Chapter 867 Sinner
While Thor cursed inwardly but raised the banner of fighting against the black tide monster with a controversial look on his face, Flim also discovered something strange on the coast.
Originally, in order to save energy, he had not been serious. Instead, he resisted Alfonso's attacks with a playful attitude and imprisoned Alfonso to prevent him from escaping.
But when a huge mermaid mutant appeared on the beach, even though they were some distance away from the beach, Flim was the first to notice the abnormality.
However, Alfonso was also trying his best to stop Flim, which took him some time and trapped Alfonso.
But after dealing with Alfonso, Flim did not kill him immediately, nor did he forcibly search for the other party's consciousness. Instead, he took the immobile Alfonso to the beach.
Although his main body was about to leave Nephrite, Flim was not really unconcerned about the incoming black tide.
It was for this reason that he half-forcefully asked the wizard Ailo to maintain the defense array of the entire southeast coast on his behalf, and asked Stuart to disguise himself as Ailo as a backup.
However, when Flim reached the high ground where he could see the coast, he saw Stuart using the wind as a knife to split the hundred-meter-tall mermaid mutant in half.
Flim frowned immediately. With his keen eyesight, he could naturally see that something was wrong with the mermaid mutant.
The situation of the mermaid mutant was special. Even Flim was unable to detect any abnormality inside it when he was far away.
By the time he saw the mermaid mutant, Stuart had already delivered the finishing blow.
Although Alfonso was seriously injured and enveloped in a ball of light, he was still conscious and naturally saw the situation on the beach.
"What... is going on?" Everything that happened on the beach was completely beyond Alfonso's plan.
Although he spent ten years determined to free Pearl and let her live as a real mermaid princess, he would never do anything that would harm the Nephrite continent.
This is his home, the place he has protected and fought for for a hundred years.
If Pearl had not been enslaved and oppressed here, with no hope at all, he would not have invented some contaminated disease to isolate the atavistic mermaids.
Watching the alienated mermaid turn into a huge body of pollution, Alfonso felt a flash of guilt in his heart.
But soon, his guilt turned into self-blame and pain.
Because what happened next was completely beyond their expectations.
As he watched the giant mermaid mutant explode violently, Flim knew that everything was developing in the direction he least wanted to see.
Having led the Arbitration Tribunal to fight against the Black Tide for so many years, he has also seen the Black Tide monsters flow back to the coastline.
But the Red Sea trees had not been planted at that time, and the pollution on the shore was difficult to clean up. Therefore, after each black tide receded, they had to do a long period of follow-up work to prevent the black tide monsters that were about to retreat from being attracted again by the overly concentrated black tide pollution on the seashore.
Since the Red Sea trees were planted on a large scale on the southeast coast, there has been basically no backflow of black tide monsters. It is estimated that these low-level wizards in the Arbitration Court have almost forgotten about it.
But as the lord of the court, Flim will not forget.
He looked at Alfonso inside the ball of light and asked, "Do you want to destroy Nephrite?"
Alfonso's face was filled with extreme fear and confusion.
He was not afraid to fight the Black Tide monsters head-on, even if their number was a hundred times his own.
He was not even afraid of dying in battle.
But he was afraid that all this was caused by him letting Pearl go.
He couldn't bear this result.
Flim couldn't accept this result either, but he could only calm himself down.
The warm yellow ball of light kicked Alfonso out, then transformed into a human form and stepped on Alfonso's face, forcing the latter to lie on the ground facing the sea.
"The mermaid princess can control mermaids through her mental power. Don't you know this? I destroyed her mental body in advance, but you released this monster again. Although I don't know how you repaired her mental body, I know very well that all this was caused by you!"
Alfonso wanted to tell Flim that he had no way to cure Pearl's spirit.
But his whole body was shaking, every muscle was out of his control, and he couldn't speak at all.
Flim let out a long sigh, then leaned over to look at Alfonso who was under his feet.
"Remember, if the Red Sea Tree is destroyed, you will be a sinner of the Tribunal; if the black tide reaches the shore, you will be a sinner of Nephrite; if my journey is terminated because of you and eventually leads to Gorza angering the Eye of the Abyss, you will be a sinner of the entire wizarding world!"
Alfonso's eyes widened, and a tear suddenly slipped from the corner of his eye, fell into the ground and disappeared.
Flim saw Alfonso crying, but he was not moved at all.
He was just angry.
We have clearly reached the edge of Nephrite and can immediately go to Statet to deal with Gorza who is in the process of being promoted to the fourth level.
Who would have thought that it would fail at the last moment.
"Am I too arrogant? Do I think Alfonso can't escape my control?"
There was also a slight wavering in Flim's anger.
But he quickly suppressed this hesitation in his heart and put it out of his mind.
As the head of the Arbitration Court, he cannot waver in the slightest.
Everything he did was correct and future-proofed.
Looking at Ailo appearing in the distance and Thor who was provoking the people to fight against the black tide monsters, Flim slowly closed his eyes.
He had just suppressed Alfonso, and the power of this split consciousness was already very little. Even if it went to the battlefield now, it would not be as effective as a third-level wizard.
It is better to concentrate on getting the main consciousness back as quickly as possible.
As long as he could get back to shore before the red sea trees were severely damaged, the loss would be bearable.
After a moment, Flim opened his eyes again and released Alfonso with his foot. "I originally wanted to extract your soul and make you a lonely soul in the Lost Corridor forever. But considering that you have served the Tribunal for hundreds of years, I will give you a chance to die with dignity."
…
Thor stepped on the waves, his body rising and falling with the sea water. He was observing the wizards in the area taking turns to go into the sea to fight against the black tide monster fish that were constantly approaching the red sea tree.
Thor, who had originally taken on the responsibility of defense command, also wanted to go to the sea, but he soon discovered that most wizards currently had insufficient combat endurance.
In the past, everyone fought on the sea. Although they would be hit in the face by the huge waves caused by the Kuroshio Current, it was not as painful as it is now, fighting in seawater that is extremely polluted.
Not only was it difficult to release witchcraft magic, it was also easily contaminated. Several wizards were fighting with the black tide monsters and almost became alienated and almost ran to the enemy camp.
Thor soon realized that the fundamental reason why this battle became so difficult was the pollution.
He made a decision not to go to sea himself and even left the task of command to others.
He stood in the center of the battlefield. Once a wizard was replaced due to excessive pollution concentration, he would immediately rush to Thor and ask him for treatment.
Thor had never expected that he, who was originally invited to treat the black tide pollution on the mermaid, would end up returning to his old job and treating the black tide pollution for the wizard! (End of this chapter)
