Derek and Ariel, who had finished paying attention to the mermaids, then focused on implementing his idea. Volcano burn sharks and secret headquarters.
"Ariel.... Try to take out the gills and put out the head" Derek walked towards Ariel to prepare the fish they were going to eat.
"Okay, Dad," said Ariel, who obeyed her father's orders. Ariel with her bare hands, took out the shark gills she got one by one later, she used both of her hands to decapitate the heads of the three sharks.
"Dad, I'm done following your orders," Ariel happily showed the shark head in her hand with blood.
"Good, good job... Ariel Now Let's find Volcano"
"Daddy, it's better to eat it now."
"No, no... No, I don't like raw food, our best option now is to find a fire that seems impossible in this ocean than to cook this food a volcano is the solution, and at the same time I want to make a base in it."
Derek happily explained that his real intention was to find the volcano.
"Volcanoes are usually in the deeper ocean, as far as I've been all along, even before you changed it, Father, I never found a single volcano near here."
Derek was shocked by the words spoken by Ariel, apparently after turning into a high human. Ariel still has memories of her time as a snake.
"Then, what can we do now"
"We can follow and ask the mermaids, as far as I can remember, the mermaids know many hidden areas in this ocean."
"Good idea, let's follow those mermaids"
Their goal had been set, Ariel stood up to prepare to follow the mermaids. Derek who saw the slightest opportunity to walk, jumped up and climbed on Ariel's shoulder.
"Dad... don't you want to walk alone"
"No, you're here so why do I have to walk alone... Come forward, Ariel... Follow the mermaids"
Ariel heard that and walked after the mermaids in hopes of finding a way to the volcano. Derek enjoyed chasing the mermaids, he enjoyed the sight of sitting on Ariel's shoulder, this was one of his decisions that he could be proud of.
"Dad, Dad, I changed from a snake to a high human. I want to ask what is the difference between an ordinary human and a high human and why did you change me?"
Derek heard a question from Ariel who was curious about his origin. Derek didn't mind explaining it. Derek is a pretty good person (he thinks), he doesn't do everything because of social rules.
In the previous world, he was a person who was quite fed up with hearing other people's orders, and as long as he had the power to do whatever he wanted now.
"It's quite simple, we high humans don't age and have high regeneration, high humans are creatures that can adapt to all their environments, we don't breathe and don't age."
"High Human's appearance is the same as the most beautiful human ever, and the reason I changed ypu was because I needed a person bring me a food to eat."
Derek explained the difference between humans and high humans. There is one explanation that he may exaggerate, such as the appearance of a high human.
"Why didn't you eat me back then?"
"You're too raw and I'm a little lonely"
"Means I'm treating your loneliness, Dad"
"That's how it is, ... Don't ask too many more questions. Just go for it" After a long conversation, they didn't get close to the mermaids at all.
Mermaids are known as the best swimmers in the ocean. Chasing them is a very difficult thing. The Mermaids Charlotte and Asmayah swim fast without knowing that someone is chasing them.
"Dad, we're getting further and further away from them, if we continue like this, we can't reach them"
Ariel, who saw them keep moving away, started running but they still couldn't catch up at all.
"Run as hard as you can and just follow them until they stop or we lose them"
Ariel follows her father's orders and runs with all her might to chase after the mermaids. The ground shook because of its tremendous weight. Rocks jumped around; animals moved away from them.
"Oh Dad, i forgot something, I found something extraordinary, it seems like this treasure makes the fish refuse to come close because of it" Ariel handed over the treasure box that she was carrying in her left hand, she didn't have time to show it to her father because of this sudden change of events.
"Where... let me take a look first" Derek received a wide-sized treasure box with his hands folded. And suddenly a holographic notification appeared in front of him.
[-600]
[body radiation poisoning]
[Radiation Resistance (Max) acquired]
[Hyper adaptation (Level 1) has advanced to level 2]
[Derek Wilton has advanced to level 58]
[The points obtained have accumulated over 100]
Derek saw that the treasure in front of him contained radiation, he was surprised, how could there be an object that contained radiation here? Derek opened the treasure and inside was a green magic ball emitting radiation.
"Which crazy person dares to make a magic ball out of what looks like uranium, I want to meet that person now, this thing isn't very useful right now so let's just keep it first"
Derek opened the gate to the white room and inserted the radiation magic ball into it.
"Wait a minute, I forgot to distribute my points, there are 166, I leveled up so much, it must have been my fall into the deep sea killing a lot of creatures"
Derek put 50 into strength, 50 into vitality 30 intellect, 15 dexterity and 10 will, and 7 luck.
"Now that I see my HP increased by 2000 and my MP doubled, wow, the power of art rocks"
Derek was overjoyed to see him getting stronger again, he always felt happy to get stronger because Derek felt a little closer to his dreams, and he wasn't afraid of any threat that came his way.
Derek who was not focused suddenly fell forward because Ariel's sudden stop made Derek fall from her shoulder.
"Ariel, why did you suddenly stop" Derek shouted at Ariel.
"Dad, there's a ravine in front of us; do you still want to follow them"
Derek turned around behind him and what he saw was an abyss that he couldn't see in front of him.
"Really !, in there, let's jump for the sake of the fiery mountain"
"Alright Dad, get on my shoulder again" Derek jumped on Ariel's shoulder and the two of them jumped in without thinking long at all.
