As time continued to pass, players became more adept at dodging.

Later on, Gugel found it increasingly difficult to inflict any damage, and his condition grew more peculiar. His entire body looked increasingly emaciated, as if his flesh and blood were constantly disappearing.

In the end, Gugel looked like a skeleton wrapped in a layer of human skin.

His movements had become completely slow, and the light blue glow in his eyes gradually dimmed.

Finally, the light blue glow disappeared completely from Gugel's eyes, and the magic patterns on his body began to recede. Subsequently, Gugel collapsed directly onto the surface of the water.

It seemed that because all his flesh and blood had disappeared, his body became particularly light, so he did not sink into the sea but floated on the surface, bobbing up and down.

Seeing this, Wangzai Little Buns and the other players breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"What the heck, this boss's special state lasted really long, a full half an hour. My God, thankfully, we barely made it through."

Mr. Zhou's gaze rested on Gugel's corpse, then he slowly spoke, "I think we need to collect this boss's body and take it to Mage Fang Ka. Perhaps Mage Fang Ka can research something useful from the body."

Mr. Zhou's suggestion was immediately agreed upon by the other players. However, to prevent any incidents, these top-level players did not personally approach Gugel's body to collect it.

Instead, they planned to send ordinary players from their legion to check Gugel's condition.

Under the various welfare promises of legion commanders like Wangzai Little Buns, many ordinary players competed to take on the task.

Eventually, Wangzai Little Buns and the others selected an ordinary player and had them approach Gugel's body.

Soon, this player was beside Gugel and began checking carefully.

After a while, he said, "Legion Commanders, this boss should be truly and completely dead. There's no trace of flesh on the body, only bones beneath the skin. There's a large cavity where the heart should be, no blood is flowing, and there's no sign of life whatsoever."

After hearing this description, Wangzai Little Buns and the others breathed a slight sigh of relief. They used several methods to truly confirm Gugel's death, then had a player transport Gugel's body to Kain Island for Fang Ka to handle.

The players had to be cautious because the psychological impact Gugel had on them was immense.

Players like Flatulence and Mountain Tiger, who were legion commanders, fell directly in the battle because of Gugel.

Though they could start over, no one knew whether any changes would occur when they reached the high tier again, or if they would even retain their original race.

Even if they could retain their original race and start again, their legion's high-level players might not let them resume their roles as legion commanders.

Originally, the players calculated that this war would not result in significant casualties. Even if there were casualties, elite players like them certainly wouldn't suffer any losses.

But because of Gugel, their calculations went terribly wrong, leading to such heavy losses.

Truly, all they could do was acknowledge that the Sea Elf Race had its cards to play to surpass the top-level forces of the East and West Continents.

They wondered how the Gana Race could still hold their ground even when besieged by so many powerful forces.

Analyzing it this way, it seemed the Gana Race had even more terrifying cards up their sleeves.

The upcoming battle left little suspense; the remaining Sea Elf Race warriors couldn't even manage to escape under the players' high mobility.

Since Wangzai Little Buns and others managed to tire Gugel to death, and the players who died from Gugel's special state were mainly low-level, the overall impact on the situation wasn't too significant.

The situation quickly turned one-sided.

Facing these Sea Elf warriors, the players showed no mercy, killing knights and mages alike.

As for knights, they absorbed the Origin Battle Energy they left behind to enhance their own power. As for the mages, they killed them and tried to keep their bodies intact, then transported them to Kain Island for Fang Ka.

Before the war, Fang Ka had set prices for enemy mages and knights, with different prices for bodies of different power levels.

Delivering them to Fang Ka would bring greater gains to the players.

After the war ended, the players began to clean up the battlefield.

This war wiped out nearly eighty percent of the Sea Elf Race's combat power.

The remaining twenty percent of the Sea Elf Race warriors were completely unqualified to fight against the players.

At most, they could only attempt harassment, but the problem was, the players had even higher mobility than the Sea Elf Race warriors. If they attempted harassment, they might not even manage to flee before being killed by the players.

In other words, they were no longer qualified to be enemies of the players, and now it was time to assimilate the remaining territories of the Sea Elf Race.

To see which part of the Sea Elf Race's territory to reclaim next.

While the players were cleaning up the battlefield, in the Royal Capital of the Sea Elf Race, the Sea Elf King and the Great Elder of the Elder Council had already received intelligence reports about the war.

In a palace, the Great Elder and the Sea Elf King sat facing each other, both of their expressions particularly somber.

No one spoke, the entire palace was silent. Finally, under this oppressive silence, the Great Elder of the Elder Council broke the silence first: "Morsa, you are still young. You can leave the Sea Elf Race. My suggestion is that you head to the Eastern or Western Continent."

"You can't go to the Merfolk Race or Fishman Race because if our Sea Elves are completely defeated by that Undead force, it's only a matter of time for the Merfolk and Fishmen too. They cannot withstand it."

"Next, you should lay low and wait for the opportunity. If one day all the forces of the East and West Continents can truly unite to utterly defeat that Undead force and the Gana Race, your chance to make a comeback will arrive."

"Neither the Undead force nor the Gana Race will slaughter ordinary members of the Sea Elf Race. Therefore, as long as they are eventually vanquished, you can rally and lead the Sea Elf Race to rise again."

"I'm too old to consider escaping. I will stay here and await the army of that Undead force, trying to cause them as much harm as possible with my last cards."

"Alright, that's all I have to say. Hurry and leave here."

Hearing the Great Elder's words, Morsa clenched her fists and slowly spoke, "Great Elder, stop deceiving yourself. Even if one day the East and West Continents can truly unite to defeat the Gana Race and this Undead force, do you think they'll give me the chance to restore the Sea Elf Race?"

"They will only further enslave the Sea Elf Race, not giving any chance."

"We have been totally defeated; the Sea Elf Race, no longer exists."
