Reylin's greedy flames didn't quench within the ocean's unique water.
It surprised many ocean monsters as they saw flames sprinting after the golden light that barely shone in the water.
That fish was barely seen due to its schemes!
It was not only due to the size but also due to the golden fish running away at breakneck speed!
It was so damn fast!
Reylin's other sin emotion, Wrath, kicked in. Two emotions and their flames meshed seamlessly into one, and ravenous ire chased after the golden fish.
"Golden Fish! Come here!" William laughed.
While his mermaids fended off all ocean monsters as much as they could, his arrows darted after the golden fish. Laced in rainbow energy coming from legendary scales, those arrows didn't slow down at all!
When the blue color prevailed, the arrow increased in speed, and it caught up to the golden fish!
Reylin's eyes expanded, "Nice one."
He was amazed by his own sins' control, but William's feat also left Reylin with a wide smile. It was good to have reliable support, and his brothers were one of them!
As the arrow struck the golden fish, William used another skill. A thin thread connected between him and the golden fish, then he shifted his eyes to Reylin, "Speed up, Reylin! I won't keep this thread up for too long! The pressure is too much!"
"Got it," Reylin narrowed his eyes, his Crimson Dragon howling within the ocean as a result.
Its whole body shone in scarlet flames, utilizing Reylin's fire movement technique.
At the same time, the ocean rumbled.
All monsters felt tremors going down their forms. They all stopped attacking William's mermaids, their bodies fleeing away.
All players and residents from Reylin's side noticed that weird move.
At last, the ocean king emerged from the dark depths.
[Ocean King - Black Shark Lv. 200 HP: 200 000 MP: 300 000]
[Legendary Existence.]
"We have legendary fish for dinner today," Reylin didn't feel any fear.
His pyromaniac body surged with flames.
Fire oozed out from every pore of his body, slowly taking the shape of the smaller Crimson Dragon form embracing him. That dragon eyed the black shark, waiting for his master's call.
At last, Reylin flicked his fingers, and a mass of flames barrelled into the ocean king.
At the same time, the only genuine Crimson Dragon maneuvered around the vast black shark, bypassing him and going after the golden fish.
After the golden fish was within William's reach, Reylin let his Crimson Dragon go and turned around to face the black shark alone.
His Crimson Dragon also left all his people alone.
"The Red Sky," Reylin chuckled as his hands rose.
He used his signature skill to summon the red sky within the ocean depths. Meanwhile, the black shark's jaw parted, and its sharp teeth surrounded Reylin. The steel-like weapons descended onto Reylin from both sides, ready to gnaw on him.
Alas, Reylin held on, his flames giving him the strength to stop those teeth!
At that time, Crimson Dragon tackled the black shark, tightly wrapping its form against its slimy body!
[-20 430 HP!]
[-24 120 HP!]
"I don't really like fishes, though," Reylin sneered as he stared into the shark's mouth from within.
He lifted his eyes and summoned another flame that took the Crimson Dragon's form. Fueled by two sin's emotions, those powers debilitated the king from inside and outside.
Naturally, the Crimson Dragon's grasp became tighter, and both of them slowly revealed all their cards to the black shark, who remained in one place under the dragon's grasp!
[Crown William: I did it! I got the Golden Fish!]
"So we can finally leave this place," Reylin glanced at the chat, then confirmed his mana reserves.
He took out a few mana items from his equipment, then fueled his mana to its acme.
"Crown Festival," Reylin whispered.
[You have used your royal skill.]
[All mana has been depleted.]
At that moment, the water became red.
It bubbled with a thousand fireworks and explosions! Of course, the bubbles popped around the black shark's body, whose eyes stretched due to the tremendous pain washing over his body.
Reylin summoned his flame festival to the ocean's bottom. His royal authority overwhelmed the ocean, prevailed over its petty resistance, and dominated the whole world at the bottom!
[You have killed the Black Shark.]
After the black shark died, Reylin shoved its dead body into his inventory.
The whole place dimmed with scarlet color, returning to their master.
"There should be more Ocean Kings... Let's escape before they all come here," Reylin glanced at his brother, who took a seat on the Crimson Dragon already.
William grinned, "Yep! Let's take a rest! That was already too much for one day! Still, we saw the king's immense skill, didn't we? Pretty cool! Right, girls?"
All laughed while Crimson Dragon slowly returned to the darkness and used its portal to leave the world at the bottom.
-
A few days after the events in the world at the bottom.
Reylin spent those days maintaining a strict schedule. He gave time to his kingdom but also to his beloved. Due to Aria's recent change, Reylin needed to carefully spend time with her and show her that he accepted and loved her new self.
He took care of Layla and regularly spoke to their incoming child.
Those days would've been undisturbed were it not for one person.
Zamram.
[Zamram: I know that you have a spy in our family, Crimson Dragon.]
Reylin dropped all his work, then headed straight to his king's chamber. He took a seat on his throne, one leg up on the armrest, "I don't remember having any spy, though?"
[Zamram: I am here as Zamram, not King Julian's son.]
"Haha, ~~ Aren't you his son, though? I wonder if that battle in the dungeon had somehow influenced you as well... Perhaps, you can't stomach the fact that your father uses your mother as a puppet?"
On the other side, Zamram clenched his fists, and his eyes went bloodshot.
After his feelings subsided, Zamram replied.
[Zamram: I know you have Prince Drwin as a hostage. His family plans to take him back, but we can make a deal instead, Crimson Dragon. I will invite you to our secret dimension and help you deal with my father.
I want Prince Drwin, and you stay away from my mother's body. In our dimension, you will find... the souls of players." Zamram concluded.
Reylin's eyes widened, and he correctly took a seat on his throne.
"Convey this to the appropriate person now," Reylin replied.
