Chapter 880 Fifth Heavenly Punishment

Chapter 880  Fifth Heavenly Punishment

On the island about fifty miles away from where Ace has encountered the Predator Coffin Fish, two furry figures stood with tattered clothes as they were observing the battle.

"Now, who is foolish enough to wander closer to this forsaken island?" A brown bear-like humanoid figure muttered with sheer astonishment.

"Uncle, do you think he's sent here to search for us by grandfather?" The white fur hominoid bear asked in her gentle voice.

However, before the uncle could reply, they were both gobsmacked when they saw the huge black lighting sword pierced into the terrifying fish.

The brown bear's eyes widened with shock before excitement shimmered in them, "S-strong! If he can get rid of that monster, it doesn't matter if he's here for us or just stumbled upon this place. We can easily go back!"

However, the brown bear's happiness was short-lived when he noticed a few shadows rising above from the deep sea, and his expression was ashen as realization dawned on him.

"M-more! Are they more of those bloody fishes? How can that be? Why so many monsters are around this island!?" He muttered in despair since it was his first time seeing more sea beasts around this island except for the Predator Coffin Fish.

The white bear was also alarmed, and as she looked at the dark figure with anxiety, it was their only hope to get out of this place, or they both would die.

Her eyes suddenly shimmered as she quickly said, "Uncle, how about we sneak out while he's drawing all the attention to himself? I'm sure those guys are coming to get revenge for that big fish. They won't pay attention to us!"

The brown bear looked at his niece in surprise as he was so occupied by the number of monsters that he almost lost his rationality.

"Good idea!" He instantly agreed.

However, right at this moment, before they both could make their moves, they suddenly felt like the surrounding atmosphere was changing, and then they finally noticed the sky.

They saw the clear golden sky suddenly start covered with pitch black clouds, which appeared out of nowhere, and they were increased at a terrifying rate.

"W-what is happening? Is he controlling those clouds?" The white bear asked with astonishment, but her face went ghastly pale when she suddenly felt a terrifying aura suddenly weighing down on them.

The brown bear also felt it, and he felt it far better than his niece and shuddered and looked at those clouds, which seemed to be expanding endlessly, and that aura was only rising until it became hard even to breathe properly!

If they were thinking about running away before, now their survival becomes questionable.

At this moment, they noticed another thing: the pitch-black clouds suddenly started to revolve, creating a vortex, and lighting started to flash within them, and that ghastly pressure skyrocketed.

As if it wasn't enough, they saw the dark figure suddenly vanishing from its spot. And he appeared around 1000 meters away from his initial position, and he did the same in succession.

"H-he…he's coming here!" The brown bear blurted in sheer horror as he also noticed that the eye of the vortex seemed to be shifting towards them as if it was following that figure.

<nulli>'Just what is happening!?' He thought with distress.

Ace was using space step talismans to reach the island quickly and wasn't aware that he had dragged down innocent victims in his heavenly punishment. Even if he had known, he would've done the same because of the opponents he was facing right now.

Moreover, he was here to undergo the heavenly punishment in the first place, so instead of wasting his time and Qi on running, he decided to activate it and let the heavenly punishment deal with those annoying fishes in his stead.

As for himself, he wanted to land on the island because undergoing heavenly punishment in the middle of the endless was nothing but suicidal. So, he had to use his talismans to approach the island before the heavenly punishment could start quickly.

Just as he was only a single talisman away from reaching the island, a huge rumbling sound rang, and a pressure that Ace hadn't felt before descended, almost smashing him into the sea.

But he gritted his teeth and endured and used the talisman to manage to hit the shoreline barely. Nonetheless, Ace wasn't relaxed because this pressure was too horrifying. He saw the vortex, and his eyes widened when he saw tri-color thunder lightning crackling.

Just by looking at it made Ace's felt like his soul and martial space trembling a little. At this moment, the system's voice rang.

<nullb>=====

Ace dryly gulped as he looked at the tri-color thunder lightning becoming stronger and more visible. The thunder, this time, was of blue, red, and green color.

Right at this moment, the tri-color thunder made oppressive rumbling before it bolted down all over the sea and even the island Ace had landed on.

Ace knew the entire island was within the heavenly punishment range, and anything living in this place would be dead without any mercy.

Suddenly, Ace noticed a strangeness. The thunderstorm was getting stronger and stronger towards the center of the island as if it was increasing its power to get rid of something strong.

<nulli>'Just what in the world is in this place can handle this level of heavenly thunder?' Ace wondered as he thought this was absurd since he had never seen the heavenly punishment take more than a second to get rid of any hindrance.

At this moment, a horrendous, eerie voice reverberated like a thunderclap, <nullb>"WHAT DID I DO TO YOU?!!!!"
