Chapter 410 410-Successful Rescue of Adam
With the cooperation of the Sea God, John successfully inflicted heavy damage on Ethereal Seer.
The core of Ethereal Seer was torn to shreds under the assault of the immense blue lightning, and the black smoke that had been swirling around Ethereal Seer's core rapidly flew towards the projection of Enigmatic Saint.
John wasn't sure if Ethereal Seer had been completely annihilated, but he was confident that Ethereal Seer wouldn't pose a threat to him again for some time.
He then turned his attention to the projection of Enigmatic Saint, which still hadn't taken any action.
By now, John was almost certain that Enigmatic Saint's condition was similar to that of Dark Devil Azazel.
After falling, Azazel returned to the Dark Realm, waiting to be resurrected from the darkness.
Similarly, Enigmatic Saint must have fallen due to a previous divine war and was now likely in the process of resurrection from the profound.
Enigmatic Saint's situation might be somewhat better than Azazel's, possibly closer to a full resurrection.
Having realized these things, John felt his pressure significantly lessen, and his expression relaxed somewhat.
He addressed the projection of Enigmatic Saint directly, "It seems your prophet is too weak. If he can't even defeat me, how is he supposed to resurrect you? Wouldn't it be safer for you to just stay in the profound?"
Faced with John's words, the projection of Enigmatic Saint did not respond.
It seemed as if the eyes of the projection were fixed on John for a prolonged period.
Unintimidated, John stared back directly at the projection.
After a standoff, the projection of Enigmatic Saint gradually faded, slowly disappearing completely.
The disappearance of Enigmatic Saint's projection didn't completely relax John.
Although he felt that Enigmatic Saint could no longer pose a threat to him at Karen Port, he still needed to cautiously observe his surroundings.
"How did it go? Have you succeeded? Is Enigmatic Saint destroyed just like that?" Blue Sea's voice suddenly emerged behind John.
Turning around, John saw Blue Sea looking at him with a puzzled expression.
Since Blue Sea had freed himself from the influence of the profound, it indicated that Enigmatic Saint's power had completely dissipated.
When John looked again at the seabed of Karen Port, the stagnant black lakes that had been there had vanished.
The water level in Karen Port was gradually returning to normal, confirming that Enigmatic Saint's influence had indeed fully dissipated.
Now, John could finally lower his guard and recount his recent experiences to Blue Sea.
After hearing about what John had been through, Blue Sea was visibly relieved yet concerned.
"You should have chosen to leave right away! You dared to fight Ethereal Seer to the end, especially with Enigmatic Saint present.
Do you think you could have won if Enigmatic Saint had directly intervened?"
Blue Sea's tone was filled with worry. While he was not overly concerned about Adam's safety, being more interested in the information Adam knew, Blue Sea was genuinely anxious about John's safety.
In his view, if John couldn't ensure his own safety, then he had no right to continue investigating anything related to Enigmatic Saint.
"If Enigmatic Saint had intervened directly, I indeed wouldn't have stood a chance. But he couldn't intervene directly; what appeared in Karen Port was merely his projection," John explained, alleviating some of Blue Sea's concerns.
However, Blue Sea quickly remembered the purpose of their mission – to find Adam.
"We're safe for now, so where should we look for Adam next? Ethereal Seer is gone, and Enigmatic Saint's projection has left.
It seems the profound power has completely vanished from Karen Port.
Doesn't that mean we're out of leads?
I encountered some danger when I was trapped in that sealing painting.
The longer Adam remains sealed, the greater the danger he faces."
John understood Blue Sea's concerns and nodded in agreement, "Let's search the seabed around Karen Port.
The profound power was strongest there.
If Adam is indeed sealed by the profound power, the most likely place would be the seabed of Karen Port.
You have the blessing of the Sea God, so you should be able to stay underwater for a long time, right?"
John's words indeed made Blue Sea less worried.
As one of the Sea God's favored, Blue Sea naturally had the ability to stay submerged for extended periods.
"Of course, I can stay underwater for an extended period, and I also brought a scroll that allows breathing underwater.
If you don't have a skill for underwater breathing, you can use this scroll," Blue Sea said, handing John a scroll that detailed an underwater breathing skill.
John accepted it without hesitation.
Although he possessed a skill for underwater breathing, using it would consume the little remaining MP he had.
The battle with Ethereal Seer might not have seemed exceedingly perilous on the surface, but every time John used a Divine Skill, it required a substantial amount of MP.
John's level was so high that his MP recovery rate was not as quick as that of ordinary players.
Unless he returned to his base in Storm City, it would take a couple of days to fully replenish his MP.
Even though Enigmatic Saint's projection had departed, John couldn't be sure that he wouldn't encounter any danger underwater.
John needed to conserve his MP for any unexpected situations that might arise.
After making their preparations, John and Blue Sea dived into the waters of Karen Port.
Soon, at the location where the profound power had been strongest, they found a painting.
It was identical to the one that had sealed Blue Sea. In this painting, they could both see a figure resembling Adam tucked away in a corner.
"Do you have the conch shell with you? Let's quickly rescue Adam from the seal!"
Back on land, Blue Sea hurriedly used the conch shell to break the seal.
Much like Blue Sea had before, Adam emerged from the sealing painting, looking disheveled but successfully freed.
Finally free, Adam looked at John and Blue Sea with a slightly reproachful tone, "Why did it take you so long to break the seal? I sent you so many messages. Didn't any of you reply even once? Didn't you notice I had suddenly disappeared?"
Adam felt that John and Blue Sea should have rescued him from the seal more promptly.
Of course, he was unaware of Ethereal Seer's impersonation of him and the subsequent ambush on John.
John and Blue Sea then recounted all the events that had transpired to Adam.
After hearing everything, Adam fell silent, frowning in deep thought for a while before sharing his opinion, "I didn't realize you encountered so many unforeseen situations. It seems the information I obtained is extremely important to the forces of the profound."
Finally bringing up the information he had gathered, Adam had John and Blue Sea's full attention as they eagerly awaited the details of his crucial findings.
"Remember Darklord?" Adam began, not immediately divulging the information but instead posing this seemingly obvious question to John and Blue Sea.
While Blue Sea might possibly forget Darklord, John certainly couldn't. He vividly remembered being betrayed by Darklord when he first entered Godslayer.
"The one who provided me with information about Karen Port was Darklord! He told me there was an artifact related to the Sea God here, and he mentioned that this artifact's name also contained the word 'profound'.
After learning this, I rushed to Karen Port.
In fact, at that time, I was ready to head to the Naga Clan with you two.
If I hadn't received this information from Darklord, I would have joined you in your action.
Do you think Darklord could be a member of the Mysterious Faction? Could he have deliberately given me this information to disrupt our plans?"
This revelation shocked both John and Blue Sea.
John had indeed considered the possibility of Darklord aligning with Dark Fiction, but he had not expected Darklord to be associated with Enigmatic Saint.
Blue Sea, on the other hand, was surprised that Adam was so interested in an artifact related to the Sea God.
Could it be that Adam had never given up on targeting his Blue Sea Guild?
