And the wizard tower⊠didnât stop Saul at all. It even automatically opened the door when he flew to the entrance, making it convenient for him to enter.
After Saul saw everything happening inside through the wizard towerâs own consciousness, he understood that the wizard tower was requesting his help.
Help with what?
Of course, to stop bad people from doing bad things!
Clearly the wizard towerâs consciousness also believed that what Benjamin was about to do was wrong! That it would harm the wizard tower or the Sighing Wall!
These wizards who had died in battle in Storm Sea over a hundred years ago were still doing their utmost to save their homeland!
After slapping Benjamin away, Saul lifted his foot and directly closed the brass boxâs lid, then stepped on it, firmly pinning the violently shaking metal box to the ground.
His body slowly leaned forward, his elbow resting on the leg stepping on the box. He curved his lips, imitating Benjaminâs twisted smile from earlier, âThis vulgar script ends here. Weâre fighting at the front lines so you can kill people at will in the rear?â
Saul half-turned his head to Delen, âYou, go invite both Maria and Wizard Murphy over. You should have some emergency distress signal, right?â
Delen nodded and quickly ran up the stairs.
Benjamin cast magic trying to stop Delen, âBlade Hell!â
Instantly, countless sharp weapons appeared in the airâneedles, swords, knives, awlsâŠ
These weapons emanated strong metallic elemental aura, and even the magical fluctuations they emitted were like blades, directly cutting small wounds on Saulâs tentacles.
Then these weapons split in twoâa small portion chased after Delen while the majority rushed toward Saul like a violent storm.

Saul didnât move. A large number of Soul Blades immediately appeared before him, instantly shattering all the metal swords attacking him, some even embedding directly into the wall behind.
Benjamin raised a protective barrier, barely deflecting the weakened Soul Blades, but the four second-rank wizards behind him suffered terriblyâalmost all were turned into pincushions. If Saul hadnât wanted to keep them alive for questioning, these people would probably have died under Saulâs blades in just one exchange.

Saul also intercepted most of the weapons attacking Delen, with the remainder being dodged by Delen himself.
Seeing Delen about to escape the wizard tower, Benjamin immediately became anxious. His hand suddenly plunged into the floor.
However, when he raised his head, he was shocked to see Saul teleport in front of him, and then his face was covered by countless tentacles.
Benjamin felt it was very shameful to be trapped by a fellow third-rank wizard. He had been holding back earlier, but now it seemed that even if he made a big commotion, he had to subdue Saul first.
But just as Benjamin was about to make another move, he suddenly felt the tentacles restraining him split open hundreds of mouths internally. Then sharp teeth bit into his skin, ears, nose, and even bit through his eyelids, piercing into his eyeballs.
Benjaminâs movements suddenly stopped.
It wasnât that Saulâs attack had caused him any injuries, but he suddenly discovered that those tiny teeth biting him seemed to contain something terrifying.
He had the illusion that he wasnât being entangled by tentacles, but being bitten by hundreds of venomous snakes on every inch of his skin.
The venomous fangs had already pierced his skin, just waiting for the venom glands to secrete.
But what was hidden in the tentaclesâ mouths wasnât snake venom glands!
Benjamin had also fought at the Sighing Wall for decadesâthat aura emanating from the tentaclesâ mouths was all too familiar.
It was the aura of black tide pollution!
Rich, dark, twisted, carrying rampant pollution power.
The more familiar a wizard was with the black tide, the more they understood its danger. So the moment Benjamin sensed this aura, he stopped moving, even withdrawing the hand he had extended underground.
The other second-rank wizards didnât know what was happening to Benjamin. They had been severely injured by Saul and were lying on the ground. Seeing Benjamin being entangled by Saulâs tentacles but not struggling, just sitting there obediently as if his soul and consciousness had been absorbed by Saul.
The several people were terrified.
Saul had actually controlled the powerful third-rank wizard Benjamin in just two exchanges. And they couldnât understand at all how Saul had done it.
This point was more panic-inducing than Saul easily defeating Benjamin.
âNot moving anymore?â Saul saw the wizard in front of him finally behave, and used one tentacle to lift open the brass box.
Strangely enough, the gray tailbones that had been jumping around lively in Benjaminâs hands were very well-behaved in front of Saul.
They stayed obediently in the box, with not one wanting to jump out.
When Saul had seen the gray tails in the box through the wizard tower earlier, he had been very curious about them. Now he could finally hold them and examine them properly.
He looked down and took one tailbone from the box, then closed the box again and continued sitting on the brass box.
The gray bone lay quietly in Saulâs hand. Saul looked down at it twice, then took out another piece of gray bone from his storage device.
âThese two things seem to be the same type.â Saul placed the gray bone fragment and tailbone together.
The originally motionless tailbone suddenly âsnappedâ and struck, directly breaking the gray bone fragment in half. As it was about to continue attacking the gray bone fragment, Saul suddenly clenched his fist tightly.
When he opened it again, both the gray bone fragment in his palm and the previously lively tailbone had become small pieces.
Now they were almost indistinguishable from each other.
Saulâs mental power swept over and discovered something among the fragments. Then he extended a tentacle from Benjaminâs body, transforming it back into a human arm.
The diary appeared in his palm and instantly extracted a strand of white soul fragment from the gray bone pieces.
âSo the tailbones were hiding incomplete souls.â Saul had seen through the tailbonesâ secret. He raised his hand to look at the four second-rank wizards across from him who were silent as cicadas in winter, âSo, you were imitating black tide monsters and created new monsters?â
The second-rank wizard facing Saul directly was questioned until his whole body felt cold. He wasnât clear about Saulâs attitude toward their experiments. If he answered poorly, he might be killed to vent anger.
After all, there were 5 prisoners here!
But if he didnât speak, he would become a useless prisoner.
âWe just wanted to try whether we could transform people into structures similar to black tide monsters, thereby adapting to black tide pollution.â
âSo you killed monsters while also killing people?â Saul rotated his wrist, letting the gray bone fragments in his palm gradually fall.
âThatâs not it.â
âItâs not like that, Saul.â
Saul turned his head and saw Maria leading Delen appearing on the steps together.
A shadow covered the upper half of her face, with only her red lips exposed under the light.
Maria descended another step, finally standing completely in the light.
She stared at Saul, her face showing some embarrassment, but more sorrow.
âI once told you that wizards fighting at the Sighing Wall would collect gray bone fragments whenever possible, for researching the weaknesses of black tide pollution and black tide monsters.â
âYou also told me that someone once used gray bones for wizard body transformation and ultimately died from poor adaptation.â
âYes, but on this point, I concealed something from you.â
A book about ten centimeters thick appeared in Mariaâs hand. The book was very specialâeach page was a bronze-colored metal sheet, fixed together with copper wire through drilled holes. Only the outside was a leather cover.
After taking out the metal book, Maria somewhat reluctantly touched the cover, then raised her hand and threw it directly to Saul.
âIn fact, the wizard who underwent gray bone transformation didnât die completely. After leaving this book behind, I severely wounded himâhe didnât even have a head left, and his remains finally fell into the sea.â
âAnd we couldnât resist the temptation. We opened the book he left behind, and now, weâve actually walked down his old path.â
