While Saul continued to study the soul-fixing magic circle, the Wall of Sighs and the Red Sea once again welcomed the black tide.
However, this time, anchor point monsters appeared in the Red Sea and directly devoured three high-rank wizards.
To prevent the anchor pointâs powerful pollution from spreading, Black Flame Emperor Elo urgently contacted Saul, then released the imprisoned Frim.
The two worked togetherâone to stop the anchor point, one to protect Midoâpersisting for a day and night until Saul arrived and immediately subdued the anchor point monster.
When Saul was third-rank, he had no way to deal with anchor point monsters, but at fourth-rank he could already seal the anchor point monsterâs pollution and collect it into his own space.
Only Frim, who had fought the anchor point monster at close range, saw Saulâs action this time.
He had originally had some thoughts after being released, but seeing Saul efficiently take away the anchor point monster he had never seen before, he immediately realized that the current Saul had completely surpassed him.
âIt was right to entrust it to you.â Frim was referring to the golden thread he had given to Saul.
But he didnât know that it had originally been a golden page belonging to the diary. Itâs just that for some reason, this pageâs power was somewhat stronger than other golden pages.
With the anchor point monster taken away by Saul, the black tide immediately receded.
Frim floated in the air somewhat awkwardly.
He had been temporarily released by the Tribunal to protect the Red Sea. Now that the black tide had receded so quickly, would Saul put him back in the Maze Corridor?
Just as Frim was secretly considering whether to flee first, Saul spoke.
âChief Frim doesnât want to study me anymore, does he?â
Frim looked at Saul, seeing the smile on his face, and felt a chill down his back.
The Chief who had been proud all his life slowly lowered his head. He knew this was Saul asking for a promise, and also for an attitude.
âNow youâre the main force against the black tide. If you need me to do anything, you can tell me anytime.â
This was tantamount to submission.
To ask Frim to lower himself further would be too much for him. This satisfied Saul.
Saul returned to shore, and Elo also emerged from the defensive array.
Seeing Frim following behind Saul, his emotions were incredibly complex.
To divert attention and avoid mutual awkwardness, Elo immediately discussed business with Saul.
âThis is our first time encountering an anchor point monster, but I heard the Sighing Wall has encountered one before?â
Saul nodded, âAt that time, it was also my first encounter with an anchor point monster, even more powerful than the anchor points we obtained in the Borderland. Most importantly, it actively attacks people and selects targets.â
Both Elo and Frim frowned.
One anchor point monster had directly occupied the energy of two fourth-rank wizards. If there were more anchor point monstersâŚ
Could they slice Saul up?
Saul took out a metal nameplate inscribed with his newly designed Soul-Fixing magical array.
âThis is a magical array Iâve been researching recently. It can provide wizards with more protection under black tide pollution. If you can continue improving the array above, we can continue sharing information and resources. If anything comes up, you can communicate with me through Mido.â
âSo you can directly communicate with Mido.â Royer, standing far away, muttered internally.
He knew Saul wouldnât simply hand over such a unique method of controlling Red Sea Trees as Mido. But they had no better choice at the time.
Elo and Frim took the magical array. With just one glance, they realized how important this array was.
Seeing that the Tribunal side had no problems, Saul immediately left without meeting anyone else.
Afterward, Saul also made a trip to the Sighing Wall.
Those who had been trapped here by Wizard Murphy had grown accustomed to life here.
Thanks to Saulâs help, these people werenât completely trapped in Far North Cityâthey could leave, but because their lives were connected to the Sighing Wall, whenever black tides occurred, they still had to return to fight together.
Saul also left Soul-Fixing magical arrays here, having Maria and several high-rank wizards jointly research and deploy them.
However, these magical arrays were basically purely defensive, too passive. In Saulâs view, to resist the black tide eruption in a few years, they still needed to rely on red worms for active offense, and find ways to completely cut off the Abyssal Eyeâs hope of resurrection.
He not only delivered magical arrays to the main forces fighting the black tide, but also didnât neglect some inland countries and wizard factions.
The Stargate Council was responsible for promotion on Iskaper Continent, while the Tribunal handled Nephret.
As for Stat Continent, Saul had wizards who had already submitted to the Purity Wizard Tower spread the word everywhere.
The current Borderland was no longer a forbidden zone. Soul-Fixing magical arrays were first deployed in various dangerous areas, making many places even safer than the outside world.
The wizards here naturally no longer needed to be stationed long-term in settlements and could move around freely.
So Saul sent them out to various countries on Stat Continent to deploy Soul-Fixing magical arrays.
Of course, the raw materials for these arrays still needed to be prepared by local forces. Otherwise, no matter how wealthy and powerful Saul was, he couldnât cover an entire continent.
His faction had only been established for a few years after all, and he had never seriously managed it. The factionâs scope and strength naturally couldnât compare to the other two major forces.
By the time wizard factions across all three continents were enthusiastically constructing defensive facilities according to Saulâs Soul-Fixing magical arrays, Saul had quietly returned to the Purity Wizard Tower and entered the Chaos Realm again.
This time, he planned to directly find anchor points in the Chaos Realm for experiments.
The anchor point monster that Saul had sealed into his personal space at the Red Sea had actually merged with the original anchor point fragment inside while Saul wasnât paying attention.
When Saul discovered the anchor point was missing, he immediately examined the motionless sea snake-shaped anchor point monster that was playing dead.
Then he discovered that the sea snake had grown a horn.
He immediately informed everyone about this through the Prismatic Channel.
Mido: [The Tribunal wizards told me that the anchor points in their collection have never shown signs of fusion.]
Gorsa: [The anchor points on the Stargate Council side have basically been divided multiple times. But even when put back together, there are no signs of fusion.]
âThe problem should lie with the anchor point monsters that have aggressive consciousness.â Saul was very cautious, âIf itâs just simple fusion, thatâs not a big problem. Iâm just worried about whether there might be qualitative changes when they fuse to a certain quantity.â
Gorsa: [Are you thinking of going to the abyss?]
Saul thought of his prophetic dream and felt uneasy. He didnât want to fail in the end because he overlooked a detail.
He didnât want to helplessly watch all three continents ultimately become sacrifices for the abyssâs resurrection.
âYes. I plan to⌠truly make a trip into the abyss.â Saul mustered the courage to say this.
ÉŞę° Ęá´á´ á´Ąá´É´á´ á´á´ Ęá´á´á´ á´á´Ęá´ á´Ęá´á´á´á´Ęs, á´Ęá´á´sá´ á´ ÉŞsÉŞá´ đŁđ¤đŤđđĄâđŁđŚđŻđ˘âđŻđŚđľ
This was a very dangerous decision. Saul planned to transform into his fate line main body form and completely enter the abyss beneath the Great Fissure to truly explore that world.
After waiting a moment, the Dead Wizardâs Diary unexpectedly issued no death warning whatsoever.
Not even a crisis warning.
