Chapter 87 A Life-or-Death Request
Golden Pearl's manor was unusually lively, with a duel between humans and merfolk, something that had never happened before, as the two sides were worlds apart in strength.

The sea creatures could not imagine how weak humans could fight against the darlings of the sea.

The gap between the two should have been as vast as an insurmountable chasm.

But things took an unexpected turn when Herobella orchestrated the duel herself, sending her own slave to the guillotine.

In the stands, many seasoned seafood vendors shook their heads and sighed.

Herobella is, after all, a sixteen-year-old child. Other mermaids at this age are still in a state of ignorance. Although the Seventh Princess is precocious and showed some unusual changes two months ago, she is still too naive.

She simply couldn't understand the immense value of such a powerful human being; sending him into the tower-climbing challenge would bring him unprecedented rewards.

And so they were sent to the arena.

It's simply a waste of resources.

Although Locard is not strong, and is even considered dull among mermaids, and has little combat experience, he is still a fishman after all. The vast magical power that time has accumulated in him is something that a 2-star can not contend with, let alone a human of about 1 star.

Although this human is very strong, he chose the wrong opponent.

Both sides take their positions.

A water screen was also raised in the stands to isolate the area and prevent accidental injury to spectators.

Locard conjured a white jade spear, which he swung back and forth like a magic wand. The water around him flowed like an obedient puppy, following his commands.

This is the talent of the merfolk.

Liquid manipulation.

He can manipulate seawater at will, changing it into various shapes for attack and defense.

Mo Yu is ready.

He carried two more two-handed swords on his back, dragging the swords on the ground as he assumed a starting stance, revealing a solemn expression.

This was his first direct confrontation with a 3rd evolved form. Although this guy was quite weak, the difference in their levels was too great. His only chance was to unleash a fatal blow with the Evil Slayer technique.

After confirming that both sides were ready, the referee blew the whistle.

"go to hell!"

Locard floated up 10 meters in the air, letting out a piercing, maniacal laugh. His voice carried a violent magic, like a dense drumbeat pounding on people's eardrums, making them dizzy and disoriented.

This is a control skill.

It has an indiscriminate impact on the entire venue.

He pointed his spear, and the water flowing around him surged and shot out rapidly, spraying out a large number of water arrows that poured down on him.

That wretched human was incredibly agile, running rapidly around the arena, dodging left and right, so the water arrows couldn't touch him at all.

After the water rocket collides with the ground, it turns into water mist and evaporates. When it cools, it condenses into small water droplets, which float in the air and form a towering water mist that obscures the view.

Locard was very annoyed.

The rising mist was actually a mockery of him, a sign of poor magic control. Normally, this mist could be recycled after a normal attack and used to restrain enemies, but he was indulging in wine and women every day and had no time to hone his combat skills.

He wouldn't have stepped into the arena if he hadn't heard that his opponent was human.

He could easily crush his opponent by relying on his aerial advantage and his terrifying magical reserves.

Locard scoffed, "Two-legged fish, if you're too slow, you'll get riddled with bullets!"

He fired thousands of water arrows, but he couldn't even touch the hem of the other person's clothes, which infuriated him.

"Let's see how you hide this time!"

Locard changed his attack form, turning his water arrows into water droplets. With his magic, ordinary water droplets became as powerful as 9mm pistol bullets.

What's even more frightening is the sheer number of them.

He gathered his magic and summoned a torrential rain that washed over the entire area, unleashing a massive area-of-effect attack.

It rained heavily.

Water mist and smoke filled the air, enveloping the entire venue.

After unleashing his magic, Locard ceased his attack.

He redirected his magic, observing the mist below. "The two-legged fish, is it still alive?!"

Locard shouted and casually swung his spear, unleashing a series of Water Moon Slashes that sent mist billowing into the sky.

Just as he was trying to gather the water mist, the water mist under his feet suddenly exploded.

The human jumped out and launched a slash from behind him.

"madness!"

Locard grinned smugly.

At that very moment, although he had little combat experience, he knew exactly how to fight in this overwhelming situation. As long as he maintained a sufficient flight altitude, the opponent would have no choice but to jump if they wanted to attack him.

At this point, the enemy becomes a sitting duck.

Locard charged forward, turned and drove the water, the water around him condensed into two giant hands, each 3 meters long, and slammed down on Mo Yu.

The tens of tons of water, empowered by magic, unleashed terrifying power, colliding and causing a violent explosion.

A white water droplet burst open.

Locard steadied himself, and the intense output of magic caused him to momentarily lose his balance, dropping in altitude and falling into the mist.

He stared at the water splashes and observed that, under normal circumstances, the splashes would turn red from the center, dyeing the water a beautiful scarlet.

But no.

The water vapor from the explosion settled down, a white expanse, devoid of blood.

That human also disappeared.

Suddenly, his heart tightened as he realized the threat approaching from the mist. He rushed forward, trying to dodge, but it was too late.

Three twisted ripples of sword energy cleaved through the mist, slashing in from three directions.

Locard immediately used a water shield to defend himself, but the sword energy ripples, as thin as cicada wings, were incredibly powerful. They easily passed through his water shield and swept across his body, as if cutting through tofu.

The sword energy ripples disappeared.

Locard's right hand, left shoulder, and tail were all severed, the cuts were as smooth as a mirror, his abdomen was cut two-thirds horizontally, his spine was broken, with only some skin and flesh sticking together.

He stared at his bleeding right hand, let out a bloodcurdling scream, and fell to the ground. A spray of blood erupted, and he churned in the crimson water, gripped by utter terror and despair.

The mist was dispersed by the sword energy, creating a small vacuum area.

Mo Yu stood in front of Locard, raised his two-handed sword high, and slashed down fiercely.

when!
A beam of water shot out, hitting the tip of the two-handed sword, causing the attack to deflect and slam into the ground, creating a huge crack.

Locard was thrown away by the blast wave.

Jenny made the move.

She swooped down from the sky and attacked Mo Yu with water waves.

Mo Yu jumped back twice, nimbly dodging and creating distance, then crouched on the ground.

"Tsk, they really can't accept defeat."

He was very unhappy.

But next, it will be necessary for Herobella to step in.

An oppressive aura enveloped the entire area, and Herobella reacted immediately, her icy voice spreading out: "Jenny, I need an explanation."

Jenny used her magic to seal Locard's wounds and gave him emergency treatment. Then, pointing at Mo Yu, she said in the direction of Herobella, "Your Highness, I request a pause in the duel. I am willing to gamble my life with him, the Wheel of Death."

Jenny panicked. The whole thing started because of her, and she couldn't just watch her cousin die. She could only try to get involved herself and try to get another chance by increasing her stakes.

The scene was silent.

Everyone is waiting for Herobella's decision.

After a short wait, Herobella's voice came from the private room: "Okay, I agree."
