Chapter 286

Seeing from a distance, I can see that the fight between the mermaid king, Mahsuri, Elise and Kara is intense. The mermaid king, keep on mutating, I can see the trace of mermaid no longer from him. Hair likes that of a medusa, beard getting replaced by scaly like structure, multiple arms from various marine species, you name it, Lobster, Kraken, Crab,even a behemoth arm is there. The skin is cover with coral like structure, and the scaly tail becoming thicker and bigger as well

Leviathan, after recovering for a bit, quickly went to Mahsuri aid. I can actually hear the panicking of the citizen. They're all trying their best to stay calm and evacuate the kingdom, but alas, the intense fighting between the king and their queen is a scary sight, one that would strike panic in any citizen who just wish for a normal life

I have almost zero mana left, and so, the best thing I can do now, is just one thing

(Have to use that giant blue orb, and try to do something) [Charlotte]

That giant blue orb, Mahsuri said it was an orb from a homunculus. I wonder, based on her unfinished story, could this orb actually belong to me? Whatever the case might be, I can use it to help evacuate the citizen, that and help the three of them to fight against the corrupted mermaid king

Just going there by myself is a struggle, but thankfully it is near enough for a walk, and so I drag myself, forcing and mustering every last bit of my energy to touch the orb once again, and when I do that, I can feel my mana slowly getting replenish, but waiting no more, I quickly activate a spell

"Dolphin armies. Help the citizen" [Charlotte]

Dolphin is an intelligent creature, and it's a trustable creature in time of need, so that's why I decided to use it.

They swiftly swim, helping mermaid that is stuck under a rubble, or give a ride to mermaid old enough to swim. Some of them even help the mermaid soldiers maintaining order. Maybe because it was my influence, but the dolphin armies I created do remind me a lot about the adventures at Estel. Plus, the mermaid citizen actually feels safer with the dolphin armies present, maybe because they can sense my mana from it

Now, for me to help the three of them, no four of them as Leviathan is providing support as well

It's far away, but I can still see the silhouette figure of the mermaid king. Once again, he has transformed or mutated into something even bizarre.

"Electric shark. Sonar dolphin. Scout tuna" [Charlotte]

I create more assistance, and this time around, I order them to assist me. I'll act as a sniper, building up a long range powerful water bullet. The tuna will swim around, giving me aid in the form of visual cues on what's happening, while the two shark and dolphin will use their sonar senses to further help me pinpoint the exact location of mermaid king from afar, since I don't feel like I can fire the water bullet consecutively

"Neutral mana: Sensory up" [Charlotte]

I might be bad at using neutral mana, but this should not be an excuse. One shot, in order for this one shot to hit, I have to use everything in my disposal to make it happen

Gather. Gather around as mana water bullet that I can, then combines them, and compress them into one heavy bullet. Repeat that process as many times as I could, and keep on repeating it until it become so dense that it could pierce even the mightiest armor. Then, to launch it, since the bullet will be heavy, I have to create enough force behind the bullet.

Again, just create a tsunami. No, maybe not, how about I create an ocean current right behind it. A strong one that could propel just about anything and direct it to the mermaid king. That sound good.

(I can improve it. Ocean current is a continuously generated movement of water, and number of it will form a conveyer belt and the aquatic lives will utilize it to travel around) [Charlotte]

So, what I can do now is create number of predetermined route that the water bullet will travel. Since the corrupted mermaid king have multiple aquatic lives component, maybe he will act on an instinct when he sense the belt, and try to use it, and at that time, I can launch my water bullet to hit him hard and let the other finish the job

"Right let do just that. Shark, dolphin, tuna. Please lend me your hand, or fins in your case" [Charlotte]

And so they did, even some of the dolphin armies help me create one. I can see multiple belts forming across the country. As the dolphins try it out, the momentum one would gain isn't that good, so the penetrative power of the water bullet will not be good, but that's fine. At the end of the day, my intention is just to wound the mermaid king as to give other an opening, that's all.

(Elise and Kara. They have take notice of the belts I created and use it to their advantage as well. That's good, but I have to be extra careful not to hit them) [Charlotte]

They use the belts to move around, launching spell after spell to help Mahsuri, and when they're about to get attack by the mermaid king, they simply let the belts to carry them away, and that's when

"The mermaid king! He is using the belts! Shark, dolphin, tuna! Help me will you!" [Charlotte]

Now, just have to wait for the mermaid king to get close enough before

"NOW! Long range compressed water bullet!" [Charlotte]

The water bullet that I launch from the giant orb, it's as big as I am, but even denser. I don't know how dense it is, maybe even denser than a hammer or a sword, and it travels at velocity enough to kill multiple people, but judging by the current strength of the corrupted mermaid king, it wouldn't kill him, at least I hope it will not

"!" [Mermaid king]

The mermaid king realizes my plan, and try to exit the belt from the side, but unfortunately for him

"No! You will not!" [Mahsuri]

With her sword imbued with force of a tsunami, she uses the blunt side of her sword and hit the mermaid king hard enough to send him flying at my water bullet, and

"A direct hit! The three of you! Now!" [Charlotte]

I shouted so loud that it makes my throat hurt, but the three of them saw the opportunity and quickly surround the heavily injured mermaid king, finishing him off before trying to save him from getting corrupted further

"That's good... I will..." [Charlotte]

Black. All I can see now is pitch black
