Synthetic Wizard - Chapter 358 - 218: The Abandoned Siren Sea Demon

The strong wind blew, stirring up waves on the sea surface.

In the vast ocean, there was an area of particularly deep-colored sea, like a sapphire embedded in the ocean.

Looking down from high above, it resembled a blue eye.

The name “Azure Eye” was derived from this.

Beneath the sea surface, in an area hundreds of meters deep, lay a complex of structures built upon the coral reefs.

Hollow coral reefs were transformed into exquisite houses.

In the spaces between the reefs, low buildings made of coral, shells, seaweed, and stone were arranged in a staggered pattern.

The beautiful Siren Sea Demons sat atop the coral reefs, gently swaying their tails and singing aloud.

Although surrounded by ocean water, their voices spread clearly as if they were echoing directly in one’s mind.

In the very center of the complex, there stood a towering palace.

Amidst all the low buildings, it rose majestically, making it appear even more grand.

What was even more surprising was that, centering on the palace, the sea water within a hundred meters seemed to be pushed away by an invisible force, forming an empty area without water.

It was as if a giant bubble was floating in the deep sea.

Deep inside the palace, in the spacious hall.

The light of whale oil lamps illuminated the hall, and Aida knelt before a long table, devoutly prostrated on the ground, chanting strange syllables.

As the beautiful sound spread, strands of Starlight appeared out of nowhere, intersecting and projecting onto the tabletop, outlining the shape of a book, then the outline turned into solid form.

It was a gigantic book, floating steadily, with a pale green cover facing down, glinting with a cold metallic luster, and painted with an ivory white gardenia.

An invisible hand flipped the book, opening a page where a black whirlpool emerged at the center of the page, slowly rotating and expanding, gradually taking over the entire sheet.

Immediately, a cold female voice emanated from the whirlpool.

“Aida, it’s two months until the annual Conclave Day, why summon me early?”

Aida, fearful and trembling, bowed her head low and respectfully replied, “Honorable Mi Xia, our clan is facing an unprecedented crisis, we beg for your salvation!”

“Crisis?” The cold female voice intensified a bit, “Explain in detail.”

“Yes, Mi Xia!”

Aida hurriedly recounted the recent events.

After listening, the cold female voice remained silent for a while, then when it spoke again, there was a trace of displeasure.

“Why didn’t you mention this during the last Conclave?”

Aida confessed shamefully, “I underestimated the opponent’s strength, thinking of first dealing with the Deep Sea Naga, collecting enough Sea Hearts for your descent, and then you would lead us against those humans.”

During the last Conclave Day, Aida concealed the Siren Sea Demons’ major defeat at Coral Island to avoid Mi Xia’s reproach.

She thought that blocking those humans from building islands was impossible, so she would simply ignore them for now and focus on defeating the Deep Sea Naga first.

Just as long as Mi Xia descended successfully, dealing with those humans would be a piece of cake.

Never did she expect the opponents to be extraordinarily swift in action, forming a fleet of over a hundred colossal metal ships shortly after building three islands, heading straight for their lair.

Aida had heard her kin recounting the terrifying and formidable nature of those giant metal ships, and the ones coming toward the Azure Eye were indeed more than a hundred!

There was no way they could resist!

The only solution now was to seek Mi Xia’s assistance.

Faced with Aida’s earnest plea, the cold female voice fell into silence.

Just when Aida was growing increasingly uneasy, the cold female voice finally spoke again, and the words sent a chill through her.

“Manage your own affairs.”

As the voice faded away, the book suddenly shattered into countless rays of light, dissipating into the air.

“Mi Xia!”

Aida jerked her head up, shouting frantically.

Yet the table was already empty.

Aida promptly knelt down again, chanting more devoutly than before.

But after a long time, there was still no response.

Aida ceased chanting, sinking onto the ground, her face ashen.

The empty long table was undeniably presenting her with a harsh reality—the Siren Sea Demon clan had been abandoned by Mi Xia!

Just then, a burst of noise came from outside, snapping Aida out of her panic.

She quickly got up and headed outside, barely stepping out of the palace when she saw a clan member rushing over in panic.

“Chieftain, terrible news, those humans are attacking!”

Aida’s face turned ghostly pale.

At this moment, she deeply understood what it meant for misfortunes to never come singly.

…

On the vast sea, the strong wind billowed.

A massive fleet composed of over a hundred giant ships rode the wind and waves, sailing into the Azure Eye sea area.

“It looks quite beautiful here.”

Looking at the sapphire-like blue and beautiful sea surface, Attila couldn’t help but sigh.

But then Cole’s voice pierced the scene.

“Where are those Siren Sea Demons hiding?”

“In the Coral City over two hundred meters underwater,” Andrea pointed toward the azure sea. “The Siren Sea Demons should have noticed us by now.”

Sherman and the others were indifferent.

Such a conspicuous fleet, the Siren Sea Demons would have to be blind not to see it.

Since they hadn’t shown up by now, they probably intended to hide in the sea and put up a last-ditch resistance.

After all, the ocean was inherently their territory, difficult for humans to tread upon.

Perhaps they thought that as long as they stayed hidden in the depths, the Star Alliance would be unable to do anything to them.
