"Hoo—"
The rmaid princess in Aqua's arms suddenly let out a long breath, her pale eyelashes trembling lightly as she slowly opened her eyes.
Her pearl-colored pupils imdiately reflected the full screen of fiery red, along with a tiny bit of water blue.
That bit of water blue occupied only a very small part of her vision, yet it instantly captured all of Pearl's attention.
"Ah..." Pearl opened her mouth, making aningless sounds.
This sound was like a switch, setting the entire frozen world in motion again.
But when those fiery red molten rocks continued to fall, a blue barrier appeared, catching all the lava.
A large amount of white steam imdiately boiled up with sizzling sounds, while the heat of the gas instantly surged upward toward Royer in mid-air.
Royer imdiately retreated, dodging the steam carrying terrifying heat.
But he didn't stop attacking. While retreating, he condensed a firebird with three pairs of wings in front of him. Wrapped in cracks and accompanied by a mournful cry, it dove headfirst toward the world covered in steam below.
The massive firebird flapped its three pairs of even broader wings, directly blasting a clean passage through the large amount of white mist.
However, when the passage was cleared, the rmaids that Royer had thought would have long since escaped were actually still standing dumbly in place, looking up at the sky.
Royer's montum slowed, and he imdiately felt uneasy.
Because where those rmaids were looking... there was nothing!
"Are they misleading ? Or has whoever was originally there moved at a speed beyond my perception?"
The forr would be fine, but if it were the latter...
Royer was a third-rank wizard, but he understood better how terrifying soone who could make him completely unable to sense their presence would be.
So after realizing this, Royer imdiately retreated.
However, just as he retreated two ters, his back suddenly collided with a soft object.
Then two blue arms embraced Royer's body from behind like a lover.
Royer imdiately burst into crimson flas with all his strength, his entire body becoming a fire man.
Under normal circumstances, the flas covering his body surface would next expand into a human form the sa as him but a hundred tis his body's volu, transforming into a giant fire man to fight for him.
But this ti, although the flas tried to expand, they couldn't break free from those thin blue arms.
His full-strength struggle actually failed?
Royer grew anxious, not knowing when such a powerful expert had appeared in Nephret.
The person restraining him from behind was undoubtedly a fourth-rank wizard.
But where did Nephret have other fourth-ranks?
Moreover, this suddenly appearing fourth-rank wizard was also one who specialized in water attributes.
Among fourth-rank wizards, the only one who specialized in water attributes was the Sky City Lord, Ophelia!
A fourth-rank brazenly appearing in territory that didn't belong to them was an action tantamount to directly declaring war on Nephret!
Otherwise, Chief Frim wouldn't go through such trouble to secretly head to the Sighing Wall during the black tide assault.
"Since the Sky City Lord has appeared in Nephret, then the situation here isn't sothing I alone can handle."
After failing to break free from the restraint, Royer didn't hesitate—a lantern imdiately appeared in his palm.
He was going to directly summon Chief Frim!
However, before he could use magical power to light the lantern, the blue arms holding Royer suddenly turned into water, and the strange water attribute magical power made it impossible for Royer's flas to ignite anything.
After controlling the fire attribute particles, the blue water transford into a gel-like blue soft substance, directly extending into a protective mbrane that rapidly spread over Royer's entire body, covering him like an outer garnt.
Even facing the Sky City Lord, Royer wouldn't surrender without a fight. He prepared to explode again, but his brain suddenly rang with a "buzz."
It was as if soone had forcibly restarted his brain.
When Royer tried to mobilize magical power again, he discovered that his spiritual body had begun violently oscillating irregularly, completely unable to condense magical power.
Now, Royer could no longer struggle at all.
He had started as the hunter but had fallen to beco the prey.
His eyes were full of anger.
The next second, Royer's head was gripped by the blue gel and forcibly twisted more than twenty tis around his neck! Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet
Such severe injury put even Royer into a near-death state in an instant.
But it wasn't over yet. After completely sealing Royer, the blue gel began destructive twisting and stirring.
Soon, this powerful third-rank wizard who was among the best in the Tribunal was sealed in the blue gel and completely reduced to a pile of minced at.
His formidable body and vast magical power seed like a soft cake before the blue gel, easily crushed to pieces with a gentle squeeze.
"Hmm?" A voice ca from within the blue gel, "The soul disappeared? Already prepared positioning for escape in advance? Heh!"
The blue gel expanded and contracted for a while, turning the wizard's corpse inside into nutrients and directly absorbing them.
Then, the gel contracted and transford into a water spirit that also had a fish tail.
The rmaids below watched the entire process of wizard Royer's death and were now almost scared senseless.
Coral gripped Aqua's arm tightly, her whole body trembling.
Aqua almost let go of Pearl in his arms.
The other rmaids were even worse off—several were lying on the ground shivering, not even daring to look at the water spirit above.
The water spirit slowly descended and t the gaze of the only relatively composed rmaid princess.
Pearl also looked up at the water spirit in a daze, her mouth opening even wider, her vocal cords vibrating to produce aningless sounds.
"He was right. Coming here at this ti, I really could see a good show." Floco said with a light laugh.
Then, he turned to look toward the ocean, where the black clouds had already retreated to the deep sea area. This black tide invasion was entering its final phase.
Soon, the Tribunal would be able to mobilize large numbers of personnel to hunt down the rmaids.
If Floco wanted to save these rmaids, he needed to speed up.
He looked down at the ground again.
By now, Aqua and Coral had recovered so courage and could look directly at Floco normally.
Pearl still watched Floco with so bewildernt and curiosity.
"Like this, you can't be a rmaid princess. If you want to continue the rmaid race, you can't be a leader either." Floco couldn't help but sigh, "What a pity about your decent royal abilities."
He looked at Coral and Aqua again, "You two aren't bad. Although your bloodline concentration isn't very high, at least you're normal rmaids. If you can escape the Tribunal's shackles, there's still hope to survive in this apocalypse."
Neither Coral nor Aqua responded. They didn't recognize Floco, although their intuition told them he was sohow related to them.
Aqua was also very afraid, but thinking of Coral behind him, he gathered his courage: "Hello, are you here to pick us up?"
