[Day 64]

After spending almost, the entire night with Mady, I stealthily went back to the Aquarian Castle.

On the way to the castle, I had some of my sense skills activated and I felt a strange aura coming from the underground part of the Castle.

However, just as it suddenly appeared, it dissipated.

What was it?

It certainly came from something very strong. Nothing like the people that inhabit this Kingdom. Due to this strange presence, I remained cautious.

I decided to remain awake while I investigated the whole castle with various detection skills alongside my [Mystic Eyes]. Afterward, I created 20 flesh and slime minions of small sizes and made them investigate the whole place.

In less than half an hour, the entire facility was completely investigated and mapped, except from the underground. The door that leads there seems to be heavily sealed with countless spells that I couldn't understand.

After everyone began to wake up and the maids and butlers started their daily activities, I had to give up on my investigation.

Although I could take over the Kingdom immediately, I was too cautious about this strange aura and decided to lay down for today.

I talked with Caspian about various trading issues and had some nice meals. The overall atmosphere was very calm and relaxed.

After lunch, Belle invited us to go shopping around town, so we had a nice afternoon.

She spoke about her plans on reinforcing this Kingdom military power and that she wanted me to train their royal guards. Of course, I will get paid quite well, with several treasures offered.

At night, I met with Mady again as we planned our next move. Afterward, we had another passionate night.

I talked with my wives about their daily lives through the [System Direct Message], everyone was doing fine and Zehe's belly was becoming bigger. Gaby's twins are still small and haven't tried to eat each other, yet. Rimuru's children have grown a little bit more, now it has the size of two apples. Brontes child seems to be the one who will take the most to develop, as it was still a small lump of light of around the size of two cherries.

Ami's egg has been carefully taken care of by Nesiphae, she told me that it moves sometimes.

Aaah, I want to go back…

[Day 65]

Last night I tried to investigate the sealed door by myself, but even the most intricated spells couldn't affect it. Even when fusing Anti-Magic with Unsealing. And even when I tried to absorb the entire door.

Even with the deadliest of poisons, I couldn't dissolve the door. The only thing that seemed to work was Nether Magic alongside Soul Magic. It will take some time to formulate a spell with these two Elements.

For now, I took it easy while remaining wary.

I decided to train the royal guards and we had a very gruesome training. Everyone was in a horrible state, some were even quite fat.

How can these be guards?

For today, I made them do the legendary workout that my servants do every day at home. Most collapsed after less than one kilometer of jumping. Jumping because they don't have legs, so they must exercise by jumping, floating around with a water bubble won't do.

Anyways, I forced them to do the workout completely, constantly healing their Stamina. At the end of the day, they barely managed to complete it.

However, the night was young and I summoned several Undead Soldiers for them to gain levels. Even Belle and Caspian tried to stop me because this training was quite ruthless on their eyes.

"Didn't you want me to train them? They're in a horrible state, and don't let me get started on their level and stats…"

"I-I know Lady Kireina, b-but… They are about to die!"

"Oh…"

Most of the guards were about to die from cardiac arrest from the gruesome training, so I ended up calling it a day… Of course, after they barely managed to kill the Undead Soldiers, which I ordered to go easy on them…

Sigh…

Anyways, at the very least, Mady was awaiting me on her manor tonight, and she was rather energetic tonight too.

After having a lovely time together, she talked about some of her past. And it was quite interesting to know her better.

Well, to resume her past, she had it very hard back then. I'm glad that I'm somewhat able to bring her happiness.

Although Mady is known as a treacherous and deceitful woman, she has a very soft side. She showed me her delicate femininity and told me about her dreams.

She really wants me to get her out of here. Mady always asks me about the outside world and my adventures.

.

[Day 66]

Today thanks to the team effort of my Split Minds alongside [Parallel Thinking], we have managed to create a spell that could work.

I waited for the night to come, and when most of the maids and butlers were already sleeping, I used my usual Illusion Magic Cloak alongside [Stealth] and [Camouflage].

The spell that we formulated was named [Nether Soul Unsealing]. Yes, my Split Minds are as bad as giving names than me.

 Anyways, the spell worked… partially.

It managed to unseal some magic circles and inscriptions, but I quickly discovered another layer of them right before the previous one… I spent several hours and MP Potions destroying all these seals.

Phew…

After five hours of gruesome work, it was done.

Before opening the door, fearing that it would make some kind of cracking noise, I created a small [Magic Domain] and aisled any type of sound to the outside, this took around half an hour to make.

After opening the door, I was greeted by a massive staircase that went all the way down. It was very dark and the whole place lacked any type of lamps or light. Thankfully, as a Dark Fairy, I come with the natural ability to see in the dark.

Several hours passed and I finally reached the floor. There were several chests filled with incredible treasures.

These treasures weren't just gold and precious gems, but weapons and armors of all types and colors, some even being of [Unique+++] Class. There were also several Spirit Stones of high quality, Magic Cores from very strong monsters, and countless [Magic Artifacts].

Is this some kind of secret treasury? This probably are the true riches of the merfolk "Old Ancestor".

I really want to devour all of this; those weapons and Magic Cores look appetizing…

Suddenly, as I walked through the floor, the strange presence showed up once again. It felt like an incredible pressure, almost comparable to the Wyvern Overlord.

But instead of being scorching and intense, it was relaxed and resembled the waves of the ocean.

Just, what is it?

Could it be… The Old Ancestor? But he should be dead, right?

As I was having several questions on my mind, my body reacted on its own against the imposing threat and activated several of my skills, covering my body on three different layers of armor. Four new arms appeared on my back as they summoned the several weapons I had at my disposal.

I even grabbed both of my [Legendary] weapons. As whatever is waking up right now, it was sure to be extremely strong.

As if responding to me, the being suddenly increased the aggressivity of his aura, which made me struggle as I activated my own. For some time, we battled only with our auras, as if two beasts, one red and one blue were ferociously fighting for dominance over the other.

Suddenly, a man voice resounded all around the room.

"Gahaha… Impressive"

"Are you… The Old Ancestor?"

"Ooh? You already guessed who I was! Such a crafty demon! Caspian was right, you are too deep. You even managed to enter here somehow"

"Caspian? Don't tell me…"

"That's right, he already told me that you enslaved all the royals. Such stupid and weak children…"

"How did he realize?!"

"Oh? Well, there's no point in telling you, you're dying right now, demon"

Although I would have loved to attack this old geezer as soon as he appeared, he wasn't nowhere to be seen, as if he were the entire room itself.

Worried about the outcome of this battle, I also activated my [Spirit Shield] and several other similar skills. My split minds worked in these seconds, scanning the entire place with [Area Reconnaissance] alongside my [Mapping and Detection Magic].

In less than five seconds, I was able to detect the old geezer true body, it was thanks to his incredibly dense magic concentration. The Old Ancestor was inside the walls, probably in a secret room.

As I engulfed myself on raging winds, preparing for the rampage, several magic circles surrounded me and began to shot countless Ice Spears of all shapes and sizes.

"Eh?!"

BOOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The magic reflection capabilities on my armor, alongside my own [Spirit Shield] managed to mitigate most of the damage as I rushed through the floor, raising my arms, who held each one a powerful weapon.

I quickly activated the skill [Destructive Demon of Lust Catastrophic Rampage] as my weapons were engulfed on an intense energy which made my body able to easily smash the entire walls in mere seconds. Each arm holding a demonic weapon, the walls were turned into dust in an instant.

BAAM! BAAM!

The old man didn't expect such a rampage as he released a surprised gasp.

"AH?! H-How could you destroy my Adamantine Walls which I carefully reinforced with Oceanic Arcane Magic?!"

"It seems that the old Caspian didn't tell you about the full extent of my capabilities, or perhaps, he never knew them on their full extent!"

As I raised my head, I finally saw the old man. Well, he wasn't old at all, he looked like an extremely younger version of Caspian, with shining and long black hair, muscular upper body covered on blue and golden tattoos alongside a handsome appearance. His eyes shined on a bright pink and his fishtail resembled a sea snake rather than a fish.

I quickly tried to appraise the bastard, but it was instantly blocked.

[Appraisal has been blocked]

"Oh? You're trying to appraise me? Good luck with that, demon! Arcane Oceanic Magic: Poseidon Catastrophe!"

In the mere seconds that I entered the secret room, the bastard already had several magic circles prepared, which is a mere instant, generate a massive torrent of raging water, blowing the entire underground alongside myself.

BAAAAAAM!

Using several of my skills for water adaptability, I managed to resist the strong pressure as I conjured my magic, generating several spikes of red-colored ice, and while using Gravity Magic and Wind Magic, I manipulated them to bait the Old Ancestor into thinking that I was going straight for him.

FLASH! FLASH!

"Hmm?! That won't work! Leviathan Shield!"

Just as I suspected, the bastard cast an incredible strong magic-reflecting shield that easily blocked the massive rain of Blood Ice Spikes.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Because I left one of my Split Minds continuously casting the spell through the same magic circle that I settled on the ground, I was able to move without worrying about the origin of the Blood Ice Spikes changing its direction, telling the Old Ancestor about my position.

I used my Illusion Cloak alongside [Stealth] and [Camouflage], which I increased further in power using Soul Energy. I also increased my Luck using my own [Lucky] buff.

Rushing towards the Old Ancestor, I raised my weapons and cast three [Ultimate Techniques] that I obtained from the humans before, these were [Silver Rainfall of the Seven Stabs], [Spiritual Arrow Barrage] and [One Hundred Cross Smashes].

To not fail my attack, I adjusted my direction slightly using Gravity Magic as support alongside Wind Magic.

In the mere seconds that I cast this barrage of attacks, the Old Ancestor realized his mistake too late, as he tried to block the myriad of powerful techniques coming at him with more than 20 [Leviathan Shields].

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

The powerful blast of attacks made the old man freak out as in a mere instant, all his shields were devastated and quickly destroyed. Using a strange magic, the bastard increased his speed as he managed to dodge most of my barrage of attacks, however, I still was able to diminish the natural magic coat protecting his body.

While still on the air, the old man floated for a second and multitasked, generating several spells at the same time. A powerful presence awakened on his aura as several colossal tentacles made of water protected him from my techniques, meanwhile, countless sea serpents appeared and began to interfere with my rampage. After that, on my back, around 20 magic circles popped out of thin air, devastating the place with an Ice Spear rain.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Of course, several of my skills were similar to him, several of his sea serpents were easily devoured by countless tentacles that surged from my back. These tentacles were covered on a thick exoskeleton, possessed millions of tiny fangs and corrosive tongues, making the sea serpents seem like a joke.

On my back, I blocked all the Ice Spears with two [Arm of Demise], which were enough to completely shield me from the magic.

The old man quickly noticed my response, as he began to summon stronger versions of the sea serpents, who possessed three heads and had sturdy scales. However, as soon as one bit over my armor, their mouths weren't able to withstand the hardness of my armor, destroying their jaws and shattering their teeth.

To add to the torture, I coated my entire armor on a powerful and deadly poison, which made the sea serpents who dared to bite me begin to melt into a soup.

"M-My Three-Headed Leviathan! H-How can a mere magic armor manage to block the attack from a [Mythical] Class Familiar?!"

"Arms of Demise!"

"Huh?!"

Taking advantage of the old man stupid words, I created two more [Arms of Demise] which rushed over the old man. His Water Tentacles were barely able to hold on the intense pressure and strength of my attack, using this new opening, I conjured [Yggdrasil 9 Worlds: Nether World], a new spell that I formulated using Nether magic alongside Yggdrasil 9 Worlds.

A magic circle appeared over the struggling Old Ancestor as a formless mass showed up on the space, throwing several projectiles, infecting his entire body with this corrosive and strange magic.

"N-N-NETHER MAGIC?! Arcane Oceanic Spirit! Cure me from these impurities!"

Flash!

The Old Bastard summoned an incredibly powerful healing magic that managed to completely destroy my Nether Magic Infection alongside repairing his damaged magic coat.

Seeing the outstanding effects of his own magic, the man laughed.

"Haha! I can feel all my old magic flowing through this wonderful body! Absorbing my descendant blessing really gave me a powerful and young body! Now, prepare yourself, demon! You are fighting the Overlord of the East Ocean on its peak!"

"Absorbing… Your descendant?!"

It seems that this bastard somehow absorbed Belle's powers. But where is she? No, I must concentrate on the fight first!

BOOM! BOOM!

Without wasting a second, I created more than ten [Arms of Demise] which I ordered to attack the bastard, throwing him several meters through the underground.

BAAAM!

As my attack destroyed the entire place, we came across an intricate cave section.

Because I found myself in a wider space, I let myself go wild with my magic, casting several of my strongest spells.

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

The Old Ancestor was still falling as he saw more than ten [Fourth Element Chaos Storms] falling directly on his face, these were accompanied by [Superior Holy Annihilation] and [Multi Elemental Beam of Demise].

In less than three seconds, a destructive explosion made the entire Aquarian Kingdom tremble on a massive earthquake.

BOOOOOOOM!

When I began to inspect where the bastard was, I found him barely hanging out with a strong Magic Shield while breathing heavily, he didn't seem as young as he said.

"H-HOW?! Aahhh… Ungh! Eh?! P-Poison? When did I got Poisoned?!"

While everything was going on, I never took my vision outside of the Old Bastard while using [Mystic Eyes]. He seems to be immune to most status ailments but this Poison managed to get through, and as long as I keep looking at him, it will reappear even if he cast it off with healing magic.

The Old Ancestor summoned a giant Kraken made of water and used it as its shield while trying to cast the strong poison outside of its body.

Wanting to play around with the bastard, I summoned my own Familiar, the [Thunderstorm Phoenix] which immediately flew towards the Kraken, attacking with its strong thundering beak. It seems that just like in games, water monsters are weak to thunder monsters.

BOOOM! BOOOM! SPARK!

"Squaaaaack!!!"

The Thunderstorm Phoenix raised its beak as it attacked the Kraken head with a strong lighting slash.

BOOM!

"Guuuoooohhh!!!"

The Kraken couldn't even resist a second attack as it crumbled on the ground, becoming a formless mass of water, uncovering the worried and sick Old Ancestor.

As the poison kept spreading on his boy, it began to create horrible wounds all over it, secreting purple-colored puss and slowly decomposing him.

"Oceanic Spirits! HEAL! HEAL! HEAL!"

As much as it tried to heal itself, the rooting wounds reappeared.

I commanded my [Arms of Demise] to attack him with all they had. Suddenly, more than ten gigantic demonic arms began to punch and destroy the entire cave, while the Old Ancestor tried to run away while multi-tasking, casting powerful water spells. He managed to destroy up to five [Arms of Demise], however, more were being created.

"Gaah! HEAL! HEAL! Uungh! W-Why it doesn't go away?!"

Using the opportunity of his distraction over his own wounds reappearing, I flew using my Illusion Cloak alongside [Stealth] and [Camouflage]. However, the bastard detected me in time as it dodged my [Arms of Demise], it summoned more than one hundred Lower Sea Serpents over me.

"G-Get away!"

I raised my six arms while slashing the current of sea serpents while using my ultimate techniques in conjunction with [Destructive Demon of Lust Catastrophic Rampage], creating powerful combo attacks that increased in power with each technique.

In three seconds, once again I approached the man. I couldn't resist the urge to smile while imagining how tasty would the meat of this ancient prey would be!

I want to eat him!

My [Insatiable Appetite] finally kicked in, filling my mind only with the thoughts about devouring this prey.

I easily noticed a clear tiredness on the bastard, after sustaining so many wounds, even after healing them, the mental fatigue alongside the stamina consumption will be colossal.

"H-How could this be?! I am the King of the East Ocean! Caspian, you bastard children! You didn't tell me the full extent of this monster!"

The old man struggled as it flew around, evading my [Arms of Demise] while throwing sea serpents and destructive torrents of water towards me.

I managed to counter most of his attacks with my techniques alone, but those Oceanic Currents needed two [Arms of Demise] to successfully block them without losing momentum.

To satiate my hunger, I began to devour the thousands of sea serpents that he threw at me, they were delicious, having a strong fish taste. However, they didn't gave any skills, perhaps I need to eat more than one hundred to get anything from them.

The Old Ancestor saw with horror as I devoured his summoned creatures.

"D-Demon! Get away from me! Arcane Oceanic Magic: Atlantis Fall!"

FLASH!

Suddenly, countless magic circles appeared over the bastard as they began to fuse together, until a massive one remained, this single magic circle slowly began to open as if it were a gate connecting to the actual ocean, and then, a destructive flow of water clashed over my entire body, even more than ten [Arms of Demise] couldn't handle the powerful pressure.

"S-Shit!"

BOOOOM!

When the Old Ancestor saw that I disappeared after taking his ultimate attack, he began to laugh.

"Haha! I-I did it! I defeated such a strong being! I defeated that Realm Menace!"

However, I managed to avoid the attack thanks to the sacrifice of all my [Arms of Demise], and slowly flew with my Illusion Cloak to his back while the idiot laughed at his triumph.

And then, using my Nether Sword and the Ollathir Demon Sword, two slashes were enough to completely shatter his magic coat alongside his two arms.

SLASH! SLASH!

"Gyaaaahhh!!! H-How?! Ugh! My arms! G-Get away! Get awaaay!"

The one who called himself the Overlord of the East Ocean looked at me with extreme fear, while trying to struggle for his life.

"Oh? Is this the correct behavior that the revered Old Ancestor should have?"

I tightly grabbed the mermen with my own tentacles alongside [Shadow Binding] and my own fluids, which showed themselves as a red slime.

"Gyaaah! No! No!"

I couldn't contain myself anymore, the hunger became greater. So quickly chopped off his lower fish half, as a bloom of blood-covered my armor.

The Old Ancestor entrails began to spur out, releasing a delicious and enchanting bloody smell.

"Gyyaaah! It hurts! I'm going to die?! N-No! H-HEAL!"

However, there was no heal. I managed to seal his magic with several [Anti-Magic Seals] the moment I grabbed him with my tentacles.

"W-Why it doesn't work…? You damned… Outsider…"

It was rather fun to see him struggle this much, even when he already had his arms, and lower fish half completely severed, he certainly had a strong life force.

I mercifully finished him off with my Nether Sword, cutting his entire head into tiny pieces with several sword techniques, every piece was of perfect bite-size, ideal for a kick snack.

[You gained 1205300 EXP]

[You gained two levels!] [LEVEL 64/70 EXP 0145237/1120000]

[You obtained a new Title]

[Overlord of the East Ocean]

This was a rather unexpected meal, but a welcomed one. I never expected that I would have the revered Old Ancestor as tonight dinner.

I saved the Old Ancestor pieces as I settled on the cave floor.

It was a rather beautiful cave decorated with several colorful crystals and gems. I could even see various Water Spirit Stones laying on the walls.

I slowly drank the delicious and sweet blood of the Old Ancestor, which contained an incredible fish flavor alongside a godly sweetness.

[You gained +120 Blood Strength]

[Super Natural Blood Vitality] has leveled from 7 > 9]

[Your Bloodline has successfully evolved into [Ancient Arcane Oceanic Merman Overlord] blood]

Hm, now that I think about it, didn't he said something about absorbing her descendant? Was he talking about Belle? Did he really do such a thing?

After drinking his blood, I slowly devoured the Old Ancestor tasty soul, which was stored inside my Nether Sword.

His soul was quite strong on its own, being of Rank 2, so it actually put some resistance. I had to use several of my Soul related skills to immobilize the soul in place.

[You gained +100 in each Soul Stat and +18% Soul Mutation Ratio]

Ding!

[Your soul has increased to Rank 3]

Just as I got the notification, I felt my whole soul slowly expanding, as if it were another body inside my own. I could feel that it was way more solid and sturdy than before.

It seems that our destructive battle caused a big earthquake all over the Kingdom, probably the entire Kingdom must be freaking out right about now.

Hm, but first, I will have my meal.

I began snacking on the Old Ancestor head that I cut into pieces while I fried the previously cut into slices lower fish half of my prey.

I added some spices and salt, after some minutes, the meat was ready. It tasted like the most high-quality tuna I've ever eaten… It was simply heavenly; the meat was tender and even melted on my mouth.

As I kept eating, I felt a strong force flowing through my body, slowly increasing my strength.

After two hours, I had completely devoured the entire Old Ancestor, the only things remaining were his golden-colored staff. I gained several new skills from advanced magic that I've never seen before, showing the amazing strength of this being.

[You learned the following Skills]

[Blessing of the Merman God of Oceans Poseidon]

[Blessing of the Demi-God of Aquatic Beasts Ieyar]

[Oceanic Orb of The Merman Old Ancestor]

[Ancient Oceanic Merman Flesh and Blood]

[Both Arms that Summon the Raging Oceans]

[Ancient Merman Foresight]

[Information Sealing and Enhanced Appraisal Blocking]

[Aquamarine Golden Bracelet: Sea Serpents Guardians]

[Arcane Oceanic Magic: Iceberg Spears Rain]

[Arcane Oceanic Magic: Leviathan's Shield]

[Arcane Oceanic Magic: Oceanic Spirits Mystical Heal]

[Arcane Oceanic Magic: Poseidon Catastrophe]

[Arcane Oceanic Magic: Atlantis Fall]

[Arcane Oceanic Familiar Summoning: Splashing Sea Serpents]

[Arcane Oceanic Mythical Familiar Summoning: Three-Headed Leviathan]

[Arcane Oceanic Familiar Summoning: Ancient Ocean Spirit Kraken]

I'm sure he had more Skills than what I got, but there isn't a second Old Ancestor to devour, sadly.

Hmm, perhaps the fight would have been way longer if I held back at the start, but after knowing that he had the strength to possibly kill me if I lowered my guard, I ended up going all out.

The golden-colored staff had the form of two sea snakes entangling against each other, which was beautifully decorated with several Water Spirit Stones and was a [Legendary] class item. The Staff name was [Oceanic Serpentine Staff] and had [The Merman God of Oceans: Poseidon Blessing].

Well, the Blessing is pointless as I already got the blessing from eating him anyways.

The Skills I got seem incredibly powerful, and there were some new Familiars to devour too, but that will need to be moved for another day.

After cleaning my bloody clothes, I slowly flew to the surface.
