Chapter 297 - 297 The Collapse
297 The Collapse
The dead mermen suddenly exploded and harmed their own companions.
The Red-Eyed Black Dragon, the White Dragon Saint, Eliza, and Scarlen attacked at the same time.
Although the Desert Fishermen were ferocious, Su Wan’s troops were able to launch a counterattack.
Someone blew into a horn and a dull sound rang out from the water.
Su Wan suddenly discovered that the centaur’s power was surging. Blue runes appeared on her body. The greataxe in her hands glowed faintly blue. It was as though the sharpness of the axe could cut through space. The pressure was immense.
“Xu Yuan, help me!”
Xu Yuan’s aura radiated further. The centaur slowed down.
Su Wan took advantage of this and pressed forward as she controlled the Heavy Blade Warrior and made it swing its blade.
The centaur raised her greataxe to block the attack.
Su Wan didn’t back down. Xu Yuan’s aura suppressed the centaur’s power and restricted her movement.
The battle between the two sides raged on. Even if the mermen had the home-ground advantage, they were losing.
The Desert Fisherman Lord saw more and more crystals melting before his eyes. He couldn’t sit still and do nothing!
A dark-blue magic staff appeared in his hand. He jumped down from the lake and landed on the ground. Hundreds of fist-sized holes appeared in the translucent shield, and the lake water flowed down.
When the lake water fell, they turned into sharp icicles in midair and descended on the troops at great speed. The troops who were hit by these icicles were severely injured.
The mermen took this opportunity to charge forward.
Their defensive line was weak. Xu Yuan activated the Blessing of the Demonic Dragons and applied it to the troops.
An afterimage flashed past, and a merman felt a sharp pain in his neck.
Eliza had transformed into the Night Succubus Queen. She held a sword in her hands and flitted through the crowd as she slashed and hacked. Even the strongest shield couldn’t withstand her attack.
When the Desert Fisherman Lord saw Eliza, he smiled. The lake water suddenly fell in a deluge and enveloped him. Numerous icicles broke apart and shot forward like knives. The water turned into an ice cuff around the ankles of Eliza’s feet.
However, before anyone could even react, the cuffs broke apart. A shadow flitted past.
The Night Succubus Queen moved at an impossible speed and rushed toward the icicles. Her sword waved in the air. In the blink of an eye, the icicles were cut through.
The mermen were terrified. They didn’t even get the time to dodge. Eliza rushed at them in a blur. A cold light flashed and tried to break through the water shield.
Eliza wanted to break through the shield, but the sword in her hand felt heavier. It was as though she was trying to cut through mercury. The potency of her attacks decreased.
She was unable to break through. She charged at the mermen who were nearby. She gave up on the Desert Fisherman Lord for now.
The other mermen were just feeling relieved when their companions dropped dead. The Desert Fisherman Lord continued to use his power to condense more icicles and throw them at Eliza.
However, the Night Succubus Queen’s power was beyond anything he had seen before. No matter the kind of attacks he launched at her, she always had a way to block and parry.
He watched helplessly as she slaughtered dozens of mermen. Their corpses piled up like a small hill.
The corpse in front of the water shield exploded as though they were filled with gunpowder. The terrifying shockwave caused the shield to break.
The Desert Fisherman saw the Night Succubus Queen before him. He was shocked. With a wave of his hand, he made the water curtain rise around his body again.
However, before he could make the water rise high enough, he felt a sharp pain. His head flew free of his body.
Eliza appeared behind him. The Night Succubus Queen didn’t hesitate. She flitted around and killed the surrounding mermen.
However, the Desert Fisherman Lord did something that shocked everyone. The headless body stood up and lunged for its head. The headless body fumbled for its head, found it, and rose back up to the lake in the sky.
Eliza was too stunned to follow. ‘How is he alive?’
After returning to the lake, the headless body placed the head back in its place. Energy surged around the neck and the Desert Fisherman Lord was healed.
“Kill them!” he shouted.
The mermen had been standing around in a daze. After the order was issued, they roared and charged.
The centaur was still engaged in a fight with the Heavy Blade Warrior, but the powerful aura greatly restricted her movement. She could neither fight properly nor escape.
The remaining mermen didn’t dare to leave the lake.
Although the mermen fighting on the ground were fierce, they couldn’t break through the enemy’s defense line.
The crystal ball continued devouring the endless magic liquid from the melted crystals.
Su Wan’s eyes lit up. She wanted to upgrade the crystal. It was a huge surprise for her that the crystal was capable of so much!
After devouring all the liquid, the crystal ball glowed with a dazzling light. The hollow core disappeared from its perch and appeared on Su Wan’s hand.
Su Wan sensed a familiar aura.
Just then, cracks appeared on the ground like spider webs. The lake in the sky began to shake. The water in the lake surged violently. The place was about to collapse!
The Desert Fisherman Lord screamed in terror. The mermen were petrified. They felt the horror of the inevitable disaster.
It felt as though the grim reaper was on their heads, ready to reap out their souls.
The lake crashed to the ground. The earth shook because of the impact. The incident seemed to have triggered a flood. Water surged out with force.
A huge wave crashed and swept along rocks and gravel with it. The water enveloped everyone. The mermen were caught in the momentum.
Su Wan continued to will the Heavy Blade Warrior to fight against the centaur. The runes on the centaur’s body glowed dazzlingly.
Suddenly, the lake shattered with great force. The sound was loud and terrifying. Xu Yuan flew toward Su Wan.
The 100-meter-tall wave crashed down and swept everything away.
Su Wan was surprised. She had never seen something like this before.
