Chapter 219 219: On the Brink

Frankie, who was under attack, plummeted once more. Countless branches whipped at him, flinging him back into the air, while the patterns of light around him could no longer be maintained, falling apart instantly.At this moment, Frankie had again manifested Light Wings, trying to break through the encirclement, but it was futile. He was immediately blocked by Wangzai Little Buns, who delivered a heavy blow right on target.

For a while, Frankie was in a precarious situation as he was surrounded and attacked by the players.

Fortunately, his combat experience was extensive, allowing him to narrowly turn danger into safety at each critical moment.

However, his face showed no relief, only extreme distress.

He understood clearly that now he had no chance of escaping.

Even if no mistakes were made in battle, once his Magic Power ran out, he was doomed to die.

This intense battle, being besieged, drained him at a terrifying rate.

He could sense that, at this rate, his Magic Power would be almost depleted in a quarter of an hour at most.

The players were equally astonished by Frankie's detailed grasp of combat and the endless magic that left them amazed.

Without a doubt, Frankie's battle talent and experience were second to none.

As time passed, Frankie's Magic Power was consumed faster and faster, and his condition worsened.

The high-intensity combat and magical usage rapidly depleted his Spiritual Power, making it increasingly difficult for him to concentrate.

He took a deep breath, vaguely realizing that he might make mistakes even before his Magic Power was exhausted.

Sure enough, after enduring many breaths, Frankie's Defense Magic was shattered again.

And this time, there was a mistake in the connection of his magic, causing a delay.

This half-beat delay gave Wangzai Little Buns the chance to rush beside him and strike his back head with the hilt, knocking him unconscious.

Watching the unconscious Frankie fall, Wangzai Little Buns reached out and grabbed his neck, dragging him down to the island below like a dead dog.

Initially, Wangzai Little Buns planned to finish off Frankie directly.

However, Frankie's mistake was so significant that it allowed Wangzai Little Buns to easily knock him out due to her speed.

So, after a brief thought, Wangzai Little Buns decided to capture him alive.

She felt that capturing him alive was definitely more valuable than dead.

The reward from Mage Fang Ka would also be greater.

Seeing Wangzai Little Buns capture the unconscious Frankie, several players of the Snowgaze Race quickly approached, immediately complimenting Wangzai Little Buns.

"Sister Mantou, amazing! Capturing the boss alive will definitely greatly increase Mage Fang Ka's favor towards you!"

Upon hearing the player's compliment, Wangzai Little Buns couldn't help but smile.

If the player had praised something else, she might not care, but when it comes to Fang Ka, she was all ears.

She gave the player a gentle smile and then said, "Everyone's contribution to this battle is indisputable."

"Once we hand this boss over to Mage Fang Ka, I believe everyone will receive a handsome reward."

Just as Wangzai Little Buns finished speaking, a swift black shadow came flying from the distant skies.

This black shadow was none other than a Nightmare Beast.

Atop it sat four Merfolk.

Sitting at the Nightmare Beast's neck was Noel, with three female Merfolk behind her.

Indeed, they were sent by Fang Ka.

After switching to Wangzai Little Buns' view and seeing the battle start, Fang Ka arranged for Noel to lead some eloquent Merfolk out.

After instructing Noel to stop outside the archipelago and wait for the battle to end before approaching.

The plan was for the three eloquent Merfolk to negotiate with the Merfolk on the islands, conveying that as long as they obey, they could replace Frankie as their new Protector.

The players couldn't communicate with the indigenous of this world, and Aiman was not eloquent, so it was necessary.

After Noel landed nearby, Fang Ka, viewing this through Wangzai Little Buns' perspective, immediately issued a new mission to the players.

Instructing the players to assist the three Merfolk who came with Noel to stabilize the situation in the archipelago.

Although this mission's reward couldn't compare to the previous combat mission, it was still worthwhile. The players quickly gathered around the three Merfolk, eager to protect and escort them.

The three Merfolk had been informed by Fang Ka beforehand, knowing that Fang Ka's subordinates would protect them during negotiations, so they showed no odd reactions.

Then they embarked, accompanied by the players, to various islands, commencing their soothing work.

Initially, the Merfolk on the islands were terrified and despairing. Without Frankie as their Protector, dangers lurked in every corner of the Chaotic Sea Domain, and they had no idea where to flee even if they wanted to.

However, when they heard that an unknown force, having killed Frankie, had sent people to negotiate, and that the negotiators were of their kind, they quickly calmed down.

Upon hearing what was said, these island Merfolk immediately understood that the negotiating Merfolk lived under the protection of a Mage named Fang Ka.

And now Fang Ka was willing to replace Frankie as their new Protector. The most crucial point was that Fang Ka was different from Frankie.

Frankie demanded they supply Mermaids, while Fang Ka only asked them to remain obedient and follow ordinary work arrangements.

This revelation immensely excited the Merfolk on the islands as what happened today turned out not to be catastrophic, but rather a blessing.

Under the negotiation and comfort provided by these three Merfolk, the island Merfolk quickly settled down.

Some even left the islands voluntarily to look for scattered clan members in panic, planning to bring them back to live together again.

Thus, the entire Merfolk Islands were now effectively under Fang Ka's influence.

And Noel, taking steps towards Aiman, delivered Fang Ka's command: "Aiman, Mage Fang Ka has instructed me to give you a manual."

"For the time being, you'll stay on this island and work according to the requirements stated in Mage Fang Ka's manual. When completed, you can return."
