Chapter 94 - The Mysterious River
After the war with the pirate ships , the next part of the journey was sort of smooth sailing as no major monsters were faced , just the regular bunch of one horned dolphins and the giant sea pythons.
The aldready rough ship had a broken railing now , and the sails had a massive hole down the middle where the python had spat it's venom. Other than that the ship was mostly intact , the crew however was roughed up after 10 hours of continuous vigilant fighting.
However the next scene made the ten hours of grueling journey worth it as there was a beautiful purple river floating in the sky.
This Pink River was one of the rarely seen marvels in Omega . These marvels would usually appear at maps that were below Level 50. Any players that were able to meet such marvels were all extremely lucky, as this meeting represented an opportunity.
[Rainbow Fish] ( Elite)
Level 40
HP 10000/10000
Everyone looked at the thousands of rainbow fishes in the sky with awe. Then medivh started brewing a fireball to attack the fishes.
Rudra yelled " Stop ! ".
" Nobody attack the fishes ! ".
Rudra knew the mysterious river , it was the gold mine amongst goldmine that a select few could ever experience during their gaming days.
The river only appeared randomly at endless ocean once in a blue moon , and it represented a great opportunity.
Should the party become greedy and attack the fishes they would be instantly annihilated by the protector of the fishes.
The rainbow fishes were actually one of the sacred species protected by the church of the sea god Poseidon .
A tier four priest would always follow the group , and when a single attack against the group is launched , the party responsible would be instantly annihilated.
Rudra had read a story where someone had started praying towards the fishes , and the priest issued a special quest for them , giving them immense rewards, the details were a bit hazy , but the thing he obtained from the quest completion was an epic rated retractable shield. Rudra needed a defense item badly.
Recalling this he instructed the crew to get on their knees and pretend to pray towards the purple river and the fishes.
About 5 minutes into the act of devoutfull praying. An NPC lowered himself towards the ship, a dazzling blue armor equipped and a trident in hand.
He said in a deep voice " Who commands this ship?".
Rudra looked up and inspected the NPC before him.
[ Sir Molyneux ] ( Priest in temple of the sea god ) ( defender of the sacred fishes ) ( tier 4 ) : A staunch believer in the principles of the temple of the sea god . Donot try to attack the sacred fishes under his watch.
Rudra stood up , and said " The devotee greets the priest from the sea gods temple ".
The NPC looked astonished. The he smiled , " you are a knowledgeable adventurer young one , and have a wonderful crew , its good to see that you young land people know the culture of the people of the sea".
"Indeed we do sire. The tales of the mighty Poseidon are not unheard off in the land , when facing one of his pets , this lowly one can only but kneel ". Rudra said
The NPC nodded , clearly pleased
Then he asked " whats your purpose here , soo deep into the sea adventurer? ".
" We are explorers your excellency , here to look for unexplored lands , in search for great treasures ". Rudra lied through his teeth.
The NPC nodded " quite the greedy bunch arent you , hahahaha ".
" Well seeing that you are well versed in the doctrines of the temple of the sea , i shall give you the opportunity to earn a great treasure , however should you occupy it or not , depends on your own skill ".
Rudra bowed " that would be a great honor ".
Inwardly however Rudra screamed.
BOOYAH !
Then he said " Let me tell you a tale about a pirate , there was once a pirate wearing a strawhat with the oddest crew ever , he ate a mysterious fruit called the devil fruit to gain mysterious powers , his dream was to become the pirate king , over his journey s he collected immense treasures and made 17 inheritances , when his time as the pirate king came to an end .... One of those 17 inheritances was laid down on the floating island of atlantia , however the island is protected by the fierce kraken as it uses it to layy its eggs ... Should you defeat the kraken , the treasures can be yours and if you are lucky you may even get a kraken egg".

Rudra thanked the NPC profousely as he took his leave ..... Then Rudra steered the ship at full speed towards the treasure location.
Pirate king luffy was the greatest pirate in the history of pirates period , and his inheritances left behind are always massive massive treasures , although all 17 inheritances vary in size , with some having multiple legendary items with some having none , nonetheless each one is worth the trip there.
Gaining this opportunity Rudra was naturally not going to let it slide.
The thing with floating islands are that they randomly start drifting away once every few hours. The coordinates recieved will not be valid after the time limit of 8 hours had passed hence one needed to hurry.
