Chapter 699 - 184: The Black Tide
The unexpected turn of events in the easternmost waters hadn’t impacted the confrontation between Lu Hong and Natidak.
Lu Hong, with both hands raised upward, managed to hold up the Sea God Trident that weighed thousands of pounds. In the instant the trident was about to crash down, he activated the Steel Guardian, but alas, the peak power of the sea god’s creation was just too overwhelming. Even the Steel Guardian’s formidable defense was crushed to dust like rotten wood before a storm.
The hands that had touched the trident were already seared and blackened by the electric shock of lightning-element Divine Power. Water Element Divine Power continued to assail Lu Hong, seeking his destruction.
Meanwhile, Natidak stood atop the Sea God Trident, pressing it down inch by inch, resolute to bury Lu Hong completely.
In this standoff, Lu Hong found himself at an absolute disadvantage with virtually no hope for a turnaround.
The Eternal Sword had drained a vast amount of his Great War Master Magic Power reserves, while the recent all-out elemental strike had also significantly depleted his Steel Guardian’s Magic Power.
Now, he was even struggling to counter the Divine Power clinging to the trident, let alone launch a counterattack.
Just as Lu Hong could no longer hold on, the trident suddenly trembled fiercely and then shrank to a normal size. No longer under Natidak’s control, it shot straight into the sky and disappeared without a trace.
Staring at the direction in which the trident vanished, Natidak appeared somewhat bewildered. The trident was a symbol of the power bestowed upon him by the sea god and a sign of the sea god’s favor, but why would it be withdrawn at the crucial moment of killing this human?
If it wasn’t because the sea god was disappointed in him, it had to mean that a significant cataclysm had occurred in the sea, necessitating the god’s weapon to confront it!
While Natidak was lost in thought, Lu Hong had already burst out of the ocean’s abyss, launching an attack on him.
Deprived of the Divine Artifact, Natidak no longer held an absolute advantage over Lu Hong.
