Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 49 Menacing
As elves born from the ocean, mermaids are born with the power to control the vast waves.

Although the mermaid girl in front of him is still in her growth stage, she can compete with the supreme monarch Qingning on the coastline and is not at a disadvantage for the time being.

With her back to the sea, every scale on her body flows with the blessing of the ocean.

And when they reach the sea, they can completely suppress Qingning. This is the advantage brought by race.

Looking at the entire ocean monster clan, the mermaid clan stands at the top of the pyramid. Even the deep sea giant monsters who dominate the area have to give some face to the mermaid royal family when they see them.
There is also a secret about the mermaid's growth process.

When they reach a certain age, they will have two choices.

One is to embrace the ocean, develop into a marine demon clan, and continue to practice in the sea. Then, her human characteristics will gradually disappear, the scales on her body will become denser and denser, her eyelids will evolve into transparent nictitating membranes, her face will become sharper, and her voice will develop like that of a fish, gradually losing the ability to sing perfect music.

However, he will gain the terrifying ability to control the pressure of sea water and become the true overlord of the sea.

The second option is to transform into a human, with her tail fin transformed into legs, allowing her to live on land. She will retain her human appearance and voice, but her vocal range will be expanded, allowing anyone to hear her. However, she will lose 70% of her water control ability, and as time goes by, the power of the ocean will become increasingly weaker.

If you want to regain the power to control the tsunami, you need to dissolve some of the essence and blood of a powerful sirens.

But in the eyes of marine creatures, mermaids who transform and walk onto land are traitors to the sea. How could they possibly give their blood to a traitor?
It was time for the mermaid to make a decision. She loved music very much, but she knew that after making this choice, she would gradually lose her voice and would never be able to sing beautiful songs again.

That's why she came to this sea area to sing during this period.

When the mermaid was first captured by Qin Xiaonan, she was angry but not completely panicked.

She sneered in her heart:

(How dare a mere human imprison the deep-sea royal family?)
(Mother will soon arrive with a raging wave)

(I will definitely let you experience the pain of waterboarding when the time comes.)

She knew that this human was after her detoxifying tears and would not kill her in the short term, and her mother would definitely come looking for her if she hadn't seen her for a few days.

That human might be able to defeat me, but he would never be able to withstand the wrath of the Mermaid Queen.

But at this moment, all the thoughts in his heart were shattered by the sudden transformation.

"How could it be? Only three days." She trembled as she stroked her smooth human legs, her pearly nails scratching red marks on the skin. Despair surged like a tide:
Transforming into a human means being abandoned by the will of the ocean, and her mother will most likely regard her as a traitor.

As the power of the ocean weakens, the effect of her tears will gradually disappear. When this human discovers that his tears have no detoxifying effect, he may die.

The mermaid was crying so sadly at this moment because she was thinking about these things.

Qin Xiaonan looked at the mermaid in front of him who had completely transformed into a human form, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Although he was not sure about the reason behind this change, he had to admit that the girl curled up on the carpet at this moment was more in line with his aesthetic than her previous half-human, half-fish appearance.

The mermaid's appearance is indeed stunning, but its inhuman characteristics always bring a sense of alienation.

And at this moment she——

Her wet black hair stuck to her porcelain-white cheeks, and the corners of her eyes, red from crying, had a hint of pink.

The most touching thing was the pair of dark eyes that had returned to their round pupils. When they looked at him with tears in their eyes, they no longer had the sharp edge of the past. He really appreciated the pure beauty of this kind of human beings more than the illustrations of fantasy creatures. However, this preference was obviously not the focus at this moment.
Qin Xiaonan pulled a stool and sat next to the mermaid. She said, "What's wrong? Why are you crying so sadly? I didn't see you like this when you were first captured. Besides, we didn't abuse you at all."

The mermaid is in this state now. It is very likely that she has been abandoned by her mother and can no longer expect her mother to come and save her.

Now if you want to continue living, you have to rely on yourself.

She bit her lower lip hard, forcing the tears back. When she looked up again, her eyes, still red, were now filled with a stubborn look.

"Nothing," she deliberately raised her chin, her voice still slightly hoarse from crying, "I'm just a little excited after transforming."

"I'm glad you're alright. Go to bed early."

After the mermaid made such a fuss, it was getting late, so Qin Xiaonan went back to her bedroom to sleep.
-
The view comes to the surface of the Red Sea.

Azir stood on top of the giant pillar, leisurely watching Qingli sorting out the harvest.

These days, he watched coldly as the scarlet corals clung to the pillars like living things—each cluster of corals flowed with a strange mucus, and the sand-gold runes dimmed wherever they passed.

At this moment, the entire lower half of the towering pillar was covered in coral, looking from afar like a towering tree entwined with blood vessels. Even more bizarre, the sea below had turned completely blood red, and twisted shadows occasionally flashed through the surging waves.

"Finally you can't hold it back anymore?"

Azir's golden eyes narrowed slightly. He saw the sea surface suddenly bulge ahead, a thousand-meter-high curtain of water rising vertically, like a piece of blue silk being pulled by an invisible giant hand.

Through the crystal water curtain, a huge shadow gradually became clear - it was a giant sea dragon with a blood-red body, but it had some red bone spurs on its body.

Its ferocious head was as big as a cruise ship, its horns branched out like coral trees, and every bone spur dripped with corrosive mucus.

Its entire body is covered not with scales, but with constantly wriggling coral polyps. Whenever it moves its body, countless coral polyps fall off.

When the Red Sea Overlord clearly saw the golden figure on the top of the pillar, his chest covered with coral spurs suddenly expanded and he let out an earth-shaking roar.

"boom--"

A deafening roar ripped through the air, carrying with it the stench of deep-sea humus. Wherever the sound wave passed, the clouds were torn to shreds like fragile veils, birds within a ten-mile radius fell one after another, and countless towering columns of water exploded from the sea!

The Red Sea Overlord's ferocious snake head rose high, its neck covered in coral thorns fully extended. As its purple-black tongue moved in and out, the entire sea began to boil.

"Crash!"

The sea level dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye. In contrast, a blood-red wave wall that covered the sky and the sun rose up in front of Azir!

This thousand-meter-high wave is scarlet all over, with corrosive foam surging at the crest and tens of thousands of coral stingers swimming in the wave body.

Before the huge waves hit him, the pillars of sand under Azir's feet made a "cracking" sound as they could not bear the weight. The corals clinging to them lit up with a strange red light at the same time, actually cooperating with the waves to form a fatal situation!

With a roar from the Red Sea Overlord, the blood-red wave wall came crashing down with overwhelming force.
