Chapter 935: The Raging Flames of War (Part 1)

In this war, not only the underground races had come to participate, but even the murlocs from the sea also came to join in the commotion. This was something that even Sui Xiong had not expected.

The murlocs belonged to the category of offshore race. They were characterized by a chaotic and evil nature. The Goddess of the Ocean, Vorpocus, had absorbed a great amount of belief from the murlocs, thus causing her own nature to waver inconsistently. She went from neutral to evil, orderly to chaotic, then finally, she became an evil god who was somewhat crazy. From being a “mermaid princess,” she evolved into a “female tyrant of the ocean.”

After the fall of Vorpocus, the new Goddess of the Ocean, Ariel, refused to receive and accept the belief of the murlocs. To avoid being polluted by their belief, she even gave up on the development of the coastal region and placed all the focus on the operation of the distant sea.

For a newly-emerged god, this was certainly an extremely difficult choice. But this choice was unquestionably wise. It could minimize the risk of pollution by the murlocs’ belief to the greatest extent—it was better to eat less than to swallow a lethal feast.

But to the murlocs, losing their god not only meant that their souls would have nowhere to go after death, but it also meant that they had lost the protection of a god with top-rated martial skills. The murlocs were never a powerful race to start with. They might have an amazing reproductive ability, but among them, there were practically no decent masters to speak of at all. Generally speaking, for a murloc to grow up to the level of mid-rank, he could already be regarded as a “peerless master.”

Such a race, whether to the humans on land or to the demons in the sea, was simply not worthy of much attention.

So in the years following the change in the generation of the Goddess of the Ocean, the murloc race went through a very difficult time. They somehow felt like they were monkeys in the middle, not knowing which generation had been better for them. But the murloc race’s misfortune was in great contrast to the luck of the coastal inhabitants. For the past few decades, the murlocs were placed in a difficult situation, so naturally, they were unable to make use of their aggressive ability to invade the sea race. Therefore, the coastal inhabitants were able to live in peace for many years.

But such peace only lasted up till this very day.

The capital of the Mifata Federation, the “Highest Tower,” was not far from the sea. It was located in the huge warning array that was right in the middle of a magic tower. And the God of Spellcaster, Lamperus, had personally overlooked the construction process of this magic tower, which was already beginning to emit dazzling red light.

This red light, of course, was sending out an alarm.

The Sage of Life and Death, Mill, was the one in charge of monitoring this warning array. He was the teacher of the Sage of Dead Soul, “Tu Ya’an,” and the “King of Trees,” Tello Hailaer. He was also one of the most powerful Legendary Masters in the Mifata Federation.

At the sight of the glowing warning array, Sage Mill first froze momentarily. Then right at once, he operated the array, strengthening the detection in the direction where the warning alarm was sent from.

The moment he had a detection, his expression suddenly registered a great change. Without thinking twice, he sent a message to all the Legendary Masters of the Mifata Federation.

“Sea race invasion! I’m afraid the sea people are turning out in full strength!”

All the Legendary Masters who remained in the human world received this news. Other than the few who were in the midst of some very important matters and could not stop halfway, all the others hurriedly rushed to the Highest Tower and arrived right beside the warning array.

The array that was controlled by Sage Mill was blood red now. This was the highest degree of warning alarm.

“How many sea people have come?” a Legendary Master asked.

“It’s impossible to come up with a rough estimate,” replied Sage Mill. With a grave expression, he said, “It has far exceeded the upper limit of what this array can estimate.”

“Far exceeded the upper limit? How is that possible!”

“When this array was built back in the years, the possibility of an invasion by the sea race was also taken into consideration…”

“Those shrimps are crazy!”

These Legendary Masters went on complaining. More than one had even flown out of the tower and used his own means to personally observe the situation in the sea.

Just one glance was enough to suddenly evoke changes in their facial expressions.

The part of the sea near to the Highest Tower might seem unchanged on the surface, but right now, beneath the surface of the sea, countless murlocs had gathered.

The number of murlocs was too many, simply too many. There were so many of them that they stacked over each other, one by one, and formed a dense crowd that filled a vast expanse of the sea.

In the face of such a number, indeed, it was really “hard to estimate!”

“What are they trying to do?”

“What else is there to do? A sea race invasion.”

“Sea race invasion! Invade us?! Invade the Highest Tower?!”

“Yes, invade us. Invade the Highest Tower.”

“They are courting their own doom!”

“If we are unable to kill them, then we may be the ones who perish instead.”

A Legendary Master sneered and walked to the edge of the cliff. He then raised his magic wand towards the sky.

An obscured aura rose from within him and gathered on the wand. His wand, which was made of Mithril, glowed with countless electric sparks. These light rays quickly gathered on the ruby that was at the tip of the wand, causing the red ruby to glow brilliantly. It looked just like a small sun falling into the world.

He pointed his wand towards the sky, and the little sun-like light rays of the red ruby stone rose up slowly and flew up to the clouds high up in the sky.

A moment later, a bloodcurdling roar and crashing sound was heard coming from within the clouds.

The gloomy clouds that blanketed the sky were torn by the raging wind. A stream of crimson red light appeared in the sky and soon spread out to fill the entire sky.

Right in the middle of the red light, its color was getting deeper and deeper. The roaring and crashing sounds were also growing louder and louder. Finally, a large meteorite with red flames and hot winds came crashing down from the sky. It crashed towards the part of the sea with the greatest concentration of murlocs.

This was the Legendary spell, “Meteorite.” Although it was not a legendary spell that was particularly rare or especially high level, its lethality was extremely powerful. It was especially useful when it came to mass destruction of enemies with weak powers.

Theoretically, when a meteorite hit, it would collide, crush and suppress. Thus causing explosions, concussions and burns. This could annihilate at least a hundred thousand enemies.

Of course, in reality, the situation would not be so ideal for the enemies could not possibly gather that tightly together. But today, the murlocs so happened to be that densely gathered. So maybe, when this meteorite came crashing down, it was really possible for it to hit with the greatest lethality it was supposed to wield theoretically.

However, all the mages who were watching this scene expectantly were in for a great disappointment. Without waiting for the meteorite to hit the surface of the sea, a breath of madness rose from the sea. An endless chaotic mess of magic turbulence rose from beneath and gathered on the surface of the sea. Eventually, a messy, strangely-shaped and huge mouth was formed. It suddenly opened wide and directly swallowed this meteorite that fell from the sky.

The next moment, the mouth closed and abruptly disappeared.

And no one knew what happened to that meteorite.

“How… how is that possible?!” cried the Legendary Master who had summoned the meteorite. He exclaimed, “That’s impossible!”

The other Legendary Masters also felt the same, that this was simply impossible. But the truth was right before them, and they were left with no other choice but to believe it.

Those murlocs, that backward and weak race, actually used some strange means to overcome a powerful Legendary spell!

Just as they were looking at each other, they heard a message coming from the Highest Tower.

“Hurry come back into the tower! The murlocs are holding a massive sacrifice. I’m afraid they might be about to use some dangerous means!”

The Legendary Masters’ faces changed, and they left hurriedly. Just as the last mage had barely left the edge of the cliff, a green light shot out from the sea and hit the cliff.

The cliff body, which had undergone countless storms over the years and remained undamaged, collapsed as though it was a pile of mud after it was hit by this green light. But before it collapsed, everything on the cliff had rotted away. If the Legendary Masters had not left, it was highly possible that they would not be spared.

Actions spoke louder than words. The murloc race most certainly possessed an extremely powerful and dangerous means!
