160 Ch. 160 'The Duel'

Zephyr floated in the sky, watching the fierce battle between Zehell and Uzzarc. The two wizards also noticed his arrival but did not react and remained focused on their duel. Zephyr himself did not intend to interfere and only watched them as spectators.

No one knows what kind of expression Zephyr is wearing right now because of the mask that always covers his face. But Zehell felt absolutely sure that the man must be wondering what had made him change his mind.

From the beginning, Zephyr already knew Zehell and Shakina had mermaid blood in their bodies. The combination of pureblood blood and mermaid blood makes the two of them a wizard filled with unlimited power.

Unfortunately, Shakina was not aware of the mermaid's power in her, so she never used it. In fact, Shakina felt disdain for mermaids who weren't on her level. If she had known that her real mother was a mermaid race, perhaps the woman would have cursed her mother and was very grateful to her father for selling their mother to a slave trader.

Another case with Zehell. He was very fond of all the unique creatures, including the spirit race and daemons. Every time he heard a fairy tale from his mother about a mermaid, Zehell was the most enthusiastic while his half brother would go straight to the room and sleep.

Because of this, his mother dared to tell Zehell the truth. The mother told her true identity to her only son. At first, Zehell didn't believe it, but when his mother's legs turned into tails while immersing themselves in the water, only then, Zehell believed.

Regrettably, Uzzarc decided to sell his mother when she gave birth to a daughter for some reason. Uzzarc only wanted boys and did not expect girls at all. Just because of this unreasonable reason, Uzzarc threw away his second wife, just like when he left his first wife untreated to death.

Years of growing up filled with fear of his father's punishments, Zehell hides his real level of magic and the fact that he has mermaid powers.

Until about a hundred years ago, Zehell met Zephyr. In just one look, Zephyr has guessed the identity of his two biological parents.

That's why Zephyr tried to persuade him to fix this dilapidated country. If there was someone who could find a way to purify the dark force in Mermaid Lake's energy circle, then Zehell would be the right person.

But Zehell refused and did not dare to oppose his father. He was not someone who was brave enough to fight his frightening father, let alone have to deal with his half brother, who was the incarnation of his father.

For Zehell, as long as he could live in peace without conflict, he will not make a difference.

Therefore, the fierce battle between the father-son duo made Zephyr very inquisitive. What made Zehell change his mind and dare to fight the father he feared the most?

Over the years, Uzzarc forced adult mermaids to create three to four seeds in the incubator before skinning their tails for sale. These seeds will grow big and become baby mermaids. Then Uzzarc will take care of this baby mermaid to adulthood and do the same thing as the previous adult mermaid.

And now only two adult mermaids are left waiting for their last breath. Meanwhile, two baby mermaids will be born in a few months to be cared for and used at will.

Zehell did not know it at first and turned a blind eye every time he saw someone eat mermaid scale soup.

But Zehell could no longer stand by the sight of the two mermaids chained in the inhuman way he saw them. His desire to save those mermaids increasing once he saw the pool filled with membranes for the prospective baby mermaid.

Even though Zehell didn't recognize them, he felt his heart erode at the mermaids' anguish. He felt like a member of his family was locked up. He felt like he saw his mother was chained and tortured so cruelly.

His heart couldn't bear it, and he no longer wanted to let his fear overtake him.

It was the cause as to why Zehell started to rebel and is now putting all his strength into defeating the only main culprit who has made the mermaids suffer.

Zehell and Uzzarc have both almost reached their limits, but neither of them wants to budge.

"How stubborn! You better give up this very second before you regret it," warned Uzzard in a threatening tone.

"Shouldn't you have given up? I'm starting to smell your fear, old man," smirked Zehell with dangerous glint eyes.

When it comes to the size of cultivation strength, it is clear that Uzzarc is much stronger than Zehell. But unfortunately for the man, his son has two magic circles as well as the power of a mermaid.

The mermaid race is the most vigorous spirit among other races. In addition, Zehell was able to combine magic power with the power of elemental energy, which increased the force power of his ability.

The combination of the three kinds of strength and his quick-wittiness makes Uzzarc quite overwhelmed even though the foundation of his cultivation is much higher than Zehell's.

So far, Uzzarc only fights magical beasts who are not good at strategizing and rarely fight other wizards. Moreover, Uzzarc has secluded himself for a hundred years, making his fighting instincts quite dull.

There was no doubt that Zehell will be the winner. It's just that, could Zehell's body survive from his own overwhelming energy?

As well as being covered in wounds, Zehell uses his power beyond what he should do. This time Zehell didn't think about his body condition at all and only focused on fighting Uzzarc.

Zehell raised a hand towards the sky, then an invincible force gathered above his palm.

Wind, water, earth, and fire also came together around his palms. Zephyr's pair of emerald green eyes looked at him in wonder.

Is it possible that Zehell will use the magic technique he once taught?

What a reckless act!
