A Helping Hand
The chains binding the Jiezena broke...
She struggled to her feet, her scales falling off as the chains shattered, and blood staining half of Jiezena body.
That stunning face held both anger and sorrow. Her two arms gripped Dual Swords, and with a sudden flick of her serpentine tail, she darted behind Lord Commander Latimore like lightning, her body almost mirroring the posture of Lord Commander Latimore bent down to manipulate the magic array.
A long sword pierced through the gap in the ribs and into the rotten chest...
The other sword, when swung, shattered the ice that Lord Commander Latimore frozen to his tail. This was probably the only part of his body that hadn't rotted yet, as it was usually frozen in ice to prevent decay. Jiezena's sword strike, cutting through the ice, completely ruined Lord Commander Latimore's body.
Jiezena's body exuded a powerful aura, and behind her was a Golem with three heads and six arms. In an instant, she pressed the skeleton of Lord Commander Latimore against the rocky ground at the edge of the Cold Pond.
At this moment, the four Siren Captain hiding in the shadows threw down their broken chains and rushed out from the darkness of the Cold Pond pool cave.
They held tridents and thrust Jiezena from four directions.
With her six arms wielding weapons such as a longsword, spear, shield, and dagger, Jiezena withstood the attack of four sea monsters. Her supple body immediately began to twist and turn. She abandoned the Lord Commander Latimore was pinning her down and fled straight towards the outside of the Cold Pond Pool Cave.
The four Siren Captain thought that Jiezena would put up a fierce fight, but to their surprise, she slipped and darted toward the cave entrance...
Unable to stop them in time, the four sirens relentlessly pursued Jiezena.
This time, Lord Commander Latimore and ambushed Jiezena, causing her some injuries.
Even so... the four Siren Captain working together were still no match for Jiezena, Jiezena calmly retreated despite the combined attack of the four Siren Captain.
In this situation, we can't let Jiezena escape like this. Otherwise, once Jiezena recovers, the four Siren Captain might not have a good time in the future.
Four Siren Captain let out a shrill scream, and a group of Sun Island fishmen suddenly crowded the entrance of the Cold Pond Pool Cave.
Jiezena squinted, her deep, abyss-like eyes gleaming with needle-like golden light. Her crimson lips hummed a song that left the fishmen dumbfounded. As she swept her longsword across the battlefield, a large group of Sun Island fishmen fell to the ground...
During the escape, wisps of white steam rose from the wounds where the fish scales had fallen off, and the wounds healed rapidly.
Jiezena combined her Dual Swords, creating a giant pair of scissors, and instantly annihilated a large group of Sun Island fishmen.
The four Siren Captain stared in horror at the Jiezena, momentarily slowing their pace by half a step. They hoped the other three Siren Captain would catch up quickly...
In reality, the four Siren Captain were almost simultaneously a half-step too slow, watching helplessly Jiezena emerged from the Cold Pond cave.
Just before emerging from the cave, surrounded by blinding sunlight, Jiezena glanced back into the cave, her eyes filled with hatred and resentment.
The Siren Captain watched in despair as Jiezena disappeared from sight...
They initially thought there was only a slight difference between them, but now it seems that even the combined efforts of the four Siren Captain might not be enough to hold Jiezena back...
Lord Commander Latimore struggled to his feet, his bones, covered in rotting flesh and cracked, shaking his head and crawling on the rocky ground as if possessed, drawing a magic circle on the rock.
He appeared extremely focused, continuously chanting incantations.
As the magical light flickered, the Cold Pond cave began to tremble, and the tremors gradually evolved into a massive tremor, causing rocks to continuously roll down from the cave ceiling.
Suddenly, terrifying, tearing roars emanated from the depths of the Cold Pond, causing even the calm, still Cold Pond to hum and bubble. Countless bubbles rose from Cold Pond Cold Pond, making it appear as if it were boiling.
Lord Commander Latimore let out a shrill laugh...
As Jiezena ran outside, she felt the ground shaking. Waves of tremors from beneath the island made her legs feel weak...
She knew that the Sea Beast Priest Lord Commander Latimore summoned his Contract Partner, Deep Sea Magic Beast that had been sleeping beneath the island.
For a Sea Beast Priest, the reason why he is so powerful is at least half due to the power of the contracted magical beast.
Jiezena deathly pale with fright.
When she burst out of the Cold Pond cave, the entire island trembled violently, and almost all the Sun Island fishmen who stayed on the island crouched on the ground due to the tremor.
Although Jiezena's legs were weak, she still ran very fast. However, a thunderous cracking sound rang out, and the stone slab beneath her feet shattered instantly. A sticky tentacle stretched out from the ground. One side of the blue tentacle had colorful patterns, while the other side had suckers that looked like a blooming Man-eating Flower.
The giant tentacles tried to entangle Jiezena's snake tail, Jiezena's body was as soft as a board. Although the blue tentacles wrapped around her, Jiezena still nimbly dodged them...
Jiezena dodged the tentacles' attack, but her running speed slowed down, and the Siren Captain quickly caught up.
A sharp trident suddenly stabbed towards Jiezena's lower back. Jiezena tried to turn around to block, but saw a sticky tentacle emerging from the ground following behind. She spun around twice and narrowly dodged the incoming trident.
Jiezena didn't dare to fight back at all, and almost frantically fled with all her might...
Lord Commander Latimore, inside the Cold Pond cave, raised his head, a ferocious expression on his face, and coldly stared at the churning waters of the Cold Pond.
The Cold Pond had now solidified into a water figure, which, though only a foot tall, possessed eyes full of spirit...
"Latimore, you woke me up!"
Lord Commander Latimore was startled and stood frozen by the Cold Pond.
With every movement he made, rotting flesh would fall off his body.
A half-rotten eyeball rolled out of its socket, but Lord Commander Latimore ignored it and continued to watch the water figures on the surface of the Cold Pond.
The water spirit's voice was very deep, but at this moment it was complaining. "You've actually become like this? The mighty Latimore has become like a completely rotten corpse... Haha."
Watching his flesh and blood fall away with each tremor of the cave, Lord Commander Latimore looked out of the cave with despair, muttering to himself, "In the end, I still can't keep this body. The ideal body is gone again... It seems I can only settle for second best."
Lord Commander Latimore looked somewhat strained, but at that moment he called out to the outside.
Outside the cave, a Siren Captain who was chasing Jiezena immediately stopped. He glanced suspiciously at the Cold Pond cave, then ignored his three companions who were locked in a fierce battle with Jiezena. Carrying only a trident, he turned and ran back quickly.
"Lord Commander Latimore, how may I help you?" the Siren Captain asked as he rushed into the Cold Pond cave where rocks were constantly falling.
Lord Commander Latimore beckoned him to come closer...
The Siren Captain walked straight up to Lord Commander Latimore Lord Commander Latimore, bowed deeply to him, but his eyes were fixed on the small water creature on the surface of the Cold Pond.
Lord Commander Latimore leaned down, his kind expression looking terrifying in a way...
While the Siren Captain was bowing, he reached out and placed his hand on the top of the Siren Captain's head. Before the Siren Captain could react, five fingers that had turned into white bones had already pierced into his skull.
The blue souls that originally belonged to Lord Commander Latimore quickly surged towards this Siren Captain...
At this moment, the Siren Captain looked gaunt, as if something was being peeled away from his body, while the soul of Lord Commander Latimore began to rapidly invade the siren's body.
The Siren Captain tried to struggle, but his body seemed to be bound in place by an invisible force. He trembled violently, his pupils rolled upwards rapidly, revealing a large amount of white in his eyes, until his body convulsed violently and he lost consciousness...
A blue aura surged into the body of the Siren Captain, while the body of Lord Commander Latimore rapidly decayed. After losing its last bit of strength, the bones scattered on the ground and broke into pieces.
The Siren Captain lay unconscious on the rocky ground in an extremely contorted posture.
The next second, he suddenly opened his eyes, and the faint blue mist in his pupils revealed a chilling aura.
His eyes darted around in a strange way, then his expression suddenly turned serious. He looked at the water figure on the surface of the Cold Pond with a playful expression and said quite naturally:
"This body is really quite weak... To regain its peak strength, we'll have to get a stronger body. Let's chase..."
With that, the Siren Captain ran out of the cave with an extremely unnatural gait and chased after Jiezena was fleeing towards the sea.
At the same time, giant tentacles emerged from the ground on the island, blocking Jiezena's path and forcing Jiezena to change direction each time.
At this point, the Siren Captain, who had been chasing behind, would quickly catch up...
Surrounded by three sirens, Jiezena had no choice but to slow down...
When the three Siren Captain Siren Captain engaged in close combat, it caused Jiezena a lot of trouble, and she had to use all her strength each time to defeat them.
During the chase, Jiezena sustained numerous wounds.
Her strength was rapidly draining away; perhaps due to excessive blood loss, she was even feeling dizzy.
A tentacle of Deep Sea Magic Beast emerged from the ground and coiled around Jiezena.
With an elegant turn, she saw the Siren Captain, who had fallen behind, catching up with an awkward gait. Immediately, the image of Lord Commander Latimore appeared in Jiezena's mind.
Jiezena's instinctive physical reaction defused an attack from a Deep Sea Magic Beast.
At the same time, she recognized Lord Commander Latimore; he had clearly taken over the body of the Siren Captain ...
Jiezena had already escaped to the beach when a tentacle emerged from the sand. Without much movement, Jiezena was struck by the tentacle... The huge tentacle slammed into Jiezena, instantly sending her flying.
Jiezena fell into the sea in a very disheveled state, her body feeling as if it had fallen apart...
The tentacle caught up with incredible agility, striking Jiezena once in the sea. However, this time the suction cups on the tentacle tightly gripped Jiezena, and then the tentacle coiled up, rendering Jiezena's struggles futile.
Tentacles, several times thicker than a water tank, nearly suffocated Jiezena, causing her to cough up blood repeatedly as she was dragged towards the beach, her body spinning...
Lord Commander Latimore was standing on the beach, looking at Jiezena was entangled by tentacles with a greedy look in his eyes.
Miss Tiffany hid in a crevice of a sea reef. The violent shaking of the island had triggered a tsunami, and wave after wave of tides were crashing against Sun Island.
The entire island was trembling violently...
The seawater churned and became incredibly murky...
Countless marine creatures were swept ashore by the tide.
Miss Tiffany originally intended to investigate the situation on Sun Island. She planned to sneak into Sun Island at night, and naturally hid in the crevices of the sea reefs. However, after the island was shaken awake, she even saw the tentacles of a giant sea Giant Beast.
That must have been an Ancient Deep Sea Octopus, its tentacles, as hard as steel, could easily penetrate rock...
Miss Tiffany saw clearly the scene of Jiezena fleeing to the sea in a sorry state, but she immediately guessed that it was a ruse staged by a cunning siren and did not slip out immediately.
The tentacles of the deep-sea octopus wrapped around Jiezena's body and dragged her toward the island.
The Siren Captain who caught up from behind simply stood on the beach and watched coldly as countless Fishmen Monster huddled up, as if the end of the world had come.
Miss Tiffany then realized that there seemed to be infighting on Sun Island.
The siren Jiezena just happened to be one of those who ran away...
Seeing that the thick tentacle was just five meters away from her, Miss Tiffany suddenly had a bold idea.
She didn't even consider the consequences, only thinking that she was good at escaping. She took out a sharp dagger from the Magic Pouch at her waist, then nimbly swam out of the crevice in the rocks, darted like lightning to the side of the thick tentacle, and plunged the dagger hard into the thick tentacle. She then wedged the dagger handle into a crack in the rock and, as the tentacle slid along, the magic dagger easily cut a long wound on the tentacle.
Miss Tiffany, with a staff in one hand and a bundle of Magic Scroll in the other, swam towards Jiezena on the back of a surging tide.
Miss Tiffany didn't have time to draw the Magic Rune Array. She quickly tore open the Magic Scroll, and with a short incantation, the sea surface rapidly froze into ice.
The giant tentacle was already feeling intense pain; it couldn't even hold onto the nearly strangled Jiezena, allowing Jiezena body to slide back into the sea.
Waves of seawater crashed against the beach, and the seawater even contained pieces of ice.
However, Jiezena, who was supposed to be dragged to the beach, has disappeared, leaving only a giant, writhing tentacle...
