The mermaid who first regained her sanity was undoubtedly Princess Merylin. When she first opened her eyes, she looked surprised that so many evil mermaids were motionless around her.
Merylin looked over her body to see that her skin was flawless and impeccable. The last thing she remembered was when she swam toward the hordes of evil mermaids, and then she tried to get to the throne of the kingdom in the castle while the evil mermaids bit her as they wanted to eat her flesh.
The minute she activated her legacy spell from her beloved mother, her sight and mind was blank. The next second she is awake near the border with her peerless body like a newborn mermaid, while the evil mermaids remained motionless and… their skin started to change?
What happened?
Merylin turned around and swam slowly without touching the evil mermaids who were slowly transforming.
Once out of the horde of evil mermaids, Merylin felt someone calling her from the castle. Without further ado, Merylin swam to the source of the summons.
Merylin stopped swimming when she felt the presence of another creature in this lake. And when she found the intruder, her eyes widened in shock.
There was a stunning little girl like a fairy emitting a white illumination of light from her palm. Who is that girl?
Merylin has never met a familiar spirit before, so she doesn't know Aqua's identity, who is currently concentrating on filtering dark force energy from the lake water here.
Merylin did not know Aqua, but she knew that the girl was doing a ritual to purify energy flow in this place. Evidenced by the surrounding water, which is now gradually becoming pure and clean.
Merylin did not know why the girl wanted to help her, but she felt very grateful to the girl.
Merylin was overly admiring the little girl's strength, the same call that called out to her could be heard once again. This time, the call seemed more urgent and louder, making Merylin inevitably swim up to it.
Merylin passed the dying reefs and some of the weeds she had previously ordered to consume Aqua. Of course, the current Merylin could not remember what she had done during her body as an evil mermaid, so she wondered why the weeds she had been confining under the ground could escape?
These weeds were not ordinary ones as these would feed on mermaids or other sea creatures if they did not become watchful when swimming around.
Merylin wagged one of her wrists towards the weed, causing swirling waves to form like a vortex. The weeds that appeared to be alive sank far below until they were buried under the lake's bottom in a short time.
After making sure there were no weeds that would threaten the mermaid's life, Merylin continued swimming towards the source of the call. The closer she was to the source of the call, the wilder her heartbeat.
Merylin quickened her tail swaying and shortly arrived at the palace hall where her throne seat was.
The throne was made of gold and now shone as if it missed its owner.
Merylin swam over with her heartfelt touched, and her eyes filled with tears. If she hadn't been in the water, no doubt, Merylin would have cried with tears.
The first time she dared to break through the horde of evil mermaids, she had promised her fellow mermaids to get them out of this darkness. But honestly, Merylin wasn't sure she'd be able to get them out.
Her only hope is Niken, a time traveler who comes to her time. However, what could Niken do? Niken is just an ordinary time traveler and a wizard. Even though that girl had an indigo magic circle, that girl could not possibly be able to break through the horde of evil mermaids to take some of her celestial soul in the incubator cave.
Even if the girl succeeded, Niken could not possibly be able to purify the water, which has been polluted by dark force energy for how long.
But…
Who would have thought ...
Not only did Niken manage to take half of her celestial soul, but the girl found someone who could get rid of the dark force energy in their residence.
Her job now is to help the girl who has almost finished purifying the water of this lake.
Once the girl's purification ritual was finished, she would combine her strength with the throne's energy as a finishing touch. She would make sure there weren't even the smallest particles of dark force left in this place at the same time, she would speed up the recovery that was taking place in her fellow mermaids' transforming.
Merylin swam then sat on the throne chair while gathering her energy. She scratched her palms, causing bluish blood to come out, then she balled her fists to prevent the blood from mixing with the water.
As soon as Aqua finished her purification ritual, Merylin put her hands on the arm seat altogether while opening her palms. She let the throne seat soak up her blood and do its job smoothly.
A light enveloped Merylin's body and continued to spread out from the palace gate. The light was so bright that one could no longer see her figure.
The light continued to spread until it touched Aqua along with the evil mermaids and came out from the surface of the water. The bluish light continued to shine until the sky made it possible for everyone who was not sleeping to see it.
Just as Niken and the others arrived near the lake, the light faded until it disappeared, replaced by water that looked clear and clean. Niken and the others could feel the different vibes around this lake, and Niken couldn't wait to meet the mermaid princess.
Not long after, a head appeared to the surface, making three pairs of eyes stare at it with curious eyes.
Does the head belong to a mermaid or an evil mermaid?
