WTYTIAAN Chapter 284

Chapter 284

*Deep Sea

Cornelia wiped away the splattered blood from her cheek. The trident drew a silver arc, and with a flick of her silvery-white fishtail, she was like a silver sword, stabbing towards the rotting, foul-smelling deep-sea ghost-faced giant octopus.

Raising her hand, she slashed. A flash of light, and the waving tentacle was severed. Black and red blood foam spread across the sea, gradually sinking to the bottom.

Countless wrecked shipwrecks floated on the sea surface. Contact with the black and red blood foam produced a sizzling sound, as if they were encountering strong acid, and were melted into several terrifying holes.

A mermaid accidentally touched the blood and let out a scream. A large patch of scales on her fishtail was corroded away.

Even though the mermaid possessed the ability to kill the ghost-faced giant octopus, it was difficult to get close. The ink and blood it sprayed out had a corrosive effect that the mermaid could not resist.

Cornelia took everything in her eyes, frowned, and grabbed the trident. She suddenly looked around.

Countless demonic creatures were constantly emerging from the deep sea. Clearly, this sea area had rarely seen any demonic creatures before, and the first three demonic tides were the same.

As a result, the total number of demonic creatures that had emerged this time was more than in the past few hundred years.

And the mermaid race, in the past few hundred years, because there were no natural enemies, lived in the deep sea all year round, and their combat power had completely degenerated.

Even with Cornelia leading the charge, they were still retreating steadily, with countless casualties.

The once-famous mermaid prince, whose trident had beheaded countless gods, if he knew that his clansmen and descendants were like this, he didn’t know what he would think?

Cornelia lowered her eyes. She could have abandoned all of this. What did the life and death of the mermaid race have to do with her? Her recognized family was indirectly killed by the mermaid princess… Ha, it’s ridiculous.

Cornelia looked at the trembling mermaid race, who were afraid of the demonic creatures, and raised a cold smile, full of sarcasm.

Really, it’s completely rotten.

Cornelia flicked her hand forcefully, and the trident in her hand flew out, severely cutting off a tentacle that was whipping towards a blue-tailed mermaid. Blood splattered out along with the severed tentacle, and the panicked blue-tailed mermaid hurriedly dodged, barely avoiding the highly corrosive blood.

The blue-tailed mermaid looked back and saw Cornelia recalled the trident and rushed back to the battlefield without turning her head.

The mermaid race is completely rotten.

But as long as she had a breath left, the demonic creatures must not climb ashore from her side.

The world cannot be destroyed.

Alice must be well.

*Freedom City

“Ino! Be careful!”

Xiao Ai saw a demonic creature rushing towards Ino and shouted to remind him.

Ino turned his head, and a bloody mouth appeared in front of him. He was startled by the sharp teeth close at hand, and raised the iron sword in his hand to resist. However, the demonic creature was faster, and was about to bite down on his head.

In the nick of time, a hand pushed Ino away and stood in front of him.

Ino looked up in surprise, only to see a Descender protecting him from behind, raising a staff and stuffing it into the demonic creature’s bloody mouth. His delicate face was full of determination, and he let out a rough voice: “Kid, run! You’re as weak as a chicken and you’re trying to go to the battlefield? Go back quickly, we’ve got this!”

Ino was stunned. Another Descender came up, swinging a heavy sword with great vigor, but said in a delicate voice: “Yes, yes, the battlefield is not a joke. Children should go back!”

The delicate Descender dislike: “Hey, this area is my responsibility.”

“You ranged mage should just hide in the back!” The Delicate Descender dislike: “What we need at this time is a brave and fearless warrior.”

“Damn, I just chose the wrong job transfer direction! Why is a woman playing a swordsman?”

“What’s wrong with that? When I get fierce, I even kill my own people. Get out of the way, go to the back and chant spells!”

“You…can you not say such things in that voice? Ugh, I’m going to throw up!”

“Bullshit, get out! This voice of mine is natural!!!”

The two Descenders started arguing on the spot, but they were able to cooperate tacitly to kill the demonic creatures, which made Ino stunned again and again.

“What are you still standing here for!” Xiao Ai grabbed Ino. “Let’s go, reinforcements have already arrived. Let’s go back and continue transporting supplies. Nika should have brought the supplies needed here.”

Ino came back to his senses and nodded quickly. “Yes!”

The two teenagers quickly ran towards the city.

Suddenly, an arm smashed onto their path. Ino and Xiao Ai subconsciously looked in the direction the arm came from, and saw Uncle Carter, who used to like to chat in the tavern, bitten by a demonic creature and thrown high into the sky, then falling down, smashing onto the ground, blurring his face.

Blood splattered. Uncle Carter, who always liked to take small advantages and liked to brag, silently left this world. No one had time to mourn for him. His position was vacant, and someone immediately filled it, slashing at the demonic creature’s hard scales with a not-so-sharp longsword.

A clear daze appeared on Ino’s face. He wanted to walk towards Uncle Carter’s body, wanting to drag his body back, just as a reward for the low-quality candy he had once given him.

His arm was pulled.

Ino turned his head, and Xiao Ai shook her head at him. “Let’s go, we should go and transport supplies.”

Xiao Ai’s voice was light and Piaopiao. Ino noticed that her gaze kept glancing in the direction of Uncle Carter, but in the end, she didn’t actually take that step. She still pulled him back.

In this war, people died every moment.

The dead left, and the living were still fighting.

They must do everything they can, grit their teeth and reach the arrival of dawn.

Only in this way can the living continue to live, and the dead can leave in peace.

*Skane Front

“General, a urgent report from the eastern front. Casualties are heavy and we can’t hold on. Requesting support!”

“General, an urgent report from the northwest front. A level 110 demonic creature has been discovered, hidden in a small group of demonic creatures. Requesting support!”

“General, the undead army has increased again! Our forces are completely insufficient!”

“General…”

Adrien’s eyes were dark, his face was as heavy as water. He listened to the urgent reports one after another, looking at the countless pairs of eyes around him, filled with panic and trust.

As the current Sawyer general, Adrien was the sea-stabilizing needle of the Skane front, as if as long as he was here, all battles would lead to victory, and they would eventually usher in the dawn.

Only Adrien knew that this time it was not like this.

The threat of death always hung over everyone’s head, and Adrien couldn’t see where that ray of dawn was.

“Reinforcements…how long will it take for them to arrive?” Adrien asked his deputy Anthony in a deep voice.

Anthony’s face was also very ugly. “General, just received news that the reinforcements were ambushed by the undead army on the way and will not be able to arrive in a short time.”

Hearing this, the deputies present all showed a few despairing expressions.

Adrien paused. He did not respond, and his gaze slowly swept across the faces of everyone present.

Time seemed to have passed for a long time, but it was only a moment.

Adrien stood up and took his heavy sword from the weapon rack. “Then hold on, hold on until the reinforcements arrive.”

“Are you so scared by some demonic creatures and undead?”

“Let’s go.” Adrien ordered, “Follow me – battle!”

“We must not – let the demonic creatures step out of the front line!”

“Battle!”

“Battle!!!”

*Outside the Tower of Audience

Sylph lowered his eyes and looked at the battle report sent by Merlin. His brow furrowed. After a while, he raised his head and looked at Theodore, who was staring at the direction of the Tower of Audience. “The battle is getting more and more intense. You should go back. They need you there.”

Theodore was silent.

Sylph also looked in the direction of the Tower of Audience, looking at the empty building that had been smashed to pieces by Theodore, and a trace of confusion appeared on his face for a moment.

But he quickly covered up the expression on his face and said to Theodore: “I’m leaving, Merlin said he found Keen’s trail.”

Theodore suddenly turned his head, his gaze fixed on Sylph.

Sylph lowered his eyes, not meeting Theodore’s gaze. His voice was still steady, as if he had not been disturbed in any way. “I’m going to kill him – kill Keen.”

“Do you want to come with me?”
