Vant Jeroi part 3 : The Tense John Adventure

Outside the town of Van Jeroi, John was wearing his combat suit, he was fighting some koi fish whose body size was twice his size. The koi fish has five colors. John is currently having trouble breaking through his hard scales.

[Whirlwind]

John launched a [whirlwind] attack to pierce through the hard scales. However, only one koi was affected. The other koi that managed to dodge his attack, turned around and swam towards him and slapped John with their tails.

He went forward and risked everything here to catch the fish. This fish is his life, if he does not catch it then he will be caught next, and even worse his city can be used as the next target.

John held his trident tightly, he unleashed his full strength. The muscles of John's arm holding the trident enlarged, and he poured mana with a mixture of [wind boost] and [merman fightingning technique] skill. He thrust his spear at the koi with all of his heart and determination.

The spear he thrust in, pierced the koi and made it pierce his body, the other koi acted quickly and swam towards him, John moved quickly and avoided the tail slap of the koi. The koi he stabbed made his spear transported on the koi's body.

The other koi begin to crash again to bring down John and his attempts to catch them. The koi swam quickly towards the koi and this time John did not dodge quickly but went forward and crashed into the koi.

The koi formation collapsed and with his koi-headed trident at the time, he swung it at the koi. Some of them fell and fainted but some were still preparing to hit him. John prepares with his fish trident, he uses the [wind boost] [merfolk fighting technique].

His spear pierced the remaining koi fish, and after a long fight, finally caught 6 koi fish and John suffered bruises all over his body. The fish in his spear, John took the koi out of his spear and swam down to retrieve the remaining koi.

"My fate..., for my life and my country" John returns to meet Ariel, who is with the elder Irving. John returned by carrying the tails of the six fish on his shoulder. He brought the fish with a sour face on his face. He took the fish to the city to meet Ariel again and lower the burden of his responsibility.

Many merfolks looked at him carrying the fish. John ignored them all because he had too many things to think about. John walked around the town but on the way he met the elder Irving who was looking for him everywhere.

"John, I'm looking for you in the usual place, but you're not there, what about the fish, try to tell me what happened."

Elder Irving held both of John's shoulders which looked pitiful, he was full of bruises and his eyes seemed lifeless. This was the first time Elder Irving had seen John like this. His whole body was bruised, and he had eyes that looked like dead fish.

Irving felt pity for John, the merfolk at his best, he carried out his orders better than anyone, John was his right hand and Ocelot was his left hand, Irving was curious at the moment, where he was going.

"Are you alright, John, you look worse than when you found the leviathan, what really happened?"

John looked up and he saw Elder Irving's pitying gaze on him, he felt the empathy radiating for him. The burden he felt began to shake his heart, and soon his eyes watered and he cried in front of Elder Irving for the first time.

"I'm sorry elder, I have no other choice, he destroyed the ocelot in front of me, he said he would eat me if I didn't bring him the fish he promised"

"He's a terrifying human, the moment we saw him, he sensed us, we followed your orders but he's strong, very strong, the silver-haired monster that claims to be a human is powerful, his fist can annihilate us, if he wants to"

"I despaired to see him annihilate the ocelot, I gave up to him, I am no longer a loyal Merfolks soldier, I don't want to die but I can't do his orders either."

Elder Irving was stunned by John whom he knew was level-headed, stern but kind. John, whom he knew, cried in front of him. He could feel John's despair flowing through every word.

At a distance from the Klea to the scene of the incident. She saw John kneeling with a fish that was often used as a joke on his shoulder and Elder Irving holding John's shoulder who was crying. Klea chose to stay silent first and enter for an interruption later.

"Wake up John, you are doing an amazing job, we will not let the lives of the ocelots go to waste"

"We'll do something about your situation and that person, calm down, I'm the one who will take over the case right now."

John had let out all his feelings, feeling the warmth at the end of the hall of despair that he felt. John looked at Elder Irving with great hopes of ending the burden he was carrying and the nightmare that awaited him.

"Elder Irving, wait a minute, we can't just fight with that guy, if the words of the ocelot are true then he can annihilate as many of our troops as he is sent, our best option is to befriend him at this time because he doesn't pose a threat to the city of Vant Jeroi."

"You're here apparently Klea, I know, I'm not stupid Klea, this time I trust my people, because the person's request is simple, only the fish that John has brought so can give it"

Klea walked towards them, interrupting the two with an indisputable fact. This state of affairs is not an emergency if there is no immediate threat to the city. Klea then tells what happened to their guests.

"Elder Irving, Ariel is currently asleep in your room, she fell asleep for a second she was lying on the sponge that had been prepared, for now, elder, I suggest we just be careful first and listen to that person's request"

"Then the situation then I'll come with you John meet that person to ask about his affiliation, I'm curious about that person"

"John, where is that guy now" said John looking at John who was independent and looked as determined as ever.

"He was on a volcano 2000 meters under the sea, to the north, where he entered the volcano and fell asleep in it."

Klea was surprised by John's words, she never expected anyone else to sleep in a crazier place than her. Klea was excited to meet that person, this was a great opportunity for her to meet someone who had one frequency with her.

"Elder Irving, let me come with you, I'll be a great help"

Elder Irving looked at Klea with a suspicious look, He realized Klea had her own agenda yet he had no problem with it as long as he didn't harm everyone.
