The strong sea waves surrounding the island crashed onto the shore as the serpent roared.
Their boat was pushed away by the furious waves and was almost destroyed.
The water of the sea stomped on the surface of the deck like a heavy rain.
Angele stood by the helm and prevented the water from going into his eyes with his hands. The metal string he created helped him in standing still.
The whole boat was shaking, Angele was trying his best to keep the boat balanced.
The huge wave behind them was about ten meters tall that looked like an enormous blue wall and was about to capsize the boat.
Angele turned his head around and looked up into the sky.
The tall blue screen hovered overhead and its shadow covered the whole boat.
*BAM*
The water from the sea splashed onto the dock and started bubbling on the surface of the deck.
The mast of the boat was crushed into pieces and sank into the sea within seconds.
Angele did not block the water with the forcefield, so his robe was completely wet. It felt cold and uncomfortable; the water was also dripping down his hair.
"Are you ready yet?!" Angele used the energy particles to send his words to the stern, but the strange energy flow around the island was interrupting the message.
"Done!" Isabel responded after several seconds.
Suddenly, white light flashed upon the stern.
Starting from the deck, the water on the boat froze into ice quickly.
The cabin, the stairs, and the broken mast — everything was coated with the glowing ice.
The ice barrier was created by Isabel and it provided protection for the body of the boat.
The surface of the sea became peaceful after the wave dropped onto the boat. Angele tried to use the Fire energy particles to dry his clothes.
*ROAR*
However, the snake moved its body again before he could do anything.
Another enormous wave started rushing toward the boat.
The wave chased after the boat after pushing it forward a bit.
*BAM*
The water splashed on the boat again. However, this time, the ice barrier absorbed most of the damage.
The boat finally left the danger zone. Angele stood by the railings and surveyed the island. The metal strings returned into his body.
Isabel walked to Angele. There was a flashing blue magic circle under her feet.
Angele sighed. He felt relieved. "Can you keep the barrier up?"
Isabel nodded. Her robe was soaked in water, revealing her sexy body, but she did not seem concerned.
"The ice barrier will keep the boat stable. Any creature with an intention to attack it will take Ice damage. They’ll be frozen into ice cubes unless they have enough magic resistance."
"Range and duration?" Angele wiped the dirt off his robe and started drying his clothes with the Fire energy particles as steam rose from his body.
"I can keep it up for 15 days. After that, I need to recover my mentality. The range is within 50 meters." Isabel responded, "The spell should be cast on people… It’s my first time doing something like this."
Angele nodded. Without the ice barrier, the boat would not be able to survive the second wave. They both turned around and stared at the island that already turned into a small black dot in their sights.
"Only you and me now… I heard that Melissa and Ainphent already explored the ruin several times. Something must’ve surprised them this time…" Isabel shook her head. "Thanks for… helping me. Sadly, I didn’t find the heart of the tree for you. Don’t worry, I’ll ask my family to look for the heart, and I’ll send it to you if we find it."
She waved her hand, "Margarita, bring me the…" Isabel stopped after realizing there was no one around. The only two surviving followers still had not woken up yet.
Isabel’s expression changed. She looked depressed.
"What happened in the ruin? How did you get hurt?" Angele changed the topic.
Isabel hesitated for a second and then started explaining.
"We were trapped in the darkness. The only thing I could see was the stone staircase… We could only advance as the stairs behind kept disappearing. It felt like walking on floating stairs in a space without any light." Isabel lowered her voice, "After that, strange monster-like shadows appeared in front of us. They started attacking us from all angles, and no matter how many spells I cast, they never left…"
"Same thing happened to me." Angele rubbed his chin, not mentioning that he did not see any beasts.
"The tunnels were shifting. I thought I was around the entrance, but in the next second, I saw a deep dark tunnel in front of me. A few moments later, I somehow returned to the stone staircase."
"That’s just an illusion…" Angele’s brows furrowed.
"I thought it was an illusion too, but I almost died… and I’m sure those monsters hurt me directly," Isabel spoke with a serious expression.
She suddenly stopped and stared at Angele.
"Green, what’s your first name?"
"It’s Angele, why?" Angele answered.
"How did you get me out of the illusion? You helped me, right?" She shook her head again. "Never mind, I need some rest, I hope the room is not messed up."
Angele watched her walking into the cabin.
"I shall have some rest…"
Isabel repeated her words. She sounded exhausted.
