Chapter 485: Chapter 448: Escorting the Goddess _2

After hitting those charging Kuotuo Murlocs, the Bone Proliferation Virus instantly grew into Bone Coral, skewering a large swath of Kuotuo Murlocs together.

The Black Tide kept spinning, sweeping every invading spot with Bone Proliferation Virus Bullets, countless Bone Coral wrapped Kuotuo Murloc corpses fell, the scene was so bloody and brutal it made Katherine’s scalp tingle.

She had never seen such an efficient method of slaughter; the Black Tide seemed no longer a mere conventional war weapon.

What Katherine didn’t expect was that even though countless Kuotuo Murlocs were being killed every second, these monsters seemed to have no fear, continuously advancing to their deaths under the Deity’s orders.

As the Black Tide ran out of its first round of ammunition and was changing magazines, dozens of Kuotuo Murlocs had already pounced onto the Black Tide.

Most of the Kuotuo Murlocs were flung off by the high-speed rotating Black Tide, but many still managed to latch onto the armor with their sharp claws and cling on for dear life.

Following the first wave, the second batch quickly climbed onto the Black Tide’s outer armor and began frantically destroying the gun barrels.

More Undead Weapons started to exhibit their power as colorless, invisible undead gas was thrown out, poisoning batch after batch of Kuotuo Murlocs to death, and undead drones were also fully released, attempting to intercept the Kuotuo Murlocs in the air.

But no matter how high the efficiency of the killing, it was pointless; there were simply too many Kuotuo Murlocs.

It wasn’t just their numbers; some Kuotuo Murloc Magicians mixed within the towering water currents began casting spells at the Black Tide, and they started off with Starburst!

Amberser could not tell if it was the legendary Kuotuo strongman taking action, or if it was the chaotic spell casting ability that turned Fireball Technique into Starburst.

Four meteors grazed the edge of the Black Tide and fell, failing to destroy the Black Tide but instead smashing a lot of Kuotuo Murlocs below. However, they were completely undeterred by the casualties, within the realm of this Goddess, all Kuotuo Murlocs were inflicted with an effect similar to "Crown of Madness," making them fearless in the face of death!

Then more spells were thrown, landing on the Black Tide’s armor and leaving behind large scars.

"They’re really insane! She doesn’t care at all how many Kuotuo Murlocs die!"

Amber Shiushi felt utterly helpless; which Deity would treat their followers so badly? Brivodoup really seemed to prefer all Kuotuo Murlocs to die rather than let Amber Shiushi escape unscathed.

But She knew she was facing a Lich; tearing down this warship and killing Amber Shiushi’s body would merely be a minor setback for him, and soon he could resurrect from the Life Casket.

So, what difference did it make if the Kuotuo Murlocs died a white death?

Indeed, the most difficult to deal with are the mad ones; you can’t logically predict their behavior.

But since the opponent wanted to do so, Amber Shiushi wouldn’t just sit and wait for doom.

The Black Tide was quite valuable!

Amber Shiushi said to Katherine, "You stay here, don’t go out rashly. I’ll go distract those Kuotuo Murlocs, and you’ll find a chance to let the Black Tide ascend and leave. If it really doesn’t work, use the ship’s Teleportation Circle to get out, don’t worry about me, I have plenty of Life Caskets!"

Having said that, Amber Shiushi donned his Mithril Mech and jumped out from the bomb bay.

The gigantic Silver Mech rapidly plunged, immediately drawing the attention of countless Kuotuo Murlocs.

The frenzied magic began to bombard Amber Shiushi incessantly; he did not know how many spells were hitting him, trying his best to modify and deflect them with the Dice of Destiny. In this manner, he lured the Kuotuo Murlocs downwards, and just before crashing into the sea, Amber Shiushi suddenly turned around and raised his right hand towards the sky.

Even in a different body, the mark bestowed by Talos still radiated a faint glow.

At this moment, Amber Shiushi didn’t hesitate to cast the Ninth Circle Spell—Revenge Storm!

Within this chaos-filled magical field, countless bolts of thunder spontaneously formed, enveloping all the Kuotuo Murlocs chasing Amber Shiushi.

Lightning danced wildly, each flicker bringing about new effects due to the chaotic realm.

Under Amberser’s full control, the disappearance of each lightning strike brought forth a new attack magic effect.

For a moment, this space engulfed by ocean currents was filled with powerful spells.

Thunder, flame, sonic booms, poison, corrosion... It was almost like an encyclopedia of attack magic, where millions of different lights and shadows formed a vortex, crushing all the Koutoa Murlocs within it.

The Revenge Storm originally didn’t have such terrifying effects, but this was a blessing from Talos, and its power was already much stronger than ordinary Ninth Circle Spells. Combined with the boost from the domain of chaos and Amberser throwing all his Dice of Destiny, he ensured that this Revenge Storm was unleashed in the most ferocious manner possible.

The magical effects before him were ten times more powerful than a normal Revenge Storm!

In his entire life, Amberser had never seen so many spells erupt at the same time, their lights and shadows more dazzling than fireworks. The wild magic tore through scales, destroyed flesh, and even wore down the bones of the Koutoa Murlocs. Their mangled bodies rained down like a shower, staining the sea red.

Amberser didn’t know how many Koutoa Murlocs his Revenge Storm had killed, but even those in the surrounding water currents were affected, seemingly erasing all living creatures in sight with one hit.

At the same time, the glow from the metal ring on Amberser’s hand faded.

This was a bracelet given to him by the God of Alchemy; the light signified safety, indicating that Talos was not watching him.

But now, with the light extinguished, it meant that Talos’s gaze had fallen upon Amberser.

It must have been because Amberser had just cast the Revenge Storm, which resonated with the Lord of the Storm and piqued His curiosity, leading Him to cast His gaze down.

Meanwhile, Amberser’s Black Tide crashed down from the sky in a broken heap, swarmed by a dense mass of Koutoa Murlocs.

Despite their efforts to ascend, the Revenge Storm’s range was ultimately insufficient, and the Black Tide was brought down by the sheer numbers of the Koutoa Murlocs.

Amberser felt his soul trembling— that was his most expensive warship!

"To death with you!"

No longer able to hold back, Amberser directly summoned the Golden Throne and stretched out his right hand toward the depths of the sea.

The towering Golden Throne shrank in an instant as a mass of pitch-black energy burst forth from Amberser’s fingertips, swiftly spreading and blanketing the entire boiling sea before descending like a net.

Ninth Circle Spell—Verdict of Death·Mass!

The Verdict of Death was originally meant to target individuals, instantly killing those whose life force wasn’t strong enough and leaving unharmed those who could withstand the judgment.

But this time, Amberser had poured most of the power accumulated in the Golden Throne into this one spell.

As long he had enough gold, Amberser possessed the strongest spellcasting ability in the Mortal Realm. Spells that required a whole Mage Group to chant for half a day could be released by Amberser alone.

Amberser, by himself, was equivalent to ten thousand high-ranking mages casting spells simultaneously!

A several-kilometer-wide net of darkness, undeterred by the water, reached all the way to the seabed, instantly killing all living beings it encountered!

A moment later, countless Koutoa Murloc corpses floated to the surface, filling the sea.

Amberser had no time to lament the expenditure of his Verdict of Death. He looked up at the high and mighty Koutao Mermaid Goddess. Her projection of seawater was always present, but She wasn’t crazy enough to directly attack Amberser, only commanding the Koutoa Murlocs to besiege him.

It was as if the Koutao Mermaid Goddess was startled by Amberser’s terrifying spell—how could a mortal possess the power to cast such a fearsome spell on his own?

The Koutao Mermaid Goddess’s lobster hair let out a shriek, "Talos, it’s You, isn’t it? You’ve disguised Yourself as a mortal?! I smell Your lightning stench. You dare lay hands on my followers, Aeo will punish You!"

Amberser chuckled and calmly floated in front of the Koutao Mermaid Goddess, raising his right hand as if murmuring to the mark of Talos on it, "Great Lord of the Storm, I know You are watching over me, so please bear witness to my vow! I will present You with the grandest wedding. I will deliver the Koutao Mermaid Goddess Brivodup to Your Divine Realm, for You to deal with as You please."
