The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 273 Going Back to Find My Lover

"We will come together to deal with this crisis."

"We already have a good cooperative relationship between the Wizarding Union and the Sea Clan. As long as we work together, we will definitely find a way to solve the problem."

David spoke up.

Elder Scallop nodded, her eyes gentle but firm.

"I believe in your ability, and I believe in all those who are willing to fight for peace."

"I hope that this time we can truly repel those dark forces and restore peace to our homeland."

As dinner progressed, the conversation gradually turned to more lighthearted topics.

They shared their recent little anecdotes and happy moments, making the atmosphere even more cheerful.

After dinner, they sat by the window and watched the moonlight outside fall on the sea, which looked particularly peaceful and tranquil under the sparkling waves.

This tranquility is the result of their joint efforts and an important symbol of a better life in the future.

"Thank you for your company. This really makes me feel relaxed." David said with emotion. He turned around and looked at the gentle yet tough woman beside him.

"Me too." Elder Scallop responded with a smile, and she gently held David's hand.

Seeing this, David took advantage of the situation and pushed down the Scallop Elder, then pressed himself forward.

The atmosphere between David and Elder Scallop suddenly changed, and a subtle atmosphere filled the room.

"We should change our posture." Elder Scallop said with a red face.

She took a step back and readjusted her posture, "I remember you were also interested in that move, why don't we practice it together?"

David was stunned for a moment, but then realized that this was a good idea.

He nodded, "Okay, I was just thinking about relaxing as well."

The Scallop Elder sat down gracefully, running his fingers lightly across the ground.

“Relax and feel the connection between the land and the ocean with your whole body.” Scallop gently guided: “Take a deep breath and let the breath fill every corner of your body.”

As time went by, the two gradually got into the state.

During the practice process, they encouraged and cooperated with each other, and burst into laughter from time to time.

As they continue to deepen their practice, they begin to try more complex and challenging poses.

In this process, they not only enhanced their physical strength, but also cooperated with each other more tacitly.

When a difficult move was completed, both of them couldn't help but burst into joyful laughter.

In this small space filled with a warm and harmonious atmosphere, everyone seems to feel the invisible yet strong connection between each other.

Finally, they ended a tiring but enjoyable day of dual cultivation, sat cross-legged on the mat together, and smiled at each other.

"Shall we continue?"

"In order to cope with the next crisis, we must improve our strength as quickly as possible."

David said righteously.

Elder Scallop nodded after hearing this. She could also feel that she was not far from a breakthrough.

Next, David practiced with the Scallop Elder while collecting resources from the sea.

Every once in a while, he would return to the alien continent, hand over the collected resources to the witches, and continue to practice with them.

Time passed little by little.

Relying on a large amount of resources and the enhancement of his Sea God bloodline, Elder Scallop successfully broke through to the fifth ring strength.

This also allowed the two to receive more system feedback during their practice.

On this day, David was practicing with Elder Scallop when they suddenly heard an urgent alarm coming from the direction of the palace.

This is the Sea Emperor summoning the sea people.

"What happened?"

David and Elder Scallop looked at each other and had no choice but to end their training and go check the situation.

Soon, they arrived at the palace.

"We found that King Shark was gathering his men and preparing to launch some kind of ritual."

"This seems to be related to his attempt to open the door to hell. We must stop him!"

The Poseidon spoke.

This news was so sudden that the entire hall became solemn in an instant.

David immediately realized the importance of the matter. He was afraid that the Shark King had also learned the news that the Hell Wizard on the Alien Continent had been eliminated.

In this case, King Shark will be showing his hand, and this will be an invasion that Hell has been brewing for a long time.

He nodded and said in a deep voice: "We must take action immediately! If we let the Shark King complete this ritual, it will bring us immeasurable consequences!"

"That's right!" The Sea King nodded decisively, "Immediately send people to sneak into the enemy camp to collect more intelligence. At the same time, I will summon the sea creatures loyal to me to fight against the Shark King together."

Following the Sea King's decision, the atmosphere in the entire palace became tense and solemn.

The sea creatures quickly took action and prepared to head to the territory of the Shark King.

David and Elder Scallop also got involved and decided to go with the Sea Emperor to ensure that they were fully prepared for the upcoming battle.

The power of hell is too formidable. If ordinary sea creatures are corrupted, they will definitely become slaves of hell.

"We must find out King Shark's plan before we take action."

David said seriously, "If he is really performing some kind of ritual, we need to find his specific location and intentions as soon as possible."

"That's right." The Sea King nodded in agreement. "I will send some elite troops to the enemy camp. They will sneak into the Shark King's territory, gather intelligence, and look for opportunities to disrupt his ritual."

With the task assignment completed, Poseidon led hundreds of sea warriors loyal to him and marched towards the territory of Shark King.

Soon after, they finally arrived at a hidden sea area close to the Shark King's territory.

Here, they can covertly observe enemy movements while waiting for the infiltration team to return with intelligence.

Just then, a sea creature quietly surfaced. It was one of the groups sent out to collect intelligence.

"Report! We discovered that King Shark and his followers were performing a mysterious ritual!"

This news made the whole team nervous in an instant.

Opening the gate to hell is undoubtedly an important step for hell to summon dark forces and countless monsters into this world.

"We must take action immediately!" Elder Scallop said in a deep voice, "We can't wait any longer. We can't let them complete this ritual!"

"Yes, we must act immediately!" Poseidon clenched his fists, his eyes determined, "We can't let the Shark King's plan succeed!"

As the order was given, the sea warriors took quick action.

A small team of elite warriors set out quietly under the guidance of David and Elder Scallop, while the others waited in hiding for the opportunity.

So, as the night deepened, all members began to act according to the established plan.

Soon, they found a sea area with a skull flag fluttering, which represented the symbol of darkness and evil. There, they could clearly observe the mysterious ceremony going on ahead.

"Look, that's King Shark over there!"

The Scallop Elder whispered as he looked towards a huge figure who was casting a spell, surrounded by several loyal followers.

They were chanting incantations in a strange melody, and a dark red light was flickering on the altar.

"We have to hurry," the Whale King said hurriedly, "Time waits for no one, they have already started!"

At this moment, a warrior in the team mobilized the surrounding water flow and made the waves spread to the vicinity of the altar to distract the enemy.

Sure enough, at that moment, several followers stopped chanting due to accident.

"Action!" The Whale King roared, and he rushed forward with the Scallop Elder.

The two men transformed into a sharp and swift force, approaching the altar at lightning speed.

Before the enemy could react, they leaped forward and started fighting with those followers.

At this time, the team in the rear also began to attack.

They charged towards those who were distracted by the Scallop Elder and the Whale King, with splashes of water and interlaced light and shadows.

Just as the situation fell into chaos, a roar came from the altar.

King Shark finally noticed something was wrong. He turned around and stared at the two people rushing towards him with angry and terrified eyes.

"You stupid creatures who dared to disturb me! Don't you know that I am about to open the gate to hell?!"

"Stop your evil deeds, Shark King!" Elder Scallop responded fearlessly, "Today is your end!"

Before he could finish his words, the two men's attack came like thunder - powerful magic and power gathered into a huge wave and pounced on him!
However, at this moment, a darkness surged in, and the black mist that erupted from the altar began to spread, plunging the entire space into a strange state of uneasiness.

"Oh no, dark forces are intervening in our battle!"

Elder Scallop's expression changed slightly. She sensed an ominous aura coming from the depths of hell. "Quick, we must end this battle as soon as possible, otherwise it will attract more evil forces!"

"Hahaha, it's too late to realize now."

"I lured you here on purpose, otherwise, do you think you could discover my movements so easily?"

King Shark burst out laughing upon seeing this and stopped pretending.

At the same time, the altar under his feet also emitted powerful dark energy fluctuations, which continued to spread out.

"Retreat quickly! We can't let the dark power be fully released!"

The Whale King shouted, realizing the urgency of the situation, and quickly commanded the team to evacuate to a safe place.

However, the Shark King did not intend to let them go easily. He raised the scepter in his hand and pointed it at the Whale King and the Scallop Elder.

"You stupid creatures, go meet your god of death now!"

As he chanted the spell, the black energy instantly transformed into several twisting shadows of unknown shapes, which flew out from the altar and headed straight towards them.

"Come on! Let's resist this force together!"

Elder Scallop mobilized his own magic power without hesitation.

The sea creatures cast defensive spells at the same time to keep the dark energy out.

The surroundings were flashing with dazzling light and darkness alternating, giving people a strong sense of confrontation.

Seeing this, the Shark King was furious. He continued to cast more spells, hoping to completely open the gate to hell through this ritual.

"You can't stop me! I will unleash endless evil and turn the entire sea into my territory!"

"You are wrong!" Elder Scallop roared, quickly adjusting his state and injecting strength into the spell that was forming.

At this moment, a flash of light appeared from the altar. It was the unstable energy generated by the ongoing ritual.

Under this influence, everything in the area shrouded in darkness began to become unstable.

Those followers also began to waver because they were troubled by the control of magic. This is their chance to fight back!

"Don't give up, we must take the opportunity to fight back!"

Elder Scallop waved her hands vigorously. She used her magic to guide a powerful stream of water to enhance the team members' ability to fight against the dark forces. "Unite and attack together!"

As she finished her words, the team members worked together and released powerful water and light spells.

Under the surging sea and rough waves, the black shadows that were originally attacking them were gradually being submerged.

However, despite the concerted efforts of the sea creatures to cast spells, the dark power of the Shark King was still too powerful and suppressed their counterattacks.

The black energy surged like a tide, gradually forcing the sea warriors to retreat.

Even if Elder Scallop and Whale King, two powerful warriors whose strength had initially reached the fifth ring, attacked at the same time, they were unable to suppress the dark energy!

"We must find the Shark King's weakness. We can't just defend!"

The elder of the sea tribe shouted loudly and tried hard to concentrate his energy in order to find a breakthrough.

She noticed that the black mist on the altar seemed to be connected to the Shark King in some way.

"Yes! He is drawing power through the altar!"

Elder Scallop realized the key, "If we can destroy the altar, we can weaken his power!"

"Then let's destroy it together!"

The Whale King was full of determination. He tried his best to cooperate with the warriors in the team to fight back and disperse the waves of dark shadows.

"The power of the ocean currents converges upon me!"

Elder Scallop shouted again, and she turned her entire body into a stream of water, rushing towards the altar at lightning speed.

As long as she could get close to the altar, she could cast powerful water magic to destroy it.

However, just as she was about to get close, a black energy came towards her and knocked her back heavily.

The powerful impact made Elder Scallop feel dizzy. She fell to the ground and everything in front of her was blurry.

"No! I can't just give up like this."

Elder Scallop thought to herself, she gritted her teeth and stood up again.

But at this moment, the Shark King took action, emitting terrifying dark energy from his body, as if it could devour everything.

But at this moment, a bright light appeared and attacked the swirling black fog.

The water and light blended into a brilliant beam of light, cutting through the dark night sky like the first rays of dawn!

This force rushed directly towards the shadows approaching them, and those shadows were instantly swallowed up by the sweeping light.

David has been secretly using the blood of the sea god to control the power of the sea. Now seeing the Scallop Elder injured, he decisively chose to take action.

"Wrath of Poseidon!"

He channeled the power of the sea god and continuously absorbed the ocean power of the sea and the surrounding sea creatures.

The huge torrent released at that moment poured forward like a violent storm - directly towards the large altar that was permeated with a sense of tearing, despair, and darkness!
