Fantasy Family Simulator-Chapter 244: Seeking the Shock Sprite

Whether intentional or not, the outside world would eventually learn about this—within the Sacred Domain of the Kingdom of Jinlun, King Rem of the Kingdom of Ruim was assisted in repelling the invading Sacred Domain enemies.

In other words, he had to acknowledge this favor; at the very least, the surface-level courtesy could not be neglected.

"King Milan, I represent the entire Kingdom of Ruim in expressing our highest gratitude for your assistance this time!" King Rem's face was solemn as he looked at his counterpart with a somewhat sincere tone.

After all, the intelligence provided by the other party had been confirmed and undoubtedly proved to be a significant help!

Otherwise, had they been unaware of this information, according to the original plan, he would have had to take the Light Sacred Mage Posseus to secretly investigate the situation of the orcs outside.

Moreover, the Tower Master of the Circular Tower was said to be far away in the Kingdom of Jinlun, meaning that there was only one Sacred Domain expert stationed near the royal city. Given the formidable strength of the Blood God Sect Leader and his ability to evade most people's perception, encountering him during a period of weakness could have led to catastrophic consequences.

"You're being too modest. Our two countries have always watched over and supported each other. This small matter is nothing," Milan said with a smile, his face glowing with spring-like warmth.

Among those present, he was undoubtedly in the best mood! Although he hadn't captured the Blood God Sect Leader, he had seized the opportunity to inflict severe injury on him in the final confrontation. Even though the opponent's escape was rather peculiar, turning into a blood shadow and vanishing, this battle would likely dampen his spirits. Moreover, after this encounter, Milan had also memorized the opponent's aura, making it much easier to track him down if he dared to cause trouble within the Kingdom of Jinlun in the future.

It is worth mentioning that during the confrontation, Milan had deliberately used a destructive and grand spell to break through the hidden formation, allowing the outside world to see the true scene—he, the King of Jinlun, had helped the Kingdom of Ruim significantly...

Such intangible prestige had an undeniable effect on a ruler.

"To celebrate our victory, tonight, I will host a grand banquet at the royal palace. I hope the two esteemed guests will be able to attend," King Rem said with a smile, addressing King Milan and Mona beside him. Compared to the two kings and Heipas, Mona's strength was somewhat lacking, and she hadn't made a remarkable contribution in the recent battle. However, her presence alone could still serve to distract the enemy's attention.

"Ha ha, that sounds wonderful!" King Milan responded cheerfully. He was well aware that tonight's event was not merely a banquet; in such circumstances, not only would the gratitude be presented, but future cooperation between the two nations would also experience some significant changes...

Then, several Sacred Domain experts transformed into rays of light and flashed into the Royal City of Ruim.

Soon, many people in the city came out to clear the post-battle debris.

By nightfall, the Royal Palace of the Kingdom of Ruim was filled with a joyful atmosphere, with servants rushing around in a flurry of activity.

In contrast, the guarding knights were much more at ease. They only needed to maintain their regular patrols and be stationed at fixed points, without worrying about any disturbances. After all, with five Sacred Domain experts stationed here, who would dare to launch an attack?

At the end of the banquet, King Milan and King Rem had a private conversation, and no one knew what they discussed.

Afterward, King Milan's smile seemed even more pronounced, clearly having obtained satisfactory benefits.

That night.

The news of the Sacred Domain experts' attack on the Circular Tower and their siege by five Sacred Domain experts spread like a storm through the surrounding regions, and the speed of its dissemination was incredibly rapid.

While the insider details and more specifics were not disclosed, everyone already knew that the relationship between the Kingdom of Jinlun and the Kingdom of Ruim had surely reached a new level, marking a milestone in diplomatic relations between the two nations!

Ret, who was already aware of the external information, had now arrived in the Storm Sea.

He rode the Fire Spirit, avoiding one lightning bolt after another, with countless space-shaking aftershocks bringing gusts of wind.

Boom

Boom

The scene before him was a clash of thunder and lightning, with intense space tremors becoming clearer the deeper his mental power.

Ret recalled that the Blood God Sect Leader had likely received a severe lesson at the Circular Tower and was probably holed up somewhere to recover from his injuries.

In a flash of thought.

Ret once again dived into the Storm Sea, beginning his endless search.

The lightning in this extraordinary world came from space's frictional tremors. Ret felt the energy fluctuations within them, which, while not tolerable for ordinary people, mostly fell within the range of low-level magic. Some of the thicker and faster ones occasionally reached the power of intermediate magic.

Ret maintained a high level of concentration, using the Rock Light Shield to evade or counteract the lightning strikes falling on the Fire Spirit.

Crack

At close range, another azure-blue lightning bolt descended from the void.

Although Ret could react, the Fire Spirit couldn't, and its speed was insufficient.

Earth Spire Technique! The earth elements in the air quickly condensed into a sharp spike, striking the trajectory of the lightning.

Boom

The lightning was dispersed, and the elemental energy in the air exploded like brilliant fireworks.

Gazing at the alternating light and dark skies over the sea, Ret's pupils changed color intensely. After so many days of exploration and frequent space fluctuations and lightning flashes, he had a vague sense of understanding. He wondered if he could harness this power to summon thunder in the future...

Collecting his thoughts, Ret glanced around. He hadn't forgotten today's date—May 29.

Today was the day the Shock Sprite would appear, and he had to seize this opportunity!

It was still early morning, and the world should have been dark, but the frequent flashes of lightning made the Storm Sea often alternately bright and dark.

To avoid missing the sprite, Ret decided to open the system.

[Activate True Simulation? Each simulation day costs 1 Fate Point.]

"Yes, simulate one day."

Buzz～ A ripple spread before his eyes.

Knowing he had entered the simulation, Ret directed the Fire Spirit to accelerate towards the center of the Storm Sea.

With the wind howling around him, Ret's hair fluttered as if he were a man chasing the storm, exuding a brave and fearless aura.

However, Ret had no time to care about his appearance, focusing on sensing the most intense space tremors, determining the most likely location for the Shock Sprite.

Just ahead!

After half an hour of traversing through the thunder, Ret suddenly noticed that the tremors in the distance had abruptly normalized.

Affected by this, he lost his target and could not discern where the tremors were most intense.

For a moment, Ret stopped the Fire Spirit, looking puzzled.

He had no choice but to resume aimless flying, keeping a close watch for any unusual occurrences.

At dawn, before the first rays of sunlight pierced the vast sea, a large wave suddenly surged on the surface.

Ret glanced over, and the next moment, a dazzling thunderbolt struck the sky!

The light arrived before the sound, enveloping Ret in a glaring white glow, followed by a deafening roar. Boom

A sound more intense than any Ret had heard in the Storm Sea exploded, causing his pupils to contract.

The spatial fluctuation was so rapid that he barely had time to react. It was only when the light covered the heavens and the earth that he vaguely sensed the intense tremor that had passed.

If the fluctuation hadn't been so strong, he might not have noticed it due to the lightning's extreme speed.

Crack.

The thunderbolt struck a hundred meters ahead, exploding into the ocean and creating a bottomless pit in the water, with violent waves scattering and black seawater spraying in all directions.

Staring at the briefly exposed vacuum below, Ret was stunned.

He thought, if he had been under that thunderbolt, he would have perished instantly.

The power was equivalent to advanced attack magic.

Though shocked, he wasn't too frightened. If he died, he could simply start over and find a more reasonable place to avoid it...

In fact, after the shock, Ret quickly looked around, intending to find signs of overlapping lightning.

He hadn't forgotten that in the simulation, the Shock Sprite appeared with multiple overlapping lightning bolts, and that thunderbolt was only a single strike. Moreover, if that thunderbolt had struck him, he wouldn't have been able to withstand it, only to be struck dead.

With the space now bright as day, Ret ordered the Fire Spirit to dive into the sea while searching for signs of multiple overlapping lightning bolts.

Suddenly, Ret noticed a continuous, peculiar shaking about thirty meters ahead. His expression changed as he realized it might be the prelude to multiple lightning strikes!

So, he immediately commanded the Fire Spirit to head there, aiming to reach the surface before the lightning erupted!

Boom

Boom

Boom

The lightning's eruption was faster than Ret anticipated.

Before he could reach the sea, three consecutive and frequent thunderclaps came from the sky. Each, although not as thick as the previous one, was still a rare sight in the Storm Sea.

The alternating light and dark space became bright once again.

Moreover, this tremor was not a normal spatial fluctuation; a special energy even invaded his mind.

In the next moment, Ret felt a daze in his mind, as if the spatial tremors had impacted his soul, making him difficult to control.

"Ugh..." Ret's face contorted in struggle as he held his forehead. He felt dizzy and the world around him seemed to spin.

Splash

He dived into the sea. At this moment, he couldn't afford to be shocked by the lightning, as he had to grasp the fleeting opportunity.

Even though he had closed his eyes in this state of discomfort, he felt his consciousness being shaken by the tremors, causing him to lose control of his surroundings and lose his sense of direction.

Soon, he found himself in a mysterious whirlpool. As he sank deeper, he realized this whirlpool led to a spiral, rotating and engulfing the water and space surrounding it.

Ret's spirit was at its limit, but he still tried to stay calm and analyze the situation.

He had been planning for so long. If he gave up now, he would miss the Shock Sprite forever...

Not far from where the lightning struck, Ret sensed an intense energy wave. He made one last effort to resist the whirlpool and continued his search.

With a crackle, a dazzling white light exploded above the whirlpool, and Ret saw the legendary Shock Sprite, a powerful creature that appeared with overlapping lightning.

The Shock Sprite, which had revealed its form, was surrounded by overlapping thunder and lightning.

Looking at this awe-inspiring sight, Ret's mind was struck by a sudden realization—the Shock Sprite was not just any sprite, but one of the most potent elemental creatures!

Before Ret could take further action, he felt his vision blur and his body was violently pulled towards the Shock Sprite by the powerful energy. He could hardly control himself as he moved closer and closer to the sprite...
