Tyrant 169 Oceanic Exploration

"Is she going to eat me"

"NO! Mama won't let her"

"With that little strength… I want to see you stop me" said Elune while reaching towards the little girl.

A few Wards came out pretty fast from the Barbarian Woman but they were immediately melted by the Baleful Aura around Elune hands.

Everything happened so fast that the Barbarian warriors didn't have time to react at all, Blaire was a little flustered but she was still able to attack with her spear while grabbing the pixie and jumping backwards in one fluid motion.

Elune followed with a spell and an incredible cold wind passed through the Barbarian warriors standing around and went straight for Blaire and her little daughter but Rahz's voice sounded through, "Stop teasing them, she is practically your niece...Long time no see Blaire"

"Rahz?"

The people that knew Rahz after his first evolution found it hard to recognize him once he gave up the power granted by the gods but that was not the case for the people of the Elite Team who knew him when he was just a kid.

"I am back"

"Ha! I see you didn't get rid of that smelly girl"

"Let's not poke the beehive, Is Bhirl around?"

Blaire wanted to say something else related to Elune but she understood from the little exchange that she was far from being her opponent and she didn't want to be embarrassed in front of the village warriors.

The Barbarians respected the strong and as the wife of the village chief, she wanted to avoid having to defend her position against all those hoodrats that wanted to be with her husband, if they thought she was injured somebody was bound to make a move.

"He is at the Town Hall with the Elders… sigh...welcome Back"

The team followed Blaire towards the center of the village and even though the Houses still were made out of wood, the construction was a lot more intricate and the size was on a completely different scale.

"After the war with the Frostwolf Clan and with the help of Mayor Pryleus, we started to rebuild and expand. The villages around us felt threatened by us and took the initiative to attack but we quickly beat them and absorbed them into what you see now, Helgahvall is now the only village all the way to the north sea".

Blaire walked Rahz and the others all the way inside the town hall where at least 15 people of various age and races sat around while Bhirl sat at the head of the group and was listening to a 7 ft tall humanoid that look very much like a manatee standing up that was talking about the new king of the sea that have been hunting their fisherman.

The meeting was interrupted by Rahz's group and the gazes of all the elders turned in their direction, the lack of satisfaction could be felt in their auras that had enough power to cause a weak person to faint but for Rahz's team that had been baptized by the Killing of thousands of people of the third tier during the Tempering War it felt like a tickle.

Remulos was quickly single out as the strongest due to his size, he stood 10 ft tall and it was a very unusual creature even in the Abyss let alone in place where Helgahvall was located.

"Bhirl, guess who is back to see you"

Bhirl was huge when he was a kid and now that he was a young Adult, he was massive. Bhirl looked like a super heavyweight fighter but if people thought they could beat him with speed they would be sadly mistaken. On his face, there were a few shamanic tattoos created by Elder Bear using the blood of second tier beast and Bhirl's beard was rivaling Jazz. The fur on his body was no longer the Kobold one made by Rahz's mother but one from a frostwolf, a symbol that he had been accepted as the leader of the Orc Clan.

Chief Mogho was also in the meeting and the first to lay his eyes on Rahz, he immediately remembered the red aura and the face devoid of feelings that reaped the life of his clan members away and his face pale a little bit.

Rahz disappeared from his spot and reappeared close to Bhirl, "It has been a while"

"Rahz?"

Nod

"Ha ha…" Bhirl laughed while he moved in and tried to put Rahz into a bear hug but he soon found out that his hands were avoided with the tiniest of movements.

For Everyone in the room except for the members of Rahz team, it just looked like Bhirl hands were passing through a ghost and the floor cracked under the momentum generated by the hug.

"Good… good... Everyone! our problems are solved"

Rahz was a little confused about the whole situation but then he was shown to a seat and the whole problem was explained to him.

A year prior to the meeting, the North Sea started changing in a very drastic way. The marine life got a huge spike in levels and really strong creatures started appearing and attacking the Fishermans from the manatee looking village and even the Iron Harpoons delivered by Helgahvall couldn't do any damage to the new beast.

The new beast roaming the waters started to push the fishermans back towards their own shores and lately they started using Water Element manipulation to Generate Tsunamis that devastated the coast displacing the Sea Village.

The main enemy seemed to be a Megalodon Shark whose teeth could go through Iron Armor and could swallow people whole. Other fisherman also testified that there was also another high level beast that had 8 massive tentacles that could crush big ships in seconds, the situation looked bleak but at the same time it was a great opportunity for Helgahvall to get the treasure in the bodies of this ancient creatures.

The problem that they faced was definitely the lack of information on other possible threats that could appeared during their fight with the boss level creatures.

Rahz understood the situation perfectly but he knew that killing the sea creatures was just a temporary solution and they needed to find the root of the change in the creatures.

"No Problem, leave this task to us" smiled Rahz to the elders that were flabbergasted.

"Wait a second! The Atlantus tribe was the one that discovered the phenomenon and have been hurt the most throughout this whole incident and the body of this creatures is very important to us, what about all the corpses"

"You can have the bodies, they are of no use to us. We might take just a little bit of the meat to eat, we have never tasted creatures of the sea. We will be ready to head there in a week".

….

In the meantime Jazz found one of the old elders seating at the meeting that seem to be Oblivious to what was happening, the elder seem to just care about the smoke he blew up into the air like he was in a trance.

"What you got there Buddy...Here! this is a lot better, it's going to put some hair on your chest"

Jazz put a Mug with Ale on the Elders hand and took the pipe and inhaled a couple of puffs.

Cough … Cough

"What is this? You need some better herb man this is garbage" .

Without noticing what was happening, the perception of Jazz changed and he felt like he was floating in the air and he was made of the smoke he had just breathed out. Jazz was Ethereal and time seem to be non existent at the moment, he could see himself observing the smoke in the air without moving a muscle but his eyes were totally white and there seemed to be a swirl of smoke inside.

Jazz blinked once and he was back in his body but he could see that the shape of the smoke had change into that of a man with a turban in his head and a long mustache like the monopoly guy. Jazz wanted to yelled at the figure but no words came out, the smoke changed shape one more time and a sentence was written, "the second piece is in the North Sea".

Jazz! Jazz!

Jazz woke up and looked at his hands but there was no pipe and all the elders were already leaving including the old skinny guy that turned around and had a sinister smiled on his face.

"What happened?"

"Nothing, you seem to be spaced out for a second. The meeting is over, Bhirl is going to bring us to my old place".

"That pipe is weird, I saw Balthazar... my second avatar piece is in the North Sea"
