Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 452: The Wingless Hero and the Ghost Island Son-in-law
Arche, a town in the Continent of Heaven.

“There are no city walls here.”

"Of course. After all, most of the monsters that can move around on the Sky Continent can fly. Walls can't stop them at all, and the people of the Sky Continent won't build useless things."

"But there seems to be something strange covering the surroundings of this town in front of me."

In Broly's perception, the town ahead seemed to be covered by an invisible air shield.

"That is barrier magic, a means to prevent flying monsters from attacking towns. You can think of it as the defense of the Sky Continent. If you touch it casually, you will be attacked."

The little god explained.

"So, how do I get in?"

It is easy to tear the barrier in front of you, but Broly is not a monster that attacks towns. He will not destroy other people's things at will unless they provoke him.

"Don't worry, Arche's garrison soldiers have spotted you. Look, they are already flying towards you."

Broly looked in the direction the little god pointed and saw two people wearing straw raincoats woven from bird feathers and with a pair of gray wings on their backs, each holding a spear in their hands, flying towards him.

"Where are you from, kid? How dare you get so close to the edge of the magic barrier? Don't you know that this is very dangerous?"

The flying Celestial soldiers approached and used the rune magic stones in their hands to open the defense surface of the town's magic barrier. One of the men began to scold Broly.

"They seem to think that you, who can fly, are one of their own children. Your behavior of approaching the magic barrier is equivalent to a child doing something dangerous."

The villain god explained it reliably.

"My name is Broly. I came from the Demon Continent. I am not from the Heaven Continent. This is the first Heaven Clan town I have encountered."

Broly introduced himself.

"Ok?"

The Sky Clan soldier who scolded him frowned and looked at the ground more than ten meters away from his feet. He obviously did not believe what the boy said.

"Donovan, it seems true what he said, he has no wings."

Another Sky Clan soldier went around behind the boy and discovered that Broly had no wings, so he said to his companion.

"Then how do you fly?"

The only people in this world who can fly, excluding flying monsters, are the Celestials.

Of course, some magic can also make people fly, but few people have developed it.

"Use Qi... Never mind. I fly with the help of this sword."

Broly wanted to explain the principle of air flight, but found it troublesome, so he changed the reason.

"This sword has the ability to manipulate gravity."

Broly demonstrated it and let the two Celestial Clan soldiers experience the feeling of rising and falling personally, and easily made the two Celestial Clan soldiers in front of him believe it.

"So what are you doing in Arche?"

After believing Broly's words, Donovan asked again.

"Don't you welcome outsiders here?"

Broly asked back.

"Uh……"

The two Sky Clan soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment. After a while, the other soldier answered the question: "It's not that we don't welcome outsiders, but we rarely have races from other continents visit us, so..."

"We must find out your purpose and protect Arche's safety."

Donovan took over and said.

"Although there are few enemies of other races in the Heavenly Continent due to the environment, there are often monsters attacking towns here, and there are also some monsters that are good at camouflage, so the guards here are still very diligent and responsible."

The villain God explains the situation to Broly.

"I'm here to find a partner. I also want to find a master of combat skills from your Celestial Clan so that I can exchange ideas with him."

Broly honestly explained his purpose, and the two soldiers let him in after confirming that he was not some disguised monster.

Entering Arche, Broly found that there were buildings without stairs everywhere.

"The Celestial Tribe all move by flying, so stairs are unnecessary."

Broly adapts to the local customs and also uses flying to move around.

The Sky Clan members who passed by noticed that he had no wings and occasionally cast sympathetic glances at him.

These days, the people of the tribe seemed to treat him as a disabled child of their own.

It is worth mentioning that although they have wings on their backs, the flight of the Celestials is actually maintained by magic, not the physical flight of flapping wings.

"Excuse me, is there an Adventurer's Guild here?"

Broly stopped a flying passerby and asked him about it. He was about to issue a request to meet someone.

"what is that?"

But the Sky Clan member who was held back asked back, as if he had never heard of the Adventurer's Guild.

"The Celestials rarely interact with the outside world, and have not developed an organization like the Adventurer's Guild."

The little god began to explain.

“It’s a place to post some commissions and hire other people to help do things.”

Broly could only change his statement.

"You mean the mutual aid board? The one on the platform in the middle of town."

Following the directions of a passerby from the Celestial Clan, he arrived at the center of Arche.

There is a tall tower here, which is used to guard against flying monsters and also for townspeople to issue commissions.

"I want to issue a commission."

Broly found a female Celestial who was in charge of hanging commissions on the wall and told her his purpose.

"Please pay 3 Feather Coins."

"what is that?"

"The universal currency of the Celestial Continent, made from the feathers of some bird monster."

"Why didn't you tell me this ahead of time so I could put on some?"

"There is no exchange. The only people who use feathers as currency are the Celestials on the Celestial Continent."

"Ok."

After finishing the conversation with the little god in his mind, Broly looked at the Celestial Clan woman who was waiting for him to pay. He took out his purse and asked, "Can I use gold and silver coins?"

After taking the gold and silver coins and looking at them, the Celestial Clan woman shook her head and said, "This may be valuable, but we don't accept this here."

The clothing and ornaments worn by the Celestials are either made of feathers or bones of certain creatures; even their weapons are made of bone.

"You might be able to barter."

The little god suggested.

"What about these?"

Broly took out the monster materials he had defeated during his journey in the Crystal Palace, and this time he was not rejected.

He exchanged some feather coins of various colors, and under the strange gaze of the female Celestial Clan, issued a request to give feather coins to anyone who came to see him.

The meeting point was a high-rise hotel with Celestial characteristics that he had chosen at the suggestion of a Celestial woman who was similar to the guild's receptionist.

While waiting for the Celestial woman to come and meet him, Broly asked the little god about the Celestial master of combat skills.

But the answer he got disappointed Broly, because the Continent of Heaven has been in peace all year round. There are many masters who can deal with flying monsters, but few masters who can fight against humans.

The highest level is only a king level, and the opponent is also a barrier magician. As for his combat level, according to the little god, as long as he gets close to him, he will definitely be killed in one move. Unless he wants to train his ability to break the barrier, there is no point in sparring with him.

"Okay, then all that's left is to find a target to capture in the Continent of Heaven."

The winged Celestials reminded Broly of Jibril. Although the wings of the Celestials were on their backs instead of their waists, Broly still had hope of finding an unknown target to be conquered here.

This hope gradually disappeared until Broly came down from the Continent of Sky after crossing it.

"I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up."

Broly, wearing a colorful feather suit, complained after leaving the Continent of Heaven.

"Although we didn't find any capture targets, it was still a good journey, wasn't it, kind-hearted Wingless Hero?"

The villain god made a joke. Broly needed to earn feather coins to issue commissions, so he took on many missions to destroy flying monsters on the Continent of Heaven.

However, because he pursued high efficiency in making money, the missions he accepted were all to defeat some dangerous flying monsters, but the residents of the Celestial Clan towns who received his help were very grateful to him.

After all, if every dangerous flying monster that was conquered attacked the town, it would cause a lot of casualties.

In addition, every time he received a reward, he would use the commission of meeting people to return the commission to the local residents, which caused some misunderstandings, and gradually Broly got the reputation of "the warm-hearted wingless hero".

The clothes he was wearing were woven for him by a master weaver from the Celestial Tribe, who used the feathers of the S-rank bird monsters he had defeated, in order to express his gratitude for his help.

Of course, the original color of the feathers was green, but as the number of places passed and the number of monsters conquered increased, more feathers were woven into it, so it became the colorful appearance it is today.

The people of the Celestial Clan on the Celestial Continent, however, were thanking the wingless heroes who passed by and helped their Celestial Clan town with their kindness in their own way.

"Nice trip?"

Broly thought of the excellent bird-like monster dishes made by the Celestial Tribe. Although he did not find an opponent worthy of competing with to improve his fighting skills, nor did he find a target recognized by the Crystal Palace, the juicy, sweet and delicious various bird-like monster dishes made Broly feel that his trip to the Celestial Continent was not in vain.

"Indeed, if there is a chance, let's go there again and try some bird monster cuisine."

Broly's slightly depressed mood suddenly improved.

"Next time you go to eat, as long as you wear this outfit, you can eat for free."

"really?"

"real."

"Forget it, it's not like I don't have money."

There are still some beautiful feather coins left in Broly's Crystal Palace.

"Where are we going to arrive next?"

Broly asked the little man-god floating beside him.

"It's the Kingdom of Bigenlilu."

The villain god replied.

"Are there any experts in combat skills out there?"

"There are no masters of combat skills in the Kingdom of Bigenlilu, but the ghost tribe on the Ghost Island that has a contract with the Kingdom of Bigenlilu does have a ghost god with powerful combat skills."

"who is it?"

"Ghost, Marta."

"where?"

"Demon Island."

"Guide the way!"

Broly, who was originally heading to the Kingdom of Bigenlilu, made a detour and, under the guidance of the God of Man, headed to the Island of Demons, which was located a hundred nautical miles northeast of the northeast port of the Kingdom of Bigenlilu.

The residents on the island are all ghosts. They have red skin and one or two horns on their heads. The men are strong and have ferocious faces, while the women have curvy figures and softer faces, like the women of Atofei, but with a different skin color.

"The ghost tribe is considered a branch of the demon tribe. During the Second Human-Demon War, the land was split apart, and Ghost Island was the land that split from the Demon Continent at that time.

Later, the ghost tribe living on this island received assistance from the first king of the Bigenlilu Kingdom and reached a contract with the Bigenlilu Kingdom.

The Kingdom of Bigenlilu provides material assistance to the ghost tribe every year, and the ghost tribe of Onigashima is required to protect the Kingdom of Bigenlilu.

This covenant has lasted for many years and has not been broken to this day.”

After the little god finished speaking, he pointed at the red-skinned, bald-headed strong man who was teaching the ghost children boxing below.

"That's the ghost god Marta."

Broly flew straight down, and the demon god Marta raised his head and looked at him before he got close.

"Hello, my name is Broly, and I'm a traveler who's traveling around the world, looking for a partner and an opponent. I heard that your fighting skills are very strong, so I took the liberty to come and visit you. I wonder if Mr. Marta is interested in fighting with me?"

Broly asked bluntly.

"Invading enemies?"

Marta asked, tilting her head.

"I am not your enemy. I am just someone who came to spar with you in battle."

Broly denied his enemy's statement and stated his purpose again.

The ghost thought about it and seemed to understand what Broly, the stranger, said.

He raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the beach in the distance, then said, "Let's go to a deserted place, the two of us, and fight. It's awesome!"

This ghost god was surprisingly easy to communicate with, and when Broly heard from the human god that he could not use weapons, he just threw the Wang Long Sword aside.

There were two men standing on the beach, one was tall and strong with arms that could run a horse, and the other was short and strong but looked like a baby in comparison. After Broly said that he could fight, the tall and strong demon jumped directly over with no intention of holding back.

"As long as he is sure that they are combatants, the ghost god Marta will not hold back. On the contrary, when facing people who are not combatants, this guy, even if he is a relatively gentle ghost, will never harm non-combatants. Of course, except for those who are accidentally affected..."

After the little god finished explaining, the attack of the ghost god Marta missed as expected, but the powerful force of his punch pushed away the sand on the beach where it was hit, forming a violent shock wave.

After dodging the attack, he jumped into the sky. At this time, the Saiyan who was falling from above kicked him, and the ghost god Marta actually noticed it.

With his hands crossed above his head, he took the powerful kick head-on with a bang, and his feet sank into the sand.

But the next moment, the ghost roared and deflected Broly who kicked his wrist. He turned sideways and supported the beach ground with one hand. He pulled his thick right red leg directly out of the sand and kicked at Broly who was stuck in the air with fierce force.

Broly wanted to fly away to dodge, but his current low energy state made him realize that he had no time to dodge the attack.

So he bent his arms, raised his legs, and took a defensive stance. Then with a bang, he was blown away like a ball.

"Bang~"

A huge wave was smashed onto the surface of the sea.

However, Broly swam back soon, with a look of surprise on his little face.

Because this ghost god Marta is indeed a master of combat.

"You are very strong. You defended yourself."

The ghost god Marta praised sincerely.

"the same as you."

Although this is due to the opponent's physique, if it's just about the amount of energy, Broly can maintain a similar level to the opponent.

"Still, fighting?"

"of course."

"Cool!"

In response to the single-word sound, the ghost god Marta showed a ferocious smile and rushed over again like a heavy human tank.

This guy has thick skin and strong muscles, and his speed is inconsistent with his huge body.

Although not as agile as Broly, this demon can always attack Broly with his skilled fighting skills and awareness.

On the contrary, Broly's attack on him, even with the sword version of the Light Sword, could hardly break through his tough red skin defense. He was another opponent who could not be defeated without using more Qi.

[No, I can fight. As long as I can use all my hand knives to attack one place in a short period of time, I can break the defense of the ghost in front of me.]

Broly's idea is good, but the demon god Marta is not a dead target. After realizing that the boy is attacking the same part of his body, he will seize the opportunity to counterattack Broly, making it difficult for Broly to break through the defense through cumulative attacks.

When in a low energy state, the ghost god Marta, who has amazing defense, is a very difficult opponent to defeat.

However, after two days and two nights of fighting on the beach, Broly managed to break the man's defense.

"I lost."

Although it was just a tiny breach, the ghost god Marta still admitted defeat generously.

"You're better than me. I'm hungry. Do you want to eat with me?"

It is not known whether he has demon blood or not, but although the demon god Marta did not give him the title of Fist Hero similar to Sword Hero like Atofi did in the previous round, he still invited him to dinner.

The food was sea fish, which tasted a little fishy, ​​but Broly seemed very satisfied after eating, perhaps because he was hungry after not eating for two days.

During this time, Broly expressed his desire to see the women of Onigashima, and the ghost god Marta was very happy when he learned that he was looking for a partner.

"Marrying a strong man will give birth to healthier and stronger children."

He readily summoned the demons from Onigashima and introduced the boy in front of everyone as a strong man who could defeat them, causing the red-skinned demons to look at Broly with some heat in their eyes.

Unfortunately, the silent Crystal Palace prevented many ghosts who wanted to keep Broly as their ghost son-in-law from succeeding.
Broly was warmly entertained on Onigashima for two days before he said goodbye and left amid the pitying gazes of a group of beautiful demon girls.
