Chapter 2612: Members of the Tribe of Sea G.o.ds

　　Edited by Aelryinth

　　A group of the Pearl Inst.i.tute’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

　　s.h.i.+ning 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, Ill give you one!” Zhang Zhuo held out a lanterın to Mo Fan.

　　Mo Fan shook his head and turned 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.

　　“It 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 vanis.h.i.+ng 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.

　　The sea was perfectly calm, like a lake on the mountains that was reflecting the

　　blue sky and the white clouds.

　　If the lantern had not ended up here, it was impossible to tell which side was

　　the sea and the sky.

　　The lantern suddenly touched the back of someone’s hand.

　　The person was sitting on the water, but her legs were soaking. It looked like

　　she was sitting on a mirror of ice.

　　Her hands were extremely pale and still. She turned around slowly after the

　　lantern reached her, and stared at the floating light for a long time.

　　She picked up the lantern and put it on her palm, then opened the cover and

　　blew out the candle inside it. She then opened the white letter inside it.

　　The letter was rolled up. She slowly opened it and read the words, “Let the soul

　　return.”

　　“It seems like everyone is praying for my return.

　　“I shall grant them their wish.”

　　The woman started laughing. Her hollow voice echoed across the calm sea

　　eerily.

　　She slowly rose from the sea. However, her lower body no longer had human

　　legs. An elegant dress made up of colorful corals was covering a long lower

　　body that resembled a fish.

　　Her long hair drifted in the wind. The calm sea suddenly became restless as

　　dark figures approached the surface. They were ghastly and hideous. They were

　　either covered in b.l.o.o.d.y spikes and had fangs like sharks, or their flesh was

　　rotten and covered in pus, with swollen poisonous glands and venomous tails

　　or stings.

　　The sea was quiet and still just a moment ago, but now a huge number of

　　demon creatures had gathered around the woman at their center!

　　A few workers were preparing the battlefields on the other side of the dam.

　　The first was the Wasteland Battlefield, which was stacked up with waste steel,

　　concrete, junked vehicles, aluminum alloy sc.r.a.p, and other things. It was one

　　of the main battlefields, where the humans had once fought the Sea Skeleton

　　King.

　　Further to the south was another artificial land with an abandoned city, which

　　several expert Earth Mages had constructed using an Earth Pistil. It was a copy

　　of j.a.pan’s East Maritime Fortress.

　　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 Inst.i.tute. The

　　members of the Magic a.s.sociation could watch the place clearly from the

　　Dongfang Oriental Tower.

　　That evening, Zhuang City was suddenly surrounded by dark red seawater. The

　　st.u.r.dy 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 st.u.r.dy 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.”

　　“d.a.m.n 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

　　G.o.ds recover so quickly?

　　“Was the information the Sh.o.r.eline Alliance gave us inaccurate? They didn’t

　　even realize there’s another high-level Sea G.o.d!” Zhuang Yue snarled.

　　The Sh.o.r.eline 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 G.o.ds.

　　The Trench Demoms that served as the prophets of the sea monsters were one

　　of the Tribes.

　　The sea monsters did indeed have their own civilization
