Chapter 386 - 386 - Chaos (1/2)

”Princess… It's dangerous!”

”Princess, please don't go!”

Deep in the ocean, the entire mermaid race has assembled, facing the special mermaid princess in their race, which is about to enter the Forbidden Magic Cave that only certain mermaids are allowed to enter.

”Quiet! This is all for the sake of the glory of our Mermaid Race!”

”Don't stop the Princess from becoming stronger!”

”Yes, this is the perfect time for our Mermaid Race to genuinely become the ruler of the entire ocean!”

”As long as she fulfilled the dream of our race, we would forget her taboo act of mingling with the races that live in Land!”

The entire mermaid race is split into two groups.

One is the group that Margaret has led, dreaming of mixing up with the races in human society while the other group remains stubborn in their old ways, choosing to focus more on the ocean after pushing the Siren away.

”Hmph! You are so old-fashioned, it's a new era for our race! How long is our race going to keep hiding deep in the ocean without even knowing the world out there?”

”Yes, Princess is our hope! She will lead us into a new era! We won't have to keep worrying about the future of being troubled by the other races that live in the land after choosing to remain ignorant!”

”Fool! We are creatures of the sea! Why are you so intent on living in the land? This is our home, the territory where we are strongest! So why should we fear the other races that would become weaker, becoming easy to deal with from our territory? It's better to have nothing to do with them!”

”Yes! Haven't we been living well now without mingling with those other races? Why bother trying to understand them when they won't even try to understand us! Don't forget the pride that belongs to a mermaid race!”

When the two groups of mermaids are about to fight each other as their ideals clash, Margaret has calmly opened her mouth, effectively stopping the group of mermaids that couldn't decide on what to do.

”There is no need to fight over, as long as I pass the test and receive the power sleeping inside the Forbidden Cave, I will become the ruler of our mermaid race. Everyone will have no choice but to follow my orders because the oldest rule in our race will become effective.”

”...!!!”

It had been a long time and the group of mermaids had almost forgotten the set of rules left in their mermaid race regarding the Forbidden Cave.

Anyone, no matter what status the mermaid has in their race, the one who is able to pass the test and receive the power hidden in their Forbidden Cave would become the leader of the entire mermaid race.

Just as the Siren has the Forbidden Island with a set of rules, their Mermaid race also has a special place that isn't easy to enter.

So, if the Princess is able to accomplish the old rule, then she will become their genuine leader, no matter what opinion anyone has, they can only bow down their head.

”I'll definitely survive the test and receive the power. So, everyone needs to begin the preparation. I will let the entire world know about the existence of our Mermaid Race.”

”Yes, we will wait for the Princess to come back and lead our Mermaid Race to Glory.”

At the beginning of their race, no one else has managed to pass the test, while only a few people have managed to come back alive after failing.

And yet, everyone surprisingly believes that the Princess would be able to come back with the power their mermaid race has started to believe as simply impossible to happen after countless years had passed by.

Thus, unknown to everyone, the hidden storm that is about to plunge the entire world into chaos is just waiting to erupt.

...

”Boss, we promise to protect your wife and child at the cost of our life. Please, come to the frontline. Boss, we really need your help.”

Behind the suburb villa in the Imperial City, the male witch Eugene stands behind a taller man that is gazing upon a dense forest with utmost focus. And the entire time, the tall man had been protecting the most treasured existence in his entire life despite what had been occurring in the entire world.

A month has already passed by when the Siren has chosen to remain in the frozen lake while guarding the unborn child and a war occured just two weeks ago, which was started by the Mermaid Princess that has run away after the failed ambush in their villa.

The war-affected everyone, even the normal human has no choice but to be pulled in like every race needed to defend at the sudden attack of the Sea Monsters that has always remained docile in the ocean which has never bothered the people inland.

And aside from the mermaid race and Sea Monsters, there are also other sea demons and other sea races that had sided with them.

”Boss, our enemy is getting stronger, the number of the Sea Monster attacking is increasing. We also considered that a Sea Monster that is able to freely travel inland will soon appear rather than remaining close to the sea. The danger and potential trouble have increased, we really need your help.”

Despite the seriousness of the entire situation, Eugene can see that Claus had remained quiet and indifferent, just standing there with extremely focused eyes in a certain direction, appearing like he didn't hear the words that had just been spoken.

As I thought… cruelty… heartlessness… is the true nature of this person.

Eugene felt a chill run down his spine as he gazed toward his indifferent friend. He already perceives how hard and indifferent this person's heart really is in their early years, but he underestimates how heartless Claus could be.

Although Claus has certain care and love toward his family and the people he is close with, when it compares to the person that managed to truly enter his heart, they are simply nothing.

Even if the entire world is about to be destroyed and no matter how many lives are lost… Claus can ignore and give it up for the Siren's sake and wellbeing.

Countless people already died defending the crazy attack of the Sea Monster, demon, and other sea races in two weeks, and yet, the leader that should be leading the predicament war had remained in the suburb villa.

Although Claus has been giving strategic orders despite not being in the frontline, it was still completely different if he was to stay on their side rather than remaining in the suburb villa in the Imperial City.

Fortunately, Rafael, who has been traveling to hunt someone, had come back as soon as Xaver informed him what had been going on in the Heinrich Family, acting more as the true Commander while his younger brother insists on guarding the Siren.

”... ah... such a headache…”

While Eugene is having trouble with his stubborn and heartless friend, an old voice has suddenly spoken behind them, followed by a child's voice.

”Eugene, there is no need to worry about this stubborn punk anymore. You can go back and help out since you are also needed in the frontline. Tell my other foolish grandson that I'll definitely send this love-sick fool.”

”Uncle witch, don't worry. Although I understand how irresistible, amazing and wonderful my Father Snow is, I'll talk to Daddy Claus about it. After all, we also needed to deal with those bastards.”

”Uncle Eugene, I'll also convince Uncle Claus with Brother Flake. The powerful spells in my orb have been finally removed, so I will be able to use my full power and protect Uncle Snow and the baby.”
