Chapter 57 City on the Water

When Glorfindel was struck by that tentacle, the feeling was unforgettable, like falling out of a tree as a child and smashing face-first into a rock!

The blow plunged him into darkness, his vision swimming with gold stars, and he nearly lost consciousness in the intense pain. However, Glorfindel's will was strong, and he immediately rallied his spirits to unleash his signature move: the Dawn Cross Slash!

His entire being vanished for a moment, only to reappear before the monstrous, thick tentacle, delivering a fierce, intersecting strike! The terrifying X-shaped trajectory reappeared in the air.

Glorfindel's Dawn Cross Slash harnessed the power of spacetime, effectively isolating the area he slashed into another dimension! It was naturally unstoppable and invincible.

However! The master of this thick, black tentacle was a formidable creature capable of traversing different planes of existence with unparalleled physical power. The brief spatial rifts created by Glorfindel were nothing to it, and even the terrifying vortices between dimensions couldn't harm it!

In that instant, all the elves were shocked. They had witnessed the Dawn Cross Slash's light bloom from nothing to full power, then vanish, completely passing through the tentacle, which remained standing contemptuously in the air, mocking Glorfindel like an indestructible wall!

A look of incredulous madness appeared in Glorfindel's eyes. He roared and his figure flickered repeatedly, transforming three times in succession, unleashing three consecutive Dawn Cross Slashes! All of them struck the tentacle with tremendous force.

This was Glorfindel's most powerful attack.

But it was still useless. It seemed that even ten, a hundred, or a thousand more Cross Slashes would be futile.

Glorfindel's heart sank deeply in that instant.

He suddenly realized the source of his unease: the awe-inspiring creature before him, as unfathomable as the deep sea!

He also realized how unwise it was to fight such a powerful creature in the water.

Throughout Glorfindel's long life, he had faced many situations more dangerous than this. He no longer cared about saving face; instead, he resorted to his greatest skill:

Escape.

Just as he had appeared before, Glorfindel, the powerful Dawn Elf, vanished into the air again. The others on the water fortress took another deep breath, hoping he would pull another trick from his sleeve. However, when his figure reappeared, he was already at least five hundred meters away, looking like a defeated dog!

"Lord Glorfindel actually... ran away?" A young elf girl stammered in disbelief.

This sentence was originally a quiet whisper, but it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, creating a wave of gasps among all the elves!

Even more terrifying was that, as Glorfindel disappeared into the air without looking back, the dark green tentacle moved again, stabbing directly forward!

Immediately, it became apparent that this tentacle was vanishing into the air in an eerie manner, just like Glorfindel. Clearly, the master of this tentacle had a mastery of spatial power that was in no way inferior to Glorfindel's.

Many elves held their breath at that moment, because they now realized that although the Sailor, whom Mu Ge-daren (respected adult) protected, was not strong, the behemoth lurking beneath the water was a hundred times more powerful than they had imagined!

Faced with such terrifying power, any scheme or selfish thought would be completely crushed!

The thick, dark green tentacle shot out swiftly, but retracted slowly. The terrifying, basin-sized suckers on the tentacle wriggled madly, resisting and even absorbing the law-power that spilled out wildly after the space was torn apart. Finally, the tentacle was fully retracted, its end curled into a coil.

In the center of the curled tentacle was Glorfindel, the Dawn Elf, his face filled with disbelief and a desperate roar! His signature golden hair was wet and stuck unappealingly to his forehead, making him look less radiant. He seemed defeated, decadent, and deranged.

At this moment, the water fortress was slowly approaching under Fang Senyan's command.

Fang Senyan's goal was to let all the elves see up close how the once-supreme Glorfindel was caught in the hands of his side's guardian beast, unable to move like a dead dog.

In this situation, there was no doubt that the image of the giant octopus Haichemga and Brother Paul as "Guardian Beasts" was established, but Glorfindel's status and image among these elves plummeted! This was a classic example of climbing to the top by stepping on others!

Clearly, Glorfindel was humiliated and wanted to die. He began to struggle futilely, roaring madly, and pouring out all kinds of vicious words and curses on Mu Ge.

Mu Ge-meizi (Mu Ge, little sister) was innocent and carefree, and didn't care about these things. However, Fang Senyan's expression darkened, and he sneered:

"Mr. Glorfindel, I remember clearly that you threatened to hang me from a tree. I was magnanimous and didn't hold it against you. But now, you are using these vicious words to blaspheme Mu Ge Rizhuzhe (Sun Chaser). Although she can forgive you, I, as her guardian, do not have such patience!"

As Fang Senyan said this, he gestured downward. Immediately, Brother Paul's terrifying, dark green tentacle tightened! Glorfindel's screams were choked off, and he felt the air in his chest completely blocked. Even breathing became a luxury, let alone speaking. Soon, his whole body was twitching slightly due to lack of oxygen.

Even more terrifying, the suckers on Brother Paul's body were emitting a terrifying suction force, sucking away every last bit of his magic power that he was trying to gather to use a divine spell! He was denied even the chance to fight to the death!

In fact, in principle, the difference between Glorfindel and the giant Paul was not that great. However, he made a major mistake by fighting a sea creature in the water. Fighting Brother Paul in the water would directly raise Paul's rank by one level.

Moreover, as Davy Jones' summoned creature, Paul the Octopus was already very familiar with spatial magic.

Using spatial power against it was like showing off one's axe in front of Lu Ban (master carpenter), if Glorfindel had used natural divine magic against Paul, it would have had a better effect.

After Fang Senyan showed all the elves Glorfindel's embarrassing appearance, he asked Brother Paul to release him. When Glorfindel heard this in his pain, he was overjoyed. For him, as long as he got rid of this terrifying tentacle, his chances of escape would greatly increase.

However, at this moment, the waves surged, and Brother Paul emerged from the water, displaying his terrifying and powerful body in front of everyone. Then, this guy suddenly spewed out a cloud of ink, covering Glorfindel from head to toe. To outsiders, this spray seemed insignificant, but Brother Paul's ink was not something ordinary people could bear.

After being sprayed, Glorfindel immediately screamed in agony, because he felt the ink actually swim into his five senses like a living thing, completely paralyzing him. At this time, Paul's tentacle released him and threw him onto the platform of the war fortress. Glorfindel had no reaction at all, and the only thing he did was curl up on the deck and twitch.

At this time, Fang Senyan waved his hand, and naturally, several elves threw Paul's favorite peeled and cleaned fei niu (fat cattle) into the lake. Paul chewed on two or three of them with satisfaction, burped comfortably, and then coiled his tentacles and took two back to the injured Haichemga.

Since the water war fortress had achieved its purpose today, it made a large circle under the traction of the giant beast and sailed back to where it had come from. After crossing the entire lake, it came to the pine forest where Fang Senyan and Reef had stayed. Fang Senyan had discovered the Haichemga egg for the first time here, and Reef had been hypnotized by the Haichemga's gas in the narrow valley behind the pine forest and separated from Fang Senyan.

And at this time, it had completely transformed into a different scene. The original pine forest had been completely cut down, replaced by giant trees called Haisenwood that could grow in the water. These were seeds obtained from Rivendell's stock, and under the ripening of sufficient magic crystals, a magnificent water forest had formed here in less than three days.

The tall trunks of the Haisenwood were rooted in the wetland where the pine forest had been, at least five or six meters from the water surface. A large number of Haisenwood branches and parasitic vines were combined to form the second layer of the platform, and the top area of the Haisenwood was connected by various rattan ladders and vines to form a well-connected viewing platform and accommodation house.

Of course, because the Haisenwood also had ups and downs, the entire aerial city also appeared to be undulating and varied.

I had a block today, so I only updated now, I feel guilty. I deeply apologize to everyone.
