Chapter 169 - Chapter 1: Shocking News - The True Identity of General Shuichi (Part 2)

"Ales, you are already the king of the mermaids, how can you still be so immature? Is this a small thing to be surprised about?"

There was no expression of joy or anger on the face of the old mermaid king, but his words calmed Alex down.

"So now I should call you General Shuichi?"

"Haha, if you like, you can call me Water General Giagru."

Watching the conversation between the two, Caesar was completely unable to get a word in. The commander of the legion composed almost entirely of human undead, General Shuichi, was actually the mermaid king of the previous generation. How could this be connected? He could never have imagined it in his dreams. It seemed that the mermaid palace coup was most likely the work of this old guy who crawled out of the grave.

Ares could not suppress the anger in his heart. His most respected father had actually fallen into the undead. "Why, why on earth is this happening? Is the desire to live so strong that you can abandon everything!"

The Mermaid King doesn't look old at all, and the feeling of undead is not very strong. In fact, he is a little younger than Alex. It seems that the Undead Lord has given him a lot of things.

"Only the dead know how wonderful it is to live and enjoy time and vitality. Aries, obey me and lead your people to submit to the great undead monarch Visdru. There is no power in this world that can stop him, not even the sea people, and not even humans!"

Ares stared at his former father, "No, no, my father is dead, you are not. You are just an undead now, a fallen soul. The noble mermaids will never fall, so don't dream on!"

"Hehe, Ares, do you want to resist me with just your strength?"

"Giagro, it's a bit too much to claim that you can fight against the sea people with just this little bit of undead power. The power of the undead will never surpass that of the living people!"

"Haha, Aries, don't be so stubborn. The resurrection of the Undead Lord has changed the balance of power. You have also seen the changes in the Undead and the army outside. Under my leadership, it will not be difficult to flatten the Mermaid King City."

"Old man, have you heard the saying that it is better to die in glory than to live in dishonor? Stop whining and take out Princess Elena's antidote. You can fight or make peace as you please."

Every moment was precious, and Caesar was best at getting used to the oddities, even such incredible events.

"Haha, that's fine. Let's get down to business first. Aries, did you bring the Poseidon Map?"

Seeing Ales take out the small box, Giaglu nodded, "Very good, one-sixth of the Poseidon map and Caesar are both here, put them down, you can go back and think about my proposal carefully, I really can't bring myself to destroy the Mermaid King City with my own hands."

"Where's the antidote?"

Caesar roared. His patience was extremely limited and he became extremely anxious when he thought that Elena was in danger.

"Antidote? Young man, when have you ever heard of an antidote for dragon plague?"

Giaglu acted as if it was a matter of course. He was willing to degenerate even his soul, let alone tell a lie.

Caesar stared at the young old undead, and laughed in anger, "Remember, the undead must pay the price for what happened today!"

Caesar didn't have the time to argue with him. He had to rush back to the Mermaid Palace immediately!

But the undead flashed and blocked Caesar's way. He ignored Caesar and said to Ares, "Put down the Poseidon Map and think about it carefully. Do you have the confidence to go against me?"

At this time, Ares was finally able to stand up and speak. He could not suppress his longing and admiration for his father, but he had to face the cruel reality. The once arrogant and proud Mermaid King had completely fallen!

Ales took a deep breath and said, "Giagro, since you don't have what we want, there is no need for us to stay. The next time we meet, it's either you or me!"

The undead looked at Ares with a bit of disdain, "Since you are here, don't even think about leaving. For our sake, I didn't fail to give you a chance!"

Ales Caesar winked and attacked at the same time. They have been suppressed by the Mermaid King since they came to this hall. Both of them could feel that the water element here would automatically lean towards the undead. It seems that after the old Mermaid King was resurrected, not only did his youth recover, his strength did not weaken, and even increased.

For a magician, strength is largely proportional to age, and Giaglu's use of magic is even more superb.

The only ability of Aries is to control the water element, but his tricks are almost all taught by his father, especially the secret magic of the mermaid tribe. The most terrifying thing is that he found that the water elements in this area hardly obey his control.

"Elemental realm!"

Giaglu fended off Caesar's attack, his body drifting like a ghost. "That's right, this is the highest realm of water magic that no living person can reach in their lifetime. In my domain, all water magicians will become useless."

"Shit, I can use more than just magic!"

Due to the constant suppression, Caesar's sea fighting spirit exploded with extraordinary ferocity. He immediately threw out a double punch. Caesar's speed was fast enough, but his body was continuously obstructed in mid-air, as if there were several invisible walls.

Caesar himself knew that this was a water shield, but he did not expect that the opponent's use of water magic had reached this level. What a magician desires most is the improvement of magic control and magic power as he grows older, but at the same time his body is also weakening, and... the old monster in front of him has endless power, and the power of the undead will never be exhausted.

Caesar felt a headache. With his current strength, he had no chance of winning against this monster. Being a hero was not his style. The best strategy was to retreat.

Smart people understand things quickly. Aries took out the space scroll and with Caesar standing in front of him, he was still able to block the opponent's attack.

But Giaglu was not in a hurry at all. "Space scroll? Aries, you are still so simple-minded. I invited you here with great difficulty. How can I let you go so easily?"

As expected, the space scroll could not be activated at all. This underground maze was full of space cracks. Any use of space magic would have random effects. If you insisted on using it, you might be torn apart by the power of space.

They have no way out.
