Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 7 [7] The Thorn Sea Beast, the Slaughter Begins

The soft glow of sunset paints the sea with shimmering light, reflecting off the undulating waves and the sea creatures that seem to leap and fall. The scenery of the evening glow is truly captivating!

But then, it started to get dark.

It was not darkness in the conventional sense, but rather darkness imbued with intense particle energy fluctuations.

Wang Ya snapped out of his meditative state, a look of shock flashing across his face. The particle energy that completely overwhelmed him indicated that someone had used witchcraft.

Outside the window, darkness, like thick black mud, swallowed the light, spreading from the depths of the sea and enveloping the wizard ship.

Wang Ya's pupils contracted, and the safe distance of 100 meters was also swallowed up.

"Giggle!" Harak groaned in the room, his blood-red pupils filled with instinctive dread.

Through the imprint of consciousness, Wang Ya knew that this was a sense of threat from the darkness. Compared to ordinary creatures, it would be a cat's natural reaction of bristling fur or a dog baring its teeth.

Wang Ya sealed all the doors and windows, and then blocked them with various heavy objects in the room.

On the vast, endless sea, there is nowhere that can be considered safe.

Choosing to be inside a room allows for more possibilities, at least by taking advantage of the limited space.

Wang Ya glanced at the round window. If all else failed, he could just grab the food and have Harak fly him out.

This was also a consideration when Halak was initially chosen for breeding, to compensate for its lack of mobility.

It is extremely foolish to rely entirely on others to determine one's safety.

Stroking Harak's nape to calm him down, Wang Ya's eyes were deep and thoughtful. Mastering extraordinary power was his greatest source of confidence.

Strength will not deceive or betray you.

"Those two idiots seem to live on this floor."

Arthur wore a bright smile; if Rowena hadn't suddenly brought it up, he probably would have forgotten about the two of them.

After all, someone as noble as him wouldn't have room to remember two lowly freshmen.

"Thanks to you, Rowena, I remember that day they received at least half a month's worth of food, maybe even more. With that, we can hold out for a long time."

Olsen patted Rottweiler on the shoulder happily, but the latter's smile didn't seem so natural.

He even felt awkward, but it was just a subconscious thought, a casual remark, and he didn't actually intend to take the other person's food. At least, that's what Rottweiler thought.

The group of people in the ship's corridor suddenly stopped in their tracks. They exchanged a horrified glance; there was no mistake, it was a powerful fluctuation of particle energy, as powerful as an abyss.

At some point, the lights in the corridor began to flicker, and the distance beyond was shrouded in darkness, like a giant, dark maw, sending chills down one's spine.

"What's going on? And what about that fluctuation just now?" Rowena exclaimed, his mouth agape.

Arthur and Olsen remained silent, their gazes fixed on the darkness, as if it were alive, as the darkness slowly crept towards them.

An eerie and oppressive atmosphere permeated the air, and people subconsciously held their breath.

Tick ​​tock!

Arthur touched his cheek, and his pupils suddenly contracted, revealing a glaring bright red color—blood!

A salty sea breeze blew in from the end, making the three of them's hair wild and their robes flutter backward. They subconsciously took a step back.

A strong stench of blood permeated the air, and at the same time, a grotesque human head rolled out of the darkness.

They were nearly suffocating. This was a new wizard, his head wound looking as if it had been bitten off by something.

The intense fear made my legs tremble, and I couldn't even react.

Damn it!!

What exactly happened?

Tick ​​tock!

Limbs covered in seaweed and mud emerged, covered in black scales. Seawater and blood dripped from the scales. When the whole body emerged from the darkness, the entire corridor was filled with such a horrifying sight.

The Thorn Sea Beast, an amphibious creature of the Endless Sea. Its entire body is covered with scales that are impervious to swords and blades, as well as thorn-like bone spurs.

However, the thorny sea beast that appeared in front of the three was two to three times the size of a normal thorny sea beast, and its scales were not the original blue color.

Most importantly, they detected extraordinary fluctuations from the Thorn Sea Beast.

The marine atlas clearly records that the Thorn Sea Beast is just an ordinary creature.

"This is unbelievable." Olsen stared blankly at the other thorny sea monster that appeared behind him.

A large gate not far ahead was violently destroyed, and a new wizard was dragged out by a thorny sea beast, whose neck was bitten off and which began to devour him.

This seemed to trigger a chain reaction; doors to room after room were broken down, and the sounds of more Thorn Sea Beasts rang out. The low growls sent chills down the spines of the three people still standing in the corridor.

It's easy to imagine that this kind of thing is happening at every level of the estimate.

The immediate concern wasn't finding food, but rather how to survive. A thorny sea monster blocked their path behind them, and more thorny sea monsters appeared ahead.

Arthur's eyes hardened, and without the slightest hesitation, he kicked Rowena forward, while Olsen was violently shoved backward.

"Arthur, you actually..."

"Arthur, why did you do this?"

Having lost their sense of gravity, the two inevitably fell towards the thorny sea beast under Arthur's powerful force, staring at him in disbelief.

"I want to live. I have the greatest talent and the highest status. Your deaths allow me to live, which is right and an honor."

At the same time, Arthur rushed towards Orson, preparing to escape while the thorny sea monster attacked Orson.

"what!"

A piercing scream echoed throughout the cabin, followed by more screams. Wang Ya, inside the room, had a grim expression; he had noticed the commotion.

So far, it has screamed at least twelve times.

This means that at least twelve new wizards have died.

It is currently unknown what is inside the cabin attacking the new students, but the room is safe for the time being.

Harak looked wary, raised his wings, and stared at the direction of the gate.

Wang Ya frowned; something was approaching.

He held a dagger in his hand, hidden in the shadows behind the door, his eyes cold and sinister.

[Hint: An unknown creature has been detected approaching within a 5-meter detection range. Analysis is in progress. Analysis successful.]

Target: Thorn Sea Beast (Mutant)

[Details: These are a certain number of sea beasts in the Endless Sea, belonging to the top of the ordinary food chain. Through extraordinary means of influence and modification, their bodies have mutated, possessing some extraordinary characteristics.]

【Characteristics: Durable scales, extraordinary breath, bone spikes】

They are not truly extraordinary beings yet, capable of handling this.

Wang Ya's eyes lit up, and she gained more confidence.

"They're here!"

The next chapter will be at 11:30.
