However, right at that moment, there was a loud rumbling. The two iron gates that were in front and behind the church were locked shut. Immediately, from a hole above him, merfolk began rushing into the church. Every merfolk that rushed into the church immediately avoided Wilbur.


    In no time, more than a dozen merfolk rushed into the church. These merfolk surrounded Wilbur from all directions, pointing their harpoons at him, preparing for the final attack.


    One merfolk''s lips moved, murmuring something, and in an instant, all the merfolk raised the harpoons in their hands and thrust them toward Wilbur. At the same time, Wilbur chanted a spell, and a colorful flow of light appeared above his head, activating the Dragon''s Safehaven.


    The next moment, the harpoons struck the Dragon''s Safehaven and were all bounced off. These merfolk quickly raised their harpoons again and rushed forward. When they repeatedly found that they could not harm Wilbur at all, these merfolk became furious, emitting ear-piercing screams.


    Then, the merfolk surrounded the Dragon''s Safehaven and kept observing Wilbur. At this moment, one merfolk raised the harpoon in its hand and thrust it towards Jenny lying in the ice coffin. However, just as the harpoon was about to fall, another merfolk grabbed it and reprimanded the first merfolk. The first merfolk had no choice but to retract the harpoon, ring fiercely at Wilbur.


    Seeing this scene, Wilbur breathed a sigh of relief. When the merfolk appeared from the hole above just now, Wilbur was afraid they would attack Jenny''s body, so he had been guarding the ice coffin. Now, Wilbur found out that they would not attack Jenny, and a n formed in his mind.


    Wilbur chanted a spell, creating an avatar from his body. The next moment, as the Dragon''s Safehaven disappeared, Wilbur controlled the avatar to rush forward while he himself went in the opposite direction.


    The harpoon in his hand instantly killed a merfolk, and in an instant, he broke through the encirclement and reached the corner between the two walls. Leaning against the wall, Wilbur raised his right hand, and a thunder cleaver appeared. The next moment, he swung the thunder cleaver fiercely, shing out.


    The de swept over, cutting down the two merfolk rushing toward him. The other merfolk, smelling the blood, rushed toward Wilbur in a fit of rage with their harpoons raised.


    These merfolk seemed to have greater strength, but there did not seem to be any cultivators among them. Therefore, Wilbur continued attacking with the thunder cleaver. In the blink of an eye, he managed to kill eight merfolk.


    Now, there were only four merfolk left in the church. These four merfolk kept retreating and dared not advance. Then, they drilled out through the hole above the church.


    Wilbur looked up at the hole above the church. It seemed that in order to survive here, the merfolk intentionally punched holes in the roofs of all the buildings in the entire Gelsa town, making it convenient for entry and exit.


    Although it was convenient to the merfolk, it was a bizarre feeling to humans. After all, human buildings, apart from chimneys, did not have passages that led directly from the rooms to the roof.


    At the same time, Wilbur also felt it was ridiculous. If a house could not be entered through the front door and had to be entered through a hole in the roof, what difference would they be from animals?


    Although the merfolk had temporarily retreated, the iron gates on both sides of the church remained closed. This indicated that the merfolk still wanted to trap Wilbur in the church. To prevent the merfolk from going crazy and attacking Jenny, Wilbur took Jenny out of the ice coffin and ced her behind himself in the corner.


    This way, Wilbur''s back was safe, as long as he could defeat the merfolk attacking from the front, Jenny would not be harmed.
