Chapter 857: Calm?
Over the next three days, things went strangely smoothly.
Perhaps because of the two external aids, the Black Flame Emperor and Thor, the casualties have been well controlled. Although there are deaths among official wizards, the death toll has not reached the warning line, and the apprentices have not even used up all their substitutes.
Therefore, Roye regained some smile on his face and was able to joke with Thor.
"It seems that this Kuroshio is still a baby. I wonder how long it will take us to prepare for the next Kuroshio. One year? Or five years?"
Saul didn't respond. Before leaving get off work, they discussed the busy issue seriously.
During this period, Alfonso hardly ever left the bottom of the sea, but his mental fluctuations remained stable without any changes.
This means that the seabed situation is controllable.
But even so, Roye would still go down to the bottom of the sea for a walk every day, as if he was afraid that something might happen to Alfonso.
From the fourth day on, the new round of black tides began to weaken. Even the monsters in the sea were not as dense as they were at the beginning.
Thor had also suffered some minor injuries during the battles these days, mainly because on the third day, there were a lot of alienated monsters attacking the defense zone at the same time.
At that time, Roye was already entangled in another defense zone, but at the same time, another defense zone was occupied by two third-level alien monsters, and could hardly hold out for even a minute.
Thor braved the tide of monsters and rushed to the edge of the defense zone. Then he took the attack of one of the third-level monsters and concentrated his firepower to destroy another third-level monster. Then he turned around and used his tentacles to directly suck up the remaining third-level mutated monsters, thus saving the official wizards in that defense zone from death.
He suffered some minor injuries on his back, and his wizard robe engraved with a defensive array was torn in half.
However, although Thor rescued in time, after the attack of two alienated monsters equivalent to the third level, there was only one official wizard left in the entire defense zone.
In this small defense area, all the wizard apprentices died the first moment they faced the third-level monster.
The last remaining official wizards automatically merged into the rear defense zone according to the arrangement of the Arbitration Court, and completely abandoned the small group defense zone at the front.
It seemed that Thor was unable to change the result of the loss of a defense zone, but he rescued a second-level wizard, which had a very big impact on a defense zone.
After resolving a small crisis, Thor returned along the same path and helped clear out many monsters along the way.
By the time he returned to Roye who had rushed over, even the wound on his back had completely healed.
Now, as the battle was about to end, the number of monsters and the height of the black tide were decreasing, and Thor finally returned to the shore and breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he habitually glanced at the sea, and Alfonso's mental strength remained stable.
"Is this the end?" Thor thought silently in his heart, "Did I misunderstand the diary? The reason and occasion for the death of the three third-levels were not the Black Tide Defense War?"
He looked up and saw the Black Flame Emperor Ailo again.
There was no major crisis in the past few days, so the emperor did not take any formal action and continued to monitor the overall situation.
At this time, Roye suddenly returned to the shore and said, "Thor, you have worked hard these days. The tide has begun to recede. Now the battle is basically over. There are only some finishing touches left. You don't have to work hard. You can go back now."
Thor's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that the unveiling of the mask actually happens at the end of the ball? That’s right, only at the end of the masquerade is it the time for the dancer to take off the mask.
Thor's spirits rose. He couldn't leave now!
"Now that I'm here, I might as well hold on to the end." Thor shook his head.
Roye glanced at Thor and suddenly changed his tone, "Well, with you here, these wizards will feel more at ease."
During the time Thor was there, in addition to killing monsters, he would occasionally rescue wizards who were not yet dead.
Once the wizards in the defense zone are severely damaged, they will be pulled into the deep sea by the monsters. Their defenses will be broken, and they will be polluted immediately when they enter the black tide.
Some powerful wizards were able to escape, but the pollution on their bodies was enough to make them lose all their fighting power and turn them into sheep to be slaughtered at will.
These are the people that Thor mainly treats.
He is only good at treating Kuroshio pollution, and the people here need treatment for Kuroshio pollution the most.
Therefore, after four days of fighting and healing, Thor's reputation in the entire Tribunal reached a height that even their local third-level wizards could hardly achieve.
Almost on par with Royer and Alfonso.
Therefore, what Roye said about other wizards being more at ease was not empty talk.
But after praising Thor, he added, "Then I'll leave this to you. When the Black Tide is completely over, the Court of Arbitration will double the amount of materials you consumed."
"Next, I'm going to go check out the defense areas that other third-level wizards are in charge of. Anyway, we have Emperor Ailo here, so no matter what happens elsewhere, nothing here will happen."
Roye laughed, and without waiting for Thor to speak, he turned into a beam of fire and flew away along the coast.
Thor was confused by the other party's sudden action.
"Why did Luo Ye leave when I didn't go back? He left here at the last minute. Was he going to reveal his true face?"
Thor breathed in the stinking air, his heart still calm. He looked at the Black Flame Emperor in front of him, and then at Alfonso's stable mental power coming from the sea, and thought to himself: "It doesn't matter, if one escapes, there are still two. If you really can't participate in the masquerade described in the diary, you can also let Midor come out after the black tide ends. By then, Nephrite will be missing three heavyweight third-level wizards, and Midor's appearance will be a timely relief. If Sander operates well in the future, he should be able to gain a firm foothold."
Thor had already prepared a backup plan, so he was not in a hurry about Roye's sudden departure. He still supervised the situation in the defense area that Roye was originally in charge of.
At this moment, his eyes unconsciously moved to the water below the Red Sea forest.
"Roye didn't seem to go to the seabed to check on Alfonso today."
"You went there every day before, why didn't you go today?"
Thor frowned a little, "Is it because you think there is no need to go and see it today?"
His gaze shifted to the Black Flame Emperor again, and his eyes suddenly widened.
"The Black Flame Emperor in front of us is probably Stuart in disguise. So is the spiritual power coming from the bottom of the sea definitely the real Alfonso?"
When Roye checked on Alfonso before, he must have been there. But this time Roye didn't check on Alfonso. Does that mean Roye knows... that Alfonso is not there?
Thor's brows gradually relaxed, and he swept across the entire defense area again. Suddenly, he took off from the cliff and crashed into the sea like a cannonball.
Roye had led the way once, and this time Sol found Alfonso's location on his own without any effort.
At this time, Thor saw Alfonso still standing in the witchcraft circle, concentrating on observing the mermaids all over the ground.
Thor swam quickly towards Alfonso, but stopped halfway through.
There was no other reason. At this distance, with Thor's powerful mental strength, he could already sense something was wrong with Alfonso.
The Alfonso in front of him was simply a fake mirror image! The real Alfonso was no longer in the magic circle, but his mental power continued to spread steadily toward the sea, creating the illusion that he was still at the bottom of the sea.
"Such a fake mirror image is Alfonso's mask. Now, he has taken off the mask. This means that his death is approaching!"
