Under the attack of [Angel Blade], a piece of Pop's turtle shield was finally broken.

But before Troy could smile, Pope's skill had already been completed.

A huge amount of water emerged from the space, instantly occupying a large area.

Then, to everyone's stunned expressions, it turned into a water ball with a diameter of one kilometer.

Julia stepped back and exclaimed, "Oh my God, how did they do that?"

What does a water ball with a diameter of one kilometer mean?

Its power is enough to destroy the entire Valkham!

However, there is a problem with this water ball.

Troy looked at the water ball in the air and wondered, “With such a big move, even if the turtle’s magic power is not exhausted, it is estimated that there is not much left.

But what’s the point of making such a big water ball?”

Troy had never fought against the sea people in his life before.

I got the information about the sea people from Annuo.

He didn't know that the sea creatures' combat effectiveness would be reduced after leaving the water.

After seeing that Haskin and others not only failed to gain the upper hand despite the advantage in numbers, but also suffered several deaths, Pope had no choice but to use the [Deep Sea Domain].

It took 90% of the existing magic power to create such a large area of ​​water - if there is not much magic power when releasing this skill, the range of [Deep Sea Domain] will be reduced accordingly.

"Lord Pop!"

When Annuo and others were moving away from the water ball, the marlin man Haskin brought four other sea creatures into the water ball and came to Pope.

"It seems that we still underestimated humans!"

Pop, who had transformed into a turtle, revealed his fatigue in his voice, "I originally thought that I could fight them for half a day, then retreat, and continue to fight them after resting.

I didn't expect things to develop to this point.

The battle just started and we lost four high-ranking sea warriors!"

Upon hearing this, several sea creatures lowered their heads in sadness.

"We misjudged the human's strength. There's something strange about the black-armored knights among them. They can actually use Lord Rutherford's body to fight!"

"And Dillu!"

The shrimp man next to him said, "I saw with my own eyes that Diluu's head was devoured by that half-dragon, half-scorpion monster. But just now, Diluu unexpectedly appeared again and attacked me."

"That human is indeed not simple."

Pop recalled the scene where Anno resolved the [Water Dragon's Roar] and said in a deep voice: "He might be the [Protector] in the rumors!"

"[Protector]?"

Haskin and other sea creatures looked confused.

Pope explained: "I have only heard a little bit of information about the Protector.

It is rumored that they are the people favored by the world.

Each protector has special abilities, and once they grow up, their combat power far exceeds that of their peers.

Every race has the possibility of having a [Protector], but the probability is very small.

Right now, we may have encountered one.”

"He is the Protector?"

Haskin turned around and looked at Anno who was standing outside the water ball in the distance, clenching his fists.

The crab man said unconvincedly: "Humph! Now that we are in the water, we can exert our full combat power.

If those humans outside come in, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

With this strength decreasing, even if he is a [Protector], we can still turn the tables!"

The [Deep Sea Domain] that Pop used up almost all of his magic power to create has no offensive power in itself.

It cannot cause any actual damage to high-level flying creatures like Annuo.

It's just a skill to change the environment.

But this is not a useless skill.

As mentioned before, such a huge amount of water, dumped into any human city, would cause a devastating blow to the city.

As for the sea creatures, fighting in water can increase their combat effectiveness by at least 30%!

For humans who are not adapted to underwater combat, entering the water will indeed reduce their combat effectiveness.

However, Haskin thought for a while and suggested: “The other side has an eighth-level strongman. With Lord Pope’s current state, it is difficult for him to gain an advantage in the battle.

And we don't know much about the protector.

Even in the water, we cannot be 100% sure of killing the Protectors and those humans.

After all, no one can guarantee that the protector has any strange tricks!"

The crab man immediately pointed at the humans outside and said, "Are we just going to watch the priests outside treat those seriously injured humans?"

"Even if the thief's injury is healed, he will not be able to fight anymore. And the hunter with a broken arm will not be able to continue fighting in the short term. The eighth-level priest will not waste a lot of mana to heal the hunter's broken arm during the confrontation."

Haskin looked at the crab man and said, "Even if the seriously injured are cured, it won't have much impact on us. What's important is the protector! Are you sure you can deal with him?"

The crab man was about to speak, but he thought of the scene where An Nuo resolved the eighth-level skill and held his words back.

Pope asked, "Haskin, what do you think?"

Haskin's eyes flashed, and he said, "Our mission is to provide cover for our compatriots heading to Sunset City and delay the high-level powerful humans.

Although we have suffered heavy losses at present, after Lord Pop released the [Deep Sea Domain], the enemy has been held back by us.

As long as they dare to leave, Lord Pop can bring this huge amount of water over the human towns and destroy everything."

Pope pondered for a while and said, "Moving the water ball requires extra magic power, but compared with the previous consumption, this amount of magic power is nothing. For now, we will follow Haskin's instructions. If something unexpected happens later, we can react accordingly!"

The sea creatures: "Understood!"

…

After hearing Annuo say that the sea creatures' combat effectiveness would increase dramatically in the water, Troy and others guarding outside the water ball became a little hesitant.

It is too dangerous to enter the water ball and fight with the sea creatures.

But if I leave the water ball alone, I can only watch Pop slowly recover his magic power inside.

"Are we going to stay here forever?"

Alpha looked at Troy.

While Troy was treating Roger and Assassin's injuries, he looked at Anno and asked, "Anno, do you have any good ideas?"

Annuo pondered for a while and shook his head.

Even if Annuo summoned the ice elves for help, there would be nothing he could do about such a huge water ball - the ice elves would exhaust their magic power and would not be able to turn so much water into ice!

"Then we can only waste time with them!"

Troy sighed.

Upon hearing this, Alpha sat cross-legged in the void.

Mage Julia has already closed her eyes and started meditating to quickly recover her magic power.

After receiving initial treatment, Roger returned to the small town of Gruul alone to recuperate.

Assassin and Kuro, who were also receiving treatment, insisted on staying here.

An Nuo stared at the sea creatures in the water ball whose health was recovering rapidly, and suddenly he figured out something, confirming his previous speculation.

"These guys clearly have a favorable environment, but they didn't take the initiative to attack. It turns out that they want to delay us. Their real goal is 100% Hidden Dragon City!"

At this moment, a dragon roar was heard from the distant sky!

An Nuo looked back and felt a little relieved.

Adelaide, who left last night, now returned from Xuelong City with Ella.

And in Ella's hands, were those gold-embossed books.
