The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 417: Water Lotus's Battle

"The raging waves of the sea!" Shui Lian murmured. Although the voice was light, it was like the call of the sea god, making the entire sea surface boil.

In an instant, huge waves surged, as if the whole world was shaken by this force.

The wizards and warriors of the Endless Sea who were trapped in the "Water Cage" felt an unprecedented crisis at this moment.

The huge waves roared like wild beasts and pounced towards them. Every impact made the barrier of the "water cage" tremble slightly, as if it could break at any time.

Seeing this, Salos's face became even gloomier.

He didn't expect Shui Lian's magic to be so powerful that even his dark magic couldn't break through it easily.

But as a six-ring great wizard, he naturally would not give up easily.

"Dark Storm!" Salos chanted the spell again and waved his hands violently. A dark whirlwind instantly formed around him and swept towards the water lotus with destructive force.

Shui Lian felt the power of the dark storm and her expression became solemn.

This is not just a simple magic duel, but also a contest between two forces and two beliefs.

"Water Curtain Tianhua!" Shui Lian reacted quickly, and quickly formed seals with her hands in front of her chest. A clear water curtain instantly formed in front of her, like a huge shield, blocking the dark storm outside.

The dark storm collided with the water curtain, bursting out with dazzling light and deafening roar.

The entire island seemed to tremble at this moment, and the huge waves on the sea became even more turbulent due to the impact of this force.

Salos and Shui Lian stared at each other, their eyes filled with determination and coldness.

"Your magic is indeed powerful, but it is not enough to defeat me!" Salos roared, and once again activated the dark magic, trying to break through Shui Lian's defense.

However, Shui Lian showed no intention of backing down.

She took a deep breath and concentrated the magical power in her body to the extreme.

"Roar of the Sea!"

Shui Lian let out a low shout, and the entire sea surface seemed to respond to her call. An unprecedented huge wave surged in from afar, carrying the power to destroy the world.

Salos's face changed drastically. He didn't expect Shui Lian to have such a powerful trump card.

But it was too late to dodge now, he could only try his best to use dark magic to try to resist this huge wave.

However, the power of the Roaring Sea was far beyond his imagination.

The huge wave hit the dark magic like a landslide, tearing it into pieces in an instant.

Then, the huge wave continued forward and hit the "water cage" hard.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the entire "water cage" was smashed to pieces by the huge wave.

The wizards and warriors of the Endless Sea were blown away by this force and fell into the surging sea.

Salos was also knocked back by the shock wave of the huge wave, and his face turned extremely pale.

He didn't expect that he would be at a disadvantage in this duel.

However, Shui Lian did not pursue the victory.

She looked at the Endless Sea wizards and warriors falling into the water, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

She knew that the battle had already caused too many casualties and destruction, and continuing would only cause more people to be hurt.

"Saros, stop it." Shui Lian said softly, "The Chaos Realm and the Endless Sea could have coexisted peacefully. Why should so many innocent lives pay the price for fighting for resources?"

When Salos heard this, a trace of anger and unwillingness flashed in his eyes, and an unyielding fire burned in his eyes.

"Peaceful coexistence? You are too naive, Shui Lian. In this world where the strong prey on the weak, only the strong can survive! Today, even if I, Salos, am torn to pieces, I will let you know that the will of the Chaos Realm cannot be disobeyed!"

He waved his hand violently, and the air around him seemed to solidify. The dark elements quickly gathered to form a huge dark hand, which grabbed Shui Lian with a suffocating feeling of oppression.

Shui Lian's face was solemn. She quickly formed seals with her hands. The sea surface began to boil again. Countless water splashes gathered into a huge water dragon, roaring and rushing towards the dark hand.

The water dragon and the hand of darkness collided violently in mid-air. The two were at a stalemate, and burst out with dazzling light and powerful energy fluctuations.

At this moment, Salos suddenly flashed and disappeared. When he appeared again, he was already behind Shui Lian. A pitch-black magic dagger condensed in his hand, flashing with cold light, and pierced Shui Lian's back.

Shui Lian had noticed it long ago, and she dodged the attack by turning her body lightly. At the same time, she swung her hand back, and a water blade cut through the air and attacked Salos.

Salos dodged to the side, and the water blade flew past the corner of his clothes, narrowly avoiding the attack.

The two fought back and forth, and the battle became more and more intense. Shui Lian used her ability to control water to continuously summon sea waves, water dragons and other means of attack, while Salos relied on his deep dark magic to release various strange magic attacks in an attempt to find Shui Lian's flaws.

During the battle, the entire island seemed to have become their battlefield, with huge waves on the sea and dark clouds and thunder and lightning in the sky.

Each attack was accompanied by a deafening roar that made the entire space tremble.

Suddenly, a fierce look flashed in Salos' eyes. He roared, and the dark elements in his body began to boil, condensing into a huge dark vortex that enveloped him.

Low roars came from the vortex, as if countless demons were roaring.

"Dark Realm!"

Salos shouted loudly, and the dark vortex suddenly erupted and swept towards the water lotus.

Wherever it passed, the space seemed to be distorted and all light was swallowed up.

Shui Lian's expression changed, she felt the horror of this power.

But she did not back off, she took a deep breath, and a soft blue light emanated from her whole body, contrasting sharply with the darkness around her.

"Shelter of the Sea!"

Shui Lian hummed softly, and the surrounding sea water seemed to have heard the call, quickly gathering into a thick blue shield, wrapping her tightly.

The dark domain collided with the blue shield, and the two were in a stalemate, bursting out with dazzling light and strong energy fluctuations.

At this moment, a trace of determination flashed in Shui Lian's eyes. She mobilized all the magical power in her body and prepared to make the final blow.

"Judgement of the Sea!" Shui Lian shouted, and the blue shield suddenly exploded, activating the power of the water element world's will in the body, colliding with the dark realm.

The two effects canceled each other out, but Shui Lian used this force to rush towards Salos like an arrow.

When Salos saw this, his face changed drastically. He didn't expect Shui Lian to have such a powerful trump card.

He tried his best to activate the dark magic, trying to resist Shui Lian's attack. However, it was too late. Shui Lian's hands condensed into bright light, like two sharp swords, slashing at Salos fiercely.

Salos only had time to let out a scream before he was hit by this powerful force. He flew backwards like a kite with a broken string and fell heavily on the sea.

Salos fell heavily on the sea, causing a large splash, and then slowly sank into the water.

His figure was looming in the waves, and he looked extremely embarrassed.

The surrounding sea water seemed to be infected by his despair and became even more turbulent.

He struggled to float to the surface, but every effort seemed so weak.

The light of dark magic flickered around him, but it could no longer provide him with enough support. He realized that he had completely failed in this battle.

"No... this is impossible..." Salos muttered to himself, his voice full of despair and unwillingness.

He couldn't accept the fact that he, a six-ring great wizard from the Chaos Realm, was defeated by a witch from the Endless Sea.

He recalled his past glory, the opponents he had easily defeated, and the forces that had submitted to him.

But now, all of this has come to nothing.

He has lost his power, his status, and perhaps even his life.

“Why…why is this happening…” Salos continued to mutter to himself, his eyes becoming empty and confused.

He couldn't understand why Shui Lian possessed such powerful strength, why she could stick to the belief in peace instead of pursuing absolute rule and power like himself.

In the abyss of despair, Salos' eyes suddenly became extremely firm, a kind of desperate madness and determination.

He knew very well that he would have no chance of winning if he used conventional means, but as a six-ring great wizard, he still had one last trump card - the power of taboo, a power that he had never easily revealed and had never fully controlled.

"You forced me to this point!" Salos' voice sounded particularly low and sinister amid the roar of the waves. "Then I'll let you see the true horror of the Chaos Realm!"

He raised his hands high with his fingers spread out, as if to embrace the entire darkness.

The air around him began to vibrate violently, and the dark elements gathered towards him madly like summoned beasts.

The dark clouds in the sky grew thicker, and thunder and lightning were raging, as if even the heaven and earth were trembling at the awakening of this forbidden power.

"Six-ring dark monster, awaken!" Salos roared, and the dark magic energy in his body reached its peak.

Suddenly, a huge crack appeared on the sea surface, and a suffocating evil breath surged out from the crack, and then a huge figure slowly rose.

It was a monster made of pure darkness, with six twisted tentacles, each of which was wrapped in lightning. Its eyes were like burning black holes, emitting a terrifying light.

This is the six-ring dark monster, a terrifying existence summoned by Salos using forbidden power.

"Feel the despair, Shui Lian!" Salos grinned and commanded the six-ring dark monster to attack Shui Lian.

The monster's tentacles cut through the air like lightning, sweeping towards the water lotus with the power to tear everything apart.

Shui Lian's face was solemn. She had never seen such a terrifying existence.

But she did not back down, for she knew that at this moment, not only for the peace of the Endless Sea, but also for the peace of the entire world, she had to stand up and face this forbidden power.

"Guardian of the Sea!" Shui Lian shouted, and her whole body emanated a dazzling light, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding darkness.

The sea water seemed to have heard her call and quickly formed an indestructible barrier around her, blocking the attacks of the six-ring dark monster one by one.

However, the power of the six-ring dark monster was far beyond Shui Lian's imagination, and every attack made the sea protection barrier shaky.

Shui Lian could feel that her magical power was being consumed rapidly, while the six-ring dark monster seemed to have no limits and was becoming stronger and stronger.

"I can't lose!" Shui Lian gritted her teeth. She mobilized the last bit of strength in her body and prepared for a final counterattack. "The End of the Sea!"

She formed seals with her hands, the light on her body reached its peak, and then she swung forward suddenly.

A dazzling column of water rose from the sea and rushed straight towards the six-ring dark monster.

The water column contains all of Shui Lian's strength and faith, and she vows to completely destroy this forbidden power.

The six-ring dark monster collided with the water column in mid-air, bursting out with dazzling light and deafening roar.

The entire island seemed to tremble under the impact of this force, and the huge waves on the sea reached unprecedented heights.

In this showdown of forbidden powers, Shui Lian and Salos both tried their best.

Finally, with a roar, water splashed everywhere.

Shui Lian only felt an unprecedented force coming back from the water column. Her body swayed and she almost couldn't stand.

The power of the six-ring dark monster was too strong. Even if she attacked with all her strength, it only made it tremble slightly and did not cause any substantial damage.

Seeing this, Salos showed a smug smile on his face. He chanted the spell loudly, and the dark elements surged wildly around him, as if providing endless energy for the six-ring dark monster.

"Your struggle is in vain!" Salos grinned.

The six-ring dark monster roared again, and its tentacles were like black lightning, attacking Shui Lian with destructive force.

Shui Lian could only try her best to maintain the protective barrier of the sea, but cracks had already appeared on the barrier and it could break at any time.

"I can't give up!" Shui Lian said silently in her heart. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to mobilize the last magical power in her body.

However, she found that her strength was almost exhausted and she could no longer hold on.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a warm force coming from the bottom of the sea, as if the sea itself was responding to her call.

Shui Lian's heart moved, and she quickly guided this power into her own magic.

With the addition of warm power, Shui Lian felt that her strength was restored, and the protective barrier of the sea became indestructible again.

She opened her eyes suddenly, with a determined light flashing in them.

"The raging waves of the sea are coming again!" Shui Lian murmured and quickly formed seals with her hands.

The entire sea surface seemed to respond to her call. Huge waves rose up again, rushing towards the six-ring dark monster with devastating power.

The six-ring dark monster obviously did not expect that Shui Lian still had the energy left to launch such a powerful attack. Its tentacles responded hastily, but were defeated one by one by the huge waves.

Salos's expression also became solemn. He realized that the power of the water lotus was recovering rapidly, while his own forbidden power was being consumed.
