Chapter 735 405: Rotting Rats and Festering Flies, The Tide of the Mother Goddess (Double-Length Chapter)

Rogel's main body was not idle while heading to the Dragon Village; it used the contact left at the Eternal Burning Furnace to reach Him.

On the mirror surface constituted by the Black Tide, the tall and brawny divine body of the Eternal Burning Furnace reappeared.

Rogel didn't waste time on pleasantries and went straight to the point: "Eternal Burning Furnace, I will ascend to the Divine Tier soon. If possible, I hope you can come to the Sea of Confession."

This was a top-tier Demigod, and recognizing Rogel's strength meant he was naturally a great ally to pull in.

"I understand."

The Eternal Burning Furnace replied in a deep voice.

After receiving His answer, Rogel cut off the connection and focused on warp traveling, swiftly heading toward the Dragon Village.

But soon, during the warp, he suddenly furrowed his brow.

"...As expected."

Rogel squinted, as if he had anticipated something all along.

...

Calamity Sea Area border.

Fetid and decaying seawater was covered by a thick layer of rotting liquid, with maggots and flies moving through the grease.

As this nauseating water surged, it brought wave after wave of grotesque, terrifying corrupted monsters, relentlessly battering the black walls.

Before the Black Tide Fortress, numerous Skeleton Warriors burned with fierce Soul Fire in their eyes, holding shields in one hand and swords in the other, fearlessly forming a defensive line, blocking wave after wave of corrupted monster charges.

Their bodies were splattered with chunks of decaying corpses, yet this didn't affect them at all.

In front of the Black Tide Fortress.

The Skeleton Generals had already revealed their strongest form, with massive bodies wielding greatswords, roaring and cleaving down one corrupted monster after another, seemingly untiring.

"Roar—"

The pitch-black Skeleton Giant Dragon soared above the boundary walls, belching hot fiery breath, scorching those below.

The Skeleton Generals and Skeleton Giant Dragon had already decimated the majority of the corrupted monsters.

The remaining stragglers were then dealt with by the other Skeleton Soldiers.

Boom—

The sea surface ahead suddenly erupted into a gigantic, foul-smelling wave.

A massive composite monster made of rotting corpses twisted its body, each movement causing the entire Calamity Sea Area to quake.

It emitted a viscous, terrifying roar, lunging at a Skeleton General, attempting to swallow it and turn it into part of itself.

Swish!

Faced with this situation, the Skeleton General's Soul Flame burned even more intensely, raising a hand to morph the black tide into tentacles wrapping toward it, while the other hand lifted the greatsword, engulfed in blazing black flames.

Accompanied by a stroke of black light.

With a slash, the gigantic serpent-like decayed composite monster was instantly obliterated, its body collapsing with a rumble, falling into the sea, stirring up waves.

After resolving this threat.

The Skeleton General continued to clear the surrounding monsters.

Ever since fissures appeared in the sky.

The Black Tide Fortress faced increasing numbers of filthy monsters.

As time passed, the frenzied monsters in the Calamity Sea Area attempting to break through the Black Tide Fortress grew exponentially, assaulting madly.

Initially, the Black Tide Fortress managed to handle it effortlessly.

By now, however, signs of fatigue appeared in the Black Tide Fortress.

Of course, the Skeleton Generals and soldiers were tireless, as long as the power of the Black Tide supported them, they could keep holding on.

But as monster numbers increased, some eventually bypassed obstacles and crossed the Black Tide Fortress, heading into the rear boundary fog...

Until this moment.

The sky suddenly collapsed.

Originally dark red Sea of Calamity now turned even more hellish.

The few decorative fire pits on top of the Black Tide Fortress now served as illumination, flickering amidst waves of filth, reflecting the grotesque, twisted madness of the corrupted monsters...

Splutter... Swoosh...

At the back of the Calamity Sea Area, from the source of filth, some eerie sound seemed to emerge.

As if something had suddenly pierced the flesh wall, then thick liquid began to gush out of the breach...

The Skeleton General didn't know what it was.

They didn't care, either.

They continued to swing their greatsword, shattering monsters.

The Lord's command to them was singular.

Guard this place!

Only when the Soul Fire extinguished would they cease executing this command.

Suddenly, from afar came a peculiar and ethereal whistle.

"Hehehe... Interesting..."

From the darkness, sharp laughter echoed.

"You've obstructed the master's path."

"Apologies, little black bones."

Swoosh—

With the strange words concluded.

Almost instantly, a faint yellow ripple carrying a strong aura of decay surged from the darkness.

The attack was swift, massively affecting the area.

Whether it was the Skeleton Generals or the Skeleton Giant Dragon in the sky, none could evade this attack.

It naturally included the Black Tide Fortress and the Skeleton Soldiers upon it.

In the next instant, a mutation erupted.

Whether it was the Skeleton General or the Skeleton Giant Dragon, the Soul Flame in their eye sockets extinguished instantly. Then, on their originally smooth skeletons, pack after pack of flesh blisters bubbled out, erupting, spreading rotten, pungent flesh, contaminating other areas.

The Black Tide Fortress similarly succumbed to corruption, as its once solid walls now turned into fleshy walls, emitting a vile stench.

Boom!

Massive decayed skeletons bore hollow eyes, resembling rotted bodies scrubbed with wire brushes, grotesque to the extreme.

Beside it, the Skeleton Giant Dragon had also become a corrupted bone dragon, joining the ranks of the corrupted army.
