Chapter 858: Goodbye Mr. Blackfish

Chapter 858: Goodbye Mr. Blackfish
After determining that the Alfonso at the bottom of the sea was a mirror image, Saul also immediately noticed the peculiarities of the environment in front of him.

There was a hidden fluctuation of magic power in the sea near Alfonso. It was just that there was still a battle going on above, and such magic fluctuations were not at all conspicuous.

But Saul believed that as long as he got a little closer to Alfonso, he would be trapped by the means laid out by the other party.

If he wanted to escape, it would take some time, but he would not be injured or killed, after all, Alfonso would not believe that he could kill other third-ranked wizards with a mirror image of himself.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Alfonso still underestimated Saul’s mental power, and that Saul realized that there was a real person standing inside the spell before he entered the trap Alfonso had set up, I’m afraid that Saul would really have to be delayed a little bit here.

Seeing the situation, Saul did not bother to scrutinize Alfonso’s arrangement, and directly made a turn and flew towards the sea.

Now that the two third ranks had left the coast, he still had one target left.

“Does the mask that can’t be removed …… mean that Stuart will die as the Black Flame Emperor?”

Alfonso had left at some point, Royer said he was patrolling other areas, these two were already far away and Saul had nowhere to go after them, so he might as well watch the man in front of him for now.

And most crucially, Saul’s third target, also needed to be born in this place.

……

A deep pool of water by the sea.

Dozens of returning mermaids were once confined here, with specialized sorcerers watching over them in secret every day. But in the last two days, the Black Tide had come, and in order to ensure that the front defense line would not be lost, the sorcerers here had also been transferred away, only using the confinement spell to prevent the mermaids from escaping.

This confinement spell formation not only seals the deep water pool, but also provides an early warning when outsiders violently destroy the spell formation.

However, if the spell is unsealed in the right way, this spell will not give any warning.

To put it simply – home invaders are hard to prevent.

The deep pool of water was empty when the Black Tide’s power would be exhausted, but it still involved the vast majority of people’s hearts and minds.

The mermaid that was originally supposed to stay in the deep water pool had been led by a person dressed in black robes and wrapped in black mist, walking in a narrow passageway cut into a cliff.

The mermaid didn’t have legs, and although it could barely walk on land, it used its tail to crawl like a snake.

Luckily, the mermaid’s scales were also strong enough to keep them from falling off and getting hurt due to excessive wear and tear.

But mermaids, after all, are a group of people who have lived in the water for a long time, and they still encountered all sorts of unexpected and unforeseen difficulties on their way to escape.

“Mr. Blackfish.”

The mermaid Aquamarine, who originally had long blue hair, had by now cut his full head of hair to two finger lengths, which was comical to look at, but there were no mermaids in this mermaid group who would laugh at him, because all the other mermaids were like that.

Including Coral, the mermaid who had once wowed Sol.

“Mr. Blackfish.” Aquamarine called out again.

Mr. Blackfish, who was walking at the front and was shrouded in black mist, finally turned around.

“What’s wrong?” His voice was low, as if he was in a bad mood, but there was a firmness in the lowness.

“Sister’s tail is starting to bleed. We need water.”

Coral’s already tattered tail was now cracked open with several wounds and was now spilling blood.

“It’s too dry in here.” The other mermaid holding the coral said, “All of our skin is already starting to crack, if we keep this up we’ll bleed too.”

Mr. Blackfish, however, just shook his head, “If you want to get out of here, you guys shouldn’t have any association with water.”

“There are oceans, dark currents, and springs around here, but why don’t I take you guys by water? It’s because they think mermaids can’t leave the water for too long. Only by avoiding the waterways will you not be caught up.”

Mr. Blackfish had actually said this twice before.

The dozens of returning mermaids behind them didn’t really have only seven seconds of memory either.

Rather, they were in a state of panic and needed to confirm over and over again that their current escape route was correct and that their choices were fine before they could stick to this incomparably dry place and crawl hard with their tails.

It was just that Aquamarine looked at the weakened Coral and couldn’t help but speed up her steps to get to Mr. Blackfish’s side.

He whispered, “Sir, the injuries on my sister’s body are too serious, I’ll just use a small handful of water to help her moisturize, is that okay?”

Mr. Blackfish looked sideways and also said in a very small voice, “Aquamarine, do you still remember what I once told you?”

Aquamarine froze and tried to remember, “No matter what happens, leave according to the plan ……”

Before the words were finished, he paused violently, as if he then realized what the words meant.

But just because he realized it didn’t mean he understood it.

“You, you’re asking me to give up my sister?” In his excitement, he forgot to lower his voice and didn’t even use honorifics for Mr. Blackfish.

Strangely enough, Coral, who was not far behind the two, clearly heard Aquamarine’s words, but had a calm face and said nothing.

Aquamarine hadn’t realized the calmness of the person behind him, he just noticed Mr. Blackfish’s silence and tried to sound off for his fellow sister.

“Mr. Blackfish, in the beginning, it was my sister who was the first to cooperate and eat the potion you made, and contracted that horrible contamination disease, in order to have the experiments regarding the Returning Mermaids suspended, and in order to have the Returning Mermaids no longer under strict guard.”

Looking at such an excited Aquamarine, Mr. Blackfish, however, did not say anything, but just silently continued on without a moment’s delay.

In the time it took for Aquamarine to speak, she was already a few meters behind Mr. Blackfish.

He hurried to catch up again, but saw Mr. Blackfish suddenly turn around and look at him.

There was indifference in those eyes, as if he didn’t care what he wanted to say.

Because of Aquamarine’s concealment talent, he had always been a very special existence amongst the returning mermaids.

A lot of exploring, observing, and passing on information could only be done by him without being discovered.

Therefore, usually, the other mermaids would take him as their leader, and also valued his well-being the most. Even at the expense of the other mermaids, they would protect him from being discovered.

But today, on the way to escape, Aquamarine realized with a jolt that perhaps she was not the most important mermaid in Mr. Blackfish’s mind.

Or just important, but one didn’t have a say in it.

But Aquamarine didn’t want to give up, let him lose anyone, not his sister Coral!
However before Aquamarine, who had caught up with Mr. Blackfish, could speak again, Mr. Blackfish in front of him suddenly stopped.

Aquamarine nearly crashed into the other.

The blackfish in the lead stared tightly ahead, where there was clearly no one, but there was a pair of footprints on the ground.

Aquamarine followed Mr. Blackfish’s gaze and saw the footprints as well.

He immediately shut his mouth and stopped bothering Mr. Blackfish.

Flames suddenly flared up around the footprints, and the flames seemed to have a life of their own, spreading to Mr. Blackfish’s feet as if they had an autonomous consciousness.

Wizard!

Aquamarine’s eyes widened violently!
The fear that had already soaked into his bloodstream made him involuntarily start trembling.

He could only place all his hopes on Mr. Blackfish in front of him.

And the black fish didn’t move until the flames spread in front of him, before violently releasing a black smoke that directly extinguished the flames.

However, after the flame was extinguished, it violently issued another burst, as if the heat wave directly facing the magma rushed towards the black fish, directly vaporizing the black robe on his body.

Revealing the man hiding inside the black robe.

There was also the unconscious mermaid tightly held in the man’s arms!
