Demacia was thrilled, his eyes lit up with joy as he continuously messaged the Guard Brigade and Xiahou Fuxing outside. One screenshot after another caused Xiahou Fuxing outside to scream in disbelief.
Demacia had already reserved 30% of his health, and when Xiahou Fuxing bombarded him with spells, he always aimed precisely.
With the support of the Blood Recovery Potion, he certainly wouldnât be hurt directly. According to the records, mermaids were a kind-hearted race, always saving those who were drowning, let alone someone injured for their sake.
Moreover, these mermaids were all juveniles, and manipulating the situation was easy.
"Thatâs about the situation. We wonât be in any danger, Demacia, you should still leave." A weak female mermaid said.
Beside her lay a pile of fruits, which Demacia had previously given to the young mermaids.
But in the end, they brought most of them here, leaving only a few fruits consumed by the injured ones.
"No, since you saved me, I canât just do nothing. You just mentioned that a secret realm divided you and teleported you to three continents. There must be a solution in that secret realm, and I want to help you!"
Demacia spoke with a solemn face while accepting the task amidst the chatting groupâs Versailles frenzy.
Hum~
Immediately, a Seven-Star Title appeared on his panel.

The weak mermaid was about to refuse his goodwill when she suddenly felt a change in the humanâs aura.
A strange sense of familiarity washed over her, as if facing... the Sea Demon Race from records.
She fell silent.
The Netherworld invaded the Bohai Sea, initially targeting the largest nearby group on the continent, the Merfolk Race.
A powerful demigod suppressed them absolutely, and although the Mermaid Queen used all her strength to severely wound the injured demigod, they still couldnât stop the Netherworldâs invasion.
In the end, the merfolk could only lead the old, weak, sick, and young into the Divine Secret Realm they had guarded for generations, and when the Netherworld invaded the secret realm, a special force dispersed them all across Xia.
Although mermaids are not a singular group, here they were the royal family.
The royal family must not perish.
Mermaids have their own responsibilities.
"This is dangerous... youâre too weak... it will..."
"I never fear life or death!"
Demacia, full of righteousness, interrupted the mermaidâs words.
"Ms. Vina, my power may be small, but I never fear death. I am a Summoner, and I aspire to be a friend to all races, including mermaids!"
Vina looked at Demacia, her weak eyes filled with a hint of emotion, and for a moment, she didnât know what to say.
"Demacia, are you really going?" Vina repeated, "Itâs really fatal, the mermaidsâ territory has been completely occupied by the Netherworld. I canât be sure whether any Netherworld forces remain; if you go... itâs certain death..."
"Of course..." Demaciaâs eyes were firm, and just as he was about to say something, he suddenly stopped.
He sensed a powerful will descend, and a gentle voice spoke, "Demacia?"
"Mr. Baiyi?" Demacia exclaimed in surprise, instantly recalling a special bonus Ă1.
Hiss~
As expected from a Divine-level Task, bringing our boss directly into the battlefield!
Outside the cave, Xiahou Fuxing and the Guard Brigade watched the developments in the video and fell silent.
Xiahou Fuxing typed: [Youâre damn lucky! Why am I always the villain? I want to be the protagonist too!]
Guard Brigade: [....]
Guard Brigade: [Can I say it was I who discovered the task?]
"Yes, itâs me. I sensed a special summon. Whatâs happening?"
"Itâs like this..."
Mr. Baiyi listened to Demaciaâs account, his eyes thoughtful. Although the panel also gave him a task, it didnât require him to complete Demaciaâs task personally, only to lend Demacia his strength once.
That is, the new specialty Demonâs Will.
However, this mode is quite interesting, and as for granting Demacia a boost, it didnât matter much. He didnât even need to leave the City Lordâs Mansion; otherwise, he wouldnât have agreed to the task.
Moreover, the task rewards were quite decent.
