Seizing the BOSS Template at the Start

Chapter 561 - 285: Mermaid Capital

Er Shu couldn’t make a sound under the command, but the entire mouse was strangling its own neck, struggling madly.

"Calm down, it’s okay, feel it carefully, when have I ever hurt you? Aren’t we still the best partners? I really need you now, calm down... calm down..."

Demacia stepped forward and gently stroked Er Shu’s head, constantly comforting it.

The small figure in his arms was still sobbing.

His summoned creatures always had personality defects, but at such times, he couldn’t be bothered by that.

This place was always just a game to him, but a game made so real, he couldn’t help but immerse himself in it.

After five minutes of comforting, the mermaid in his arms gradually stopped trembling, seemingly so heartbroken that she fell into a deep sleep.

Er Shu gradually realized that it wasn’t a feeling of suffocation, just an illusion brought on by its fear of water because it couldn’t swim.

It looked at Demacia somewhat dazedly, and before Demacia could continue to comfort it, it grabbed Demacia, flapped its wings fiercely, and shot out in an instant, swimming towards the depths of the city.

Buzz~

The mighty current surged as the building they had just occupied was crushed by a massive figure.

The Violent Demon continued its mad roars, wanting to kill, wanting its rage to drown this entire ocean.

The Abyss wouldn’t care whether you were Netherworld or Hell; in the eyes of the Abyssal Creatures, except for their kin...no, even including their kin, if they want you dead—you’re dead!

Abyssal Creatures have no kinship; races that reproduce physically are not nonexistent, just exceedingly rare.

The Violent Demon, Desire Demon, and even the grotesque Abyssal Creatures all came from the Abyssal Worms, evolving gradually into chaotic beings through slaughter.

[Found some records; in some mages’ travelogues, it’s mentioned that the sea is the domain of the Sea God, and all marine creatures within worship the Sea God. Among them, the Merfolk Race is the closest race to the Sea God besides his own kind, the Sea Sirens.]

[If my guess is correct, this secret realm is related to the Sea God, but first, you must find the entrance to it...]

Demacia responded softly, "I know, but Meira is too small. I must ensure we survive first. I don’t think I’ll have a second chance to come here. For now, we need to avoid those Corpse Ghosts."

[The Nether Fog cannot invade players, what level are you now?]

[39.]

"Roar~"

A Desire Demon’s roar resounded behind, and the first summoned creature abruptly fell, crushed into mincemeat by an overwhelming pressure.

The Violent Demon instantly fell into a frenzy; facing a supreme power, its choice was never to submit but to meet it with killing intent and fury.

Boom!

A Silver Upper Tier Mermaid was destroyed by the Violent Demon; it headed straight toward the Desire Demon’s location, its slaughter gradually staining the ocean red.

[I’m Level 40 now.]

Guard Brigade: [Good, the records show that a Level 40 Summoner has a unique space of their own. See if you’ve awakened it.]

Demacia hesitated for a moment, then immediately checked his panel, where a new specialty appeared.

[Beloved Space: A small space of 100m×100m formed through the bond between you and your familiars. You can change this space as you wish. This space can house your permanent summoned creatures and allows for a one-time bloodline connection with summoned creatures in the space, gaining some of their specialties and attributes.

Cooling Time: 12 hours.]

"Hiss~ It’s real!"

[You suffer from Rot Worm: Netherworld Internal Organ Bite, Life Value -1%... -1%...]

Magic Power surged, and the floating organism in Demacia’s organs was killed once more.

Guard Brigade: [It’s good you have it, put them into this space, and you can be more daring in your actions.]

Demacia hesitated, "Meira is not my permanent summoned creature...."

[Then contract her. A Summoner can both summon from the All Heavens and also proactively contract. You’re Level 40 now and have a Summoning Tier.]

Demacia looked down at the sleeping Little Mermaid in his arms. Her Sanity Value was now 28%, a breakdown stage, and during this stage, a summoner could easily contract them.

But....

"Let’s wait until she wakes up to discuss it."

Guard Brigade: ...

Demacia: "Haha, don’t worry, although it’s dangerous now, have you noticed that with Er Shu here, we haven’t encountered any powerful mermaids? Its Lucky Attribute is 23 now, capable of influencing destiny to a certain extent, so the danger at this stage should not be as great as imagined."

"I want to wait a bit. Every character in this game is too realistic. I want to respect their own choices."

Guard Brigade: [....]

Demacia: "Guard Brigade, do you think... is this really just a game?"
