Chapter 936 - The Raging Flames of War (Part 2) (2/2)

With a loud bang, that part of the sea that was hit exploded. Also because of the high temperature, there was evaporation that resulted in the rise of large tracts of water vapor.

Amidst the water vapor, it could be clearly seen that at least a few hundreds of murlocs had been blown apart. They died so horribly that it was an unbearable sight to behold.

“The biggest problem with the sacrificial spell is that it’s slow. So long as we counterattack fast with slow, we are able to deprive them of any chance of exerting their power!” that young Legendary mage cried loudly. “Even if those shrimps learned our methods from many years ago, so what? They don’t have the backing of powerful gods, nor do they have enough masters to take control and call the shots. Just relying on such slow-moving means like making sacrifices alone, they will not be able to resist the various means of the Highest Tower at all!”

The Legendary Masters looked at each other, and many of them showed guilty looks.

As the years added on to their age, their strength certainly continued to increase. But their fighting spirit, on the contrary, was greatly worn away by the passing of time. This Legendary Master who had brazenly launched an attack might even be the weakest mage among them all, but his fighting spirit and courage had put his seniors to shame.

“You’re right!”

“That bunch of damned shrimps! They think that they have the right to be so arrogant just because they secretly acquired some of our means from many years ago? In their dreams!”

“Let’s teach them a good lesson! Let them have a taste of the prowess of the modern spells!”

“Since they have come to court death, we’ll grant them their wish!”

“After fighting this battle, the coastal region will be able to enjoy at least a hundred years of peace!”

“A hundred years? Haha! After we’re done fighting this battle, we’ll set off in all directions and utterly annihilate the entire murloc race!”

The Legendary Masters went on clamoring as they turned to look out of the magic tower, at their respective area of control. Then relying on their potent magic power and precise control, they cast swift and vigorous spells, one after the other. The surface of the sea exploded and became a turmoil of tumbles. Among which, severed arms and broken legs flew around chaotically. No one could tell how many murlocs died.

At the same time, a piercing warning alarm rang in the Highest Tower. This icy cold and intimidating voice was continuously repeating itself, requesting everyone to drop everything at once. The stronger ones were to head to various positions to prepare for war while the weaker ones had to hurriedly take shelter.

Had the people of the Mifata Federation ever seen something like this? For a moment, many people panicked, and there was chaos out in the streets. People were shouting, crying and cursing all at the same time. Even though the soldiers and patrol mages did their best to maintain order, it was only up to the extent of preventing severe mayhem.

And at this point in time, somewhere beneath the surface of the sea, an altar of skeletons was emitting dark green light rays.

Countless murlocs with insane expressions were swimming from all over, rushing towards the altar.

Once they entered the region of influence of the dark green light rays, their bodies would rapidly decompose and melt. Most were completely decomposed even before they touched the altar and become green pus. Only a few managed to touch the altar. But the moment they did so, their blood and flesh melted completely while their bones were absorbed by the altar, and this integration of bones made the strange altar become slightly bigger.

And such a situation persistently repeated itself.

If it had been the other races, they would absolutely not be able to afford such a loss. But for the murlocs, though they had nothing much to boast of, had a massive population.

Just for this war, they had been preparing for a long time. Especially in the recent few years, the murloc race had been crazily multiplying its number.

Now was the time to use these resources!
