Novel Full 930 Rare Merfolk Unique Ability
Elysia had already said it, and Dorienne’s subconscious wanted to agree right away. If she could help Elysia and the others save the world, she would do whatever she could, even if she had to change her faith. She was not a useless mermaid who could only cause trouble!
“If you are fine with me, allow me to follow you, Elysia. However, please accompany me to speak to the Sea God before I become your servant.” Dorienne walked over, took Elysia’s hand, and knelt down. She then looked up, stating her request.
“Okay. Let’s go see him. I will bind your spirit to me when you are ready so I can protect you. All is well now. You are safe.” Elysia stroked Dorienne’s head with gentle words.
“I caused trouble again. Thank you for saving me.” Dorienne felt much calmer already.
“They are targeting our group, and you may be implicated because you know us. The next time they want to take something from you is when you put up a meaningful fight. You are not useless because you are meaningful. We shall slay the evil.” Elisia shook her head.
“Slay the evil.” Dorienne repeated Elysia’s words in a murmur. She currently might be weak, but she would strive to get stronger ASAP as she had to help and serve Elysia.
“Now, please return to your body. We will meet again in the outside world, Dori.” Elysia put her hand on Dorienne’s cheek, then pressed her finger to her new servant’s forehead.
(AN: Dorienne -> Dori)
Dori immediately returned to her body and gradually regained consciousness. She felt a bit dizzy and hot in her heart, but she felt a soothing stream of water flowing through her body to ease the turmoil.
The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Elysia, the one who saved her.
“I have healed the backlash and the trauma your body has suffered. How do you feel?” Elysia put Dori’s bangs aside and checked Dori’s condition once more. It was a new experience because Dori’s body constitution was a rare, unique mermaid.
“Thanks, Ely. I’m feeling better, but I just don’t have the strength. Er, are my legs gone?” Dori was surprised when she saw her fishtail was there, not her legs anymore.
“You can transform your form again when you recover.” Elysia released Dori and made the mermaid float next to her with magic.
“…” Elysia looked at her hands, covered in Dori’s fluid. She cleaned herself up with magic, then went to find Rhea and Doll One.
‘Ely, have you realized Dori’s body constitution?’ Lifa asked lightheartedly.
‘I just realized it. I finally understand why Dori calls herself a rare pink mermaid. Her full capability is more than what that witch can pull out. There is still a terrifying power residing within her.’ Elysia glanced at Dori.
‘In ancient times, there existed several types of rare merfolk that possessed unique abilities. However, their numbers are dwindling and it’s safe to say they are nearly extinct. Dori is a descendant born with an amazing blessing. Can you see what kind of unique ability resides in Dori’s body?’ Lifa continued her explanation with a guessing game.
‘Don’t tell me it’s an ability to manipulate one’s mind? I’ve heard tales of sirens with similar abilities. Or perhaps, it’s like Luna and Lynn’s unique ability? They can also manipulate with scent and illusion, though it won’t work on us.’ Elena tried to guess the most plausible thing she could think of.
‘Yep, as you might expect. Dori’s hidden ability is able to manipulate one’s mind directly through her words if she manages to awaken it. It’s a frightening ability for mortals, and she will obviously be hunted down for slaughter because everyone will be afraid of her.’ Lifa explained a little deeper.
‘Isn’t that sad? How about her family? Dori has a father and a brother.’ Elysia felt sorry if the merfolk would hunt Dori out of fear.
‘Yes, even her family is included. However, their unique ability is related to combat power, unlike Dori. Perhaps, that’s why Sea God brought her and handed her over to you? It’s not easy to awaken a rare merfolk unique ability, and once Dori manages to achieve that, she will be feared by everyone, including her kin. That’s just my guess, though.’ Lifa confirmed Elysia’s guess.
‘Yes, if that happens, then everyone will probably keep their distance from Dori for fear of her manipulation power. However, she will still join us. We will guide and protect her.’ Elysia had decided, and it remained unchanged.
The hawkman lay on the ground in a bound state like a prisoner. However, the witch was nowhere to be seen.
Elysia looked at Rhea with a questioning gaze. Yet, the latter only sent detailed information via their spirit connection.
‘Rhea has taken care of everything. After a brief mind reading, that witch perished and returned to the place where she should be. The Ruvoid Avatar had been here before Doll One arrived, orchestrating everything. But, they didn’t expect our divine doll to break that trap so effortlessly.’ Elena digested what happened and chuckled inwardly.
‘En.’ Elysia didn’t care about that witch, but the kidnapper was still there. “He is the one who kidnapped you, right?”
“En, he is an evil man with charm magic. I was hypnotized and by the time I woke up, I was tied up and brought here as a sacrifice.” Dori gritted her teeth. She couldn’t forget the bitter experience she had some time ago.
“What are you going to do for him? Kill him? Punish him? Or, let him go?” Elysia wants to know what Dori wants to do for the kidnapper.
“I will never forget how he slashed me alive to make me bleed profusely. The pain and suffering I felt at that moment was like entertainment for him. My plea was like a lullaby which excited him even more. He doesn’t deserve to live in this world, but death is too light for him.” Dori clenched her fists.
She would never forget it, but her trauma had significantly been alleviated by Elysia’s warmth. There were no wounds left on her body either, but that didn’t mean she would forgive the perpetrator. She wished to give that hawk-like man a punishment worse than death!
“Hmph! Hngh! Mm!” The hawkman writhed like a caterpillar and tried to defend himself, but his mouth was clamped shut by the ropes of darkness.
“All right, since you will be joining us, then you won’t be bullied like that anymore. If that is your wish, then we will grant it. Hawk beastkin with the name Blitz, you have committed a sin and a grave crime. Apart from reviving the evil witch, you also cooperate with those who seek to destroy this world.” Elysia expressed her judgment.
She then glanced at Lifa and Rhea. “Blitz, you are punished. You shall slay the accursed creatures and the evil as the great hawk until the end of your life. Even if your body and spirit are destroyed…”
“The judgment.” Lifa and Rhea reached their hands to the hawkman writhing on the ground.
Golden light enveloped him, and his body swelled up and floated into the sky. He quickly turned into a giant feather ball. Doll One immediately released her dark restraint and looked up.
“Squawk!” The giant feather ball transformed into a great hawk with high physical strength capabilities. It flew up into the sky solely to hunt the accursed creatures.
“I have installed great desire on that hawk to hunt the accursed until the end of his life. He will remain conscious and know what he is doing, but he will always succumb to his desire. He will continue to hunt the accursed even if he loses limbs or is seriously injured. Dori, are you satisfied with this?” Lifa looked up at the sky, then at Dori.
“Dori thank the Goddesses for fulfilling my request.” Dori bowed to express her gratitude.
“Well then, let’s head back to Evroria City.” Elena took everyone, and they went away from there with teleportation magic.
*Poof*
Elysia, Elena, Lifa, And Rhea instantly returned to Evroria Palace’s throne hall. Doll One gave a respectful bow to Elysia, then turned back into a black core. She went back into Elysia’s storage bracelet.
‘I may need to make a special place for Doll One’s abode.’ Elysia felt the need to do that as soon as possible because her storage bracelet given by Ai was not good enough to store Doll One. Not to mention, she had to empty it because Doll One could absorb any magic and energy, consciously or not.
“Ely, everyone! Where did you go?” Nell flew closer curiously.
“…” Elysia glanced up. The roof of the palace was repaired and returned to its original state. Nell and Fortuna rebuilt it with magic while waiting for her to return?
“We are from somewhere down south. Dori was kidnapped by Ruvoid Avatar’s henchmen and used as a catalyst to revive an evil witch. However, their current goal was to lure us there and trap us. Doll One destroyed the trap and salvaged the situation.” Rhea informed everyone with a short summary.
“What!?” Ella was the one to voice her deep shock. She rushed to Dori and checked the pink mermaid’s well-being. Dori returned as a mermaid and floated beside Elysia, looking healthy.
“Dang, are you all right?”
“That must be scary.”
“What did the perpetrators get? Were they punished to the fullest extent?”
“It’s okay, everything is fine. You are safe and sound.”
The girls rushed to crowd around Dori while ensuring that Dori was okay. They then asked Dori to tell them what happened, and the girls started listening to the chronology straight from Dori’s mouth.
Elysia, Elena, and the Goddesses took a bit of distance from the girls as they had very few things to discuss.
“It’s about the dead’s remains. They collected a lot of bones from ancient tombs and graves. They want to create a powerful undead army.” Elena spoke in a whisper-like voice for Nell and Fortuna to hear.
“We will make moves to countermeasure their plan as soon as possible.” Nell pursed her lips and folded her arms. She knew that all parties would be troubled and overwhelmed if powerful undead from past heroes attacked in various places.
