Chapter 113 (2/2)

The sticky monster was both the incarnation of the God of Quagmire and its oracle as well. Before it possessed Sean, it was the former, and after it possessed Sean, it became the latter. Without the guidance of the God of Quagmire, the sticky monster was very reckless and reacted very slowly. Under the attack of those strong men and Haley, it was soon in a very difficult situation.

Haley was doing most of the work actually, her tactic was very simple. She released the green bubbles one by one from her hand, and as soon as the bubble appeared, it began to expand and exploded inside the body of the huge sticky monster; at the same time, she snapped her fingers constantly with her other hand, and seeds appeared from nowhere and dropped on the sticky monster. In the blink of an eye, the seeds started to quickly flourish by absorbing its vitality and turned into many big trees that later became many tall and strong tree men. The tree men then shook their bodies, slowly pulled out their roots, shook their branches and attacked the sticky monster.

Those men who had survived the previous bombardment were indeed powerful. They might not be able to fight for a long time when confronted by the sticky monster, but when it was busy fighting with Haley, they could easily do their bit by hitting and punching the sticky monster.

Soon, the sticky monster was injured all over and began to react more and more slowly, and it was obvious that it would be defeated very soon.

The God of Quagmire, who had possessed Sean, was having a difficult time with the incarnation of the Goddess of Harvest and failed to take much advantage of her opponent; she had got some advantages, but not many. Judging by the current situation, the huge sticky monster would definitely be killed, although this would take some time, even then it was impossible for it to win against the Goddess of Harvest.

Realizing this, the God of Quagmire made up its mind and sent out the signal as it had made an agreement with the Goddess of Sea that it would do so when it was in a difficult situation.

A disturbing green light appeared and flew into the sky, and then it spread out in the air and turned into a strange symbol.

When the symbol began to rise up, the sunny sky suddenly turned cloudy, and the wind started to blow fiercely. Meanwhile, the tranquil sea was raging.

The guard in the observation station close to the sea surprisingly found that there were many ugly creatures with scale covered bodies in the sea.

Seeing this, they were extremely terrified and hurriedly rang the bell.

“The Sea Race… is coming!”

The bell rang, and everyone was shocked, even those citizens of Garth City who hid in their homes finally came out and looked at the bay in surprise.

They knew what the sound of the bell meant: the d*mn aquatic monsters once again came in groups!

“Go… Go and tell the chatelain… that the sea race is coming!” Since the chief commander had gone to the ceremony, the official who was temporarily working there was neither as strong as him, nor as popular as him, and was so terrified that his face became pale and he stammered badly.

The officials in the lower rank looked at each other and soon hurried about in confusion.

Tell the chatelain? How? The fight over the plaza was so intense now, it was impossible for them to inform Joseph!

“Moron! It is such a miracle that you are still alive! Since you are so stupid and haven’t be killed yet!” An old officer who once was a adventurer cursed, “You are even in a daze in this critical moment? You should be prepared to fight instead!”

“But… but…” The officer temporarily working there put on a long face and said, “Only the chief commander, the chatelain, Haley, the principle priest and Master Sean can activate the hub that controls the magic array…”

Hearing this, the old officer almost passed out. None of them were there, which meant that the huge magic array that had costed a million to build, and could be used against the army of the sea race was no use at all now!

Although there were many soldiers in Garth City, compared to the army of the sea race that had countless members, the amount of the soldiers was basically nothing. In the past, the sea race had made several intrusions, and they managed to defeat them with the help of the huge magic array, and even so, the fight had caused many casualties. This time, the sea race came again, and looked fiercer than ever before, and the magic array could not be activated. What was worse, they had to rely on the soldiers…

My God! How could it be possible!

“What should we do?” the officer asked while shivering. He now regarded the experienced old officer who was very calm under this situation as the life-saving straw, hoping the old officer could save them all.

“I have no f*cking idea!” the old officer angrily replied, then he turned to the people who were running for their lives and said, “The sea race is coming now, you will most certainly die since you can’t run as fast as them! Is there any man who is capable enough to fight them? Please come with me and fight against the sea race, so we can create more time for the people to run!”

However, no one answered, even the adventurers who were normally audacious and proud. Clearly, they were well equipped, but they were still silent. They mixed themselves in with the crowd and ran to the east gate.

These adventurers were the kind of people who lived for money, now that Garth City would be destroyed, why would they stay to defend the city when they would not get paid?!

Why would they would risk their lives to create more time for the people to run for their lives while they would not be paid? Only the audacious knights would do such a thing!

Still, there were some adventurers who bravely joined the old officer and were ready to work with the soldiers to fight the sea race.

Among them, there were Ray and Rank.
