It wasn’t until there were seven days left before the calculated black tide arrival that Maria finally had someone deliver news of Robin’s whereabouts.

Although this clue wasn’t a happy one.

A second-rank wizard had died under Robin’s tail’s attack.

After receiving the information, Saul first went to find Keli. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novelꜰire.net

“Keli, how many Inertization spell scrolls have you prepared?”

Keli, sporting two dark circles under her eyes, squinted at Saul, “Five.”

“Give me one. I might need it today.”

“It’s on the first shelf over there. Get it yourself.” Keli buried her head and continued working.

Last time when Saul went out and captured Benjamin, although Murphy hadn’t said anything at the time, he had afterward sent a large pile of resources to Saul and Keli. It was obviously payment for Saul’s services.

So Saul no longer needed to deliberately hunt black tide monsters to collect gray bones, and he put more energy into research.

These past days, he and Keli had discussed and confirmed that gray bones indeed had a strong connection to the bone monsters of the Chaos Realm.

When the black tide pollution in gray bones reached an upper limit and they were then subjected to inertization, the highly polluted gray bones would turn into white bones.

This also confirmed in reverse that the white bones in the Chaos Realm were basically corpses of creatures that had completely mutated in black tide pollution.

So the Chaos Realm really might be that continent swallowed by the Abyssal Eye—Desedil Continent, which had already disappeared from this world.

At the same time, Saul also thought that his ability to suppress gray bones and make them behave might come from the anchor point in his left hand. It was the only white bone among his entire black skeletal frame, and it couldn’t be exposed outside his skin.

As for how white bones or gray bones became anchor points, Saul hadn’t figured that out yet.

Perhaps Camus in the outer layer world of the Chaos Realm knew, but she would never tell Saul any useful information. Every time they met, she just spread the despair that the world’s end was inevitable, causing Saul to not want to see her at all now.

A waste of time.

Taking the Inertization scroll that Keli had worked hard to create, Saul went out to meet with Maria.

The location Maria had notified Saul about was in a Storm Sea area far from wizard towers.

Obviously, Robin’s tail had left the hunting range of the Sighing Wall wizard towers to avoid Maria’s tracking.

If this tail hadn’t been driven by unbearable hunger to eat half of another second-rank wizard, Maria would probably have had to wait until after the black tide to conduct a large-scale hunt.

The two quickly met in Storm Sea, where Maria was already waiting with Delen.

“How is it?” Saul approached and asked.

“The wizard who discovered Robin tracked him to here before losing his trail. I think Robin likely dove into the deep sea. I’m worried now whether he might transfer locations in the deep sea.”

Saul thought for a moment, “Currently it seems Robin’s need to eat people has overcome his fear of you. To continue ambushing wizards, he won’t go too far from here. Since we’ve confirmed he was in nearby waters, maybe I can find him.”

Saul opened his palm, revealing a compass.

The compass had a white pointer in the center, with a rather rough exterior that looked hand-polished.

This pointer was actually a white bone fragment that Saul had brought out from the Chaos Realm.

To create the Bone Dragon, Saul’s group had consumed nearly all the bone monsters, only keeping Saul’s mount, the Bone Flying Lizard, and a small amount of white bone fragments for backup research.

Now Saul was using one piece to create a compass for tracking Robin.

With the black tide approaching, the weather in Storm Sea was actually getting better and better. Sunlight shone on the sea surface, creating sparkling waves.

The three of them also stood on the water surface, rising and falling with the ocean waves.

All three looked down at the compass in Saul’s palm, where the white pointer was like a lazy cat, casually moving its arms.

Delen beside them didn’t dare raise his hand. He felt that Wizard Saul’s compass seemed useless, but he didn’t dare show it, lest the other party feel uncomfortable.

But Saul actually felt that not finding anything immediately was normal. Otherwise, if Robin could be found so easily, how could Maria’s previous search operations have been completely fruitless?

“I think Robin might be hiding on the seabed.” After waiting a while without any movement, Maria said, “Let me take the compass underwater. When there’s movement, I’ll signal to notify you.”

Who knew that Saul had no intention of handing the compass to Maria. He raised his hand, avoiding Maria’s reaching hand, “I can go to deeper places.”

After speaking, Saul’s face suddenly changed dramatically. The first thing to disappear was his skin, then his muscles, finally revealing black bones. His eyes showed two gray, misty lights.

Maria and Delen were both seeing Saul in this form for the first time and were slightly shocked.

Although many wizards would perform wizard body transformations on themselves to varying degrees, few would transform so thoroughly.

Saul withdrew the magical array beneath his feet and immediately fell into the sea.

Putting away his robes, he made an agile turn in the water and swam toward the deeper parts of the ocean.

This place was already far from the Sighing Wall, and the black tide was still days away from arriving. As soon as Saul entered ten meters underwater, he felt the strong pollution he had experienced when diving extremely deep before.

He took out the Mermaid’s Tear to protect his left hand and the compass, then continued diving deeper. Content originally comes from noⅴelfire.net

The ocean’s pressure became increasingly obvious. Saul almost heard his bones making “crack” sounds, but the next second, he felt that might just be an illusion.

After all, his hands and feet remained intact.

In the seabed where light couldn’t penetrate, Saul could no longer see clearly what was in front of him. He carefully released his mental power while splitting off another strand of mental power to monitor his own condition.

Two perspectives appeared in his consciousness space, like having a split personality.

Finally, Saul sensed the white bone compass suddenly freeze pointing due north after several swimming motions.

Saul quickly adjusted his body and swam toward the direction the compass indicated. The sea now acted like a friend, with one hand helping Saul push aside the resistance ahead while another hand gently propelled him forward.

At this moment, Saul’s swimming speed was actually not much slower than flying in the sky.

However, after swimming for just two minutes, the compass pointer suddenly began trembling lightly and slowly moved toward another direction.

“Did it discover me, or did it happen to start moving?”

But at this distance, the other party shouldn’t think of escaping Saul’s tracking.

Saul accelerated again. The black skeleton became a dark shadow, heading straight for the target.

“Caught you!”

Soon, Saul’s mental power directly captured the other party. His body suddenly softened from black bones into gray tentacles. Learning from seabed predators, he suddenly sprang forward, his body accelerating again. His tentacles coiled backward, directly entangling a slender black shadow ahead and cutting off its movement.

The long tail struggled violently but couldn’t break free from Saul’s restraint.

More tentacles wrapped around it, directly coiling around the tail tip that came over to resist.

However, Saul noticed something strange.

“Hm? How is this not like the one I saw in the wizard tower’s history? It seems a bit thinner?”

Just then, Saul suddenly discovered that the compass in his left hand trembled again, then suddenly changed direction once more, abruptly pointing toward where Maria and Delen had been!

Saul suddenly understood, “There are two tails!”
