Chapter 344: Four Legendary Creatures

The house took them one day, built mainly with wood, one of the only resources on that island. As for the roof? Different types of leaves created a reliable top capable of enduring heavy rains and wind.

It looked similar to the houses of the tribe, but Arthur had one thing they did not have: decent furniture! His magical pouches had many things inside, and clothing, furniture, and valuable items were among these things.

One never knew when the time to use such things would come. So being prepared was always the correct answer. With their shelter done, food and fire weren't that much of a hustle, as they could easily accomplish such things with the help of magic.

"We are good for now, so our goal is to find a way to break the barrier when the time comes!" Arthur said as he and his wives sat inside their little house.

Six months was the time they had to find the answer, and Arthur hoped it was enough. "We should be safe on this island," he said, but things were not as easy.

They went to sleep that night inside their house. Nothing happened between Arthur and his wives, as they all were tired, and resting was their priority.

Arthur was lying on his bed, looking at the rooftop, taking longer to fall asleep, so that was the reason he was still awake even after his wives had entered a deep sleep.

Then, something strange happened. Arthur heard a voice inside his head. It was impossible to understand what was said, but it meant something.

"What is this?" he thought, getting up from his bed, and trying his best to follow the voice.

He pinched himself to see if it was a dream, and it was real and not a dream at all! Arthur left his newly built home, and the voice led him to the shore next to his house.

It was coming from beneath the water! Arthur did not like that, but he did not feel any powerful creature underneath the water, so what could it be?

There were only regular fishes down there, and Arthur was sure regular fishes could not send mental messages. Also, with that powerful bearded man living on the island, there was no way he had not felt as if a powerful creature was living underwater.

"Well, let's dive and hope for the best!" Arthur thought as he jumped inside the water, following the strange sounds inside his head.

The deeper he went, the clearer those sounds were, until a point he could understand them! It was the standard monster's tongue, the same one Sully knew. It translated to "help."

A beast was down there, calling for help. Arthur did not know if it was a trap, but he had to check it. If it was a dangerous creature near them, then he had to be the person to go after it, making sure to protect his three wives.

"Where is it coming from?" Arthur thought.

With the help of magic, he swam like a bullet, trying to find the source of the voice, but when he did find it, Arthur could not believe what he was seeing.

"This is... this is..."

A massive turtle head! Its neck was long, and when Arthur was standing in front of its face, he noticed the entire island was on the shell of that turtle!

"T-This is massive!"

He had never seen a beast as big as that; the most impressive fact was its hidden aura! No one knew the island was a beast, not even the Zeph, leagues above Arthur.

Arthur stopped in front of the turtle's head, prepared to use his teleport to leave that place if the beast did something.

"I can not believe someone finally came!" the turtle said.<novelnext> </novelnext>

Its voice was hoarse, like a wise elderly teaching the younger generation.

"Who are you? I heard you ask for help," Arthur said.

The turtle nodded, creating huge waves on the water, "yes, I did. You are the first to understand my words! No one else on this island knows the language of the magical beasts. I wonder, are you even human?"

Arthur knew the language because he was a beast, but he did not feel like telling the details to an unknown giant turtle.

"Why do you need help? Did you know you are an island now?"

"Yes, I do. My slumber took more than expected, and an island formed on my shell. Someone put a barrier around me when I was ready to leave and swim free on the sea."

The turtle was another victim of whoever placed the barrier there. But, like everyone living on the turtle's shell, there was no way for either of them to leave.

"Do you know something about the person who put this barrier? I am trapped here, too, and wish to leave. Also, do you know someone called the Demon Emperor?" Arthur asked.

That beast sounded wise and was undoubtedly an old creature who had seen and heard many things during its life. If he could extract any information, it would be a way for both sides, as the turtle had no way of moving.

"Those who trapped me are unknown, but I know they are not from this planet, just like me. About the Demon Emperor, well, that is the title given to anyone who rules the demon continent. Such ruler changes every two hundred years, and the requirement to be the Demon Emperor is the power of a rank four mage."

Arthur was in deep thought after he heard what the turtle said. He was not sure if Zeph was telling the truth or not before, but now he was sure of it!

Zeph was probably the Demon Emperor 1000 years ago, and they kicked him out of the position because he wished to work with the other continents, which was something none of them approved! That was why someone trapped him there, but who could it be?

Zeph was at least a rank four mage when that happened, and even if lots of rank four mages got together, it would be hard to trap someone easily, especially with such a barrier, which would surely take a long time to create! Zeph had been on that island for 1000 years and got stronger, yet he could not break free.

Someone stronger than a rank four mage helped, so it could only mean it was from another planet, just like the turtle said.

"You are from another planet? What are you doing here?"

"I can't you that young man, I am sorry. But I need your help to break the barrier so all of us can leave!"

"What do you have for me?"

"The people behind this barrier used an eclipse to power this thing, so when another eclipse happens, the barrier gets weaker, and that is the perfect time to obliterate it!"

"But there is a problem. To destroy this thing, one needs the power of one of the four legendary creatures, the moon power of Ikarus!"

Arthur's heart beat faster, and he asked, "what do you mean?"

"Well, Ikarus is the only being I know that has the moon power. He is one of the four legendary creatures like me! We are all brothers. Ikarus carried the moon when younger, and I carried a planet, so my power is the World's Essence!"
