Episode 54:
The appearance of a talking fish!
As if he wasn’t scared of X, he came right in front of X and swam.
White stripes on a red background. It looks quite similar to the fish that appeared in the famous movie.
X thought about it and then answered.
“Yeah, it sounds good, but... are you a spirit by any chance?”
government ordinance! X had seen a talking deer. Not an ordinary deer, but a deer that became a spirit through the energy of an old tree. That’s why I thought this guy might also be a spirit.
Bangrrrr! The fish turned its body.
“Wow, you can really hear me! Sorry, but I’m not a spirit. I’m just an ordinary little fish! Still, he’s as up-to-date on news around him as a spirit. “It won’t hurt to look good to me, right?”
It seemed like his ability to communicate had improved.
I just end up talking to the fish.
‘You’re up to speed on news around you?’
If so, there was a possibility that he also knew information about mermaids. But there was one thing that bothered me. X nodded and asked.
“I would be grateful if you could be friendly... Kid, you just said you were in trouble, right? “Can you tell me what that means?”
“That’s right, big deal! “You have to run away quickly!”
“escape?”
Will more dangerous monsters appear?
In that case, X had no reason to run away. Because X didn’t give his all when fighting the Abyss Slayer. X gave an estimate.
‘If you use Bear Stance here, you will become twice as strong.’
If someone stronger than the Abyss Slayer appears, it is welcome. The items spit out by the Abyss Slayer alone had a tremendous effect. Moreover, the level is high, so it gives you a lot of experience points.
“Kid, isn’t your brother stronger than he looks?”
“Strong? “But I don’t think I can do it alone, right?”
“Is it possible that this guy is uploading a lot of posts?”
Champions of the Abyss!
I wondered if there were a lot of these guys wandering around. When X took a bite and asked, the little fish shook his head cutely.
“no. It’s not easy to handle multiple pets like this. So, you’re in big trouble! “If the Seahawks see this... they’re going to go crazy!”
“...Pets? this?”
“okay! Slayer of the Abyss. “This is Seahawk’s pet!”
This terrifying Abyssal Slayer is your pet? What kind of sound does this sound like a lightning bolt! In that case, X would have beaten the pet of a man named Seahawk to death. X sighed, feeling guilty.
“Then why did you release this guy...”
X also raises a hatchling dragon named Yongyong. I don’t know who Seahawk, who owns the same pet, is, but I felt like I had to apologize first.
X asked.
“I’m sorry if he rushed at me first. But kid. Who lives where the Seahawks? “I feel like I need to go and apologize.”
“Are you crazy? “Seahawk is definitely not a good guy!!”
“He’s not a good guy... Then what is he doing?”
The little fish came closer to X’s question.
He snuggled into X’s ear and began to whisper in a low voice.
“Seahawk is the leader of the Fishman Alliance. He is the leader of those violent and cruel fishmen! “No matter how strong it is, there is no fish in the sea that can stand against its cruelty!”
Fishman Union!
Even though I had heard of mermaids from Sioras, this was my first time hearing about fishmen. But the little fish’s explanation was enough. Fishmen are probably a violent race in contrast to mermaids.
The little fish looked at the sunken slayer of the abyss.
“And you won’t have to be sorry. “I let him go sometimes, but he suffered a lot from Seahawk, so he would be happier if he was killed by you.”
Seeing the little fish speak like this, it seemed like the Seahawk and Fishman Alliance were truly heinous people. X said after roughly understanding the situation.
“They say you brat is stronger than he looks.”
Fishman Association.
And this is the first time I’ve seen a creature that doesn’t tremble when it hears Seahawk’s name. Do all humans have livers sticking out of their stomachs like this? The little fish sighed and answered.
“Okay, I’ll guide you. But even if the fishmen find you, I will pretend not to notice. “I don’t want to die yet!”
Slut! The little fish went to the mermaid island hidden in the sea.
X quickly followed after him. It was an unexpected meeting and unexpected development.
‘We must stop the invasion of the Fishman Alliance.’
It is a goal that will never be easy. However, it was clear that as difficult as it was, the rewards would be great. I will definitely succeed! X advanced towards Mermaid Island with great enthusiasm.
*
The face of Mermaid Island Guardian Captain Gafis was dark.
He had just received a telegram from the scout fish.
‘Is the Fishman Alliance finally planning to invade Mermaid Island?’
The goal of the Fish-Man Alliance was immediately apparent.
A giant pearl in the center of Mermaid Island.
The giant pearl forms a shield and protects organisms within it. As long as you have a giant pearl, it is not difficult to invade the land, which is the final goal of the Fishman Alliance. The shadow darkened on Gafis’s beautiful face.
‘But what on earth should I do?’
Mermaids are not a race specialized in combat. Even if they are similar in number to the fish-men, ten mermaids cannot defeat one fish-man. Moreover, due to the nature of the race, the ratio of women is as high as 70%.
A solemn look appeared on Gafis’ face.
“I will protect Mermaid Island even if it means my death.”
Trident and golden helmet.
Gafis put on the equipment and led the mermaid soldiers. Even if it were soldiers, it barely exceeded one hundred. The numbers were similar to those of the Fish-Man Union.
“We will strengthen security starting from nearby waters. “If you see anything unusual, report it immediately!”
Defeat may be a given. Nevertheless, the position of Guardian Captain is one where you must do your best until the end. Gafis opened his eyes wide.
The beautiful scenery of Mermaid Island caught my eye. Peaceful, full of laughter, and overflowing with happiness... this mermaid island is on the verge of extinction. Gafis bit his lip.
‘What’s long and short is something you have to see to know.’
Gafis made up his mind. Fear is your biggest enemy. When I was young, I thought back to the words of my father, who was also the captain of the guards on Mermaid Island. But my father also lost his life to the fishmen. Gafis’s internal conflict intensified. Suddenly, a mermaid soldier approached Gafis.
A look of embarrassment was evident on his face.
‘Has it finally come?’
Gafis nodded to the mermaid soldier.
The mermaid soldier took a deep breath and opened her mouth.
“Gafis! It’s human! “Humans have appeared!”
“...Not a fishman but a human? “Didn’t I see it wrong?”
“no. I checked it carefully. It has no fins on its face, no sharp hands or feet, and no sharp teeth. I’m sure it’s human!”
Gafis couldn’t help but be embarrassed. How did humans find Mermaid Island and how could they hold their breath until they reached Mermaid Island? Gafis continued to say even more unbelievable words.
“There was a fish that accompanied that human. According to the fish, humans killed Seahawk’s pet Abyss Slayer in the surrounding waters!”
“Are you the slayer of the Abyss of Poetry all by yourself?”
“That’s right. And more importantly...”
Gulp! The soldier swallowed dryly and continued speaking.
“That human said he would help defend our Mermaid Island from attacks by the Fishman Alliance!”
“Is that really true?”
A talented person who defeated the Slayer of the Abyss alone!
A person of such skill would help defend Mermaid Island?
For the first time, color appeared on Garfis’ face.
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
