He is the Lord of MC, not the God of Light!

Chapter 166 166. Listen to the echo of the sea, Lugia, slay the demon!

Deep in the sea.

Neptune, clad in golden armor, swam with a slender mermaid tail that swung out powerful waves. He held a deep blue spear in his hand, and the man and the spear became one, turning into a spiral arrow and charging forward.

He rushed head-on into the mouth of a huge Leviathan. The next moment, the Leviathan's flesh and blood exploded, and Neptune continued to charge like lightning.

With some dodging and moving around, he killed dozens of Leviathans in a short while.

But this is not enough to ease the situation at all on the battlefield where the mermaids are now.

Looking around, the once peaceful and tranquil mermaid territory is now littered with the corpses of Leviathans and mermaids.

Even more, the number of Leviathans continued to increase as time went by and more mermaid warriors died.

From the beginning, when Neptune returned, there were barely over ten thousand Leviathans, but now there are at least seventy to eighty thousand Leviathans.

Neptune took a deep breath, wiping away the sizzling, smoking black blood remaining on his body with his sea fighting spirit.

Leviathans are not as numerous as the Mind Flayers, which are a disaster, nor can they pollute corpses after death as the Fallen Shadow of the Lord of Sloth. However, Leviathans are definitely the most hated and troublesome enemy for all races during large-scale legion wars.

The source of jealousy lies in devouring, absorbing, assimilating, and dividing...

Leviathan is not only a siege weapon for the demons due to its huge size, but it also constantly devours and assimilates the corpses of enemies during war and evolves the enemies' special abilities.

Even after continuously absorbing corpses, it can grow rapidly, and like cell division, when it reaches a certain limit, it will split into two...

Even if it is a dead Leviathan, it will continue to absorb corpses and be reborn as a new individual in the pile of corpses.

This thing, like the undead, the more you fight, the more it appears...

Although Leviathan can only absorb beings with extraordinary powers, it cannot compare to the exponential explosion of the Undead Legion like a snowball.

But because of this, every Leviathan is very powerful.

In a nutshell...

"If this continues, the mermaid tribe will be wiped out!"

Neptune fired a shot, blasting the three Leviathans to pieces.

Seize the opportunity and swim quickly to the area near the Holy Moon Ring where there are the most Leviathans.

The Leviathans here are even more powerful. Even Neptune, the heroic knight, dares not face some of the super-large Leviathans.

And this is also the core of this war.

After crossing the Leviathan encirclement, Neptune finally met his father and the elders.

At this time, the mermaid leader was under the protection of the elders, using the weak connection with the Holy Moon Ring to continuously attack the unknown formation in front of him.

Inside the formation, all the mermaid rebels led by Om had fallen to the ground, with worm-like blood threads spreading out from their flesh and connecting to Om's body.

Om's eyes were wide open as he stood quietly in the center of the Bright Moon Holy Ring. The gray-black mist condensed from his right arm continued to penetrate into the Bright Moon Holy Ring.

Today, the entire outer ring of the Bright Moon Holy Ring has become completely dim.

Neptune tightened the spear in his hand and said hurriedly:
"Father, I'm back!"

"Neptune."

The mermaid leader took the opportunity to take a breath, raised his hand and smashed it, and the countless Leviathans behind Neptune disappeared under the impact of the sea.

"How are your mother and the others?"

"Those of our tribe who are incapable of fighting have been moved to the depths of the abyss! There aren't many Leviathans there, so Mother can handle it!"

"it is good!"

The mermaid chief replied tiredly, then gathered his strength and rushed towards the mysterious magic circle of the Bright Moon Holy Ring.

After a collision, the fish scales on his arm were shaken by the reaction force and a lot of blood spilt out.

The Leviathan here is more powerful, and Neptune has little chance to show his strength. He can only quickly approach the area of ​​the Holy Moon Ring and shout.

"Ohm! Wake up! Look at what you've done! Stop it!"

"It's useless, Prince."

The great elder of the mermaid tribe said anxiously:
"This is the work of the King of Jealousy. Om has been completely bewitched by the King of Jealousy! He won't hear anything you say!"

Neptune clenched his fists and said angrily:
"Why would Om do such a thing?!"

"Now is not the time to dwell on this."

The Mermaid Tribe's Great Elder smashed three Paladin-level super-large Leviathans with one palm and said hurriedly:
"Grand Prince, prepare yourself! You must escort the mermaids out of here! Go to the Dawn Cult and seek refuge with His Holiness the Pope!"

Neptune's heart tightened. He understood that his father and the others had already prepared themselves for the worst.

but……

Picking up the spear, Neptune followed the other elders to attack Leviathan that was rushing towards them.

"Father! Elders! Hold on a little longer! I've sent people to the Dawn Cult for help! His Holiness the Pope will definitely come to rescue us!"

That being said, Neptune also understood.

Not to mention the starting point, this place is even far away from Snow Port. If Hesto goes back for help, it will probably take two or three days to go back and forth.

This time is enough for the mermaids to be destroyed several times.

After all, not everyone can have the same speed as a mermaid in the sea.

But Neptune didn't say anything like this that would undermine morale, nor did the mermaid leader and the others.

The mermaid leader attacked the formation several times but failed. His eyes turned fierce and he said in a deep voice:
"Neptune, prepare to take the rest of the tribe away!"

Neptune was stunned for a moment, and his pupils shrank.

"Father!"

"Later, I will use the power of the sea granted by the Bright Moon Holy Ring to detonate the turbulent currents in the abyss!"

There was a hint of determination in the mermaid leader's tone.

"I will never allow the Bright Moon Holy Ring to be contaminated by the scum of the demon clan!"

Or... through the hands of his son Orm.

In this way, even if he died, he would not be able to face the ancestors of the mermaid clan.

Neptune was speechless, but he was not a hesitant person after all.

Although he had a narrow escape from detonating the turbulence in the abyss, he believed in his father, the most powerful patriarch in the history of the mermaids, and with the cooperation of the legendary Great Elder, they all had a chance to survive.

What Neptune needs to do is to stop talking nonsense and affect her father's determination, and protect the tribesmen who have no fighting ability and leave the abyss.

In this way, the raging turbulence will certainly be enough to tear the formation apart. Although Om will undoubtedly die, it can delay enough time to slow down the demon offensive and hold out until the Dawn Cult arrives to help.

After taking a last look at Orm, Neptune suppressed the sadness in his heart, flicked his tail and prepared to leave.

But suddenly, a surge of vitality crossed the space and descended on the Holy Ring of the Bright Moon. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the shadow of the Ancient Tree of Life appeared and disappeared.

Above it, there stood a divine bird and a being whose face could not be seen clearly.

"Your Majesty the Pope!"

Neptune recognized the figure immediately.

"Father! It's His Holiness the Pope who has taken action! Quick!"

Without Neptune's reminder, the mermaid leader guessed the result at the first moment and stabbed with the most powerful blow.

The formation was shaking more than ever before, but in the end it was held steady like a rock.

"how come!"

The mermaid chief looked at the intact formation in some astonishment.

That attack just now had already cost him his life, and with the help of His Holiness the Pope, he had also intervened from a distance to prevent the King of Envy from contaminating the Holy Moon Ring...

"How much power of the King of Jealousy has Om received?" The mermaid chief looked at Om in the center of the formation with disappointment. Only then did he realize that Om's expression was no longer as dead as before.

Instead, a trace of pain and struggle flashed across from time to time.

"Ohm!"

The mermaid chief's voice, wrapped in the legendary knight's fighting spirit, entered the formation.

"Wake up! Look at what you have done! Do you want the mermaids to be exterminated?"

This time, the roar finally reached Om's ears.

Even though the sound was weakened by the formation and could only be heard as faint as a mosquito's hum, Om still heard it.

Opening his eyes with difficulty, Om looked around blankly, and the first thing he noticed was the bodies of the mermaid warriors scattered on the ground who had followed him into the holy land.

His pupils shrank, and he saw the mermaid chief and elders covered in blood outside the formation in the distance.

Leviathan, like a black wave, was rushing towards them continuously, and his most jealous brother Neptune was also fighting in it.

Om was startled, a hint of panic flashing across his eyes.

"This is...I did this?"

The mermaid leader was still shouting something, but Om could not hear it at all.

Feeling the constant wailing and anger of the Bright Moon Holy Ring under his feet, Om grabbed his hair in pain.

"That's not true... I'm clearly undergoing the test of the Bright Moon Holy Ring. This is all an illusion! It's not real!"

"The Second Prince..."

A labored gasp sounded beside him. Om turned around and saw that the old mermaid who had taken care of him since he was a child and had been trying to dissuade him just now was lying on the ground dying.

"Grandpa Zekota!"

Om quickly rushed over and helped the other person up, watching the other person's hot blood continue to spill, and the shimmering fish scales gradually dimmed.

Om finally realized that he had done something really wrong.

Om, who had never shed a tear, burst into tears.

"I didn't mean to do this... I didn't mean to do this! I just wanted to prove myself! I just wanted to take back the glory that belongs to me..."

"I see……"

Zekota smiled with difficulty, raised his hand and grabbed Om's wrist, his rough palm was cold.

"I always knew...that you were a hard-working...good kid."

"You're excellent, so... there's no need to be jealous of anyone. Don't make the same mistakes anymore..."

"Don't let the devil...take advantage of your heart..."

Zekota tried his best to give his only shining, blood-stained scale to Om.

The last bit of life also dissipated in Om's arms, and he became a cold corpse like the other mermaid warriors.

Om finally woke up. His world was more peaceful than ever before, so peaceful that the stinging pain from the bracelet on his right wrist penetrated deep into his bones.

“You lied to me… You lied to me!!!”

Om went completely crazy, and without hesitation he picked up the long knife beside him and slashed at his right arm.

But he couldn't bring himself to do it after all. The left arm that held the knife made a teeth-grinding sound, and in the blink of an eye, it twisted into a pretzel.

Om wailed at the top of his lungs, the blood of his compatriots stung his soul, and the distortion of his body stung his will.

He didn't know what hurt the most, and could only curl up on the ground, watching his left arm and fish tail twisted into a creepy arc.

The bracelet no longer concealed the Ouroboros's eyes, which shone with an obscure light.

"Isn't this what you want? A world... where you should enjoy glory."

The right arm seemed not to belong to Om. It pressed on the ground and dragged him towards the core area of ​​the Bright Moon Holy Ring.

"Now, you have brought a balm to this sick world, my dear child. You are glorious."

"Like I said before, the road to revolution is inevitably bloody and tearful. The mermaids cannot understand you. To them, you are a sinner, but everything in this world has two sides."

The bracelet let out a wanton, strange, and shrill laugh.

"To us, you are a hero..."

"When the great demons use this opportunity to annex every piece of land on the Lodri continent, we will remember your great achievements."

After a pause, the Ouroboros eyes on the bracelet were no longer concealed, and looked at Om greedily and wantonly.

"In my belly, I will erect a monument of jealousy for you..."

Seeing that the bracelet with the terrifying demonic energy was about to be placed at the core of the Bright Moon Holy Ring, Om became more and more crazy.

"Get out! Get out! Get out of here!!!"

If my left arm is broken, I will bite it with my teeth.

Om attacked his right arm frantically, biting it inch by inch, and in an instant, the white bones were visible.

But Om was still like a madman. He endured the pain of a broken neck and bit the bracelet with such force that his teeth broke and blood flowed.

"How sad, kid... You deserved a decent ending."

The bracelet laughed wildly, then turned around and pressed its right arm, which was on the verge of breaking after being bitten by Om himself, onto the Holy Moon Ring.

"Thank you for your help, now, take a break, kid..."

"You're useless."

The bracelet shattered into pieces and merged into the Holy Moon Ring.

Om's eyes were bloodshot, he spoke incoherently and banged his head on the ground.

"No! This can't happen! Don't you want my jealousy? I'll give it to you! Leave the Bright Moon Holy Ring! Leave Him!!!"

A gray-black column of light shot up into the sky, and the projection of the Ancient Tree of Life gradually turned into nothingness.

Outside the formation, looking at the monstrous demonic energy in the center of the Bright Moon Holy Ring, the mermaid chief closed his eyes in despair and despair.

"It's all over... I'm a sinner of the mermaid clan!"

"not yet……"

The gentle voice drifted into the ears of everyone present, attracting everyone to look up.

Under the demonic light column, the figures of the Ancient Tree of Life and Ian were still faintly visible.

"The dawn will redeem everything."

The shadowy figure who seemed to be suppressing the demon world alone said so.

As he finished speaking, a white shadow suddenly appeared on the horizon.

The holy and divine figure circled softly in the air for a moment, then spread its wings and slammed heavily onto the indestructible formation.

then.

The formation that could not be broken even with the combined strength of the entire mermaid clan, and the pillar of demonic light that almost dyed the sea black.

They all shattered like fragile glass.

"Woo..."

The white mythical beast raised its neck and roared.

Then the world-destroying waves that were about to rise in the sea calmed down in an instant, and the power of the ocean current swept in all directions with her as the center, and the Leviathans that were affected were turned into ashes without any resistance.

At this most noisy and desperate moment, Neptune and the others heard the echo of the sea.
