"When this happened, Lord %% was away. He was worried that you would be angry if you found out, so he rushed over to make amends and teach those humans a lesson."
After speaking, the mermaid thought the black-robed figure's mood would improve, but unexpectedly, the oppressive aura around the black-robed figure surged again. This time, even the clouds in the sky changed because of his anger.
The entire sky darkened instantly, and the snow-white clouds transformed into thick, gloomy clouds. Above the clouds, a majestic, demonic figure could be vaguely seen.
That was the remnant power of a true demon from ancient times, which appeared now because of the black-robed figure's anger.
This is the true strength of the demon race. Faced with these demonic creatures that grow by absorbing demonic energy, they can control their life and death with a single thought.
"Idiot! Do you think humans can advance four meters in a single day? Do you think they dare to do that?!"
"Four meters is the bottom line we set. Do you think these inferior creatures would dare to cross it?"
"That's not human at all, it's a god, you stupid pigs!"
The figure in black robes spoke, his voice booming like thunder.
The mermaids had never seen the black-robed figure so angry before, and they all prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling, not daring to speak.
The figure in black robes had no interest in them at the moment, and turned his gaze to the direction from which the bear-like roar had come.
He was having an internal struggle.
Should we go and rescue that sixth-tier mermaid?
Each sixth-tier mermaid was the result of his immense effort. After all, during the years when he was suppressed by those kinds of people, he could hardly maintain his own power and could only rely on guiding these demonic creatures in their cultivation to help them advance faster.
Mermaids cultivate much slower than water lizards.
But in the end, he sighed deeply and gave up the idea of rescuing her.
This is the safest and most rational choice. If the enemy is indeed a god, he will likely be useless and may even get himself killed. But if the enemy is not a god, then even if the sixth-tier merman cannot defeat him, he can retreat.
Furthermore, once his power is fully restored, creating a seventh-tier mermaid wouldn't take much time; a sixth-tier mermaid isn't worth the risk.
"Pass down the order: select some older and weaker high-ranking officers and the remaining low-ranking officers to continue the attack frequency, and have all other high-ranking officers retreat back to the deep sea."
"In addition, remain vigilant at all times, and report their movements to me immediately if you spot the giant bear or the blond man."
He finished speaking and clenched his fists.
If he is given more time to fully recover, even if it really is a god, he will still have to confront him.
……
Knights of Rovanpu.
The fourth front.
Luo Xiu watched quietly as Leila completed her transformation, and stroked her snow-white fur:
"Let's go, Leila. Today should be over. The next demonic tide won't come until tonight."
"it is good."
Leila nodded, and then her body gradually shrank until she was only two or three times the size of an ordinary bear. Luo Xiu jumped off her shoulder and landed on the Black Reef.
The two walked hand in hand toward the center of the tent camp.
At this moment, the [Demon Slayer] team had already begun cleaning up the battlefield. The corpses of both mermaids and water lizards were excellent materials that could be used for forging, alchemy, medicine making, and so on.
Everyone's face was beaming with joy, enjoying the festive atmosphere of a bountiful harvest.
Luo Xiu and Leila saw Basil standing there waiting for them to return.
"Lord Basil, how was it? Are you satisfied with the first battle of the [Demon Slayer]?"
Luo Xiu smiled and said softly.
"Okay."
Basil tilted her head back and hummed softly, but the smile on her face was undeniable.
"Amu and the others said they prepared a gift for you to thank you for your contributions to [Demon Extermination]. They asked Leila and me beforehand and finally chose a gift that you will definitely be satisfied with."
"Really? Then I'm really looking forward to it."
Luo Xiu smiled.
"They were by the main tent, saying—"
Basil paused mid-sentence, glancing at Luo Xiu who had suddenly turned to look at the sea, and asked in confusion:
"What's wrong?"
"Something's coming."
Luo Xiu spoke softly, a slight joy on his face:
"It's something I've been looking forward to for a long time."
"what?"
Basil looked at the calm sea with a puzzled expression, wondering what could possibly make Luo Xiu so happy.
But the next second, she knew what it was.
A massive dark blue magic circle unfolded above the sea in front of the Black Reef, and immeasurable magical power surged into it. In an instant, the seawater and the surging magical power surged together, turning into towering waves that intertwined and churned, like a towering wall of water that covered the Fourth Sea Area.
How can it be? ! !
Basil's pupils contracted sharply, and his eyes trembled.
There is only one possibility for this scenario.
The sixth tier is here!
"Everyone! Retreat!!!"
She reacted immediately, without panicking at the sudden riot. Judging from the scale of the magic power, this sixth-tier creature was still some distance from the battle line and had not yet fully arrived at the battlefield.
In her hand, a colossal hammer appeared, which she hurled directly at the waves, smashing down fiercely in an attempt to create an escape route for the soldiers who had no time to dodge.
The moment the giant hammer struck the water, she felt a terrifying force emanating from the handle she was gripping. The force was a fusion of power and magic, almost causing her to drop the hammer from her hand.
After shouting, a platinum-gold light erupted from her body as she used the power of her newly awakened bloodline to break through a layer of waves.
However, the hole created by the blast was not large enough for everyone to escape, and some soldiers who were far away were about to be swallowed by the giant wave.
Fortunately, Luo Xiu was faster than her.
Luo Xiu sensed the giant wave just moments before it appeared, and within half a breath, he was already standing in front of it.
Stand behind me!!!
He shouted and swung his fists with all his might, unleashing thousands of powerful punches in an instant, leaving afterimages everywhere, like stars intertwining.
They smashed a large hole in the "sea wall" in front of them.
Soon, the waves crashed down with a "bang," hitting the hard, black reef.
Even after the Black Reef reduced the magic in the seawater, the immense force contained in the waves still instantly smashed the Black Reef into deep craters of all sizes. Each splash of water was like a small meteorite, with deafening impacts. Some of the monster corpses that hadn't been cleaned up were directly turned into blood mist and flesh pulp by the impact.
The people hiding behind Luo Xiu were all stunned by what they saw, as if they had been instantly pulled back to that night eight years ago.
This is the power of a sixth-tier skill; a single skill can instantly cause a devastating blow to the battle.
Luo Xiu looked at the terrifying half-human, half-fish figure swimming in the raging waves, and gestured to Leila to lead the soldiers away first.
"You...you're not the leader of this group..."
The half-human, half-fish figure stopped swimming and looked at Luo Xiudao.
Its sound alone caused violent fluctuations in the seawater, with one giant wave after another rising up, layer upon layer, seemingly endless.
"Indeed not."
Luo Xiu said softly.
He heard the voice of Commander Rovanp:
"This beast needs to come closer, otherwise it might run away."
"Or hold it off for a minute, just one minute is enough."
Luo Xiu showed no sign of anything amiss, but instead looked at the mermaid and smiled:
"Are you here to collect the bodies of your people? What a pity, we were doing the same thing, but you interrupted us."
These words undoubtedly enraged the sixth-tier mermaid, but it did not rush forward rashly. Instead, it sneered and said:
"Are you trying to stall for time, waiting for that fat bastard here to come and gang up on me?"
"wishful thinking."
The sixth-tier mermaid opened its jaws, and a voice like that of a god singing rang out, dreamlike and melodious, as if it had transformed into thousands of threads, wrapping around Luo Xiu.
Luo Xiu's expression darkened. Mental resistance was his weak point, and he couldn't afford to give the sixth-tier mermaid the opportunity to use his mental skills.
Since arriving in this world, he has not found any species that has developed all five attributes like him. Mermaids are undoubtedly good at magic and mental power. Correspondingly, previous encounters have also proven that this species is not particularly strong in terms of speed, physique, or strength.
Therefore, he moved.
This time, he used a skill he hadn't used in a long time.
Dust.
Black dust rose from the Black Reef, filling the sky. Even at only LV.2, Dust Storm still managed to activate its evolved skill, isolating the sound.
Of course, this level of skill is easy for a sixth-tier mermaid to counter. It chuckled and waved its hand lightly, and a tornado made of seawater appeared out of thin air, instantly dispelling all the dust and mist.
But soon, its two dead fish eyes showed obvious emotional fluctuations, and its pupils contracted.
Because Luo Xiu, who was standing in front of him, had disappeared without a trace.
Without hesitation, it opened its gills again and began to sing loudly, attempting to detect Luo Xiu's presence through its voice.
Suddenly, the black mist rose again.
Damn.
The mermaid's face darkened.
If this continues, Luo Xiu will definitely waste all the time.
Without any reservations, it gently beckoned, and two enormous magic arrays, one blue and one white, appeared on its left and right sides.
First, there was the blue magic circle. As the magic power surged in, the sea level in the surrounding area began to drop. This time, the seawater that had been lowered did not turn into giant waves, but instead turned into fine mist that filled the air.
