Feeling the power in his body that was like a huge sun, even Eli felt that this was a little unreal.
Who would have thought that in just four hundred years, he would be able to cross three stages of the radiant moon and reach the final stage of the fourth circle Mage?
âIt took at least half the time I expected. It has a lot to do with the power of faith.â Eli looked down. On his arm, only half of the diamond-shaped mark of faith was left.
This was the reason why Eli had improved so quickly over the years.
He chose to use the power of faith to increase his speed. Although it seemed like a waste, Eli still felt that he should get stronger first.
Although the power of faith was precious, there was always a way to accumulate it.
Of course, Eli couldnât use it so freely now because as he advanced to the radiant sun, he realized that the bonus of faith was much weaker.
In short, the power of faith had reached its limit for him, or it could be said that the faith of the humans on the West Coast was only enough to support Eliâs breakthrough into the radiant sun.
If he still needed to continue, he needed more faith.
âItâs almost time to leave!â No. Eli shook his head.
At this point, it wasnât that he was out of options but that the environment was slowly restricting Eli.
If he wanted to progress further, it seemed like he had to go to the central continent. At this point, he should start thinking about advancing to the fifth circle However, Eli still only had a rough idea and did not know anything in detail.
âof course, I still need a lot of preparation!â Eli shook his head. It was just a thought for now, and he would think about it later.
At this moment, a figure slowly walked over from a distance.
âHerman, I think we need to have a talk!â Viena said to Eli solemnly. Viena was the mermaid Queenâs real name.
âAlright,â Eli looked at the person in front of him and nodded.
He naturally understood what Viena was trying to say. Perhaps this fate should end.
âCall Luara along. Iâll be waiting for you at the wizard Tower.â Looking at the two of them, Eli turned around and returned to the Tower.
âAlright!â Viena bit her lip and nodded.
âŚ
Very quickly, she found Laura.
âMother, what happened?â Laura asked curiously.
âLaura, itâs time to part.â Viena sighed and said softly.
Lauraâs body trembled.
She was no longer a child, so she naturally understood some things. That was, she was part of the mermaid royal family, and she had a mission on her shoulders.
Therefore, she didnât say that she didnât accept it. She just gritted her teeth and said, âWhat time?â
âI donât know, but it wonât be long. Herman is asking us to talk to him!â
Viena did not say much and walked towards the Tower.
After pausing for a few seconds, Laura also quickly followed.
Soon, they arrived at the tower and saw eli again.
Viena was still fine when they met, but Luaraâs tears could not help but flow down, and her eyes began to turn red.
âWhy are you crying?â Smiling, Eli walked over and wiped away Lauraâs tears.
However, the tears in Laaraâs eyes still seemed to be overflowing.
Viena also felt sad when she saw this scene.
She also came to Lauraâs side and hugged her gently.
This lasted for half an hour.
The discussion that followed was uneventful, and Viena decided to leave after three years.
âŚ.
Three years was fast but also slow.
It was so fast that it would pass in the blink of an eye but so slow that Laura would come to find Eli every day.
However, when it was time to part, everyone was still caught off guard.
A few kilometers away from Mercury Island.
A large team was gathering.
Eva, Viena, Laura, and a huge team of merfolk.
After 500 years of development, the remaining merfolk now had more than 3000 members. There was another celestial merfolk besides eval.
At the very front, a few of them were bidding their final farewells.
Eli was at the front.
âThank you for your protection all these years, my Lord,â Eval said gratefully.
âHerman, youâre a good person.â Vienaâs eyes were red as she hugged Eli.
After the hug, another one hugged him.
âLaura, donât hug me so tightly!â Eli patted Lauraâs back gently.
âNo!â Laura rejected it, and Eli let her be.
After hugging him for more than ten minutes, Laura finally let go of him.
âIâll miss you, Herman.â Laura bit her lips and said, her eyes red.
âIâll miss you too. Besides, itâs not like we wonât have the chance to meet again in the future.â Eli replied.
âThen letâs make an appointment to meet again,â Laura revealed a smile.
âAlright!â
âThen weâll have to set a time.â Laura actually began to ponder seriously.
Eli, ââŚâ
Eli shook his head, then took out a piece of wood. The elements surged, and in the blink of an eye, the wood transformed into Eli. A small amount of faith was injected into it, and he handed it over to Lola.
âThis is a statue of faith. We will meet when you become the Queen of the mermaids, â Eli said.
âAlright!â Laura smiled and put away the statue.
âThis is a deal!â
âYes.â
âHmm? Herman, why doesnât this statue look like you?â Laura picked up the statue and asked.
âThat is my original appearance,â Eli replied with a smile.
Hermanâs age was almost at its limit, and it was time for him to return to his old self.
Upon hearing this, Laura and Viena were both shocked.
In the end, he had no choice but to show the two of them what he used to look like before she ended the conversation.
Very quickly, the team set off.
At the front of the group, Laura waved her hand and shouted, âEli, remember our deal!â
âYes, â Eli replied with a smile.
It was a coincidental encounter, and now it was time to part.
It was time for this 500 years of fate to end.
As for the next time they would meet, who knew?
Perhaps it was just as he had said, it would be when Laura became the Queen of the mermaids.
âŚ.
On the other side.
The huge merfolk team moved forward quickly, getting further and further away from the West Coast.
In the middle of the merfolkâs group, a giant tortoise was carrying Laura and the others. This giant tortoise was attracted to Laura when she was born. It came back later and was now willing to accept Lauraâs command. This was also Lauraâs unique ability.
âMother, where are we going next?â Laura asked.
âI donât know, but we have to go to the deep sea mermaid tribe first. There are still many of our tribesmen left there.â Viena said thoughtfully.
âAlright, letâs go to the deep sea original mermaid tribe area.â Laura decided.
The others didnât object. Although Laura wasnât the strongest, she was destined to be the Queen of the mermaids.
Everyone set off towards the deep sea.
Soon, they reached the border of the deep sea.
But suddenly, everyone felt something. They looked forward and saw that the sea in front of them had fallen into darkness.
No, that wasnât darkness. It was a huge body.
Along with the rolling sound of the waves and the terrifying roar, a huge creature slowly emerged from the water.
It was a huge octopus-like creature. The exposed part was already a hundred meters high, like a small mountain. The main body of the creature under the sea was even larger, and each of its dozens of tentacles was a few hundred meters long, and the thickness was like a giant tree that was a few hundred years old!
âYouâre finally here. Iâve been waiting for you for a long time!â
The huge octopusâs eyes looked at Laura below, letting out a bloody sound.
He had been attracted there by Lauraâs aura, but he had a faint feeling that there was danger on Mercury Island, so he had been waiting outside.
He didnât expect that he would still get what he had been waiting for.
The merfolkâs expression changed when they saw the creature that was as big as a small mountain.
âDamn it! Itâs a peak of fourth circle sea creature!â Eval was shocked.
âThe peak of four rings!â
Laura and Vienaâs expressions instantly changed.
They had just come out, was it going to end?
âMilord, you guys go first, Iâll hold him back!â At the crucial moment, eval stood up.
With a solemn expression, he rushed toward the octopus.
Bang! Bang!
The huge tentacle lashed out, and evalâs body was immediately sent flying with little resistance.
Upon seeing this scene, many merfolk felt their bodies turn cold, and even Laura was no exception.
However, just as everyone was in despair, a figure suddenly appeared in the sky.
âEli!â Lauraâs eyes lit up.
âChange direction, leave this to me!â said Eli as he looked at the huge sea creature before him and turned to Laura.
âBut âŚâ Laura hesitated.
It was true that they were delighted to see Eli, but the sea octopus before them was too strong.
At this moment, Viena walked over and pulled Laura. âLetâs go,â she said. âDonât underestimate him. He is much stronger than you think, especially against the sea race!â
As someone who had been in close contact with him, she knew how powerful Eli was.
âAlright,â she said. Hearing her motherâs words, Laura gritted her teeth and said loudly, âLeave from the right.â
The group of merfolk left, leaving the giant octopus and Eli behind.
âWho are you?â The giant octopus asked. For some reason, it felt uneasy.
Eli didnât answer and just looked at it.
After a thousand years of accumulation, its damage bonus on the sea tribe was now 150%. In addition to his own strength, he was not afraid of any sea tribe with a fourth circle.
âIt just so happens that Hydra and Nikola should be advancing soon. Youâre very suitable as a resource, and I also need a new robe.â Eli sized up the giant octopus.
Hearing these nonchalant words, the giant octopus was furious.
Dozens of tentacles attacked.
The battle started at once.
âŚ..
On the other side.
Laura and the others had only walked a few miles when they heard the sound of a battle.
The merfolk sped up, and when they were more than ten kilometers away, Laura looked at the area they had been in.
With a violent wail and a loud plea for mercy, the octopusâs huge body slowly disappeared from her sight after another attack.
