Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 960 Froco's Misfortune

"This place is some distance from both Iskeper and the continent of State, and it is not on the sailing routes of ships or airships from either continent."

"And this place is also relatively less polluted."

"So, can we just settle down here?"

Dozens of mermaids chattered amongst themselves, each face filled with hope for the future.

Coral smiled as she looked at the people before her, feeling deeply gratified. Five years ago, who could have imagined that their merfolk could live so freely?

"Coral, Aquamarine, come here for a moment."

At that moment, Froco's voice, which had been gone for several days, rang in the ears of the two leader mermaids.

Coral and Aquamarine exchanged a glance, their eyes shining with joy.

"Lord Floco, you're back?" Coral's tail had mostly healed, but the injury had depleted her talent, and she was now no different from an ordinary mermaid.

However, she is now essentially the strategist of the mermaids, and even Hailan obeys her unconditionally when Froco is not around.

"Lord Floco, are there still wizards chasing us outside?" Hailan asked. If so, he would definitely be willing to fight alongside Floco.

"The Tribunal doesn't have the resources to hunt you down right now," Floco said. "However, you must also restrain your people and prevent them from venturing out. The Black Tide has just passed, and it's a time when they need to reproduce and thrive. There are only a few dozen merfolk left, which is far too few."

Coral and Aqua blushed slightly, but they understood that this was not the time to be shy when it came to the survival of their race.

"I will also go to various places to find lone mermaids. Only if I can increase their numbers to more than three hundred can we guarantee their survival."

Both Aquamarine and Coral solemnly agreed.

"You guys go back first. I'll call you if I need anything."

Hailan was actually quite reluctant to part with Floco; he was far too powerful, many times stronger than Mr. Blackfish had been. Mr. Blackfish had already sacrificed himself for the freedom of the merfolk, but thankfully, Lord Floco appeared at the last moment and saved them from the evil wizard.

However, Lord Froco was very aloof, appearing even less frequently than Mr. Blackfish. This meant that Hailan, who greatly admired strength, never had a chance to spend much time with him.

This time, Hailan finally couldn't resist inviting Floco to come into the sea and see their new home that they had decorated, but before she could even open her mouth, she saw Lord Floco looking at her coldly.

He felt a jolt in his heart, and then was pulled to the bottom of the sea by the coral.

Hailan didn't know that Froco's glare at him wasn't because he was impatient.

But...

"Floco, I thought you died at the hands of the Cat Lord, but I never expected you to escape back to the wizarding world."

Floco had just sensed a powerful and concealed spiritual force approaching, so he swallowed what he was about to say and ordered Hailan and Coral to leave.

In any case, two weak mermaids shouldn't attract the other party's attention.

He just didn't expect that he would recognize the person who came.

"Douglas? You're back too?" Froco asked in surprise. "Didn't you say there was nothing left for you here?"

"Heh, it may have existed before, but now it does, doesn't it?" Douglas floated high in the air, looking down at Floco standing on the sea. "You didn't know?"

"What do you know?" Froco asked coldly.

"It seems you've been too busy raising fish to pay attention to this world. Don't you know yet that the source of pollution in the abyss is actually the corpse of a sixth-tier wizard?"

Floco's blue eyes widened. "A sixth-tier...corpse?"

"Yes, you wouldn't believe it, would you? Even beings capable of destroying a world can perish one day. So, as long as one hasn't reached the seventh rank, the essence of life is the same. It's just a cycle of life and death."

Floch remained silent. He was a fifth-tier cultivator who had seen the world and knew how terrifying a sixth-tier corpse could be.

But if Douglas wasn't lying to him, and the source of pollution in the abyss really was a sixth-tier corpse, then his previous interpretation of the Black Tide was probably all wrong.

Some things are probably completely different from what the wizarding world knows!

"You?" At the same time, Froco suddenly understood why Douglas had returned. "You're not planning to use that sixth-tier corpse to advance to the sixth tier yourself, are you?"

Douglas was once a well-known fifth-tier wizard in the wizarding world. He committed countless killings in his quest to advance to the sixth tier.

Even though multiple powerful wizarding organizations were simultaneously hunting him down, they were still unable to do anything about it.

But even with such a powerful fifth rank, they still haven't found a suitable way to advance to the sixth rank.

Now, facing a sixth-tier corpse, it would be strange if Douglas wasn't tempted.

"Have you thought this through? The underlying logic of destruction cannot be achieved through mere devouring."

Douglas's lips curled up slightly. "That's none of your concern. You should do something more important."

Floco's alarm bells rang, and he immediately half-submerged himself in the sea. "What do you mean?"

"For example, offering a tiny bit of help for the great cause of advancing to the sixth rank? For example, your life?"

After Douglas finished speaking, he raised his hand and suddenly swirled it in the air. His hand disappeared, and the surrounding air was churned up like paint in an oil painting.

Froco turned and fled into the sea as soon as Douglas finished saying the first "for example".

The water sprite's originally blue body quickly became transparent and merged into the sea. But despite having escaped a kilometer in advance, he was still swept into a whirlpool.

The sea around him seemed to have become a canvas covered with thick oil paint, and he and the sea were stirred up by an unseen hand.

Froco opened his mouth wide in pain, but couldn't utter a single word.

That hand had already turned his waist and tail into a mess. Floco immediately mobilized the surrounding seawater to replenish his blue body. At the same time, he endured the pain and transformed himself into an almost invisible stream of water.

Floco hasn't recovered his fifth-tier strength yet, and he's no match for Douglas at the peak of the fifth tier. His only chance of escape is in the deep sea.

However, he still underestimated Douglas.

That was a powerful fifth-tier wizard who had traveled through the starry sky for a hundred years, not an unlucky guy like him who was sealed and imprisoned at the bottom of the sea by Lord Cat as soon as he went out.

As soon as Floco's body transformed into transparent water, he felt as if the world around him had become a brightly colored, overly vibrant oil painting. He then merged into the painting, gradually changing his original shape and color with the movement of the brush, and gradually losing himself.

"save……"

Floco's voice also became a blurry little dot on the canvas.

Douglas remained expressionless high in the sky. In his view, defeating Froco was a matter of course. All he needed to do now was extract Froco's soul and then give some to Ophelia, who would then gain access to the method of connecting the soul fragments.

It was assumed that Ophelia could only gain enlightenment through her own experience, but unexpectedly, she found a distressed fifth-tier wizard in this closed-off wizarding world. Ophelia's luck was, to say the least, quite good.

However, just as Douglas was about to completely extract Floco's soul, a thin white thread suddenly appeared on the surface of Floco's spirit body and wrapped around it more than a dozen times, with the ends of the thread extending into the unseen distance.

Douglas's movements stopped there.

A moment later, he chuckled softly, then released his grip and put Floco's soul back.

"Well, Ophelia, it seems your luck isn't so good. This Froco is already bound to Thor."
