“I was right, you were in cahoots with Caer.”
With a bloodthirsty expression and a chilling glare, Lanna faced the Dark Knight. She was still firmly holding her two curved daggers despite sustaining several injuries and fighting for twenty whole minutes.
Ten meters away from her, Leiu stood straight and held the greatsword with both hands, some of his equipment damaged and breathing uneven.
Turns out that fighting a mermaid is harder than he imagined. They are capable of flying and their scaly tails are very tough, almost impenetrable, at least in Lanna’s case.
The innocent-looking black-haired girl was an experienced fighter, agile and equipped with an arsenal of skills that resembled the assassin

We captured an intruder!”“Already?”Junilus, Exandel’s father, creased his brows as he looked at his subordinate. He motioned for him to bring the intruder, which was soon dragged into the center of this large hall that was as big as Caer’s house.Unlike the king of the Kujan Kingdom, Junilus enjoyed a lavish life and had the biggest house in the city. Additionally, he had a fair bit of subordinates under him, all loyal to him and him only. *System interference detected… attempting System Reboot…**... System Reboot Failure.

*You have chosen the Great Evil Quest!**The Optional Quest; Bitter Love, will be removed from your quest log.*Azem was consumed by hatred and rage, no longer rational enough to make the safest decision. The shock from seeing his mother killed right before his eyes was too much and he ended up madly jumping at the Dark Knight.Unfortunately for him, he wasn’t strong enough to contend against Leiu. Sure, he was hiding his true power, however, he was still too emotional and weak to kill the Dark Knight.A shining silver spear in his hand as he lunged at Leiu, but the latter vanished from his sight and by the next second, struck him from behind, knocking the mermaid on the ground.Since Aze
In the grand hall inside of Junilus’ home, Caer was the only still standing. He had multiple injuries on his body but he eventually managed to emerge victorious.An azure lengthy spear with a small dragon twirled around it was currently pointed at Junilus’ chest, an inch away from penetrating his skin and bursting his heart.“Junilus Prasinus, you stand accused of the following crimes; Treason, colluding with the evil demons race, and attacking the King of the Kujan Kingdom. I hereby sentence the Prasinus Family to a public execution.”Junilus Prasinus was the second strongest mermaid in the Kujan Kingdom but he wasn’t able to kill Caer. The King was able to defeat him and all his subordinates, which was the worst possible scenario.<
“Brave citizens of the Kujan Tribe! You stand here as witnesses! All of you… now and here, to witness the execution of those who dared to try and ruin us! Ruin our long-lasting peace and wreak havoc! We cannot forgive those who side with demons! With the evil! We are a blessed race and we will not give up our home!”Caer spoke with a loud voice, reverberating across the whole plaza and entering the ears of everyone present. He pointed at the Prasinus Family, all forced to kneel, their limbs bound by chains and their heads helplessly waiting for the sharp and wide guillotine to fall.It was supposed to be a cruel sight yet the mermaids were thrilled, cheering for the King and ushering him to begin. Junilus was barely conscious, Exandel was gritting his teeth and glaring at Caer, whereas his two younger brothers were
“Mister! Mister, we need your help! Mister!”Mira was calling for the dazed Junilus but the mermaid did not reply, he stood there, gazing at the battling Lanna and Caer.“He’s not listening! What do we do?”The frantic witch turned to Leiu for help but he didn’t try snapping Junilus out of his daze.“We’ll have to do it ourselves.”“What? We can’t!”Mira tried to stop the Dark Knight but to no avail, he jumped toward the King. If Caer defeats Lanna then they have no hope for living. The only logical option is to try and assist
“Hey… hey!”With Caer busy with Junilus, Leiu walked to the fallen Lanna and called for her. He lightly slapped her cheek multiple times until her eyes fluttered and she woke up.She was about to lunge at him but he calmed her down and said,“It’s me… it’s fine.”He lifted her now human body and walked to a safer spot, where the collateral damage from the two battling monsters won’t reach them.“What happened to the King?”Leiu helped the mermaid sit properly and gave her a Health Potion, which she downed in a breath.<
After spending close to one minute in silence, weighing his choices, Leiu nodded his head. The two players are officially cooperating, though one of them was badly hurt. “So that’s the big baddy, huh.” Vins walked closer to the airborne-fighting Caer and Junilus, seemingly unafraid of being hit by the flying rubbles and falling buildings. The destruction didn’t just affect the central plaza of the Kujan Kingdom, it demolished about a fifth of the city and what was worse was than the two monsters were still going at it. “He still has over 40,000 Health left and he’s busy with the other mermaid. This is our chance.” Vins turned toward the silent Mira and, with a wide smile, asked,
