Wizard, I Have Another World

Chapter 97 Mermaids (Please add to your favorites)

Endless seas.

Two Kirk boats floated on the water.

This is a single-deck vessel with square sails and a robust hull, designed with stability and cargo capacity in mind.

It was typically used for maritime trade or exploration.

"Whoosh!"

Ripples spread across the water in the distance as several dilapidated Galawa boats sped along, skimming the surface.

The Galawa was a warship primarily powered by oars, excelling in speed and maneuverability.

They were often used in naval battles or for plundering.

Merchant ships usually do not sail alone; they often travel in groups of various other vessels.

This was clearly a group of experienced maritime merchants.

"captain!"

A man on the Galawa boat shouted:

"We've spotted some ruins on the water ahead; it looks like a merchant ship that was attacked by pirates. Should we take a detour?"

The Endless Sea is not only home to all sorts of strange sea monsters and legendary creatures, but also to pirates.

Pirates are often more dangerous than the former two.

"Pirates usually don't travel the same route twice in a short period of time," the captain said after a moment's thought, waving his hand.

"Let's go take a look."

"yes!"

With the oars swaying, the heavy ship, propelled by a strange force, sailed towards the sea ahead.

Not long after.

On the calm water surface appeared some broken planks, floating boxes, and floating corpses.

"There are living people!"

The lookout, possessing the Eagle Eye Seal and astonishing eyesight, spotted a slowly wriggling figure among the many floating corpses.

"go."

The captain spoke:

"Bring him up, see if he sobers up, and ask him what happened."

Immediately afterwards, a small sailboat was launched and rushed towards the floating corpses. The sailor came closer and poked the corpses with his oar.

"Damn it!"

He turned around and looked in the direction of the lookout:

"Dude, that's a corpse that's long since cold. You must be seeing things."

"Be careful!"

The sea breeze brought a gasp, and the sailor turned around abruptly to see a dark figure wielding a harpoon rushing towards him.

"puff!"

A sharp harpoon pierced his forehead, breaking through the skull, and with a sudden flick, brain matter and blood splattered out.

The sailor swayed and slowly collapsed.

A figure was reflected in the pupils that had not yet lost their vitality.

He was killed by a monster with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a fish.

The monster's skin was a dark blue, covered with fish scales, as if it had been corrupted by the dark power of the deep sea, exuding a cold and cruel aura.

Its eyes were like cold blades, flashing with ferocity, madness, and bloodlust, devoid of any reason.

"hiss……"

"hiss!"

The monster opened its mouth, and its tongue resembled the forked tongue of a venomous snake, long and forked, hissing.

"What is it?"

"Mermaids?"

The monster that suddenly appeared looked exactly like the legendary mermaid, although the legend says that mermaids possess intelligence.

And it,

Obviously not!

The captain frowned.

Encountering unfamiliar monsters in the endless sea is common, but a strange sense of unease made him subconsciously wave his hand.

"Gunners, prepare!"

"yes!"

"fire!"

"boom!"

The scorching shell bounced out, flew straight for over a hundred meters, and slammed into the merman.

moment.

The violent force blasted the merman into a bloody pulp.

"call……"

The captain's expression relaxed slightly:

"He's not very strong, and he's too stupid to dodge."

"Um?"

Before he could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

But then, the calm water surface suddenly rippled, as if countless fish were frantically swimming in a basin.

"Whoosh!"

"Swish!"

Mermaids burst out of the water, leaping several meters high and arcing through the air as they headed straight for the ship.

Numerous merfolk leaped and dived, causing ripples in the water, and a chilling killing intent rushed in first, sending shivers down one's spine.

quantity,

More than a hundred.

There are probably over a thousand!

More than a thousand frenzied monsters rapidly approached the ship, and the faces of the people on board instantly turned ashen.

"Turn around!"

The captain roared:

"Turn around quickly!"

The ship was too big to turn around. By the time the ship turned around, the merfolk had already rushed forward and were climbing onto the deck.

"Drive them away!"

"quick!"

All the sailors rushed onto the deck, brandishing various weapons and stabbing at the merfolk below, roaring repeatedly.

"Whoosh!"

A merman leaped several meters onto the deck, brandishing a steel fork and thrusting it at the sailor in front of him.

Once one group appears, another will follow, and more and more merfolk rush onto the deck.

Only then did everyone see their appearance clearly.

The upright merman is over two meters tall, with upper body muscles as hard as iron. Every movement is full of power. Its fish scales are like armor, which can ignore most sharp weapons. Its facial features look like wax figures that have been forcibly pieced together after melting. Its eyes, nose and mouth are distorted and strange.

Even more frightening is that

They exude a suffocating sense of oppression, filled with madness, bloodlust, and chaos.

Slaughter,

It seems to be their instinct.

"puff!"

"what!"

Screams and cries of alarm rang out continuously.

These merfolk each possessed the strength of a knight's squire, and were fearless, mad, and cruel.

Ordinary sailors who came into contact with them collapsed like straws.

Upon seeing this, the captain, along with the second mate and other knights, joined the battle, charging towards the group of merfolk with their weapons in hand.

The situation is currently at a stalemate, but it will eventually change as more and more merfolk arrive.

"Set sail quickly!"

"sail!"

The captain roared, a sense of impending danger making his heart pound.

"boom!"

The water exploded with a roar, and a terrifying black shadow leaped out of the water, its outstretched body almost blotting out the sky.

"What is this?"

Some of the sailors were dumbfounded.

immediately.

"boom!"

The enormous object fell from the sky and slammed heavily onto the ship, causing the Kirk to tilt and sway wildly.

Furthermore, enormous tentacles emerged from underwater, like chains, tightly binding the hull.

It was pulled little by little towards the seabed.

"escape!"

"Run!"

In the blink of an eye, the main ship sank to the bottom of the sea, and the captain, Dafu, and others were completely powerless to fight back.

The other ships fled in a frenzy.

"boom!"

Huge waves surged up on the water.

Amidst the waves, merfolk and terrifying monsters surged towards the ship.

After several waves crashed, the ships collapsed one after another. When the sea calmed down, only some floating planks and corpses remained.

Beneath the floating corpse, merfolk were tearing it apart, devouring its internal organs and flesh.

underwater.

Countless dark shadows roamed about, like countless weeds, densely packed together.

…………

A certain sea area.

The calm water parted to the sides under the influence of an invisible force, revealing a passageway.

A burly merman, nearly three meters tall, slowly emerged from it.

Its eyes were azure and clear, like gemstones, or like blue ice crystals that never melt.

Its hair was like tentacles from the seabed, twisted and wild, each strand seemingly filled with power and killing intent.

After leaving the seawater, its lower body gradually transformed into legs, allowing it to walk on the ground and enter an island.

There are many buildings on the island, which clearly indicate that many residents once lived there.

now,

The building collapsed.

The body lay scattered across the ruins.

Mermaids lay sprawled on the corpses, gnawing on flesh and blood, their intestines and entrails discarded carelessly beside them.

"Splat!"

"Snapped!"

The burly merman trudged through the mud, step by step, until he finally stopped in front of a shivering young man.

"Humans".

It lowered its head and spoke slowly:

"I need a mentor."

"You...you..." The young man stammered, his eyes wide with horror.

"You can talk?"

"Of course." The burly merman grinned, a strange smile appearing on his face.

"You are not experiencing auditory hallucinations."

…………

Tortuga Island.

Pirate Island.

Dark shadows, obscuring the sky, surged in from all directions, turning the already gloomy sky into complete darkness.

An invisible, chilling atmosphere permeated the air.

Pirates, busy in the tavern, rooms, and stables, emerged one after another, staring blankly at the sky.

"What happened?"

"What's wrong?"

"Suddenly, it got dark. Could it be that Free Port is about to launch a surprise attack on us?"

"Are you kidding me!"

The crowd murmured amongst themselves, quietly gathering around each other.

Even pirates who don't trust each other will instinctively band together when faced with the unknown.

There are many people.

Only then can the power be great.

Right in the center of the island.

The pirate king, his face grim, approached the door step by step, holding the wine glass in his hand.

"Buzz..."

The sword at his waist seemed to sense something and trembled violently.

"Eltis".

The pirate king gripped the hilt of his sword, his eyes gleaming with intense fighting spirit.

"What's meant to happen will happen. It's been over a decade since we fought side-by-side together, hasn't it?"

"today!"

"You can finally see blood again!"

"Clang!"

The bloodthirsty monstrous sword Erdis was drawn with a clang, a crimson gleam appearing in the arena, radiating a sharp killing intent.

"Rush!"

The Pirate King roared to the sky:

"Rush out of here, escape this place, and tell everyone that the will of the evil god has been restored!"

"Kill them!"

With a roar, he leaped dozens of meters, his long sword flashing, and countless streaks of blood-red sword light rained down.

It also illuminates the monsters hidden in the darkness.

A monkey over ten meters tall covered in white fur; a bizarre, twisted shark that looks like a fusion of multiple organisms; and a terrifying monster with segmented limbs like an insect but with a pair of heads.

terror!

Surprising!

Madness and chaos intertwined.

"boom!"

A violent collision resounded, and the roar echoed in all directions.

One day later.

The darkness dissipated.

The once prosperous Tortuga Island, a holy land in the hearts of countless pirates, has been reduced to ruins.

In the very center of the ruins.

The broken Ertis plunged diagonally into the ground, and the Pirate King, his eyes glaring angrily, lay on the ground, lifeless.

The sea breeze howled, stirring up dust, fallen leaves, and flying curls of hair; the gentle sound of the wind was like a pirate's funeral dirge.

"A free port".

A massive figure appeared in the arena, standing on the corpse of the Pirate King, and looking towards Free Port.

"Finally, I can go back."

Catherine had become a follower of the Lord of Dawn.

As a wizard's partner, I was influenced by what I saw and heard, and most of them were abelievers, or at most, they were non-believers.

But judging from Catherine's appearance, she seems somewhat like a fanatic, a believer who dedicates everything to the gods.

"Hybel never mentioned it, and perhaps she doesn't know either."

Carl shook his head and focused his attention on the present.

Few wizards have partners who believe in gods, but there are some, and they are not worth his time and energy.

Before him lay the skeleton of a legendary creature.

Only bones.

It is a collection of the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce.

This skeleton belongs to "Cerberus," a legendary creature with three deformed heads.

Each of its heads can spew attacks of different attributes, and it also possesses a certain degree of intelligence.

"Multi-headed creatures are a major taboo for flesh-and-blood wizards."

Karl dropped a piece of bone into the container, observed the changes, and at the same time opened a book for comparison.

"Transforming into a multi-headed creature can easily lead to schizophrenia. Unless one cultivates a special kind of mental wizard, it is not recommended."

Schizophrenia?

He shook his head and closed the book.

Unless one is a nightmare wizard, no one would willingly split their consciousness, and nightmare wizards are even rarer than bloodline wizards.

Peeping into dreams,

It is easy to attract the attention of the gods.

Once targeted by the will of a deity, even a mere aftershock is beyond the resistance of a formal wizard.

"However, it's fine if it's just used to analyze bloodline models and increase experience in bloodline witchcraft."

Carl had no intention of turning himself into a three-headed dog.

With the remains of legendary creatures to analyze, the path of the bloodline wizard is becoming increasingly clear to him.

Once you have enough mental strength, you can choose a legendary creature to transform into.

…………

Brotherhood of the Sickles.

In the spacious hall, there was a long bronze table, with four high-backed chairs on each side.

A heavy stone chair stands in the center.

Every chair here signifies one's identity within the fraternity.

And the stone chair,

It belongs exclusively to the head of the association.

Grand Knight of the Peak, Blood-Red Scythe Aheng! A taciturn dictator!

It is said that

This man, who carries a thin line of Grand Duke blood, is the only one in Free Port who has the potential to become a legend.

Unlike the Dragon King Merchant Guild and the Sea God Society, the Sickle Brotherhood has a diverse membership, with many members being former street thugs.

Because of their own experiences, they tend to act in a more disorganized manner.

Its reputation is also poor.

Even among the elders of the Brotherhood, there are those who speak rudely and are quick to anger and resort to violence.

"Monroe has arrived."

The candlelight flickered, and the Sixth Elder spoke in a muffled voice:

"He wants our funding. If the leader is willing to take action, he can give up 30% of the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce's shares."

"Thirty percent?" The Second Elder sneered.

"That crazy woman Emma is not easy to deal with, not to mention that several great knights have appeared, at least half of them."

"Impossible." Elder Four, Henry the Eagle, gently shook his head:

"Even if we could do it, the Sea God Society wouldn't just watch us grow bigger; they would definitely intervene to stop us."

"Why don't we sit down and negotiate?"

"Talk?" the Second Elder grumbled.

"Henry, you're always so cowardly. You can sit down and talk about anything. What's the point of having us then?"

"Never forget, your own strength is the sharpest spear! It's also the capital you have to sit down and negotiate!"

"Alas!" someone sighed.

"I originally thought that nothing would happen to the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce, and that splitting it into three parts would be the best outcome."

"I didn't expect this..."

"A pharmacist named Karl has suddenly appeared."

"Yes." Fourth Elder Henry's eyes flickered.

"Actually, Karl had already agreed to join our Brotherhood of the Scythe, but unfortunately..."

"Oh!" The Sixth Elder turned his head:

"Is that so?"

"Yes." Henry nodded.

"I promised to give Karl a Shadowwalker sign, but little Heri had her eye on the sign at the time."

"so……"

He shrugged, looking helpless.

Little Heri?

Everyone looked at the Second Elder.

They knew little Heri's personality very well. Although Henry didn't say it explicitly, it was definitely because of the Second Elder.

If it works out...

The Brotherhood of Scythes will not only gain an excellent apothecary, but also a great knight.

And not just any ordinary great knight.

moment.

The crowd looked at the Second Elder with a hint of resentment.

"The future is unpredictable. Who could have imagined he would become a Grand Knight?" The Second Elder said, his expression unchanged.

"The problem now is, how should we handle this? You don't want the Dragon King Merchant Guild to rise again, do you?"

"I suggest that Henry call Carl out, and then we'll have a proper talk with him."

When he mentioned the word "talk," he gave a cold smile.

"Henry's son, As, has always maintained contact with the apothecary, Karl. It shouldn't be difficult for him to summon the person."

"Fink!" Henry's expression changed, and he abruptly stood up:

"What do you want to do?"

"Nothing," Second Elder Fink said.

"It's just correcting a mistake I made back then."

"No way!" Henry rejected the suggestion outright.

"If you're going to talk, talk properly. Karl isn't an ordinary Grand Knight. Being too forceful will only provoke him."

"and……"

"As has always handled business matters for the Brotherhood, and his reputation is extremely important and cannot be compromised."

"It's alright," said Second Elder Fink.

"I'm just borrowing your name. If anything goes wrong, you can blame it on me."

"You..." Henry's face showed anger, then his heart skipped a beat:

"You've already made your move!"

Fink shrugged.

Dragon King Chamber of Commerce.

station.

"lady."

A maid rushed over, her face filled with panic, and whispered in Emma's ear:

"What about the young master..."

"rub!"

Before the other person could finish speaking, Emma suddenly stood up from her seat and strode out.

In the heart of a dense forest, there was a simple courtyard with an artificial pond in the center.

In the center of the pool, a figure lay prone.

The figure was bound by chains, and even though he struggled desperately and injured himself, he could not break free.

"Hiss..."

"eat!"

"eat!"

He growled and howled in the water, completely disregarding the fact that struggling would only worsen his injuries.

"Da da..."

Footsteps sounded.

Emma appeared in the arena with a gloomy face, and when she saw the figure in the pool, she couldn't help but look astonished.

And there is that indelible grief.

"My child..."

Her voice trembled:

What's wrong with you?

Dragon King Zimerman does not only have Lula as a daughter, but also a son.

Unfortunately.

Their youngest son, before he could become a knight, contracted the Waterborne disease, and everyone knew he was dead.

Those who contract waterborne illness will surely die; this is the ironclad rule of Free Harbor.

but now,

The ironclad rule seems to have been broken.

The Dragon King's son was not dead; he was simply trapped in the pool and seemed to have lost his mind.

"What happened?"

Emma gritted her teeth and roared:

"Who gave you permission to treat my child like this?"

"lady."

A middle-aged man in a white robe hurried over and bowed, saying:

"The young master has changed too much in the last few days, and he's become very irritable, so we had no choice but to chain him up."

"Unlock the chains!" Emma's face darkened.

"Open!"

"..." The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then nodded:

"Yes."

He waved his hand, and someone immediately stepped forward to unlock the chains, while cautiously watching the figure in the water.

"Hiss..."

The "young master" in the water had long hair that was loose, and his eyes were filled with bestiality as he scanned the crowd.

The large crowd around him made him instinctively hesitant to make any rash moves, but the impulse in his heart never ceased.

"My child..."

Emma, ​​her eyes brimming with tears, slowly took two steps forward:

What's wrong with you?

People who suffer from "water disease" will lose water rapidly and eventually turn into a sticky, unknown liquid.

To save her son, Emma had a special medicine prepared that could continuously replenish lost fluids.

They remained immersed in this pool of water, which was irrigated with medicinal solution.

This brew,

It's been several years!

"Hiss..."

"Whoosh!"

Emma's approach seemed to provoke the 'young master's' ferocity, and he suddenly leaped out of the water and pounced.

"what!"

"Madam, be careful!"

The crowd gasped in surprise.

"Splash..."

Several vines sprouted from the ground, as nimble as long snakes, and tightly bound the young master who was rushing towards them.

Control the vines!

This is Emma's unique talent, given that she has the blood of a wood elf.

"My child."

Emma looked sad and reached out to stroke the young master's cheek, tears welling up in her eyes.

No matter what.

Her grief could not move a person who had lost their rationality; the young master continued to struggle desperately, roaring incessantly.

"eat!"

"Hungry……"

"My child is hungry." Emma turned to the middle-aged man, her voice turning cold.

"Go and get some food."

"Yes."

The middle-aged man bowed his head in agreement.

soon.

Various foods were placed around the pool, including fresh fruit, soft and sweet pastries, and various cooked dishes.

Emma manipulated the vines, gently placing the young master in the water, and softly spoke:

"Child, eat!"

"Eat whatever you want. With your mother here, you don't need to be afraid."

With that, he lightly waved his sleeve, scattering the vines.

"Hiss..." The young master hissed strangely in the water, but instead of looking at the food around him, he looked at the maid beside him.

"eat!"

"Hungry……"

His eyes were filled with greed and desire, brimming with inhuman bestiality and cruelty.

Emma slowly frowned.

"lady."

The middle-aged man hurriedly stepped forward and whispered:

"I don't know why, but ever since the young master's body changed, he has developed a kind of beastly desire."

"They are especially sensitive to fresh flesh and blood."

"Fresh flesh and blood?" Emma mused, her gaze following her son's as it fell upon the maid.

"lady!"

The maid seemed to have guessed something; her face turned deathly pale, she stammered, and then abruptly turned and fled.

"Whoosh!"

A vine shot out like lightning, tightly binding the fleeing maid and pulling her in front of the young master.

"Child, eat!"

Emma's voice was gentle:

"Since you like it, then eat it."

"Hiss..."

The young master's eyes widened, he hissed, and with a low growl, he lunged at the screaming maid.

"puff!"

"what!"

"No!"

"what……"

The screams grew weaker and weaker until they disappeared completely.

Blood mixed into the pool, and the still-beating internal organs were pulled out by the "young master" and swallowed whole.

The maid's eyes widened in fury as she stared intently at the sky. The next moment, her neck was torn open, and blood gushed out.

The servants around were terrified, but they simply turned away and didn't look; no one dared to stop them.

"Cannibalism?"

Emma thought for a moment and said:

"Many people in the slums can't afford to raise children, but you can buy them for a little money. You can buy some regularly to feed my children."

"..." The middle-aged man opened his mouth:

"Yes."

"Take good care of him." Emma glanced at the 'young master' one last time, her eyes still filled with affection.

"I'll come see him again when I have time."

"Yes."

It should be a middle-aged man.

At this time.

Lula rushed over upon hearing the news:

"Mother, what happened to my brother?"

"You even remember you have a younger brother?" Emma scoffed at this.

Go see for yourself!

Lula sighed.

She understood her mother's feelings, but she did not agree with Emma's actions. She took a step forward and saw the scene in the pool, and her expression changed again.

"What's going on?"

"Miss."

The middle-aged man's eyes flickered, and he said in a low voice:

"The maid accidentally fell into the water. The young master is not human right now, so we dare not stop him."

"You..." The scene of cannibalism made Lula tremble. After her gaze fell on her younger brother, she said:

"What happened to my brother?"

"About two weeks ago, the young master's health changed for some unknown reason," the middle-aged man said.

"When he's in the water, the young master's legs turn into the shape of a fish, and his body grows more scales. His originally thin body also develops some muscles. I initially thought it was a good thing..."

"Who knows..."

"Ugh!"

Lu La Mian looked bewildered.

Mermaids!

My brother has turned into a monster!
