Fierce Battle

Derek furrowed his brow staring unhappily at the two merfolk who were interrupting his appetite. Derek is a person who likes to eat, especially now, he wants to eat more after years of not eating anything.

Derek wanted to finish his secret volcano base project and eat again after that but two merfolk interrupted him, making him lose his appetite and mood at the same time.

"Once again stop being an ignorant human, we are here for the sake of the people, don't you know what has happened because of your actions"

"I know and I realize, I triggered the earthquake and tsunami, I triggered the death of many people"

"Then after knowing that, you didn't feel anything?"

The active Ocelot argued with Derek in a loud voice. Ocelot with a glowing coral spear in his hand drew the spear towards Derek.

"Ocelot calm down, we don't know what humans are capable of but one thing is for sure, they are both strong."

John who was beside Ocelot reminded Ocelot to be careful because somehow, they both managed to survive in the deep sea.

"Get out of my way you ignorant merfolk, I want to eat and you can't force me to do otherwise."

John and Ocelot couldn't stand this nonsense of arguing. If they kept arguing, no one would give in but it was a waste of time.

"Then you're dead."

Ocelot with his spear advanced towards Derek at a fast brawling speed. Beside him, John followed him. Derek saw that, and he also prepared to attack.

[Body Reinforcement] [Magic MMA] [Void Energy] [-1000 MP]

A distinct intimidating radiance of energy emanated from Derek's body. A purplish silver glow enveloped him. Ocelot and the one swimming next to him also activated their skills.

[Merfolk Fighting Technique] [Spear Blessing] [Poison Thrust]

Ocelot and John activated their full power to neutralize Derek, sensing that this battle was very difficult. Ocelot and John who activated their skills were then enveloped in metals that formed their defensive armor.

Their tails become more powerful their tails sharpen, their heads are protected and their shell spears turn into tridents.

Ocelot and John share the task, Ocelot will attack Derek while John will attack Ariel.

The speed of the merfolk was incredible, Ariel who flashed with her [Poison Fang] didn't hit them at all. John took the opportunity and stabbed Ariel in the stomach easily due to their speed.

Meanwhile, Derek who had been preparing saw in front of him with a sour face, a spear. He hurriedly avoided it but the spear still hit his neck.

[-2000 HP]

Ocelot smiled as her attack hit the mark. Derek on the other hand, felt the sting. With all his strength, Derek punched Ocelot, who had not escaped from his neck.

Derek was knocked back by the massive attack delivered by Derek. His armor was broken and his body was injured "He's very strong" Said Ocelot.

[+2000] [Poison Resistance (Max) acquired]

Derek's Hyper-Adaptation, 1000 times experience, and Super-Regeneration worked very well. The severe wound on his neck healed instantly, and he also gained poison resistance. Derek didn't take any time while his healing lasted; he unleashed all his strength.

[-5000 MP]

Derek clenched his fist and poured his mana into the ultimate technique he called Heaven's Fist, a combined technique of body reinforcement, Magic MMA, and void energy united. He who was already beside Ocelot then punched her. A huge burst of purple-colored energy emanated from his fist.

"He's another monster" were the last words Ocelot uttered before he was hit by Derek's heavens's fists. The energy blast brought great destruction beyond where Ocelot had fallen.

The impact was so great that John, who was busy dealing with Ariel, couldn't help but turn around and see his partner disappear without a trace. John saw that very angry but he couldn't do much.

John was a level-headed person, if he went up against him, he would also be lost like Ocelot. After all, their strength was equal and he knew that. Therefore, facing him now would be foolish.

"I surrender, spare my life and I can give you information about Leviathan, your next meal"

John knelt in front of Ariel who was happy with the way things were going.

"Alright, tell me, where is my next meal"

Derek, who had not deactivated his skill, ran over with his power. Quickly, Derek was in front of the two of them, which surprised both of them, as Derek displayed his speed in the deep sea.

"He is in the deepest ocean in the world sleeping, this meat would be very delicious if you eat it"

"You tricked me didn't you, you wanted to make me fight with your big problem, didn't you"

John panicked as his scheme was exposed the person in front of him was more intelligent than he expected.

"I hate it when someone cheats on me, dies, and follow your friend into the dust"

Derek clenched his fist and expelled less mana than before, he overacted before.

"Wait..wait, spare my life I'll give you anything in exchange"

Desperate John saw death in front of him, he had begged but Derek didn't budge. Before Derek's fist could kill John, Ariel interrupted Derek.

"Wait, Dad, Merfolk are famous for navigating the seas, he might be useful in bringing us more and better food than that black shark."

"Better.....is that right ?..."

Derek anticipated John's answer because the expectation of eating good food made him reconsider his choice to kill John who was kneeling in front of him.

"Tell me, can you...if not I'll eat you here instead"

John shuddered at the threat made by the person standing in front of him. Who was the person in front of him? And why was he so obsessed with eating ocean beasts?

"Yes, I can bring you, there is a bigger and tastier ocean beast that we merfolk make as the main feast food in our town"

"Bring me that and I'll spare your life, if you don't come back with that food, I'll look for you in your town to eat you"

"Fine, I understand, I won't let you down"

"Ariel follow him and make sure he doesn't cheat me again if he does..halve him and bring me the fish part only"

Ariel heard that and was ready to follow her father's orders. "Yes, Dad. I'll do what you say."

John, who heard the threat as well as the order, got goosebumps and could not help but fulfill the order.

"Go now, I'm waiting in this volcano, I'll sleep in it"

"Alright, Dad...I got it, let's go find it fast"

John swam up with Ariel in his arms who couldn't swim up to find the food Derek wanted.

Derek watched from afar as he looked back at the volcano. "It looks nice sleeping here" Derek jumped into the volcano.
