Chapter 157: God's Chosen
Right while Fisher and Tlander were currently chatting, Martha downstairs was cozily sitting on a reclining chair, listening to the beautiful singing voice transmitting from the radio.
Ms. Martha was comparatively fond of Nari's classical music. Especially when cooking meals or knitting sweaters, lacking music seemed as if even her movements would slow down. This habit was still cultivated when she was young.
"Hum hum..."
Martha closed her both eyes, enjoyably matching the rhythm of the radio to rock her own reclining chair. Right when she sluggishly felt exhausted wanting to snooze for a bit, a tiny sound of knocking on the door abruptly transmitted from the doorway.
"Knock knock..."
But that sound was truly too soft. It was only after knocking several times passed that Martha Realized After the Fact, sitting up her body and looking toward the direction of the doorway.
At this hour, who could still come over?
Another friend of Fisher's?
Martha picked up the blanket draped upon her own body. Subsequently, she walked sluggishly to the edge of the door. Opening the door up, she actually saw a pink-haired girl clad in a small skirt standing prettily outside.
That girl grew up to be quite cute. It was merely that her expression at this moment in time was exceptionally anxious. She pursed her lips, her eye sockets reddened. Her small face was chubby, both supple and good-looking, completely like Cotton Candy, as if she was about to cry out in the next second.When Ms. Martha inside the door pushed open the room door, it gave her a fright. She gingerly pinched her own skirt and opened her mouth, yet continuously didn't open her mouth to speak, seemingly organizing her words.
Martha was provoked into extreme affection by her cute and constrained appearance. She particularly liked small children. Every time she saw other small children of this kind of age, she would imagine these were the children of her two sons who had already passed away, or perhaps Fisher's children...
"Oh, poor little thing, how did you come to be here? Did you lose your way, or came over looking for some person?"
"I... I am called Reinar. I'm looking for Fisher... It was Mama who told me to come find him."
Mn?
Mama told you to come find him?
Ms. Martha opened her mouth, subsequently sizing up the hair and appearance of this girl before her eyes carefully and meticulously, and then became even more shocked.
Something's wrong, something's wrong... This girl neither resembled Renee nor resembled other ladies she had encountered previously. Then whose daughter was this of Fisher's?
Of course, this was merely Ms. Martha's suspicion; she still didn't dare confirm it. She had no choice but to first bring Reinar into the inside of the room.
"Oh, heavens, wait a moment. Come inside first. I must question that young lad. It's possible that on a certain night a good several years ago, he drank too much and committed some bad deed... With the vigor of youth, such a possibility exists. Back in the day, a neighbor of mine was precisely like this..."
Ms. Martha held hands with that tiny Reinar and walked into the room, while softly muttering some words of unclear meaning.
"Fisher!"
Waiting until she reached the front of the stairs, she then shouted an utterance of Fisher's name.
"What's wrong?"
"There is a small girl here. It was her mama who said to let her come look for you! Come over quickly and take a look, see if she looks like you or not..."
"...What?"
When the door above was pushed open and the two gentlemen walked out carrying a bit of liquor scent, the gazes of Fisher and Tlander were very quickly attracted by that small girl beside Ms. Martha.
"Reinar?"
The moment he saw the appearance of that girl, Fisher opened his mouth in surprise. That girl right now was completely and wholly in the appearance of a human, lacking the previous crab's organs. She ought to still be in the state of Ramastia's Blessing.
After seeing Fisher, Reinar's nervousness of pursing her lips slowly transformed into grievance. The tears in her eyes also grew increasingly heavy, threatening to drop down by the look of it. She hurriedly and hastily cried while running from Martha's side toward Fisher.
"Fisher... wuwu. Papa... Papa, he..."
"..."
Her words were blurry and unclear. Blanking out slightly, Fisher let her pounce into his own embrace in a single bound. Reinar grabbed his suit and buried her head in a death grip into his embrace. Soon after, she pitiably raised her head looking toward him, wishing to say something continuously, yet unable to spit out the words because of crying.
Martha and Tlander both looked at Fisher with ten thousand times surprise. Only he, With a Face Covered in Black Lines, hugged the tiny Reinar in front of him into his embrace, explaining toward them,
"This is a friend's child. Her family might have had a bit of an incident occur, so she came over looking for me... Your matters I will tell Elizabeth afterward. Go back and wait for news."
The latter half of the sentence was directed to Tlander. The matters between them were nearly finished being discussed. Later, waiting until Elizabeth returned, Fisher would converse with her a bit regarding this matter.
"...If you didn't explain to me, it's estimated that we wouldn't even dare have you help anymore. Because before Her Highness Princess Elizabeth listened to you speak, she would've ripped you apart alive because of this 'illegitimate daughter'."
Tlander cracked a joke. Gazing at that tiny, tiny Reinar leaning atop Fisher's shoulders, he had to say she indeed grew up very cute. But right now she was continuously shedding tears without stopping; upon one look, it provoked people's pitying affection.
"Set your heart at rest. However, that letter still requires your help tracing the clues a bit. Tell me if there are any situations... especially regarding Prince Dexter."
"Alright, I'll entrust the party leader and them to pay attention. Only doing this tiny bit of a matter can be exchanged for your help; they'll presumably laugh themselves awake even from sleeping. Ms. Martha, I'll be taking my leave first."
Tlander prepared to leave, offering a greeting to Ms. Martha. Ms. Martha had grown aged after all. Only after waiting a good several seconds did she react that that child wasn't Fisher's child. Subsequently, she finally said "Goodbye" with Tlander.
Fisher hadn't the intention of seeing him off. Only after explaining it to Ms. Martha another time did he hug Reinar back to the inside of his own room.
Placing her on the sofa, and incidentally using the handkerchief beside him to wipe her tears for a bit, Fisher finally asked toward her,
"What's wrong, Reinar?"
With this asking, even more tears welled out from the eyes that had just been wiped, unable to be stopped no matter how she tried. She didn't wipe the tears. On the contrary, looking at Fisher, she spoke toward him using an unclear enunciation of voice,
"Wuwu... So many humans, I don't know why, so many humans are looking for us by the river side, saying... they want to beat us back to exchange for money, because we are ocean Demi-humans... Papa was caught by them in order to let Mama and I leave first... We wanted to contact the Royal Family adult, but Mama is injured, and the place the Royal Family adult lives at is too far... I couldn't go..."
"Therefore, I came over to find you. I heard other people discussing your name. I walked so far to get here..."
She covered her face continuously shedding tears. After hearing this, Fisher knit his brows.
Exchange for money?
In that case, those people who went looking for them ought to be human bounty hunters. This gang of people was roughly mercenaries relying on accepting orders from the black market or some other place to make a living. So long as one gave money, any matter could be done. Many people were even fugitives and people who had just come out of prison; the wide probability was that they were all Desperadoes.
Incidentally mentioning, that gang of people squatting behind the butts of "Cicori Horses" waiting for excrement in the wilderness day by day previously were also this gang of people. But that was considered comparatively amicable. The vast majority of bounty hunters were scum carrying firearms at all times, prepared to use the heads requested on orders to exchange for bounties.
Someone had placed a bounty for ocean Demi-humans within the black market, and the price point wasn't cheap. Only this could possibly mobilize such a large quantity of bounty hunters heading near the Coco River to catch ocean Demi-humans.
But right now wasn't the time to think. Fisher cast a glance at the sky colors outside. Subsequently, he stood up his body, taking up the Walking Stick and Fluid Sword beside him. He said toward Reinar,
"I understand. First take me to your mother's place. I will comprehend the situation a bit before going to rescue your father."
Reinar nodded her head. Pursing her lips, she tightly grasped Fisher's sleeve in a death grip. Wearing an At A Loss appearance, she could only entrust her entire hope upon Fisher's body.
Because the Coco River was the closest to the ocean, and the river channel was also the shallowest, therefore beneath the ground by its side were constructed many complex pipes. Some of these pipes connected to the sewer tunnels, while some basically possessed no function. The majority were the outcomes of contradictory planning across different periods.
The night colors gradually grew clear. But within the sewers at this moment in time, quite a few people were wielding lanterns, searching every single corner of the pipes comprehensively, exactly as if countless gold was buried away within these pipes.
This also wasn't strange. The black market had recently opened a new massive order, poking the nests of this gang of bounty hunters in a single move.
Previously there was a lucky fellow who brought the intelligence of ocean Demi-humans being near the Coco River back and obtained twenty thousand Narios. The buyers over there issued another order, saying capturing back an ocean Demi-human could obtain one hundred and fifty thousand Narios. Therefore, basically all the bounty hunters in Saint-Nazareth had mobilized, coming near the Coco River to hunt for treasure for the sake of money.
An ordinary Demi-human was just worth several thousand Narios fluctuating in the slave market. Right now, catching just one could attain one hundred and fifty thousand. That was the price of a good several Dragon-kin!
Moreover, that group of ocean Demi-humans definitely weren't as difficult to catch as Dragon-kin. A few other teams with good luck had already captured a Demi-human whose exterior resembled a lobster. He heard there was still two that escaped. The remaining bounty hunters were currently fighting over these three hundred thousand Narios.
"Mac, you watch downwards. They definitely couldn't walk far, much less there is even a child..."
"Bullshit! A few hours have already passed. Who knows how deep of a pipe they hid in! If we go any deeper we'll reach Snakehead Street's side. That entire side is being searched by hunters; we won't even be able to drink a mouthful of soup."
Four fully-armed hunters gripping knives and firearms were threading their way inside the sewers holding lanterns up. While conversing softly, they simultaneously moved their footsteps toward the front.
Hearing the voice of that hunter behind called Mac, the leading boss chuckled "Hehe". Turning his head back, he took off the mask covering his own visage to guard against the stench,
"Heh, this is precisely the reason I can serve as the boss and you guys can't. Previously didn't I shoot and hit that one escaped Demi-human? Unlike the other people, what I shot wasn't true gunpowder, but Marking Powder capable of leaving behind a marker..."
"The outer shell of that escaped Demi-human is extremely hard. I just knew that relying on the firearms of that gang of morons, it was impossible to topple her down! Therefore, to let the fine water stream far—by knowing where she is going to treat her injuries, won't these three hundred thousand still belong to us few brothers?"
He snickered evilly. Lightly tossing a single piece of stone in his hands out, that stone very quickly hovered in mid-air. Subsequently, it flickered out a trajectory of bizarre fluorescent light, sweeping past the surrounding pipe walls.
In the next second, a matter invoking people's surprise emerged. Under the illumination of the fluorescence, slivers of deep purple traces gradually manifested atop that pipe wall, extending straight toward the end of the pipe.
"Otherwise, why do you think I was continuously running toward this side bringing you all? Did you truly think I'm stupid? That's because I've been continuously running along the traces. Learn a bit, you few younger brothers."
"Heavens! Mother Goddess's Blessing. You are simply the cleverest bounty hunter under heaven!"
"Boss, I love you."
Gazing at that trace gradually spreading towards the depths of the pipe wall, the few hunters behind couldn't help but issue exclamations of admiration involuntarily.
The boss smiled faintly, strapping the mask on. He exhorted the brothers behind that they must be quiet going forward, because looking from the traces, those final two Demi-humans were precisely in the vicinity not far away.
The four people squeezed their firearms tightly. Under the guidance of that stone's fluorescence, they slowly and softly walked toward the depths of the pipes, untily they walked to the front of a gigantic tunnel discharging water toward the Coco River before they halted their footsteps. The water flow below was quite rapid, and the water depth was roughly around one meter. The footsteps of their few paused right here, not advancing rashly.
"Boss, are we going down?"
Hearing the inquiry of the person behind, that leading man lightly made a "shush" gesture. Soon after, he lightly tossed the stone out. That stone hovered in mid-air, emitting fluorescence once again. It was merely that this time, what flickered with purple light was no longer the surrounding walls, but the endlessly rushing water flow below.
"Right beneath the water bottom!"
The boss's pupils shrank. Raising the firearm immediately, he simply fired a single shot toward below.
"Bang!"
"They are right below!"
Following after they fired their guns, a gigantic cyan sea crab abruptly drilled out from below that water bottom. Atop that sea crab, a female clad in clothing constructed of some kind of seaweed was covering her own lower abdomen in pain. Visible to the naked eye, pale-cyan colored blood was currently flowing from there.
The female before his eyes possessed a head of long pink hair. She roughly shared six parts similarity in appearance to Reinar. It was merely that the crab portions upon her body were even more massive and robust. A sliver of deep-blue spots also began sprouting upon her face.
"Caw!"
Gritting her teeth, she patted the large cyan crab beneath her body. That cyan crab abruptly lifted its body. A water gun constructed of water flow and foam simply shot toward the hunters above.
The Ring on the hunter's hand abruptly brightened up with a ray of light. After that light brightened up, illusory threads of silk shot out from out of the rings, pulling them to leap down from atop the pipe. Simultaneously, they were also firing their guns toward the Demi-human and crab below.
The firearms striking atop the body of that gigantic crab rubbed out slivers of sparks completely like fireworks. Although they didn't truly penetrate inside, they seemingly made that gigantic sea crab exceptionally pained.
"Huwu!"
"Haru..."
That female sitting atop the crab's body was unsteady in a single move, nearly falling down. But the injuries upon her body were far too numerous, the vast majority being struck by the bullets of the firearms. She was already currently At the End of One's Strength at this moment in time. Just as she wanted to order the large sea crab beneath her body to leave here, countless illusory silk threads having already wrapped her and the crab beneath her body up tightly.
"Wu, let me go!"
"Eh, that crab below isn't a Demi-human, right? Why is there only one?"
"How would I know? The other one hid in the embrace of this one previously and wasn't hit by a Marking Bullet. I didn't know where it ran away to..."
Watching helplessly as the Demi-human below already lacked any method to resist, the hunter boss let lose a breath and jumped down. Using the lantern light to illuminate that female Demi-human within the silk threads continuously struggling, he subsequently twitched his mouth and stated,
"Forget it. Just bringing this one back first is fine as well... Kill that crab; it's too big to take away."
"Not allowed to kill Haru!"
Right while their subordinates were on the verge of making a move, tender and childish child's voice sounded above the pipe. But waiting for them to look toward above, a silhouette abruptly leaped down from above the pipe. Mid-air, a quicksilver blade like a tail swept toward those illusory silk threads traversing mid-air.
He severed some Weavers, yet there were still even more shooting out from the hands of the different hunters.
"Buzz buzz~"
Simultaneously, countless light blades completely like bees leaped out from the alternative hand of that figure, interrupting the movements of the hunters attempting to pull out their guns.
In merely a single encounter, waiting when that figure stood atop that large crab, the four hunters had already simultaneously toppled down into the water.
The incoming person was precisely Fisher.
"Hold on! Older brother! Hold on!"
Within the water, that hunter hastily raising his hands indicating surrender. He strenuously stood up his body from the water bottom, hastily attempting to discuss toward Fisher,
"Older brother! A hunter's matters are nothing more than money! Since you were able to keep up with us to discover these two Demi-humans, we will admit defeat. How about this, we will divide the bounty evenly! You alone get one hundred and fifty thousand Narios, and the four of us will divide the remaining one hundred and fifty thousand! How about it?"
They thought Fisher was a bounty hunter who rushed over upon hearing the news. Watching helpessly as the four were all no match for Fisher, that boss acted resolutely, hastily easing up the atmosphere.
Fisher cast a glance at him, lacking the intent to make a move. He merely stated,
"You guys go. You won't be taking away these two Demi-humans today..."
The boss blanked out slightly, but still strenuously smiled lightly. Simultaneously raising his hands, he used his eyes to gesture toward his other partners for a bit. Subsequently, he slowly backed outward,
"Alright, alright, alright... Life is more important than anything else. Whatever you say goes. We will depart from the rear water channel right here..."
Fisher quietly watched the opposite party, lacking any superfluous movements.
While walking, that person opened his mouth. The lantern light was tossed into the water. This caused that boss's visage to gradually become blurry and unclear.
"Older brother, logically speaking, these two Demi-humans were discovered by us. For me to divide it evenly with you is already displaying the utmost benevolence and righteousness! I didn't expect you would actually be so insatiably greedy, wanting to forcibly monopolize all the money... Do you know how much money three hundred thousand is towards us? It's a number we can even discard our lives for!"
"Careful!"
Above the pipes, Reinar's voice of reminder transmitted over. Yet before that voice transmitted over, Fisher's body already possessed movement.
Behind him, a single hunter pulled out an exceptionally small and exquisite firearm from his embrace aiming at Fisher. While the fiery light exploded with a bang, Fisher had already dodged away.
But behind, another brawny man hollered loudly in a single utterance. Abruptly charging atop the crab, he tightly bear-hugged Fisher, refusing to let him possess any superfluous movements.
The female tightly bound atop the crab issued "Wu wu" sounds, using her feet to tap the crab beneath her body. That crab trembled for a bit, shaking the people atop its body until they fell crookedly. As expected, in the next instant, quite a few bullets simply shot toward the direction they had originally been standing in.
"Kill this son of a bitch; take the money back!"
That boss abruptly stood up from inside the water. Raising his gun, he charged toward the direction of the crab, while that brawny man tightly hugging Fisher also gritted his teeth and hollered loudly,
"Don't mind me! Fire! Take the money back to my family members!"
But within his embrace, Fisher's gaze grew increasingly icy,
This gang of people wished to lay a murderous hand and bring the money back!
Thinking up to here, Fisher also no longer held his hand.
He suddenly used his elbows to strike toward the lower abdomen of the brawny man behind. A burst of massive explosive force blossomed from Fisher's body, making the lower abdomen of the man behind act as if it had suffered the impact of an artillery shell. Striaghtaway he vomited a massive mouthful of fresh blood; the movement on his hands also loosened following along with it.
"Bang bang!"
Within the surrounding water channels, the sounds of firearms were endless. Fisher, however, took advantage of the situation to use the man with a softening body back behind as a shield. Countless bullets struck his body straightly. His body trembled for a moment; it wasn't long before he breathed his last.
The few hunters with reddened eyes desired to continue firing. Fisher was exceedingly serene, turning his head back lightly, saying toward the female Demi-human behind,
"Lower your head."
"Eh?"
The female Demi-human did as instructed subconsciously upon hearing this. In the next instant, Fisher abruptly flung out the corpse in his hands. The Fluid Sword in his right hand slashed toward his surroundings exactly like a revolving turbine.
"Clang!"
That spinning blade left behind a continuous and profound blade scar upon the walls. Along the path, that blade completely instantly threaded through the bodies of those few hunters like silver light, entirely as if seeing through without obstruction.
When Fisher indifferently withdrew the Fluid Sword, those few hunters looked at Fisher using Unbelievable gazes. Yet very quickly they could only see the lower halves of their own bodies still standing in the water. Because their upper bodies had already toppled into the water uncontrollably.
They had been severed straight off; even a sliver of miserable shrieking crying out hadn't been issued.
With a cold face, Fisher reached out to wipe his own visage for a bit. Atop his face, a stray bullet had threaded through, leaving behind a blood scar, but it was not a major hindrance.
The crab woman with pinkish long hair behind opened her mouth, looking at the half-segments of human torsos standing in the water, her face entirely frightened stark white.
Following the deaths of those few hunters, the Weavers bound to her and the large sea crab Haru's bodies also sluggishly disappeared without a trace.
Fortunately, having arrived at human world she ingested the Voice-Changing Conch ahead of time. If she had been unable to understand this human's words just then and stayed in place dumbly, wouldn't she be directly severed by him?
"Mama!"
Watching helplessly as the matters subsided, Reinar above the pipes hastily leaped down from above, landing directly in the water and swimming toward the large crab Haru, pouncing into the embrace of that female Crab-person.
"Reinar... Fantastic; you're unhurt..."
That female Crab-person also shed tears out, continuously kissing Reinar's forehead.
Fisher didn't interrupt this touching reunion. He merely silently stored the Fluid Sword in hand away well,. Soon after, he squatted his body down to look toward that gigantic sea crab Haru bearing them up.
That crab wasn't anything special. It was merely seemingly that its body size had been expanded countless times. Its overall color was cyan.
Haru's two large eyes looked toward the human who was similarly looking toward it. Soon after, under its mouth, it spat a few bubbles.
"Glug glug..."
"Haru is currently expressing his gratitude toward you..."
Fisher turned his head to look. He only saw that female Crab-person carrying a grateful smile looking toward him. Raising the crab pincer on her own left hand, after giving Fisher a slight bow, she self-introduced herself,
"You certainly must be the Mr. Fisher whom Reinar frequently brings up, right. I am Reinar's mother, Baimu. Many thanks for your rescue this time. Previously the child's father still suspected whether you Harbored Ill Intentions toward Reinar... Truly sorry."
"It's no matter."
The appearance of that Crab-person was exceptionally beautiful. The crab organs on her body were entirely identical to Reinar's. It was merely that there were extremely many injuries on her body still seeping blood outward; this also made her complexion extremely pale.
Fisher released a Healing Magic toward her. The Healing Magic of the Walking Stick could at most also merely aid her in stopping the bleeding a bit. There was no way to let her heal thoroughly. However, right now it traded for being sufficiently usable.
"Many thanks."
"Step step."
Right while Baimu still wished to speak, sounds of footsteps transmitted precisely from the pipes above. Upon hearing, there were precisely still other hunters currently nearing this side.
Baimu's complexion changed. Fisher also opened his mouth and stated,
"It's not good to converse here. We must go out from here. Staying here will be discovered sooner or later... Can you summon Ramastia to let them help you guys disguise it a bit?"
Looking at Reinar who remained in human appearance within her embrace, Baimu shook her head helplessly,
"Here is truly too far from the sea bottom; praying has no way to let Lord Ramastia hear our voices. We were all blessed ahead of time before coming ashore... Right now I and the child's father are both injured; with the Blessing undone, I reverted back to my original appearance, and still have no way to revert back temporarily... Otherwise, You lead Reinar away first. Worst comes to worst, I and Haru will first return to the sea..."
"But what about Papa? Papa was captured by them... Papa, he..."
Baimu gritted her teeth, but right now there wasn't any other better method either. Themselves were even difficult to be preserved; much less bringing up saving Reinar's father Lingjiu.
Fisher suddenly recalled. Even the ordinary Whale-kin couldn't summon Ramastia at any time. Only Jasmine and her mother were capable of doing so.
But the problem was that Saint-Nazareth University was exceptionally far from here. Bringing Baimu who was exposing her original Crabman Race outward appearance fundamentally lacked any way to be accomplished.
"There are gunshots over there. Let's head over and take a look!"
The footsteps on the pipes above were nearing increasingly closer. Fisher knit his brows. He suddenly looked toward that Fluid Sword gripped in his own right hand, recalling something...
If this sword wasn't an item that ought to exist within Reinar's bag, then ultimately who gave this item to him? And could even place it inside Reinar's bag completely unbeknownst to gods or ghosts?
Fisher recalled for a bit how that gang of ocean Demi-humans prayed. Subsequently, he pierced the Fluid Sword into the water, chanting in a low voice,
"Origin of Life, Ruler of the Ocean, God of a Hundred Faces Ramastia. I call out Your name. Setting out pleading for You to aid the ocean living beings behind to traverse through this difficult juncture..."
Waiting until the prayer was finished chanting, within the water channel was still exceptionally quiet. Absolutely nothing happened.
"Lord Ramastia cannot hear it... Here is truly far too far from the sea bottom."
"Glug glug..."
But right in the next instant of Reinar opening her mouth, Haru beneath their bodies suddenly stood up his body. Through its massive body, Fisher looked down. He only saw that the water surface beneath it was currently continually spawning out bubbles, exactly as if it was about to thoroughly boil the entire water surface entirely.
"L-Lord Ramastia?"
The blank voices of Baimu and Reinar sounded out. In their shocked gazes, the surrounding water surface abruptly lifted up a gigantic Hydrus. The massive body of that Hydrus entirely wrapped up Haru alongside the several people atop its body loop by loop.
Fisher hadn't expected that relying upon on the water flow he was actually truly able to summon Ramastia! Could it be he was also selected by It because of some sort of reason?
"Puu!"
Right when Fisher loosened a breath and raised his head up, the mouth of that Hydrus opened. A water flow completely like a waterfall sprayed out toward Fisher, entirely spraying his whole person wet.
"..."
Fisher closed his eyes, wiping his own visage that ceaselessly flowed with water for a bit wordlessly using his hand. Looking up toward that gigantic Hydrus Ramastia which lacked five organs and solely possessed shape, he didn't know why, but right at this moment in time, he could actually read an exhilarative sensation of revenge atop the face of that Hydrus.
What grudge was this fellow bearing in the end, ah?!
Aside from catching It within the magic once, and then simply researching Jasmine a bit, he also didn't commit any excessive matters, ah? Was it worth It taking revenge on him like this?
Reinar and Baimu behind were covering their mouths not daring to issue a sound. After all, too many matters had occurred today, all being far too surpassing their imaginations...
After finishing spraying Fisher with water, Ramastia was finally comfortable. Acting upon matters was not sluggish.
That massive snake body constructed of water flow fully tightened the grasp forcefully upon them exactly like a palm, transforming into a sphere of water. Waiting several more seconds had passed, that water sphere sluggishly turned into serene water flow anew. Waiting after the water flow descended, within this drainage pipe there was already no longer the massive crab and the several figures.
On the pipes above, finally a good several hunters holding lanterns climbed down. Yet they only saw a few corpses with only their half-segments left standing atop the serene water surface.
"What's the matter?"
The a few hunters issued shocked exclamations, but within the water channel it was exceedingly serene. Nobody answered their questions.
