The entire ocean surrounding the three continents.

This news was like tearing off the world’s last scab, completely exposing the bloody truth before Saul’s eyes.

“Yes, the sea has already been polluted, and the pollution process is accelerating. Perhaps we ultimately cannot escape the fate of being submerged by the black tide.”

Inside the Sighing Wall, Wizard Murphy sighed desolately. After hearing the accounts from Maria and Saul, his expression was sorrowful, all his wrinkles drooping down, making him appear exceptionally aged.

After capturing Robin and Lawrence, who they had thought was dead, Saul and Maria returned to the Sighing Wall. To avoid causing panic among other wizards, Maria deliberately went to bring out Wizard Murphy, and the three came directly to a sparsely populated area where Murphy deployed a concealment domain to block others’ sight.

After examining Robin and Lawrence’s conditions, Wizard Murphy didn’t react much, but upon hearing Maria repeat Robin’s words, he seemed greatly affected.

Maria quickly comforted him, “Lord Murphy, people with such thoughts are still a minority. Everyone else is firmly defending the Sighing Wall.”

Murphy raised his head, looking at Maria, who was no longer young but whose appearance remained unaged, “Yes, the Sighing Wall has been able to persist until now thanks to all of you.”

Maria shook her head repeatedly, “If you weren’t supporting the Sighing Wall, how could we fight the black tide monsters?”

Murphy smiled, his mood seeming to improve considerably, “The Sighing Wall will always stand in the north.”

“Yes.” Maria nodded firmly. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveIꜰire.net

Saul didn’t interrupt—after all, he wasn’t from here. But while observing, he felt something strange. How could Wizard Murphy, who had persisted in the far north for over a hundred years, appear so fragile?

Seeing that Saul hadn’t spoken, Murphy asked him, “Wizard Saul, what do you think of Robin’s choice?”

Saul thought for a moment, “If something cannot be accomplished, then Robin’s choice isn’t a bad option for survival. But unless all paths are blocked, I wouldn’t take this route.”

Seeing that Saul didn’t particularly firmly oppose Robin, Murphy was both surprised and felt that Saul was indeed worthy of being Gorsa’s student.

“Oh, by the way, Lord Murphy, I’ll take Robin with me. I’m quite interested in the tailbone transformation on him.”

Murphy agreed but also warned Saul, “Some transformations shouldn’t be attempted lightly.”

Saul’s brow relaxed, “Don’t worry, I’m very skilled at wizard body transformation.”

Seven days later, the black tide pollution arrived precisely as predicted at the far north.

On the day the black tide came, Saul flew in the clouds, quietly watching the distance.

Like the black tide at Nephret, a wave connecting heaven and earth appeared from the horizon, then approached seemingly slowly but actually extremely fast.

The humidity in the air was rapidly rising. Even more terrifying was the appearance of large amounts of black tide pollution in the thick moisture. They were like agar pressing in from all directions, making one feel an invisible suffocation. Content originally comes from NovєlFіre.net

Magical power rapidly disintegrated. The flight spell was instantly defeated, and Saul began free-falling. But he wasn’t anxious—instead, he calmly cast the flight spell again.

Magical power disintegrated again, but this time, Saul timely supplemented more magical power to maintain the flight spell’s operation.

“In this environment, third-rank wizards can barely fly. Second-rank wizards probably really can only rely on wizard towers for combat. No wonder this topography formed.”

The black tide was already approaching. Saul could even see the waves at the topmost layer and the white monsters mixed in the black seawater.

“So big!” Saul exclaimed. “The black tide monsters here are indeed different from those at the Red Sea.”

Maria had already told Saul that the black tide monsters at the Red Sea mainly won through numbers, but at the Sighing Wall—perhaps because it was closer to the Abyssal Eye—what was attracted were mostly huge and extremely powerful black tide monsters.

Behind Saul, several third-rank wizards were already distributed among nearby wizard towers. They would join Saul in resisting the black tide’s first assault.

“Saul, come down when you’ve seen enough—don’t waste magical power!” Only Keli dared to shout at Saul like this from below.

Saul immediately flew down. His observation in the sky certainly wasn’t to show off, but to analyze the first wave of black tide’s intensity and the monsters about to appear within it.

It was just that those black tide monsters had been hiding in the waves, only occasionally showing a bit of limb.

“The black tide here is half higher than at the Red Sea, and the pollution concentration is also higher. You stay inside the wizard tower and coordinate attacks with me.”

Keli wouldn’t be stubborn at a time like this. She nodded and quickly ran through the door at the tower top, which immediately sealed and merged with the surrounding walls.

But shortly after Keli entered the wizard tower, a small window appeared at the tower top with a long cylinder extending out, like a sealed gun turret.

That was Haili cooperating with Keli to change the wizard tower’s external form. However, the cannon wouldn’t be loaded with shells—it would only release magical scrolls or other magical tools with higher stability.

Keli would release different attacks depending on the situation.

The tower top where Saul stood should have originally manifested a protective shield to appropriately isolate black tide pollution. But Saul didn’t have Haili release it.

After all, that bit of energy would be better used by Keli to fire “shells.”

In any case, Saul still had resistance to this level of black tide pollution.

With everything prepared, Saul saw a blurred figure suddenly appear on the distant first wizard tower.

“Why did my master come out?” Saul was somewhat puzzled. To later retreat into the Abyssal Eye with the black tide, Gorsa originally wasn’t planning to act in this battle.

However, he appeared at the very beginning of the battle.

The black tide was already approaching Gorsa’s First Wizard Tower. Saul could even hear the sound of huge waves breaking through seawater resistance.

At this time, Gorsa in the distance suddenly raised his hand and waved.

Just like a professor tapping the blackboard in a classroom, then telling his students, “Look here, this problem should be solved like this.”

Then Gorsa’s figure suddenly burst into a ball of light, directly charging into the overwhelming waves that had reached right before him.

Saul vaguely heard a “boom,” and a huge white rotting creature was directly pushed out of the black tide by Gorsa.

Gorsa’s figure then also emerged from the waves, moving extremely fast, almost like teleportation. His entire being went from bright to dark, transforming into an unclear black shadow, with an extremely bright light point appearing behind the shadow.

That shadow instantly expanded a hundredfold, immediately surpassing the rotting monster he had just knocked out. The top and bottom of the shadow immediately curled up like a huge mouth, swallowing the monster.

Then the bright light behind the shadow instantly dimmed, and the originally huge shadow shrank accordingly, almost returning to normal human size.

A sound like squeezing cream echoed between heaven and earth.

The rotting monster hadn’t been able to break through the obstruction after the shadow shrank, but was directly compressed to its limit.

No need to think—going from over a hundred meters tall directly to two meters in size, the body had been compressed and deformed.

Then the light suddenly extinguished, the shadow writhed for a moment, and turned back into Gorsa.

He stood in place. Due to the distance being too far, his expression couldn’t be seen clearly.

Saul, who had watched from beginning to end, knowingly raised his hand and also waved twice.

He was telling his master, “I understand.”
