Chapter 883: Tears of a Mermaid
Chapter 870 – Tears of a Mermaid
The explosion only happened in a split second.
The aftermath, however, lasted for a long time.
Many Black Tide Monster Fish still stubbornly swam towards where Alfonso was originally after the explosion.
But they were then engulfed by the bursting black mist and didn’t swim out again.
Because of Alfonso’s sacrifice, the pressure on the defense zone was instantly reduced by half, and some of the sorcerers who were about to be unable to support themselves finally had a chance to catch their breath.
But Saul knew that everything was not over yet.
Although Alfonso’s self-explosion killed most of the Black Tide monster fish that surrounded him, there were still some in the periphery that survived and, after the black fog gradually dissipated, stopped obsessing over Alfonso and turned their heads to be attracted by the excessive Black Tide pollution on this side of the Red Sea Tree again.
Only the density and intensity of the enemies were weaker than before.
The injured wizards also finally had a chance to rest.
But Saul never left the Red Sea, he stood guard at the very center of the battlefield, still treating every sorcerer who came for contamination.
There was no telling how many threads of fate of the sorcerers he had treated now surrounded him. They cheerfully flocked around Saul, showing great closeness.
However, Saul knew that the influence of these destiny threads would not allow him to lead his counterpart sorcerers to rebel against the Court of Judgment, but they could also be Saul’s help when the time was right.
It’s just that those who are interested have already noticed that ever since Alfonso blew himself up, Saul has only used his left hand to heal everyone.
His right hand had been held tightly.
And from time to time, he would still look down at the palm of his hand.
What Saul was looking at was a pearl.
Ordinary looking, not big enough or even round enough.
But it still shone brightly, and did not change its beauty for the eyes of the world.
This was the tears shed by the mermaid princess Pearl, which turned into a pearl the moment it fell into Sol’s palm.
The mermaid princess, who had been ignorant, tasted the pain of sobriety as soon as she regained consciousness.
After Alfonso blew himself up, Pearl let out a cry, shed a tear, and then, like a candle that had burned to the end, extinguished the flame of life with a giggle.
The Little Mermaid that Saul read about ended up as a bubble flying into the sky, while Pearl was turned into black ashes and fell into the sea.
Saul did not retain the powder between his fingers, which should also be the end that Pearl wanted.
After pulling Pearl, he had already discovered that Pearl’s body had been possessed by a high-level existence, and had used her body to carry out energy mobilization that exceeded her load, resulting in Pearl’s consciousness recovering a lot as a result, but her body was completely destroyed.
Even the corpse could not be maintained.
Only the tear that fell into Sol’s palm was probably the last bit of her self.
Only this little bit of self was also abandoned by Pearl with the passing of Alfonso.
The diary turned over of its own accord after a long time.
[January 25th, 321st year of the Solstice Calendar, Sunny.
Mermaids are the spirits of the sea.
The tears of the mermaid.
are the sighs of the sea.
If you take the ocean’s favor.
Then you can become a friend of the ocean.]
Perhaps it was the special nature of Pearl’s ability, perhaps it was the special nature of her bloodline, perhaps it was also the influence of the water god Froak, the Pearl in Sol’s hand was actually a witchcraft prop recognized by the diary.
After reading the introduction of the diary, Saul had some guesses about the ability of the pearl in the water, but the specific method of use still needed to be experimented with later.
His spiritual power swept through and collected the mermaid’s tears into the storage device.
There was some difficulty with it.
The storage device was, after all, only a spatial prop made by a second-order sorcerer. After storing the mermaid’s tears, the spatial power was less stable.
It seemed that in the future, Saul would have to study how to improve the storage device.
Those ancient sorcery props didn’t have this problem, their own seals guaranteed that they wouldn’t affect normal space props. The battle continued, and Saul’s healing work didn’t stop.
After an unknown amount of time, a light suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
Everyone’s hearts rejoiced, thinking that the defense spell formation had been restarted.
However, Saul knew that the time was less than two hours.
He looked up and saw a second sun appear in the sky.
The warm yellow sun was bright and warm, dispelling the cold from the deep sea.
“It’s the Court Master!”
“The Court Master has come over!”
Soon there were others who recognized Frim as well.
Although they weren’t sure why Frim, who was supposed to be at the back maintaining the spell formation, had appeared at the front line. But as the absolute core figure of the Ruling Court, he gave the crowd boundless confidence just by appearing.
Without revealing his true form, Frim glowed like a true sun.
Then, without the need for any special attack maneuvers, the Black Tide monsters that were originally attacking the wizards in the deep sea turned their bellies over one by one like dead fish and floated on the surface of the sea.
The sorcerers below followed suit and swam up, striking out to finish off their enemies.
The light of the second sun high in the sky shone far away, and Saul saw a large number of Black Tide monsters floating on the sea surface along the southeastern coastline.
Those monsters were already dying when they floated up, and were then completely killed by the other sorcerers who rushed over.
It was just that, despite the fact that Frim had stepped in, the farther war zone was still still being attacked by Black Tide monsters, and there were also some Black Tide monsters located at the bottom of the sea that weren’t irradiated, and it still required other wizards to go deeper into the sea full of pollution to fight.
But no matter what, Frim alone had done the battle work of almost half of the wizards along the entire coastline.
Worthy of being a fourth-ranked sorcerer.
In person!
After another ten minutes or so after Frim appeared, the defense spell behind him finally lit up again.
Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief, then killed the remaining monsters still destroying the Red Sea Woods as quickly as possible before going outside the defense spell formation to meet the enemy.
Although the battle hadn’t completely ended, everyone knew that the crisis had passed.
The defense spell formation isolated the Black Tide monsters and the Red Sea Tree, as well as the super concentrated pollution near the Red Sea Tree.
In a little while, the monsters that couldn’t sense the Black Tide pollution would leave and follow the ebbing tide back to where they came from.
Of course, the seawater pollution inside the defense spell still needed to be dealt with. Relying on the Red Sea Tree alone was too slow, and the mermaids under the Red Sea Tree were all dead.
Without the mermaids taking away the stem pieces of the Red Sea Tree that stored the black tide pollution, that Red Sea Tree would sooner or later spit out the pollution it had eaten again!
Looking at the Red Sea Tree that had lost nearly 30% of its size, Sol retreated back to the cliff.
His healing mission had been successfully completed, and his taut spirit slackened the moment his feet hit the ground.
Saul staggered a step and nearly sat on the ground.
But an arm reached out to hold him.
Saul turned around and was shocked to find that it was Royer!
But Saul skillfully turns his shock into anger.
“Where the hell have you been?”
Being scolded by such an outsider as Saul, Royer wasn’t angry, he also looked bad, with a terrible pallor, and his mental body was very unstable.
But the whole was not life-threatening.
Royer, who had always been cheeky and self-centered, revealed a bitter expression, “I, I really died once.”
