Chapter 569 - 289: Damn Alchemist

"Don’t make a sound... let’s get out of here first."

Demacia whispered as he left, following Er Shu, for about two kilometers before he barely managed to catch his breath.

"Meira, is that the Divine Secret Realm?"

Demacia exhaled deeply; he was gradually getting used to the sensation of breathing in seawater.

"Yes."

Meira remained silent, her pure eyes lacking much luster.

The beautiful life crumbled in an instant, and all familiar things around her — her family, her father, her mother, and various playmates — were gone.

While by Vina’s side, the Little Mermaids could barely deceive themselves, but once they returned to this desolate place, all those deliberately ignored emotions surged up, filling her already immature mind with dead silence.

"That’s troublesome. We have to go in to find a way to unlock the secret treasure."

"Secret treasure?" Meira had a slight emotional fluctuation.

"Uh... it means the treasure inside the Secret Realm, something guarded by a powerful race, something that can save the Mermaid Race, surely it can be called a treasure." Demacia scratched his head, explaining somewhat awkwardly.

Meira lowered her head and said softly, "I have a way..."

"What?"

"I will distract the Queen, and you can go in, okay?"

"No!" Demacia refused decisively.

In the gaze of the Mermaid, he thought for a moment and then smiled, saying, "We can always find new ways. How about this: I’m a Summoner, we make a contract, and then leave the rest to me!"

Meira’s eyes were filled with dead silence: "No need, I’ll distract her, you go in, you promised to save the Mermaid Race."

"Don’t be like this Meira, there’s always a way to survive when alive, we can always find a path in, you can’t give up on yourself." Demacia was very anxious, looking at the dimness in the pure eyes of the Mermaid, he didn’t know what to say for a while.

Indeed, as the Guard Brigade said, contracting a Mermaid wasn’t the optimal choice for him. Although every version update would take a long time, 100 years is too long, it would be better to contract some races with extremely fast growth speed and stronger combat power.

But... in Demacia’s eyes, this was a person...

A person with thoughts, a soul, and also so adorable, just dying like this... he wasn’t one of those perverts using games to vent, it’s hard to watch Meira go to her death.

Meira looked at him, and after a long while, she nodded gently: "Okay, let’s sign."

Demacia frowned, watching as there was no change of emotion in Meira’s eyes.

After a long time, suddenly he reached out his hand.

The Golden Level physique allowed him to knock her out before Meira could react.

Guard Brigade: [Hiss~ What you’re doing is... unwise, Brother Dema. The Mermaid Secret Treasure is likely to be opened only by the Merfolk Race.]

Demacia: [Likely, it doesn’t matter, let’s go in and see first.]

He turned back for a look, and softly said: "Er Shu, take me out of here first. Let’s leave the Mermaid Capital."

"Squeak squeak squeak?"

"We have to try, if we die, then we die. It’s best you all don’t die. I don’t believe that Golden Level Demacia can’t get through a broken door! Sacrifice, my a**."

"Squeak squeak squeak..."

"Hehe, do you feel like your Summoner is awesome? I thought so too, hahaha..."

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

"Damn, we’ve been noticed, Er Shu, quick, run!"

After Demacia went through many perils, he finally left the Mermaid Capital, searching all around, only to find scenes shrouded by the Nether Fog everywhere, as if the imagined safe spots in the wild didn’t exist.

Demacia pondered for a moment, snapped his fingers, and Er Shu disappeared helplessly, reappearing with a shovel.

Demacia decisively started digging, and when a huge pit three meters deep appeared, Demacia placed the unconscious Mermaid at the bottom, then set up a Sealing Array and an Isolation Array, leaving behind some food.

Demacia covered the Mermaid with soil, clapping his hands, "See, isn’t the problem solved?"

He proudly said: "Want to make a contract with me and then suddenly run out to distract the boss, giving me a deep line: ’Dema... you said you would save the Mermaids’, and then die? That plot is outdated."

"Now it’s the players bravely venturing the world!"

Guard Brigade: [6.]

Demacia: "Hehe, are you not amazed by my brilliance?"

Guard Brigade: [Nope, moved to tears by your stupidity. What if you die, how do you come back?]

Demacia: "You’re the stupid one, your whole family’s stupid. If I die, I’ll find the Big Mermaid, and try the same method."

"If Meira dies, I only have one chance, and if I die too, the mission will definitely fail."

"As long as Meira is still there, and I can prove she’s alive, even if I die, I can find the Big Mermaid, explain the situation, and with the player’s advantage, there’s a good chance of coming back.

Every Mermaid has a chance to return here, since the panel says the Divine Secret Treasure can save the ocean."

"Then I’m determined to be this savior!"

Guard Brigade: [Hiss~ a path never thought of, could you really be a genius?]

Demacia: "Heh, you’re the smart one, I already have some ideas, watch how Bro leads the ocean to overturn the tables with one life!"

"Er Shu, let’s go, once back there, check out my new space."

"Squeak squeak squeak..."

-----------------

The breath of the Giant Dragon, magic, and the curses of the Netherworld, along with the Power of the Soul, collided.

The sunset at the edge of the sky was obscured in the collision, the power of the demigods was too strong, making the legendary-level existence completely lose any thought of resisting.
