"The power of the evil god is very strong. These fishmen have been contaminated by the power of the evil god. Everyone, be careful. The enemy is about to attack."
Wayne also had a solemn expression, these mermen had all become so strange, obviously very abnormal, the power of the evil god was not so easy to bear, it was estimated that even if they did not die under the sword of the demon hunter, they would become sacrifices to the evil god because they could not bear this power.
I'm afraid that what they are about to face will definitely be a tough battle. Judging from the size of these monsters, their combat effectiveness has obviously increased by several levels.
If the two sides continued to clash recklessly as they did before, the six witchers in the front row alone would definitely not be able to protect the sorceress's safety.
Fortunately, Wayne had anticipated the disparity in numbers between the enemy and us. He shouted to Vesemir and the others, "Act according to the plan. Don't save money. Safety is the top priority."
As Wayne shouted, the evil god's clone standing at the back of the merman seemed to have received the signal and immediately let out a terrifying whisper like a murmur. An invisible force erupted in the temple with it as the center.
After hearing this voice, all the witchers and sorcerers, including Wayne, felt as if their brains were impacted by some kind of spiritual power.
It seemed as if there was a powerful pulling force that was trying to pull their souls out of their bodies. Accompanied by severe pain and blurred consciousness, everyone lost control of their bodies.
The merman priests who were waving their staffs all stopped their movements at the same time, and then exploded into balls of blood mist, carrying the last of the evil god's power, transforming into countless blood-red energies, and drilling into the bodies of the merman warriors in front.
Those half-merman seemed to be injected with even more powerful strength. Their bodies began to swell even larger, and even more violent power surged out of their bodies.
Suddenly, Triss at the back of the crowd let out a scream.
She was maintaining the operation of the underwater barrier at the time, and was suddenly disturbed by the evil god's spiritual power. Not only were her soul and consciousness impacted by the evil god, but her body was also out of control, and she could no longer control the chaotic magic power in her body.
The underwater barrier that she had worked so hard to maintain was undergoing tremendous turbulence, and the changes in the barrier caused the magic power within her to backfire, causing Triss's face to suddenly turn extremely pale, and she fell backwards with foam coming out of her mouth.
As Triss fell, the underwater barrier surrounding everyone immediately tightened, and millions of tons of lake water pressed towards everyone as if they had found an outlet.
At this moment, a divine energy suddenly burst out from between Wayne's eyebrows, which not only expelled the evil god's spiritual power from his brain and restored his consciousness, but also formed a short and beautiful melody around him, which penetrated into the ears of everyone around him.
Wayne could tell that the voice humming the melody was the Lady of the Lake.
But at this time, he had no time to think about other things. Facing the lake water pressing towards them from all directions, Wayne made a decision instantly.
He formed seals with his hands, instantly depicting the posture of Quinn's seal, mobilizing all the magic power in his body, and pushed hard above his head.
A huge Quen shield covering an area of about ten meters in diameter appeared above his head, protecting him, the other three sorceresses, and the demon hunter brothers.
Compared with the underwater barrier created by the sorceresses before, the area that Quinn's shield can protect is more than ten times smaller. This is not because the magic power gap between Wayne and the sorceresses is so great.
The main reason is that the Quinn Shield is just a trick-level spell. It doesn't even have basic chanting spells, and it can't even be called a spell. If Wayne hadn't learned a lot of spell knowledge during this period, he wouldn't even be able to cast spells with both hands to increase the strength of the Quinn Shield.
The underwater barrier was created based on special magical laws and improved to suit underwater conditions. There was no comparison between the two in terms of their use of chaos magic.
In order to maintain the Quinn shield, all the chaotic magic in Wayne's body began to be input into his hands regardless of consumption. The violent magic even caused several cracks in the skin of his hands.
Unfortunately, even so, facing the surging lake water, Wayne's strength was still quite small. He only felt that he was subjected to an unimaginable force for a moment. The Quinn shield he maintained made a sound like a real shattering. The entire semicircular shield seemed to be compressed several times, and the speed at which the chaos magic power was consumed was unimaginable.
It was as if all the deformed organs in his body began to burn. A strong smell of blood rushed into his throat and nasal cavity, making him spit out blood.
Fortunately, he has now become a Source Warlock. If it were his previous body, he would probably have been thrown backwards and swept into the lake the moment the lake water collided with Quen's shield.
This was the first time that Wayne felt injured since he traveled through time, and the injury was serious. He began to feel severe pain all over his body. The deformed organs in his body were overloaded and under the pressure of the lake water, he even felt his bones begin to creak, as if a huge force was grasping his body, trying to crush him into pulp.
But even though it was so painful, he still had to persevere for the safety of his companions. In this operation, everyone around him came here at his request, and he had the responsibility to protect everyone. He didn't want anyone to suffer permanent harm in this mission.
Fortunately, the blessing given by the goddess of the lake was very powerful. Under the beautiful melody, everyone broke free from the spiritual shock of the evil god.
Triss had lost her fighting ability due to the backlash of magic and fell into a coma. Keira had not yet recovered from the mental shock of the evil god. Among the sorceresses, only Yennefer was the first to wake up.
After seeing Wayne's miserable condition, she said nothing. She immediately gritted her teeth, endured the physical pain, and began to cast the spell again to build a new underwater barrier.
Several other demon hunters also woke up from their trances. At the same time, they saw Wayne maintaining the Quinn shield with a painful and ferocious look on his face. It was obvious that he was struggling to the extreme.
Unfortunately, they could only worry about it. Their shallow knowledge of magic meant that they had no way of helping Wayne or Yennefer and changing the current situation.
The pressure on Wayne suddenly eased, and greater pain followed all over his body. However, he ignored his injuries and shouted to everyone:
"Kayla, pay attention to the protective barrier."
"Others, follow the original plan. Prepare the northern wind bombs and conduct saturation bombing."
When Keira heard this, although her mind was still a little confused, she subconsciously began to chant the spell, preparing to build a solid protective shield in front of everyone.
The other demon hunters also calmed themselves down, reached into their waist bags and took out the pre-prepared North Wind Bombs, turned on the switches, and entered the stage of being ready to be triggered at any time.
Yes, perhaps other alchemical bombs cannot be used in underwater environments, but the North Wind Bomb, which relies on the power of ice to freeze the enemy, will not reduce its power if used in such an underwater environment. On the contrary, it will cause more damage because of its special function.
Just as Wayne was feeling the pain from his internal injuries, the mutated mermen on the opposite side had completed their final transformation and launched a fierce attack on everyone.
After being injected with a large amount of evil god's power, these half-fish men seemed to have completely lost their rationality. Weird tentacles grew all over their bodies, their eyes were red, and they all swarmed towards the crowd like flies that smelled blood.
This situation was exactly what everyone wanted. Just as these mutated mermen were rushing over, more than a dozen North Wind bombs were thrown out.
The witcher masters were very experienced. All these north wind bombs were evenly scattered around the mutant murlocs. After they threw the bombs, the sorceress Keira immediately completed the spell. After a loud shout, she erected a shield in front of everyone that was specifically used to resist the cold.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! In just a moment, the extremely cold temperature spread out from the north wind bombs and spread through the lake at an extremely fast speed.
In just less than a dozen seconds, the lake water in front of everyone was completely frozen, and most of the mutated mermen in the temple were wrapped in huge blocks of ice.
Their expressions, their movements, and even their bodies were all like statues, unable to move in the ice.
As cold-blooded creatures living underwater, being frozen in ice may not kill them, but the cold temperature will quickly take away the heat in their bodies, causing their bodies, blood and even brains to enter a state of slow dormancy.
However, not all mutated merman were frozen by this wave of north wind bombs. Some slower merman did not enter the freezing range and escaped. Driven by the power of the evil god, they had no idea what fear was or what brains were. They bypassed their frozen companions and wanted to continue attacking everyone from other directions.
Unfortunately, they obviously underestimated Wayne's money ability. When other mutated merfolk came around from other directions, Vesemir and others took out some unused North Wind bombs and threw them towards them.
As one of the more expensive alchemical bombs, the production cost of each North Wind Bomb is about thirty Orens. So, even though it took less than ten minutes, almost a thousand Orens were thrown out by the crowd.
Fortunately, you get what you pay for. The fighting style of the rich is simple and unpretentious. After thousands of Orens were thrown out, almost all the mutated mermen were frozen in ice.
Although they were not completely dead, at least in the short term, these guys could no longer pose a threat to Wayne and others.
Wayne used his steel sword to prop himself up. As soon as he stood up, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. He took out a bottle of healing potion from the druid elder from his waist bag, and then took out a bottle of intermediate healing potion extracted from the system. He poured two bottles into his mouth at once, then pointed at the huge evil god clone who was left alone and shouted, "There is no time to delay."
"Kill the evil god's clone first, otherwise no one knows what kind of trouble it will cause."
After saying that, Wayne sensed the remaining blessing power of the Lady of the Lake on his forehead, mobilized his spirit, and stimulated it again.
In an instant, a layer of sacred light enveloped everyone, making them immune to the mental interference of the evil god's clone for a short period of time.
George from the Griffin School was the bravest one. In order to kill the evil god, he risked his life and took the lead in drinking a bottle of underwater breathing potion. With a roar, he rushed out of the underwater barrier and swam towards the location of the evil god.
The other brothers of the Wolf School followed suit, including Vesemir, and a total of six demon hunters surrounded the evil god's clone from different directions.
Although fighting underwater is a considerable disadvantage for the demon hunters, six demon hunter masters can probably put up a fight against a monster, let alone an avatar of the evil god, even if it is the evil god himself.
Unfortunately, due to his serious injuries, Wayne could only stay obediently in the underwater barrier for this final battle, watching Keira, the only one with remaining strength, cooperate with his fellow demon hunters to deal with the last incarnation of the evil god.
The only thing he could do was to come to Triss, who was also in a coma due to the backlash of magic, and feed poor Moent some intermediate healing potion mouth-to-mouth.
Only this intermediate healing potion from the world of Azeroth does not contain chaos magic, and will not make it impossible for Triss, who is sensitive to magic, to be unable to absorb it.
