Chapter 771: Touching a Dragon's Reverse Scale Is Not Wise.
The guard knew who this woman was, so he became nervous and quickly tried to reason with her, swimming toward her. "Madam Zhu! Do not overreact, these people have just arrived, and they aren't directly trying to talk to you."
However, Madam Zhu was like a bull that had seen red. She grabbed the guard by the neck with a furious expression. "Do you think I care?! Since these people dare to mock me, they must pay the price! I've never been insulted in my life, and I won't start today!"
Yasenia saw the face of the guard becoming red quickly as the woman strangled him and spoke up. "Madam Zhu, leave him alone. This is between us."
While Yasenia usually didn't care about other people, this guard had been nothing but nice to them. Seeing him die didn't sit right with Yasenia.
The four-meter-tall crustacean woman looked fiercely toward Yasenia and screamed. "Not only did you disrespect me, you now dare to give me orders!?" Her lips arched maliciously, and she said. "If I want to kill someone, I'll just do it!"
Then, she clenched her hand with the intention of breaking the guard's neck. Yasenia used her movement technique, appearing by her side in an instant, and used her index finger to poke five times on the wrist and forearm area.
Her energy sunk into Madam Zhu's body, forcing her hand to relax. Then, using her tail, she coiled it around the guard's torso and threw him toward her group. One of the maids stepped forward and caught him, feeding him a healing pill to avoid any complications.
Now face-to-face, Yasenia looked upward with a calm expression and spoke to her. "Now that he is out of the way, what's the problem?"
The dragoness naturally understood that her comment touched this woman's nerves somehow and that Madam Zhu was now acting extremely irrationally and emotionally, so she was willing to give her at least a chance to calm down before she took action.
Today, she wanted to spend a relaxing day with Kaleina and Flame without seeing blood, if possible. Of course, depending on the situation, things were bound to change.
The woman looked at her limp hand with wide eyes. The sensations in that area had disappeared, making her feel extremely uncomfortable. She pointed at Yasenia with her good hand, her face becoming redder because of anger. "You, you, you, you! Do you even know who I am!? My husband is the deputy City Lord of the Descending Ocean City! How dare you touch me!?"
Then, she turned around and screamed at the guards. "ALL OF YOU ARE USELESS! THERE IS A PERSON ATTACKING YOUR LORD, AND YOU DARE NOT COME TO SAVE ME!?"
The woman was screaming so loud that she was creating waves in the water above. Yasenia looked back and saw Kali and Cecile using their soft tails to protect Kaleina's and Flame's ears.
Suddenly, she felt danger and saw a merman clad in armor, one of the leading guards, appear by her side and punch her. His face was indifferent as he spoke before the blow. "Don't get us wrong. You just offended someone you shouldn't."
Yasenia deployed a large part of her strength, crossing her arms before the punch and tensing her body.
BANG!
The water around shook as Yasenia became a comet and flew back hundreds of meters, creating a bubble trail because of the speed she was piercing through. Finally, she smashed into the sand, creating an underwater sand explosion.
The dragoness chuckled, feeling her arms tingling. 'That hurt quite a lot.'
When she moved out of the stopped, she looked back at him with interest. 'A high-level Epoch Core. To think that even a deputy lord's wife has such a high-level guard, no wonder this city is considered one of the strongest cities of the mermaid race. There are probably more high-level Epoch Cores in this city than in my sect.'
Yasenia looked at her arms and saw a red mark appearing, telling her just how strong he was.
However, the ones surprised the most were the madam and the personal guard captain that attacked. The guard's face became serious. "Why are you hiding your strength?"
Yasenia blinked, looking back at him with a puzzled expression. "What do you mean?"
The guard sneered. "There is no need to act. You appear to be just in the fourth realm, and yet you could take one of my punches without dying? That's not possible!"
Yasenia paused, looking at him with a profound gaze. "You wanted to kill me with that attack?"
Seeing his affirmation, Yasenia looked at him and the madam pitifully. 'Oh, you poor bastard. You shouldn't have said that.'
In the next instant, fifty maids appeared around them and released their killing intent. The ocean around them seemed to darken as a suffocating pressure and the smell of blood permeated everywhere.
The faces of everyone present became deathly pale as the fear of death swallowed their souls.
The battle was an absolute stomp, and it didn't last more than ten seconds.
By the time they returned, Yasenia was hugging Kaleina and Flame and surrounded by all our girls.
The maids slammed them all against the sea floor, creating a massive underwater explosion that was quickly cleared with their energy control. Yasenia looked down coldly. "Who are you, and why were you aiming at my child?"
The leading water creature, a half-seal, half-human man, gritted his teeth and answered rudely. "Who the fuck was aiming at that cub? We don't know anything! Let us go before the mermaids come and take care of you because of your violent behavior!"
The guard at the side felt his lips twitch. 'Why are there so many people bothering Lady Yasenia's group? Do they look weak or something?'
Meanwhile, Yasenia gave Kaleina to Cecile and approached one of the 75 people. Her tail, surrounded by a silvery aura, stabbed down and pierced the chest of a crab-like woman.
The chill from her Moon attribute seeped into the Low-level Epoch Core woman, making her scream. "AAH! COLD! COLD! STOP!"
The pain of feeling her insides freezing was almost unbearable.
Yasenia looked at the man as her Moon Energy slowly and painfully froze the woman held down by Alaia. "Answer, or she dies."
The man's eyes widened. "Y-You, don't you know that killing is strictly prohibited here!? If you kill her, you'll become the enemy of the mermaid race!"
Yasenia's lips arched in a sneer. "Wrong answer. [Draconic Crescent Moon]."
Her tail flashed three times, and the woman was sliced into pieces. Then, she moved toward the next person, and her tail stabbed a starfish man in the center of their body. "AHHH!"
The seal man shouted, anxious. "You, stop!"
Yasenia shook her head. "Wrong answer."
Then, her tail flashed again as she sliced another creature into chunks. Without saying anything, she approached another person.
That half-crab woman that she was approaching began trembling and begged. "Wait, wait! I'll answer, I'll answer. Please don't kill me!"
The man snarled. "YOU DARE!"
The crab-woman shouted back. "Fuck you! This time we've met a fucking lunatic! If you want to die, go alone!"
Yasenia stopped in front of her and looked down at her with extremely cold eyes. "Who asked you to attack my child?"
The crab-woman gulped down in fear as Yasenia's cold eyes hid an insanely burning wrath that felt as if it was about to come out and swallow her whole. "I-It was the [Seabed Assassin Coral Sect]! W-We are nothing but mercenaries that were hired! The order was that if we saw a dragon woman with a blue tail with golden rings, we should try to capture someone from that group before they entered the Descending Ocean City and send it to them! We know nothing more!"
Yasenia asked again. "Where is that sect? Why did you aim at my child?"
The crab woman was about to answer, but Yasenia felt an attack coming from the distance with extreme speed and accuracy aiming at the crab-woman's head. Still, it wasn't quick enough.
Even before that attack could make half the journey, Selena appeared, holding her large shield, and took the attack head-on.
BOOOM!
The water around her parted, but Selena stood still like a mountain, her snake tail not even dragging on the sand below her.
Yasenia laughed chillingly, the water around her swirling as a dense killing intent froze the water into ice that floated upward.
"It seems that our outing will have to change from city-viewing to sect-annihilation-viewing."
