Plop... Plop... plop!
Beware of what you read!!!
*****
Killing the Alpha propels Gallion Slime intelligence to Good and its Mental Fortitude as much. Gaining a semblance of understanding of itself and its surroundings.
The next thing it did was kill the three Hammer Birds and that gave it Air affinity and negated its metallic weight!
With its 4 Metal Bladed Arms, flashing from one location to another, tens of Birds are falling like rain but more were arriving. However, none of them was coming for it, they all aimed at Elias's location.
None of the Birds was proved difficult to kill, they all fell before they reached the opening Elias was. But the wave was thickening and the Birds in their frenzy spread to different locations and attacked from everywhere!
Stamina!
Mental Capacity!
Air Affinity!
Constantly added to the Slime, but it was futile as the number was staggering, it can't keep up with them. In just a few seconds it was drowning in the wave of frenzied Birds.
It was still killing but there was no difference!
As for Elias, he was lying in blood, the beak of the Flamingo had fallen on his thigh, puncturing it and breaking his femur.
Sensing the Gallion Slime being overwhelmed and countless Birds bypassing it, yet killing each other due to collision, only a few passed through, Elias sighed.
"Each Trial is worse than the other!"
"Buy Luck!"
[-10]
"The value of Luck never rises, despite all the miracles" Elias grimaced.
During the peaceful moment in this Fourth Trial, Elias brooded a lot, analyzing the past Trials and he had gleaned something and made a Hypothesis.
Now, it's the time to Accept the Null or Reject the Null...that was if he lived!
Just as he bought the Luck, Gallium Slime killed a Strength base Bird and its power boosted. It bounced back fast, killing all the Birds that passed it and then stood to barricade the hole the Birds passed to Elias.
But some Birds have crashed on Elias already and injured him further—still alive though.
The Bird increased in number and frenzy and was on the verge of overwhelming the Slime!
"Buy luck!"
[-10]
The sea became still... then numerous heads protruded—fluffy slimy blackheads with two green bulging eyes. Then the head kept coming out from the sea slowly. And Frog's head appeared!
Su!
Su!
Su!
Su!
The Frogs open their mouths and shoot out their pink elastic tongue which elongated hundreds of meters in the sky capturing a Bird and dragging them into their mouth!
With the appearance of what seemed to be Frogs, the entire Bird army was disoriented. And that forced them to break out of their frenzy out of fear of the Marine Life form.
The Frog's size was just the size of Elias's head but their pink tongues were strong enough to drag Birds meters long with ease. And even if a Bird struggles, the moment it touches the water, it becomes limp and drowns.
Three seconds, it only took three seconds before the whole overwhelming number of Birds became disorganized.
The second Alpha Flamingo screeched in defiance but it didn't dare to attack the water.
It called upon some of the Birds but it allowed those that were fast to evade the pink tongues and reached the Island.
"It called something?!" Elias thought.
His wounds were no longer bleeding but due to the water that was seeping from the ground, he felt cold and became pale.
"Why can't I feel around?" Elias wondered.
The Omni-view was dulling as if he was losing his Island to someone but there was no one.
That only began to happen when the Frogs began to hop onto the Island. And their complete appearance appeared.
[Deep Frogers]
[They have the head of a Frog and a long stretchy pink tongue but the lower body of each of them was different. Some have the lower body of an octopus, some a crab, some a fish, some an eel, some… a human]
The variety was chaotic. With their frog's upper limbs, they were able to stumble and ragged themselves on the land.
The Froggers were on Elias Island, dragging themselves while attacking the Birds with their pink tongues!
[You are being cursed]
"What?" He spoke
[Curse Failed]
"What?"
"Who is cursing me?"
[Children Of The Deep]
That was the only thing Wand informed Elias with. He asked for more explanation but [No Enough information]
If Elias can see, he would have seen strange creatures coming from the water that was seeping from below without him even feeling them.
[You are drowning]
Elias never felt that he was drowning, he quickly started to struggle to sit with difficulty and… then… he heard something falling on the water.
Plop!
Plop!
Plop!
The creatures that cling to him were falling due to him standing.
"Who are Children of the Deep?"
No answer.

~Weee arrre heeere tttto blessss yoou!~
Faint voices shimmered in his ears!
Elias froze... his nerves no longer obeying him!
Chillness… unlike normal cold but something sinister—crawled throughout his body, from his skin to bones!
An infant baby with black soaked skin, grey eyes and no pupils lies on top of Elias's head!
It bent down, staring at Elias's blind eyes, trying to force them to see it!
The baby opened its mouth and gooey dirty golden saliva slipped out and the baby licked Elias's eyes with its black rotten tongue, all the while, Elias was oblivious to what was happening!
Tiny babies with the same characteristics as the one on top of Elias' head, crawled on his body until they reached his face, two of them grabbed Elias' eyelids and opened them wide, they then crawled inside with their black soaked bodies and dangling umbilical cord!
And… Elias, the victim, felt nothing, he only felt colder and… his Island sense kept dulling!
Deep down, Elias' intuition was screaming danger but his bodily senses were dulled with the chills.
Feeling cold, the ignorant Elias crawled out of the Bunker—outside with the Birds of Prey—he felt safer and better for no reason.
~Eeeeelia...yas~
Blindness was a fortune! He would have been drowned had he glanced at them.
But visuals were only one means, his auditory senses were active, thus they influenced him through it, but the commotion was drowning their efforts!
He managed to crawl out and the Second Alpha Flamingo saw him, it dived down but it suddenly halted, seeing the Children Of The Deep on his head, shoulder, back and in his eyes, clinging!
It quickly took up and flew and the rest of the Bird followed suit!
