Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 854 Coastline Defense Formation

There was no wind at the beach.

This is very unusual.

But when Thor glanced ahead, he saw that the pebbles on the shore had been arranged in a series of interlocking magical arrays using special powder.

Looking across the entire visible coastline, there could be hundreds of such magic circles.

A single magic array is not complicated; it is just an ordinary air barrier array. However, when hundreds of magic arrays are combined, they are enough to completely turn the originally breezy coastline into a windless sea.

"To impose a windbreak on the beach, that's quite a grand gesture."

News of Thor's arrival to assist in the defense had already reached the ears of the wizards in the defense zone. Not long after he arrived, he saw Royer fly over and land beside him.

"Haha, Thor, I didn't expect you to come. I've seen you staying indoors these past few days, and I thought you were planning to do experiments until the Black Tide recedes."

Thor knew that the Black Tide was coming, and after glancing around, he saw that all the wizards were on high alert. He figured that the "masquerade ball" warned about in the diary wouldn't happen at this time.

But he came anyway, just in case.

"I wasn't paying attention to the time while doing my experiment, but then I remembered that it seems to be around the time of the Kuroshio Current's arrival, according to recent reports. So, am I late?"

Royer seemed pleased, patting Thor on the shoulder. "Of course not, but the first wave of the Hell tide is coming. Anyway, I appreciate your help in coming. You'll be following me in a bit."

He was grateful for the gesture, but now that Thor had come to the coast, Royer couldn't let him act on his own.

Having Thor follow him is the best option, as it allows him to keep an eye on people and also ensures Thor truly contributes to resisting the Black Tide.

Thor understood, but there was no need to say it aloud.

"Okay, but what do we need to do? Do we need to prepare anything?"

"I'm in charge of several nearby defense zones. If a Tier 3 monster appears in any of them, or if the defense line is in danger, that's where I'll go."

"Hmm." Saul understood; it was the fire brigade. He then casually asked, "What about Alfonso? Is he in charge of a different area?"

"No, not at all. Now that all the third-tier wizards from the Tribunal have returned, we'll split the entire southeast coastline equally, and he'll still be in charge of watching over the mermaids."

Royer pointed to the sea ahead, "Look, he's right there."

Alfonso should be underwater at this moment. Thor can't see him, but he can vaguely sense familiar mental energy fluctuations. However, he's too far away to be entirely sure.

Since Royer said Alfonso was over there, then the spiritual energy that Thor felt must be his.

"Why is he still guarding the mermaids underwater at this time? Aren't the mermaids who might be infected with contaminated diseases usually isolated separately?"

Royer shrugged. "Most of them are, but even though the mermaids are just cleaning up the polluted trash, it's best to avoid any accidents at this time."

When he said this, Thor sensed that Royer's tone was somewhat cold.

Having already witnessed Royer's death, Thor vaguely understood why Royer was unhappy.

Now is not the time for him to make a move.

As the two talked, the coastline, which had been devoid of sea breeze, suddenly became even quieter.

Suddenly, an even deeper black shadow emerged from the pitch-black sky and sea in the distance.

The shadow started as a line, but gradually widened and grew larger, eventually becoming a black curtain connecting heaven and earth.

Thor couldn't help but hold his breath.

The black curtain was silent and still, without any thunder or lightning, yet it gave people a sense of despair and helplessness.

It was as if the world had vanished without a trace from that black line, and the places swept by that black line seemed to have been annihilated into dust.

Thor knew that everything that had just happened was just his imagination, a feeling of awe at witnessing a terrifying celestial phenomenon capable of destroying a continent for the first time.

The Black Tide is different from the eye of the storm in No Man's Land.

The black tide emerging from the eye of the storm in the No Man's Land is like the torrent of water gushing out when a dam breaks. Although it is also massive, it is not like the black tide sweeping across the ocean before us, like a tsunami that blots out the sky and inspires despair.

However, Thor was not one to be intimidated by celestial phenomena. After all, he had once faced the Deathbringer of the Iridescent World.

The death demon isn't exactly a terrifying celestial phenomenon; it's more like an astrological one.

As Thor quietly watched the Black Tide approach, Royer carefully observed him and noticed that although Thor was also shocked when he first faced the Black Tide, he did not show the same panic that many people experienced when they first saw it.

This also made Royer approve of Thor even more.

"Now is not the time for us to take action. We should wait until the first wave of the Hell Tide arrives and those monsters appear before we make our move."

Even so, Royer still flew high into the sky, with Thor close behind.

Thick clouds hung overhead, and the two of them were in mid-air, almost at the highest point.

However, the two were not the most powerful wizards in the vicinity.

Suddenly, a figure appeared high in the sky above the sea ahead of them. At the same time, a powerful mental pressure almost covered the entire Red Sea.

All the other wizards wore similar wizard robes, but he was still dressed in a black suit with a faint shimmer of starlight at the hem.

That was the emperor of the Black Flame Empire, the fourth-tier wizard, Airo!

No one present bowed to His Majesty Elo.

With the Kuroshio Current raging, this is not the time to be concerned with etiquette.

Even so, the nearby wizards couldn't help but glance at the Black Flame Emperor.

The fact that the other party was a fourth-tier wizard, and that he was standing there, gave everyone endless support.

Only Thor's eyes flickered slightly as he recalled seeing Stuart disguised as Emperor Aurora a few days ago, wondering in his heart whether the person in front of him was Emperor Aurora himself.

Although Emperor Airo just released a mental pressure powerful enough to suppress the entire coastline, he might have used some special and powerful magical artifact.

However, today is only the first day of dealing with the Black Tide, the ball has not yet started, and the people here may be the real Black Flame Emperor.

Thor looked around. "Isn't Lord Frim here?"

This coastline is the most prominent cape along the entire southeastern coast and is also the place that bears the greatest pressure from the Kuroshio Current.

If the Chief Justice isn't here, where else could he be?

Royer kept his eyes fixed ahead, but still answered Thor's question, "The Lord of the Court rarely appears in the defensive zone. He needs to control the defensive array along the entire coastline. He cannot leave the core area of ​​the array for an extended period, otherwise the defensive array will cease to function."

"If we encounter a problem that no one present can solve, even if we temporarily halt the magic array, the Court Master will intervene. There has been such a situation before." Royer smiled wryly, "However, many wizards died in other places because the magic array stopped."

At this moment, the first black wave was already close at hand, and everyone looked up at the black tide that seemed to be descending from the sky.

"boom!"

The massive waves crashed down with a terrifying, destructive force.

Suddenly, a white barrier covering the entire coastline appeared behind them, bursting forth with dazzling light.

Like the blazing sun rising behind us.

The once formidable black tide suddenly slowed down, and its terrifying pressure dissipated somewhat.

"Is this the defensive array that the Tribunal has set up along the entire coastline?" Thor was shocked. "No wonder they need a fourth-tier being stationed here all the time."
