Chapter 25: One Hit Kills It 5/5
“Huu~”
Night Lan let out a sigh of relief when she saw White Paint saved, displaying a content smile.
The capabilities of the Uncrowned Wanderer truly prove to be handy.
Powers related to space are just the most annoying no matter when they’re used.
Not only did it save White Paint from danger, but it also transferred the tentacle monster over a kilometer away, buying some precious time.
But getting fatigued from using it once is a downside, even White Yu Bai’s ‘Existence Interference’ doesn’t have this negative consequence.
Could it be due to the deprivation?
Seems like it can only be used in emergencies from now on.
Night Lan pondered.
Meanwhile, White Fish ran up and embraced her returning sister.
“Sister! I was so worried about you, if anything happened to you I would’ve been really heartbroken… No more risking your life…!”
White Paint gradually snapped back, hearing her sister’s teary voice, and gently stroked her head to comfort her.
“No need to worry, everything is fine now.”
She was also confused.
How did she suddenly end up on that cruise ship?
Did a space-type Night Watcher step in?
She didn’t sense any Star fluctuations, nor Star Eclipse fluctuations.
It seemed so suspicious.
But White Paint favored the theory that the Night Watchers from Pinghai City had arrived and rescued her.
Maybe that’s it.
Night Lan stayed silent.
She didn’t want to reveal the multiple powers she had inside her body yet.
Even though White Paint knew about the existence of the Extraordinary Star and Wish Machine, she didn’t know other secrets.
This kind of thing should be concealed for as long as possible.
What Night Lan wanted at present was simply a peaceful life.
Letting go of all those thoughts,
Night Lan was quite concerned about that terrifying tentacle creature from the deep sea.
Looks like it was a giant octopus.
That reminded her of the large shark she saw on the train.
No doubts,
this giant octopus must also be affected by Star Eclipse power.
How could it grow so big, resembling a monster?
Star Eclipses’ power is truly terrifying.
What exactly causes this?
Inquiring minds start spinning.
But before she could ponder more deeply, an incoming sound interrupted her thoughts.
Seems like the Night Watcher responsible for handling this giant octopus has arrived!
From the emergence of the giant octopus to now, maybe three minutes or so.
Response speed is surprisingly fast.
Night Lan breathed a sigh of relief as she watched a large jet fly overhead.
Seems they won’t need to summon their theater group’s members to handle this anymore.
While it isn’t a huge problem if the Night Watchers know that the Rising Sun Theater Group is based in Pinghai City,
Night Lan wasn’t keen on disturbing the Group Leader and others.
Should she spot her theater group members dealing with the giant octopus on the cruise ship, it would raise questions.
Clearly, this would lead people to think the Rising Sun Theater Group is trying to save the passengers on the cruise.
And subsequently to suspect someone aboard the cruise could be related to the theater group.
That secret still needs concealing.
“Ah, let’s watch the show,” Night Lan mused, curious to see how the Night Watcher tackles the giant octopus.
As expected,
there’s bound to be an involvement of one of those Sunlight Night Watchers.
Perfect chance to witness their prowess.
From her position on the cruise ship, Night Lan could see a figure standing atop a special model of the flying car.
Despite being too far, she couldn’t make out much detail.
But she could roughly tell his moves.
Facing the gigantic sea creature, the figure atop the car didn’t seem to make any drastic actions.
He didn’t even have to come down from the vehicle to do the job.
All he needed to do was to stand there and take care of it.
He levitated his hand towards the sky, and immediately, the clouds began to gather around him.
In a flash, the clouds glowed brighter, as if something ominous was incubating within.
“Wow~”
Night Lan curiously gazed on, awestruck, her breath caught in her throat.
The pressure was palpable.
The Sunlight Night Watcher lifted his arm in a peculiar manner, as if projecting something.
The next second—
The clouds became anomalous.
A nearly transparent giant sword dropped out of the sky, hurtling towards the location of the massive sea creature.
Seemingly sensing imminent peril, the giant octopus attempted to defend itself with its tentacles.
However, that immense sword bypassed those tentacles, instantly slicing through them, striking the giant octopus with lethal precision.
Boom —
The sound of the blade plunging into the water echoed across everyone’s ears, crushing the giant beast within.
Finally—
The sudden appearance of the deep-sea creature sank below the surface, bubbles erupting everywhere like a pot of boiling sea water.
The deep sea Dusk Jellyfish quickly dove deeper in an attempt to check on the creature’s condition.
Once the report came—”The deep-sea creature confirmed dead,” the jet bearing the Sunlight Night Watcher made its return journey.
The cleanup would be left to those Dusk Jellyfish beneath the water.
The cruise ship was nearing the shore.
Night Lan watched agape, thoroughly shocked.
“My goodness, it obliterated the monster with one hit! Is this what a Sunlight Night Watcher can do?”
Had she encountered such a deep-sea monster previously, Night Lan imagined the battle with Light Giants might have dragged on.
Yet, that Sunlight Night Watcher from Pinghai City dispatched “Divine Justice,” annihilating the monstrosity.
Terrifyingly powerful!
But reflecting on it calmly, it does make sense.
After all, that great octopus wasn’t a Star Eclipse, merely flesh and bl**d.
Modern weapons could defeat it, let alone combat-spec Sunlight Night Watchers, nearly on par with human nuclear weapons.
Even if Wang Chao from Yun Chang City were to intervene with full force, he could likely dispose of this monster too.
Conversely, high-spec Star Eclipse Incarnations might prove more challenging to eliminate.
“Uh, Pinghai City actually has these monsters. Was picking this place for vacations really a good idea?”
But regrets come too late.
They’re already here.
Going back would be awkward.
Besides, The Rising Sun Theater Group is also here; shouldn’t be such a big deal.
Because they are invincible!
…
Upon docking, people from the Night Watchers of the sea city soon approached.
Other ordinary folks didn’t catch their attention much.
Thinking about how traumatic events might leave psychological scars, the respective Night Watchers chose to erase the memories of those people.
As for White Paint and company,
the approaching Night Watchers were also informed about their details.
Since they were colleagues, everything could be clarified without much explanation.
Even if White Paint and company were tourists visiting from another city,
several Night Watchers highly respected White Paint upon learning she delayed the deep-sea monster by almost two minutes single-handedly and saved everyone.
These compassionate, righteous powerhouses are obviously revered within the Night Watchers Base.
For some time,
the Night Watchers questioned White Paint and, after documenting their answers, departed, leaving them undisturbed.
“Thank you, comrade, we’ll submit your report and secure you some compensation. Please stay tuned.”
“Mmm.” White Paint maintained her usual chilly demeanor.
As for Night Lan and her crew, they went unnoticed throughout.
