Chapter 76 The Awakened

Mo Yu did not refute Matthew. As a newcomer, it was best to keep a low profile and observe the situation before making a decision.

Matthew's identity.

Information on members of the royal family of the North Sea Empire.

We need to understand all of these things clearly.

The shrimp soldiers and crab generals made quite a commotion when they moved; you could hear the sound of their shells hitting the ground from a great distance. They dispersed, surrounding the entire area and searching in all directions.

Mermaid knights rode manta rays, flying through the air to scout ahead.

Matthew was very familiar with the area. He navigated the narrow alleys, dodging his pursuers in various ways, and gradually approached the outer edge of the encirclement.

But there are limited places to hide.

The two of them were too conspicuous. They crouched low and crouched as they passed through the alley, but they were still spotted by the merman knights who were scouting from the air.

The two merman knights looked at each other, nodded in tacit agreement without exchanging words, and flew over on their manta rays, jumping down from the air one after the other, blocking the two men in the alley.

Matthew drew his short sword from his waist, struck a cool pose, and said, "Dude, you were talking so arrogantly just now, you've got some skills, haven't you?"

"One for each person?"

"Row."

Mo Yu turned to face the merman knight, drew his Miao sword, twirled it, and assumed an attack stance.

Observe closely.

This merman resembles some kind of shark species, with a humanoid form but a shark's head, a mouth full of sharp teeth, dark blue skin with some spots, a height of 2 meters, very muscular, and a thick shark tail on its back.

Clad in armor and wielding a spear, it looked quite well-equipped. Seeing Mo Yu's fighting stance, it sneered:
"Two-legged fish, are you going to resist?"

Mo Yu inhaled, charged forward, and slashed vertically.

No unnecessary movements.

when! ! !
The merman knight raised his spear to parry, and after a loud crash, half of his body sank into the ground.

Mo Yu's current physical abilities far surpass those of a knight-level vampire; even a merman knight of the same level cannot withstand his immense strength.

The merman knight roared, his body covered in a blue vortex of magic, and blood oozed from his skin. His physical abilities surged, making him almost equal to the knight.

The two sides collided together.

“Flaws, flaws, so many flaws.”

Mo Yu muttered to himself.

His mastery of mixed martial arts gave him exceptional close-combat intuition. In his eyes, the merman knight was riddled with openings, and he had several ways to counter his moves, making it difficult for him to choose.

He deflected the merman knight's spear and slashed at him with his sword.

The blade clashed with the armor, sending sparks flying.

The quality is really good.

Mo Yu sighed, the attacks continued.

In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged five blows. Each time, he was able to precisely counter the opponent's moves, deflecting their spear and then slashing them with his sword.

However, the opponent's armor was of extremely high quality. His full-force slashes could only create a crack, and it would take five or six strikes to shatter the armor in the same spot. Moreover, the merman knight's skin was very hard, and it also had a layer of mucus to absorb force, so if the blade was not angled correctly, it would even slip away.

Sensing Mo Yu's power, the merman knights dared not be careless and adopted a defensive stance while shouting for their companions.

You can't kill it without using skills.

Mo Yu didn't want to waste her magic power.

rewind.

Back when the merman knight provoked them, Mo Yu began her performance.

"Wow!"

He let out a series of strange cries, raised his Miao sword, assumed a desperate stance, and charged forward at the speed of an ordinary person.

The merman knight sneered and thrust his spear straight at the enemy.

Mo Yu neither dodged nor evaded, taking the blow head-on, letting the spear pierce his abdomen. Then, he unleashed his full power, sweeping his blade horizontally. To the merman knight's astonishment, he severed its head.

He threw the knife backward.

Rewind again.

Let's go back to the moment before the attack.

Release the image.

The knife attacks the mirror image, while the real body retreats with the backpack on its back.

The mirror image took the attack head-on, severing the merman knight's head with a single strike, then tossed the blade behind it and vanished. Mo Yu reached out and precisely caught the Miao sword.

Kill without taking damage.

Matthew's battle was over. He was able to teleport. In the instant he collided with the merman knight, he flashed behind the merman knight. His short sword twisted strangely, and with one slash, he cut the fish in half, armor and all.

He bent over, supporting himself on his hands and knees, panting heavily, looking quite exhausted. After catching his breath, he straightened up and looked at Mo Yu.

Only then did they realize that Mo Yu was standing in the same spot.

At his feet lay the headless corpse of the merman knight.

Matthew's expression twitched, and he coughed, saying, "Not bad, I wasn't wrong about you. You do have some skills."

Mo Yu asked, "Once you've killed someone, there's no going back. Where can you run now?"

“There’s a secret passage beneath the factory to the north; we can escape,” Matthew replied.

The two continued their escape.

After rounding a bend, the two encountered a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

True shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

They are all humanoid monsters with many marine creature characteristics, including crabs, lobsters, fish-men, conches, octopuses... It's a veritable ocean hodgepodge, and these are all evolved forms.

Matthew slammed on the brakes, broke out in a cold sweat, and slowly backed away.

Mo Yu stepped forward and said, "Let's charge in."

"...Ahem, buddy, I'm leaving it to you. These small fry aren't worth my time." Matthew coughed and subtly backed away.

Mo Yu shrugged.

He glanced at the approaching shrimp soldiers and crab generals, picked out the crab man running at the front, rushed up and kicked him with all his might.

boom! ! !
With a loud bang, the crab-man flew out like a cannonball. Its hard shell became the projectile, knocking away more than a dozen of its companions along the way and clearing the street in one blow.

Mo Yu: "It's done."

Matthew: "Poet, hold on! Dude, this commotion is attracting attention! Run!"

The two continued their escape.

However, the commotion was too great, and the merman knights quickly gathered around. The two were soon surrounded, and more than a dozen merman knights descended from the sky, blocking all the paths.

Matthew sighed, "Sigh, we shouldn't have made such a commotion. Buddy, there's nothing I can do to help you. Good luck."

He disappeared on the spot after he finished speaking.

The Awakened One.

Sequence 41 - Instantaneous teleportation.

Mo Yu glanced around.

He could fight his way out of the dozen or so merman knights, but that would mean he couldn't go undercover and would be wanted by the North Sea Empire.

Keep a steady hand.

rewind.

Back to when they were cornered in the alley by two merman knights.

Matthew drew his short sword from his waist, maintaining his cool pose, and said, "Dude, you were talking so arrogantly just now, you've got some skills, haven't you?"

Mo Yu: "I was just bragging."

“You…” Matthew dropped his dagger, immediately bent down to pick it up, then held it to Mo Yu’s neck and shouted to the two merman knights, “My lords! I have just captured a suspicious person!”

Mo Yu: "..."

Matthew winked at him.

After understanding, Mo Yu remained silent.

After sizing up Matthew, the two merman knights surprisingly believed him and didn't doubt his identity. Instead, they ordered, "You two, come with us."

Matthew fawned, "My lords, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to send this person over... after all, it was you two who captured him."

The merman knight snorted and said, "Kid, you know how to handle things. But Her Highness the Princess has made it clear that she wants to take both of them back."

Mo Yu asked, "How did Your Highness discover us?"

"Two-legged fish, too much nonsense will kill you." The merman knight's expression was gloomy as he slapped him.

Mo Yu grabbed the merman knight's wrist and crushed it forcefully, revealing a villainous yet friendly smile, saying, "Hehehe, answer my question before I slice you into sashimi."
