Chapter 923: The Raging Flames of War (Part 3)

Chapter 937: The Raging Flames of War (Part 3)

Countless murlocs mightily swarmed from all directions and headed towards the altar of skeletons where they gathered. Most of them melted into the surrounding green pus without even touching the altar, while a handful managed to fuse their bones into the altar to become a part of it.

In the midst of this process, there was more and more green pus added. But this pus did not disperse in all directions. Instead, it gathered towards the center of the altar and was infused into a rusty, shapeless metal strip.

With countless murlocs becoming sacrifices and immeasurable green pus being infused within it, that long metal strip that was stuck in the center of the skeleton altar slowly started to glow with gold-green light rays.

As the altar gradually grew bigger, the speed at which it as absorbing the sacrifices also grew faster. Thus the light rays on that long metal strip also grew stronger and stronger. And finally, at some point, the originally rusty, long metal strip suddenly shook violently, and all the rust on it vanished as if by magic and transformed into a long spear.

A closer look at this long spear, and one could see that there were two missing parts at the tip. This was, in fact, a trident that was missing its left and right forks.

As this broken trident revealed itself in entirety, the large skeleton altar started to shake violently. As it shook, its form slowly changed, and the rate at which it was absorbing the sacrifices grew faster and faster.

At this time, somewhere near the surface of the sea, many murloc elders were combining forces to cast magic. They paid no heed to the loss of their fellow murlocs as they chanted some incantation that sounded obscured and insane. This incantation was accompanied by the disappearance of dead bodies of murlocs, as well as many of the living ones that were found on the surface of the sea. It was as though something invisible had swallowed them. After some time, a strange mix of drums and songs suddenly sounded within the sea, and then the water beneath the surface of the sea cracked to reveal a void. From a gap in the void, a strange grayish-green thing squeezed its way out and fell into the seawater.

That thing had a head like a fish and the body of a man. At first glance, it looked a little similar to the murlocs, but its body was not bent like the murlocs and it did not look as thin as them. On the contrary, it had well-developed muscles and appeared to be exceptionally strong. There were many dark and light green patterns all over its body, which made people giddy when they looked at it. Is eyes bulged out like those of a chameleon and were rotating continuously, making it impossible to tell what it was looking at.

This creature did not look ferocious. Though it was surrounded by murlocs, which meant “food” was easily within reach, it showed no interest. It twisted and moved its head about, as though it was looking for something.

When the murloc elders saw that they had summoned what they wanted to summon, they immediately beckoned everyone to worship it. Speaking of which, it was strange to see that following the worship of the murlocs, the body of this thing rapidly expanded. In as short as a few breaths’ time, it had become a towering giant that was as big as a mountain.

The fish-headed giant with a human body arose to bring the seabed beneath its feet. Its shoulders had already extended beyond the surface of the sea. It did not seem to relish in an environment without water. When its head just left the water, it opened its mouth wide and let out a sharp, piercing yet vague cry.

As it opened its mouth to cry out loud, dark green mucus seeped out from its body.

This mucus was so thick that it did not melt and disperse even in the seawater. It wrapped around the body of the creature as though it were a leather coat. This creature also possessed an amazing defense ability. The magic light beam coming from the Highest Tower happened to hit it on its head. But this spell that could kill a large number of murlocs with a single explosion could only cause the mucus wrapped around it to slide about a little. It was not even enough to hurt a single piece of scale on its body.

But when it was hit by this magic light beam, it was obvious that the giant was angry. It left out a piercing roar, took a great step forward and set off in the direction of the Highest Tower.

Inside the Highest Tower, the Legendary masters had seen how this monster appeared. Many faces registered great changes.

“This is… Lord of the Abyss?!”

“Impossible! The Lord of the Abyss is much too powerful. There is no way it can set good into the Main Plane!”

“Offering sacrifices… Through a massive amount of sacrifices, the murlocs created a makeshift profane region for it to bypass the enchantment of the Main Plane so that it could enter Earth…”

“But what’s the point? It won’t be long before it moves out of the profane region and triggers the enchantment of the Main Plane. With a single mine, it’s sure death for it!”

“Before that, we should think about how we are going to fight this battle!”

Amidst the confusion, someone took control over the defense system of the Highest Tower without anyone else’s knowledge and shot a burning white light beam of positive energy at the giant. This white light beam hit the giant accurately in the chest.

This blow was significantly more powerful and effective than the previous burning hot light beam. A large mass of mucus was evaporated into thick green vapor. Before new mucus could be produced, a large patch of the giant’s chest was burned, and a white wound appeared.

But inside the Highest Tower, more than one mages who were well-studied in the area of demons of the Abyss cried out loud simultaneously.

“Oh dear!”

Before they could finish their lines, that giant had already let out a roar of pain and anger.

As it roared, the air around it shook and produced a rippling effect. Countless ripples, big and small alike, appeared. One after another, fish-headed giants with human bodies walked out of the ripples. Like this giant, they were also covered in green mucus, and they were letting out strange cries unceasingly while heading in the direction of the Highest Tower.

These fellows had strange body shapes, but they were extremely fast. They were so fast that they could even gallop on water. With every step they took, they could cover a distance of at least 10 meters. This is much faster than any fine galloping steed.

The most bizarre thing was, in the course of galloping, every one of them would constantly emit a nauseating green smoke. And this smoke would soon gather to cover a large area of the surface of the sea.

The mages who studied about demons of the abyss had all gone pale in the face. But they did not have any time to complain. All they could do was to hurriedly get back into action and confront the attacks.

“Use positive energy. Explosive effect, large-scale bombing,” shouted an elderly mage. “Blow the “sea mist” away! Otherwise, its summoning speed will only get faster and faster!”

“Leave that to me,” Sage Mill said coldly. “In the face of the Lord of Abyss, it’s time for us, the old ones, to step forth and do something!”

With that, he disappeared in a flash and had reappeared at the peak of the Highest Tower. With both hands clasped before his chest, he was mumbling something under his breath as he prepared to execute a massive magic spell.

There were succeeding light rays flickering, and a few other legendary mages appeared by his side as his convoys to protect him.

A moment later, Master Mill completed his spell. There were white lights flickering in both his hands. Countless white light balls could be vaguely seen within the white lights. They were rapidly whirling about and were a dazzling sight to behold.

“Go!”

The white light ball drew an arc as it flew over a long distance and landed in the middle of the green smoke.

The next moment, it blew up. But the way it blew up was unlike any other common spells. It became a huge, white array that enveloped a vast expanse of the sea.

Inside this magic array, the white rain of positive energy was falling mightily and colliding with the green smoke. It was making a continuous hissing sound, which sounded like a drop of water meeting magma. The green smoke was a pile of snow placed next to burning flames, melting rapidly.

The white magic array did not sustain for long. But when it disappeared, almost all the green smoke on the surface of the sea had also dispersed. The amount left was not even enough to cover the sea.

“There’s nothing much to fear about the Lord of the Abyss!” Sage Mage said as he stared coldly at that giant that was still roaring and summoning monsters. His eyes were brimming with murderous intent as he said, “Those shrimps must have thought that we would suffer a loss by summoning this fellow. They are just living in their dreams!”

Inside the Highest Tower, another legendary mage shouted loudly to all the mages. Then he issued the order to attack.

“Bomb them! Blow them up! Just keep the bombs going! Don’t be stingy over the use of the magic pool and kill every single one of those shrimps!”

From the various defense facilities of the Highest Tower, a multitudinous amount of magic shot out from within. Colorful light rays gathered into a brilliant torrent of magic and engulfed the army of monsters that was surging over.

This war between the murlocs and the humans was considered to be in full swing at this very moment.

In the sky, Sui Xiong watched the battlefield with a frown as his heart was filled with worry.

“The scale of this war is getting bigger and bigger… This war, how exactly are we going to end it?”
