Wizard: Surviving in the Steam Age with Points for Demon Hunter

Chapter 431 The calm before the storm

"Today's Cordo Bulletin - 'Deep Sea Doomsday'!"

"The entire west coast of the East Continent has been affected by the 'Deep Sea Doomsday', mainly including the invasion of huge waves and attacks by deep sea species."

"Currently, two-thirds of the coastal city-states have been destroyed, and countless people have migrated to inland city-states."

"The worst hit area is the southern continent. The entire city-state on the northern coast has been almost destroyed. The main reason has been found out - a terrifying external threat called 'Source Soul Seed' is eroding the southern continent."

"There is also a vanished race that fought against the Church of Dawn in the Fourth Era - the Black Goat Tribe. Its main features are that it looks like a goat, has horns on its head, and has red eyes."

"The Western Continent, like the Eastern Continent, was often attacked by sea storms, but the results were better. With the help of the Red Moon Church and the two major wizard schools of Blood Spirit and Mechanical, three-quarters of the city-states have escaped the first wave of crisis."

"The northern continent is the safest. The Ghost School has deployed a terrifying number of legendary undead creatures to the southern coast. It is said that there are more than a thousand of them stationed in various city-states to resolve the 'Deep Sea Doomsday' crisis."

"This newspaper advises those who are still sailing on the deep sea to go directly if they are not far from the northern continent."

"There is also another important news - Alexei Island in the central waters of Cordo is working hard to build an ultra-long-distance teleportation array under the instruction of Wizard Wayne Loft."

"It is reported that it will be opened in the near future. Ships not far from there please go quickly. This may be your last chance to escape..."

Although the number of countless ships struggling in the deep sea had been reduced by more than one-third by the "Deep Sea Doomsday", the surviving crew members immediately headed for the nearest and safest place when they received the "Cordo Communiqué".

Needless to say, ships in the northern waters can go to the three continents of northeast, east and west, whichever is closest.

The ships in the southern waters, especially those in the central waters, rushed to Alexei Island as soon as possible.

"Great! That wizard is going to build a super long-distance teleportation array."

"I hope its destination can be set to be safe enough, preferably the Eastern Continent, which is less affected by the 'Deep Sea Doomsday'."

"It's better not to. Neither the Storm Church nor the Dawn Church in the East Continent is very friendly to pirates. The North Continent is still the best."

"Yes, by comparison, the Ghost School in the Northern Continent is the easiest to get along with. As long as you abide by their rules, you can survive there."

"Stop dreaming. Having a long-distance teleportation array to keep us alive is more important than anything else. Whether it's the East Continent or the North Continent, we must first get to Alexei Island..."

The information given in the Cordo Communiqué was indeed enough to give the desperately struggling crew a glimmer of hope, but many people also felt a sense of crisis.

Apart from the rampant deep-sea species that could be seen everywhere in the deep ocean, all the continents were actually affected.

What is "deep sea doomsday"? A more accurate name should be - "the end of the world"!
"The situation is becoming more and more dangerous, and I don't know when it will end."

"Alas, if those powerful people don't take action, the rest of us will just die."

"If I had known this earlier, I would have joined a large pirate group. Maybe I would have had more chances to survive now."

"You mean the people on the Black Pearl, right? That's right. The 'Emperor of the Sea' has ordered rescue operations in various parts of the deep sea. They have extraordinary people with spatial characteristics, and many of them have been rescued and taken to Avad Island."

"It is the safest island in the central sea area except for Alexei Island. Most of the high-level pirates have gathered there!"

On the endless deep sea, huge waves as high as a hundred meters were surging. Many three-masted sailing ships were overturned by these huge waves without even the slightest ability to resist.

Then the deep-sea creatures under the sea will surround them, and it will be useless even if there are many powerful extraordinary people on the ship.

Under the attack of deep-sea species, they can only last for a short time before being torn into pieces by some deep-sea mutant species and becoming nutrients for the deep sea.

Not only that, some ships managed to escape to individual islands, some of which were inhabited by indigenous people, while others were much weaker than Alexei Island.

Before these crew members could even celebrate, they would find that these islands that were not affected by the "deep sea doomsday" had actually already become the abyss purgatory.

"Here, what happened here?"

What appeared before the survivors were pyramids made up of human bodies.

Moreover, these human bodies are not complete, but are divided into different parts.

——A pyramid made entirely of heads, including men, women, old and young. Each head is clean and tidy and neatly arranged.

Their eyes were open, and their faces were not only clean, but they also had strange smiles on them, as if saying: Come on, join us!

Two of them are made up entirely of arms. All the arms on these arm pyramids maintain the order of elbows at the bottom and palms at the top, extending upward layer by layer.

Furthermore, the five fingers of the open palms were not stretched straight, but bent like lotus flowers, like blooming flowers, making the pyramid appear to have a thousand hands.

The other three pyramids consist of legs, feet and a torso.

"What kind of existence requires such a horrific sacrifice..."

The pirates were not without experience. Many of them who had sailed on the sea for many years had seen similar sacrifices of evil cults on some relics from previous eras.

But without exception, the records of the relics from those eras that they had seen were far less shocking than the scene before them!
"Damn it, there's a 'Deep Sea Doomsday' crisis outside, and there are actually evil people on the island taking advantage of the chaos to make sacrifices."

"Destroy them!"

"Yes, destroy this sacrificial ceremony!"

However, just when the sacrificial ceremonies on many islands were about to be destroyed, some people suddenly appeared and prevented it from happening!

"They... I recognize these people. They are the Twilight Sect!"

"Quick, run away!"

"Damn it, it turned out to be them. I didn't expect that after attacking Avad Island, these bastards would actually prepare something so horrible!"

"We can't run away, we have to fight them!"

But these pirates were no match for the gravediggers of the Twilight Cult. Even if they encountered secret monks, they would still become sacrifices under the attack of those strange gray shadows.

"The great being is about to arrive!"

"Hehe, not tomorrow night, but tonight!"

"At midnight tonight, the great, powerful and true master will descend upon the deep sea and become the ruler of all living things!"

"We, the lost lambs, are about to embark on the true path of faith, enter the real kingdom, and become people of eternal life..."

After Silas confirmed that Claire had revealed the information about the "Lord of Truth and Killing" McAllister, he immediately changed the time of the sacrificial ceremony according to the plan.

Both he, those waiting in the "real" country, and even McAllister himself were ready for the ceremony to begin.

As long as he can survive the first wave of crisis, McAllister believes that "He" will be able to use the murderous intent accumulated in the real world and the deep sea to completely devour the two kingdoms of "reality" and "killing".

At that time, he will become the first god walking on the earth in the Divine Forbidden Era, and he will also be an ancient god with two kingdoms!
“Silas, after the ritual begins, guard that passage immediately and ensure that the angels of ‘truth’ and ‘slaughter’ descend successfully. And I, the god who controls the two kingdoms of ‘truth’ and ‘slaughter’, will descend at the peak of my power!”

"Together with you, I will announce to the world that the gods have returned!"

McAllister sat on the throne of "Kill", a hint of excitement flashed across his calm face. After countless years of waiting, countless plans succeeded and failed, he was finally going to become "Him".

Everything is worth it, everything is the result of his hard work, and everything will eventually lead to greatness!

……

At the same time, in the frozen fortress of the northern continent, Vaklav Samuel Kapo waved his hand to open the light curtain, looked at the two figures above, and asked:

"Ragnar, have you found out?"

"It should be not far away. Either tonight or tomorrow night, the false god will start the sacrificial ceremony!" Ragnar Yasmani Blackmore, the chief wizard of the School of Mysticism, said in a deep voice.

"Wizard Ragnar, is it tonight or tomorrow night?" Velosa picked her nose and glanced at him: "Does the great 'fate' no longer favor you?"

"Don't blaspheme the 'River of Destiny'," Ragnar said sternly, "Be careful, if He hears you, He will bring you misfortune!"

"Heh!" Velosa simply uttered the interjection but did not continue.

Even if a demigod wizard is faced with a threat to his life if he encounters misfortune.

"Then let's do it," Vaklav pushed up his sunglasses, grinning and showing two rows of white teeth, "It's just a matter of waiting one more day!"

"Okay, I'll set off for Alexei Island now." Vilosa had been there once and suggested subconsciously.

"Then let's meet up at Alexei Island. With that little guy here, the space spell can help us get to the sea where the sacrificial ceremony is taking place faster." Ragnar echoed.

Vaklav nodded: "Let's go!"

As they spoke, the light curtain in front of the three people dissipated, and they left their respective schools at the same time and headed towards the deep sea.

……

On Red Moon Island, Miriam has also arrived and appears in front of Christian.

"You came to me first, do you want to meet that great being?" Christian asked with a smile, holding a red wine glass.

Miriam glanced at him and said coldly: "I have no intention of arguing with you. Just tell me the current situation in the deep sea and the next plan!"

"Alright, alright, Lady Miriam who is determined to save the 'Source of Chaos'!"

Christian did not continue teasing and said directly: "Not long ago, I went to see that being. He told us to keep the plan unchanged and let the Deep Sea Doomsday continue."

"As long as enough people die at sea, and emotions such as killing, chaos, and despair are fostered, the seal that traps Him will soon dissipate, and then He will be able to break the seal and escape!"

"So what are you going to do?" Miriam looked at the people outside the church who were wearing red robes and disguised as Red Moon Church believers, and asked, "Rely on them?"

"They are just part of the plan." Christian smiled under his mask. "I have already reported the strange changes here to the Western Continent. I believe those people from the Red Moon Church will be here soon."

"They are the sacrifices I prepared for the great being!"

“Not enough!” Miriam shook her head. “Not enough. The leader of the Red Moon Church hasn’t shown up yet. The killing in the deep sea is not enough.”

"Of course," Christian shrugged and said, "The rest is your task. Last time you said you would investigate the movements of the Twilight Cult. What was the result?"

Miriam narrowed her eyes slightly, with some displeasure in her eyes, but she still chose not to hide it, and said directly:

"almost."

"They should be holding a sacrificial ceremony soon."

"That's good," Christian stretched and said lazily, "Add to that their sacrifices, and even that false god, it's enough to lift the seal of the great being."

"The only thing I'm worried about now is the three demigod wizards. If the seal is lifted and Vaklav and the others take action, that person will be in danger."

“And us!” Miriam snorted, “With you and me guarding, those demigod wizards can’t harm the great being.”

"It is even possible to kill one of them, just like the founders of several major schools were killed in the Third Era!"

"Is this what you're talking about?"

Christian wanted to hear what that being said, and said ambiguously: "I need to remind you that the weirdness of wizards is not so easy to deal with, especially Vaklav."

"Then leave him to me, I will make him disappear completely!"

With that, Miriam turned and left, leaving a faint message in the air:

"I'm going to the Twilight Cult. When the sacrifice begins, I'll notify you to come."

"it is good……"

Seeing that she still didn't take the demigod wizard seriously, Christian couldn't help scratching his head.

Don't blame him for not reminding you if you die.

After all, in the Third Age, those chaotic predecessors did not have the strength to kill Wizard Lister and others.

Haha, but what he couldn’t figure out was, if Wizard Lister wasn’t dead, where would he be?

And it hasn't appeared for three consecutive eras...

……

……

Alexei Island.

Wayne appeared in the castle with Claire.

"Master, please reply... who is this?"

Mitra sensed his return the first time, and when he saw Claire, especially when he saw the two of them hugging each other, he instantly became alert.

[Master, has it fallen?]
[But why this one? She is dressed like a high-class girl in the tavern street.]
[Humph! She must have used some very advanced techniques to make the master fall into depravity for a while. I want to save him...]
Wayne: "..."

Hey, hey, hey, Mitra, your idea is very dangerous.

What are high-level girls and high-level technology?

If Claire knew this, she would definitely kill you!
"Wizard Wayne, this..." Claire looked at Mitra and asked with a bright smile:
"Is it your servant?"

"She looks a lot like the girl from Tavern Street~"
