King Zigruk ElrIek Sox Anon Den Yorul II waved at the people who were gazing at him admirably from outside the hall. After a considerable amount of praise appreciation and greeting, he sat down on his seat and dropped his trident.

The trident floated by itself at his side. Strange enough, this weird sight was ignored by most of the onlookers. All of them except the candidates for the throne that knew the true value of the trident, all of them shocked by how carelessly their father handled it. Then again, if you were built just like the Zigruk Elriek Sox Anon Den Yorull II, you wouldn’t think too much of the trident.

Once again, trumpets sounded thunderously, drawing the attention of everyone to the overly massive ship that was approaching them. Dubbed the Neptune, the largest piece of magical machinery ever made in the history of all the three kingdoms.

One mermaid, much bigger than the rest emerged from the Neptune. She was dressed in a simple peplos, wearing a golden crown of leaves around her neck. She had dusty brown hair that been braided carefully and reduced to only shoulder-length. Her eyes had been covered by a blindfold, rendering her incapable of seeing all. The reason being, the Chief Priestess of the Sea Goddess is supposed to view the world in a completely new light and the best way to do so is removing their own sight of the physical realm.

Slowly, she danced towards her seat next to the king with the help of her four personal assistants. Amongst the assistants there was supposed to be one person Elriek held a grudge against, but she had not seen that person around.

Within no time, the Chief Priestess arrived at her seat. The king grabbed her hand and smiled at her.

“It has been a while since we sat down like this.”

“We sat down like this the entire trip to Yorul.”

She responded coldly.

“Oh, my queen, what is with that tone? You know I only wish to spend more time with you.”

“And you know that due to my position I am no longer allowed to have such a relationship with you, your majesty. I would appreciate it if you didn’t make a scene in front of all these people.”

She pulled her hands away from his and kept it on her lap then stood up.

“For the past few years, I have been commuting with the Great Mother. She has told me a great many things and every single time, she would always come with two particular messages. The first being that her children are as excellent as usual.”

She yelled loudly for the crowd to hear, though her voice was also being amplified by a Senior Court Mage standing out of sight. 𝙛𝚛𝙚ewe𝗯𝓃𝗼ѵ𝚎Ɩ.𝒄o𝐦

Upon hearing that their Goddess was pleased with them, they all roared loudly in joy.

“The second thing she has been telling me, was news concerning the fate of Atlantis. News that I simply could not help myself but to cry after hearing.”

“What? The Chief Priestess cried?”

“Then it surely must be good news.”

“Are you stupid? Who cries from hearing good news?”

These were the sorts of things that could be heard from the crowd. The priestess’ vague words had caused mass unrest amongst the people. They had become anxious to hear what she had to say about their fate.

“The next ruler of Atlantis, shall be the greatest to ever exist! They shall lead us into the brightest future possible. Brighter than the founder had ever dreamed of! We are about to witness a paradigm shift that the goddess herself cannot fathom. This leader will be the greatest in all of Atlantean history!”

After the announcement, there was an eerie silence amongst the people. Some members of the royal family could not help but turn their necks around, expecting some sort of response. What they got though, was Atlantis darkening.

Everyone looked up to see an old man swimming about with his hands behind his back.

“Time to put a wrap on all this goddess nonsense.”

His comment was projected to everyone present shocking them.

“Now for the actual show!”

He snapped his finger, causing a large red portal to pop up above him. A portal so big, it could possibly carry a thousand individuals within it at a go.

“Yeehaw!”

A screech disturbed the quiet of the endless ocean scene. It disrupted the ambience that the resident creatures were enjoying, causing them all to scatter.

Unfortunately, what started out as a single screech soon turned into the roar of over a thousand bandits all swimming madly in search of a battle at the beckon of their absolutely ruthless leader.

Of course, there was a certain majority that had genuinely been itching for a proper fight. The past few days had been boring with keeping the princess hostage and getting their asses handed to them by a kraken. Some had even died because of the event, dropping morale. f𝓇𝘦e𝑤𝘦𝚋𝒏૦ѵℯ𝒍.c𝐨𝒎

Sending the men to war might have seemed rash at first. In fact, the more logical members still believed it was rash. However, the problem with their beliefs was that they weren’t working with logical members. Daxia knew this. This was why she sent them out to battle.

Rather than giving them time to grief over losses, she needed to give her men one win so they ignored the losses. Generally, it would seem she had no interest in them, but in reality, she was always acting with them in mind.

The shouting men slowed down once they saw a lone figure floating up ahead with their arms folded. If it was an enemy, they wouldn’t have bothered slowing down. Surprisingly, it was Daxia, staring out into nothingness.

The shouting amongst members reduced and their speed slowed to an abrupt halt. They all remained quite some distance from their queen, wary of the [Chaos Energy] she released constantly. From the army, one person stepped out.

He swam towards Daxia, hardening his mind and body for the chaos energy. Strangely, even as he got closer, there was no chaos energy. Still, when he focused on Daxia, she was still darker than the nothingness he saw at all times.

Bastien stopped next to her, absolutely stunned by what Daxia was doing. Keeping her [Chaos Energy] from going rampant. All he saw was her form being hazy, constantly getting bigger and shrinking, meaning her control over her [Chaos Energy] wasn’t perfect, but she was trying her best to keep it at bay.

“What is happening?”

He asked, but her hands were still folded and she was focusing intensely. Bastien, knowing how Daxia was, decided to scan far ahead in search of enemies. With [Blood Tether] and [Spirit Sonar], trying to find any blood or sentient souls around.

“That’s odd… there’s nothing. Absolutely no one out there.”

He pointed out. With both skills active, he could scan for a radius of 2 kilometres.

“Yeah. I can’t see anything up to the Yellow Blob Valley.”

“That far? Then what ab-”

“They aren’t even close to Atlantis. There’s no way they passed through this place. In fact, tracing their tracks, they simply disappeared.”

If Bastien still had his eyes, they would be bulging.

“That leaves teleportation. But large-scale teleportation is impossible!”

“Yeah. Large-scale teleportation is impossible due to how difficult it is to calculate for every single individual that is being teleported. Even portals have a limit to the number of souls they accept before going awry. But there is a way.”

After hearing her out, Bastien realised how they’d done it.

“That experimental Portal Orb, Exsuole has been working on?”

“Yeah. I saw some shattered pieces, meaning even the orbs have a limit.”

“A limit to the number of members it can send?”

“No. I believe the orbs got short-circuited due to an influx of mana and shut-down, meaning it can’t be kept running for too long.”

“Still, for them to have actually developed something like this… I assumed Atlantis would have done it first with their powerful spatial magic mages. Then the researchers in Exs-”

“Who says Atlantis wasn’t the first to do it?”

Daxia stopped Bastien’s rambling. He faced her and for a second, could imagine Daxia’s voice as a child. When she didn’t release [Chaos Energy]. In a way, he was happy she developed such a potent ability. At least it made it possible for him to see Daxia in a way and imagine her features better.

“I can’t believe you’re the little runt that used to randomly pick fights with bandits.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Nothing. What’s the plan?”

“Easy.”

He could feel her smirk.

“Once they teleport anywhere between here and Yorul, I’ll sense them, then I’ll chase them down and massacre them.”

“How… quaint.”

After, they both floated quietly in the sea, exchanging a few words back and forth. That is, till they all felt or saw a portal open up. The entirety of SharkFang prepared itself for an epic fight.

From the portal a being slowly descended. Without wasting a second, the Bloody Queen shot towards the new figure with her bare claws at the ready.

<A/N: A short chapter this was, but a chapter nonetheless. 13-day streak! Welp, Daxia's gotten impatient and charged at some being that pops up from a portal. First rule of being a side character in novels! Never charge at the single person that teleports before an army! Hmm, then again there's no one in the three kingdoms that can match Daxia's full strength... we'll just have to wait and see.
