The Mermaid Sea Underwater War [Modified Mermaid Sea Map]
I kissed Ariel on the forehead and gently caressed her cheek with my hand for a moment.
“I’ll be going now.”
Ariel nodded.
I swam towards King Poseidon.
King Poseidon looked like he had aged decades from using too much power.
King Poseidon sacrificed his life force to unleash his strongest card, but the card failed, unable to inflict any damage on the enemy.
King Poseidon sensed his end and quietly watched me approach.
King Poseidon knew that if he fell, the Merman Kingdom would also fall.
As I approached King Poseidon, the mermen rushed at me, but with my tentacle attacks and Lime-sensei’s timely bullet support, I was able to defeat the mermen and approach King Poseidon.
King Poseidon opened his mouth with a desperate expression.
“You damn Demon bastard. Do you really love my daughter?”
I nodded as if it were obvious.
“Yes. She will become one of my Queens.”
“If you love my daughter, why did you side with the Sahuagin?”
“I am a creature of darkness. Loving Ariel and choosing between mermen and Sahuagin are separate issues. I simply chose Ariel and the Sahuagin, and Ariel followed me.”
“Hmph… It’s my fault for raising my daughter wrong. What will happen to my Merman Kingdom?”
“I will turn the Merman Sea into a place for creatures of darkness. I’ll leave the rest to your imagination.”
King Poseidon lowered his head and pleaded with me.
“I will surrender now, so please spare all the mermen.”
I thought for a moment, remembering what happened with Killer Bee, and then answered.
“I refuse.”
War is cruel, and if you have oppressed someone, you too can be oppressed.
The mermen are now paying for their oppression of the Sahuagin and Krakens.
King Poseidon frowned, cursed, and thrust his trident at me.
“Die!”
But the spear could not be thrust to the end.
Because my blade tentacle had already pierced King Poseidon’s heart.
King Poseidon coughed up blood.
“Kulk. Kulk.”
The blood King Poseidon spat out was washed away by the water.
Just then, a bullet fired by Lime-sensei hit the back of King Poseidon’s head.
As King Poseidon’s head melted away, his arm fell down, releasing the trident.
I pulled the tentacle out of King Poseidon’s chest.
King Poseidon’s body sank to the bottom.
It was a pathetic death for the King of a kingdom.
When King Poseidon died, the five water dragons also disappeared.
I wrapped my tentacle leg around the sinking trident and brought it over.
I felt a slight divinity from the trident.
As I pushed the Original Sin within my body into the trident, the trident vibrated painfully.
Soon, the trident’s golden shaft turned black and emitted an ominous energy.
The sacred trident, given by Goddess Elia and which had protected the Merman Kingdom for so long, was purified by darkness and became the Trident of Original Sin.
I planned to give this trident to my child who would manage the Merman Sea.
All the surrounding mermen watched their King die and screamed.
“No! No!”
“Your Majesty! Waaah. You Demon bastard!”
Lime-sensei, the Sahuagin guards, and Ctilla approached me, creating an atmosphere that prevented the mermen from approaching.
I looked at the battlefield and shouted loudly and confidently.
“The Merman King Poseidon is dead! Poseidon’s trident has received my baptism and has become the Trident of Original Sin!”
The Sahuagin heard my voice, chuckled, shouted, and spread the news.
“Kireuk kireuk. The Great One has killed the Merman King and taken the trident!”
“Kireureureuk. Kireuk. The Merman King is dead!!”
As this news spread to every area of the war, sadness, anger, and loss swept through the merman army,
and joy and hope filled the Sahuagin army.
Prince Climane had just inflicted a fatal wound on Kalkaria’s leg and was anticipating victory.
Half of Kalkaria’s thigh had been torn off.
But when Climane turned around, he saw his father’s body sinking without a head and Kyle holding his father’s trident.
Prince Climane called out to his father in anguish.
“Father!”
Prince Climane quickly charged at Kyle, wielding the trident imbued with Aura.
As the giant Kraken’s leg approached, Prince Climane struck it down with the Aura-imbued trident and charged again.
At that moment, a yellow bullet struck Prince Climane’s merman tail.
Prince Climane screamed in pain as his tail melted away.
“Kkeuaaaaaak!”
This happened because Prince Climane had already consumed a lot of stamina and mana in the battle with Kalkaria.
As Lucy-nuna’s ice spear pierced Prince Climane’s spine, he too sank into the sea.
The Merman King and Prince had both died.
The soldiers of the merman army screamed and were divided into those who rushed forward with the determination to die together, those who lost their target and stood blankly, and those who fled.
Ariel approached me and asked.
“Kyle. Did I do well?”
I stroked Ariel’s head, gave her a smile, and praised her.
“You did well. Thank you.”
Lucy-nuna approached and praised Ariel.
“You! I’ve got a new appreciation for you. Thank you for protecting Kyle~”
Ariel bowed politely and said.
“Of course, I had to. Unni.”
At some point, Ariel had naturally started calling Lucy-nuna “Unni.”
Ariel looked at me with a confident face and said.
“Kyle. I just discovered that my voice has a mysterious power, can I sing?”
I was puzzled and told her to go ahead.
Ariel began to sing a song imbued with magic in a sweet voice.
“La~ lalala la~~ lalala la~~~ Aaa ~~….”
Strangely enough, Ariel’s voice echoed throughout the entire army.
The tentacles and Sahuagin who heard the song only felt good because of the beautiful tone.
But the mermen were different.
The mermen who heard Ariel’s voice began to stab themselves in the neck one by one as if they were possessed by something.
Those with strong mental fortitude were not affected by this voice and stopped others.
“Come to your senses!”
“What are you doing!”
The merman magicians hurriedly chanted magic to strengthen their minds, but many weak merman soldiers had already committed suicide.
While the Sahuagin began to massacre the remaining mermen, Ariel’s sweet song continued to echo.
The corpses and blood of mermen overflowed in this vast sea.
The battle between the light and dark races to determine the ruler of the Merman Sea ended in the victory of the dark race.
Most of the merman army was dead, and the rest had fled.
There were no captured mermen because the Sahuagin had torn them apart and eaten them.
I and the Sahuagin army immediately advanced into the Merman Kingdom.
When we arrived at the huge hole that was the entrance to the Merman Kingdom, only a few mermen were guarding the entrance.
Below the huge hole, we could see the Merman Kingdom and the many ordinary mermen living their lives as usual.
Those who were trading, those who were shopping, children playing in the playground, those who were cultivating seaweed, etc.
They didn’t seem to know how the victory or defeat of this war had turned out.
Since the Sahuagin had won this war, there might be a food shortage someday if the Sahuagin population increased.
I told them to kill the mermen who resisted the Sahuagin and capture the rest to raise them as livestock and slaves.
All the Sahuagin cheered at my wisdom.
Ariel, who used to be a merman, had already become a tentacle hero to her soul, so she didn’t feel much regardless of what happened to the mermen.
The Sahuagin poured through the hole towards the powerless ordinary mermen, and the mermen who discovered this screamed.
The slaughter and abduction of mermen by the Sahuagin took place everywhere.
Kalkaria, who had stopped the bleeding by wrapping seaweed around his leg, led his tribe and several other tribes to attack and occupy the Merman Palace.
Other Sahuagin roamed the city, killing merman soldiers who resisted on the spot and dragging mermen who did not fight by the hair and imprisoning them in the dungeons of the palace.
When the prisons were full of mermen, they were now crammed into any building around the palace, and the Sahuagin guarded the buildings.
Ctilla also went down to the Merman Kingdom in Kraken form and enjoyed playing by destroying buildings.
Ctilla’s girlish laughter could be heard from here.
“Kyahahahaha! Kyahahaha! It’s fun! Destroying things is fun!”
The Merman Kingdom was very large, and in addition to the city where the palace was located, there were endless merman buildings around it.
They could not capture all the mermen in the kingdom in one day, but the powerless mermen were just easy prey for the Sahuagin.
Countless Sahuagin poured in endlessly from the hole and continued to spread throughout the kingdom.
I led my tentacle subordinates and entered the main gate of the Merman Kingdom’s palace.
When I entered, all the Sahuagin bowed their heads and cleared the way.
I confidently entered the throne room and sat on the golden chair on the highest platform.
Right below me stood Lucy-nuna, Melissa, Winston, Lime-sensei, Ariel, and below them were the tribal chiefs and Sahuagin powerhouses lined up.
I declared the end of the war with a proud expression.
“This war is our victory. All Sahuagin abandon the backward areas in the corners and now migrate to this place, which has become the Sahuagin Kingdom.”
The Sahuagin chanted in joyful voices.
“We will follow the Great One’s command!!!”
It has now been two weeks since we made this place the Sahuagin Kingdom.
The Sahuagin live in the good buildings of the kingdom, and Sahuagin children play and run around in the streets, while adult Sahuagin watch the children with satisfaction.
The Sahuagin were unfamiliar with the merman civilization at first, but as they continued to use it, they became accustomed to its convenience.
I and the tribal chiefs selected the smartest among the Sahuagin, gave them the position of researcher, and had them study the merman civilization.
Some smart people became slave researchers who studied how to educate and raise merman slaves.
The most important thing was to completely crush the mermen’s resistance.
The mermen were trapped in the palace’s dungeons and buildings hastily made into prisons, where they had to become food or receive slave education and serve the Sahuagin.
Mermen who tried to resist were torn apart by the Sahuagin’s claws in front of other mermen, and the terrified mermen lost their will to resist.
I taught the tribal chiefs how to give ranks to the slaves as well.
Lower-class slaves were raised like livestock and used as food,
Middle-class slaves were not used as food but were put to work in farming or cleaning,
Upper-class slaves were protected in exchange for directly serving the Sahuagin masters.
All the Sahuagin admired the wisdom of the Great One.
As a result, the number of merman slaves who voluntarily tried to please the Sahuagin increased.
An example of this was a merman politely explaining how to operate the seaweed farm in the kingdom to a Sahuagin researcher.
They were desperate because if their master abandoned them, they would immediately become lower-class slaves.
I, Lucy-nuna, Melissa, Winston, Lime-sensei, Ariel, and the girl-sized Ctilla became the owners of the rooms used by the royal family in the palace.
The tribal chiefs and maid or soldier Sahuagin lived in the rooms other than the royal family’s rooms.
The merman slaves who did the hardest work in the palace lived in worse places than that, and they were grateful just for not becoming food.
The ancient merman hero’s statue made of gold in front of the palace was torn down, and a statue of me made of gold began to be erected.
With the unanimous consent of all the tribal chiefs, totems modeled after me were erected throughout the Sahuagin Kingdom.
This was to allow the Sahuagin to worship me anytime, anywhere.
Merman slaves also had to bow their heads and pay respects when they saw my totem, and if they didn’t, they would be eaten by the Sahuagin on the spot, so the merman slaves desperately tried to accept me as a god.
I consulted with Ctilla and decided to move our eggs next to the palace as well.
The plan was to push away some sections of the city next to the palace and move Ctilla’s and my eggs there.
It was a huge construction project to dig out the land where the eggs were located and move the entire thing.
The Sahuagin were happy to participate, saying it was a glorious task to move the children of God, and Ctilla also went to help them with their work.
And I gave the Trident of Original Sin to Ariel.
I told her to give it to my child when Ariel became pregnant with my child, and Ariel was delighted to receive it.
Ctilla said that she didn’t really need the Trident of Original Sin.
Although Ariel was in merman form, she was a tentacle hero, my subordinate, so the Sahuagin, who were creatures of darkness, felt the tremendous Original Sin inherent in her and respected her.
The fact that she was the lover of God was also a reason that made Ariel sacred.
In the future, this kingdom could be entrusted to Ariel and my children who will be born someday.
Ctilla doesn’t seem to be very interested in running the country and seems to prefer living freely.
But Ctilla’s and my children will also be able to live happily in this kingdom as children of God.
The land humans did not know about the great war that took place inside the Merman Sea.
While the mermen and Sahuagin were at war, the humans around the Merman Sea continued to feel vibrations from the Merman Sea, but they all did not know the cause.
If a lot of time passes, the Merman Sea might change to the Sahuagin Sea.
It was one night a month after the war between the mermen and Sahuagin.
A small trade ship was passing over the Merman Sea.
On the trade ship, fisherman Tom was smoking a cigar and leaning against the ship’s railing, looking at the dark sea.
In the water in the direction Tom was looking, the head of a beautiful woman with red and luscious hair came up.
Tom rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had seen it wrong.
The woman remained in the same place.
When the woman’s body came up to her upper body, Tom realized that she was a mermaid.
Tom’s mouth opened and the cigar fell into the sea.
“I’m seeing a mermaid…. I’ll have to go to the gambling house as soon as I get to land.”
As Tom watched, the mermaid smiled and approached the ship.
When the mermaid waved at him, Tom also smiled awkwardly and waved back.
Tom got excited and called all the sailors.
“Everyone wake up!! There’s a mermaid here! Wake up quickly!”
The sailors and merchants who had woken up from their sleep all leaned against the railing and looked at the beautiful mermaid.
Some young sailors whistled and blew kisses.
As many people gathered, the mermaid began to sing.
Lalala~ lala~ lalalala~
As the sweet melody echoed, people began to fall into the song.
Soon, one by one, they jumped into the water as if possessed by the song, and after a while, there was no one left on the ship.
When the mermaid stopped singing, beings with the heads of fish came up from the sea.
They were Sahuagin.
The Sahuagin approached the ship and climbed aboard.
The Sahuagin climbed onto the ship, killed everyone left inside, and then drilled a hole in the bottom of the ship, causing it to sink.
The Sahuagin and Ariel returned to the Sahuagin Kingdom with the spoils of war and the humans who were food.
Tentacles were coming out of Ariel’s mouth, and the fact that the tentacles were soaked in blood made it seem like Ariel had already eaten a few people.
