Chapter 686: What are you waiting for?

Chapter 686 What are you waiting for

But Camus seemed to only want to activate the Wind Eye, and when the Wind Eye began to operate, even though she was temporarily suppressed by Byron, she didn’t reappear.

In order to save Saul, Byron did not hesitate to use the power of the Elf King.

And it was to the best of his ability.

Using power beyond his tolerance range in such a way, he definitely needed to pay a considerable price.

Saul was also well aware of this, so after realizing what Byron was doing, he immediately summoned Corey to have her prepare an ice lock spell.

“How did he know that I have an ice lock spell formation?” Although Keri was a bit puzzled, she quickly began to set up as Saul requested.

Saul was about to ask Pei’er to go get Corey’s mirror when he was suddenly blinded by a blinding flash of dazzling light.

He quickly turned his head to look and saw that a black rift had suddenly appeared behind Byron.

This black rift might not be black, it was just that nothing could be seen, thus making anyone who saw it feel that a piece of the world was missing, thus leaving only nothingness.

However, inside the black rift, some seven-colored halos of light soon appeared.

The edges of these halos were irregular arcs, and they were constantly changing, as if they were fluctuating water ripples.

The changing halos in turn vaguely took on a human form.

A mass of halos appeared from behind Byron, protruding from a few rounded edges, as if an arm, or some kind of tentacle, they were like fond lovers, caressing Byron’s shoulders and chest from his back.

“Elves!”

Beside him was the exclamation of a friend.

Thor, for his part, rushed forward, his arms transforming into tentacles as he tried to fish for souls and banish the halo behind Byron.

But when he felt that he had sprinted to Byron with speed, it dawned on him again that he had only lifted the paw of his first foot.

Time had slowed!
No, it wasn’t time, it was Thor’s perception of time that was distorted.

This seemed to be an ability unique to elves, and Sol had seen it once before within the Wizard’s Tower.

Saul’s brain seemed to slow down, and his heart desperately tried to dispel the halos, but he could only watch as Byron was surrounded by the halos and then dragged a little bit into the black gap.

And until Byron completely disappeared, he continued to use the powerful energy from the Elf King to help Sol control the eye of the wind.

When both the halo and Byron disappeared into the black slit, that slit abruptly disappeared.

Just as abruptly as it had appeared.

The lagging sensation of loss of control disappeared with it, consciousness and limbs uncoordinated, and Saul’s entire body stumbled and nearly fell to the ground.

His hand helped the energy column at his side, which brought him back to his feet.

“This method won’t work either.”

Thor suppressed his inner turmoil and tried to take a deep breath to bring his sanity back.

And the eye of the wind, without Byron to suppress it, spun faster with a vengeance.

The black tide poured out almost in the blink of an eye.

This time, Saul and his friends were the first to be engulfed by the black tide.

But this time, Saul was able to get out of the black tide even faster than the last time.

At his feet, An, Agu, and Herman, who had just used their last bit of sanity to help him get out of it, were transformed into irrational evil spirits in a wail.

The previous tragedy was repeated once again.

Pelle quickly lost her sanity and fell into the sky.

Thor, who was at her side, tried to pull her back, only to find that no matter whether he pulled on Pelle’s hand or arm, that part of the limb would melt like butter meeting a red-hot knife.

He couldn’t hold on to her at all.

“Lord Saul!”

Came a distant shout.

Thor looked sideways and saw Marsh, who had first appeared in the pages of the Golden Book.

He was standing on a huge, inverted mushroom and was paddling on the black tide with another mushroom.

But at this point, Marsh was covered in mushrooms.

The mushrooms burrowed through every hole in his body and grew wildly. Soon, Marsh’s efforts to paddle became stiff.

Finally, as he completely turned into hundreds of clustered mushrooms, his cries died out.

Saul watched in silence.

With a wave of his hand, he took all of the Consciousnesses that had been Evilized into his diary.

But the black pages of the book they had re-transformed into were tattered and torn.

There was also no silver font appearing on the pages. Thor waved his hand again, attempting to reclaim Marsh’s soul, only to realize that the other was too far away.

Without further anger or pain, Saul turned in another direction.

“Herbert should be mutating next as well.”

Sure enough, the firelight soon shone on Saul’s face which had been transformed into a black skeleton.

“After Herbert’s alienation, the others will soon die as well …… Wait, no!”

Saul’s neck turned violently, and his collar bone “clicked”.

“How could Herbert alienate faster than other low ranked wizards?”

Previously, Saul either came out late or didn’t pay attention to that side, surprisingly, he never noticed that Herbert’s speed of alienation wasn’t right.

It was as if he hadn’t struggled at all, actively letting go of all his defenses and allowing the black tide to contaminate him.

Saul didn’t try to escape this time, but used the only remaining magic power that still listened to him to summon the giant bird Throwing Throw that was hovering uneasily high in the air.

Throwing was obviously also affected by the black tide, when Saul asked it to put down its tentacles to pull itself to the sea of fire, what Throwing put down was a large number of densely packed tentacles like the legs of a long-footed insect.

The bones in Saul’s body were numb.

However, Throw’s flight did not rely on magic power, and at this time, this function had not been lost.

Thor reaches out and grabs the dangling tentacles, only for the others to start trying to burrow into his skin – of course, they fail, and Thor now has no skin.

Through Throw’s vigorous fluttering of his wings, Saul finally reached the top of the flaming sea.

And he could finally see what was happening here.

The crimson flame was indeed burning above the black tide, but it wasn’t touching it at all, instead it was burning on the layers of melted and rotting corpses that were floating on the surface of the water!

As the corpses fluctuated with the waves, the flames connected in rows on top of them kept changing their forms as well.

In the end, it turned into a terrifying, demonic grinning face.

“Herbert is not alienated in this state.” Saul finally realized, “He is burning the lives of others to provide himself with power as a way to maintain his sanity.”

If Herbert in this state wasn’t alienated, then was he in the precognitive dream also not tainted and alienated?
“Saul!”

Saul heard the voice of a familiar person again.

He swept through the flames below and finally saw Brando’s-head in a corner!

At this moment, Brando’s body was burning, but his head seemed to have not been set ablaze yet due to the protection of that helmet.

“Help me!”

Brando agonizingly begged Saul for help.

Saul knew full well that he was in the preview scenario of the golden book page, and it made no sense at all to save anyone ……

But he rushed down anyway.

But Herbert’s flames suddenly blaze over.

“There should be enough dead people here to get you out.” Saul had been alert to the flames, and at that moment, he controlled Throw to narrowly dodge them.

Herbert said nothing, just flung over a few more fire whips.

Luckily, though, his opponent was also fighting the contamination hard, so he wasn’t able to focus on attacking Saul.

Thor dodged again, his pupil-less eyes already cold.

“A few times you’ve turned into flames, but now it seems clear that you still have the strength left to leave. But you’re just camouflaging being tainted to keep burning here.”

“Why don’t you leave?”

“What are you waiting for?”

“What are you looking for?”

“Yes, you’re waiting for the eye of the storm to erupt.”

“You’re waiting for the anchor point to appear!”

The flames settled for a moment, then suddenly launched a fierce attack on Sol.

Thor jumps out of the way again, but Throw is set ablaze.

“Chirp-“

It let out a wail, then all of its long whiskers suddenly came together in one force, throwing Throw away far away from Sol before the flames spread completely.

The giant yellowish bird then turned into a large mass of bright flames and crashed into the black tide, giggling.
