Chapter 1907: Baga Island & Sea G.o.d Raas.h.i.+m’s Envoy

Baga Island.

The heart of Sea G.o.d Raas.h.i.+m's faith.

This grand-sized island was located in the deepest part of the Labh Salem's expansive sea domain, far from any major continents.

It was an isolated paradise, where the salty sea breeze and the rhythmic cras.h.i.+ng of waves created a serene backdrop to the grand festivities taking place.

The island's capital city was abuzz with excitement for the annual celebration of G.o.d Raas.h.i.+m's faith.

Colorful banners emblazoned with Raas.h.i.+m's symbol fluttered in the wind, adorning every building and street corner. The scent of roasted seafood and exotic spices filled the air, as vendors sold a variety of treats to the bustling crowd.

Marches and communal prayers were in full swing, with people of all ages joining in, their voices rising in a harmonious chorus that echoed through the city.

At the heart of the city stood Raas.h.i.+m's grand main temple, an architectural marvel with its towering spires and intricate carvings depicting legendary sea creatures and epic battles.

This year, the temple grounds were the focal point of the celebrations, and the atmosphere was electric.

A battle compet.i.tion had been the highlight of the festivities, lasting for seven days and six nights. It was a grueling test of skill, strength, and strategy, with partic.i.p.ants facing off in a series of intense matches.

Now, after days of fierce combat, the top ten partic.i.p.ants had been chosen, each one proving their might over their peers.

A grand platform hovered motionlessly in the air above the temple courtyard, an awe-inspiring sight that drew the attention of everyone below.

The platform was adorned with golden ornaments and glowing sea gems that reflected the sunlight, casting dazzling patterns on the ground. On this platform, the ten winners stood proudly, flanked by a group of Raas.h.i.+m's priests in their ceremonial robes.

"Look at Goran up there! He's definitely going to be one of the chosen ones. Did you see how he handled that sea serpent in the final round?"

"Yeah, but don't underestimate Lira. She took down three opponents at once with that whirlpool technique. She's got the skills that the G.o.d Raas.h.i.+m's temple values."

"I'm just glad we get to witness this. My father told me stories about this ceremony that happens after every 100 years. But I never thought I'd see it myself."

"When do you think G.o.d Raas.h.i.+m's incarnation will appear in his full glory? They say that he weilds the G.o.d's powers well."

"I heard the same. And those priests, even the weakest among them is a B-Ranked Sentinel. The temple is not leaving any stone unturned it seems. They must be feeling the weight of this moment too."

"Who do you think will get the Blessings? My money's on Kaito. His spear techniques were flawless, like he was born in the water."

"Hmm. I don't know. Jara has been a dark horse throughout the compet.i.tion. She might just surprise us all."

"Shhh, the priests are moving. I think the ceremony is about to begin. G.o.d Raas.h.i.+m blesses us all, this is the moment we've been waiting for. Hahaha."

"I can't wait to see who gets the blessing. Imagine the honor of being blessed by G.o.d Raas.h.i.+m himself. Their lives will never be the same."

Below the platform, a sea of Raas.h.i.+m's wors.h.i.+ppers had gathered. The talks were endless. The discussions and arguments were going on everywhere.

Some chanted the winners' names, their voices rising in a rhythmic cheer.

Others sang prayers to their beloved G.o.d Raas.h.i.+m, their tones reverent and hopeful.

Groups of friends and families discussed the compet.i.tion, debating who among the ten winners would be the three lucky ones to receive Raas.h.i.+m's blessings.

The atmosphere was charged with energy. Children ran around, waving miniature banners, while vendors shouted out their goods, adding to the cacophony of sounds. The crowd surged forward as they tried to get a better view of the platform, their eyes glued to the ten partic.i.p.ants standing in all their glory.

The ten winners themselves were a diverse group, each one representing a different facet of combat prowess. Some bore the scars of their battles proudly, while others stood with a calm and composed demeanor.

They exchanged glances and nodded to one another, acknowledging the camaraderie that had formed among them during the compet.i.tion.

As the sun began to set, casting a golden glow over Baga Island, the excitement reached its peak. The crowd's chatter grew louder.

The suddenly…

A sea conch was blown off somewhere and the air itself grew thicker, weighting on the wors.h.i.+ppers by creating a subtle form of pressure.

From the horizon, a colossal s.h.i.+p emerged, sailing smoothly through the sky as if it were gliding on sea waves. This was the envoy of G.o.d Raas.h.i.+m's incarnation, a grand spectacle that captured everyone's attention.

The s.h.i.+p itself was a masterpiece of divine craftsmans.h.i.+p. Its hull s.h.i.+mmered with iridescent scales, reflecting the colors of the ocean and the sky.

The figurehead at the prow was a majestic sea dragon, its eyes glowing with an ethereal light that pierced through the sky. Along the sides, glowing runes pulsed with power, making the s.h.i.+p seem alive.

Circling the grand s.h.i.+p were six sea wyverns, each one a fearsome yet magnificent creature.

Their scales ranged from deep blue to shamrock green, mirroring the colors of the ocean.

They had long, serpentine bodies with powerful wings that beat rhythmically, keeping them in a tight formation around the s.h.i.+p.

Each wyvern had piercing eyes that seemed to look straight into the souls of those below, and their mouths occasionally emitted streams of flames and water jets, adding to the spectacle.

As the s.h.i.+p approached, the coastal region around Baga Island erupted with activity. Giant sea creatures surfaced, their ma.s.sive forms breaking the waves.

There were krakens with tentacles stretching high, leviathans whose roars sounded like thunder, and enormous sea turtles that glided gracefully. Their ancient-sounding noises created a symphony that echoed around the island, adding to the divine atmosphere.

"RAAAAAs.h.i.+M!"

"MY G.o.d!"

"MY SAVIOR!"

The crowd went wild.

Chanting prayers for G.o.d Raas.h.i.+m, their voices rose in unison, a powerful testament to their faith. Some lifted their arms towards the sky, while others fell to their knees, tears streaming down their faces in reverence and awe.

"Raas.h.i.+m! Raas.h.i.+m! Bless us, mighty G.o.d of the sea!" The chants grew louder and more fervent, a wave of devotion sweeping through the ma.s.ses.

Nine out of the ten partic.i.p.ants on the platform gazed at the approaching envoy with zealous expressions. For some reason, one partic.i.p.ant among them had a smirk on his face as he looked at the envoy.

The nine partic.i.p.ants' hearts pounded with excitement and antic.i.p.ation. This was the moment they had fought for, the chance to receive a blessing from Raas.h.i.+m's incarnation that would transform their lives forever.

Eldrin, a tall warrior with a fierce gaze, clenched his fists. "This is it. I've been waiting for this moment all my life."

Lira, her eyes sparkling with determination, whispered a prayer under her breath. "Raas.h.i.+m, guide me. Let me be worthy of your blessing."

Jara, the dark horse of the compet.i.tion, felt a surge of confidence. "I've come this far. I know I can do this."

As the s.h.i.+p hovered above the platform, a powerful aura descended upon the island.

The wyverns roared in unison, and the sea creatures below answered with their own calls. The priests on the platform began their ceremonial chants.

The s.h.i.+p's gangplank lowered, and from the depths of the s.h.i.+p, the envoy of Raas.h.i.+m's incarnation appeared. Cloaked in robes that s.h.i.+mmered like liquid silver, the envoy carried an air of authority and grace. Behind him, a bunch of acolytes followed, each bearing symbols of Raas.h.i.+m's power.

The crowd fell silent, their collective breath held in antic.i.p.ation. The moment of judgment was at hand.

The crowd below held their breath as the figure of Sea G.o.d Raas.h.i.+m's incarnation stepped forward from the s.h.i.+p.

He looked like a man in his 70s, but his presence was anything but frail. Standing at an impressive 21 feet tall, he was a mini-giant with an imposing presence that commanded respect.

Raas.h.i.+m's incarnation had a long face, lined with the marks of advanced age, including slight wrinkles around his piercing yellow eyes. His white hair was tied back in a ponytail, adding a touch of regality to his rugged appearance. Two thick mustaches framed his mouth, giving him a distinguished look.

His chest and arms bore numerous scars, each one a testament to countless battles fought and won. His muscular physique was evident beneath his unb.u.t.toned robe, revealing powerful biceps that seemed to swell even larger whenever he lifted his weapon.

A mysterious sea creature, intricately tattooed on his back, moved slightly with each flex of his muscles, adding to his enigmatic aura.

He wore long, flowing pants that allowed him to move with agility and grace, despite his enormous size.

His robe, though unb.u.t.toned, draped around him with an air of casual authority, a symbol of his dominance over the seas.freēReadNovelFull.com

'd.a.m.n. It's going to be a bit of a challenge to take this old pops down,' a certain partic.i.p.ant among the 10 lucky winners thought to himself as he looked at the sea G.o.d's incarnation for the first time.
