How to become a mermaid

Chapter 16 It's better to ask for help... Let's wait for death!

The sharkman's attack made the angry Batonio gradually regain his composure from the rage.

He gave up beating Johnny and threw Johnny on the deck.

Jonny, who was thrown away, stumbled all the way, and hit his head on the guardrail of the bow.

When he was beaten by Batonio just now, Jonny saw his crew fall into the water and heard their screams in the sea.

The physical pain has now been ignored by Jonny, and the death of the crew has brought him close to breaking down.

"Pud...Joseph..." whispering the names of the crew members, two lines of tears flowed down Jonny's swollen face beyond recognition.

"I shouldn't have gone to sea... I shouldn't have killed you, it's all my fault, it's my greed that is beyond my control."

"Dead, they're all dead! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Johnny bumped his head against the guardrail like crazy.

"Coward!" Batonio spat in Johnny's direction.

Batonio was largely responsible for the disaster, but he showed no remorse.

He looked at the fishing boat that was about to sink below him and the disintegrating fleet around him, thinking about how to survive.

The potion that Batonio took was the potion of the [Jumping Fish] sequence.

The adult body of this deep-sea fish is a Sequence 12 carnivorous fish. Its tail is distributed with strong muscles. With a flick of the tail, it can be ejected tens of meters in the water in an instant, and it moves very quickly.

The jumping fish's [Leaping Strike] skill has powerful kinetic energy, a jumping fish no bigger than a palm can knock over a juvenile killer whale.

[Consecutive Leap] It is even possible to perform triple jumps in the water.

Batonio's current sequence is 13, and he has mastered the three skills of [Underwater Breathing], [Leap Strike] and [Consecutive Leap Strike].

But he has just entered this sequence, [Leap Strike] can only be used about ten times, and [Continuous Leap Strike] can only be used once.

Moreover, when he just jumped from his own boat to Johnny's boat, he had already used [Leap] once.

If there were only ordinary murlocs here, Batonio felt he should be able to run away.

But the halo that floated up from the bottom of the water just now clearly shows that there are Sequencers among this group of shark people!
So... what to do?
The ship was sinking lower and lower, and Batonio had to make a decision as soon as possible.

"Captain Barto! Help us!"

Batonio's crew are calling for his help.

These shark people are very smart, and they didn't plan to get on the boat to fight humans, but kept destroying the boat.

As long as the ship sinks, none of these people can escape!
The shark people know the news, and so do the men on board, but there's nothing they can do about it!
They were desperately trying to sail, but the underwater sharks blocked the propellers, making it impossible for the fleet to move.

"Uncle Barto, you are the strongest person here, please find a way!" A desperate cry for help came from the fleet.

"Uncle Barto, you are our savior!"

Even though Batonio had just brutally beaten Johnny, his strength made everyone regard him as the only life-saving straw.

"He won't save you!"

On the boat farthest from Batonio, someone poured cold water on it.

"Torbion, what are you talking about? You are still sowing discord at this hour?" The people on the same boat shouted loudly.

"Heh... He is probably thinking about how to use you to survive."

It's time for life and death, and Torbjörn is no longer arguing with Batonio.

Unlike these ordinary people who had no power to defend themselves and could only ask Batonio for help, he who had also taken the potion had other methods.

"Begging for help is worse than asking for yourself! How could someone like Batonio help us!"

As Tobion said, he bent down.

Under the surprised eyes of his classmates, feathers gradually appeared on Torbjörn's face, the skin on his palms became rough and dry, and his fingers quickly grew sharp hook-shaped nails, which looked like some kind of bird. Same as claws.

The companion had already guessed the reason for this strange phenomenon at this time, and said in surprise: "The potion is going berserk? Tobion, are you dying?!"

The potion rampage he mentioned refers to forcibly catalyzing the potion in the body before the potion is completely digested to achieve the effect of greatly improving strength in a short period of time.

This method is very dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will be killed on the spot.

Even if he survived by luck, if he takes the potion again later, the probability of distortion will increase dramatically.

Various restrictions indicate that this is just a trick used to fight for one's life.

Being cornered by the Sharkmen, Torbjörn was desperate.

"If this goes on like this, it will definitely be death. If this is the case... it's better to fight!" Tobion said with a painful face.

As he spoke, something stretched his back, and a pair of bird-like wings tore through his shirt and protruded from his back.

"It seems... Goddess of Fate is looking after me!"

After flapping the wings behind him, a smile appeared on Tobion's sweaty face.

The potion he takes is a bird potion, which will grow wings after advancing to the highest level.

The effect of the potion's rampage is completely unknown.

Torbjörn was betting that if he could grow wings smoothly, he would be able to get out of this dangerous situation!

Fortunately, he won the bet!

"Goodbye! My friends!"

Torbjörn flapped his wings, his whole body staggered into the air and took off into the air.

"Don't go! Tobion!"

"Take me with you!"

Seeing Torbjang take off, his companions finally recovered from the shock, jumping up and trying to grab Torbjang's feet.

Torbjörn, who had just mastered the ability to fly, naturally couldn't take another person to run, and it was his utmost benevolence to be able to remind his companions.

Facing his companion who jumped up and wanted to touch his ankle, Tobjang kicked him down and kicked his companion away.

Torbjörn staggered up to the sky, and shouted down:
"I can't save you! We're going to sink together!"

"When I return to Sebator Town, I will definitely find someone to save you!"

By the time he returned to Sebator Town, the people here would have been the excrement of shark people.

The companion who was kicked down by Torbion cursed: "Damn Torbjörn, you treacherous fellow! I curse you to be caught by the thunderbird in the sky, with your tongue pulled out by its claws, and your eyeballs caught by its sharp beak! Peck blind, the internal organs are thrown into the sea by it to feed the fish!"

"You'll die faster than us, Torbjörn—!"

The people on the boat shouted angrily, but Torbion in the sky ignored them.

however…

There is a saying that one word becomes a prophecy.

"[Sluggish Aura]!"

Suddenly a bright yellow halo floated out of the sea, shooting towards the wobbly Torbion in the sky.

"What is this? Don't come here!"

Seeing something approaching, Torbjörn wanted to dodge to avoid it, but he had just learned to fly, so he couldn't do such flexible movements at all.

The halo was placed on Tobion's head, and his flapping of his wings froze suddenly.

Even with all his strength, even with desperate struggles, Torbjörn's wings could only flap slowly.

His body fell downwards, and sank into the sea with a "plop" under everyone's gaze.

"Ahhh-!"

Blood and feathers billowed in the sea.

Torbjörn, dead.
