Chapter 248
At last, after one whole day passed, Swain finally returned to Arthur .
"How’s the situation?"
Arthur questioned his servant without wasting time with pleasantries . He had been waiting for long enough and it was time to start acting, the other factions had already started their preparations, securing the citizens and bringing them to safe locations or even sending them to the Green-Leaf world with special means . They would do anything to continue their bloodline and ensure their survival, no matter the cost .
"The Demon continent is clear, they won’t attack it . Same thing for the Wasteland in the West, the Itas continent is corrupted by an evil aura, very ominous but apart from that, there is not a sign of Death Energy lingering there . "
"That means..."
Swain nodded and continued
"Yes, it’s the central Continent, the home of the Humans . It has an incredibly dense amount of Death Energy, I’m certain that all the beasts will only attack it... it’ll be erased from the map, turned to ash or forcefully sank into the ocean . "
"Where exactly will they strike?"
"All of it, they plan to devour it whole, leaving no trace of life . I’ve never seen such thick Death Energy clustered together . "
"Is there a chance they’ll attack the other continents once they are done with the Central one?"
Swain shook his head and replied:
"That, I’m not sure, however, my observations say that only the Human continent will be their primary, and most likely, the only target . "
Arthur nodded and waved his hand, teleporting himself, Swain and the undead army he summoned out of the cave . After sending Swain to tell the good news to the Demon Lord, Arthur abused the mass teleportation skill until he arrived on the Central Continent alongside his army .
Arthur opened [Eyes of the Noble Sea] only to see a grey, almost illusory fog, everywhere . It could be seen as far his eyesight stretches .
One of the reasons he didn’t use any of his available skill points is because he didn’t want to waste them . He already has powerful skills, so he never planned on spending them on his ancient flames or Dark Magic .
Just like there is a chance that’ll transform them into a more powerful skill, there is a chance that nothing happens, perhaps this is their maximum power and they can be upgraded no more .
One of the skills he wanted to invest a skill point on is [Eyes of the Noble Sea], it is a very unique skill that is very useful despite having no direct effect on the battle .
Is allows him to see any form of energy, moreover, it made him able to see through Amidel and traps or formations that were put to block his path, just like the one in the Kang Treasury House .
He needed to know where exactly will the Divine Beasts appear . [Eyes of the Noble Sea] already lets him see the form of the Death Energy, however, it is not as clear as Swain, it was kind of hazy and useless .
Death Energy is usually colorless and formless, only special beings like Swain, which have a direct connection to Death can see it, as far normal cultivators, no one could see it even with inborn special eyes .
[Eyes of the Noble Sea] is a skill he acquired from the corpse of the bone griffin in his storage . Apparently, Robin found it in a recently discovered mine North of the Eastern Continent . No one knows how it died and they could only store its connected bones as it had been a very long time since the Griffin died .
Arthur often uses the Griffin’s body since it’s extremely powerful and it has a strong affinity with the ancient flames, so his fire-related skills are more powerful if he uses them when he’s possessing the bone beast .
Now that the situation is critical, Arthur decided to try upgrading [Eyes of the Noble Sea], it may be a waste of a skill point to many, but he was certain that the result would be more than satisfactory .
Furthermore, he still had two more skill points available in case his investment ended up being a complete failure .
Are you sure you want to invest one Skill Point in [Eyes of the Noble Sea]?
’Yes . ’
As Arthur answered the robotic voice belonging to the system, notifications started filling his view .

’As expected, it is not a simple skill and that beast is no mere Griffin . ’
The skills he had gotten from the Griffin are very overpowered, not only did he obtain [Eyes of the Noble Sea], he also gained [Griffin’s Bloody Switch], which can change the outcome of the battle if he were to use it .
He wanted to try it right now and see what will happen if his Agility break through one billion but he held himself back . The skill consumes permanent Mental Power and he wasn’t in a situation where he can recover them anytime he wants, the closer he is the God Realm, the better . Even 50 Mental Power is useful and should not be used wastefully .
