Along with Antonio’s voice, the already violent surface of the sea became even more violent. Balls of pitch-black seawater evaporated, condensing into black clouds that turned into a black rain of arrows with lightning swirling around them. The rain of arrows was too dense; each arrow exuded an aura that was no weaker than a peak gold-tier weapon, causing everyone to hold their breath.
Owen’s face was filled with despair as he faced tens of millions of arrows, each comparable to a peak gold-tier item, and was made of highly toxic seawater. He could not resist it. He could not even escape, let alone withstand it.
“That is the strength of the greatest mage of the human kingdom.”
Owen smiled bitterly and closed his eyes. As the number one warrior of the sea folks, he had always been unconvinced of the elites from the land kingdom. The greatest mage in the kingdom could try to fight him underwater; they could see who would survive in the end.
Unfortunately, he had met Watson, the freak, and then Antonio. The pride in his heart had been shattered to pieces. In the face of those two people, he would only be blasted to smithereens no matter where he was.
Owen was prepared to meet his fate with the highly toxic seawater. However, the intense pain he had expected did not come. He opened his eyes. The black rain of arrows had flown over his head. It passed by him and landed on the surface of the sea thousands of meters away from him.
After bombarding the wrong place, Antonio saw that the sea’s surface beneath his feet had become much clearer. He pretended to be regretful and withdrew his hand. “As expected, when one is old, one can’t even cast spells accurately.”
Did he not cast spells accurately? That was clearly done on purpose.
Casey cursed angrily in his heart. Antonio’s magic range covered thousands of meters. Even a blind man could hit Owen if he came over, but Antonio had thrown his magic to other parts of the water dozens of meters away, so it was ridiculous not to explain it on purpose.
“What kind of kingdom’s greatest mage is that? Why is he like my father?”
Cassie cursed in his heart again.
His father, Daniel, was a protective person. No matter what trouble he caused outside, his father always had a way to clean up his mess. Previously, his father had hired people to suppress some of the women he had harmed. Watson had also caused trouble for the Ptolemy family, and his father had personally led some people to help him settle it.
In his eyes, Antonio’s actions were the same as Daniel’s. Watson had plotted against the Ptolemy family; Antonio knew about it but did not say a word. It was very likely that Watson was involved with the sea folks; Antonio simply found an excuse to release Owen in front of everyone.
“Since your eyesight is not suitable to use magic, Master Antonio, you can stay here and protect everyone! Leave the rest to me. You can still protect us, right?”
Daniel was also outraged, but he still showed an amiable expression and asked Antonio politely.
Antonio grabbed his walking stick and narrowed his eyes. “It’s not difficult for me to put up a protective shield. Don’t worry.” As he spoke, Antonio raised his hand and released a protective shield that covered Owen’s body. It instantly broke through the dark sea surface that had become much fainter and disappeared into the seabed.
Many guards on the ship wanted to say something, but they did not dare to say anything. They did not think as much as Daniel. In their eyes, Antonio might have really lost his mind. He could even place a protective shield on the enemy, which worried them about their own safety. However, given Antonio’s identity, they could only endure.
Only a small number of people could see Antonio’s real intention and fell into deep thought for a moment.
“With Master Antonio’s help, the sea tribes in that sea area should not appear for the time being! ”
“Let’s go back, Mike. From tomorrow onward, you have to come here every day to spray poison until those sea folks can’t bear it, and they’d have to go ashore. Oh, right, since Master Antonio’s eyes are not very sharp, when I return to the mansion, I will invite the best healer in the city for you, Master Antonio. I guarantee that your eyes will be cured.”
He glared at the sea, which was gradually returning to normal. Then, Daniel said something and signaled the fleet to return.
Antonio heard his words and did not seem to understand what he meant. He just looked up at the sky leisurely and hummed a song.
….
Underwater, the Sea God Palace.
“Owen, you have to hold on! I have ordered the healers to come here. They will help you.”
Poseidon held Owen’s hand with a worried look on her face. Her beautiful eyebrows were tightly locked together.
Owen lay on the coral bed in Poseidon’s room in the Sea God Palace. The Coral Bed was covered with glowing ribbons. They were gently pressed onto Owen’s wounds to prevent them from bleeding.
“Don’t worry about me, Poseidon. I—” He coughed.
Owen’s pale face forced a smile. He wanted to say something, but suddenly he sat up and coughed violently before he vomited two large mouthfuls of blood that scattered into the surrounding seawater.
“Owen!”
Poseidon quickly supported Owen’s body. Her face was on the verge of crying.
“It’s okay, Poseidon. If I die, you can bury my body here and then relocate with everyone else! Relocate to a deeper part of the ocean to find a tribe that can accept us. As long as we are far away from the humans, we will not be in danger, even though that will disappoint Alice! I have two regrets in my life. One is Alice, and the other is you. My only wish is to hear you say that you love me before I die.
Owen raised his hand to touch Poseidon’s face. Before he could touch it, his palm drooped weakly.
He had suffered two serious injuries. One was when he was fighting Watson. He was hit by the Invincible Fist. Even though it was a simple technique, the indomitable will in the Invincible Fist made his blood boil. The second time was when he was fighting Antonio. The man had paused time and crushed his platinum-tier secret skill, causing him to suffer a severe backlash.
The combination of the two types of injuries caused him to be on the verge of death.
“Owen, you did not let me down. I’m the one who should say sorry! I love you. I’ve loved you for a long time.”
Poseidon grabbed Owen’s fingers and pressed them against her face as she cried.
She and Owen were childhood friends. She knew that Owen had liked her since she was young, but it was a pity that she had fallen for another person. Her husband had been killed in the previous confrontation with the humans, and Owen had been by her side all those years. He had treated Alice as his own child and made up for her missing fatherly love. Owen was about to leave, and she could not hold it in anymore. She did not know how Alice would react if she knew about that.
“Uncle Owen! I heard that Uncle Owen is injured! Where is he? Let me see him quickly.”
Just as she was worried, Alice’s voice suddenly came from outside. Then, Alice rushed into the room and saw Owen lying in Poseidon’s arms on the verge of death. Alice rushed forward and hugged Owen’s neck tightly. Tears slid down the corner of her eyes and disappeared into the surrounding seawater.
“Uncle Owen, what happened? Don’t leave me, don’t die. I won’t let you die.”
“Alice, I know how you feel, but your uncle Owen is not dead. If you continue to press on him, he might die.”
Watson had also followed Alice into the room and glanced at Owen.
“What? Is Owen really dead? But he just—”
Poseidon was stunned. She wanted to say that Owen’s palm had fallen when he was in the middle of speaking. Was that not a sign of death?
Ahem.
Before she could figure it out, Owen coughed and opened his eyes. He glared at Watson. It was apparent that Owen had not died. He had only pretended to be dead to listen to the truth about his beloved.
Watson ignored Owen’s angry stare. On the contrary, Alice was very excited. She let go of the hand wrapped around Owen’s neck and smiled through her tears. “So Uncle Owen is fine. That’s great.”
“I can’t say that he’s fine. He’s fine now, but he’ll die later,” Watson added.
“What?”
Alice walked up to Watson worriedly. She reached out and tugged at the corner of his shirt. She pleaded with him. “Brother Watson, please save my uncle. Even though Uncle Owen has caused you a lot of trouble previously, I hope you won’t mind and can help heal him! If you can cure Uncle Owen, I’m willing to do anything you want me to do.”
That ignited Owen’s anger. “What do you mean I’ve caused a lot of trouble? Alice, whose side are you on? Watson, you annoying brat, there’s nothing for you to do here. Go wherever you want to go. One moment you’re saying that I’m not dead; the next moment, you’re saying that I’m not going to live for long. Do you think you’re some kind of godly doctor? We have specialized healers. We don’t need a human like you to tell us what to do.”
Watson shrugged in response to Owen’s words. He had wanted to help Owen for Alice. However, after seeing Owen’s firm request, he decided to wait for the sea folks’ healers to arrive. He also wanted to see how good they were.
After waiting for a few minutes, the healers arrived. The leader was a beautiful woman in a white robe with eight octopus tentacles on the lower half of her body. Her expression was somewhat gloomy. Her black curly hair floated in the seawater. She held the root of a seaweed that was as thin as a toothpick in her mouth.
That beautiful lady exuded a powerful aura that was equivalent to that of a platinum-tier elite. She was the sea tribe’s third platinum-tier elite—Jana, known as the Sea Holy Priest.. She was also the most outstanding healer in the entire sea tribe.
