500 Chapter500-Numerous Helpers Arrive
Nald's decision to first break through the seal of the Mystery Saint was certainly great news for John. Throughout Nald's action, John did not hinder him.
This was because John was acutely aware that if Nald could successfully break the seal of the Mystery Saint, he could use this opportunity to make his escape as well.
Nald's current condition was extremely dire, and John could tell that Nald's madness had intensified significantly. It wouldn't be long before Nald might completely succumb to utter insanity.
John felt that his first priority should be to prepare for his own defense. If he couldn't even ensure his own safety, then winning the upcoming battle would be impossible.
With the assistance of the Book of the Astral Realm, Nald quickly broke through the seal of the Mystery Saint. After breaking the seal, Nald appeared to be overjoyed.
"You can no longer control me as you did before! You can no longer make me obey your commands as you did previously! Now, my power surpasses yours! From now on, you must follow my commands! If you refuse to obey me, I will completely annihilate you!"
Nald believed that with the Book of the Astral Realm, his power greatly surpassed that of the Mystery Saint. Since the Mystery Saint could control him when possessing immense strength, Nald reasoned that now, with even greater power than the Mystery Saint, he should be able to control him.
However, the Mystery Saint was certainly not concerned about Nald's words. After Nald broke through his seal, the Mystery Saint immediately launched a second round of attack.
While focusing on Nald, the Mystery Saint did not forget to target John. Using his powerful Mystery force, he quickly re-sealed John. This situation, naturally, left John feeling quite helpless. Although he felt his strength was sufficiently powerful and had indeed managed to confront the Mystery Saint's projection head-on in the previous battle, when the Mystery Saint truly exerted his formidable power, John alone seemed somewhat inadequate.
Upon receiving John's message, they could finally be sure that John had indeed escaped his difficulties. However, they quickly focused on the specific content of John's message. Although they were somewhat surprised, they didn't hesitate. They promptly gathered the strongest weapons and the most precious scrolls from their guild and teleported directly to the Naga tribe.
With the arrival of Adam and Blue Sea at the Naga tribe, the number of top warriors in the tribe increased significantly. Yet, these individuals weren't really able to provide direct assistance in the battle, as the entities engaged in combat were akin to gods. Moreover, John's message to Adam and Blue Sea wasn't a call for them to aid him in battle.
John simply wanted them to be prepared. He felt that there would likely be other unexpected situations arising in the Naga tribe, and it was important for them to be ready to respond.
Upon their arrival at the Naga tribe, John's helpers did not immediately join the battle. Instead, they were merely observing the situation within the tribe. The Naga Queen, quite familiar with these two individuals, directly approached Adam and Blue Sea to inquire, "What is your purpose here? Are you willing to assist our Naga tribe in this crisis? If so, you must help us weaken the power of the Mystery Saint! That's the only way we can provide support to John and the Sea God." The Naga Queen's words drew everyone's attention to her, with all curious about the method she mentioned for diminishing the Mystery Saint's strength.
The Naga Queen didn't leave anyone in suspense. She straightforwardly suggested, "Although we have eliminated most of the Mystery monsters, some Mystery forces still linger around our tribe. As long as these forces exist, the Mystery Saint can continuously absorb them to become stronger. Our task now is to completely eradicate all Mystery forces surrounding the Naga tribe. Each of you possesses top-notch abilities, and I believe you know what to do." In reality, the method proposed by the Naga Queen wasn't particularly hard to conceive. However, previously, everyone's attention was solely focused on the ongoing divine war.
Even Duke Arsena and the Mystery Protector had not thought of such a strategy. But now, there was no significant concern; they simply proceeded according to the Naga Queen's plan.
Thus, the powerful members of the Order Faction within the Naga tribe split up and took action. They swiftly cleared all the Mystery forces surrounding the Naga tribe. This directly impacted the ongoing battle, as the projection of the Mystery Saint could no longer combat Nald and John simultaneously as before.
Now, the Mystery Saint was forced to make a final decision: he could either ally with Nald to target John or join forces with John to confront Nald. The Mystery Saint could not afford any hesitation, especially considering that the Sea God, another deity of the Order Faction, was among his enemies. Although the Sea God was not in the best condition, he was still a formidable force.
The Sea God could exert significant pressure on the Mystery Saint in the upcoming battle, and possibly, in coordination with others, eliminate the projection of the Mystery Saint altogether. Such an outcome would be a severe blow to the Mystery Saint.
