"I am not your enemy—"
Upon seeing Roy unleash his magic, the beautiful mermaid monster was so frightened that tears welled up in her eyes.
Upon hearing the mermaid monster's intermittent voice, Roy's face lit up with satisfaction, and he quickly realized what was happening.
The golden lightning in Roy's palm dissipated, and he came to the shore, asking, "You're a heretic, aren't you?"
"I'm Mary, la la la la~" Mary's eyes lit up, and her little head popped out. Her upper body was human, and her lower body was fish. Her beautiful long light green hair was adorned with an exquisite seashell that covered her chest.
As she spoke, she hummed a melodious tune.
Compared to the alluring and bewitching voice of that enhanced species, Mary's voice was clear and pure, as if it could purify evil hearts. Especially her expression when she sang, which was silly and naive, making her look very easy to fool.
Roy gave a kind smile.
Intelligent monsters born in the dungeon are neither regarded as their own by other monsters nor rejected by humans; they are heretics abandoned by both worlds.
Roy actually had a good impression of these heretics. Without comparison, there is no difference. Compared to those cunning adventurers and those god heretics who were obsessed with entertainment, they were much simpler in their minds, believing in revenge and repaying kindness.
Unlike other heretics, Mary is a mermaid and can only stay in the "Water City".
Roy said, "Marilyn, I need to kill that monster. Can you help me find it?"
Mary's singing stopped abruptly, her face filled with fear. "Don't go! That tribe is terrifying!"
Roy frowned and pressed, "Do you know how that enhanced species came to be?"
Mary pursed her lips. "A long, long time ago, a group of humans kidnapped her. When she returned, she became terrifying. She would kill other monsters, eat magic stones, and become even stronger."
She gestured wildly, trying her best to describe the characteristics of those adventurers, her clumsiness endearing.
Listening to Mary's description, Roy quickly understood what had happened; it really was that crazy woman.
Freya's Familia captured the mermaid and brought it to the surface. Freya used her charm to control the monster, causing it to devour magic stones and forcibly transform into an "enhanced species".
Faced with this ferocious "kindred spirit," Mary, who was on the same floor, was terrified. So when Roy rushed in and went straight for him, she couldn't resist her curiosity and secretly followed him to observe.
"Trust me, I will definitely defeat her!" Roy stretched out his big hand and placed it on Mary's little head.
Mary's cheeks flushed slightly. This was the first human she had ever met. Roy's confidence and strength made her heart flutter. Even the ferocious "other" creature fled in terror when faced with Roy.
"Uh-huh!"
She nodded emphatically and agreed.
Roy connected his mind to the spatial ring, and with a gentle touch of his right hand, a light blue protective cloth appeared on his hand, which he then tied around his waist.
This is a water spirit cloth purchased before the expedition. It is infused with the magic of water spirits and has many special effects such as resistance to fire and faster swimming.
Roy jumped into the water and followed behind the other person.
Mary's level is only LV.2, but her swimming speed is faster than Roy's, who is equipped with a Water Sprite Protector.
Guided by Mary, the two of them darted across the river one after the other, and after about seven or eight minutes, they entered a huge cave.
Most of the area consists of lakes.
The enhanced mermaid, injured by Roy, is hunting monsters in this cave, consuming magic stones, and using their energy to heal its wounds and become stronger.
call out!
The lightning bolt transformed into a spear and landed in Roy's hand. He threw it directly, accompanied by a powerful whooshing sound, like a bolt of lightning striking the enhanced mermaid.
Hearing the commotion, the latter was startled and quickly dodged, narrowly avoiding the lightning spear. He had just been hit by Roy's magic.
They suffered a lot.
"I've been looking for you for ages." Golden lightning crackled as it emerged from Roy's palm.
Upon seeing Roy appear, the enhanced mermaid's face contorted in a ferocious expression, and its teeth ground together in a sharp, piercing sound.
"La la la la~"
At this moment, the enhanced mermaid's expression returned to calm, and it uttered a demonic sound.
The voices of ordinary merman monsters can only attract others, with a weak charm effect, but this enhanced species can even control others and monsters with its voice.
Monsters such as blue crabs, raider fish, and black water serpents came from all directions.
It was like a feast of monsters.
The difference is that this is controlled by monsters. In a very short time, more than two hundred monsters surrounded Roy, their eyes gleaming with ferocity and menacing intent.
"Roy—"
Mary hid behind Roy, trembling.
"It's okay!" Roy patted her shoulder, reassuring her in a gentle voice.
If Roy were at LV.2, surrounded by these monsters, he would surely die. But he is now LV.3, a Level 2 adventurer recognized throughout Orario!
To clear out these monsters, you need a wide-range attack method, and Roy doesn't have many such methods.
The Wind of Light requires chanting, and with his mediocre level of parallel chanting, he'd probably be torn to shreds by these monsters before he even finished.
Then he only has one choice left.
Roy ran his right hand across the ring.
A simple, unadorned longsword landed in his hand. It was three feet long and four fingers wide, and looked so ordinary that the blade was even starting to rust. Anyone would have thought it was a piece of scrap metal.
Roy, having reached LV.3, was finally able to activate this legendary weapon. As he gripped the hilt, he felt a connection to it, and the slender blade trembled slightly, emitting a clear "yu yu yu" sound.
The sword, which had originally looked like scrap metal, suddenly shone with a dazzling light. The rust disappeared, and mysterious immortal runes emerged, covering the entire sword.
Its sharp edge is so striking that it's impossible to look directly at it.
"Yes!"
As Roy pulled out an extremely dangerous weapon, the enhanced mermaid let out a scream and a loud bang.
As if it were a signal, the more than two hundred controlled monsters launched a charge, and a rumbling sound rang out, shaking the earth.
Burn the heavens!
As soon as Roy activated the special effect of the Elven Holy Sword, the surrounding air changed. Magic elements within a one-kilometer radius seemed to sense something and surged towards this side like madmen.
Almost materializing, the energy, like strands of hair, seeped into the elven holy sword.
The light emanating from the longsword grew increasingly dazzling! Boom!
Roy felt the elven holy sword in his hand growing heavier and heavier. He swung it heavily at the monster army, and the flames wrapped around the sword burst forth, surging and sweeping across the world like a giant dragon.
Wherever it passed, any monsters that came into contact with the raging flames instantly turned to ash, utterly powerless to resist.
The more than two hundred monsters controlled by the enhanced mermaids were annihilated in an instant, leaving not even a fragment of the magic stone behind, as they were completely burned by the terrifying flames.
