Outside the sunlight of Dawn-1, the light of the God of Light disappeared, but the darkness did not return.
There was no light or darkness in the sky of Earthsea, only something like gray nothingness.
But if you insist on saying it is gray, it doesn't quite look like gray. That translucent, hazy feeling makes me feel like there is something there.
"How could this happen...what is going on?" Charles looked at everything in front of him in shock.
Before he could figure out if this was a sign of returning to darkness.
"Boom~!" With a deafening sound, the dark tower in the distance crashed heavily onto the greenhouse.
Immediately afterwards, accompanied by violent shaking, the shed on Hope Island began to produce a chain reaction, constantly collapsing and caving inward, with constant cries and screams from below.
Just as Charles was about to go over to stop it, his excellent eyesight saw something appear on the sea in the distance. Something that would never have come near the sea before.
Looking at those wriggling tentacles, weird bodies, and organs beyond human imagination, Charles immediately understood the identities of these things. These were monsters in the sea.
The monsters ranged from half the height of a human to several dozen meters tall. They surged toward the dock following the tsunami caused by the earthquake.
Charles' heart tightened when he saw this scene. These things were much more dangerous than the collapsed houses. He quickly turned over and said to Anna under the shed: "There are enemy attacks all around the island! Sound the enemy attack alarm immediately!!"
After explaining, Charles quickly ran on the collapsed shed, and the bandage lived next to the dock!
When Charles saw those hideous monsters opening their horrifying mouths to devour their islanders, he rushed forward.
"Buzz~" A six-legged monster covered with green hair was cut directly in half by Charles' chainsaw.
He didn't even bother to wipe the green blood dripping on his face. Transparent tentacles with white electric arcs stretched out from Charles' body and waved violently in all directions. With Charles as the center, the monsters around him fell down in a large number.
Charles at this time was completely different from before. He was not at a disadvantage at all when facing these monsters in the water alone.
As he attacked frantically, the corpses in front of him piled up rapidly, to the point where he was almost completely buried.
These monsters were intelligent. Seeing that Charles was so difficult to deal with, they immediately changed direction and surrounded Charles.
"Swish~" A ball of black liquid similar to hot oil rushed over from the side. Charles didn't dodge in time and was drenched all over. His skin felt a strong burning sensation and thick white smoke floated from his body.
As soon as Charles wiped the liquid off his face with his hand, the monsters took the opportunity to swarm over him.
Just when Charles was about to be unable to hold on, there was a loud bang, and the monster in front of him was blown into a large open space, with corpse parts and flesh splattered everywhere.
Charles, covered in blood, turned his head and saw the front gun of the dock watchtower. The naval counterattack of Hope Island had begun!
At first there were only one or two gunshots, but gradually they became more and more frequent. Facing these horrifying monsters, human weapons began to take the lead.
Bombs were bombarding the outskirts of Hope Island like crazy, and the monsters were rushing towards the island as if they were risking their lives. The entire dock was completely destroyed.
But in the end, humans won. This sudden war lasted for more than four hours and finally stopped. No more sea monsters came ashore.
"Charles, I think something is wrong. I'm afraid this matter is not over yet. The earthquakes and the attacks of these things are very abnormal." Anna said with a frown.
Charles looked up tiredly at the gray sky, then raised his right foot and stomped it hard, causing a huge, deformed monster head to explode. "Fuck! Nothing good ever happens in this shitty place!"
After venting a little, Charles stood up and walked towards the Governor's Mansion. "Anna, you are responsible for rescuing and protecting the others from the next attack. I will go to the telegraph office to see what the situation is on other islands. I want to see if this disaster is only affecting Hope Island, or if the entire Earth Sea is under attack."
In the Hope Island Telegraph Office, as the sound of telegraphs continued to ring out, various situations in the sea were sent over. The good news was that the tsunami caused by the earthquake would only have such an impact in the North Sea.
But the bad news was that all the islands in the sea were attacked by sea monsters. There was not much to say in the telegram, but just a few sentences were enough for Charles to guess the tragic situation on various islands.
It has only been a year since the death ray attack, and most islands have not recovered from the disaster. The sudden encounter has once again made the human world even worse.
Some of the islands could not be contacted at all. It was unknown whether they were too busy dealing with the sea monster to send telegrams or if they had suffered a worse end.
Just as Charles' heart was sinking as he read the telegrams sent from various islands, Julio, the governor of Cat Island, sent over a long string of telegram codes.
As the staff quickly analyzed it, they found that this was a magic circle. This was not Futan's sacrificial magic circle. Its shape was more like the magic circle of the mages in the Western Sea.
Charles knew that the other party would not do anything useless in such a critical moment, so he immediately asked someone to start drawing according to the telegram.
As mentioned above, the magic circle should be filled with fine sand at the end, and Charles did the same.
Not long after, the magic circle began to emit purple light, and the sand above it began to shake and float, and eventually formed two sand shadows.
One is Julio, and the other is an old man with a beard that almost reaches the ground. He is Hahod, the patriarch of the Woz family in the Western Sea. He is the representative of the strongest family in the Western Sea.
"What? Didn't the people from the Futan sect come? They shouldn't be affected by the sea monster, right?" The old wizard Hahod spoke first.
Before Charles and Julio could respond, the old man said again: "You two, this communication array is very expensive, 100,000 echoes per minute. After the meeting, please remember to transfer the money through the Bank of England."
"Enough!" Julio's low voice suddenly exploded in the room like a muffled thunder.
"In a crisis like this, is this all you can say?!"
Looking at Julio's almost cannibalistic gaze beside him, Hahod stopped talking.
Charles looked at the two people in front of him, thought for a few seconds, and then said to them: "Do you have any clues about the sea monster attack?"
Julio stared at Charles with a hawk-like gaze. "I should be asking you this! You were right beside me when the God of Light saved us. Now that the God of Light's light has disappeared, there have been such big changes. What's going on?"
