Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1312: Chapter 1103: How About a Career Change, Mr. Chattering?

After a moment of chaos, the Undead Tribe quickly regained their rhythm... which was quite normal, as their command didn’t necessarily require them to be alive.

Sometimes, it’s even more convenient when they’re dead, as it just requires someone to relay messages.

The Undead Tribe had long been accustomed to this reverse-commanding situation... especially members of the ’Snow Cloud Peak’ Alliance. Every family has trained some special messengers to ensure that the messages relayed are accurate and not exaggerated, preventing commanders from having to correct inflated facts.

Moreover, knowing each other helps avoid the situation of ’Who are you to command me?’

The Undead Tribe’s rebellious nature has always been strong, and not just anyone speaking upfront is effective.

Edna glanced at the surrounding Undead Tribe swiftly changing formations, then fixed her gaze on a giant beast standing motionless.

She wasn’t overly surprised by Marla’s transformation... This deer-antlered giant ape form of the Lord of Beasts may not be very powerful in battle but it helps him recover a large amount of vitality.

Every time Marla’s animal form is severely injured, he automatically switches back to this humanoid form to heal himself.

Otherwise, given Marla’s limited abilities, he wouldn’t have been defeated just a dozen times.

But... Marla being able to accurately locate the Undead Tribe’s commander shocked Edna, making her more convinced that something was wrong with Marla.

She frowned, watching Marla’s form blur again, awaiting his next transformation.

The fact that Marla’s divine power could enable another transformation for the third time is nearly the peak of this beast; even with external help, Edna does not believe he can transform a fourth time.

”Edna.” An Undead Mage walked over briskly, and Edna raised an eyebrow... She was naturally familiar with the close relationship between ’Chattering’ and ’Old Age Striking King.’

Yet this mage, who usually immerses himself deep in the world of Alchemy and seldom leaves the Mage Academy in Agleya City, had been brought here as well?

The importance Black Rose places on this journey to Ningbrol Island is greater than she imagined!

She couldn’t help but glance up at the sky... Could William already know who she is?

Of course, Shar’s lover wouldn’t be completely oblivious, would he?

”Rainfall can now only float and command; you can only relay his messages.” ’Chattering’ smiled joyfully.

Edna couldn’t help but tilt her head, unable to comprehend the source of his happiness.

”Aren’t the fireworks beautiful?” ’Chattering’ asked smugly.

”You made them?” Edna asked in mild surprise, ”But aren’t you researching potions?”

”Ah... life is full of unexpected twists~” ’Chattering’ spread his hands, ”Who knew how I veered into explosives?”

”Wait... let me think...” Edna shuddered, a sudden realization... Veered off?

So you were originally researching... medicines meant for consumption?

She almost immediately shivered, suddenly remembering the ’Old Age Striking King’ who might have to consume this Alchemist’s concocted potion; if they were undermined by one of their own’s medicine, the Sanda King would likely go insane!

Edna summoned all her composure to speak in the most stable tone: ”Didn’t you always say that Lord Hill guided you onto the alchemical path?

But Hill is best at creating strange objects?

Perhaps he also saw your great talent in creating curios, so he treated you exceptionally well... Why not change styles?

Look at how perfectly you’ve made explosives!”

Although it somewhat embarrasses Lord Hill, a genius who can turn potions into explosives should indeed switch professions soon!

’Chattering’ hesitated a bit; Edna wasn’t the first person to suggest this, but he never thought the words of the Undead Tribe were credible... They can’t even tell herbs from wild grass, what right do they have to offer advice?

However, Edna was quite adept at creating potions and strange objects... Her creations had been sold in the magic curio shop at Hidden Town for several years now.

”Ah~ Rainfall said, you should keep slapping Marla, even if he turns into a bear again.” ’Chattering’ sighed while observing the spell torrent falling like a waterfall against the shadowy form of Marla, ”Why is it that in every world, when the BOSS transforms, they become invincible?

You’d think this would be their weakest moment?”

”That’s because... it appears to be the same world, but it’s actually another dimension! As long as there’s divine power involved, they can achieve this,” Edna answered seriously.

’Chattering’ glanced at her, sighing lightly: ”Edna is so cute~ just a little too serious.

Remember to learn from your sister ’Cunlü,’ and don’t be too much like the Sanda King!”

”Am I giving you too much face?” An angry roar familiar to both of them came from a three-story rooftop.

”Ah!” ’Chattering’ touched his head, looking down at the half-crocodile head on the ground, mildly dazed as he asked, ”Edna, did the Sanda King take a strength potion again?”

Edna turned her little face, unleashing the full-powered Bigby Crushing Hand, striking towards Sebek, the God of Crocodiles that had appeared once more.

This time, her attack wasn’t as effective as last time.

Sebek turned into yellow sand, blown toward the magic ship by a rush of wind.

Edna was suddenly startled. One of the five Ein Stones that had been circling her forehead, a silver mirror-colored cube emitting a water-blue light, instantly flew to the front with her thought.

Edna gently tapped it with her finger, and Bigby’s Crushing Hand was directly replaced by Sagimang’s Ice Blade Domain with the spell attached to this Ein Stone.

She had long been prepared for Sebek to use mud-type spells besides summoning crocodiles.

Even if Sebek unexpectedly used a sandstorm, which was evidently not his innate spell but a divine art, this was still above the sea!

Next to her was Ambori, who was feeling dizzy and desperately summoning giant waves.

However, the Goddess of the Sea finally got some insight from Marla throwing a spear to take down one of the undead tribe’s commanders, and was now throwing the miniature replica of her divine artifact trident at the escaping ’Perfect Baldy.’

Edna estimated Baldy wouldn’t last long... To die later than ’Rain Falling on Mortal Dust,’ ’Perfect Baldy’ could truly rest in peace with a smile.

Now, every second he persevered was his brand-new glory.

Edna’s lips couldn’t help but curl slightly... Ambori truly was a nightmare for allies.

Before Sebek’s sandstorm reached the edge of the ship, it was doused into mud by the giant wave Ambori brought around the ship.

By the time it passed through the 10-meter wide and 3-meter long Ice Blade Domain Edna had set at the front, it no longer held much lethal power.

Sebek could only revert to that big crocodile amid roaring anger.

But this time, he just crashed out of that area and turned into yellow sand again... Only before that, Sebek couldn’t help roaring and cursing, ”Ambori! Can you stay away from me?”

”Who are you?” Ambori suddenly stopped with little rationality, ”Who... do you think you are?”

It seems that as Marla’s only ally with a passable relationship, Ambori had already noticed his anomaly.

”I don’t care what you want to do.” Ambori said coldly, ”My relationship with Marla is not enough for me to help him against you, no matter who you are.

But... I won’t help you do anything either, understand?”

”But we have a common enemy now!” Sebek, who had turned into yellow sand, condensed a big mouth in mid-air, ”You...”

”Who?” Ambori suddenly laughed, ”The elves down there from the Otherworld, I’m asking you!

If I don’t want to stay here any longer, would you insist on keeping me?”

Standing at the top of the cabin, the ’Old Age Striking King’ immediately replied loudly: ”Of course not! We just want Ningbrol Island.

We don’t intend to fight to the death with the Goddess of the Toril Ocean.”

”Heh heh~” Ambori chuckled hoarsely, suddenly dozens of tridents flew out rapidly, pinning the ’Perfect Baldy’ who almost slipped away onto the deck, ”Then I’m off now!”

She whistled, calling her Sharkmen: ”Let’s go!”

’Chattering’ opened his mouth wide, looking at the rapidly unfolding story, couldn’t help but turn to Edna: ”She’s gone just like that? What’s going on?

Ambori’s IQ... suddenly came online?”

”She’s always quick to escape!” Edna thought for a moment and said, ”You see, since that time, she never causes trouble for Agleya City.

If she didn’t have that IQ for escape, she would’ve been killed long ago.

Marla is far worse than her in this regard.

Earlier, she was willing to fight because Marla was certainly slower in escaping than her, and the unfortunate one might not be her in the end.

But now, this one, she doesn’t know who it is, but is very sure it’s not Marla, Ambori wouldn’t risk her life to chance against him.”

”Berserker...” ’Chattering’ couldn’t help but mutter.

”Talos’s style... is all about bluffing the weak and fearing the strong!” Edna interrupted him, ”The Berserker may seem fierce but he fits this style well.”

The undead tribe was very shocked by the sudden departure of the Goddess of the Sea... But their surprise was probably not even a tenth of Sebek’s.

The undead tribe often encountered bosses who retreated halfway through the fight because the one left in the end is the one they should truly defeat.

As long as Sebek was still there, they had nothing to be sad about. Besides, they’ve been self-destructing up to now, it’s becoming hard to endure... At times like this, switching phases isn’t abnormal?

William probably wouldn’t be that cruel, insisting on arranging a total wipeout ending for them?

The undead tribe quickly regained their spirit, fully armed, prepared for a decisive battle with the heavily struck God of Crocodiles.

No one cared about the clan leader pinned on the deck, forced to painfully log out.

Including ’Xiao Liuliu,’ who was running back and forth arranging the positioning of the priests on the deck.

After all, it was clear a positional warfare was about to begin... Can’t let the tanks fall.
