Maiev's Judgment Sword, burning with blue holy flames, was swung out with a sudden force, directly turning several half-human, half-fish monsters into flying ash. These were all humans who were completely beyond saving. Their bodies had been eroded by that terrifying power, and there was no way to remedy it.
These fish-men were covered in gore, with scales and spines growing out of their bodies, sometimes in the place of hands, feet, or even entire heads.
But without exception, these guys' eyes were all dark blue. These half-human, half-fish monsters were very strong. Some of them could even fight the maintainers head-on. Sometimes, it took two maintainers to completely eliminate this kind of monster.
Fortunately, Marco's "Magic Purification" has a group mode, otherwise he would really be messed up by these guys. As the battle continued, Marco found that, in addition to some of the more complete changes in the half-human and half-fish, many people who were parasitized by strange insects would be affected by the magic of "Magic Purification".
Some of the soldiers who were afraid of the strange insects crawling into their heads were affected to some extent after receiving this magic, and some even returned to normal directly. Marco separated all these people and tried not to let his soldiers contact them.
Before knowing the specific parasitic ability of these strange insects, Marco did not dare to let his men contact these ghosts rashly. If he was not careful, it would be bad if he infected his own people.
"Aowu..."
A sharp and piercing sound came, and the short murloc fell to the ground with a painful cry. Its whole body was covered with terrible dark magic energy, which was consuming its vitality little by little.
The water circle that protected the merman's body also fell to the ground, seemingly losing its previous violent state. On its ugly fish head, Dani's snake whip was stuck, and the six snake head decorations made of special materials were constantly releasing venom into the merman's body in order to make it lose its combat ability.
"Danny, did you use too little poison? Why is this guy still moving!"
Moonshadow asked Dani in a strange tone. In the interval of her speaking, the merman was still struggling constantly, as if he would run away at any time.
Hearing this, Danny said with some surprise, "My dose of poison is enough to make a mammoth lose consciousness, but this little monster is so strange that it's not even affected. Its body structure is really amazing!"
Nymph conjured a trident from her hand and waved it at the position of the merman. Soon, a thunderbolt fell from the sky, striking the merman until half of his body was charred, and he passed out directly.
"Oh, it seems that the thunder and lightning effect is better. This guy is afraid of the air magic, just like the little mermaid! No wonder my dear gave her the trident. It seems that he also wants to protect her. Oh, I love him so much."
Dani said with a sudden realization, as if she had guessed why the poison would not work on the fishmen.
At the same time, Danny touched the necklace on her neck thoughtfully, and a blush appeared on her face.
Most of the poisons used by Danny were carried by water element energy, but when this carrier met the mermaid, it seemed not so effective.
It was not until the merman was injured by the nymph that Dani realized this. She felt a little regretful. She had also thot about using the enchanted crystal, but she gave up because she was worried that it would not work.
The battle lasted for a long time, and many half-human, half-fish monsters died at the hands of the Imperial soldiers. Although the soldiers fought bravely, more than 10 half-human, half-fish monsters still escaped into the White Blade River.
After Marco ordered the bodies to be burned, he went straight to the unconscious merman and used the "Magic Control" skill on the merman.
The merman still emanated a strange energy fluctuation. After Marco checked it, he found that the energy fluctuation on it was very similar to that of the White Walkers. It seemed that they came from the same source.
At Marco's signal, Dani used the dark magic "Confuse Mind" on this guy. Although this guy had a great resistance to this kind of dark magic, it was still tricked by Dani when it was seriously injured.
Marco took the opportunity to launch perception against the merman. The merman was a real creature from head to toe, and there was no trace of elemental and mechanical energy on his body, which meant that this guy was a real creature.
"Deep Ones!"
As the investigation deepened, these three words also appeared in Marco's mind, and he realized a trace of unusual meaning. It seemed that the Bolton family had received the help of some forces, and it was also related to the ancient force of the Deep Ones.
"Marco! This guy seems to be related to my people, and he seems to have the blood of our mermaid clan. Maybe he is the descendant of a lost clan! Huh! No, this guy seems to be a mixed blood, and the blood of the deep diver is awakening in his body."
Nymph's words came from the side, and Marco heard the words and directly lifted the perception, and said to Moon Shadow and them:
"This guy seems to have a crystal core in his head. It looks like the kind of crystal core in the ruins of the ancient tomb. I always thot that the crystal core was made to control the golem. I didn't expect that there would be this form, or these guys are also a kind of "golem", but they are more advanced."
After saying that, the "Flame Dragon Fire Tongue" appeared in Marco's hand, and he cut off the head of the merman with one sword. The Wind Dragon Guard on the side stepped forward to pick up the head of the merman and used a dagger to dig out the crystal nucleus.
Looking at the light purple liquid inside, Marco's heart was also full of doubts. He really couldn't imagine that the Ailing people, who were already a super civilization in his eyes, were actually just an inheritor of this civilization. However, such a mysterious civilization disappeared into the long river of history, which made Marco have to treat it cautiously.
In Marco's perception, there are still some fragmented memories of the murloc. Marco learned from its memory that they all seemed to come from a temple until they were swallowed by some mysterious creature.
Dreadfort, the main castle
Meanwhile, in a room in the Dreadfort, a beautiful red-haired woman was sitting on her beautiful goose-down bed surrounded by flowers. She had a beautiful face, a curvy figure, and a dark green silk robe that matched her fair skin, making her look like a queen.
"Your Majesty, the Mermaid Queen, there seems to be something wrong with our seeds. I can't feel their existence now. I guess there is something wrong with the troops of the White Blade River."
A blonde girl standing beside the red-haired woman slowly said, along with her there were three other beautiful girls of her age, they were wearing the same clothes, and looked like the servants of the red-haired beauty.
"Those guys are dead, so be it! Anyway, they were just some low-level creatures. At least we now know the strength of that Dragon King, so we won't suffer any losses from him in the future."
The red-haired woman nodded and said, as if in her eyes, the dead soldiers were just some insignificant items.
"But, Your Majesty, the Bolton family seems to be on the verge of collapse. Should we try to help them? The Valyrian Empire seems to be very powerful. If the Bolton family is destroyed, the power we have worked so hard to support may be destroyed."
At this time, a younger girl suddenly said, looking at her appearance, she seemed very worried about the safety of the Bolton family.
The red-haired woman turned her eyes to her, and without answering, she stared at her blankly.
"Queen! Please don't be angry. Ying is just afraid that it will affect your plan. There is no other meaning."
At this time, the girl who had spoken first quickly pulled the girl called Shadow down to kneel together, and explained to the red-haired woman.
And Ying seemed to have thot of something, and was trembling with her head lowered, as if she was facing some peerless beast.
The red-haired woman chuckled and said to the two people kneeling on the ground:
"Mei, what are you doing? I didn't say anything. Do you need to be so afraid?"
The two women kneeling on the ground did not speak, as if they were planning to answer their queen with silence.
The red-haired woman saw that neither of them had any reaction, and said with some lack of interest:
"Oh! It's not fun at all. Shadow! Come here, I forgive you."
A girl named Ying walked over and was pulled into the red-haired woman's arms. She gently smelled the girl's hair and her hand naturally reached into the "flower bush".
"Uh.."
The red-haired woman bit Shadow's shoulder, and blood flowed from it. Then the red-haired woman said to Shadow's ear:
"Does it hurt? No, it's nothing at all. You're as sweet as honey right now, so you don't know what pain is. Child, humans are disgusting and depraved creatures. They can be as docile and peaceful as sheep, or as fierce and cruel as wolves. No, no, no, or rather, they are fiercer than wolves.
That Bolton boy might say he loves you now, and he might say he loves me later, but one day he'll learn what you are and he'll be disgusted, he'll be repulsed, he might even want to kill you, because we're not the same species!"
The red-haired woman's words stung Ying's heart bit by bit. She was just about to open her mouth to refute, but a powerful consciousness invaded her mind. Then she seemed to have lived another life.
In this memory, Shadow is a carefree mermaid who saves a well-dressed man from a storm and is mistaken for a normal woman when she turns human after coming ashore.
The story after that was like a third-rate sadomasochistic story. The two fell in love with each other in the gradual process of getting along. After that, they returned to the palace with the man. In the end, the woman's identity was discovered. For the illusory treasures and the legend of immortality, the man first pulled out the woman's scales in the mermaid state, and then drew a lot of her blood. After using the woman, he sold her to a merchant ship and made her a ship chicken.
It was not until one day, when the ship she was on was caught in a storm and capsized, that she was able to escape. She eventually made her way back to her people, and she wailed and confessed to her tribe and her family, but she could not regain her strength and scales.
Looking at the shadow of tears flowing from the corner of her eyes, the red-haired woman smiled, put the blood-colored pearl condensed from the corner of her eyes in her hand, and said with a sigh of memory:
"Child! My tears have dried up, and now only blood can flow out, and this blood is not mine, it is all exchanged for my life, I no longer have the eternal life of the mermaids, now I can only use the flesh and blood of human death and fear to fill my body, continue my life, and turn them into my nutrients, so, do you think he will still love you so much?"
"No..no..Dommy..no.."
Ying wanted to refute, but she felt that she had nothing to say, because she found that her memory was constantly merging with the memory just now, and even the resentment and fear were retained.
Shadow was powerless to do anything about this, and could only stare blankly at the door, as if she had resigned herself to her fate. The red-haired woman skillfully undid her "bonds" and began to taste Shadow's "peaches", "strawberries" and "oysters".
When she was in high spirits, eight tentacles suddenly stretched out from behind the red-haired woman and entangled the other three girls. She kissed the girl in her arms and said vaguely:
"You will always be mine, no one can take you away, let's accept my seeds together! We will create more children to serve our great master!"
A strange energy dissipated in the room, and then a circle of water floated around the red-haired woman. The four girls also turned into four beautiful mermaids in the entanglement of tentacles. The terrible tentacles were intertwined with their fish tails, constantly wriggling.
Then the dark blue nite body also flowed out from the red-haired woman's tentacles, and it wrapped around the bodies of the four mermaid girls as if it had life, and the soul-stirring magic was chanted from their mouths.
This strange and disgusting scene was enough to scare an ordinary person to death on the spot. The mermaid girls were indeed very beautiful, but the wriggling insects on their fish tails made people unable to raise a trace of desire.
Blue energy fluctuations dissipated in this area, and there were four soldiers guarding the door. Their eyes were dull, and they seemed to have no reaction to the scene in the room that made people excited.
What the red-haired woman didn't know was that her dressing table seemed to be a little "off" today, just reflecting the scene on her beautiful flower bed, and it was very "coincidental" that the glass window of her room was just opened with a crack.
In a chamber in a tower of the Dreadfort, Domhnall Bolton was using Maester Spring's telescope to watch the guest room across the way, and when he saw the silver-haired horror he had no illusions, only fear.
"What the hell are these guys? No, if this continues, my family will be destroyed soon."
