"Was it discovered?" said Allen, chuckling inwardly, and stopped. He looked around and didn't see any flaws in the disguises on Riel and Frey, and when he looked at himself, he didn't either.

But these sharks were indeed coming in this direction, and their eyes and demeanor were full of hostility. Rows of tiny fangs in the mouth are also exposed.

"Could it be ......" Alan guessed something, and turned back suddenly.

Despite the poor lighting, Alan faintly noticed something unusual...... Not far behind them, several blurred black shadows were rapidly approaching here!

"Sure enough, there's something else wandering around here!" Allen's heart tightened.

He quickly dragged Frey and Riel beside him, and dived to the bottom of the lake again.

They hid behind a raised rock mass and watched quietly. Only then did Alan realize that there was only one black shadow, but because it was too fast and traveled in a strange way, it looked like there were several shadows approaching this side at the same time.

"This way of action...... It's a little familiar......" Alan couldn't help but be a little nervous after taking a closer look, "Could it be ......?"

At this time, Frey, who was beside him, also realized what it was, and wrote the word "Necromancy" on the sand with his wand: "Necromancy".

"They're still here!"

No wonder it's been so long, and these mermen are still on such high alert......

But when you think about it, these dead spirits don't belong to living beings in the first place, they don't need to eat, they don't need to rest, so it seems that they can linger here for a long time.

"It seems that the necromancers often visit this place, trying to snatch the Staff of Void. Alan thought, "And maybe there's more than one." ”

Thinking of this, he looked around again, and sure enough, he found that there was another necromancer, approaching the altar from another direction at a very high speed.

They also move freely in the water, as if they have encountered no resistance at all, and can almost compete with the merman.

However, these mermaids were not fooled, and immediately a few more met them, and the rest continued to remain vigilant.

"The mermaids seem to know a lot about the behavior of these two necromancers...... "Alan saw some clues, "it seems that they have been wandering around here for a long time, and have tried many times...... Perhaps, they haven't left since they came here. ”

The necromancers who first appeared had already made contact with the mermen, but to Allen's surprise, they chose hand-to-hand combat.

These necromancers are said to be magical, but they can only perform the most basic actions in this water. Remembering that Tim had said that the lake was protected by the lake spirits, Eren had a point in his heart.

The whole process was short, and it was not as thrilling as expected. Relying on the natural advantages provided by the water body, the merman guards quickly drove the two necromancers away. This made Eren breathe a sigh of relief - the Staff of Void was saved.

"They don't seem to be up to the task......," thought Allen, "but judging by the fact that they've been unsuccessful for so many years, they're probably only carrying out the most basic directives of Burrestu, and they can't make too complex a plan of action." ”

However, after such a disturbance by the necromancers, the vigilance of the sharks has been raised to a higher level, and it has become more difficult for them to get close to the altar.

By this time, more than half an hour had passed since they had dived into the luminous lake, and their tolerance for the cold had almost reached its limit, so they decided to retreat temporarily.

And if they stay in the water for too long, it will worry the other two people on the shore. Being able to figure out the basic situation here is already a big gain.

The three of them walked through the aquatic grass forest the same way they came, and then surfaced.

"Thank goodness, you're finally back!" Alyssa's voice came from not far away, "I saw two dead spirits coming down from the other side of the lake, and it scared me!"

"We saw them too, but luckily we didn't encounter them. Allen said.

"Let's not talk about this yet...... Cold, I'm dying of cold......" Riel shuddered, "Hold on to me!"

With that, he couldn't wait to start chanting the incantation.

Because it was so cold underwater, Riel made a bit of a big move when he came out of the water, attracting the attention of several mermen patrolling the shore. Thankfully, they were slow to move ashore, and Rare had already moved them to their camp before they arrived.

"Excuse me...... Hurry up and start the fire!" Rare begged Alyssa as soon as he landed, "I'm almost frozen into ice!"

But before he could finish speaking, Alyssa had already raised the campfire and dressed Alan.

Sitting around the campfire, the men finally felt a little relieved.

"How's it going?" asked Cynthia.

Alan glanced up at her and whispered a few words: "Not optimistic." ”

"Are there any insurmountable obstacles?"

"Hmm...... It's hard to say......" Alan said after a moment of contemplation, "We've found the location of the Staff of Void, but the nearby area is more heavily guarded than the one on the shore...... It seems that because of the frequent harassment of these necromancers, the mermaids who are specially responsible for guarding the Void Staff hardly leave the place for a moment. ”

"That's right. Frey also added, "And since it's underwater, you can't use any magic, and in terms of physical function alone, the merman has the upper hand in that environment." ”

"It's horrible, those teeth in their mouths!" Rair shouted, "There are at least a few hundred of them!"

"How can it be so exaggerated...... "I think it's more worrying than their teeth, the weapons in their hands, right? those harpoons can easily pierce our bodies......"

"And if that's all there is to it......," said Frey, "the most troublesome thing is the necromancers who don't know when they will come to stir things up, and they will make the merman more vigilant and more difficult to get close to the Staff of Void...... I've also seen other mermermen come out of their nests later to help. ”

"What to do......" Alan was at a loss, "how can it be so exaggerated...... "I think it's more worrying than their teeth, right......?

"And if that's all there is to it......," said Frey, "the most troublesome thing is the necromancers who don't know when they will come to stir things up, and they will make the merman more vigilant and more difficult to get close to the Staff of Void...... I've also seen other mermermen come out of their nests later to help. ”

"What to do......" Alan was at a loss.
