The Mermaid Sea Underwater War

Ariel opened her eyes after 30 minutes.

Before Ariel’s eyes was Kyle, whom she loved.

Ariel had become a Tentacle Hero and could understand everything.

,”Ah… so that’s what it was.”,

I asked, just in case.

,”Ariel. Are you angry, by any chance?”,

Ariel shook her head.

,”Now I have legs and can become one with Kyle?”,

Ariel looked at me with eyes full of love.

Whatever Kyle had done in the past didn’t matter to Ariel anymore.

Ariel, who had become a Tentacle Hero, loved Kyle, and as long as she had Kyle, she didn’t need anything else.

Ariel’s mermaid lower body split into several tentacles with suckers, like octopus legs.

Those tentacles gathered into two and soon became slender, straight legs.

Ariel’s height was about 173cm.

Ariel approached me lightly.

Ariel put one leg between my legs and seduced me, drawing a heart on my chest with her index finger.

,”Kyle? Let’s become one.”,

I swallowed hard in excitement but soon shook my head.

Ariel also had things to resolve with Lucy-nuna.

,”Ariel. Try connecting through the Tentacle Communication Network.”,

,”Ah!”,

Lucy-nuna’s communication came through.

– [You fish bitch! I’m going there, so wait for me.]

Ariel realized that Lucy-nuna was a powerful Tentacle Hero.

,”Kyle! What should I do! I think I’m completely screwed.”,

I said.

,”Lucy-nuna is my first wife and the Queen of the Tentacle Kingdom.”,

,”She was such an amazing person.”,

,”Just kneel down and beg. Lucy-nuna isn’t that bad of a Tentacle, so if she sees you working hard, she’ll forgive you.”,

,”Ugh… Why did I do that…”,

Not even a few minutes passed before Lucy-nuna burst into the room.

,”Kyle! I tried to stop you, but you ended up accepting her as a Tentacle Hero.”,

,”Nuna. Just listen for a moment. Ariel says she apologizes for what happened in the past.”,

Ariel quickly knelt in front of Lucy-nuna.

,”I’m sorry! Please forgive me!”,

,”Why should I! Have you forgotten what you said to me?”,

,”I didn’t know any better. I’ll work hard as a Tentacle Hero from now on, so please give me a chance!”,

As Ariel crawled on her knees and grabbed the hem of Lucy-nuna’s skirt, Lucy-nuna flinched with pity.

Lucy-nuna’s expression changed back to anger, and she yelled.

,”How can I trust a slippery eel like you!”,

,”I’ll really work hard! I’ll diligently assist Kyle!”,

Ariel was sincere.

I pleaded with Lucy-nuna, providing support.

,”I know Lucy-nuna is angry with Ariel. It’s true that Ariel did wrong. But she’s begging like this. She’s different before and after becoming a Tentacle Hero, so let’s give her a chance. Please~”,

Lucy-nuna looked back and forth between me and Ariel, then sighed and said.

,”Okay. I’ll educate her, so Ariel, you come with me. I’ll accept you depending on how you behave from now on.”,

,”Thank you!”,

As Lucy-nuna took Ariel out, silence filled my room.

Lucy-nuna is a kind Tentacle, so she won’t bully Ariel.

Meanwhile, the Mermaid Kingdom was in chaos because the princess had been captured by the Saghagin.

King Poseidon sat on the throne in the royal court, listening to the soldier’s accurate account of the incident.

King Poseidon was furious and crushed the golden cup he was holding.

King Poseidon asked Prince Climan, who was next to him.

,”What happened to that bastard Kyle?”,

,”There’s no news about that.”,

,”It’s all because of that guy. He’s not helpful at all. Ariel fell into evil deeds because of him, and she went to the Saghagin area to find him.”,

,”……”,

King Poseidon gripped the ancient trident tightly, rose from his chair, and shouted loudly so that everyone in the royal court could hear.

,”It’s war! Gather all the soldiers of the Mermaid Kingdom and annihilate the Saghagin and Kraken!”,

The prince and all the generals in the royal court chanted in unison at King Poseidon’s strong will.

,”We shall obey!”,

Martial law was declared in the Mermaid Kingdom, and it entered a wartime system.

The Mermaid Kingdom gathered war materials and armed active and reserve forces.

Soon, an army of 300,000 mermaids gathered at the entrance of the Mermaid Kingdom.

Melee warriors with tridents and armor, mages with crystal balls and corals, and underwater ballistae strong enough to cut through the water.

King Poseidon gave a speech in front of the mermaid army.

,”The evil Saghagin and Kraken have long been enemies of the mermaids. We gave them a chance to live in a certain area even though we could have destroyed them! They slaughtered mermaid soldiers and kidnapped the princess even though we showed them grace! Today, we will mobilize all the power of the Mermaid Kingdom to remove the Saghagin and Kraken from this sea and purify this sea!”,

The mermaid army’s roar echoed.

,”Uwaaaaaaa!!!!!”,

The massive mermaid army moved to the Saghagin area.

———————-

I sensed that a war would break out from the moment we obtained Ariel, so I gathered all the tribe leaders.

I also sent a communication to Ctilla to come.

Ctilla was afraid to leave her eggs, but she agreed when I said that our fate depended on this war and that I would send a tribe to protect the eggs.

The tribe protecting the eggs swore to protect the child of God with their lives.

I gathered my Tentacle subordinates and tribe leaders and went through several discussions.

Chief Kalkarias of the Carcharodon tribe had a lot of combat experience, so I mainly listened to his opinions.

Fighting in the sea is different from fighting on land.

On land, the army is on a 2D plane, so the boundary between the army and the army is expressed as a 1D line.

It would be different if there were air forces, but usually the main force is made up of ground forces.

In the sea, the army is in a 3D space, so the boundary between the army and the army is a 2D plane.

Attacks come from all directions, including above and below.

Also, in the sea, the damage from ranged attacks such as bows is reduced due to water resistance.

Therefore, all Saghagin are melee warriors or shamans.

However, the Mermaid Kingdom has underwater ballistae, which are ranged weapons with high technology.

These ballistae fire huge streamlined arrows that reduce water resistance.

It is said that many Saghagin were pierced by arrows and died while approaching due to the ballistae.

Since most Saghagin are melee warriors, they must minimize damage and quickly approach the mermaid army.

Saghagin have stronger physical abilities than mermaids and can use their bodies as weapons.

Some Saghagin may have poison on their thorns or spit poison from their mouths.

Once melee combat breaks out, Saghagin can fight on par with mermaids.

Therefore, I assigned the role of tanker to the larger Saghagin in response to the ballistae.

The tanker carries a large rock large enough to cover the Saghagin’s body with both hands.

The tanker’s role is to hold the rock in front to block arrows and protect other melee warriors.

The tanker can carry a harpoon on its back and fight with the harpoon when it arrives at the mermaid army.

Finally, I declared to all tribe leaders that I would give the desired ones the power of darkness.

All tribe leaders wanted to receive the power of darkness from God.

I used 26,800 evolution points to turn all 134 tribe leaders, including Kalkarias, into Tentacle Heroes.

The tribe leaders gained the ability to extend tentacles from their bodies in addition to the appearance and strength of the Saghagin.

The baptized tribe leaders were proud of themselves for becoming warriors chosen by God and thrilled by their new power.

—

A few days later, the Saghagin army gathered in front of me.

Behind me were Lucy-nuna, Melissa, Ariel, Winston, Lime Teacher, and Ctilla.

The tribe leaders lined up in the front, followed by the Saghagin soldiers.

Melee warriors armed with harpoons and bones, and shamans with animal bones.

Since Saghagin have a strong wild nature, unlike mermaids who have a separate job called soldier, all adult Saghagin can participate in combat.

When all adult Saghagin were gathered, 300,000 Saghagin soldiers gathered.

I gave a speech in front of the Saghagin army.

,”Those treacherous mermaids have oppressed the Saghagin and restricted their freedom as if this sea belonged to them since ancient times! Now, the treacherous mermaid army is coming here to annihilate all Saghagin, including children, and the guardian god Kraken! We will defeat their evil army here and reclaim this sea as our own! I, Kyle, champion of the Dark Race, will take the lead and turn the mermaid king and soldiers into pieces of meat!”,

All the Saghagin raised their harpoons and bones and shook them, letting out a thunderous roar.

,”Kireureureuk! Kyaaaak!!!!!”,

The Saghagin army waited in the Saghagin area for the mermaid army.

Since they knew that the mermaid army would come here anyway, the policy was to save supplies and reduce fatigue.

———————–

I was resting in my room in the shipwreck lodging.

Kalkarias reported from outside the door.

,”Great Being. Scouts say the enemy is in sight!”,

I jumped up from the chair, opened the door, and went out.

,”Line up the Saghagin army.”,

,”Understood.”,

A few minutes after Kalkarias left, the sound of drums announcing the Saghagin’s war echoed.

Kung Kung Kung Kung

The Saghagin army lined up in the border area as a 2D plane vertically dividing the sea.

In the front were tankers holding rocks, followed by melee warriors and shamans with harpoons.

Each tribe leader stood behind where their tribe was.

I was in the back with my Tentacle subordinates, Ctilla, and some Saghagin guards.

Ctilla will be deployed after melee combat breaks out.

Lucy-nuna was in Tentacle arm form, Winston was in Beastman form, Melissa was in quadruped form, and Lime Teacher was holding a streamlined long gun in Elf form.

Ariel was hiding somewhere in the rocks in the back.

The Saghagin’s battle drums echoed constantly from all directions, raising the Saghagin’s excitement.

The Saghagin screamed.

,”Kireureureuk!”,

,”Keurarak! Kiaak!”,

In the distance, the mermaid army was seen approaching as a 2D plane vertically dividing the sea.

Most of them were melee soldiers with tridents and armor, followed by mages with crystal balls and those pulling ballistae.

The mermaid army stopped at a suitable distance from the Saghagin army, with the 2D plane and the 2D plane facing each other.

The Saghagin screamed, causing the mermaids to feel an unconscious wild fear.

The center of the mermaid army opened, and King Poseidon, holding a golden ancient trident studded with jewels, came forward with Prince Climan and the generals.

King Poseidon shouted loudly.

,”You evil Saghagin! Hand over my daughter!”,

As I stepped forward, the center of the Saghagin army opened.

I went outside and faced King Poseidon.

King Poseidon looked at me with a dumbfounded face, then shouted with an angry face.

,”It’s you! I knew it from the beginning! You demon bastard! How dare you harass and kidnap my daughter! Aren’t you afraid of the heavens!”,

I shouted back.

,”Ariel came to me on her own! What are you talking about! Ariel is my woman now!”,

Arguing about a woman before the battle reminded me of the Trojan War on Earth, which was caused by a woman named Helene.

King Poseidon shouted in anger.

,”You have the tongue of a demon! Today, I will dry up all the evil Saghagin, including their seeds! And I will eliminate that demon bastard and his demon companions!”,

The mermaid army let out a thunderous roar.

,”Uwaaaaaaa!!!!!”,

I also shouted along.

,”Those treacherous mermaids are trying to kill all of our children! All Saghagin, unite and drive out the treacherous mermaids and reclaim our sea!”,

The Saghagin also showed their sharp teeth and let out a thunderous roar.

,”Keuraaaaaa!”,

,”Kieeeeeeeek!”,

As King Poseidon and I returned to the back of the army, the holes that had been pierced in the 2D plane closed.

I went to my place and quickly ordered loudly.

,”Advance quickly without giving them a chance!!!!”,

The Saghagin drummers began to beat the drums with a beat that meant advance.

Kungkoogungkukung Kungkoogungkukung

The Saghagin army screamed in unison and swam towards the mermaid army.

Holes opened in the middle of the mermaid army, and the ballistae fired powerful arrows.

As the curtain of huge arrows almost reached the Saghagin, the Saghagin stopped advancing.

The tankers followed the arrows with their eyes, held the rocks tightly, and prepared for the coming impact.

The curtain of arrows collided with the tankers’ rocks.

Kwagaagang Kwajijik

Arrows piercing the rocks, arrows bouncing off, or arrows piercing through and piercing even the tankers behind them.

Some Saghagin tankers died, but they blocked the first rain of arrows with minimal damage.

This time, the Saghagin shamans chanted spells.

As the Saghagin shamans mumbled and trembled their hands holding the bones, numerous bone fish ranging in size from mackerel to shark were created in front of the Saghagin army.

The bone fish snapped their sharp teeth and rushed towards the mermaid army all at once.

The Saghagin army began to advance quickly again.

The mermaid army’s second curtain of ballista arrows was fired.

The bone fish were still swimming quickly towards the mermaid army, and the Saghagin army stopped in preparation for the impact of the rain of arrows.

The ballista arrows broke through the bone fish as they passed and were fired at the Saghagin tankers.

Kwang Kwajijik Kwagang

The impact of the arrows was reduced due to the bone fish, so the damage was less than before.

The Saghagin army advanced again.

As the bone fish almost reached the front of the mermaid army, the mermaid melee warriors grabbed their tridents with both hands and pointed them forward, taking a stance.

The mermaid mages shot water spears at the bone fish and destroyed them.

The bone fish that arrived at the end collided with the mermaid melee warriors.

The mermaid melee warriors swung their tridents and broke the bone fish.

Some bone fish bit the mermaids’ arms and injured them, or bit their heads and inflicted fatal wounds, but there was no significant damage.

After all, the bone fish were just a way to buy time.

Soon, the Saghagin army arrived at a close distance to the mermaid army.

From now on, it was a magic fight.

The mermaid mages shot water spears from all directions, slowing down the advance.

As the Saghagin shamans cast spells, huge fishbone spears flew towards the mermaids.

The mermaid mages created water whirlwinds to block the fishbone spears, and the shamans created fishbone shields to block the water spears.

The mermaid melee warriors in the front row took a stance, and the back row supported the backs of the front row with their hands to prepare for the impact.

The Saghagin tankers, holding rocks, collided with the mermaid army as they were, and huge noises echoed everywhere.

Kwagaagang Kwajijik Kwagagagaang

The momentum from the huge Saghagin tanker’s rush was added, and the rocks crushed the mermaid melee warriors as they advanced.

The mermaid melee warriors shouted with all their might.

,”Block!”,

,”Don’t push back! Keuaaaak!”,

The mermaid mages created water whirlwinds and barely stopped the rocks.

The tankers abandoned the rocks and took out their harpoons.

The Saghagin melee warriors behind the tankers moved forward and stabbed the mermaid soldiers with harpoons and scratched them with their claws and thorns.

Since they could hit their own troops with the ballistae, the ballista operators also grabbed their tridents and charged at the Saghagin.

Now, melee combat broke out between the mermaid army and the Saghagin army.

I, my companions, Ctilla, and the guards moved forward to participate in the battle.
