Chapter 224 Sudden Appearance

Even if they used Water Magic, the scales on his skin would protect him from its effects.

However, Erend still can't breathe 'underwater'.

So he spits fire from his mouth and destroys the water prison Magic.

Erend felt the air fill his lungs again after he breaks free. He opened his eyes and looked around. The Sharkmans were surrounding him.

'They're really going all out.' Erend thought.

He pulled out his activate Skill

[ Skill activated: Dragon Claw (Lv.1) ]

He swung down at the nearest one.

*CRAAAT!*

His claw pierced through the Sharkman's eye and it died instantly.

Erend got up and took another swing with his claw. This time, he caught the fin of one of the Sharkman. Then he pierced his jaw.

Erend throw his body away and landed on the sand lifeless.

[ Progress: Sharkman killed: 2/25 ]

He kept swinging. When he finished his first round, Erend realized that he still had a lot more Sharkman left.

However, in this situation, it seemed that he should be able to finish the rest of them with ease. Like he had known from the start.

Erend didn't turn into his Dragon form because the fight will just be ended too quickly. He needs to vent his anger toward these Sharkmans.

Erend continues to fight with his human form in black and red scale.

Until he noticed that the remaining Sharkman was running away.

"This isn't looking good."

Erend looked around and found that one of the Sharkman ran away in a different direction than the rest.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Erend yelled in the direction of the fleeing Sharkman.

Erend then chased after the Sharkman. He was faster than the Sharkman and it was easy to catch up.

Before he knew it, he was already behind the Sharkman.

"I'm gonna kill you, son of a bitch!!"

​ Erend full of killing intent toward this creature. He raised his arm with the claws.

"Whoa!" Erend stopped in his tracks and turned around.

Suddenly there stood a woman as tall as him.

She wore a white dress and had long black hair. Her face was beautiful. But then Erend realized that she maybe was a threat to him.

Erend immediately averts his gaze down at the ground.

"I'm just a prisoner."

The woman smiled and walked closer.

She was not wearing anything. Her legs were long and slender, making her appear more alluring.

"So, what are you doing? Let's just get along. We'll find a way to escape this island together." She said while walking beside Erend.

"Why should I help you? What are you?" Erend replied.

"I am a Siren." She answered.

"Siren? What's that?" Erend asked curiously.

Erend never heard of a creature named Siren before. There is no lore about that in his world.

"A Siren is an immortal being. We are the descendants of mermaids and humans," The woman explained.

"A Mermaid and a human...?" Erend looked at the woman in confusion.

"Yes. Our people were once part of the water. Since we cannot breathe on land, our ancestors decided to live underwater. We are different from the Merfolk that you know of."

Even though she tried to explain, Erend couldn't understand a thing she was saying.

It seemed that his knowledge of the fantasy creatures that existed in his world was only limited to Dragons and Elves. Maybe some more but it's not the Sirens.

They know about Elves too because they invaded his country.

And Erend remember what he really had to do. He has to kill the remaining Sharkmans.

"I'll talk to you later."

Erend runs to chase the fleeing Sharkman.

The woman who claimed to be a Siren stared at Erend's retreating back.

"That scale..." the Siren muttered.

Erend chased after the Sharkman while grinding his teeth.

'How can he be so fast when he is a shark?!'

Webbed feet run so fast on the sand. It looks very strange. But there's no use thinking about that now.

Behind him, there were other Sharkmans that he had to deal with.

Erend looked back and saw that the Sharkmans were already running towards the sea again. He must hurry.

[ Skill activated: Dragon Wings (Lv.1) ]

A pair of wings sticking out from Erend's back.

Then Erend flapped his wings to push his body forward with great force.

*SWOOOSHHH!*

In the blink of an eye, Erend was right behind the Sharkman. He swung his claws.

*CRAAATTT!*

Erend's claws pierced the Sharkman's fin.

He ripped the Sharkman's back of his head and it immediately fell down.

Erend did not stop there. He landed and then plunged his claws into the Sharkman's chest until he penetrated it.

[ Progress: Sharkman killed: 3/25 ]

After receiving the notification, Erend didn't wait long.

He instantly shot toward the Sharkmans who were about to escape into the sea.

As soon as they saw Erend flying towards them, the Sharkmans shot water bullets at him.

Erend managed to dodge by swerving in the air while swooping down.

Moments later he was on top of one of the Sharkmen. Erend swung his claws.

*CRAAAT!*

Erend's claw swung violently and tear the Sharkman's front muzzle.

It let out a wailing sound of pain as it fell onto the sand bleeding profusely.

Erend felt a feeling of relief in his chest. It was as if a wisp of heat was escaping little by little through every claw he swung.

'I know this is the right solution. It's better than me clawing that bastard Geralt's face.'

Erend continues to hunt the Sharkmans.

He flew at the Sharkmans who were about to enter the sea and threw them back onto the beach to then kill them.

The Sirens stared from a distance. Her hands clasped in front of her chest.

Her face was filled with an expression of horror and fear. But there is also admiration there.

"Is that... a Dragon kind?" She muttered.

Erend continued to slaughter the Sharkmans with his claws.

He didn't spit fire because he thought the fire couldn't do much for them. Because they are aquatic creatures.
