Rooooaaarrr!!

Allen once again landed at the wailing bald head. It seems like it wanted to dive deep down but how could Allen let it go?

[ Skill Robber ]!!

[ Thunder Dragon ]!!

Ding! Before the thunder dragon strikes the submerging Kraken, a chime rang out.

But unfortunately, the prompt was a bad news. [ Robbing Failed ]!

Damn it!

Allen wanted to curse out loud.

Roooooaaaaaaaarrr!!

But a loud roar resounds through the entire sea.

After a short moment, the electrocuted Kraken finally took its last breath and floated lifelessly in the sea.

Not in its wildest dream did it realize that it had picked a wrong man to mess with!

Looking at the corpse of the once legendary monster, Allen let out a sigh. He doesn’t have a choice but to kill it immediately since it wanted to escape under the sea.

And if that happened, Allen couldn’t give chase!

He then opens his both arms widely and aimed it at the Kraken’s body. Gathering more power, the space around his hands seems to have distorted.

“[ Resurrect Undead ]!”

A dark lump of power came out from Allen’s hands and was absorbed into the Kraken’s body.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Allen cocked his neck, making cracking sounds.

As he was going to undo [ Beast Armament ] since the Kraken will wake up after a few moments, he was thinking to just ride on him and conserve power, suddenly, another chill came up from behind.

Allen instantly kicked his right foot, sending himself flying to the left. Something brushed past his cheek coming from behind.

A spear-like tentacle.

Another one?

“Who dares to kill me servant?!”

A voice rang out.

Flapping his wings, Allen steadied himself in the air and looked below him.

A female with a beautiful face, strange eyes, curly hair and wearing saggy leather clothes that were filled with sea shells and weeds.

And on her hand was a long sharp pointed spear.

Her appearance looked somewhat human-ish but anyone would think otherwise, seeing she has two pair of arms and her lower body was, instead of two legs, Cephalopod limbs akin to an octopus.

She was glaring at Allen, her strange eyes that were without any pupils was dyed all black and no white-ish part could be seen.

Behind her was another tentacle monster, though not a bald head like the Kraken more like a head of a squid, in a triangle form, like a tip of a spear.

“A human?”

The female spoke, in some unknown language but Allen could somehow understand it.

A merman. This thought struck him.

“Please to meet you, milady. I happened to pass by but somehow your servant attack me, so I had no choice but to fight with my life on the line.” Allen defended himself.

“Ye can talk merlanguage?”

“I have some ways,” Allen smiled at her charmingly.

“Spare me no waste, human. Killing me servant is a crime, punishable by death!”

As soon as she said that, the giant squid behind her immediately attacked Allen with its long tentacles.

“Can’t we talk about this?” Allen implored, easily dodging the incoming tentacles.

“Talk is a waste of time. Death is still yer end!”

Allen sigh took a deep breath: “Your funeral.”

Extending his hand, a long trident materializes midair. Twirling it with his hand, Allen yelled, “Kraken! How can you’re still sleeping!?”

“… …”

“Stand up and serve your new king!”

Roooaaaaarrrr!!

A loud roar resounded throughout the entire sea, shaking and causing huge waves to appear.

“What?!” Seeing the Kraken was suddenly alive, the merwoman’s eyes widened in shock!

“How can this be?!”

“Kraken! Can ye hear me?” She shouted but sadly for her, the Kraken was already an undead and has a new master to serve.

As a symbol of that, white colored lines appeared on the Kraken's body, forming a strange mark, running through its every limb. Its eyes all white.

The Kraken slapped all the incoming tentacles from the giant Squid and began a brawl against it.

“Kraken! What are ye doing!?”

The merwoman screamed but the Kraken ignored her and continued to coil its limbs at the giant Squid’s tentacles, starting a strangling competition against the squid monster.

“Ye!” The merwoman finally realized something and she immediately faced at the real perpetrator. Allen!

“What did ye do?!”

“The Kraken is already dead,” Allen said with an enigmatic smile. At this moment, he certainly looked like a devil, albeit without his horns and tail.

“What?”

“The Kraken you can see now is an undead… a new servant of mine.”

“Ye---, ye’re a necromancer?!” Struck with the final blow, the merwoman’s mind finally halted.

Allen had the nerve to laugh. “I guess you can say that.”

Suddenly the lump of heated emotions melted inside the merwoman. She finally realized how serious the situation is and was immediately scared.

She suddenly dived down.

But before she could dive deep, her abdomen was pierced through by a spear, no a trident.

“Gyaaaaaahhhh!!” The merwoman screamed in agony and she couldn’t help but returned to the surface as her body was being dragged upwards.

At the tail of the trident was a rope. Since a chain was kinda difficult to create and will take a long time, Allen instead made use of a rope.

He pulled the rope as if he was fishing.

“Aaaaaahhhh!!” The merwoman screamed in pain.

She then started saying something in merlanguage that Allen couldn’t quite get and in a short moment, a water column appeared and went towards Allen.

Allen snorted and extends his arms. “[ Explosion ]!”

Boom!

The water column exploded before reaching him.

One, two, four another column appeared.

Feeling fed up, Allen used electricity and electrocute the rope before exploding the other water columns.

Allen then heard a shriek from below and burned merwoman floated in the water.

She’s still moving a bit so Allen knows that she was still alive.

“W, wait,” She muttered in a weak voice.

She raised her head and looked at Allen, begging.

Allen knows better and didn’t approach any further, but he didn’t do anything and just looked at her.

“So you’re willing to talk now?” Allen mused.

“I, I apologize, so please,”

She tried moving her hand, across the Trident's tip.

She has extremely good vitality. Allen thought himself.

He then summoned the undead Kraken who just finished fighting and killing the giant squid.

Dragging the giant quid’s corpse, the Kraken obeyed Allen’s order and took the dying merwoman, holding her.

“Forgive this bit of caution, I fear that you might escape~”

Allen snapped his fingers and the trident that was piercing through the merwoman’s abdomen gradually faded and disappeared.

Shock for a moment, she then immediately tried moving her arms, albeit with difficulty towards his waist where a small pouch could be seen. Her face showed extreme pain and agony.

“What are you doing?” Allen asked coldly.

“P, potion,” The merwoman trembled in fear as she immediately answered.

“Are you talking about healing potion?”

She nodded.

Allen reaches his hand and grabbed the small pouch.

“!?” The merwoman was shock and her hand tried to reach Allen but since her arms are still weak, she couldn’t even extend her arms properly. Despair and pain colored her face.

Allen ignored the merwoman and checked the inside of the small pouch. Indeed, inside the pouch were some small seaweed, rocks, strange looking corals and plants as well as some small vials.

Judging from the contents, Allen realized that the small pouch was actually a storage bag, though the capacity was smaller than his own.

Allen grabbed some vials.

One has a violet colored liquid while the other was a pink color.

“Is this the one?” Allen took the pink color vial.

“… …” But the merwoman didn’t answer and instead continued to glare at him.

“Don’t misunderstand me. It’s not for me but for you.”

The merwoman was shocked for a bit then she looked at him, suspicious.

Annoyed, Allen snapped. “I’m being a gentleman here, so if you want to die then go. I don’t care,”

The merwoman finally said through gritted teeth, “Th, that one…”

She was unexpectedly pointing at the violet color one instead of the pink one.

Allen was surprised and could help but asked, “Are you sure?”

She looked at Allen and slowly nodded ignoring her injuries.

Allen gave the violet vial to her, which the latter immediately took and drink.

Allen looked at her, confused. Is she certain that it’s not poison?

It’s violet, you know, Violet!

Then what’s this pink liquid then? Poison?

Seeing that the merwoman was chugging the vial as if she was extremely thirsty, Allen secretly took the small pouch and put it inside his parka.

“I saved your life, so this is good as repayment… right?” Allen smiled.

The merwoman glared at him. This shameless human! She gritted his teeth but she didn’t say anything.

“Hey,” Allen once again called out.

Seeing that she didn’t refuse Allen concluded that she won’t take it back so he pulled out the small pouch again and opened it.

“What are these vials for?” He asked shamelessly.

The merwoman gritted her teeth in anger but her life was still in the hands of this man.

She looked at the Kraken that was holding her and couldn’t help but cursed it inwardly.

It was her pet and it actually serves another master? And worst it's threatening to kill her? Damn this idiot monster! Even if it’s dead, it should still serve her!

“The Violet can heal physical wounds… the lightly pale crimson can cure poison, the green one can restore stamina and energy.”

“Why is this violet color? I almost thought its poison.”

“What do you know?!” The merwoman snarled. Her life is slowly returning to her. “It was made from Daram coral and Agari seaweed! And Daram coral is a violet colored coral!”

“I see,” Allen nodded his head. Then suddenly he realized something, “You’re an Alchemist?”

The merwoman snorted in response.

“Come on,” Allen smiled indifferently. “Let’s put the past aside and face the present. I saved you so we could be considered friends, aren’t we?”

“… …”
