Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 866 Where did Frim go?

The panicked wizards all looked towards the coast, and a cold sweat broke out on their backs.

Lord Frim believed the Black Tide had completely receded, so he removed the magic array. But who could have imagined that some Black Tide monsters would break free from the tide and swim across from the sea!

The next second, in addition to the black tide monster that looked like a ribbonfish, more monsters appeared, and at the same time, the Red Sea forest not far away began to collapse in large sections!

Black Tide monsters have broken through the original defensive array, tearing at the trunk and roots of the Red Sea Tree, destroying Neflet's last resort against the Black Tide.

No one cared about the missing Black Flame Emperor anymore.

Everyone's eyes widened in horror, and they all flew towards the Red Sea Tree.

Not only here, but information about the discovery of Black Tide monsters soon came from other areas as well.

Thor quickly joined the battle.

The light of various forms of witchcraft shone on the sea, but it did not slow down the rate at which the Red Sea Tree was destroyed.

Low-level wizards cannot perform magic underwater in polluted conditions, while the number of high-level wizards is limited.

Roye's whereabouts are still unknown.

None of the second-tier beings present dared to order Thor to go into the water.

Even for a third-tier wizard, facing so many Black Tide monsters in the sea would be extremely dangerous.

Without the cover of a defensive magic array, the Black Tide monsters saw the Red Sea Tree as a sumptuous feast and didn't even bother to fight the wizard.

As the Red Sea forest was being gnawed open by the sea monsters, leaving it with terrible wounds, some low-level wizards had no choice but to risk being contaminated and enter the sea to fight.

Soon, people were contaminated, their bodies covered in black blood, floating motionless on the sea.

It turned into new flesh and blood.

Seeing this, Thor finally understood why these Black Tide monsters left the receding tide and re-entered the Red Sea.

It was this blood and flesh sludge, rich in pollution, that caused the Red Sea to become more polluted, attracting the Kuroshio monsters that were originally trying to leave.

"How exactly did the mermaid mutants come about? Did the mermaid race plan from the beginning to turn themselves into pollution of the sea, attracting the Black Tide monsters to retaliate against the wizard?"

Beth: [If the merfolk could do this so easily, how come they've been oppressed by the Tribunal's wizards for so many years?]

Thor's mind raced. He suddenly remembered that the Little Mermaid Princess Pearl had once called for the ancestral mermaids to come ashore. Could she also make other mermaids detonate the black tide pollution within them, thus becoming completely corrupted and turning them into mermaid mutants?

But Pearl's spiritual body had already been destroyed, so how could she possibly do that herself?

Alfonso?

Impossible. Even if Alfonso wanted to let the mermaid go, he wouldn't let the pearl destroy the Red Sea Tree.

Then... it can only be Froco, who was summoned by Thor!

"That bastard! I sent him to pick up the mermaid, and what did he do? He not only came to pick her up, but he also dropped a nuclear bomb to distract the Tribunal wizards!"

Having finally figured out the cause and effect, Thor also realized that there was no other way to stop the returning Black Tide monsters; the only option was to use force to drive them out of the Red Sea Forest.

"The pollution concentration in the seawater is increasing, which may attract more Kuroshio monsters. The most important thing now is to restart the defensive array. Strange, hasn't Frim noticed what's happening here? Why hasn't it been restarted yet?"

Thor, unfamiliar with the defensive magic circle, could only grab a second-tier wizard nearby and ask, "How long will it take for the defensive magic circle to restart?"

The wizard, captured by Thor, replied blankly, "It will take at least two hours."

Two hours?

Thor looked at the Red Sea Tree being destroyed. "Send someone to check if the defensive array is restarting. In any case, we have no choice but to tough it out for the next two hours."

"Okay, okay!" The captured wizard immediately returned to the shore, where they could communicate.

When Thor saw that the other party had made contact, he prepared to plunge into the sea.

However, as soon as he turned his head, he saw a figure appear on the shore.

Thor was taken aback; it was none other than the Black Flame Emperor, Airo.

He was then overjoyed, for if the real fourth-tier wizard, Airo, returned, the defense battle on the shore would be much easier.

Furthermore, if Frim activates the defensive magic circle within two hours, the threat of this Black Tide monster will be reduced to a relatively small Black Tide attack.

The rest of the wizards cheered loudly.

Now that Wizard Aero has reappeared, he may have just teleported away from the battlefield. Although it is unclear why he appeared, everyone's hearts were at ease as soon as he appeared.

Elo didn't disappoint. He immediately unleashed a powerful move. There were no fancy light and shadow effects, but suddenly everything went blank before everyone's eyes.

The seawater near the Red Sea Tree vanished in an instant, while the Red Sea Tree, the nearby wizards, and the Black Tide monsters remained unharmed.

Such powerful and precise control is simply unimaginable.

At the same time, an invisible barrier prevents the backflow of seawater from outside.

The Red Sea Tree is barely standing, thanks to its dense root system.

The wizard and the Black Tide monsters fell to the bottom of the sea.

The wizard underwater reacted for a moment and immediately took off again, while the Kuroshio monster fish, which used buoyancy to move, could only land on the seabed and jump and tumble by relying on the strength of its muscles.

At this moment, not a single mermaid could be seen in the sea.

It was completely bare, just bone fragments.

Without the obstruction of the highly polluted seawater, the wizards of the Tribunal swarmed forward, killing or throwing away the strange fish that were still destroying the Red Sea Tree.

It was clear that the barrier blocking the seawater wouldn't hold for much longer.

Thor quickly directed the algae to pull the strange fish away, while simultaneously using his Soul Blade to dismember the enemy.

However, he had just dealt with a few strange fish when Emperor Airo flew up to him. "Send all wizards to the seabed. Until the defensive magic circle restarts, manpower alone is the only way to stop the Black Tide monsters from entering the Red Sea Tree's territory. People can die, but the Red Sea Tree must not fall!"

Thor was taken aback, not understanding why Airo would hand over command to him. He was clearly the person with the highest prestige and strength present.

However, what Airo said next made Thor's heart sink.

"I'll go back now and restart the defensive array. This place is in your hands."

Thor immediately realized, "You were the one who's been maintaining the defensive array?"

Airo was no longer as arrogant as usual; he frowned, clearly troubled by the current situation.

"And what about Lord Frim?"

"He...is away." Airo naturally couldn't tell Thor the inside story.

Thor's heart sank once again, plummeting to the bottom.

He was so angry he wanted to curse!

At such a crucial time, the presiding judge is nowhere to be found?!

Saul really wanted to ask, "Where the hell is he?"

Seeing that Thor had realized the seriousness of the situation and didn't want to stay any longer, Airo said, "I'm going back. You'll have to take care of things here for now."

"Fine!" Thor said through gritted teeth.

Flim is not here, and Royer and Alfonso, who have not returned for so long after the incident, may have died as the diary foreshadowed.

Right now, this area really can only rely on Thor, an outsider!

Just as Airo was about to teleport away, he paused. "If you find Stuart... please bring him back alive if possible. You will earn the gratitude of me and the Black Flame Empire."

Thor was initially confused, then his expression changed to one of sudden realization.

"So, the person who was on the surface of the sea the whole time was him?!"

The true Black Flame Emperor, his face ashen, nodded heavily.

"This Thor is really clever," Airo thought to himself.
