Chapter 536 Assassination Attempt (Part 2).
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
After being dragged to the boating area, Blake finally yielded and gave her a condition.
"We are definitely not going past the wall."
"Why the hell would we do that?" Camilla raised her brow. Although she was very comfortable in the ocean, she wasn't that crazy to endanger their lives for no good reason.
They quickly approached a tour boat owner who told them the charge for the tour, but instead, Camilla rented the entire boat for only her and Blake.
Why buy the bottle when you can buy the bar?!
Using the water element to control the tour boat's movement, they set out into the water.
After a few minutes of navigating through other boats, they finally got to a less crowded area where they finally stopped.
"We made it just in time to watch the sunset." Camilla was instantly entranced by the beauty of the Sun setting.
'Not gonna lie, this is calming.' Blake thought to himself as he was thinking less of the dangers in the ocean.
Without saying a word to each other, both of them stared at the beauty of the setting sun, but unknown to them another boat had entered the same area as their tour boat.
Just like them, the occupant of the boat had rented it all for himself. Once he was at a safe distance away from them, the man took out a fist size circle pendant with inscriptions and a green gem at the center.
The pendant was a one-time use artifact that stored an Angel realm spell, and without wasting another second the man activated the artifact.
[Large amounts of mana is gathering around you, get out of here now!] The system immediately warned Blake, but at the same time, the water surrounding the boat had shot high up, forming an enormous water wall that prevented anything from going in or out.
Immediately Ebony and Ivory transformed into miniature versions of their Haiti and Skoll forms to not capsize the small tour boat before unleashing their mana and creating a barrier above their head, giving Blake enough time to conjure 2 spatial corridors below him and Camilla.
...
The people on the beach were relaxing and enjoying the Sunset when they saw a 30 meters tall water wall surround a boat, before converging down at a tour boat.
BOOM!
The enormous amount of water crashed onto the tour boat with so much force that it broke the boat into pieces and caused a gigantic wave that swallowed tens of boats and sent every other thing in the water back to the beach.
2 spatial corridors opened up at the dock of the boating area, and both Blake and Camilla were washed out by the water that had made its way into the spatial corridor.
This was the spatial seal he had placed right before they had entered the tour boat.
'I guess one can never over-prepare.' Blake shook his head.
The spatial mark he placed when he was searching for the Sea Serpent was useless because the distance was too large. In this instance, the system thought this spatial mark was also useless since there was no danger around and there were not far from the beach, but Blake's pessimism just saved their lives.
"Are you alright?" Blake asked Camilla as he helped her get up.
"Just some bruises, what about you?"
"Same here."
While they were still checking up on each other, Coastville's ash corps arrived at the scene and went into action. They moved quickly and began saving victims of capsized ships and those caught by the waves, before treating those injured.
It was after the situation was under control that they began investigating the matter and questioning witnesses.
Not only was the energy level detected to be at the Angel realm, but such attacks coupled with the recent incident with the Sea Serpent would scare tourists from visiting the city, thus affecting Coastville's revenue. So, this was a very serious issue that had to be quickly resolved.
While they were doing that, Blake approached the Major in charge of the case and explained to him that the attack was aimed at his boat.
"Are you saying this was an assassination attempt?" The head of the Investigations department was surprised.
"Most likely..." Blake answered.
"Thanks for the information, this has saved us a lot of time." The Major said in a serious tone as he left Blake and began giving new series of orders.
With the info he just got from Blake, he immediately informed the lieutenant colonel in charge of the city about the case and requested for some artifacts.
His goal was now to track the assassin as quickly as possible.
"Who do you think is behind the assassination?" Camilla asked as their wounds were being treated.
"There are a lot of people after my life, so, I am not sure who is behind this attack." Blake replied causing the healer to look at him with surprise written all over her face.
So many people are trying to assassinate you, but you are still this calm?!
Not caring about the look on the healer's face, Camilla asked. "Do you think it is the latest one?"
"Hmm…" Blake began pondering. "I can't be too sure because this could be a plan by another enemy to use him as a scapegoat... At least that is what I would do if I was my enemy."
At that time, the head of the investigations team walked over to Blake to tell him about the progress they had made so far.
"The artifact couldn't detect the face of the assassin, but we were able to get the image of one-time use artifact used to attack you. Also, we found the boat owner that rented his boat to him, and got a sketch of what he looked." The Major said as he handed Blake a copy of the sketch.
"Have any clue who it is?" The Major asked.
"No idea." Blake shook his head as he had never met the person before. It was no doubt that the assassin used some kind of face-changing spell or magical item.
'This might be troublesome.' Blake thought.
