Chapter 867: The Sinner

Chapter 867 The Sinner
While Saul was cursing inwardly, but outwardly picking up the banner of resistance against the Black Tide monster with a controversial face, Frim also noticed the difference in the coast.

Originally, in order to conserve energy, he hadn’t been serious, but had resisted Alfonso’s attacks with a playful attitude and imprisoned Alfonso to prevent him from escaping.

But when the huge mermaid mutant appeared on the seashore, even if they were located a ways away from the seashore, Flim noticed the difference at first.

It was only at that time that Alfonso similarly went out of his way to block Frim, which allowed him to spend a little bit of time and trap Alfonso.

But after packing up Alfonso, Frim did not immediately kill him, nor did he forcefully search the other party’s consciousness body, but brought the immobile Alfonso to the seashore.

Although his main body was about to leave Nefertiti, it wasn’t as if Frim was really unconcerned about the incoming Black Tide.

It was precisely for this reason that he had semi-toughly asked Wizard Aero to maintain the defense spell formation for the entire southeastern coast in his place, and had Stuart disguise Aero as a presser.

However, by the time Frim arrived at the high ground where he could see the coast, he was just in time to see Stuart using the wind as a sword to cleave apart a hundred meter tall mermaid mutant.

Flim immediately frowned, with his eyesight, he naturally saw that the mermaid mutant’s situation was not right.

The mermaid mutant was in a special situation, and when it was far away, even Frim did not notice any abnormalities within it.

By the time he saw the mermaid mutant, Stuart had already completed his final blow.

Alfonso, who was shrouded inside by a ball of light, was heavily injured, but was still conscious, so naturally he also saw the situation on the seashore.

“What’s …… going on?” Everything that happened on the seashore was completely out of Alfonso’s plan.

Although he had spent ten years resolving to let Pearl regain her freedom and live as a true mermaid princess. Yet he wouldn’t do anything that would jeopardize the continent of Nefertiti.

This was his home, the place he had protected and fought for a hundred years.

If Pearl hadn’t been enslaved and oppressed here, with no hope in sight at all, he wouldn’t have gotten some kind of contamination disease to be able to quarantine the returning mermaids.

Watching the alienated mermaids turn into huge pollutants, a trace of guilt flashed inside Alfonso.

But soon, his guilt turned into self-blame and pain.

Because what happened next was even more completely out of the two’s expectations.

As he watched the huge mermaid mutant explode violently, Flim knew that everything was going in the direction he least expected.

In all the years of leading the Judgment Court against the Black Tide, he had also seen the Black Tide monsters refluxing back into the coastline.

But back then, the Red Sea Tree hadn’t been planted yet, and it was difficult to clean up the pollution along the shoreline, so every time the Black Tide receded, they still had to do a long aftermath to prevent the occasional Black Tide monster that was ready to recede from being attracted over by the overly dense Black Tide pollution along the seashore for a few more.

And since the Red Sea Tree had been planted on a large scale on the southeast coast, basically there had been no case of Black Tide monsters receding, and it was estimated that these low-ranked sorcerers in the Court of Ruling had pretty much forgotten about it by now.

But Frim, who was the court master, would not forget.

He looked at Alfonso inside the light cluster and questioned, “Are you trying to destroy Nefertiti?”

Alfonso’s face was filled with fear to the point of confusion.

He wasn’t afraid to fight the Black Tide monsters head on, even if they were a hundred times his number.

He wasn’t even afraid of dying on the spot in battle.

But he was afraid that all of this was caused by him letting Pearl go.

He couldn’t bear the result.

Frim couldn’t live with the result either, but it was all he could do to calm himself down.

The warm yellow mass of light kicked out Alfonso inside, then took human form and stomped on Alfonso’s face, leaving the latter to sprawl on the ground in a face-first position. “The mermaid princess can control mermaids through her mental power, don’t you know this? Back then, I destroyed her mental body ahead of time, while you re-released this monster. Although I don’t know how you repaired her mental body, I’m very clear that all of this, was caused by you!”

Alfonso was tempted to tell Frim that he simply didn’t have a cure for Pearl’s mental body.

However, his entire body was trembling, and every ounce of his muscles had gone out of his control, and he simply couldn’t say anything.

Frim let out a long sigh, then leaned down to look at Alfonso, who was being trampled under his feet.

“You remember, if the Red Sea Tree is destroyed, you are the sinner of the Court of Judgment; if the Black Tide comes ashore, you are the sinner of Nefret; if my trip, which was terminated because of you this time, ends up causing Golza to anger the Eye of the Abyss, you are the sinner of the entire wizard world!”

Alfonso’s eyes widened, and a tear suddenly slipped from the corner of his eye, falling into the land and disappearing.

Frim saw Alfonso shed a tear without the slightest touch in his heart.

He only had anger.

It was clear that he had reached the edge of Nefret and would soon be able to travel to Stout to resolve Golza, who was advancing to the fourth rank.

Who would have thought that it would be a last-minute failure.

“Was I too arrogant? Deciding that Alfonso couldn’t escape my grasp at all?”

There was a hint of faltering in Frim’s anger.

But he quickly pushed that faltering to the back of his mind and threw it out of his brain.

As the Lord of the Ruling Court, he could not afford to falter for a single moment.

Everything he did was right and future-proven.

Looking at Aero, who appeared in the distance, and Saul, who had provoked the fight against the crowd of Black Tide monsters, Flim slowly closed his eyes.

Just now when he suppressed Alfonso, there was not much power left in this consciousness split, even if he went into battle at this time his role was not as good as that of a third-order sorcerer.

It would be better to focus on letting the main consciousness body come back as fast as possible.

As long as he could return to the coast before the Red Sea Tree was severely damaged, then the loss would be bearable.

After a few moments, Flim opened his eyes again and lifted his foot to let go of Alfonso, “I originally wanted to extract your soul and make you a lonely soul in the Lost Cloisters that will never be freed. But remembering the hundreds of years you have served the Court of Judgment, I will give you a chance to die with honor.”

……

Saul stepped on top of the waves, his body undulating up and down with the sea water, where he was observing the wizards of the region taking turns to go down to the sea to resist the Black Tide Monster Fish that kept approaching the Red Sea Tree.

Originally, Saul, who had taken up the responsibility of defense command, was also going to go down to the sea, but he soon found out that most of the wizards were currently not capable of combat endurance.

In the past, everyone was fighting on the surface of the sea, although they would also be pounced on by the big waves set off by the Black Tide, but it wouldn’t be as painful as now, fighting in the over-polluted seawater all the time.

Not only was it difficult to release sorcery magic, it was also easily polluted. There were a few sorcerers who fought with black tide monsters and almost alienated themselves, nearly running into the enemy camp.

It soon became clear to Saul that the real underlying reason that made this battle incredibly difficult was still the pollution.

He made a decision to simply not go down to the sea himself, even leaving the task of commanding to the others.

He just stood in the center of the battlefield, and once any sorcerer was replaced due to the high concentration of pollution, they would immediately rush to Sol and ask him to treat them.

Saul also didn’t expect that he, who was originally invited to treat the black tide pollution on the mermaids, would end up doing his old job of treating the black tide pollution on the sorcerers!
