Chapter 3789: Riding The Current I
"It's time," said the leader, and we walked toward our designated airships.
Dense spatial energy had filled the current above me. It is so powerful, that I started to fear whether the airship would be able to bear it or not.
I wanted to travel through the current, but I squished that thought immediately before it could get a hold of my mind.
It is fast, not to mention safe. It will save me months of travel and risks.
I have been traveling for over five months and the journey wasn't safe. I have found myself in trouble more than once and many times, that trouble was dangerous.
I had been nearly killed by the powerful poison and survived the Sky Sovereigns. I have been lucky, but I might not be if I travel through the convention route.
Though the airship would be more dangerous if I were to find my end with it. It will be quick.
Hun!
Soon, I reached the airship and entered inside and immediately found myself shocked by the sheer thickness of it. I have read about it, but still, it is a kind of shocking.
The airship isn't big, one would still expect it to take five hundred people at the least. Ten times more, if the space is expanded, but in reality, each airship could only take hundred and seven to hundred and twelve people.
There is no spatially enlarged space inside. Hell, every inch seemed to count, and the seats were smaller than one would expect.
This airship is a thick metal box, and there are no windows. It is going to make a lot of people uncomfortable.
Some might even panic and do something.
'Good, they have made a preparation for that,' I thought as I sat down on my seat. It is lightly suppressing my power. I am sure if I were to use more than the allowed power; it would activate its pull power and suppress it.
The seat is big enough for my size. It will be comfortable for humans and elves.
Some beastmen, stone-skin, and people of other races that require larger space will be going to be quite uncomfortable in such a small space.
It is not just them, but everybody is going to be uncomfortable. Including me.
It is not the touch of skin-to-skin that will make us uncomfortable. They are past that stage a long ago, but it is the sheer proximity of other powerhouses, that will make us uncomfortable.
We don't like being so close to other people. We tend to maintain enough space with other people to react instantly if they were to attack us.
"It is going to be one, uncomfortable ride," said the Black Lizard Beastman as he took the middle seat.
"It will be," I said.
"Rhys Balescale," he introduced.
"August Black," I said and shook his hand.
A few seconds later, the third passenger of the line appeared. It is a woman; at first glance, she seems human, but she is not.
It is not just her eyes and ears, but also her skin, which looks human at a glance, but it isn't.
She nodded at us, before closing her eyes.
A minute passed and horned Sky Sovereigns closed the gate of the airship, before turning to us.
"This is going to be the most uncomfortable ride of your life. It will not just be the close proximity to each other, but also turbulence and other things,"
"It will be hard, but I want you all to be calm. I do not want chaos on my ship. Those who disturb the peace beyond the limit will be killed by the kill formations of the airship," he informed without change in his expression.
He looked at us all, before sitting down.
For the seventeen minutes, there was only a quiet conversation in the airship, before I felt it lifting.
Others have also felt it, as immediately, their soul senses become stronger. They tried to sense the changes that were happening in the airship, but most of them could only sense the superficial ones.
I don't think, there is anyone who could sense them deep as me. If there had been, I could have been able to sense their soul sense deeper.
These airships had been forged by the Prime. For the sole purpose of riding the riding the spatial currents. Their defense was extremely strong, including the defenses against the soul sense.
There are no soul energies in the current, but people have it and they like to mess things up.
It is important to have strong soul defenses. They don't anybody messing up the defenses of the airship with their soul sense. It might weaken the airship enough that the current would tear through it.
It had happened before.
Buzz!
A few seconds passed and when the formation buzzed, and the airship hummed with great power. It is so powerful that it made one of the Earth Sovereigns faints on the spot.
As it hummed, it entered the current.
Hun!
Everyone felt that immediately. The airship shook violently, and a powerful presence filled the airship. It is so powerful that it has quitted down the most daring Sky Sovereigns.
"This power, if entered inside will kill us all in an instant," said Rhys beside me. "It will be quicker than an instant," I replied, and the man grinned.
It is too powerful. So much so that even the slightest leak opened in the defenses. It would tear open the whole airship and kill us all before we could make even the slightest sound.
I am scared of the spatial current through which this airship is moving, but it has also fascinated me.
I am looking at it with my soul waves and what I am seeing, made my heartbeat wildly in excitement and fear.
The airship is moving extremely fast, and it will go even faster. We have just entered the current; it is not that fast here, and the spatial energies are powerful.
They will be ahead.
