Prime Originator Chapter 485

"Y-yes, Your Highness?"

The captain responded confusedly before asking, "how low do you want the airship to fly, Your Highness?"

"Not that low, don't worry. Just low enough to attract the rats, but still out of their reach." Leon stated.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The captain complied.

Although the captain did not know what the royal prince was planning, he just needed to follow the prince's orders.

It was not like the prince will get them killed… probably.

"That giant silver wolf wouldn't attack us, would it?" A crewmate gulped while looking at the massive body of the Skysilver Beast King below.

Another crewmate followed the person's gaze and quickly shivered, "I hope not. It looks very powerful!"

"Of course, it is powerful! That's a Transcendent-level beast, the Skysilver Beast King!" Another crewmate informed. 

The two crewmates quickly jumped in fright.

Shortly after, the airship propeller's booming noise quickly attracted the rat tide's attention as they gazed up at the airship, slowly descending towards them.

Squeak! Squeak!

A small portion of the rat tide was quickly drawn over as they began leaping towards the descending airship while the majority continued to rush after the Skysilver Beast King.

Evidently, the Skysilver Beast King's massive fleshly body was more attractive to the hunger-crazed berserk rats than the body of steel flying overhead with few people onboard.

Waves after waves leaped at the airship but failed to come close to the airship as it continued to descend.

After reaching a certain distance from the ground, the captain quickly ordered the crew to stop the descent and hold their altitude.

"How is the altitude, Your Highness?" The captain asked before nervously adding, "Do we need to go lower?"

"No need."

Leon shook his head and said, "It's perfect."

The airship hovered just out of the numerous leaping rats' reach and looked like the airship was sailing atop the sea of rats.

Squeak! Squeak!"

The endless squeaking made the crew covered their ears as if it was the thunderous weather of the raging sea shouting at them.

Leon leaped onto the airship's side railing, and the Tier 4 Bone Bear quickly flashed into his firm grip before he shot the bone spear at the sea of leaping rats.

Swish—!

The bone spear pierced several rats before he recalled the bone spear with his Divine Will like he was harpooning flying fishes in the sea.

As the bone spear flew back with the caught rats, the black spear flickered into his other hand before he also sent it flying out.

"So, this is rat fishing…" The captain muttered.

Leon stopped at four rounds of rat fishing and piled the dozen rat carcasses in the corner with the other two carcasses on the deck after killing them.

The pill cauldron and spirit herbs were shortly pulled out from his Worldspace before Leon proceeded to begin his pill refinement of exploding pills.

"I will fetch the rats for you," Aria stated.

"Thank you, Aria."

Leon nodded.

However, Aria suddenly paused her step. She shook her head before asking, "Is there any need for that between us?"

"I suppose not," Leon responded with a smile after a moment.

Shortly after, she conjured her ice-lightning sword and took off from the deck on her sword, flying over the sea of mindless leaping rats.

She did not want to stand around idly while Leon is doing all the work. Rather than watching and doing nothing, it was better to kill the rats and toss some over from time to time when Leon needs more carcasses for their blood.

The Tier 3 Steel Sword refined by Leon shortly flashed into Aria's hand before she raised the steel sword towards the heavens and conjured additional ice-lightning swords into her surroundings.

One by one, the ice-lightning swords began to appear.

It was not long before 36 ice-lightning swords appeared around Aria. Unlike the Tier 3 Steel Sword that cannot be controlled via her thoughts, the set of 36 ice-lightning swords could.

After all, they were made from her ice-lightning powers.

Shortly after, the set of 36 ice-lightning swords separated into layers, forming three rings of swords that began revolving quickly around Aria.

While the crew observed Aria's action from the airship curiously, they noticed the revolving sword rings took on a shape similar to the lotus.

At the same time, Leon paused his work of draining the rat blood from the carcasses to glanced over at this sight.

His eyes quickly flickered with surprise.

"This is… the Ice Lotus Sword Formation from the Ice Phoenix Divine Sect?" Leon muttered.

The Ice Lotus Sword Formation of the Ice Phoenix Divine Sect was a technique that required 36 ordinary disciples working in tandem with their flying swords to pull off.

A hint of sorrow flickered across Leon's eyes at the reminder of Aria White, but it quickly disappeared as it came.

Divine Kings like Aria White could definitely pull off this difficult technique by themselves with their strong souls, but can Aria Rivera do the same?

Although Awakeners had lower requirements to pull off this technique due to their affinity with the World Laws, Leon could not understand why Aria was attempting this difficult technique.

Condensing ice-lightning power into 36 solid ice-lightning swords would have drained a lot of her energy.

'She's trying to improve by pushing herself.' Leon figured after pondering for some time.

Shortly after understanding her intention, Leon stopped paying attention to Aria and resumed his delayed work of refining exploding pills.

Aria took some time to adapt to controlling the 36 ice-lightning swords before she made them descend towards the numerous rats below.

Bzzt! Bzzt! Bzzt!

The rats leaped into the three descending sword rings and killed themselves, diced into numerous pieces like a meat grinder as the Ice Lotus Sword Formation continued to make its descent.

Thousands of Wingrats were annihilated in an instance!
