Chapter 265 The Secret of the Sea God's Gathering

It is no exaggeration to say that Occot was also a ruthless and powerful figure.

Apart from the high-ranking members of the Sea God Society, none of Ocott's subordinates, including his relatives and even his enemies, knew about the black-robed man who always followed him.

Actually, it's his clone!

A rare and precious marine creature—a split-cheek sea serpent—given by the so-called "Sea God," is awarded to Okot as a recognition of his outstanding contributions to the Sea God's Society over the years.

At the same time, he was also granted an extremely rare witchcraft—the Sea Serpent Splitting Technique—to be used in conjunction with it.

This is why Mero's father, Auditer, was poisoned by a strange poison that could not be cured and he could only slowly wait to die!

That's the special venom effect from the fangs of the Okot's Cheek-Cracking Sea Serpent.

The effect of this venom is to destroy a person's immune cells and continuously erode white blood cells.

This can cause a great knight or wizard who is immune to all diseases to slowly become extremely weak, and finally die without dignity from various common illnesses.

In addition, this venom is highly insidious because its effects are almost negligible at first. By the time the victim realizes something is wrong and begins treatment, the poisoning is often already severe.

At this point, treatment becomes extremely difficult.

This is also why, even after Auditorium mobilized the Norris family's connections and sought out many renowned therapists, it was still difficult to completely cure him.

As the black robe and hood of the man in black were torn to shreds, a terrifying creature resembling an upright four-legged serpent appeared before everyone's eyes.

Its most distinctive feature is that it has two narrow holes on its face, giving the impression that the snake's cheeks have split into four pieces.

The next second, its body overlapped behind Okot and slowly merged into him!

A powerful aura began to erupt from Okot.

"You wretched bastard! You ruined everything!" A hoarse, gloomy voice came from Ocott's throat.

Every sentence sounds like a human being, yet it doesn't feel like it came from a human mouth.

In fact, ever since he acquired the Cleft-cheeked Sea Serpent clone and the clone technique, Ocot has devoted almost all his time, energy, and a great deal of money to improving the clone technique.

Because he learned a piece of information from the higher-ups of the Sea God Society.

When he raises both his main body and the Rift-cheeked Sea Serpent clone to the high level of level one, he can obtain a precious opportunity for advancement by sacrificing and fusing with the Rift-cheeked Sea Serpent.

There is a certain probability that he could be promoted directly to the second-level Grand Wizard.

He had already planned that if he could take the position of patriarch of the Norris family, he would surely be able to advance to the level of a second-level archmage with the help of the Sea God's reward.

But unexpectedly, all their efforts were in vain!

Problems occurred one after another in the area where they were least likely to have issues!

When they saw the bizarre combined attack of Ocot and the man in black, Milo and her father's expressions changed drastically.

It was only then that Audit realized that if his younger brother hadn't been so eager to become the head of the Norris family, he probably would have been killed by him long ago!

Meiluo stared intently at Richard with her beautiful eyes, wondering if Richard could handle the monster in front of her—her own uncle!

After all, it was he who had dragged Richard into this matter.

Richard's long journey to Norris had already deeply moved her.

She didn't want Richard to be in danger because of her own affairs or her family's affairs!

Upon witnessing the transformation, Richard's previously composed expression subtly changed. He thought to himself, "Top-tier level, huh? This is going to be tough. Looks like I'll have to attack them all at once!"

"As expected, the average level of wizards on the continent of Byers seems to be slightly inferior to that on the continent of Vitlor. As soon as I arrived on the continent of Vitlor, I encountered two wizards who had reached the top level of the first tier after their power surged."

This actually shows that Richard overestimated the continent of Vitlor.

In terms of the average level of wizards, the two continents are actually about the same.

However, the area of ​​the continent of Viterol is several times that of the continent of Bayes, and its population is nearly ten times that of the continent of Bayes. Therefore, the large base population results in a greater number of highly skilled wizards.

At that moment, the attacks from the Bone Blade Storm and the Fiend Spirit also struck Okot's side almost simultaneously!

Okot reacted very quickly, twisting his body into a strange posture like a sea serpent and escaping from the side of the Bone Blade Storm.

After regaining his footing, he waved his hands, and the two streams of water transformed into two roaring sea serpents, rushing straight towards the direction of the ferocious spirit led by the Pirate King 'Giant Claw Demon'.

The only thing that can fight against spirits is witchcraft, not physical attacks.

Occott's response was very appropriate.

This demonstrates Occott's extensive practical experience.

Audit, the patriarch of the Norris family, watched this scene in shock.

He never expected that his younger brother's strength had reached such a level, making him arguably the strongest member of the Norris family in history.

It's such a pity that his younger brother went astray and joined the Sea God Cult.

Furthermore, it's hard to say whether his strange strength comes from the various evil and unorthodox methods of the Sea God Cult.

This kind of power doesn't come from one's own hard work and cultivation; it comes quickly and goes quickly.

Actually, what shocked Audit even more was Meiluo's junior.

That's right, that's how Meiluo introduced this incredibly powerful young man in front of her: Junior Richard!

Even with his many years of experience, Auditer couldn't understand how his junior could have such exaggerated strength!

Shouldn't a wizard with such power be a senior instructor or something similar from the Ignis school?

This is so confusing!

Actually, you can't blame Meiluo for fooling her father.

It was because Richard did not return to the school when Melo left the Ignis School.

Therefore, Meiluo was unaware that her junior, Richard, was already a teacher in the Ignis School.

Even though she now knows that Richard is a teacher, in Meiluo's heart, she probably still regards Richard as a junior.

"Sea Serpent's Fang!"

Suddenly, Occot roared!

All the water element energy ions around him were stirred up, forming a huge elemental vortex, which then condensed into a gigantic phantom of a giant sea serpent with two sharp fangs.

The entire phantom was four or five meters tall, resembling a giant sea serpent as thick as a bucket coiled up. In reality, it was composed of materialized water element energy ions, containing immense energy.

This move requires an extremely high level of mental strength to mobilize surrounding energy particles.

Only wizards whose spiritual energy atomization reaches around 90%, meaning whose strength is close to or has reached the top level of the first tier, can achieve this.

In other words, the witchcraft Richard is about to face can only be unleashed by a top-tier first-level wizard.

Even Richard, at present, is somewhat lacking in ability and cannot perform similar witchcraft.

Richard's pupils contracted; he knew this must be Occott's trump card!

In an instant, Richard's body was covered with a layer of spiked bone armor, and at the same time, a layer of black death aura swirled around him. The vengeful spirit Abomination even took a step to the side and blocked Richard's way.

If the previous approach was a three-pronged attack, then the current approach is a three-pronged defense.

"Hiss!"

The giant phantom of a sea serpent, with its tongue flicking out, was incredibly lifelike and emitted a sound similar to a snake flicking its tongue.

The next second, it rushed straight at Richard with lightning speed. Its two venomous fangs were the most terrifying part. If it were hit directly, it would be a poison attack mixed with water element energy attack, which would directly render the opponent unable to fight.

Because Occott also clearly understood that only by killing Richard could he escape his current siege.

Therefore, he firmly chose to have the serpent phantom bypass the vengeful spirits and attack Richard directly, rather than attacking the opponent's undead summons first.

With a flash, the phantom of the sea serpent bypassed the equally tall and mighty vengeful spirit, Abomination, that was blocking Richard's way.

Just as it was about to attack Richard, Richard and Stephanie suddenly vanished.

Do not!

To be precise, only two gray figures could be seen over there, but from the perspective of perception, these two people seemed to be completely outside this world.

This visual and perceptual dislocation made Okot feel nauseous!

This is Stephena's innate sorcery—Shadow Transformation!

Richard and Stephanie stepped directly from the real world into the edge of the shadow world.

"Splash!"

The sea serpent phantom's attack missed its target; its sharp fangs struck the ground directly, instantly causing the ground to explode and reveal two deep holes. The entire area was immediately filled with water vapor and emitted a stench of toxic attack!

The next second, Richard's planned counterattack began.

The moment he emerged from the shadow realm, he unleashed his innate sorcery, "Mental Shock!"

A transparent, invisible wave, radiating ripples, rushed straight towards Okot with lightning speed.

Meanwhile, the rattling sound of huge iron chains rang out as the vengeful spirit hurled all three chains from its back at Okot.

The Blood Bone Puppet also launched a perfectly timed charge at Okot!

Faced with Richard's combined attack!

Octo couldn't dodge in time; all he could do was roar, "Snake of the Slit Cheek!!"

Instantly, an identical figure shot out from his body, blocking all the attacks.

His true form, however, dodged away with a simple sidestep, like a cicada shedding its shell.

Although he dodged Richard's combined attack, the figure was also violently attacked and instantly scattered, leaving behind what seemed to be a layer of skin.

Something resembling the shed skin of a snake.

Meanwhile, Occott himself was also flushed, bent over, and panting heavily.

Clearly, the release of the Cheek-Splitting Serpent attack had put immense pressure on his body and caused him some damage.

He immediately became quite listless.

Richard believed that it would be difficult for Occot to use such strange witchcraft to evade again.

Beating a drowning dog is a good habit of Richard's.

He never considered giving the enemy time to recover.

At this moment, a black, fist-sized ball of dark elemental energy had condensed at the tip of his right index finger. The next second, a black beam of light shot directly from the energy ball to Okot's chest.

Occott, who was bent over and panting, tried his best to dodge, but still could not completely avoid Richard's death ray.

"Pfft!"

The death ray, originally aimed at the heart, struck Occott's lung instead.

Both are wounds that penetrate the chest, but it's much better to be injured in the lungs than in the heart.

With a scream, Okot dared not fight any longer and immediately turned to flee.

But after taking less than two steps, he was hit by a transparent wave, and his body suddenly froze.

Next, he was tightly bound by several iron chains and unable to move.

The battle was drawing to a close.

At this moment, Mero's father, Auditer, stepped forward, looked at Ocott who was like a dead dog, and said, "Tell me, Ocott, why are you so scheming to seize the position of patriarch of the Norris family?"

"Do you know that, given your wizarding talent, even without scheming, I will eventually hand over the position of clan leader to you one day?"

These words made Occott's pupils shrink.

He felt as if he had heard the funniest joke of his life.

"You're lying! You're incredible!!"

"How is this possible! How is this possible?!"

In the beginning, he embarked on this path and joined the Sea God Society because of the older brother in front of him.

He was competitive, but unfortunately, his older brother always outperformed him in everything, which made him very resentful.

So, by chance, Ocot joined the Sea God Society and gradually rose from an ordinary believer to a deacon, and now to a priest.

The next level is the High Priest! This will allow him to fully enter the upper echelons of the Sea God Society.

"Does it even matter whether it's true or false now? Ocot, tell me, why did you join the Sea God Society? Why are you plotting to seize the position of Patriarch Norris? Where have you placed the centuries-old glory of the Norris family?"

Audit stared intently at Ocott, his heart filled with regret.

He himself was deeply poisoned, while Occott had long since gone astray, and the glory of the Norris family had been dimmed.

This made him feel extremely guilty as the clan leader!

"Occott, if you don't want to talk about it, I can immediately send you 'Giant Claw Demon' to keep you company. Please believe in the ability of a necromancer to manipulate souls." Richard was also quite interested in Occott in front of him and gave him a timely helping hand.

In fact, Richard was very interested in the Sea God Society behind him.

Based on what Audit just said, it seems that this Poseidon might be a cult.

He had already experienced firsthand the power of cults during his time in the Darklands.

Therefore, Richard knew that once he was confronting such a cult organization head-on, he had to understand the relevant information as soon as possible and make preparations accordingly.

Moreover, he was going to sail to Baselles Island in the Summer Sea, and this cult called the Sea God Society was obviously related to the ocean, which could cause him a lot of trouble on his trip to Baselles Island.
