Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 855 Black Tide Monster

The Kuroshio Current, hundreds of meters high, rushed down head-on.

The wizards standing in front of the defensive array were all surrounded by various colored lights. Although there was a defensive array behind them, they each had to resist the powerful potential energy of the black tide and the polluting power it contained.

Thor was also among them, but along with Royer, he was positioned towards the back. From this vantage point, he could see the surrounding area clearly.

Seeing the wizard before him being swallowed by the black tide, Thor frowned slightly, but judging from everyone's reactions, they seemed to have gotten used to the impact.

Although Thor's reaction was a bit slower than the others, he completed the defensive magic circle he released first.

A protective shield crackling with electricity enveloped Thor's entire body, and then, in the next second, he was swallowed up by what seemed like an endless sea of ​​black water.

The protective array behind him weakened the power of the Black Tide considerably, but being inside it still made Thor feel real pressure.

Even for a third-tier wizard like him, the difficulties faced by other lower-tier wizards are even more pronounced.

Fortunately, after this giant wave passed, the pressure brought by the black tide was completely absorbed, and when it entered the Red Sea behind it, it would no longer cause damage to the Red Sea Tree.

As the black tide continued to surge toward the shore, it was all caught by the Red Sea trees that had been rooted there for many years.

The dense red leaves, like countless hungry mouths, absorbed the surging pollutants in the seawater one by one.

After being filtered through the Red Sea forests, the remaining waves hitting the shore are no longer enough to cause fundamental harm to the entire continent.

Seeing the massive waves being held back as expected, Royer felt even more at ease. He glanced at the area below the Red Sea Tree and explained to Thor, "This Black Tide is of medium size compared to previous years. If nothing unexpected happens, the defensive battle should be over in three to five days."

"Three to five days? We're alright, but will those low-level wizards down there be able to survive?"

Royer wasn't as cold-blooded towards his colleagues in the tribunal as he was towards the mermaid, but he didn't have a better way to deal with them either.

"There are advance warnings for each Kuroshio Current, and they do their best to prepare. If they still can't survive that, then even the Tribunal can't help them."

Casualties are inevitable, and Royer's job is to deal with the enemy when casualties exceed the defense capacity of a certain defensive zone, giving the lower-level wizards a chance to catch their breath and recover.

However, the Black Tide attack will last for several days, and Roye needs to carefully consider his strength before taking action. Otherwise, if someone can't hold on in the later stages and he is powerless to help, it will be dangerous.

After the first wave of black tide swept through, the second wave arrived not long after.

After everyone persevered through the second black tide, the monster's shadow finally appeared in the third wave.

Thor finally saw what the infamous Black Tide mutated monster looked like.

The monsters emerging from the black tide are mostly fish-shaped. However, each fish is enormous. Their bodies are mostly rotting, revealing bare white bones and blackened, hardened internal organs and flesh.

These monsters are devoid of consciousness; their eyes are filled only with a ferocious desire for destruction.

Clearly, these monsters are not particularly strong individually, but they lack intelligence and will not back down even when facing high-level wizards.

These strange fish range in length from five meters to over twenty meters, and there are quite a few of them. As they are carried forward by the tall waves, a chill runs down one's spine.

Before everyone could adjust to the cold air, a foul stench followed.

It resembled a corpse that had been rotting for days, accompanied by the stench of the sea, making it nauseating.

One of the wizard apprentices was young and seemed to be fighting for the first time. He accidentally inhaled a foul odor and immediately bent over to vomit.

As he vomited, the contents of his mouth turned into sticky blood clots, and then he vomited some strange, hard objects.

The wizard apprentice was standing on a platform made by a professional wizard next to him. While bending over and vomiting, he lost his balance and fell headfirst into the sea.

During this time, the official wizard and his other wizard apprentices were all busy resisting the poisonous gas and had no time to help him. They could only watch helplessly as he fell.

The apprentices who fell into the sea, without the protection of a formal wizard, were completely unable to withstand the pollution of the seawater.

His body began to swell as soon as it came into contact with the seawater, like bread being placed in an oven.

In just a few breaths, the person was no longer recognizable, and its size had increased to five or six times its original size.

This apprentice was the first casualty of this defensive battle.

"Hmph, I always tell them the precautions, but there are always idiots who can't remember. Oh well, a wizard apprentice, let him die if he wants." Royer was a little angry.

Thor stood quietly beside him, also noticing the wizard apprentice. The man's body hadn't been floating on the sea for long when it was pulled down by an unknown creature and disappeared completely.

Soon after the first person died, new casualties occurred.

However, at least these people were not killed by poison gas.

The defensive wizards at the forefront have already engaged in combat with the monsters in the Black Tide.

These monsters are fearless, slippery, and poisonous, so even some professional wizards struggle to fight them.

Moreover, these were apprentices who were originally there to do auxiliary work.

But this year's apprentices are luckier than in previous years. They now have two third-tier wizards backing them up, which should make this mission much easier to complete.

Thor didn't sit idle on the first day either.

After seeing Royer help the two wizards kill the monsters that were besieging them, Thor also joined in.

He would go up and use Soul Blade to sweep away the monsters if he saw a team under a lot of pressure.

Perhaps because the monsters that appeared on the first day were not very powerful, Thor was able to kill a whole group of them with a single move, greatly reducing the pressure on the lower-level wizards.

Seeing this, Royer gave Thor a thumbs up.

In fact, both Royer and Thor are very strong among third-tier wizards. It's really a waste to have two people in charge of one area.

But Royer is not comfortable letting Saul wander around outside alone, so this is the only arrangement he can make.

In the afternoon, it was low tide. The Kuroshio Current receded wave after wave, carrying the monster and its dead bodies back into the deep sea.

"We can rest for a while now." Royer showed no signs of fatigue; in fact, he was all smiles because few people had died in the area he was in charge of today. "There will be another high tide tonight, but it won't be as big as during the day. However, starting tomorrow, even more powerful deep-sea mutated monsters will appear. So take every opportunity to meditate and restore your mental and magical energy."

Although third-tier wizards can absorb external magic, this is a coastline invaded by the Black Tide pollution, and it would be dangerous to absorb external magic rashly.

Moreover, with so many third-tier wizards here, they could drain all the magic from this area together.

Then the others are in even greater danger.

Thor retreated to the cliff and sat down to meditate.

But then Royer was about to take off again. "I'm going to check on Alfonso in the sea."
