Close Combat Mage-Chapter 403 – Deal With However You Please Pt.2

Xiang Yun lightly patted Suo Jia’s shoulder and quietly walked out. He had said everything he needed to. Following this, it was up to Suo Jia to properly think this over and comprehend it all. Nobody else could help him anymore.

Time passed, minute by minute, second by second. Suo Jia simply sat there in a daze, his eyes unmoving from the Divine Dragon Whip radiating cold air. The various unbelievably powerful abilities continuously flashed through his mind.

Suo Jia unconsciously began to compare the Divine Dragon to the Western world’s dragons. However, he quickly realized that no dragon could possibly go up against the Divine Dragon. With the Divine Dragon’s terrifying body, any movement could instantly kill another dragon without exception, no matter how great it was!

The western dragons were particularly strong due to their large size. On the other hand, the eastern Divine Dragon was not only powerful, but also used its unique body characteristics to further boost its strength by many fold. Moreover, its battle skills could change rapidly and unpredictably, making it impossible to defend against. If there really was a living Divine Dragon, Suo Jia couldn’t imagine any way he could possibly beat it. That was definitely the true definition of unrivalled!

What excited Suo Jia the most was that although he couldn’t confirm or deny the existence of a living Divine Dragon, Suo Jia could use his own water manipulation ability and the power of the Control fruits to bring the Divine Dragon’s powers into existence. Although he didn’t know if he could possibly reach the real Divine Dragon’s level, the might of the dragon whip would continuously advance towards that peak point as Suo Jia’s strength increased. While it might never truly reach that level, getting to the point where he was unrivalled under the heavens wasn’t impossible.

For three days straight, Suo Jia locked himself in the room to carefully experiment with the Divine Dragon Whip’s skill set. Only after a knock on the door rang out did Suo Jia abruptly snap out of it.

Following Suo Jia’s command, the cabin door was pushed open. A pirate respectfully walked in and politely informed, “Reporting to the great Suo Jia: we will soon be reaching Conch Island. At our current speed, we will arrive after half an hour!”

Suo Jia nodded in understanding and gestured for the pirate to retreat. Then, Suo Jia stood up and stretched his sore hip. Just as he was about to go out and take a look, he suddenly remembered something.

He abruptly turned his head to look at the Divine Dragon Whip on the table with a complicated expression. Only now did he realize that although formidable, summoning this Divine Dragon Whip would be too troublesome. It was as detailed as an engraving; which enemy would ever give him half an hour to summon it?

While pondering this tough dilemma deeply to himself, the voice of the Divine Artifact’s spirit quietly spoke up. “Master, you can place the Divide Dragon Whip in the Divine Artifact’s Origin Sea. Although it cannot hold anything else, it is able to contain an item composed purely of the water element!”

The Divine Artifact’s spirit paused momentarily before continuing, “Moreover, placing the Divine Dragon’s Whip here would not only maintain its temperature, but I can also leave it in the central core of the Hundred Millennia Glacier. This would allow the Divine Dragon Whip to accumulate the Hundred Millennia Glacier’s cold energy and make it even sturdier than steel, transforming it into an unbreakable Hundred Millennia Ice Spirit!”

“Holy sh*t!” Suo Jia cried out at this voice in shock, then abruptly jumped up. If everything it said was true, it would be too amazing!

As Suo Jia thought this to himself, he glanced at the Divine Dragon Whip for a while before resolutely nodding to himself. The Divine Dragon Whip had to be placed in the glacier within Origin Sea, but it wouldn’t be this rough, slipshod ice stream whip. Suo Jia decided that he would focus all his efforts onto carving the sharpest and most perfect Divine Dragon Whip. Only that kind of existence had the right to enter Origin Sea!

The current Divine Dragon Whip’s scales were all carved on, and couldn’t be angled up. For that to happen, he would have to model each scale individually and then stick them all on. There was also the sword of the dragon’s tongue, the mouth that could open and close, and the seizing talons. None of these could possibly become reality on the current Divine Dragon Whip!

Suo Jia instantly turned around to push the door open and walk out to the deck. When he looked around, he saw that in the distance on the ocean’s horizon, he could see a luscious green shadow. It was an island in the shape of a conch. Suo Jia couldn’t help but grin; after having floated on the water for so long, they could finally go ashore!

Half an hour later, Suo Jia’s large flagship finally stopped at Conch Island’s port. At the same time, Suo Jia sent Xiang Yun and the others to escort the pirate’s former chief, Whale, off the boat and towards the inn.

Xiang Yun and the others were sitting at a round table inside the inn. As for the pirate leader, Whale, he had been tossed onto the floor bound in shackles. Meanwhile, the joint hearing had begun.

Suo Jia coldly glared at Whale and turned to say to Xiang Yun and Roger, “I originally wanted to deal with this guy ages ago. But since we were at sea during that time, and the hands on deck were all this person’s subordinates, I was afraid it would cause a commotion and didn’t dare to act. But now that we are on land, it is time to deal with him.”

Suo Jia momentarily paused here. “Alright, Xiang Yun, Roger, as the victims, this guy’s fate is up for you guys to decide!”

The two nodded in response and looked over at Whale. After sizing him up, a ruthless smile broke out on Xiang Yun’s face as he rubbed his chin and contemplated on how to persecute Whale.

Collapsed onto the floor, Whale frigidly glared at Xiang Yun and Roger. Although his complexion was deathly pale, there were no traces of fear to be found. He was unwilling to say anything related to begging for mercy.

Seeing this, Xiang Yun asked in curiosity, “Oi! Now that you’ve already fallen to this extent, aren’t you afraid of us torturing you to the point where you cannot beg for mercy, and desiring death is even harder?”

Whale’s frigid gaze met Xiang Yun’s and he flatly answered, “If you really see me that way, you are greatly mistaken. From the day I first became a pirate, I had already known that if I was afraid of death in a scene like today, I did not have the qualifications to become a pirate at all! So…if you want to kill me, go ahead. I, Whale, have no fear!”

“Aha!” Roger naturally stood up after hearing Whale’s words and circled him twice before laughing out loud. “I hadn’t thought that I would ever encounter such a tough little pirate!”

Roger then turned slightly to look at Xiang Yun. After meeting gazes, Roger gently released Whale’s bindings and nonchalantly walked back to the circular table.

At the same time, Roger announced, “Although you defeated and nearly killed me and Roger this time, that is just because our skills weren’t up to par. Nothing more can be said about that!”

Xiang Yun slightly paused for a bit. “This time, we will let you go. But next time we meet, we will defeat you!”

Whale slowly stood up and silently began to walk towards the doorway. The instant he was just about to exit, Xiang Yun’s voice rang out once more. “Oi! Next time we meet, our boss won’t take action no matter how many people you guys have. As long as you can defeat me and Roger, you can deal with us however you please!”𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎
