopus didn't exhibit its deadliest form the previous time we entered this world. Otherwise, the balrog would've been destroyed without a fight last time."
Sheyan sighed and replied.
"The mother octopus who had just given birth naturally couldn't display her optimal strength. Eh? What's Paul doing? Is he trying to resist head on?"
While the duo chatted, those five terrifying glacic pillars rammed straight for Paul. Instead, Paul didn't attempt to evade but directly unleashed a tyrannical hydro pump towards Oceanfreak Moria.
When the glacic pillars struck Paul, it seemingly failed to damage him one bit but instantly dispersed into light blue mist that froze Paul into an ice sculpture.
Despite so, Paul's ice sculpture state only persisted for two seconds before he shook free, shattering the ice. His two tentacles whipped down like mountains crashing into the sea as water lotuses bloomed around. Once again, Paul grabbed Ocreanfreak Moria and hurled her ferociously away.
"Oh, Paul looks as if he can fight ten at one go, and seems like he is immune to water element abilities....."
"Such brute force suffices in subduing his foe but can he win her affection?"
"Can't say for winning her affection, but occupying her flesh would be a simple affair."
"Right boss, shouldn't another male octopus, Oceanfreak Moria's husband, be emerging soon? Otherwise, how would we even get Oceanfreak Moria's eggs?"
"According to online sources, the Misty Mountains are near Moria, and there is only one monstrous beast, which is Oceanfreak Moria. Octopi have similar reproduction habits to hens, laying eggs even without a male partner. However, the eggs cannot breed the next generation."
"..."
The situation heated up as Oceanfreak Moria was evidently one who wouldn't admit defeat. She displayed an entire act of grand water elemental techniques for all to peruse.
Sadly, almost all peak water elemental skills ended in failure. Apart from causing the environment temperature to plummet several degrees, nothing was too hard for Paul to handle. The only effective water elemental ability was a rank 6 summoning of waterloids; three towering waterloids of 5-6 meters in height swarmed Paul maliciously, but were effortlessly swiped into vapour by a single tentacle from Paul.....
When the miserable Oceanfreak Moria was caught for the 'nth' time and violently slammed away, it released a melancholic hiss and wrapped itself with tentacles before curling up by the shore without moving; appearing as though it had resigned to the wonton wishes of its foe....
Paul slapped his tentacles against the water with ecstasy, before dragging this big-eyed octopus madam into the depths of the river. Once again, rhythmic ripples emerged onto the surface of the river.....
In the interest of saving time, I request readers to simply imagine the passions involved between two octopus...oh, this really requires an intense form of imagination!
Roughly an hour later, Paul slapped the water while swimming towards them in high spirits, while Oceanfreak Moria followed behind it like a docile, abused mistress. For unknown reasons, as Sheyan observed this scene, he subconsciously thought of Pan Changjiang striding arrogantly with a teary Fan Bingbing following behind his trail…...
Sheyan was all smiles when this affair concluded, it was akin to a boulder being removed from his shoulders. He strolled forward and greeted the passionate Paul by swimming to him. He even delivered a gift to Oceanfreak Moria afterwards – two fatty, clean, and alive male bulls purchased from Rivendell.
In lieu of the thoughtful gift and Brother Paul, Oceanfreak Moria's atittude towards Sheyan became evidently better. When Sheyan swam away, he managed to even shake 'hands' with the tip of Oceanfreak Moria's tentacle.
Since he created a favorable impression, Sheyan proceeded to call over Annenia and two other elves, who sneakily interacted with Oceanfreak Moria as well. With the children of nature beside him, interactions became fairly harmonious and smooth.
Brother Paul would soon automatically return to the caribbean sea world once the summoning effects wore off. Therefore, he wanted to seize the time to nurture this relationship with Oceanfreak Moria.
When the two gigantic octopuses once again tangled tentacles and submerged to the bottom of the river, Annenia and the two elves bowed humbly to Sheyan and left.
After everything settled down, Sheyan continued pondering by the river edge before abruptly asking Elder Desirese Roots.
"How many resources do we need to establish a permanent summoning array."
Elder Desirese Roots was slightly puzzled and dissatisfied with Sheyan acting so mysteriously. Still, he earnestly answered.
"We must see how frequent summonings will be, and what creature will be summoned."
Sheyan replied straightforwardly.
"Frequency.....probably once every three hours for a duration of an hour each. The strength of the creature is roughly similar to Mister Paul."
Elder Desirese Roots contemplated a little and responded.
"If you insist on establish that summoning array, I can supply the resources. However, we lack the heart of a stone giant, half a pound of Mirkwood's Wicked Wishcrow's fresh blood, three white cow horns, and one ruby. The array will last for a decade and only requires a change of ruby afterwards."
"Segimli, can you help me record down the elder's words?" Sheyan politely asked.
Segimli was currently stroking his wet beard and asked in shock.
"Why? Can you even read in the dwarven language?"
"Those items will be one of the next criteria in my trade with the Gimli clan. Apart from that, I also wish purchase high level magic artifacts that are suited for twilight elves, especially a Sunstrider. I can fork out the materials, but I shall request for a master blacksmith."
Sheyan sincerely answered.
"You will get those items my friend! The Gimli clan is pleased to service you." An elite dwarf warrior excitedly interrupted. This was an aged, old, warrior with a white beard. Nevertheless, his robust muscles easily surpassed the thighs of a young man.
Sheyan nodded with satisfaction and smiled.
"Should our cooperation be a success, I will bless the Gimli clan with another surprise."
"Oh?" Segimly asked curiously. "What surprise?"
Sheyan smiled without answering and turned to the elves.
"It is time we return. Lordess Twilight Elf is expecting our swift return."
The battle ent Ferrell intruded with a muffled voice.
"But Annenia and the two elves haven't returned."
"They are very safe, I needed them to leave." Sheyan laughed in response. "Don't worry, they are busy with something of paramount importance to Lordess Twilight Elf and us."
No mishaps occurred during the journey back. After numerous bitter defeats, the orcs no longer dispatched minions to give their lives in vain.
Three days after from departing Rivendell, the group once again entered this majestic elven kingdom. Yet before they could even rest for a drink, they received devastating news!
