Chapter 74 The Despicable Fishman
Chapter 74 The Despicable Fishman
The spear flew toward Yanami at an absurd speed, and the glow it carried was clearly the effect of magic.
Even if Yanami sensed the hostility in advance, there was still no way to avoid it!
*Sizzle*—The flesh was easily pierced, the entire spear went in, and blood gushed out, splattering all over the vines in the plantation.
"That's despicable."
Yanami stood there, her brows furrowed deeply, before her lay the shadow wolf pierced by a spear.
Before the fishmen noticed the Shadow Wolf, Yanami had already made it use a clone to replace itself, and then moved under the pile of vines using the Shadow Potential, hiding in Yanami's shadow.
This can be considered a repeat of the time when the Shadow Wolf tricked him before.
Sensing hostility, Yanami had no choice but to send it out to help defend itself. Unexpectedly, the spear was so powerful that it pierced through the Shadow Wolf's back, rendering the Shadow Wolf unable to move.
Although I had taken precautions to be on the safe side, I never expected that they would use the pretext of negotiation to set a trap and block my way.
Then suddenly he started... Weren't we talking so smoothly just now?
Splash...
As Yanami was being attacked, the merman mage beside her had already completed his spell. Countless water streams floated around him, and the pool water lifted him off the ground as he cast a spell on Yanami from the air.
It seems it wants to gain air superiority, and these water lines are effective against fire arrows.
He directly manipulates the water flow, which is different from Yanami generating flames herself; he doesn't have an advantage in numbers at all.
Yanami could only cast the spells Agility and Wind Walk on herself without chanting, making her body more agile.
The magician merman used the staff as an axis, gripping it with both hands and spinning it while waving it at Yanami.
Sizzle, sizzle sizzle sizzle!
Water streams shot out with the wave of the wand. Although the speed was not fast, there were many of them, and they would twist and turn as the magician manipulated them.
As the lines pierced through her, Yanami's hostility readings kept issuing warnings, leaving her no time to cast other spells.
Using her agile body, she dodged and weaved, the water streams piercing through vines and the ground, but they didn't stop, instead continuing to lock onto Yanami's spikes.
At the same time, the murloc who had lost his spear charged forward at high speed, grabbed a line of water, and quickly transformed it into a spear forged by the water.
One fish-man was in mid-air, the other was too fast... Klein's vines couldn't catch them, so they had to escape.
Yanami dodged and weaved, the swift water lines relentlessly pursuing her, giving her no chance to even unleash a mental attack.
When Yanami came to her senses, she realized that countless water lines had woven into a large net, and countless tangled threads filled the plantation like cotton wool.
There's less and less room to dodge!
The merman wielding the water spear moved freely between the water lines, rapidly approaching Yanami while simultaneously throwing water spears to force Yanami to flee.
Oops.
Yanami stopped in her tracks. All that remained in front of her were countless water lines; she had nowhere else to go.
"Restraint!"
The magician merman stretched out his palm and clenched it tightly!
Boom.
The water lines that had been binding the plantation suddenly tightened, binding Yanami's entire body.
"Cough!"
Unable to move, a suffocating sensation crept from my chest to my brain.
The water spear fishman had already raised his spear and charged towards Yanami. He pulled back the bow with the hand holding the water spear and thrust it fiercely at Yanami.
The sharp water spear pierced the waterline and aimed at Yanami's chest.
clang!
Crash!
The sound of shattering glass—that was the effect of Yanami's barrier ring, which had helped her withstand an attack.
"What?!"
Before the water spear pierced Yanami, some sturdy barrier blocked the attack, causing the water spear's strike to be deflected to one side.
The fishman was thrown off balance by the sudden change in force and crashed to the ground with the momentum of his forward charge.
It's finally stopped, you stinky fishman!
"Vines, get entwined."
Shadowfang!
As the merman fell to the ground, Yanami used telepathy to control the vines beneath him to entwine him. At the same time, the Shadow Wolf, which had fallen to the ground nearby, was only immobilized but not unconscious, and it activated Shadow Fang.
Because of the vines, the Shadow Wolf's shadow is connected to all the shadows in the plantation, meaning that its Shadow Fang can be activated from anywhere.
"Damn it! Help me!"
The merman shouted at the merman sorcerer who was manipulating magic in the air. He was entangled by vines, and at the same time, his shadow turned into a wolf's head, lunging at him.
Clap clap!
As the wolf's fangs snapped in, the mage merman loosened some of the water lines binding Yanami and instead pulled the merman entangled by vines beside him, shifting his body slightly.
"ah--!"
But the wolf's fang was fast enough to bite his right arm, severing the entire arm. The fishman screamed in pain.
The wolf's fangs severed the vines, freeing him from his bonds. The merman clutched his wound and painfully stood up, immediately trying to move his legs away from the dangerous vines.
"Be careful!"
The magic fishman in the sky shouted, and the spear fishman turned his head and saw Yanami, who had broken free of her restraints. She had a pair of cold eyes.
Behind her was a barrier of countless vines that blocked the constantly stabbing water lines. Yanami held a bright red longsword in her right hand and raised her left hand towards the fishman.
After the water lines decreased, Yanami manipulated the vines to draw the demonic sword Blood Eater that she always carried, cut the water lines, and calmly spoke.
"Despicable fishman."
The merman suddenly stood up, and the water lines on his body transformed into spears that pierced towards Yanami—
hum...
Yanami clenched her left hand and unleashed a mental attack.
The excruciating pain from his very soul made him dizzy, and he collapsed to the ground.
*Thud*—The crimson sword pierced his heart. The merman raised his head, his last glance falling upon the indifferent expression of the blue-haired woman.
His life was consumed by his flesh and blood, and he finally collapsed slowly in the vines.
"The cunning merfolk have made a mess of our plantation; it's unforgivable."
So next up is that stinky fishman in the sky.
"How could this be...?"
Through the gaps in the vines, Yanami saw the pale-faced merman mage, who suddenly lost all his strength and began to flee towards the pool.
At the same time, he manipulated the water lines to continuously stab at Yanami, who simply raised her palm and clenched it against him.
A profound emotional impact.
Splash—thump.
All the water lines controlled by the merman simultaneously failed, turning into ordinary water flow that splashed across the plantation, and even the water flow under the merman's feet collapsed.
The fishman, struck by the mental shock, fell into the pool, creating huge waves. Yanami manipulated the vines in the pool to bind him completely.
When the fishman recovered, he was faced with countless flaming arrows controlled by Yanami.
"No, please don't kill me!"
Shout...
With the danger averted, Yanami breathed a sigh of relief.
Only fire magic works, but it's still not enough. I need to learn more magic...
Pfft.
Suddenly, Yanami saw a small fish dart out of the fishman's sleeve and disappear into the pool before Yanami could react.
"What is that?!"
Faced with Yanami's questioning, the fishman abandoned his previous humble demeanor, his face turned cold, and he remained silent.
