A dull longsword and a heartbroken villager

“I never imagined that the ‘Great Enemy of Gods’ would have another member capable of fighting against a Bronze-ranked individual,” the masked gentleman said with a shrug, his tone tinged with helplessness.

“However, King of the Sea Clan, do not be impatient. Even if you do not kill that child…”

“The people who are ‘God’s greatest enemy’ will also be killed,” the masked gentleman said.

"No, those who tarnish the bloodline of the sea race must be executed by the sea race themselves!" roared the king of the sea race.

The reason the sea king did not underestimate this human was certainly not because of the human's strength.

And the behemoth that this human relies on.

If the sea creatures dare to lay a hand on this human, they will face a tremendous threat.

"Well, I can understand your obsession."

“However, with the ‘Great Enemy of God’ around, it will be a bit difficult for you to find that child in a human city,” the masked gentleman said.

"It doesn't matter, they're just sending out grunts."

"Oh, oh, oh, as expected of the King of the Sea Clan, he has guts." The masked gentleman understood what the King of the Sea Clan wanted to do.

He is going to send a group of strong sea creatures to kill that child.

Doffin is the sea creature's target this time.

This little girl, born of a sea creature and a human, has been kept very well hidden.

The mother, the human being, has long since died.

However, the sea people, who were fathers, hid their children well.

No one around Dove realized that he was of mixed race.

However, as a consequence, Dove was unable to leave the house.

Unfortunately, Dove was recently reported.

The masked gentleman informed the Sea King that there was a half-blood in Bluestone City.

Upon learning that there was a half-blood in his city, the Sea King was furious.

Most importantly, this mixed-race child has grown up so much.

For a full ten years, no one discovered it! How could the King of the Sea Clan not be enraged?

For the sea creatures, such a mixed-race child is a mistake to be born.

Is there anyone who would dare to raise her?

Dove's father was undoubtedly killed.

But how Doffin, this unarmed little girl, managed to escape from a group of Bronze-level beings remains a mystery.

It's important to understand that Dove didn't inherit the powerful strength of the Bronze Saints at all; instead, he inherited the weakness of humanity.

He barely managed to pull out Dove from Bluestone City and struggled in the surging sea current.

It was washed all the way to the beach in Vinicabado.

Dove retained some of the sea creatures' powerful ability to move around in the sea; otherwise, a normal person would have died long ago, traveling from the deep sea all the way to the beach.

After all, even ordinary fish may not be able to survive being washed ashore from the deep sea.

“However, since the ‘Great Enemy of the Gods’ has someone capable of defeating the Bronze Race involved, the Sea King should still exercise caution.” The masked gentleman bowed respectfully and said.

Sea creatures are certainly not mindless fools.

The king of the sea creatures was very clear-headed; he had absolutely no trust in the human before him.

It would be strange for a human to tell themselves that there are mixed-race people in the city.

"Let's go, human, I'm not in a good mood right now," the Sea King said in a deep voice.

The sound reverberated among the surrounding stone pillars.

"Understood, I'll take my leave now." The masked gentleman bowed and retreated in small, hurried steps, looking somewhat comical.

Unfortunately, the king of the sea creatures found it utterly ridiculous.

Once the masked gentleman was out of sight, the Sea King slammed his fist on the armrest of his throne in a fit of rage.

"Thump—" The hard handrail shattered into powder in an instant.

"Kill that half-breed! Kill that half-breed for me!!!" the Sea King roared.

The sea creatures lurking in the shadows nodded obediently.

"Understood, our King."

The Sea King is by no means weak; he could even defeat a typical Silver-ranked creature.

Despite this, the king of the sea creatures still dared not lay a hand on that human.

Behind that human was not just one Silver Race, but a whole group of Silver Races.

The sea creatures, who had long lived in seclusion, had no idea why so many silver-blooded beings would unite together.

More importantly, why would the Silver Races choose a human as their representative?

"The Alliance of the Gods..." The Sea King murmured the name after his anger subsided.

That's the name of the enormous thing behind the masked gentleman.

As the name suggests, this is an alliance of gods.

Even now, the Sea King still clearly remembers the scene when he first met the masked gentleman, and he remembers what the gentleman said.

"Greetings, Your Majesty, King of the Sea Clan."

—"Nice to meet you."

—"The little man's name is Jonathan, the representative of the 'United Gods.'"

At that moment, after the masked gentleman finished speaking, countless silver-colored phantoms lined up behind him, looking down at the sea king on the throne.

Dove lay by the window, too afraid to stick her head out.

The city inhabited by the sea people has an ancient feel to it, as if countless years have passed.

No further construction was carried out on the city.

Various sea creatures came and went on the streets, just like the streets of the Black Iron race's city.

Not all individuals of the sea creatures are large in size.

While many individuals are several stories tall, some are about the size of a normal human.

Dove's father was an individual roughly the size of a human.

"Dad, look outside, that person is really tall." Dove stared at the person outside with her big eyes.

"Don't stick your head out," Dove's father said in a deep voice.

He had been hiding Dove, but he didn't know how long he needed to keep it hidden, or how long he could keep it hidden.

Indeed, sea creatures place great importance on the purity of their bloodlines.

However, every race has its exceptions, and Doffin's father was not as fanatically obsessed with pure bloodlines as other sea creatures.

Otherwise, Dove's father would not have mated with a human and given birth to Dove.

Unfortunately, it turned out that the offspring of humans and bronze-type beings were destined to be tragic.

Not long after giving birth to Dove, Dove's mother passed away.

Unlike normal marine life, the Doves are able to live on land for extended periods of time.

However, being a sea creature, Dove's father could not live in a dry place for too long, so he had no way to take Dove anywhere.

After all, Dove was only a few years old and had no ability to live independently.

"Hmm..." Dove walked toward the house, feeling dejected.

Dove's living space consisted of just this one house.

The only sights visible were those of the sea creatures that came and went.

The days were dull, but that's how she was able to grow up peacefully.

Dove's father always had such a serious expression; Dove rarely saw a smile on his father's face.

Her lively personality was unconsciously suppressed.

Dove hugged his knees, his eyes glancing at the picture book next to him.

After thinking for a long time, she lay down on the ground and started flipping through the picture book.

Picture books are probably one of Dove's few forms of entertainment.

“I’m doing this for your own good…” Dove’s father noticed his daughter’s low spirits.

"I know." Although Dove was somewhat frustrated, he understood that it was for his own good.

"..." Dove's father squatted down and held Dove's short hair in his hands.

"When you grow up, your father will take you away." The father said solemnly, looking at his young daughter.

Regardless, as a father, he still couldn't bear to leave his young daughter by his side.

"..." Dove turned around and hugged his father.

All of this is frustrating.

Dove had thought that his life would continue like this forever.

However, things didn't go as planned, and an unexpected event occurred.

Dove hid in a corner of the house, holding her head in her hands, her body trembling slightly.

Someone arrived and found their father.

It is unknown who told the Sea King that there was a mixed-race child in this small house.

If the King of the Sea Clan were to find out about this, the situation would be completely different.

The sounds of arguing could be heard not far away.

Dove's father was trying to explain himself to the men who came.

If a fight breaks out, there is no chance of winning; the only option is to argue.

However, the argument didn't last long before it stopped.

After the sound stopped, Dove became even more frightened and trembled even more violently.

How is my father?

"Come on, Dove!" Dove cheered himself on.

She forced a smile, and although it was stiff, at least she wasn't so scared anymore.

"It will be alright, it will definitely be alright," Dove murmured.

No one comforted Dove, so she could only console herself.

Otherwise, the little girl's fragile mind would easily break down under such pressure.

"Bang—" The furniture in the house was rudely overturned.

Dove was so startled by the sudden noise that he stopped trembling.

"BOOM!!!" The entire house collapsed with a crash, as a tall sea creature swept it flat with one arm.

The house built of bluestone collapsed without much dust or smoke rising.

Everything in the ruins was clearly visible.

"The second person's presence has vanished," the sea creature who had leveled the house shouted in a deep voice.

Standing in front of Him was a sea creature who was only about 1.9 meters tall.

"Is he dead?" the sea creature asked coldly.

If the target dies, the aura will disappear.

But is that really the case?

The King of the Sea Clan sent himself out because he needed that half-breed child; He didn't want to leave empty-handed.
