Saul had Maria grab one end of the tail while he fished for the other end like pulling noodles.
The end Maria held was the tail tip that could spew black tide. Saul had seen this tail tip several times.
But he had never seen the other end of the tail and didnât know what it would look like.
He kept fishing for nearly three minutes before finally pulling up all the tail that had been hidden on the seabed.
Somewhat unexpectedly yet reasonably, the other end was a severed cross-section.
Just like a snake tail that had been cut in half. In the center of the swollen, rotting white flesh was a gray bone. The bone protruded slightly, while the white flesh from other areas squeezed and accumulated together. Several deep wrinkles were on top, with a crack located below the bone.
This caused the tailâs cross-section to look like a twisted face with facial features squeezed together.
And when this face emerged from the sea, it actually spoke.
âLet me go. Iâll leave the Sighing Wall.â
Maria, who had been somewhat wary of Saul, immediately shouted upon hearing the familiar voice, âImpossible! Robin, you really are Robin! How did you become like this?â
Robinâs head rose up like a snake head, positioning his face level with Mariaâs. âWhy canât I live in this form? Doesnât this prove my wizard body transformation direction wasnât wrongâit just has some imperfections? Iâm perfecting it. Once I finish my research, I can return to human form!â
Saul couldnât see Robinâs vocal organs, but the voice was indeed coming from the crack below the bone.
âHave you completely mutated now?â Saul asked him.
Robin had originally wanted to mock Maria a few more times, but hearing Saulâs question and remembering those eyes he had seen underwater, the rotting flesh on his face writhed and expelled some gray mucus.
âMy body has completely mutated, but because of the black tide pollution and this gray bone in the middle, most of my soul body has been preserved.â
Maria saw that Saul was very interested in Robinâs current state and stopped interrupting.
She discovered that the black tide pollution in her body was actually slowly decreasing. After checking herself, she found that Saulâs tentacles were absorbing the pollution from her body.
Maria remembered Saulâs doctor title in the Borderland and suddenly understood. Looking at the semi-transparent gray tentacle around her waist, it no longer seemed so frightening.
Saul noticed that the black tide pollution in Mariaâs body had been mostly absorbed by him, and her soul body and magical fluctuations had stabilized. He slowly released Maria, letting her stand on the sea surface herself.

After Maria used flight magic to stabilize in mid-air, she immediately rushed to Robinâs terrifying face, âWhereâs Delen? Where did you take him?â
Maria also explained to Saul, âHe suddenly appeared just now and swept Delen into the sea. Saul, did you see him when you went down?â
âNo. After diving, I only caught up to his tail. The front end was very deep, and I didnât sense Delenâs presence.â
The second-rank wizard loyal to Maria was probably in grave danger this time. He had escaped Benjaminâs silencing attempt but still died at the hands of the same gray bone product.
Maria also had a bad feeling. She stepped forward and ignited a crimson flame, holding it in front of Robin, âWhere is Delen? If you donât tell me, Iâll roast you!â
Robinâs fold-like eyes looked at the fireball in Mariaâs hand, âI already ate him.â
âWhat?â Although Maria had already had a bad feeling when she lost trace of Delen, she still couldnât help but cry out in shock upon hearing that Robin had eaten Delen.
However, she was also a veteran of battles and quickly composed herself, asking in a different way, âHow did you eat Delen?â
Robin was silent for a moment before confessing honestly after Saul tightened his tentacles, âIn my current state, I need to supplement wizard flesh and blood to maintain myself. Although my consciousness is attached to the tail, itâs still just a tail. So I eat the meat and organs of the wizards I capture.â
âNeeding to devour wizard flesh and organs to surviveâyou must have eaten more than one wizard by now, right?â Saul asked Maria again, âHave any other wizards gone missing at the Sighing Wall recently?â
âCurrently, the information weâve received only mentions Lawrence and that second-rank wizard from last time.â
When Maria mentioned Lawrenceâs name, the other long tail being watched by Little Algae in the sea suddenly writhed.

Little Algae immediately looked up and called âEee eee eeeâ to Saul.
Saul reached out and pulled the other long tail over. This tail was only about twenty meters long, much shorter than Robinâs.
He looked it up and down, then suddenly asked, âYouâre Lawrence?â
The long tail didnât speak, but its body twisted and bent, like a person embarrassed enough to curl their toes.
âItâs Lawrence?â Maria was even more shocked. âWasnât Lawrence eaten by Robin?â
Robin answered her question, âLawrence secretly transformed himself. I only discovered this after eating him. He hasnât adapted to his new body yet. I originally wanted him to lead you away, but I didnât expect him to be so uselessâŠâ
At this point, Robin realized he hadnât lasted many rounds against Saul either and quickly shut his mouth.
âSo people who underwent tailbone wizard body transformation can escape using their tails after death?â Saul touched his chin, hearing the rustling sound of finger bones rubbing against his jawbone. âThen did Delen and the second-rank wizard you ate also become tails?â
Robin shook his head, and some gray liquid fell into the sea, âSecond-rank wizards canât achieve consciousness transfer yet.â
So it seemed Delen truly had no chance.
Saul shook his head, âDying like that might be luckier than becoming a tail.â
Who knew that upon hearing Saulâs sigh, the previously obedient Robin suddenly began struggling. Although he couldnât break free from Saulâs restraint, he spoke up to refute Saul.
âWho says this isnât good? Although my current form has flaws, given time and opportunity, I can always perfect my body. Moreover, I can survive long-term in the deep sea polluted by black tide. Before eating Lawrence, I could also survive by devouring sea monsters and fish and shrimp. And what about you? When the black tide completely destroys this world, youâll only have death waiting!â
âTch.â Saulâs tentacles twisted hard, directly wringing Robinâs body into a pretzel. âBe honest.â
He actually agreed with some of Robinâs viewpoints but couldnât allow him to speak to him so arrogantly.
âI, Iâm not wrong.â Robinâs voice was clearly distorted from pain, but he remained stubborn. âIâve already seen clearly. The Sighing Wall has no meaning in existing. Having wizards die one after another for ordinary people? Ridiculous, idiotic!â
Maria bit her lips, âIs that really what you think? Donât you know that without the Sighing Wall, the entire Stat Continent would be pulled into the Abyssal Eye? Where could you run then?â
âWhy run? This world follows survival of the fittest. Those who can survive naturally should survive, and those who canât deserve to die. Look, didnât I survive?â
Robinâs rotting flesh face turned toward Saul again, âHasnât this wizard also survived in his own way?â
Saul moved his jawbone slightly, thinking,
Iâm much more elegant than you.
Robin didnât know what Saul was thinking. Seeing him remain silent, he thought it was agreement and became even more arrogant, âSo, Maria, you might as well join us. The entire worldâs continents are going to be finished anyway. Only by becoming creatures adapted to the new ocean can we survive. Because whatâs been polluted isnât the monsters in the ocean at all.â
âItâs the entire ocean!â
