Chapter 854 – Coastline Defense Array

Chapter 854 – Coastline Defense Formation

There was no wind at the seashore.

It was quite counterintuitive.

However, when Saul swept ahead, he saw that the stone ground of the original shoreline had been arranged with a ring of sorcery spell formations using a special powder.

Sweeping across the entire visible shore, there could be hundreds of such spells.

A single spell formation was not complicated, it was just an ordinary air barrier spell formation, but the combination of hundreds of spell formations was enough to make the original coast with a pleasant sea breeze completely turn into a windless sea.

“Banning the wind on the seashore, such a big deal.”

The news that Saul had come over to participate in the defense had already been spread in advance to the ears of the wizard in the defense zone. He hadn’t been here long before he saw Royer fly over and descend beside him.

“Haha, Saul, I didn’t expect you to come over. I saw that you’ve been closed for the past few days, and I thought that you were planning to do experiments until the Black Tide receded.”

Saul knew that the Black Tide was not a one or two day thing, looking around, all the wizards were on standby, and he thought that the diary warning of the “Masquerade” would not happen at this time.

But he still came over, just in case.

“I wasn’t paying attention to the time when I was doing my experiments, and I remembered that recently it seemed to be the day when the Black Tide was reported to be coming. How about that, I’m not late, am I?”

Royer looked happy and patted Sol’s shoulder, “Of course not, but the first wave of the Black Tide is coming. No matter what, I’ll take your word for it if you can come over. In a moment, you’ll follow me in action.”

The words were a promise, but since Saul had come to the coast, Royer couldn’t let him act alone at will.

Letting Saul follow him was the best, not only could he keep an eye on people, but also let Saul really contribute to fending off the Black Tide.

Saul understood in his heart, but there was no need to say anything.

“Sure, but what’s it going to be? Do I need to make preparations?”

“I’m just in charge of a few nearby defense zones, once a third-order monster appears in any of the defense zones, or the defense line is in a state of emergency, that’s where I’ll go.”

“Hmm.” Saul understood that it was the fire-fighting team, and he asked casually, “Where’s Alfonso? Is he in charge of the other zone?”

“That’s not true. Now that the third-order wizards of the Court of Judgment who were out there have returned, we’re splitting the entire southeastern coastline equally, and he’s still in charge of watching over the mermaids.”

Royer raised his hand and pointed to the sea ahead, “Here, he’s right there.”

At this time, Alfonso should be below the surface of the sea, and Saul couldn’t see him in person, but there were vaguely familiar spiritual power fluctuations coming from him. It was just that it was far away, and it wasn’t quite confirmed.

Since Royer said that Alfonso was over there, the spiritual energy that Saul felt should be his.

“At this time of the day, why is he still watching over the mermaids under the sea? Aren’t returning mermaids that might be infected with the contamination disease basically quarantined separately?”

Royer shrugged his shoulders, “It’s most of them, but even though the mermaids are just cleaning up the contaminated garbage, it’s best to stay out of trouble at this time of the year.”

As he said this, Sol felt that Royer’s tone was a bit cold.

Sol, who had already seen the end of Royer’s death, vaguely understood what Royer was upset about.

Now was not the time for him to strike.

Between the two men’s conversations, the coast, which was already devoid of sea breeze, suddenly became quieter.

An even deeper black shadow suddenly emerged from the darkened sky and sea in the distance.

That black shadow started out as a line, and then gradually became wider and larger, turning into a black curtain connecting heaven and earth.

Saul couldn’t help but hold his breath.

The black curtain was peaceful and quiet, and was not accompanied by lightning and thunder, but it gave people a sense of despair and powerlessness.

It was as if the world had disappeared without a trace from that black line, and the places that were swept by that black line seemed to be annihilated into dust.

Saul knew that what had just happened was nothing more than his own fantasy, a reverence for the first time he had seen a terrifying celestial phenomenon that was enough to destroy a continent. The black tide was not like the eye of the wind in the Land of the Unknown.

The black tide that appeared in the eye of the wind in the Land of the Masterless was like the flow of water that gushed out when a dam broke. Although it was also powerful, it didn’t want to see the black tide coming across an ocean in front of them, like a tsunami that covered the sky and made people despair.

However, Saul was not someone who would be intimidated by celestial phenomena. After all, he had all faced the Illusory World’s Suicide Demon head on.

The Deathtrap was not a terrifying celestial phenomenon, but an astrological phenomenon was more like it.

As Saul quietly watched the Black Tide come, Royer was also carefully observing him, realizing that when Saul first faced the Black Tide, although he was also shocked, he didn’t have the trepidation that many people had when they first saw the Black Tide.

This also made Royer recognize Saul even more.

“Now is not the time for us to take the field, wait until the first wave of the Black Tide comes over and those monsters appear, that’s the time for us to strike.”

Having said that, Royer still flew high into the air, with Sol following closely behind.

Above their heads were the thick clouds, and the two were in mid-air, near the highest place.

But the two were not the most powerful sorcerers in the neighborhood.

In the sea in front of them, a figure suddenly appeared standing high in the sky. At the same time, a powerful spiritual pressure nearly covered the entire Red Sea waters.

All the other sorcerers were wearing similarly styled sorcerer’s vestments, but only he remained in a black gown, with starlight shining faintly from the hem of his clothes.

That was the emperor of the Black Inferno Empire, the fourth-ranked sorcerer Ai Luo!

Those present did not salute His Majesty Ai Luo.

The current Black Tide was not the time to be polite.

But even so, the nearby sorcerers couldn’t help but glance at the Black Flame Emperor one after another.

The other party was a fourth-ranked sorcerer, and being able to stand here gave the crowd endless support.

Only Saul’s eyes moved slightly, remembering seeing Stuart disguised as Emperor Ai Luo the other day, guessing in his mind whether the person in front of him was Emperor Ai Luo himself or not?
Although Emperor Ai Luo had just released a spiritual power pressure that was enough to suppress the entire coast, it was also possible that he had used some special and powerful sorcery props.

However, today was only the first day of dealing with the Black Tide, the ball hadn’t even started yet, and the person here could also be the real Emperor Black Flame.

Saul looked around, “Isn’t Lord Frim over here?”

This coast was one of the most prominent promontories along the entire southeastern coast, and it was also the place that bore the most pressure from the Black Tide.

If the Lord of the Court of Judgment wasn’t here, where else could he be?

Royer eyed the front, but still answered Sol’s question, ”The Court Master will not easily appear in the defense zone. He has to control the defense spell formation of the entire coastline. He can’t leave the core area of the spell formation for a long time, or else this defense spell formation will stop functioning.”

“If we really encounter a problem that can’t be solved by anyone present, even if we temporarily suspend the spell formation, the Court Master will still step in. There was a time when this happened before.” Royer showed a bitter smile on his face, “But a lot of sorcerers died elsewhere because the spell formation stopped.”

At this time, the first black wave was already close at hand, and everyone tilted their heads up, looking at the black tide that seemed to descend from the sky in front of them.

“Boom!”

The great wave slapped down, carrying a terrifying aura that destroyed the sky and the earth.

Suddenly, a white barrier that enveloped the entire coast appeared behind the crowd, suddenly releasing a brilliant light.

It was like a blazing sun rising behind them.

The speed of the black tide, which had just been so powerful, plummeted, and the terrifying pressure dissipated by a few points.

“Is this the defense spell formation that the Court of Judgment has laid down along the entire coastline?” Saul was shocked for a moment, “No wonder a Fourth Order is needed to sit in the center all the time.”
