I can see experience bars after being transported to another world.

Strangely, the gray-robed man who had been cut in half did not scream or struggle; he simply lay stiffly on the ground.

The Night's Watch couldn't care less about anything else. Seeing that Captain Mary had already charged forward, their morale soared, and they began to fight back.

The one wielding the alchemical musket began to adjust his firing rhythm. Although the bullets' power was weakened by the water curtain, the dense barrage still provided effective suppression.

The melee fighters drew their enchanted longswords and, enhanced by the silver light, engaged the grey-robed man in close combat.

But the gray-robed man also made a move.

Another eerie chanting rang out, and pale blue patterns began to appear on the bodies of the gray-robed figures. Their movements also became faster and stronger.

A blessing from the deep sea!

The increases in power from both sides clashed, and the battlefield descended into a brutal melee.

Sword flashes and broken weapons clashed. Despite the gray-robed men's dilapidated weapons, their fearless fighting style and sheer numbers allowed them to withstand the Night's Watch's onslaught, and the scene became tense for a moment.

Lu Yuan's brows furrowed more and more tightly.

Mary can't keep going like this.

Then Lu Yuan looked at Mo Shui and said, "I'm going out."

Ink trickled from the notebook, and unusually, he didn't say anything: "...Are you sure?"

"That spellcaster must die, otherwise our firepower won't be able to recover."

Ink was silent for a moment, then sighed.

"I have something to tell you."

Her tone was somewhat helpless: "I fought with that priest before, and then I helped you out in the dream... I'm injured now."

"If you go out to fight, I'm not sure I can protect you."

Lu Yuan was taken aback.

Is the ink damaged?

She had never mentioned it before.

"Why didn't you say so sooner?"

"What's the point of telling me?" Ink rolled his eyes. "You can't heal my wounds anyway."

Lu Yuan looked at her, remaining silent for a long time, because he was unable to heal Mo Shui's injuries.

[Treatment method: ...Insufficient knowledge...Pre-set treatment plan failed...]

"You stay here and guard the hall, and also look after Mina. Besides, I don't like to leave my fate in other people's hands; I prefer to take the initiative."

Ink stared at Lu Yuan for a few seconds: "...Don't die."

"As much as possible."

Lu Yuan turned around and rushed towards the entrance.

The battlefield was already in complete chaos.

Lu Yuan rushed into the battlefield, his target clear—the spellcaster who was still chanting.

He raised the enchanted revolver, aimed, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

The bullet pierced through the chaotic crowd, but was stopped by a man in a gray robe.

"This won't do," Lu Yuan decided, and the time synchronization was activated the next second.

Click!

The world slows down in his eyes.

He darted swiftly along the edge of the battlefield, using the acceleration provided by the timer to evade attacks and continuously close in on the spellcaster.

[Rationality: 59/71 → 56/71]

Mary noticed Lu Yuan traversing the battlefield at the speed of light, and seeing his constantly flashing figure, she instantly understood his intention.

He immediately roared, his aura soaring like a rainbow, his silver halo exploding with a deafening roar, and the sharpness of his silver longsword increasing dramatically. With a swing of the longsword, he forcefully tore open a path for Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan seized the opportunity, his speed increasing dramatically once again. Finally! The last protector in front of the spellcaster among the gray-robed men was cut in half at the waist, and Lu Yuan raised his gun.

"Bang!"

The bullet traced an arc through the light screen.

The next moment, the spellcaster hiding in the crowd had his head explode and his body collapsed limply.

The deep-sea barrier vanished!

"Firepower restored!"

A night watchman spotted this and shouted excitedly.

But a sense of foreboding welled up in Lu Yuan's heart.

too easy.

The spellcaster had almost no protection, as if... he was deliberately allowed to be killed.

Just then, the corpse began to tremble violently.

A strange ripple burst forth from the corpse, instantly enveloping all the gray-robed men!

"Great Mother...accept the sacrifice of your people..."

"Give us...true form..."

That was a curse long ago etched into the spellcaster—a mass mutation triggered by death!

All the grey-robed men wore fanatical expressions while letting out painful roars.

Their skin began to turn dark blue, foul-smelling scales grew at a visible rate, their withered hands transformed into webbed claws, and their mouths cracked open, revealing layers upon layers of sharp teeth.

Almost all the gray-robed figures on the field have transformed into half-human, half-fish monsters!

【Deep Sea Kin (Low-Tier): A type of creature that has been corrupted by the power of the deep sea】

It's a trap!

That spellcaster was bait from the very beginning, designed to deplete the Night Watch's power and then trigger a mass mutation!

"Damn it!" Mary, realizing she had been tricked, roared in anger.

Although their firepower has been restored, the mutated Familia are even more frenzied than before.

They fearlessly pounced on the Night's Watch, tearing a gap in their defenses with their claws and fangs.

Lu Yuan fired wildly, but there were too many of his followers.

Before Lu Yuan could change his revolver, he saw a Night Watchman being tackled by a clan member, his throat bitten off, blood gushing out.

Reason is steadily declining.

[Rationality: 56/71 → 52/71 → 48/71...]

Just when the defense line was about to completely collapse—

A furious roar came from afar.

"Get out of my way, all of you!"

A figure descended from the sky.

boom!

The ground was smashed into a deep crater, and rubble flew everywhere.

As the smoke cleared, a tall female figure was revealed.

She was nearly two meters tall, with well-defined muscles, and held a huge warhammer with crackling lightning crackling around its head.

Alice!

She surveyed the battlefield, her eyes burning with rage.

"I've only been gone a few days, and some scum dares to attack the base?"

She snorted and raised her warhammer.

"Prepare to die!"

The lightning on the warhammer surged, forming an arc storm.

She slammed down on the group of relatives.

Rumbling--

Lightning raged among the Familia, instantly turning nearby Familia members into charred remains!

The charge of the clansmen was abruptly interrupted.

With Alice's arrival, the Night's Watch finally regained their composure.

"The captain is back!"

"Counterattack!"

Despite her injuries, Mary yelled, "Full power! Cooperate with Captain Alice!"

As Mary finished speaking, the silver halo shone again, but this time it was obvious that the color on the halo was much dimmer, clearly indicating that Mary was also about to give up.

But that was enough. With the aura of power, the already terrifyingly strong Alice transformed into a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex.

The Night Watchmen, having regained their firepower, were as if they had been reborn.

Mithril, Molotov cocktails, alchemical grenades—all the explosives poured out once again.

With the combined power of Iris's thunder and Mary's sword, the Night's Watch began their counterattack.
