Zhang Yang took a look at the quest timer. Currently, 24 minutes had passed and there were only 6 minutes left before the King of the Merfolks arrives to get Meryl!
Protect her to the end!
Another two minutes passed, and the five guards had finally come out of the passage and stood right in front of Zhang Yang. They shouted, waving their weapons, and charged towards Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang flipped onto Whitey and let Meryl climb behind him where she hugged him tightly. After tightening his teeth, he gulped down a transmuted Level-5 [Troll Recovery Potion], with the additional effect of having a 3% rate to recover 25% health points when hit by enemy. It was equal to recovering 0.75% of health points every time the enemy struck him. The health points of Zhang Yang after mounting onto Whitey is about 60,000 points, it would mean that he would recover 450 points every hit!
Furthermore, with the additional effect of the [Troll Recovery Potion], he could probably hold on for a long time!
After activating his {Blast Wave}, the five guards were all stunned!
These henchmen were carrying the effect of {Pursue}, so they could catch up with Zhang Yang and Meryl much sooner. Furthermore, they ensured that Krishan kept moving at a snail’s pace, so Zhang Yang had to keep them alive, he could only use his Status Effect Skills to restrict their movements!
4 seconds later, the five guards had recovered the stun effect and resumed their pursuit of Zhang Yang.
They were like gazelles, Zhang Yang could not shake them off, even while mounted! In just a short while, the five guard had already caught up to him and were hacking at Whitey’s plump rump!
Zhang Yang could only turn Whitey around to face them all head on.
If he was alone, Zhang Yang could simply jump down from his bear mount and activate his {Heroic Leap} and {Thunder Strike} to slow down the guards. But now that he had Meryl by his side which appeared to be a burden to him, he could only use Whitey to shield her from being taken away while he was on the mount. Because if he jumped off Whitey, Whitey would switch from being a [Mount] to a regular pet, and the paraplegic Meryl would end up lying on the floor helplessly!
Zhang Yang defended himself from their attacks, constantly moving about to avoid taking more hits than necessary. He was buying time for this {Blast Wave} to cool down, in order to restrict their movements without hurting them too much.
He was losing health points constantly, but he had used a transmuted [Troll Recovery Potion] which constantly fueled him with some health point recovery effect. He could last for a bit this way!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Heavy steps could be heard approaching the exit of the passage, and then came Krishan from the exit. He revealed a crazy smile on his face and said, "You are not getting away from me!"
Piak piak piak! Meryl was in a panic and she could not stop slapping Zhang Yang’s shoulder and said, "Warrior, he has caught up with us! What should we do? What should we do!"
Zhang Yang was getting annoyed by her repetitive questions, and he roared in anger, "If you won’t calm down, I’m going to throw you straight to him!"
Meryl was shocked, and she dared not prod Zhang Yang anymore, so she fell completely silent.
Zhang Yang kited the five guards around the platform in circles, while Krishan was like a big boss, following his minions closely.
2 minutes left!
But the five guards were not weak in their assaults as well. Every single hit from them inflicted Zhang Yang with at least 1000 damage, and Zhang Yang had already activated his life-saving skills once! Now that his health bar had almost hit the bottom again, he could only activate his life-saving skill one more time! It was lucky that his life-saving skill had already cooled down.
1 minute left until the quest timer reaches it’s end!
Suddenly, a stream of vertical white light emerged on the surface of the lake from afar, and a tall wave of about two to three meters high was vaguely visible from where Zhang Yang stood. The wave was rolling towards their location aggressively, as if it was intent on washing away everything that stood in its path!
"Zhan Yu, just hold on a little longer, my father is about to arrive!" Meryl was screaming in joy and excitement.
The tide of wave seem familiar somehow. It looked similar to the one that had capsized his boat when he was arriving at the Emerald Island! Could it possibly be that King of Merfolks, was it all his doing?
"Father has no idea where mother is, so he had been searching for her all these years. Sometimes he would release his frustration by stirring up big waves!" Meryl gave an explanation that make sense, "These are the things I was told by Gethelo and the others!"
"Quickly, kill that bastard!" It seemed that Khrishan could feel that something was off, so he quickly commanded his five guards to finish off Zhang Yang.
40,000!
30,000!
The health points of Zhang Yang were decreasing without a pause!
30 seconds left! 20 seconds left!
The high wave was approaching closer and closer by the second, and vaguely, Zhang Yang could see the a shadow of a merman right on top of the wave! The merman held a golden trident in his hand, letting out thunderous roars to express his rage!
"Quickly! Quickly!" Khrishan could not move fast, so all he could do was to command his guards to do it for him!
20,000! 10,000! 5,000! 1,000!
Shoof! One of the guard threw his axe at Zhang Yang! Zhang Yang had already used up all his life-saving skills, and he had been dodging their blows endlessly! But the forth attack was so sudden and near, it seemed like he could not dodge it!
The blade of the axe came closer and closer to his face, if this attack lands on his face, he will be a dead man!
‘Ding!’
Just when everything seemed lost, a golden trident was hurled from afar, deflecting the axe right before it could land on Zhang Yang’s face!
The flashing of sparks was blinding!
Kiang!
The golden trident surged with incredible power! After deflecting the axe, it embedded itself, deep into the surface of the rocks in the direction it was flying towards. A third of the trident was already buried in the solid rock!
Zhang Yang had once again escaped death! He let out a breath of relief and turned his eyes to the quest timer. The quest timer had already reached 0:00!
Boom!
The wave had arrived, and the water spouts were splashing all over the platform, causing enormous thunderous sounds all around that shook the ears of everyone within range. The Snake Eels were like small little mud fishes, washed up by the huge impact of the wave! Their dead, white bellies lay motionless above the surface of the water!
It was at that moment, when the merman stepped on the water and leaped over to the ground on the platform. He waved his left hand and a white light surged through his body. Every single droplet of water on his fish tail was instantly dried up, and the tail transformed into a pair of macho legs. He stood right in front of Zhang Yang like an unmovable mountain!
[Gethelo, The King of Merfolks] (Mythical, Humanoid Creature)
Level: ???
HP: ???
Defense: ???
Wow, a very important person (VIP) has arrived!
The moment the timer of the quest reached it’s end, the two effects on Krishan had also disappeared automatically, and Khrishan had regained his normal movement speed. Of course, his attack had also restored back to his default setting, he was no longer a ridiculous, unkillable being! He pulled out the sword that hung from his belt and said, "Human and Merfolks have a peace treaty, and neither have broken them. That mermaid had made an oath with me, are you trying to go against the oath you merfolks had sworn?"
Gethelo raised his right arm and moved his arm towards the location of where the trident landed, and the trident emerged from the rock and flew right into his hand.
He spun his trident around in a circle on top of his head and stirred up a strong wind around him. Then he pointed his trident at Krishan and spoke in a calm, commanding manner, "I’m here for my daughter!"
"Father, it was him who imprisoned mother. It was him who forced mother to lived in agony! It was him who pushed mother to her death!" Meryl pointed her finger at Krishan.
Wow, from ‘Gethelo’ to ‘Father’ in an instant! She really adapts fast! Because he’s royalty?! Zhang Yang thought to himself disapprovingly.
Gethelo was staring straight aright at Krishan with murderous eyes and said, "Human, you dared to imprison my fiance, this crime must not go unpunished! You will pay, now!"
"He forced mother to marry him, all because he saved her!" Meryl began to accuse Krishan of his crimes.
Gethelo was enraged after hearing all about it, and he shouted, "You worthless piece of human, how dare you mistreat my Siniia! Unforgivable! Unforgivable!"
Krishan laughed out loud and said, "So you are the man that Siniia thought about everyday! It was such an unfortunate event that she could not see you for one last time before she departed from this world!"
"You bastard! Die!" Gethelo was bristling with anger, he waved his trident around and charged at Krishan.
