Chapter 902: 281. “Where is Death?”_4
They roared and bellowed, their backs sprouting dozens of writhing tentacles, each one’s suction cups spewing dark green venom.
The enhanced Dreadscale Vanguard gave up all spellcasting and charged towards the Deep-sea Wizards with their poison-covered robust bodies.
Their swimming speed was so fast it was aggravating, their tails coiling and snapping, launching like lightning with a bang, their attacks growing increasingly ferocious.
In contrast, the countermeasures of the Deep-sea Wizards in the water were quite limited.
Deep Sea Spells were either obtained by breaking Sea Monster Spells or transformed from Water Spells.
Either they controlled water to shoot at the enemy, or they controlled the flow of the seawater to form barriers to block the enemy.
...
Only high-level Deep-sea Combat Wizards like Lonco could summon Mini-Mountain Ocean Giants to join the battle.
These strategies were threatening to the Sea Monsters when the power of frost was dominating.
But after the Spire’s ejected venom contaminated most of the seabed seawater, the various methods of the Deep-sea Wizards became good-looking but ineffective.
The reason was simple.
The venom spewed by the Spire was deadly poison to Human Wizards, but for Sea Monsters, it was Big Big tonics. noveldrama
The Deep-sea Wizards using the venom against the Sea Monsters was akin to delivering tonics right to their mouths.
Who has ever been killed by getting hit with delicious things like hamburgers, French fries, and cake?
No one, right?
By the same token, Sea Monsters faced the oncoming venom without care, charging recklessly, shrugging off the seawater controlled by the Deep-sea Wizards, and wreaking havoc in the enemy’s formation.
In this moment, the Sea Monsters fully exploited their home advantage.
After Noland Lee pierced the Queen’s Barrier, putting the Sea Monsters at a disadvantage, the Sea Monsters managed a remarkable turnaround.
“Ha, this is entertaining. The Deep-sea Wizards’ combat ability in water is actually this crappy…”
Noland Lee, with arms crossed, gave a slight shrug and complained to Nolin:
“I thought Lonco could at least hold his own against a Wildtide Caster. Now it seems, if it weren’t for those more than 2000 wizards tipping frost mana above the sea surface, the Deep-sea Wizards underwater would’ve been wiped out by the Sea Monsters long ago. Don’t you think so, Nolin?”
“Yes, Sir!” Nolin nodded, loyally responding:
“You’re absolutely right. Apart from being more adept at moving in the sea, the Deep-sea Wizards don’t actually possess greater combat advantages than other Wizards. Comparatively, using lightning against Sea Monsters is a skill that Deep-sea Wizards, who specialize in the Deep-sea realm, must master.
“Of course, your inventions of the ‘Underwater Heat Ray’ and ‘Sonic Boom’ Spells are also suitable for underwater combat. Your magic accomplishments truly impress me.”
“Mmm~,” Noland Lee basked in Nolin’s bootlicking, looking content as he mused:
“If the Deep Sea Branch’s attitude was a bit nicer and they didn’t harbor any crooked thoughts towards me, then I would have been quite willing to sell the ‘Underwater Heat Ray Magic Scroll’ to Lonco ahead of time.
“Reducing the price of the ‘Sonic Explosion Magic Scroll’ isn’t out of the question either.
“But now~ forget it.
“The group of Sea Monsters captured Wizards like Yorksim and locked them up in the Pirate Ship, using them as hostages in the standoff with the Deep Sea Branch.
“Under such circumstances, Lonco doesn’t dare to use the ‘Sonic Explosion Magic Scroll,’ for fear of accidentally injuring his own people. That Benji, he’s probably concerned about lightning injuring the Wizards, which is why he hasn’t made a move yet.”
“Yes, Sir, I think so too…” Nolin echoed.
Before she could finish her sentence, a captivating thunder and lightning radiance suddenly lit up on the Magic Vision.
“Oh? Is that Benji about to take action?”
Noland Lee sat up straight and commanded:
“Nolin, record his combat data for me.”
“Yes, Sir!”
