General Freyer’s attack arrived with unstoppable momentum, then…KABOOM!Silence.To Elliot, deep silence followed for what felt like a long time, which was quickly followed again by an extremely loud ringing sound in his head.“…!” Elliot’s eyes widened amid the flash of bright light all around him.‘Is this death?!’‘Or perhaps, my Woodman soldier form didn’t die?’Elliot was shocked by the mere fact that he was still conscious at this moment. ‘What happened?’‘I didn’t die?’And this was when the words finally floated in.“Self-Created Woodmen Technique: Forest Shield of Armageddon!”Elliot’s eyes widened as soon as he heard those words, this instantly made him think back to the sound that just reverberated.‘That sound didn’t sound like what an attack of such level should sound like, it sounded more like it was blocked by something’.His eyes widened like saucers. ‘We are saved!’ He thought.‘Who?’Not only Elliot noticed it, every single Woodmen at this moment noticed it.Having
{Charlock…, well, what can I say? You’ve come a long way indeed.}{The last time I was in Woodtopia and I guess that was over a century ago, you were just one of the many brats who wanted to take Indigo’s position as the Great Sage of the Woodmen Civilization after growing up.}{I never expected you to be the one to fulfill your dream out of them all.}{I don’t know if you remembered my original identity, but just for bragging rights before a junior, lol, I was the single Lieutenant in the War God’s squad.}{I heard you guys no longer refer to it as Lieutenant, but second in command now, well that doesn’t matter anymore.{Greetings, Great Sage Charlock.}{Probably, this is the last time that I’ll be able to communicate with you all for a while. After what I did, I’m pretty sure that the Human Empire with their rigid protocol will kickstart an empire-wide investigation soon.}{I have no doubt that they already know there are traitors in here.}{But don’t worry about me, I know my way a
“What is your real identity and why did you come to land?”“Why did you come to the Ancient Forest of Gilmer?” The Great Sage asked as countless Woodmen eyes focused on Elliot.That question was a culmination of all that had happened till now.At this moment, there was a meeting of the higher-ups of the Woodmen Civilization led by the Great Sage himself and his new assistant, Shinobi Haze.After finally returning to Woodtopia, and after reading Shinobi Rage’s letter, the first order that Charlock gave was for them all to sleep and rest properly to recover from the exertion of their latest mission.A day later, he called this higher-up meeting.The way forward…, that was the reason for this meeting.During his alone time with the Great Sage, Shinobi Haze finally had the luxury to pose all his questions and suspicions about Elliot’s true origins.The Great Sage did not hesitate as he told him everything.He told him everything from what Elliot told them, to what they observed for themse
Officially, an alliance was created. Despite the innate trust that existed between him and the Woodmen Civilization after he helped them win their war, and after they saved him from the clutches of the Humans, Elliot still didn’t want to take any chances. This was why he took a measure that he learned some time ago. Staring at the Woodmen present, he asked. “Have you heard about the term, soul contract?” All the other Woodmen present reacted in confusion except 3, the Great Sage, Shinobi Haze, and Professor Clover. “I last heard that term used during Great Sage Indigo’s reign”. Charlock, the Great Sage smiled. “I also support it, let’s use a soul contract to bind this alliance”. Noticing the confusion of his subordinates, he smiled at them and started explaining. “The soul contract is an innate ability bestowed by the will of the world to enable organisms come to an agreement more easily”. “It binds us to our promise through our souls”. “Anyone who breaks the soul contract, the
There were 5 main advanced civilizations in Utopia that managed to grow so strong they became Empires, but they are not the only civilizations in Utopia. Utopia is a multi-racial world of multiple races. The only difference was that the other smaller races were not as strong as the humans, the Stargazers, the Atlanteans, and the 2 others. Among the countless smaller races in Utopia, there were the Elves. Elliot was shocked to discover that the Elven race could be described as a weak civilization in a world with a fantasy setting this unique, but it was the reality. Even better than the Woodmen, they were the blessed children of mana, with a high affinity for mana but their biggest problem was population. Even more than the Woodmen, they had problems with reproducing. Their numbers were the sole reason why they were not one of the Empires of Utopia during their peak, but even that peak of theirs did not last forever. The Ancient battle of 5 Civilizations was not a peaceful affai
It was just a month and a few weeks but to Elliot, it felt like a lifetime already since he left the surface of the sea to embark on his adventure on land.Perhaps, if he didn’t return to evolve his Flood Salmon form some time ago, he may have forgotten the sensation of the sea already.“Hehe,” He grinned as he stared into the horizons. “Finally, it’s time to go back home to the sea after so long”.This time though, he didn’t play any tricks.He dared not when Captain Hyacinth was staring at him with such keen eyes like an assassin that was sent to murder him.If he tried to fool her again, who knows? She may really murder him this time.This was the reason why Elliot allowed some of the closest Woodmen that he became close to during his time in the Woodmen Civilization to escort him.Led by Captain Aster and Captain Hyacinth, they escorted him. Of course, the other Woodmen who made this escort squad were Woodmen soldiers from both Woodmen Captains’ squads.Standing before the sea aga
Entering the surface of the Thunder Reef again after so long, Elliot felt his body become seized by the nostalgia of the moment.‘Damn…, it feels so good to be back at sea’. He sighed.He no longer hesitated.[You have activated skill: Dash!]Activating his skill again, Elliot felt even more nostalgia.He missed these moments, this was one of the greatest difference between living in the sea and living on land, the feeling of effortlessly gliding through the water by simply activating his dash skill.He missed this feeling.Bam!Elliot accelerated into the distance, effortlessly gliding in the familiar direction that he was familiar with and it did not take much longer for him to encounter something familiar again.Swimming through the water, he soon met a fish school.It was a school of Blue Tang fishes.“Hehe,” Elliot chuckled to himself.Again, this moment made him feel so much nostalgia, making him remember back in the days when he was still just a Dust Stage Salmon Fish under chi
“CHIEF!!!” Bonkers screamed excitedly.“You’re back!”“…”“…”“…..!”Even as the giant Salmon Fish in question grinned back at the Commander of the Salmon Fish clan, the others became frozen in shock.On the side of the Crocodiles and Crabs. ‘Chief? Who’s that?’As for the Salmon Fish, their eyes widened in shock. ‘Chief?’‘Is he the chief that everyone speaks so highly of?’‘Is he the one Commander Bonkers gush about every single day?’‘The greatest chief of the Salmon Fish school?’‘The great conqueror?!’All these thoughts went through the minds of the Salmon Fish within just a few seconds as instantly, every single one of them became hyperactive.Excitement and relief could be seen in their faces the next moment.“Chief!” They didn’t know the specific Salmon Fish who started it but as soon as he called after their Commander, the others followed.“Chief!” “Chief!” Chief!”Friendly reminder, this was a battlefield just a moment ago.The battle suddenly stopping due to the sudden arr
