Chapter 863 – Mermaid Mutant

Chapter 863 – Mermaid Mutant

“Lord Saul.” A sorcerer ran over and respectfully said to Sol, “The black tide has withdrawn ten nautical miles. The sorcerer in charge of monitoring has issued a notice that the black tide is over, do you want to remain here now? Or return to the Eternal Night Palace?”

Saul was now confused, he looked at Emperor Ai Luo who was flying from the sea towards the coast, and was somewhat skeptical of the diary’s warning.

Everything was going so well, and the wizards of the continent of Nephrite had once again resisted the attack of the Black Tide. Now that the crisis was over, the wizards at sea were returning to the coast one after another, ready to pack up and head back.

“Could it be that I completely misunderstood, and that this Black Tide attack wasn’t the Masquerade that the diary was referring to? Or is it because I asked Floco to make a trip over, causing the future that was foretold to change?”

Just as Saul was wondering if he should call Xander over to continue his plan, the sea …… suddenly boiled over.

Sol instantly pushed away the wizard standing in front of him and took two steps forward to the edge of the cliff.

The sorcerer who was pushed away by Saul had no time to be surprised before he was startled by the situation of the ocean behind him.

“I… I’ll report ……”

He left somewhat anxiously before he even had time to say who he was reporting to.

And the Black Flame Emperor Ai Luo, who was about to reach the shore, immediately stopped and looked down at his feet.

The sea surface had already become calm due to the receding of the Black Tide, plus the Control Array of the Court of Judgment hadn’t been removed yet, so the sea surface was only slightly fluctuating due to the water currents.

But now, a tiny bubble emerged from underwater, and exploded with a pop when it reached the surface.

The bubbles were getting bigger and bigger, just like a pot of boiling water, with firewood constantly being filled under the stove.

Saul also came to the surface of the sea, more than a hundred meters away from the Black Flame Emperor, he also looked at the surface of the sea.

“The temperature of the sea water has not risen, could it be an earth tremor?”

He scanned the depths of the seawater with his spiritual power.

Not far away, the Black Flame Emperor had already rushed into the seawater.

It wasn’t just him, there were several other second-ranked sorcerers present who had also rushed in.

This sea was very close to the Red Sea Tree, and absolutely nothing could go wrong.

Soon, more people gathered on the sea.

It was just that the first batch of people who had entered the seabed had yet to return, including Black Flame’s Emperor, so although the remaining people were anxious, no one dared to move around.

The bubbles on the surface of the sea became denser and denser, but Saul’s mental scanning didn’t find anything unusual.

There was no mutated spiritual power, no chaotic magical power.

Even apart from the unusually exuberant breath of life, Saul hardly found any noteworthy anomalies.

“Go down and take a look?” Saul narrowed his eyes.

Just then, a mass of black shadows suddenly rose from the seabed.

Those black shadows broke through the confines of the sea at an extremely fast speed and flew into the sky.

Only then did Saul see that these black shadows were actually the sorcerers that had just entered the seabed.

However, their faces were surprisingly full of incredulity at this time.

“What happened?” Some other sorcerers questioned loudly.

“Mermaids, the mermaids are alienated! All alienated!”

There was actually some trembling in the voice of the person who answered.

“Bang!”

The surface of the sea suddenly exploded with huge waves, as if a heavyweight cannonball had crashed into the sea.

The wave rushed into the sky, and soon went close to the ground, and the Elohim Wizard revealed himself from the wave.

What the other sorcerers didn’t expect was that this fourth-ranked Black Flame Emperor actually showed a trace of distress.

Saul’s eyes stared. Just now, even though it was only for a split second, he still discovered a break in Emperor Ai Luo’s body.

There had been a brief break in the opponent’s mental power.

It was as if the mask covering his face had cracked a seam.

Revealing a little bit of the true face under the mask.

This Black Flame Emperor in front of him was really Stuart in disguise!
Saul did not have the energy to think about where the Black Flame Emperor had gone for the time being, and thought that it would be impossible for a fourth-order sorcerer to disguise himself specifically to deal with himself.

The defense spell formation behind him was still shining, and Saul realized that an even more gigantic black shadow was rising from the bottom of the sea.

Thinking about the warning about Stuart’s death, he immediately rushed forward and came to Stuart’s side, who was located at the very front.

“The situation at the bottom of the sea is unknown, let’s retreat to the back first.” Saul whispered to Stuart.

Stuart glanced at Saul in surprise, the expression on his face almost strained.

But he quickly revealed a look of disdain in his pride, “Since the situation is not right, naturally I will stand in front.”

Saul’s heart sank, he knew that what Stuart was saying and doing now was more in line with the identity of the Black Flame Emperor.

If danger arose and the fourth-ranked sorcerer was the first to run, then I’m afraid that all the other sorcerers involved in the defense war would follow in chaos.

The more accidents that occurred, the more important it was to have someone to hold down the fort.

Stuart had already put on the “mask” of the Black Flame Emperor, so he couldn’t do anything to lower the morale while wearing the mask.

Saul also understood Stuart’s thoughts, and knew that unless he exposed his identity on the spot, the other party would definitely not leave with him.

Was it possible to just watch Stuart go to his death?

Just at this time, the sea surface finally stopped bubbling upwards, the boiling disappeared, but an extremely powerful oppressive force spread out from the bottom of the sea.

The culprit who had just let many wizards go down to the sea to explore, and was so shocked that he fled out of the deep sea finally appeared!
Sol’s eyes widened when he saw the guy who emerged from the sea.

“What is this?”

What emerged from under the sea was not the transformed mermaid that Saul had seen many times before.

Instead, it was a dark-colored giant that couldn’t be seen at all from its silhouette.

The surface of the giant object looked like it was covered with a layer of mud, which was still being peeled off by the seawater as it emerged from the sea.

“A giant mud monster?”

The monster that looked like it was piled up with mud couldn’t see any limbs, torsos, or heads, but Saul was able to sense extremely vigorous life force from the other party.

It was just like what he had felt earlier when he explored the seabed with his spiritual power.

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have thought that that kind of spiritual energy was emitted by the mud monster in front of him.

The mud monster was moving, yet the bones and sinews that supported its actions were invisible. And don’t look at the fact that the mud on its body was always dripping down towards the surface of the sea, but its size kept expanding.

“That’s not mud, it’s the rotting flesh of a mermaid.” Stuart, who was still performing on the side, told Saul softly.

“Mermaid’s carrion? Such a large volume, are all the mermaids …… on the bottom of the sea dead?”

It seemed to be afraid that Saul would notice that there was a problem with his identity, so Stuart did not speak again.

But Stuart didn’t say much, naturally someone spoke up to inform the crowd of what had happened.

At this time, although the Royer sorcerer in charge of this area was not present, the Judgment Court had long ago learned a lot of experience from years of fighting against the Black Tide.

Almost immediately, someone temporarily replaced Royer as the new commander.

It was one of the sorcerers who had once gone deep under the sea.

Only to see that the surprise on his face had been replaced by anger, and with the power of his sorcery, he drank loudly, “This monster is a mass of flesh sludge formed from the corpses of alienated and dead mermaids, and their resentful spirits are huddled inside the flesh sludge, obscured by the black tide pollution, we can’t allow it to continue its development, or else the remaining black tide pollution in the sea will be the nourishment that will help it grow stronger! Now strike the Killer Fish Mutant with all your might!”
