A group of the Pearl Institute’s students, dressed in black outfits, was standing close to the dam.

Each of them held a lantern decorated with a white flower. The warm light was shining on the petals, making them transparent.

The reflection of the lanterns on the surface of the sea resembled blossoming lotuses as they were dropped onto the waters.

The strong waves easily swallowed some of the lanterns and their lights, but many of them drifted into the distance like little rafts, disappearing into the mist.

“Senior, I’l give you one!” Zhang Zhuo held out a lantern to Mo Fan.

Mo Fan shook his head and tured down the offer. He did not want to remember someone like this.

“Look, the sea monster’s dead bodies have sunk to the bottom of the sea. Our lanterns should be able to reach that island!” a female student exclaimed happily.

Not long ago, the surface of the sea was covered by the dead bodies of countless sea monsters. They were all facing the sky with wide eyes, like they were complaining to the Heavens indignantly.

However, as the lanterns drifted into the distance, the dead bodies sank to the bottom of the sea. They would soon decompose into nutrients for the microorganisms along the seabed.

“Tt seems like even the Heavens are hoping we can guide senior’s soul back,” Zhang Zhuo said with a wry smile. He then turned to Mo Fan.

However, Mo Fan had already left. Zhang Zhuo quickly went after him, but he only saw Mo Fan vanishing with a few silver flickers of light.

“He must be depressed too, but it was senior sister’s decision…” Zhang Zhuo mumbled to himself.

A lantern hung with a white flower drifted aimlessly on the sea.

There were a great number of tall brown buildings without windows and doors, looking like a half-completed residential project. The people could easily see the gray sky on the other side between the buildings.

Councilman Zhuang was in charge of the project, so the people had named it Zhuang City. It was less than four kilometers from the Pearl Institute. The members of the Magic Association could watch the place clearly from the Dongfang Oriental Tower.

That evening, Zhuang City was suddenly surrounded by dark red seawater. The sturdy buildings that were designed to withstand the attacks of Commander-level creatures all collapsed and sank into the water.

The Mages guarding the city all died before night had even arrived. Their miserable cries reached the Magic City.

The Councilmen and generals on the Dongfang Oriental Tower were shocked. They had no idea what had just happened. The sturdy maritime fortress had been taken out in such a short amount of time!

Most importantly, the fallen fortress had exposed the dam, the last line of defense for the Magic City!

“Did anyone find out which horde of the sea monsters was responsible for the attack?”

“It might be a new species. We have no information on them.”

“Damn it, none of them managed to take a close look at the enemy? How useless!”

“Didn’t they say we would have a long time of peace after our recent victory? Why are the sea monsters attacking so soon? Was there a higher-level existence, in addition to the powerful creature we took out?”

The trench demons were a kind of intelligent sea monster, and had the power to control many hordes of the sea monsters. They proclaimed themselves as prophets of the sea monsters. Even the imperious Rulers leading the sea monsters had to obey their orders!

However, hadn’t they already killed the prophet?

It should have died with the Rulers and the rest of the sea monsters a week ago, after the Disaster-bringer ended her own life. How did the tribe of the Sea Gods recover so quickly?

“Was the information the Shoreline Alliance gave us inaccurate? They didn’t even realize there’s another high-level Sea God!” Zhuang Yue snarled.

The Shoreline Alliance referred to the intelligent sea monsters who could command the sea monsters to attack their city recklessly as members of the Tribe of Sea Gods.

The Trench Demons that served as the prophets of the sea monsters were one of the Tribes.

The sea monsters did indeed have their own civilization!
