Outrageous! Starting as the Elf King – Chapter 132

Chapter 132: Mermaids! Capture Sabrina! Being Targeted, Your Majesty, Wait!

Not long after.

Lin Yi followed the Saint Rank Mermaids to a grand hall.

This grand hall was also situated in the center of an inner lake.

It was quite spacious, capable of accommodating at least a thousand people simultaneously.

The pillars were extremely tall, exceeding a hundred meters, resembling pillars reaching the heavens.

The key was the extravagant decorations.

Lin Yi even saw Water Attribute Mana Gemstones embedded in the pillars of the hall, and through special magic restrictions, the pure Water Attribute Mana contained within them was forcefully extracted.

This resulted in the entire hall being enveloped in a dense Water Elemental Mana.

It gave people the feeling of being submerged in water.

“This is truly luxurious!”

Even Lin Yi felt envious.

Hundreds of Water Elemental Mana Gemstones were treated as mere decorations, it was extravagant to a somewhat excessive degree.

He even had the urge to reveal himself on the spot, suppress all the Mermaids in the hall, and then confiscate all those Water Elemental Mana Gemstones.

With his strength, as long as he was fast enough, he could barely manage to do it.

Even if he had to utilize the profound meaning of time and space, combined with Domain Power to create a Space-Time Cage, temporarily sealing those twenty or so Mermaids, it shouldn’t be a problem. （When mastering the Law, one would receive feedback and rewards from the World Law’s Origin. The reason it’s said to be a general situation is… ）

However, in the end, Lin Yi didn’t do it.

He felt that suppressing over twenty Saint Rank Mermaids just to rob them of some Water Elemental Mana Gemstones was a bit too petty in terms of his overall goals.

It would be better to take advantage of the Mermaids having their meeting and directly steal their treasury.

“Let’s listen to what they have to say first!”

Lin Yi suppressed his inner impulse.

He quietly concealed himself in the void behind the hall.

Not long after, a Mermaid wearing a golden long dress appeared in the hall.

She had long hair that reached her waist, a graceful figure, and an incredibly exaggerated bust.

She sat on the throne at the head of the hall, her long legs crossed.

The other Mermaids also retracted their fishtails, transforming into human forms.

They wore various magic long dresses, each one alluring and graceful, with astonishing body proportions. They took their seats on the chairs that had been arranged in the hall.

Twelve Mermaids on each side.

Their levels ranged from Saint Rank: Peak Level to Saint Rank: Initial Level.

As for the Mermaid sitting on the throne, she was also at Saint Rank: Peak Level.

However, relatively speaking, her aura was clearly stronger, surpassing the other Mermaids of the same rank.

In addition, Lin Yi keenly perceived a trace of an aura within this Mermaid that transcended the profound meaning of elements.

It was the Power of Laws.

Evidently, this Mermaid had already begun to touch upon the Laws.

It was possible that with a sudden epiphany, she could grasp the Power of Laws and ascend to the Demigod level.

According to the normal ascension sequence, professionals generally comprehend the profound meaning of Laws at Saint Rank: Peak Level, and then, with the feedback and rewards from the World Law’s Origin, they break through to the Demigod level in one fell swoop.

Because it’s said to be a general situation…

Because there are always exceptions to the rule.

Just like Lin Yi, he could rely on the special energy gained from killing enemies to break through to the Demigod level first, and then comprehend the Laws afterward.

This included native beings like Evra and the others.

They were no longer the same as the native beings.

Moreover, ascending to Demigod first and then comprehending the profound meaning of Laws was even easier.

It was very difficult for other native beings to achieve this, as they all had Realm Bottlenecks. They basically needed to rely on comprehending the profound meaning of Laws, coupled with the assistance of the World Law’s Origin, to break through the bottleneck.

◈◈◈

“Chieftain.”

“May I ask why you have summoned us in such a hurry?”

A Mermaid wearing a purple long dress spoke up in the hall.

The other Mermaids also turned their gazes towards the Mermaid Chieftain sitting on the throne.

The Mermaid Chieftain nodded slightly.

Her oval face, with skin as white as jade, was breathtakingly beautiful.

She spoke softly, her voice exuding nobility and a hint of laziness, “News has come from the north. The monitoring Water Monsters have discovered traces of the Deep Lake Giant Crab Clan. Those fellows have been hiding in a crevice near Island 78.”

Upon hearing this.

The Mermaids present all had their eyes light up.

Each one of them became excited.

This was good news!

They had been wanting to capture those giant crabs for a long time.

However, those giant crabs were too good at hiding, never giving them a chance.

Another Mermaid, wearing a blue long dress and possessing stunning beauty, stood up and said impatiently, “Chieftain, please entrust this task to me. I guarantee to capture every single one of those crabs!”

Before the Mermaid Chieftain sitting on the throne could speak.

The Mermaids in the hall began to clamor.

It was like a bustling marketplace.

“Sabrina, why do you have to get involved in everything?”

“Last time, you went on the mission to suppress the Iron Armored Snapping Turtles, and you weren’t satisfied with capturing two Saint Rank Iron Armored Snapping Turtles. Now you want to snatch this mission too?”

“Exactly! You can’t hog all the good things.”

The Mermaids present all expressed their dissatisfaction.

Their missions weren’t solely for the benefit of the clan, they also stood to gain personally. The biggest benefit was controlling powerful or highly talented Water Monsters.

The reason for controlling Water Monsters…

Was because the Mermaid Clan wasn’t skilled in direct combat.

They needed to rely on the strength of Water Monsters to protect themselves and even fight for them.

Therefore, Water Monsters were directly related to their personal interests.

In the Mermaid Clan, one’s strength wasn’t determined by their own level but by the number of Water Monsters they controlled.

The more Water Monsters they controlled, the higher their status within the clan.

And the greater their influence.

“So she’s Sabrina?”

While the Mermaids were arguing over the mission.

Lin Yi, concealed in the void, looked at the Mermaid wearing the azure blue long dress and couldn’t help but think to himself, “It seems I saw this Mermaid before in a palace on the second island. At that time, she was still in her human form with a fishtail, leisurely bathing in a pool, displaying her astonishing curves… I didn’t expect her to be Bazelert’s former master, Sabrina.”

Lin Yi made a mental note of it.

He planned to see if there was a suitable opportunity later to capture this Mermaid.

This wasn’t for the purpose of eating seafood, of course.

Although now, this Mermaid named Sabrina had also grown long, straight legs…

He intended to control Sabrina.

If he could subdue Sabrina, it would make his future conquest of Mermaid Island much more secure. After all, she was a Saint Rank: Peak Level Mermaid.

Out of the over twenty Mermaids present, only five had reached Saint Rank: Peak Level.

One of them was the Mermaid Chieftain.

Planting such a spy would be very helpful to his plan.

“Enough of this bickering! How unbecoming!”

At this moment, the Mermaid Chieftain sitting on the throne spoke in a calm voice.

The noisy hall instantly fell silent.

The Mermaid Chieftain’s gaze swept across everyone in the hall, and then she said, “Kunty, this task is entrusted to you. The Deep Lake Giant Crab Clan is not weak, take three Elders with you.”

Hearing this, many of the Mermaids present showed disappointment.

But this was the Chieftain’s order, they dared not object.

The Mermaid named Kunty nodded excitedly, stood up, and bowed, “Rest assured, Chieftain, I will capture all those Deep Lake Giant Crabs!”

Her level had also reached Saint Rank: Peak Level.

But the number of Water Monsters she controlled wasn’t many.

◈◈◈

This mission was a perfect opportunity for her to increase her strength.

“Be careful.”

The Mermaid Chieftain said softly, then changed the subject, “Stay put for a while and don’t provoke those Unicorns. I’ve received news that a sizable Elf Legion has appeared in the Demonized Forest. It’s presumed they came from the Elf Imperial Capital Ruins, but their exact strength is still unknown!”

This was the real reason she had summoned all the Mermaids.

Compared to the appearance of an Elf Legion, what was a bunch of giant crabs that would eventually become their food?

Sure enough, after hearing her words, the Mermaids present all became serious.

As for Mermaid Sabrina, the expression on her beautiful face changed drastically. She quickly said, “Chieftain, I have an Octopus Water Monster named Bazelert that perished near the Demonized Forest not long ago.”

The Mermaid Chieftain immediately sat up straight.

Her curves became even more striking as she asked, “Did the Elves do it?”

Sabrina shook her head and said, “I’m not sure, but I sent a group of Fishmen to investigate two days ago. At their speed, they should be arriving soon.”

The Mermaid Chieftain said, “The death of a Water Monster is not important. Have those Fishmen gather more information about the Ruin Elves. Make sure they don’t get discovered, it’s best to stay hidden in the swamp waters, Elves are not good at underwater combat.”

“Understood!”

Sabrina nodded.

“Alright, you are all dismissed.”

“Don’t disturb me unless it’s urgent. I’m going into seclusion for a while.”

The Mermaid Chieftain sitting on the throne said.

Hearing this, the Mermaids in the hall all showed expressions of delight.

They knew that the Chieftain was preparing to break through to the Demigod level.

This was a great event for the entire Mermaid Clan.

Lin Yi, hidden in the void, also raised an eyebrow. From the tone of her voice, he could tell that this Mermaid Chieftain with astonishing curves was very confident about ascending to Demigod.

“Let’s see if you’re faster or I’m faster!”

Lin Yi muttered to himself.

His ‘experience bar’ was long, but with the expansion of his army’s scale, a vast amount of special energy was constantly gathering within his body. His Mana Lake was growing stronger every moment.

He wasn’t actually that far from ascending to Demigod.

◈◈◈

After all the Mermaids left the hall.

Lin Yi also quietly departed.

From beginning to end, not a single Mermaid noticed his presence.

He followed behind Sabrina, following her as she flew away from the largest Mermaid Island and entered the palace on her own island and inner lake.

As soon as she returned, Sabrina reverted to her Mermaid form.

Her long, straight legs transformed into a shimmering fishtail.

The azure blue long dress on her body also disappeared, revealing large swathes of snow-white, smooth skin.

She leaped and plunged into the clear pool.

Her movements were as graceful as a fish swimming in the water.

“Truly beautiful!”

Lin Yi exclaimed, then decisively took action.

The profound meaning of space and time erupted instantly, combining with Domain Power to form a cage, directly enveloping the entire pool.

Sabrina’s beautiful face showed a look of shock.

This was their Mermaid Clan’s base camp.

An enemy had actually infiltrated unnoticed and was attempting to suppress her.

Her reaction was swift.

An azure blue Domain World expanded from within her.

But before it could fully spread, it was frozen by the solid space-time.

“The Power of Space!”

Sabrina’s face changed drastically.

As expected, those who came with ill intentions were not to be trifled with.

She wanted to resist, but she couldn’t withstand the terrifying power of space-time.

She could only watch helplessly as the Space-Time Cage that imprisoned her rapidly compressed, turning into a fist-sized sphere in the blink of an eye. Inside the sphere was clear pool water, and a Mermaid was trapped within, unable to move.

Lin Yi grabbed the sphere and once again vanished into the void.

He didn’t leave in a hurry.

Instead, he returned to the largest Mermaid Island.

He moved through the void, searching for the location of the Mermaid Clan’s treasury.

However, after a long time, he had searched the entire Mermaid Island and still couldn’t find any clues related to the treasury.

“Could it be on another island?”

Thinking of this, Lin Yi went to the other five Mermaid Islands and searched them all.

But after searching one by one, he still found nothing.

“This is strange!”

Lin Yi stood in the void, looking at a group of Mermaids playing in the water not far away, and muttered to himself, “I’ve searched all six Mermaid Islands, and I haven’t found any trace of a treasury, not even an ordinary warehouse for storing clan resources.”

“This can only mean one thing.”

“The Mermaids have stored their treasures and clan resources in an even more secret place.”

“It’s highly likely to be a Dimensional Space!”

“Or perhaps inside a powerful artifact that possesses a Dimensional Space.”

“If such an artifact truly exists, then it must be on the Mermaid Chieftain…”

Lin Yi had the urge to take the Mermaid Chieftain away as well.

But at this moment.

He suddenly became alert, sensing a pair of eyes watching him from the shadows.

Those eyes possessed a very strange power, as if they were trying to freeze the space around him.

“A Space Controller?”

“It doesn’t seem like it, it’s probably some kind of special secret technique!”

Without hesitation, Lin Yi tore open the void and disappeared.

When he reappeared, he was already hundreds of kilometers away from the Mermaid Archipelago.

He didn’t stop, continuing to teleport through space.

He only stopped after completely leaving the Mermaid Clan’s territory.

However, not long after he stopped, the feeling of being watched from the shadows returned.

“They can even follow me here?”

“I’ve most likely been marked!”

Lin Yi searched his entire body, but he couldn’t find any mark.

Suddenly, he saw the sphere in his hand that imprisoned Mermaid Sabrina and instantly understood.

“Either kill her or keep running…”

Lin Yi chose the former.

He exerted a slight force, and countless cracks appeared on the sphere in his hand. Sabrina, trapped inside the cage, also showed an expression of pain. She felt as if her body was being torn apart.

“Your Majesty, wait!”

A clear and delicate voice suddenly came from the distant sky.

Lin Yi looked up.

As he expected, the person in the shadows had finally been lured out.

Not long after, a figure wearing a dark purple long dress appeared within Lin Yi’s sight.

At that moment, Lin Yi’s pupils constricted sharply.
