Witch, I'm really not an ancient god of the deep sea!

Chapter 440 This will be a shark slaughter

The Saint of Books, Aslina, asked in bewilderment:

Is there a problem with the medicine?

An explained.

In fact, the fourth-tier apothecary in the Tower of Books did not detect anything unusual.

However, the pharmacist only conducted tests because the ships that escorted the medicine had recently run into trouble.

The chief apothecary of the Tower of Books is a suspicious, cautious, and neurotic man.

Therefore, in addition to the pharmacist's examination, he also planned to have the Saint of Books examine him.

A large amount of material that had never appeared before was found in the crack tide.

There may be a very small number of unknown toxins, which only the most skilled pharmacists or saint-level experts can detect.

The Sage of Books asked:
"Do you have it on you? Let this sage examine you."

"Ah."

Fen tossed a vial of the Serpent of Life potion to the Book Saint.

The Sage of Books glanced at it:
"In the tides, ship accidents are not a rare occurrence..."

"Don't worry, it's alright. We've been cooperating with the Serpent of Life for fifty years."

After saying that, the Book Saint kicked Water Sprite Number Three away, then jumped up from the hammock, changed out of his loose pajamas into the archmage robe that symbolized his status.

"Let's go, An..."

"Ah."

An looked helplessly at the saint of books.

Did the Sage of Books really conduct a thorough test just now?

The more An came into contact with the Sage of Books, the more she realized that the Sage of Books was completely different from the top experts she had in mind.

As an immortal who had defeated the Lamp Apostle, the Saint of Books found it difficult to be interested in most things.

She was very capricious, indifferent to life, and extremely tired of work.

Moreover, he is playful and likes to sleep in the sun or read books all day long.

Staying indoors for six months or even a year is a perfectly normal thing.

Furthermore, according to the tower master, the longest record of the Saint of Books staying indoors was as long as twelve years.

It completely lacked the feeling of an immortal that Fen had in mind.

In Fen's mind, the immortals would constantly pursue exciting things to fill the emptiness of their long lives.

But even in the face of this tide, the Saint of Books remained weary... An shook his head.

Under normal circumstances, Aslina's fatigue is not a problem.

However, in the current situation, their fatigue may lead to tragedy.

Regardless of Aslina's attitude, as a saint, her every move is related to the Tower of Books and even the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the coastal city.

If you keep assigning tasks to me, and things continue like this, I'll become the de facto ruler of the Tower of Books... Ann shook her head.

"My Lord, I'm going to report on my work. I'll be there shortly."

Ann lifted both sides of her dress and said earnestly.

She took on responsibilities that were beyond her years.

She and Water Sprite No. 3 cleaned up the Spiral Library.

Then, just in case, she went to see the chief apothecary in the name of the 'Saint of Books' and asked him to add special neutralizing ingredients to all the wines and potions of the Serpent of Life to reduce their effects.

I hope the medicine won't have too many negative effects... I thought to myself with relief.

Immediately afterwards, in the name of the Saint of Books, she arranged for messengers of natural disasters to gather information about the missing ships in the Sea of ​​Rifts.

After repeated confirmation, all documents, including the note "Saint of Books," not only reflected the wisdom of the Saint of Books but also did not contain excessive arrogance.

"I hope I won't get scolded now..." An thought to herself as she finished doing everything.

After dealing with all of this, she dragged her tired body to the banquet hall to attend the last banquet before the war.

……

……

Inside the banquet hall, the banquet was already halfway through, and everyone had enjoyed a lavish feast.

An walked through the bustling crowd and slowly raised her head.

At the highest and most luxurious table of the banquet, the Saint of Books sat next to the Tower Master, legs crossed, enjoying the praise of the crowd.

"Sage of Books! Thank you for your hard work!!"

"Great Sage of Books, I love you dearly!"

"Sage of books, you truly deserve to be called a master of time management. You are able to handle the affairs of the ocean with such high efficiency."

The Sage of Books blushed slightly and said with a smile:

"For an immortal being, this is not a difficult task."

Soon, a beautifully dressed maid handed the sacred wine of life to the Saint of Books:
"Great Sage of Books, the bell is about to ring."

According to the banquet custom, before the battle, when the bell tolls, everyone will raise their glasses together and drink a medicinal wine with enhancing effects!
"It's been so long since I've had a drink!" The Sage of Books took the wine and opened the cap.

Instantly, a fragrant aroma of wine wafted out.

In that instant, the maid before the Saint of Books silently revealed a slight smile.

Meanwhile, in the distant, misty lands, a ruggedly haired man also spontaneously revealed the same smile.

A smile like a lion's!

Just one step away!

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Saint of Books raised his white crystal goblet high and declared passionately:
"Three hundred years have passed, and the stench of blood has once again wafted through the cracks in the library door."

A huge book appeared in the center of the banquet, slowly opening to reveal scenes of history.

"During the last Northern Rift War, the 50,000 scum of the Blackblood Empire burned seven living libraries in the Northern State of the White Tower Federation. They didn't burn the bookshelves, but instead built scholars into ice walls, letting their screams solidify into bookmarks of flesh and blood."

"And the ultimate price paid by those fifty thousand war criminals was to become a book of flesh and blood in the hands of us hunters."

"Even three hundred years from now, the ending of the story will not change."

My hunters, display your courage and strength on this vast sea!

"Tomorrow! We will show those arrogant fools the true power of the Tower of Books!!!"

Boom!

The Saint of Books raised his head and unleashed a fifth-order spiritual energy field.

Throughout the banquet hall, a spiritual energy field filled with words permeated everything.

Amidst the abundant spiritual energy, the emotions of everyone in the banquet hall rose, and they raised their glasses!
clang------

The melodious bell rang.

Midnight has arrived.

The saint of books raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.

Everyone in the banquet hall drank the medicinal wine in one gulp.

Outside the banquet hall, bells rang and fireworks lit up the sky.

In the sea breeze, many hunters, shopkeepers, mages, and builders raised their glasses, aiming at the distant A-rank rift sea.

They saw a bright future!

One hundred thousand people, brimming with passion, raised their glasses to enjoy their last drink before the battle.

Gulu gulu——

An looked up and was also shocked by the spiritual energy field of the Book Saint.

Although Aslina was utterly exhausted, her power was undoubtedly at the pinnacle of the Tower of Books!
An, who wasn't good at drinking, looked at the wine of life in his hand, took a small sip, and drank it down.

Instantly, a powerful medicinal force slowly spread, seeping into her bloodstream and even her entire body.

"Fine wine, the craftsmanship of 'Snake of Life' has improved again!"

The sage of books drank the wine, and a blush rose to his face.

She gently placed the wine glass on the plate that the maid was carrying.

"Hahahahaha!!"

In that instant, the maid in front of the Book Saint grinned and suddenly burst into wild laughter.

Then, she suddenly conjured a flesh-and-blood dagger and stabbed at the Saint of Books.

There is an assassin!
clang!
An iron book unfolds, blocking the path of the saint of books.

The Book of Weapons!

The fifth-tier Hammer Book profession, Bookmaker, allows for the mass production of magic book weapons.

Furthermore, all 'magical books' under his control will receive a 100% bonus.

As an immortal being, one can possess anything from the Book of Human Skin, the Book of Steel, the Book of Rifts, the Book of Fire, the Book of Storms, the Book of Necromancer…

It possesses over a thousand spellbooks, each of which is at least a forbidden-level weapon, not to mention dozens of rift-level spellbooks.

It is rare in itself to break through the limits of ordinary saints and contain an A-level rift—the Collector's Library.

The Saint of Books is also known as the Magic Library.

The pages turned softly.

Countless weapons emerged from the book, instantly piercing the maid before them—

Blood was spilled on the ground.

Boring... A cold glint flashed in Aslina's eyes.

The last person who attacked her and injured her was called the Deep Sea Hunter.

Over the past century, no one, whether fourth-order or fifth-order, has been able to harm her in the slightest!
"call……"

Everyone looked up, staring in horror at the scene before them.

The assassin before them was merely a third-tier transcendent being, yet he dared to assassinate the Sage of the Book.

However, to everyone's surprise, the maid's mangled face sprouted fleshy buds, blood-red hair, and twisted fangs, writhing wildly—

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!"

That handsome face, while laughing wildly, twisted into a blood-soaked lion's head—

He held his ferocious lion's head high, looking down at the crowd before him:
"Fellow members of the Tower of Books! The war has begun!!!"

Boom!

The maid's body exploded instantly, creating a blood-red, hundred-meter-long rift that stretched across the entire banquet hall.

The Black Blood Empire's weapon of war—the Crimson Rift!
clang clang clang!

Soon, the sound of boots clanging in unison came from the crack.

Surprise attack!

Ann immediately took out her new weapon, the forbidden four-leaf clover spellbook.

"Everyone, take your drugs! Get into battle mode!"

"Notify everyone! The surprise attack has begun! Declare maximum emergency!"

As the warning rang out, everyone in the banquet hall immediately drew their weapons.

"Hahahahaha!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!"

Amidst hearty laughter, the fifth-tier Blade Aspect spiritual energy field swept through the entire banquet hall like a blade of wind.

A massive figure, nearly three meters tall and dressed in a general's uniform, emerged from the blood-red crack, wearing steel boots.

Behind his blood-red cloak stood five thousand soldiers of the Black Blood Empire.

The Blood Lion spread its arms wide and laughed loudly:

Good evening, everyone!

"A saint of books, is that unexpected? Is it a pleasant surprise?"

The Sage of Books looked at the person before him and narrowed his eyes slightly.

She gently raised her index finger, signaling Ann to lead the people to activate the defenses of the Tower of Books.

On the Tower of Books stands a colossal defensive structure forged from cracks—the Tower of the Holy Books!
It can expand its domain, providing runic defense to all White Tower Hunters, as well as the bonus of Book of Power.

"As you command! Water Sprite No. 3, activate your mech and prepare for battle!"

Ann opened the magic book in her hand and immediately entered a battle stance.

"Wakuwaku (Yes, sir!)"

Water Sprite Number Three charged toward the armory of the Tower of Books.

"kill!"

"Everyone! Let's teach these barbarians a lesson!"

"Don't worry, this is our territory!"

In an instant, the entire banquet hall was engulfed in blood and roars!

Meanwhile, the two saints also began their first battle.

The Saint of Books held his head high, glancing casually at the Blood Lion.

Even among saints, there are differences.

The person before me is merely a saint of this era.

Throughout her long life, she had seen fifth-tier saints far stronger than the Blood Lion.

Whether it's the modern-day deep-sea hunters or the former head of the Blackblood Empire's navy, the Mad Dragon, they are all far stronger than the madman before them—

"A young brat."

The Saint of Books snorted, and with a flick of her finger, a thousand magic books slowly appeared behind her, unfolding continuously—

"The Spiral Library: Pages of Stars".

rustling --

Flipping through three hundred magic books—

The Book of Runes grants all friendly units within a 5,000-meter radius the power of the Book of Runes.

The Book of Healing provides powerful healing abilities.

The Book of Spiritual Energy Source has a range of 10,000 meters and grants a spiritual energy bonus.

The Book of Weapons allows you to continuously create and fire weapons.

The Book of Sacred Fire can continuously create Sacred Fireball magic.

The Book of Poseidon can continuously produce trident spears.

The Book of Shadow Magic can continuously create Shadow Magic Orbs that prevent healing.

……

In the blink of an eye, a thousand magical attacks coalesced behind Aslina, the Saint of Books, forming a cluster of seven-colored magic like a starry sky.

Within the spiritual energy field, the Book Saint's three-meter-long hair danced with the air currents—

Goodbye, little one.

"Aslina, the Saint of Books," she said calmly.

"Old man! You still haven't felt it by now!?"

Blood Lion picked up his Lion-Slaying Axe and unleashed a strike.

The attacks from both sides collided—

The entire banquet hall was instantly engulfed in a tsunami-like shockwave; the floor shattered, the walls cracked, and it broke into countless pieces.

An, standing anxiously at the entrance of the banquet hall, watched this spectacular scene unfold.

The outcome of the battle between the two Saint-level beings will determine the course of the entire war.

However, the next second, something unexpected happened!
This is... An felt a slight pain in her heart.

Suddenly, on the pale skin of the Book Saint, centipede-like, jet-black veins bulged open—

"How could this be!" For the first time, tension and panic appeared on the proud face of the Saint of Books.

Her heart was filled with the sound of a great whale breathing!

"!!!"

In that instant, her spiritual energy field weakened rapidly, and blood splattered—

"This is called a new force on the fringes! Old bastard!!"

"Blade Break. Roaring War Axe!!!"

Seizing the moment, the Blood Lion absorbed the power of the Black God's Weapon potion. Its muscles bulged, and jet-black spiritual energy erupted, coalescing behind it into a hundred-meter-long blood lion—

The sharp, blood-red axe cleaved through countless spells, striking the Book Saint in the abdomen—

Crashed!

The entire banquet hall, along with its hundred-meter-high tower, was instantly cleaved in two by terrifying force!

A crimson shockwave, hundreds of meters high, surged forth like a tsunami across the main avenue of the mobile city-state—

Many shops collapsed in an instant.

Amidst the astonished gazes of 100,000 people, the petite figure of the Book Saint, like a high-speed meteor, crashed heavily into the clock tower of the Book Tower—

Boom!

A huge crack appeared on the clock tower of the Tower of Books.

No… Aslina, the Saint of Books, lowered her head, looking at her nearly severed abdomen and the continuously flowing, dark blood—

And the blank, desperate gazes of all the White Tower hunters and countless people of the Tower of Books.

For the first time in a century, she appeared disheveled.

"How can it be……"

Anne's hand holding the magic book trembled uncontrollably.

Five black-blooded soldiers, each holding a blood-soaked axe, were staring at her!
In the stunned gaze of the Saint of Books, amidst the ruins, the Blood Lion stretched out his arm, raising his war axe high:
"Everyone, slaughter to your heart's content!"

The Black Blood Divine Weapon's potion allowed this saint to use multiple releases consecutively.

"The Beasts of War, the Bloodthirsty Lion Pack!"

Amidst the wails of the people, five thousand Blackblood soldiers, laughing like blood-stained lions, surged towards the entire mobile city-state like a crimson tide of wild beasts!
