chapter-941
In a room that could be described as a sealed barrier room, the Splash of the Wilde is currently there and is being harnessed. It is on top of a three-meter-tall podium and is guarded by five guards inside the room and five guards outside the doors. There is also one mage checking every once in a while, that the divine artifact fragment is operating properly.
The Splash of the Wilde looks like an orb made of water that is continuously flowing in a spherical motion. Not just anyone can use it as it would take years of studying to even harness a fraction of its power if they are not chosen by the Will of the Wilde.
If King Neptune is not greedy then he might have activated the Splash of the Wilde using Kabrakan's help. The leviathans would not have easily damaged the barrier if Kabrakan activated the full might of the divine artifact fragment. They would not have sacrificed many lives of the merfolk, but greed always gets in the way.
As soon as the barrier got broken, the hidden assassins that the Dark God that Slumbers in the Sea sent headed towards the location of the Splash of the Wilde. It might be located in the inner palace, but the Deep Assassins could manipulate their bodies to become unseen when underwater.
The monsters called the Deep Assassins look like humanoid monsters that have the arms and legs of an octopus while the head of a shark. They also crawl on the walls to further avoid detection as they have the camouflage characteristics of an octopus. They also attack by suddenly grasping the target with their tentacles and then suddenly biting their heads off with their shark jaws.The outside guards of the barrier room did not even know how they died. When the communication from the outside has been suddenly cut off, the inner guards tried to investigate but they soon died one by one. The Deep Assassins easily dispatched the inner guards and even the mage that monitors the divine artifact fragment.
The deep assassins then gathered the bodies of the fallen merfolk and arranged them in a pile. One of the Deep Assassins then started to chant a spell that suddenly made its body glow red. The deep assassin that chanted the spell and suddenly exploded into a bloody mess after it was finished.
The bodies of the merfolk and the bloody mess that the deep assassin has become suddenly started to fuse together. All the bodies merged into a meat pile and a humanoid silhouette started to emerge from it. The humanoid figure that started to appear is wearing a robe that hid its body.
The only thing that they can see is that the hands it has are tentacles while the feet could clearly be seen as ten tentacles. The face of the humanoid figure could be seen to be reminiscent of a starfish. This is the Deep Warlock that the deep assassin sacrificed its life to summon. It is a higher being that worships the Dark God that Slumbers in the Sea.
The Deep Warlock suddenly looked like it regurgitated something, and it is actually worm like beings. These worm-like beings are then placed on top of the Splash of the Wilde. The divine artifact fragment that is rotating suddenly started to slow down its rotation. It is clear that the worm-like beings are doing something to the Splash of the Wilde.
"The Splash of the Wilde is calling for me! It is being attacked!" Kabrakan stated as he suddenly received a cry for help from the divine artifact fragment.
"Where is it?" Peridot asked as she suddenly transformed into her dragon form."There! It is at the center of the castle. I might get a clearer location if we go closer." Kabrakan replied.
Peridot then grabbed the two as she suddenly swam at a fast pace. It is not the usual speed that they swam as it is an emergency. They must not let something happen to the Splash of the Wilde or else they will have come here for nothing. Peridot even used the spell called Mist Walker to turn themselves invisible so that they will not be spotted by the guards.
Thankfully, most of the guards are no longer near the palace as they are fighting against the leviathan horde. The merfolk royalty does not like to put treasure in the halls of the palace which is why there are no important things that need to protect. The most important ones are royalty itself which is why the guards are laying their lives to make sure that they kill all the leviathans.
When the trio arrived at the barrier room, they are suddenly greeted by two deep assassins that are hiding on the roof of the room. Kabrakan managed to block the sudden attack or else Levin Cloud and Peridot might have had their heads bitten off. The Deep Warlock did not bother to look at them as it is completing an important task for its god.
"What are those hideous things?" Peridot stated as she reverted to a more humanoid form since the space of the room will hinder her dragon form.
"Nevermind that! Kill them first!" Levin Cloud stated as he activated Bramble Trap.
Seaweed suddenly sprouted to bind the two Deep Assassins, but they are quick enough to dodge. The Deep Assassins swim as fast as a shark but with the flexibility of an octopus which is why they are difficult to trap. Levin Cloud could not think of a way to pin them down unless Kabrakan gets captured by them.
"Frozen Abyss!" Peridot stated as she casted a Legendary Tier degraded spell. She sacrificed half of her mana and a frozen gem in order to immediately cast the spell.
The whole room suddenly transformed into an ice cage as the temperature of the water is lowered. The most important thing is that she encased the Splash of the Wilde in ice so that the Deep Warlock will not be able to send those disgusting worm looking beasts towards it.
"The cry for help stopped." Kabrakan muttered as the Splash of the Wilde told him that it is no longer being attacked but the damage is still there. If they want to get the divine artifact fragment, then they need to defeat the enemy in front of them.
"Protect me." Levin Cloud stated as he suddenly started to pray.
"Tidal Vortex!" Peridot shouted as she created a water tornado by using the other half of her mana and a water stone.
The Tidal Vortex managed to push away the Deep Assassins and the Deep Warlock to a wall while Kabrakan slammed his shield on the ground and used a skill. The walls that the Deep Assassins and the Deep Warlock got pinned on suddenly started to trap them. The three monsters tried to break free, but the Tidal Vortex is keeping them pushed. The walls of the room are clearly superior as it is not broken by a legendary tier spell.
"Come and aid us. Descent of Yewdrassil!" Levin Cloud shouted as he finished casting.
A small spatial rift suddenly opened, and a seed fell down from it. Ywedrassil suddenly grew to a great size that it even took the roof of the room. A large divine tree suddenly sprouted at the barrier room which made the fighting forces stop briefly.
"The barrier room!" King Neptune stated as he suddenly swam towards the location of the Splash of the Wilde, but Ursalla suddenly blocked him.
The Wicked Sea Sorceress knew that the transformation of the Splash of the Wilde is happening as she could sense that the Deep Warlock has been summoned. If King Neptune were to go, there then her plans might be lost, and she might even receive punishment from the Dark God that Slumbers in the Sea.
"Get out of my way! Tidal Slicer!" King Neptune shouted as he waved his trident to create water whips that intended to kill the Ursalla.
"I will kill you right here!" The Wicked Sea Sorceress Ursalla shouted back as she parried each water whip with a miasma tentacle.
King Neptune knew that the Splash of the Wilde might be in trouble as a tree suddenly sprouted from nowhere, but he cannot go there. All of his sons and daughters that are combatants are currently trying to kill the leviathans. As he is getting focused on the Splash of the Wilde, he did not pay full attention on the fight.
A hidden tentacle that sprouted just below King Neptune suddenly grabbed him and started to pull him down. Ursalla made King Neptune think that she can only summon tentacles from the Eye of Poseidon but that is not true. She can actually summon a tentacle in a fifty-meter area around her but the farther it is the more concentration that needs to be used.
"You should not look away during a fight, King Neptune. Is that not what you taught me?" Ursalla sneered.
