Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 864 The Only Resistance

The wizard in charge of the temporary command did not tell everyone the reason why all the mermaids suddenly mutated and died, but no one was curious at the moment, and everyone was thinking about dealing with this giant monster first.

Immediately, the flying wizards around them launched an attack on the giant mermaid mutant, just as they had rehearsed.

Only Thor and Stuart frowned, and did not act rashly.

Thor even subconsciously took a few meters back.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

"Sizzle—"

Various magical effects bloomed on the mermaid mutant, producing the sound of arrows piercing flesh.

Strangely, the various magical effects that should have occurred did not materialize. It was just like a simple physical attack.

"Mermaid flesh and blood are extremely insensitive to pollution, and similarly, they react the same way to magic." Thor understood the principle in an instant.

Stuart nodded, "Mermaids used to have lives, but they don't anymore."

A completely alienated organism is like one that has begun an irreversible chemical reaction, and death cannot stop this process.

The alienation process usually does not require the organism's control.

Just like the Black Tide monsters that Thor fought against a few days ago. The monsters' behavior of rushing towards the land was just an instinctive reaction of their bodies being swept up by the Black Tide; all the cells in their bodies were left with the consciousness of fighting and destruction.

More and more flesh and blood emerged from the sea, as if a giant had stood between heaven and earth. But this giant had no eyes, only a bloated, almost human-shaped outline.

The wizards' battle continued, but since Thor and Stuart had not yet made a move, the other wizards' attacks seemed to have no effect other than adding hundreds of holes to the merman mutant.

Some wizards with stronger magical elemental attributes suffered wounds that were not even as large as those caused by attacks with more physical attributes.

However, regardless of the size of the wound, the merman mutant seemed to be unaffected, and its size continued to grow rapidly.

Some people left the battlefield and came to the area below Thor and Black Flame. "My lord, this mutated creature doesn't have high energy, but ordinary witchcraft can't destroy it."

The other party's meaning was clear: they were coming to provide external assistance.

Thor didn't speak. Royer wasn't there, and Frim was maintaining the defensive array along the entire southeast coast. So, the highest command naturally fell to Stuart, who was a "fourth-order wizard".

Stuart didn't rush to make a decision, and his face showed no change in expression that could be detected by others.

"The mutated flesh and blood of mermaids are almost immune to attacks that do not have enough magical energy. To break through its shell, one must break through the critical point in one go."

Thor noticed that Stuart seemed to glance at his palm.

"You all retreat to the shore," he said softly.

The wizard who came for help showed a hint of joy in his eyes. Although it was not unexpected, it was still exciting that the Black Flame Emperor was going to make a move so easily.

Thor followed the others out of the sea and back to the cliff where they had started, quietly watching the Red Sea where only one person remained.

Unlike the others who eagerly awaited the arrival of a fourth-tier wizard, Thor frowned slightly, thinking, "Stuart isn't a fourth-tier wizard, but since he proposed to act at this time, he must possess the ability to use fourth-tier wizard techniques. This must be a trump card the Black Flame Emperor left for Stuart before he disguised himself. But if he had a trump card bestowed by a fourth-tier wizard, how could Stuart have died?"

Thor felt as if he had missed something.

The mutated mermaid monster continues to rise, already approaching Stuart's height.

The seawater was constantly covered with muddy flesh and blood.

Although its body was riddled with holes, its exterior was constantly thickening, and organs resembling a skull were gradually appearing on the top of its flesh.

This mutated mermaid monster is still gradually taking shape!

No one knows what kind of abilities it will possess once it is fully formed.

The best approach is to interrupt it before it happens.

A vast and powerful magic suddenly rose from the sea, followed by a scorching gust of wind.

The magic circle that had been imprisoning the air seemed to have lost its original effect, and Thor's wizard robes were being blown about.

Under the scorching winds, Thor's skin gradually turned from its normal color to gray. This was his body's way of spontaneously resisting the radiation from the powerful magic at sea!

"It's definitely fourth-order sorcery." Although Thor's skin was stinging from the wind and his eyes were red, he still forced himself not to turn away. Instead, he squinted and seized this rare opportunity to observe the changes in the magic power of the fourth-order sorcery.

"Emperor Airo is supposed to primarily use fire, but fire element is suppressed by the abundant water element at sea. So, will he change form to a gale that can deal physical damage?"

Fourth-tier wizards are naturally less bound by the elements they focused on in their lower-tier stages; they can control different magical powers at any time according to the needs of the environment.

At that moment, several figures were rapidly approaching from a distance.

Those should be third-tier wizards in charge of other areas.

They must have heard about the mutated mermaid monster, so they rushed over after the black tide receded.

If we don't need their support, then we'll just come and watch the show.

Thus, the wizards who had just arrived witnessed Stuart slashing down with one hand, and the raging wind that had been expanding in all directions retreated as if time had reversed in an instant.

The oncoming gale suddenly changed direction, and many wizards who were unable to react in time fell to the ground.

Thor had no choice but to take a step forward to support his body.

He kept his eyes fixed on Stuart's hands.

It was as if a layer of eerie blue flame enveloped his hand, or perhaps there was nothing at all, only the heat distorting the air.

The gust of wind that was drawn back transformed into an unstoppable charging giant blade in the direction of the palm strike, slashing towards the monster made of flesh and mud on the sea surface.

In the blink of an eye, the wind blade pierced deep into the massive flesh, tearing it apart with a sound like cutting frozen meat, accompanied by a hissing sound like air leaking out.

Stuart cleaved the hundred-meter-tall monster from its head all the way down to the sea surface with a single palm strike.

Under the powerful magic of the fourth-tier wizard, the mutated mermaid seemed to have no ability to resist and was about to be cut in half.

However, the sound of air leaking out kept echoing in Thor's ears.

"Air leak? There's gas inside the mutated mermaid monster? Is it the reaction gas from its mutation?"

Thor muttered to himself, he had never seen a mutation reaction produce gas.

but……

Thor's eyes suddenly widened. He remembered something and shouted a warning to Stuart, who was preparing to expand his gains: "Watch out! There's something inside the mermaid..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

The mutated mermaid, which had been split open, suddenly exploded with a "bang" like a balloon being punctured by a needle!

The explosion carried with it the flesh and blood of the mutated mermaids, breaking them into tiny fragments that were sent into the sky and then fell in all directions like a storm of blood!

Even the wizards separated by the coastal defense array could feel the enormous impact.

The coastal defense array, which had been glowing, suddenly flickered and its light dimmed considerably!

Within those bursting flesh and mud lies a massive amount of Kuroshio pollution, devoured by the mermaids!

That was the pollution that had been swallowed up by the oppressed merfolk over the years, and it was the only resistance that the foolish, suffering, and weak modified merfolk could mount!

"Stuart..."

After the "blood and flesh rain" had stopped, Thor looked out to the sea, but there was no trace of Stuart.

I fell asleep last night when I had a few hundred words left to write... so let's consider this yesterday's work.
