Chapter 587 Chapter-587

Neridia is now swimming as fast as she can to reach the ship no. 16, which is about 32 km from her.

Mermaids are very fast swimmers, and due to their long and balanced tails, they can travel up to 1 km/minute.

Right now, Neridia has broken that record by going 2 km/minute.

If seen from a distance, Neridia looks like a bullet fired out of a gun underwater.

"I can't leave my people like that... I have to fight for them," Neridia spoke as she summoned a weapon into her hands.

It was a trident made out of Deris jade, one of the strongest materials underwater. It's even stronger than pure travertine, but it has one big flaw—it can only work underwater; once outside, it will turn into normal jade.

This trident is a family treasure in Neridia's family. Originally made by the Sirens and wielded by their king, 'Adolf,' in the great water war, he was killed by Neridia's grandfather, and the trident was taken away by the mermaids.

Although Neridia's grandfather passed it down to her father and then to her, the trident never accepted them as its true master. They can never unleash its true power until the trident accepts them as its one true master.

After swimming for about 16 minutes, Neridia finally reached her destination—Ship no.16.

All the mermaids and sirens are walking out of the ship with sad and scared faces.

One of the female sirens is locked with chains, and the other sirens are looking at her with angry and disgusted expressions.

"Wait..." Neridia shouted as she immediately swam up to them, but before she could have reached them, two siren soldiers immediately stopped her by pointing their tridents at her.

"Who are you?"

"State your purpose."

"We greet, Our Queen." All the mermaids spoke at once as they bowed down to Neridia.

"Queen?" Both the soldiers looked at each other with surprised expressions.

"Weren't you supposed to be on ship no.13?" One of the soldiers asked.

"Yeah, you shouldn't be here..." Another soldier spoke up.

"I am here to protect my people from danger," Neridia replied with a serious expression.

"Protect them? Do you even know how to fight?"

"Hey, what's happening here?" Suddenly a female siren, who was wearing the badge of a general, swam up to them. nove)lB/1n

"General, she is the Queen of these Mermaids, and she says that she wants to protect her people and all..." One of the soldiers explained.

"Hello, I am General Sera of Ship no.16, and I have already received the information of you coming here. I am strictly ordered by Grandmother to send you back to ship no.13.

Now, either you go by yourself, or I will grab you against your will and take you there myself. Which one do you want?" Sera asked.

"I am here to save my people from those monsters, and I am not going to go back at any cost. Today, I will fight with my people and die with them," Neridia spoke.

"Yeah? Ask your people if they even know how to fight. If only one of them can even use a trident, then I will let you stay here.

Don't waste your life on these stupid people, just go back to the ship and plan on how you are going to revenge our deaths," Sera spoke.

"Why can't we just transfer them to another ship?" Neridia asked.

"They are all affected by her aura. The minions can now find them from the deepest corner of the sea," Sera explained.

"How did they get affected by her aura?" Neridia asked with a serious expression.

Mermaids and sirens release a special aura from their bodies. Every mermaid has a different aura around them, and this aura can be manipulated at will.

They use this aura to imprint big rocks while researching in the deep sea, so they can find their way back easily.

"When she was informed that we are about to sacrifice her, she unleashed all of her aura over this whole ship, and all of them got affected by her aura, except us three... Because we were outside patrolling the ship.

Now, if you don't want to get affected by her Aura, go back," Sera spoke.

"I am saying this for the last time... I will not go back without my people," Neridia spoke with a serious expression.

"Well, you two take care... I will be going to shop no.13 with-" Before Sera could have completed her sentence, she was abruptly interrupted by another siren.

"General... General." A watcher siren came swimming towards them at a very fast pace.

She stopped about 2 feet away from Sera and the two guards, so that her aura can't affect them.

"What happened?" Sera asked.

"T-They are coming." The siren informed with a scared expression.

"How many of them?" Sera asked as she summoned her trident.

"A-About.... Ten thousand ma'am, and all of them are second stage minions." She informed.

"Second stage?" Sera asked with a surprised and shocked expression.

Aegis has separated his minions into three categories: first stage, second stage, and third stage minions.

First stage minions are not that good at fighting; these types of minions are only good in fighting if they are in large groups, and most of the time they just search around for mermaids in the sea.

Second stage minions are really good at fighting, and they can easily defeat an army of sirens with half the numbers.

Third stage minions are very strong minions that share the same power source as Aegis. Whatever they see, Aegis sees, and they are really dangerous to fight with.

"Y-Yes, Ma'am. They will reach us in about 10 minutes. Can I go back to my family now, Please?" The siren asked with a desperate expression.

"You can go," Sera permitted.

"You have to go now, because I don't want to spend the last time of my life dragging you around. I want to fight alongside with my soldiers and die a worthy death.

Now go- huh?" Sera spoke as she turned around and noticed that Neridia is not in front of her anymore.
