"The monster is coming!"

“…”

At some point, a panicked roar appeared inside the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce’s headquarters.

Several mermaids climbed over the courtyard wall and rushed into the camp.

Although he was quickly killed by the knights who came rushing over after hearing the noise, he still caused quite a stir.

Moreover, more and more mermaids appeared nearby, quietly gathered together, and began to attack the gate of the base.

"Report!"

Someone came running:

"The Poseidon headquarters has been confirmed to have fallen, and the Scythe Brotherhood can no longer resist. We request support."

"Support?" Emma hummed, "Even if we don't care about the past, we can't even save our own people, so how can we support them?"

"Lula!"

"What now?"

Although she thought her daughter was weak in character and not like the Dragon King Zimerman, she was very smart.

When encountering problems, they can indeed handle them more safely than I can.

"Because of the fog, the situation in the city is not very clear at the moment."

Lula's eyes were thoughtful. "We don't know how many mermaids have come ashore, where they came from, why they attacked Freeport, and whether there are other alien species."

"but……"

"If the Poseidon Society and the Scythe Brotherhood can't stop us, we probably won't be able to hold out for much longer."

She stood up and said in a muffled voice:

"Have you contacted the City Lord's Mansion? Why didn't Lord Sodan send troops to suppress it?"

"Gather all our men. If we really can't resist, then we can retreat temporarily..."

"The Freeport supplies nearly 70% of the marine products in Archduke Ferdinand's territory. It is of irreplaceable importance. He will never sit idly by."

"Send someone out of the city to inform the Grand Duke of the situation here. Even if we can't hold on to the station, we can still retake Freeport as long as we hold on until reinforcements arrive."

At this time, Lula showed the aura of a leader of a faction, and various arrangements were carried out in an orderly manner.

Her approach was impeccable.

"boom!"

A loud noise came from the west side of the base, and exclamations and shouts became louder, which also made the faces of several people on the scene change.

Can't be stopped so soon?

He hurried out of the meeting hall. At this time, the entire Chamber of Commerce was brightly lit by countless torches.

The stone wall on the west side has collapsed, and several dark, thick tentacles are dancing wildly, entangled with human figures.

The tentacles were as thick as a person's embrace. With a slight twist, the houses collapsed and the guards of the Chamber of Commerce were easily swept away.

The knights were no match for it.

"drink!"

Emma took the first step.

She rushed forward and stepped on the ground. The ground beneath her feet squirmed, and countless vines sprang out from it and wrapped around the tentacles.

“Clatter…”

The tangled, dancing vines covered the tentacles and then pulled them downwards fiercely.

"boom!"

A horrible monster was pulled out from the darkness.

"Squid?"

"octopus?"

Everyone was shocked.

Whether it was a squid or an octopus, no one had ever seen such a horrific size.

The huge head is like a small mountain, and the dozens of tentacles are like an open spider web. Each tentacles is as thick as a tree, and when they dance, they look like a group of giant snakes in revelry.

Its skin is a deep black color, as if it can swallow the surrounding light, making it difficult to see its true appearance. Its body is covered with densely packed eyes of different sizes, like stars in the night sky, but with a chilling weirdness.

Those tentacles were tens of meters long and covered with sharp suction cups. Each suction cup was like a giant mouth full of sharp teeth, which could easily tear the prey into pieces.

When its true form came into view, an indescribable feeling of oppression and fear came over me.

It was like death had come. The guards of the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce fled in all directions and were unable to mount any resistance.

“Wow…”

The tentacles rose up, huge power burst out, the vines shattered one after another, and Emma couldn't help but lean back, her face turning pale instantly.

"Legendary creature!"

Lula's eyes shrink:

"Let's go together!"

Before she finished her words, a figure beside her turned into a wisp of smoke and shot towards the monster.

crow!

Crow is not only the name of a person, but also a super-quality magic seal.

Super seal - Mist Crow! The body can turn into smoke, gathering and dispersing at will, and can gain a great advantage against opponents of the same level.

The only weakness is that the attack power is insufficient.

“Swish!”

The crow's hands had sharp claws, which suddenly scratched the monster's tentacle, immediately tearing a long crack.

only.

The crack that looks hideous to ordinary people seems insignificant when it is placed on the body of a monster with a terrifying size.

"Bang!"

With a dull thud, the crow flew back.

As he was about to fall heavily to the ground, his body suddenly transformed into a ball of smoke, gathering into shape not far away.

"careful!"

The crow looked terrified:

"Its body has a terrifying power."

The power of fear? Carl rushed forward with his sword in hand, still thinking about the meaning of this sentence, when his body and mind suddenly sent out warning signs.

Danger!

Danger!

…

An uncontrollable panic emerged in my heart.

It made his heart beat faster, his mouth dry, and the arms holding the two swords even felt a little weak.

This is……

First ring witchcraft - Aura of fear! Monsters certainly don't know witchcraft, but this kind of pressure on consciousness and body is similar to the witchcraft recorded in the book.

"careful!"

With a low roar, Carl didn't have time to think, his body shook and became five meters tall, and he swung his sword with fear in his heart.

Combat skill——Fierce Wind Slash!

The numerous sword shadows, wrapped in a gray petrifying force, collided with the tentacles attacking from the front.

Judging from the monster’s size and the destructive power it had just displayed, the opponent’s strength was terrifying and he was far from being its opponent.

so……

Zero-ring witchcraft—secondary magic force field! Zero-ring witchcraft—gravitational distortion! Zero-ring witchcraft—water vortex! Magic item—control gravity! All kinds of witchcraft and magic items were used together.

Thanks to the increase in mental power, the power of zero-ring witchcraft has also been enhanced. With the superposition of many witchcrafts, even legendary creatures will be affected.

The tentacles that were dancing wildly suddenly slowed down.

"Bang!"

"Pom Pom!"

The loud noise echoed in the field. Carl's muscles were tense, but he was still exhausted and had to retreat little by little.

If it weren't for the many witchcrafts that weakened him, he would have been seriously injured on the spot.

The suction cups and sharp teeth on the tentacles were gnawing at the giant sword frantically, making a crisp crackling sound, which was even more creepy.

'no!'

'Even with the sorcery weakening it, its power is still far greater than mine, and this thing is immune to petrification!'

Carl gritted his teeth and held on, his eyes flickering back and forth, and all kinds of analytical data flashed through his mind.

If he fights alone, he has no chance of winning.

at the same time.

"superior!"

Lula had a huge machete in her hand, and with the cooperation of Odysseus, she chopped at the monster's tentacles.

Countless vines fell from the sky and tightly wrapped around the monster.

The crows attacked the monster's eyes.

"roar!"

A terrifying roar exploded out of nowhere, several figures were blown away, and the vines turned into fragments all over the sky.

The rumbling sound was like a substance, sweeping across the entire station, and the windows of the nearby houses were blown apart.

Compared to Carl, the others were even weaker and were blown away at the first contact.

Fortunately, this is the headquarters of the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce, which is stockpiled with various powerful equipment, some of which can severely damage legendary creatures.

"shoot!"

"collapse……"

The powerful crossbow, which required the combined efforts of several people to pull the bowstring, trembled violently, and arrows several meters long were shot out with lightning speed.

The powerful kinetic energy of this arrow can even penetrate city walls.

"puff!"

“Puff!”

The monster leaned back, arrows instantly appeared on its head, and blue blood gushed out.

This is not the end yet.

"boom!"

The gunpowder hidden in the arrow exploded, instantly covering the monster's entire head, causing it to scream miserably.

"fire!"

Lula's eyes lit up: "It's afraid of fire!"

Although the attacks from the few people just now caused some injuries, they were of no importance to the monster.

The exploding flames instantly severely damaged it.

There is no reason why the difference in attack power would be so huge, that's because the fire has a boosting effect on its damage.

"Bang!"

The ground shook, and Carl was the first to make changes.

Fire seal!

“Wow…”

Two flames appeared on the giant sword in his hand and slashed fiercely at the monster's waving tentacles.

"puff!"

With a burning sound, a piece of tentacle fell heavily to the ground, and the suction cups covered with sharp teeth were still wriggling.

really!

Fire has a damage bonus.

Just now, even the power of petrification had little effect on the monster, but the flames could easily cut off the tentacles.

"superior!"

Lula roared, wrapped a ball of burning cloth with her machete, and rushed towards the monster with the others.

Burning vines and splashing kerosene swarmed towards the monster.

"Bang!"

"boom……"

The sound of collision continued.

The monster, covered in flames, screamed miserably, waving countless tentacles wildly, wreaking havoc in the Chamber of Commerce’s headquarters.

Its size is so terrifying, comparable to a small mountain, and even if it were burned, it would be impossible to burn it all in a short time.

The only person who can block it head-on is Carl.

Others can only assist from the side.

Combat Skill - Divine Judgment! The blazing flames danced and spun in the air, slashing heavily into the monster's body, and terrifying power burst out.

"boom!"

The monster as big as a hill was blown away.

The long period of fighting and maintaining the giant size made Carl's body tremble and feel weak. At this time, the sea whale bell on his body rang, and a surge of strength surged in his body again.

"Come again!"

"boom!"

“Boom…”

After a long time.

Carl shrank back to his normal size, his whole body trembled slightly, and his face turned pale.

"Legendary creatures, are they so powerful?"

The entire garrison had several great knights, hundreds of knights, and all kinds of high-powered weapons, but they almost couldn't take down the monster.

Glance around.

Almost half of the huge garrison was reduced to ruins, and countless knights and knights' squires were killed.

Since legendary creatures are so strong, how did they hunt them in the past? It's impossible for a force to mobilize all its members every time they go out to sea, right? "No!"

Crow was tall and thin, and didn't like to talk much. He shook his head when he heard this:

"Ordinary legendary creatures are not that strong, and things in the water will become even weaker when they come ashore."

"What we encountered this time is definitely an exception!"

"Mr. Carl." Lula gestured: "You do the last one."

According to the rules at sea, whoever kills the prey last has the first right to choose the prey.

Carl nodded.

At this time, dozens of the monster's tentacles were cut off, and the remaining body was covered with burns, and only instinct was left to wriggle.

But as long as you get close, you can still feel the fear deep in your bones.

It's hard to look directly at.

"puff!"

Carl suppressed his fear and stabbed out with his broadsword. As the blade stirred, the monster gradually stopped struggling.

When the monster died, a familiar breath surged into Carl’s sea of ​​consciousness, causing his expression to change slightly.

Hmm? Essence?

Before he could make a careful distinction, a loud bang was heard at the gate of the station, and countless mermaids rushed in roaring.

“Stop them!”

“No!”

Lula's eyes showed despair.

After the monsters' rampage, the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce suffered heavy casualties, and the strength of several great knights was also greatly reduced.

Faced with the mermaids rushing in, it was impossible to form an effective resistance.

not to mention……

There seemed to be other legendary creatures approaching from behind, and there were also some mermaids who were comparable to great knights.

"Walk!"

"Let's get out of here first."

In the chaos, taking advantage of the cover of darkness and fog, Carl quickly collected the corpse of the legendary creature into the fragments of the divine domain.

Then flee in a hurry.

* * * Source quality: 0.2 is not an illusion!

Carl's face was solemn. When he killed the legendary creature just now, a breath surged into his sea of ​​consciousness.

That breath is indeed Essence! 'Can I get Essence by killing a legendary creature? Or does the legendary creature itself contain Essence?'

'or……'

"Which legendary creature is special?"

If you can get essence by killing legendary creatures, then there is one more way to obtain essence.

The legendary creatures were still too strong for him now, but he might be able to hunt them easily in the future.

"Apart from beings related to gods, can legendary creatures also have essence? Or does this legendary creature have the blood of gods?"

"Uncle."

Aya's voice interrupted Karl's thoughts.

She was wrapped in a thin blanket, curled up and moved closer, her eyes flickering, and after thinking for a while, she spoke slowly: "I seem to have seen Leon."

"Um?"

Carl came back to his senses:

"Is it an illusion?"

"Leon has died of water blight. It's been so long and you still can't accept it."

"No." Aya shook her head and whispered, "It's a mermaid."

“Although his appearance has changed, I think that mermaid is Leon. I… won’t make a mistake.”

Karl turned his head and looked at Aya.

Aya had a serious expression on her face, not looking confused at all, but what she said was too unbelievable.

"impossible……"

"I won't admit my mistake!"

Aya gritted her teeth:

"Leon and I grew up together, ate together, and slept together. Even if he changed his appearance, I would still recognize him."

"Does he recognize you?" Carl asked.

Aya was silent.

She desperately shouted Leon's name, but got no response and was almost killed.

Even so.

"No mistake, no mistake, that's Leon, the mermaid...even if it's Leon who changed."

"Uncle, I know you don't believe it."

She turned sideways and lowered her voice: "I was a little skeptical at first, but I just heard from a few people that Miss Lula's brother turned into a merman."

"Brother?" Carl frowned. "The former president's son who died in water service?"

"He is not dead. Instead, he was soaked in a pool using a special method and kept somewhere else." Aya said:

"Some time ago, he turned into a mermaid."

?

Carl's eyes narrowed.

If what Aya said was true, then there was an explanation for the sudden appearance of the mermaids in the Endless Sea.

The patient who was suffering from water slavery turned into a mermaid! Blood witchcraft? No! It was the power of the evil god! There was a certain evil god who had been silently transforming normal people into mermaids.

Karl spoke, his voice hoarse:

"Aya, do you know how many people are thrown into the water every year because of water confinement?"

"I don't know the exact number, but there are people suffering from water shortages every day. Sometimes there are dozens or even hundreds of people a day." Aya counted with her fingers:

"Over the past few decades..."

Her face turned pale in an instant, her eyes lost focus, and her body trembled slightly uncontrollably.

Hundreds of thousands! At least hundreds of thousands!

With this number of mermaids, let alone the Free Port, in Carl's original world, as long as the gods did not intervene, they could easily destroy a kingdom, and even the legendary knight could not change the outcome.

“Swish!”

Carl stood up and stared at the Freeport shrouded in fog with his bright eyes.

He originally thought that although the mermaids' attack on the Free Port was strange, they would eventually return to the Endless Sea.

The human race is the master of this land, and they just need to stay out of the spotlight for the time being.

But now, there is a high possibility that the free port will be lost forever.

There would be no water monkeys, and without water monkeys, there would be no way to refine the violent potion. Then the great god's grace...

no!

Let’s grab a few first!

…………

The headquarters of the Scythe Brotherhood.

A white snake tens of meters long fell to the ground with a bang, and a head as big as a house rolled off its body.

The brotherhood leader, Yaheng, who was holding a huge sickle, landed lightly on the ground, and his face also looked not very good.

The leader of the three major forces, he is the weakest.

Fortunately, the super-quality seal of black flame on him can directly burn the opponent's vitality, which allows him to gain a lot of advantages when facing legendary creatures.

In addition, the Brotherhood has many Grand Knights, so they can still hold on in the face of the swarming mermaids.

Taking a deep breath, Yaheng said in a muffled voice: "What's the situation with the city lord?"

"President." One of them sighed, "Several legendary creatures appeared near the City Lord's Mansion. Our people have no way of getting close."

“Even if you get in, you can’t get out.”

In short, no reinforcements were found and no news was sent back.

"President."

The second elder Baird rolled his eyes and took the initiative to speak: "Or I will go."

"You?" Yaheng frowned, then nodded:

"Alright, we must ask for reinforcements. If the city lord doesn't take action, we won't be able to hold out for long."

"yes."

Baird said sternly, "I will definitely call for reinforcements."

After saying this, he turned around and leaped out of the base.

The fog outside blocked the view, but it did not affect Baird, who knew the Freeport well.

His figure flashed, and he did not go to the City Lord's Mansion, but went straight to his own house.

There were screams and wails everywhere.

The area near the house is no exception.

"snort!"

"Go find the city lord?"

"If the city lord could repel the mermen, he would have already done it. I'm afraid the city lord's mansion has been breached by now."

"Freeport is over. I'd better leave early and find another way out. Staying here is just waiting to die."

He changed his mind and leaped into the backyard, killing a few blind mermaids along the way.

“Chichi…”

He took out a whistle from his body, put it in his mouth and blew it.

Not long.

The guards hiding in the yard appeared one after another, and little Jasmine, dressed in a red outfit, was protected in the middle by the others.

They were all terrified, but after seeing Baird, they seemed to have found a backbone and their eyes couldn't help but look uncertain.

"Father!"

"Um."

Baird nodded to his daughter:

"Hurry up and pack your things. We are leaving Freeport."

"ah!"

Xiao Moli's face turned pale: "Is the situation so bad?"

Leaving the free port means giving up the relationships and property accumulated over decades.

"The headquarters of the Sea God Association and the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce have been captured by those monsters, and the same is true for the Scythe Brotherhood." Baird waved his hand:

"Time is urgent. Don't ask so many questions. Go and take what you can. Let's go quickly."

"...Yes." Little Jasmine responded, turned around and ran towards the warehouse under the protection of the guards.

Watching the backs of the group of people, Baird touched his chin, leaped forward, and moved to a corner of the courtyard.

There is an inconspicuous room here, which looks like a storage room. Because it is located in the backyard, few people come here and it is surrounded by weeds.

"squeak……"

Pushing open the door, Baird looked around, and after confirming that there was no one there, he slipped into the room.

He knocked on the tiles on the wall in a certain pattern, and a thick piece of floorboards in the corner suddenly flipped up.

Several wooden boxes were revealed underneath.

Seeing this, Baird showed a hint of joy on his face. As long as these things were there, he could live a good life even if he left Freeport.

“Tsk tsk…”

At this moment, a light click of the tongue was heard from the direction of the door, and a burly figure blocked the door:

"No wonder I couldn't find it after searching for so long. It turns out you hid all the good stuff here?"

"You..." Baird turned around suddenly, his eyes narrowed: "Karl!"

"It's me." Carl nodded, and slowly drew out the broadsword from his waist with both hands: "Second Elder Baird, it seems like this is the first time we meet alone?"

“What a pity!”

“Buzz…”

Before he finished speaking, a flash of light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. It was Baird who quickly stabbed with his sword.

Being able to become the second elder of the Scythe Brotherhood, his strength is definitely not weak, and he is not far from becoming the pinnacle knight.

It breaks out suddenly and few people can escape it.

pity,

The person he met was Carl.

Zero-ring sorcery—secondary magic force field! Zero-ring sorcery—gravitational distortion! Magical item—control of gravity! A vortex of water appeared under his feet, pulling Baird's legs toward the ground.

The many witchcraft spells directly reduced his speed by 70%.

“Swish!”

Carl drew his sword.

The sword flashed and swept across the opponent's neck. When he stopped, the body behind him was separated.

Now, the great knight was almost vulnerable in front of him.

I found a package to collect the things on the ground, and just as I walked out of the backyard, I saw a group of people coming towards me.

"It's you!"

Jasmine, the woman in red, opened her eyes and waved her hand: "Kill him!"

"Oh……"

Carl exhaled lightly, and rushed out in a flash, slashing around with a broadsword, killing several people who rushed towards him on the spot.

Jasmine, the woman in red, turned around and tried to escape, but suddenly a bloody sword blade appeared at her chest.

She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but her body had turned into a stone sculpture under the effect of the broadsword.

"Bang!"

Carl shook his wrist and the stone sculpture exploded immediately.

…………

The fog was thick.

Dark shadows shuttled through it, and hundreds of thousands of mermaids were scattered in the free port. Even the three major forces could not stop them, and the others were lambs to be slaughtered.

suddenly.

The earth ahead was shaking, smoke and dust were rolling in, and strong winds were blowing up wooden boards and stones.

Carl raised one hand to block the dust and squinted his eyes to look forward.

What came into view was a giant toad about seventeen or eighteen meters tall. There were huge pustules on the toad's body. As the pustules trembled, streams of obviously poisonous liquid shot out from them.

When the venom fell to the ground, a huge crack was instantly corroded on the earth. If it fell on a person, the consequences can be imagined.

Its tongue was incredibly fast. When it opened its mouth, the ground dozens of meters away suddenly cracked.

The afterimage of the tongue was almost beyond the Great Knight's reaction.

Legendary creature!

However, the condition of this legendary creature was not good. There were many cracks on its body and one of its two legs was broken.

The one fighting with it was an armored man holding a trident, and streams of water gathered and exploded under the man's feet.

Driven by the water flow, the man quickly approached the toad and launched an attack.

Poseidon Hawke!

"As expected of him, he is the best fighter under Lord Sodan, and he can fight against a legendary creature alone."

Carl was amazed, but he also realized that the opponent's advantage was not obvious, and he was even slightly at a disadvantage.

Eyes slightly narrowed.

He tightened the broadsword in his hand, stepped forward and shouted:

"President Hawke, I'm here to help you!"

Secret Technique - Giantization! "Boom!"

A giant more than five meters tall appeared on the scene, rushing towards them waving two giant swords more than three meters long.

Please give me a monthly ticket!!! (End of this chapter)
