Chapter 546: 542 Crossing To The Ocean (2)

On the other side, the teleportation array started to become unstable and the faces of the array master turned grave.

The lighting around the teleportation array flickered and pulsated in an inconsistent manner.

Seeing the dark expression of the array masters and the nervous expression of the Chief, the Pope frowned and asked, "What's the problem? Why is teleportation acting like this?"

"Your Holiness… This… I have no idea as well…." The Chief panicked and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He gave the leader of the array masters a look to immediately look into the array.

The leader also knew what he had to do and immediately went around to inspect what was wrong.

Everyone had a nervous expression, they simply did not expect this to happen.

"This… I am clueless as well, Your Holiness… The array is intact and we have fed enough mana stones for it to work…

This thing has never happened to all the array trips since earlier this morning…" The leader of the array masters trembled as he had to answer what was wrong.

"Then what is the meaning of this? I reckon that the mana stones are enough for us to be transported, why does the portal not proceed to teleport us at all?" The Pope was clearly angry as he could not afford any delay.

Besides, he spent a lot of mana stones just for this trip! He cannot accept that it would just be wasted in some kind of mishap!

"It is indeed as the array master had said, the array was still working earlier and did not require any more fixes. We have triple-checked the runes before asking Your Holiness and Your Highnesses to step into the array…" The Chief vouched for his workers.

"That's not what I needed to hear! I need you all to fix this all at once and get us to the interim island!" The Pope bellowed with anger in his tone, making the rest shudder in fear.

Rachana only shook her head and crossed her arms as spectating the scene.

'That's what we all get for not thinking!'

'Now that we are stuck here, we wasted more time and resources!'

'We could have just continued our invasion instead of being angry with these workers…'

She rolled her eyes as she looked at the situation with the urge to roll her eyes.

"Y-your Holiness… this might be my wild guess… but I do think that the fuel for the transport might not be enough, that is why it is acting like this…" A junior array master trembled as he summoned his courage to voice out his idea to the troubled crowd.

"So…" The Pope narrowed his eyes and said in a low threatening voice, "You are saying that I should spend more mana stones than I originally have?"

The piercing glare of the Pope made the junior array master tremble more violently… it even caused him to kneel and prostrate to ask for forgiveness.

But as he looked at the ashen faces of his colleague and the possible consequences of their failure, he let out a nervous gulp and replied with the remaining courage he could muster. "It is as Your Holiness said!"

Then he collapsed on the floor and knelt, waiting for the Pope's verdict.

But instead of taking out his anger on the young array master, he looked at the chief with an expression saying, 'Take responsibility!'

And so the Chief immediately scrambled over, he quickly ran to his safe and took all the mana stones he had in his possession.

It was just a few pebbles of low-grade mana stone… however, this is all he had accumulated in his entire life. It breaks his heart to take it out but the matter calls for a great sacrifice or else, his life is no more.

When he went back, he noticed that the other array masters also took out their personal stash of mana stones.

They all wore a heartbroken expression on their faces but they still took it out and fed it to the array mechanism.

Vrrrrr!

The array brightened once again and became stable. "Success!" They announced triumphantly.

Only then did the Pope's expression relax while the princes heaved a sigh of relief.

The masters worked in action once again and prepared to activate the array, however… A few seconds later, the light of the array dimmed once more, along with the faces of everyone around.

"What in the world is going on?!" The princes this time also became agitated as they found that the array did not work once more.

"It shouldn't be like this…. We have fed an addition of more than half of the fuel requirements…" The chief and the leader of the array masters almost went crazy.

That was their entire life savings, spent in vain!!!

"Wahahaha! Look at their faces my dear subjects! Their expressions are gold!" Zenith burst into a hearty laugh as he watched everything that was happening.

"Chichichichi!" The spatial fairies around also laughed adorably as the king was having a good time pranking the evil men.

"Just sit back there and relax… Let's watch what they do next!" Zenith stretched out his hands and the mana stones that were fed in the teleportation array appeared.

Back to the array, the Pope and his entire entourage had a gloomy expressions.

Seeing that the array masters were helpless and the reaction of the array has proven the junior array master's point, they could only do one thing…

To feed the array with more mana stones!

However, how could they give their own wealth just like that?

But after just a few minutes of silence and contemplation the array reacted once more, this time it showed signs of stopping.

"Not good… the array is about to be deactivated!" The leader of the array masters exclaimed in panic.

"This… Your Holiness… I'm afraid…" The Chief of the Harbor point trembled in fright, in his mind, he could visualize himself being hanged on the gallows for this failure.

"Sigh… take this…" Suddenly, one of the princes took his own stash of mana stones and reluctantly gave it all to the chief. "This is all I have, do what you must to take us to the island."

"This… Your Highness!" The Chief almost teared up seeing the actions of the prince.

Among the princes around, he was the youngest and had the weakest presence; however, it was a surprise that he was the one who would take initiative to act and solve the case.

The array masters also looked at the youngest prince with a grateful look, like he was the hero that saved the day.

The other three princes saw the awe in the faces of the array masters and their expressions darkened. Almost simultaneously, they took out the mana stones on their own space pouches and gave them to the array masters.

Vrr…. the light in the array lit up once more but it was still losing some vibrance. With this, there's no need for the people around to know that the mana stones are still not enough.

It was not known whether it was intentional or not, but all eyes inside the teleportation hall landed on the Pope, Rachana, and the temple knights with them.

Among the people around, they were the only ones who did not shell out extra mana stones.

This, of course, made the temple people feel stifled, but in this situation, they have no choice.

Either they will be facing the wrath of Lord Raven or they accept their fate of becoming poor in mana stones.

In the end, they all took their mana stones and watched them be fed to the array mechanism with aching hearts.

What was quite ironic was that, when they waited for the mana stones to take effect, they were praying to the heavens for the mana stones to work, or else they will be stuck in the harbor point for who knows how long!

Vwoooong!

At last! The runes in the array spiraled and floated in the air. It spun rapidly causing the trembling of the entire building.

"Finally!" The Pope knew that the array would now work as they were now enveloped in light and they could now feel their bodies being wrapped with mystifying mana.

The Chief and the array masters also heaved a sigh of relief especially when they saw that the Pope and the rest had completely disappeared.

However…

Just as they were about to stand up and do their clean-up procedures for the array. They noticed that something was wrong!

"M-master… there's something wrong in the array…" One of the junior array masters shuddered as his finger pointed toward the center in horror.

The Chief, the Leader, and all the senior array masters looked in the direction where he pointed and was shocked.

The leader quickly stepped into the center of the array and the color of his face paled in horror!

"Oh… heavens, what have we done!" He collapsed on the ground and immediately fainted.

In the interim island, the Pope and the party successfully saw the change of scene and then finally heaved a sigh of relief.

"At last! We have arrived!" The eldest of the prince happily exclaimed.

"The interim island is amazing! We are already in the midday but the entire surroundings are breezy and cool…" The second prince praised.

However, the next moment, Rachana's horrified voice caught their attention.

"Don't look at me! Don't! Kyaaaa!!" She ran to a nearby tree and hid, completely embarrassed.

The faces of the men changed, not only because of the scene Rachana caused, but the realization of their current situation.

They were all standing in the middle of the island, with nothing but their lower underwear!
