A dull longsword and a heartbroken villager

"Are you alright?" Misala asked, looking at Nisa as she slowly landed.

Nisha, riding a white horse, looked a little weak.

“It’s nothing.” Nisha shook her head.

But as soon as she dismounted, Nisha lost her balance and even fell headfirst to the ground.

"Thump—" Nisha fell to the ground, and then everything went black as she fainted.

"Treat her to some treatment," Misala instructed the people around her.

One person defeated three bronze-level beings; that's truly remarkable, almost like a legendary story.

Just like that bandaged man said, Nisha's strength will become incredibly terrifying after she grows up.

Upgrading equipment is certainly important, but as Nisha continues to do quests with Misara, her strength is also skyrocketing.

Only after challenging countless beings that one looks up to can one achieve such a stunning victory as Nisa today.

"Get some rest." Misala picked up Nisa, while Pakaso ran straight into the sky and disappeared from everyone's sight.

After Nisha settled into her bed in the cabin, Misala ordered the ship to head towards the nearest city.

The destination was Vinipado.

The ship needs some supplies in order to continue intercepting sea creatures at sea.

"Buzz—" Misala's bracelet emitted an electrical sound.

"How's the Misala mission going?" a voice came from the bracelet.

That was the bandaged man's voice.

In fact, Misala didn't know much about the leader of her organization.

Even his name is unknown; he is usually referred to as the leader.

“Chief,” Misala replied respectfully.

“Nissa defeated three sea creatures and stopped this group.”

"She's injured, isn't she?" the bandaged man said calmly.

“Yes,” Misala reported.

To be honest, it's quite normal to get injured when facing three sea creatures.

“Nissa probably won’t be able to fight in the short term,” Misala told the bandaged man, expressing her concerns.

"It doesn't matter; there won't be any more sea creatures appearing in the short term," the bandaged man said confidently.

“Chief…” Misala hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

"Just ask whatever you want."

"Why would sea creatures appear? Aren't they the most reclusive bronze race?"

Compared to angels and demons, sea creatures are recorded less and appear less often in front of humans.

It can be said that the sea people are an extremely conservative bronze race.

Unlike angels and demons, they don't come into contact with Black Iron species very frequently.

“The sea creatures are looking for something,” the bandaged man told Misala.

The bandaged man didn't seem to have any intention of hiding anything.

Looking for something?

"To be precise, it's about finding someone," the bandaged man said calmly.

"The descendants of the Bronze race and humans."

"What?" Misala's expression froze instantly.

Humans...can have offspring with the Bronze race?

This is simply unbelievable.

"Is it strange?" the bandaged man asked.

“It does seem strange,” Misala nodded in reply.

"Anything is possible, Misala."

“You must remember this,” the bandaged man said earnestly to Misala.

"But...why did the Bronze Race actually appear in the world for the sake of this hybrid offspring?"

This is another point of confusion for Misala.

"Do you know what hybrids are in the eyes of bronze-type races?"

“…” Misala fell silent.

The bandaged man on the other side of the bracelet seemed to have anticipated Misala's silence.

"It's a disgrace."

"A disgrace that must be eradicated no matter what."

"At the same time, hybrids are also a threat to the Iron race," the bandaged man said in a deep voice.

“Threat…” Misala was stunned.

"Isn't someone who could become a demon king at any moment a threat to the Black Iron race?" the bandaged man asked.

“You’re right.” Misala did not deny what the bandaged man said.

Despite having ordinary human blood, it also has ordinary bronze blood.

No one can guarantee what will happen to this child later in life.

"Go and nip this threat in the bud."

"But we must also prevent the sea creatures from appearing in front of humans, as the bronze race will bring unnecessary fear to the world."

“Please tell me what the child looks like,” Misala said.

"Blue hair, with some features of sea creatures," the bandaged man said.

"Blue hair is very rare, so you should be able to find it easily."

"I understand." It would be hard not to find this feature.

But why would the leader know so much...?

Misala remained silent, realizing that her thoughts were somewhat dangerous.

"Chief, how do you know so much about this information?" Misala asked instinctively.

She didn't know why she asked that question.

Misala believed this would inevitably anger the bandaged man.

But Misala was wrong; the bandaged man was not angry.

"I don't think you want to know why I have such a comprehensive intelligence network," the bandaged man sighed.

"But this is the only thing I can do to help you."

"leader…"

"Thank you for your hard work," the bandaged man said softly.

“It’s not hard work…” Misala shook her head.

Misala realized she was overthinking things.

Since he was able to become the leader of the "Great Enemy of God", he must have methods that ordinary people do not have.

Given the already mysterious nature of the bandaged man, it's not surprising that he also possesses an extensive intelligence network.

"Then I'll hang up now," the bandaged man said.

"learn."

"Beep—" The bracelet made that sound.

Then the bandaged man's voice abruptly stopped.

"A new mission?" Misala hadn't expected that this time there would be more than one mission.

The goal is to prevent the sea creatures from appearing in front of humans, and at the same time, find and kill the half-sea creature and half-human hybrid.

It's a rather tedious task, but not impossible to complete.

The thought of wanting to kill a child made Misala feel conflicted.

This is an action that is difficult to judge as right or wrong, but it is undoubtedly a cold-blooded approach.

Misala looked towards the cabin and sighed helplessly.

It seems that I'll have to do this myself.

Misala understood perfectly well that Nisa would never allow the “Great Enemy of God” to wipe out a child who hadn’t done anything.

However, Misala had a deep question.

Since the descendants of humans are a disgrace to the Bronze race.

So why was this child able to escape from the Bronze Race? In the deep sea, in places inaccessible to humans, live sea creatures that have existed since ancient times.

Sea creatures possess powerful physiques and master a magical system closely related to the ocean, which more than doubles their combat power when fighting in the sea.

In other places, sea creatures might not be able to defeat angels and demons.

However, in the sea, sea creatures can completely overpower angels and demons.

This is the reason why sea creatures can associate with angels and demons.

A city built of bluestone in the deep sea is the last habitat of the sea creatures.

The seawater is kept out of the city, an invisible barrier protecting the entire Bluestone City.

Sea creatures certainly love seawater, but many things cannot get wet.

Therefore, daily life must be carried out in places where the seawater does not flood.

In this era, the number of sea creatures has dwindled.

This situation also occurs with angels and demons.

However, the sea creatures are clearly more obvious.

One very important reason is that sea creatures value the purity of bloodlines.

Any impure bloodline is considered a stain on the entire sea race.

The sea creatures will stop at nothing to eradicate this existence.

They cannot be allowed to continue living.

This shows how much importance sea creatures place on bloodlines, and how few their offspring are.

In this city built of bluestone, there is a magnificent palace.

That is where the king of the sea dwells.

The sea king, seated on his throne, looked down upon the tiny beings before him.

"Humans, just as you said, our own kind is being blocked."

"But there's something different from what I told you."

"The three of our kinsmen we sent out have all been killed," the Sea King said, his voice stern yet dignified.

The entire palace trembled slightly.

“I didn’t expect that either,” a polite, masked man said in a relaxed tone.

Despite being just a human, he stood before the king of the sea creatures without the slightest fear.

Most importantly, this king of the sea creatures did not seem to look down on this human.

The human was dressed in a neat tailcoat and held a cane in his hand.

He looked exactly like a noble gentleman.
