Byron and the half-elf controlling the worm queen had already crossed the first wave of black tide aftermath with the help of the wizards at the intersection where the black tide was weakening, continuing their advance toward the Abyssal Eye.

“How much longer until we reach the inner circle?” Byron asked.

The inner circle was the closest distance to the Abyssal Eye that third-rank wizards could reach.

“I’m afraid we’ll need to travel for another two days,” replied Krutz, one of the accompanying third-rank wizards.

Byron frowned anxiously. “The spread of this black tide is too fast. Originally, we should have reached the inner circle before the black tide invaded two continents. At this rate, I’m afraid quite a few anchor point monsters will escape.”

Upon hearing the name “anchor point monsters,” even the battle-hardened Krutz couldn’t help but swallow nervously.

Anchor point remnants were existences that only fourth-rank wizards dared to touch, yet this time they were going to encircle and suppress anchor point monsters. How could he not be nervous?

Despite his nervousness, he had to go. Having already been abandoned once by the former Stargate Council chairman, Krutz didn’t want to be given up by Gorsa again.

Before departing, Gorsa had already informed everyone that this mission would very likely result in total annihilation, but he had preserved everyone’s soul fragments. As long as the world wasn’t destroyed and either he or Saul remained alive, he would do everything possible to resurrect every wizard who died in the black tide war.

However, if anyone failed to seriously complete their assigned tasks, they would be completely banished from the Stargate Council.

Gorsa hadn’t explained the consequences of banishment, but everyone knew his temperament—Gorsa would absolutely never let any traitor have an easy time!

Krutz tried to comfort the anxious Byron. “No one expected the erupting black tide to spread so quickly. It’s definitely no longer simply relying on seawater for propagation, which is why we can’t keep up with its speed. But I believe the Sighing Wall and the Tribunal can hold out. For this battle, they’ve brought out all their stored resources.”

Byron actually already knew everything Krutz was saying.

But what made him anxious was that if too many anchor point monsters ran to the black tide war front lines, Saul might have to run back and forth, not only consuming magic power and energy but also potentially falling into a siege by anchor point monsters.

Beside them, in the middle of the giant floating vessel, the red worm queen, now the size of a small mountain, extended her long head with one tentacle reaching above Byron’s head.

“Don’t worry about Saul. We just need to do our own job well.”

Byron took a deep breath.

His appearance was constantly changing, indicating Byron’s current tension and anxiety.

But after a few seconds, he still transformed back into that ordinary-looking middle-aged man, finally suppressing his chaotic thoughts.

“You’re right. What I can do now is just complete our mission properly.”

Krutz, overhearing the conversation between Byron and the worm queen, felt bitter inside but dared not show it.

“Complete our mission? But can our mission really be completed?”

……

After receiving Floco’s report that anchor points had appeared at the Sighing Wall, Saul immediately teleported to the vicinity of the ultra-long-distance transmission array, then rushed directly to the Sighing Wall.

Maria appeared to still be calmly commanding other wizard towers in battle, but was actually so nervous she was almost trembling.

The anchor point monster had hidden within the black tide, only emerging when it entered the wizard tower’s range.

As soon as it appeared, it directly punched a hole through the Fifth Wizard Tower.

The apprentices hiding inside the wizard tower were instantly twisted into monstrous forms, while the third-rank wizards fighting corrupted monsters outside tried to flee but failed, lasting less than a minute before being transformed into the same twisted monsters under the anchor point monster’s attack.

Fortunately, Floco lured the creature away before the anchor point attacked another wizard tower, otherwise the Sighing Wall’s current losses wouldn’t be limited to just one wizard tower.

There were no longer any other fourth-rank wizards who could eternally sleep here to defend the Sighing Wall.

As Maria anxiously waited for news from Floco’s side, Saul’s figure suddenly appeared beside her.

Maria was startled. “You got here so quickly?”

“This was the slow route.” Saul looked into the distance. “How many anchor point monsters have appeared so far?”

“Only one. What, will there be many anchor point monsters appearing?”

“Probability-wise, no, but you know how probability works—it loves to cause trouble at critical moments.”

Saul lightly jumped up. “I see it.”

Then his figure disappeared again.

After about five minutes, Maria, waiting on the high wall, finally received news.

The anchor point monster had disappeared!

The wizard delivering the message wasn’t clear how the anchor point monster had vanished. It seemed that shortly after Saul appeared, he had controlled the monster, and not long after, the previously arrogant anchor point monster was gone.

The external pollution had also completely stopped.

Maria felt incredulous, yet also somewhat excited.

If Saul was here, then this time the Sighing Wall would definitely pass through the black tide smoothly.

But she also understood that once anchor point monsters appeared at the Red Sea, Saul would definitely have to rush there immediately.

Thinking this way, she’d rather have all the anchor point monsters appear on her side.

Just as Maria thought this, a lightning-shaped crack suddenly appeared in the sky less than five hundred meters from the Sighing Wall.

Electric light wandered up and down within the crack, then the fissure slowly widened like a newly awakened person’s eye.

But what emerged from the crack wasn’t an eye, but a hand.

Almost the instant that hand appeared, Maria and all the other wizards stationed on the Sighing Wall felt their minds grow dizzy.

Maria immediately realized what they had encountered and instantly wanted to strangle her past self.

A second anchor point monster!

More of the arm extended from the high-altitude fissure, with many bone spikes on the back of the hand. It was hard to imagine what this arm looked like when it originally had muscle and skin.

The first moment Maria recovered from her dizziness, she flew toward the vicinity of the fissure. The rıghtful source is N()velFire.net

Within a hundred meters of the anchor point monster, Maria’s body was instantly pierced by dozens of bone spikes.

Large amounts of blood scattered across the sea surface, and the seawater began to smoke as if corroded.

Maria quickly cast protective magic, wrapping herself tightly from head to toe.

Although defensive magic didn’t have much effect against the anchor point’s powerful pollution, it at least allowed Maria to move voluntarily.

“Lure the monster away first.” With this thought, she struggled to continue approaching the anchor point, attempting to use the method Wizard Murphy had once used to directly press the anchor point monster into the deep sea.

But just as she was about to continue approaching the anchor point, she suddenly felt something wrap around her shoulder.

Before she could realize what it was, her entire body suddenly spun backward through the air.

But strangely, as she tumbled through the air, her mind became increasingly clear, and her soul body gradually stabilized.

Finally, she easily cast flight magic and landed steadily on the Sighing Wall.

Looking up again, she saw that where she had been standing, there was now a black-robed man.

“Wizard Saul!” Maria tried to maintain a serious expression, but the corners of her mouth couldn’t help turning up.

Saul used one tentacle to directly pull the polluted Maria away, while using another tentacle to entangle with the anchor point before him.

“This is the first time I’ve seen an anchor point of this form.”

It was so enormous, and its shape was unlike any known species in the wizard world.

“Whose perception caused you to take this appearance?”

One tentacle could no longer suppress the opponent. Saul simply moved forward, grabbing one bone spike with each hand, trying to directly pull the creature out of the spatial fissure to complete an encirclement.

But the giant skeleton seemed to be stuck behind the spatial fissure, completely unable to move.

“Since you can’t come out, then go back.” Saul wasn’t greedy for this one anchor point. Focusing on solving the problem, he prepared to push the anchor point into the spatial fissure.

However, the giant skeletal arm suddenly reached back and grabbed Saul’s body, like a huge cage, encircling him.

Saul suddenly looked up but didn’t immediately struggle.

He suddenly sensed someone calling him through the prismatic channel.

Saul relied on his body’s instincts to continue wrestling with the skeletal arm’s force, while his consciousness had already entered the Prismatic World.

Gorsa’s anxious voice immediately came from the other end of the fate line.

[Saul, Iskaper… over a hundred storm eyes have appeared!]
