The arm was the height of a man with veins popping out from its muscles. It was still trembling after it had been chopped off and seemed to be linked to the Sea Mage as it struggled to be one with the body again.
‘Thinking of escaping? How could it be so easy?’ Lin Jie had plotted against and agitated the Sea Mage, and even used his ultimate move, Clomaros’ Kill, to chop off his arm. How could he allow it to return like that?
Outraged Roar, Dragon’s Roar, Ice Spirit Slash!
Lin Jie unleashed all his crowd control attacks to dissipate the remnant strength in the arm. He then used Ice Spirit Slash to freeze it and keep it in his space package! This arm, other than being an extremely powerful part of Sea Mage Laney, was also the concentrated essence of the heaps of Seaheart Pearl Powder! It had only been 1 month since the Sea Mage had last been seen, so he had only been able to refine 1/3 of powder maximally. The remaining power surged into this arm, thus, contributing to its bulbous and hideous appearance.
After losing his strongest arm, Sea Mage Laney grew weak, and his breath shallow. More than half of his strength had been ripped away, so he was no longer able to sustain the output required for the Legendary item, Sea Bed. The stormy sea surface calmed down as it could not unleash its powers anymore.
The more powerful the item, the higher was its required strength output from its host.
Go, capture him!
Tyrese pursued and attacked as she closed her palms, and rays of Holy Light poured out like fireworks. A Holy Light Seed appeared in the chest of the Paladins and Lin Jie as she chanted,
Holy Light Prayers•Group Divine Shield!
Lin Jie was surprised. The seed in his chest allowed him to cast one Divine Shield! The Holy Light Prayers was too powerful, and one move was able to create a thousand man divine shield!
Sea Mage Laney, who had just lost his arm, ground his teeth and shouted at Lin Jie ferociously,
Human from the alternate realms, you are dead meat! You dare to stop my leveling up to Legend, you are dead!
Ding~
—’The Aggro of Sea Mage Laney has grown to Sworn Enemy, he will be hunting you down in the next 3 months.’
Sea Mage Laney ripped apart space and escaped, after saying his piece!
Those from the Dark Shrine were generally well-versed in the art of escaping. Furthermore, as the Sea Mage had been battling with the strength of the Seaheart Pearl and the Sea Bed, his own powers had not been drained as much. Hence, it was not too difficult for him to escape.
The Paladins were about to chase after the Space Spiral, but Tyrese held up her hand and said,
Don’t venture in too deep, the Dark Shrine’s internals are strange and unpredictable, it would be extremely dangerous if we got lost inside.
Lin Jie nodded as well.
A cornered animal is a dangerous foe, now that the Mesasaprobic Shrine Master has escaped, the Vice Shrine Master is dead, the remaining Boss Elites will not be a threat. We should gather all the resources of the shrine before the Dark Believers self-explode. Furthermore, the Mermaid Princess is still somewhere in the shrine, we should begin our search!
As he said.
Tyrese nodded in agreement.
Lin Jie was surprised that, other than being great warriors, the Paladins were particularly strong at domiciliary raids as well. Every hidden corner, bottle, scroll, book, and shelf were searched through! Even the secret passageways and treasure spots were found out as well.
—
Paladin Ron found a [Blood Rib], you gained 1 point.
—
Paladin Maggi found a [Tamilo Evil Crystal], you gained 1 point.
…
Lin Jie’s prompt messages begun flooding in as the Paladins were at work. How could Lin Jie not be rewarded for his great job at chasing the Sea Mage away? Whenever every NPC Paladin found an object, Lin Jie would receive 1 point. It might seem little, but there were at least 1,000 Paladins around! The points accumulation was rapid!
However, Lin Jie was scanning his surroundings. He had not participated in this event in his previous life, and the Mermaid Princess had not been caught by the Sea Mage either. Where would the Sea Mage have hidden the princess?
Besides, the Sea Bed was alluring as well…
Although its required level was 100, if he could get hold of this Legendary item, it would definitely be the highlight of the Sky Provisions Shop! Once it was placed in the Sky Provisions Shop, who could doubt the shop’s status?
Wait, the Sea Bed? That’s right? Where else would be a better spot to hide a person?
Lin Jie’s eyes lit up as he said,
Commander if my guess is correct, the Mermaid Princess is inside the bed!
Tyrese said faintly,
I can feel the Mermaid Princess’ aura, she is extremely weak, which I assume is due to the Sea Mage Laney absorbing all her powers. The princess is very vulnerable in this state, we have to destroy the bed in order to save her.
Lin Jie was stunned.
Destroy the Sea Bed? Can’t we just pull her out of it?
We can’t.
Tyrese said solemnly,
Unless you want the princess to die.
Lin Jie pondered, this was a two-choose-one situation! In other words, this was choosing between the Sea Bed or Mermaid Princess as a reward for defeating the Sea Mage.
The Sea Bed was a Legendary item with exemplary effects and powers. Once Lin Jie reached Level 100, he would be invincible once he got onto the bed!
On the other hand, no one had obtained the Mermaid Princess in his previous life. Thus, her effects and powers were unknown. Furthermore, she was extremely weak, currently.
But…
There is no need to make a choice…
Lin Jie flicked his fingers and said firmly,
Destroy the bed, and save the Mermaid Princess!
A hint of approval shone through Tyrese’s eyes.
You have made the right choice, everything else is irrelevant when compared to someone’s life! The Sea Bed’s owner is gone, it will be easy for me to destroy it. Viscount, stay alert, and save the princess.
Holy Light Prayers!
Tyrese closed her eyes in devotion as her chants formed runes in the sky. A warm Holy Light transformed into a huge red arc and attacked towards the bed!
Kaboom— Kaboom—
The Sea Bed seemed to be aware of its destruction, and the sea surface grew rough! It unleashed its full power source that released countless sea monsters such as Tiger Sharks, Raging Whales, Murloc, Naga, etc. The entire sea condensed into a rapidly spinning water thunder that blasted towards the Holy Light Prayers!
Hmph, you hostless item dare to retaliate?
Tyrese snorted, and the Holy Light grew twice as strong, suppressing the bed’s attack! A large bomb seemed to be tossed into the Sea Bed’s surface as thunder sounded, and the sea surface was split into half by the Holy Light!
The Mermaid Princess was revealed.
Mermaid Princess!
Lin Jie activated Wild Charge and fanned his Holy Light Winged Armor as he dashed in. Sea King Scaly Armor was activated immediately to go against the thunder and lightning as Lin Jie grabbed on the princess and leaped out!
However, the Sea Bed was unwilling to let Lin Jie go. It was unable to defeat Tyrese, but Lin Jie was a much easier target. The seawater transformed into a trident and pierced towards Lin Jie.
Tyrese’s eyes grew frosty as her Holy Light shone bright, and the rays blasted at the Sea Bed, evaporating the seawater! The seawater was the energy source of the bed, as every last drop of seawater turned to vapor, the Legendary Sea Bed finally lost all its powers, ultimately turning into a normal, albeit beautiful crystal bed.
Lin Jie held the Mermaid Princess and retreated to the side as he fished out heaps of potions from his backpack, such as Holy Light Rejuvenation Potion, Health Potion, Magic Potion, Natural Recovery Potion, to help the princess regain her energy.
The Mermaid Princess was still dressed very alluring as her intimate parts were only covered with 2 seashells, and her waist-length wavy and voluminous hair, with her cute tail, added to her charm. However, she was breathing very heavily, as though she was going to pass away at any moment.
Herya’s life force is growing weak, if this continues on, she will die within 10 minutes. Laney’s sins are really unforgivable!
Tyrese frowned hard and said,
There is only one method left to save her life.
Lin Jie was puzzled.
What method?
Contract! Let her bind to a human from the alternate realms with a contract, the Lord God watches over the players, and they have their personal follower space. The Mermaid Princess will be able to slow down her weakening condition once she enters the space. Then you will be able to gather the potions and herbs required to strengthen her.
Tyrese said seriously,
However, the Mermaid Princess is of high status, once you accept her, your follower space will be closed forever, even if the princess leaves. I can write out the contract now, you have to make a choice.
Lin Jie had been unaware that the only way to save the Mermaid Princess was to make her his follower! What was a follower? It was an entity that accompanied the players through battles, leveling up and their entire journey! Players did not recruit followers currently as it was not worth it for low-level NPCs to take up a follower slot, but it was hard to get a high-level NPC as a follower as well.
Furthermore, having a beauty was the final goal, right? Who wished to see a gangly macho guy whenever they turned their head?
Naturally, Lin Jie would want the Mermaid Princess as his follower! Although she was extremely weak now, she had countless hidden missions. Besides, Lin Jie would be able to get the Poseidon Shrine’s support with her, meaning that sea adventures would be much easier!
Okay, I am willing to sacrifice my follower slot to save the Mermaid Princess! I would not have any regrets even if she were to recover and leave!
Lin Jie lied righteously.
The Mermaid Princess smiled in relief and gratitude upon hearing his words, while Tyrese looked at him with approval as well.
Beneath the witness of the Holy Light, I shall bind your contract! Herya, are you willing to be his follower?
asked Tyrese solemnly.
I… am…
Swoosh!
