A saintess? She's just a bad woman.

This dance transcends race, and even more so, it transcends the beauty and charm of women.

"I humbly submit to the plan of cutting off the snake in the great marshland and pursuing the deer in the Central Plains

"Under the shadows of flowers, dragons leap freely; on the brocade cushions, phoenixes arrive in reverence."

The energy that had been somewhat depleted because Princess Helok stopped dancing was now visibly replenishing with each new step Saint Karina took.

"What kind of dance is this?"

Princess Hero was somewhat infatuated.

She never knew that her beloved could have such a charming side. Her heart pounded like a drum.

She had a premonition that soon she would witness the birth of an underwater miracle.

This dance is truly magical; compared to the mermaid's light and pleasing dance, it seems as if it were born to fight.

“You…go and tell my mother that we can strike first and punish those foolish sirens.”

Driven by the music, every cell in her body was returning to its peak. Princess Helos suppressed the urge to jump up and gave the order to her guard.

"Yes, Your Royal Highness."

The guard suppressed his urge to jump up and swam toward the office area where the mermaid queen often stayed.

At this moment, the shimmering light emanating from the altar had turned golden.

"Om..."

This underwater kingdom's city has finally undergone a long-awaited sublimation through energy.

The deep sea was bleached pure white, and countless mermaids who had suffered minor injuries were instantly healed. Even mermaids who had severed limbs recovered in their hospital beds and miraculously grew new arms that were even more powerful than the limbs they had before they were severed.

With the blessing of the Salt City, the power of the Merfolk was pushed to its peak in ten thousand years.

As the dance ended, Helo stepped onto the altar and took Saint Karina's hand. Her beautiful, sea-blue eyes seemed to sparkle with starlight, captivating all who looked away. Helo gazed at Saint Karina with an expression of adoration, like a devotee looking at a deity, almost as if words of praise were on his lips.

Even though she didn't use many beautiful words to praise the dance, Saint Karina knew that the princess was completely captivated by it, almost unable to extricate herself.

That might not just be the gaze of someone admiring, but more like... the gaze of someone secretly in love. Saint Karina had this feeling. But it could also be a misperception, after all, she wasn't really sure what a young girl's mind was like.

"Your dance was an eye-opener for me. It was so...so beautiful. I can't describe how I felt just now. My thoughts were like floating on clouds, unable to settle down for a long time, and my body felt light as a feather..."

Helo's cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were misty with barely concealed excitement. She felt increasingly inadequate in her vocabulary, struggling to find words that suited Saint Karina's identity and descriptions.

Her feelings for the person in front of her had reached their peak.

37. The final offensive begins

"All troops, charge!"

Having learned the truth about the altar, Nora brandished the Trident of Poseidon, her fighting spirit reaching its peak.

She had long wanted those blind sirens to learn a lesson and show them that the mermaid race was not something that just any Tom, Dick, or Harry could bully.

"For glory! For our homeland! For our kingdom! Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Wearing the salt armor blessed by the sea god, everything was being arranged in full swing.

The mermaid soldiers are all warriors, armed with all sorts of weapons, ready to meet the impending general offensive.

Seemingly sensing the change inside, the sea monster, which had been spewing black water and polluting the city's barrier, shrank its neck. This creature was a behemoth among sea monsters; given just a few more days, it could eliminate the annoying barrier and launch an unimpeded attack.

It is a monstrous snake with nine heads, ferocious and enormous. Its bizarre appearance represents evil, its huge body represents power, and its many heads represent strong vitality.

The army of sirens and sea monsters was originally just outside the city barrier of the underwater kingdom, but in recent days they have been constantly consuming the barrier's energy with their filthy demonic energy.

At this moment, the Hydra seemed to sense something. A hint of fear flashed in its eyes, but it quickly became angry at itself for having such an emotion. Its terrifying, blood-red maw opened wide, as if trying to release its accumulated power through a burst of energy to cover up its cowardice.

Nine long, thick black water columns shot out simultaneously, violently impacting the energy barrier. Corrosive factors spread, and the barrier was indeed blasted open.

It seems the disappearance of the light barrier can be accelerated. Exhausted from releasing too much power, the hydra monster grinned, revealing a terrifying smile.

"Om."

But before the Hydra monster could rejoice for long, the barrier, which had been unresponsive, suddenly launched a counterattack.

The pale white ball of light drifted onto the Hydra monster. It quickly discovered that its body was being salted, and its powerful life force was being dissolved by some strange power. However, the outward manifestation was that it seemed to have dissolved into seawater, eventually turning into a white dot the size of a microparticle.

"what happens?"

The disappearance of a powerful life force made even the Naga Queen restless.

She wasn't beautiful; in fact, looking at her for too long would trigger trypophobia in most people. Admittedly, this Naga queen had a beautiful face and an incredibly hot figure, but her hair was in strands that looked like moving snakes.

Don't underestimate this thing, because her hair can burrow into the enemy's body like a parasite, providing excellent control.

"It's like this... Your Majesty, everything was fine until the Hydra monster blasted a hole in the barrier, but now it has closed the hole by itself and launched a terrible counterattack."

"I can see this simple thing with my own eyes, I don't need you to repeat it. I'm asking you, what is the reason for this situation?"

The Naga Queen's hair hissed as she rushed towards the messenger's face. It seemed that if the messenger didn't give her a satisfactory answer, this "parasite" would devour her brain.

"Yes...yes. Please forgive me..."

The messenger, terrified by the sight of the snake-like black hair, turned ashen-faced and stammered for mercy.

"I've heard that the merfolk are a race blessed by the sea god, and they can gain power and amplification by pleasing the god. The pillar of light that transmitted the magic came from that great sea god."

“Your Majesty, you may consider that the change originated from a divine power.”

The sea goddess is a high and mighty deity, and even if the mermaids are her kin, she would never personally intervene.

So... at most, it's just a blessing after making her happy.

"whispering sound."

After listening, Queen Naga clicked her tongue in annoyance.

She suddenly wants to withdraw her troops. If she had known it would be this troublesome, she would have preferred to be a local tyrant in another sea area and not get involved in the mess of the divine race.

Deities demonstrate their power through the number of believers they have, and the sea god alone has countless temples and countless followers among humankind.

Perhaps... the underwater kingdom is still a delicious piece of meat, but it's hard to bite into.

If things didn't end so hastily, those powerful sea monsters might turn against them. The Naga Queen planned to leave immediately. She had a bad feeling that the longer she stayed, the more difficult things would become, and she had to make a decision quickly.

"Messenger, pass down the order: there's no need to hold back any longer! The entire army is to attack the barrier, and let the sea monsters rise up as well!"

Regardless of whether she can break through the city's defenses, the Naga Queen cannot allow these sea monsters to remain.

A sharp glint flashed in her eyes. Disobedient pieces should be used as expendable resources in this war, while powerful pieces that threaten the player should be discarded as waste.

"Yes!"

The messenger, still shaken by the loss of life, immediately amplified his voice with magic to spread the order.

Using lives as a foundation, countless Naga soldiers, divided into small groups, relentlessly employed sea magic, combined with the corruption of sea monsters, to destroy the barrier's protective shield.

"Oh!"

"boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Countless attacks rained down on the barrier, like countless raindrops relentlessly striking it, only the scene was far more spectacular.

The deafening explosion churned the clear seawater into murky turbidity. Giant octopuses, giant worms, giant hydras, and giant monstrous fish—these monsters, developed to their fullest extent, were like heavily armed arsenals, relentlessly spewing out the ammunition stored within their bodies.

The orbs of light could indeed destroy some attackers, but there were too many of them. Gradually, after consuming a tenth of the army and dozens of sea monsters, the barrier's light and shadow finally grew thinner and dimmer, on the verge of disappearing, becoming as fragile as paper.

"Boom."

With a final, soft tremor, the barrier light shield finally burst completely, like a punctured balloon.

Before the Naga could even rejoice, they discovered that the Merfolk army had blocked their path toward the city. Their aura was incredibly powerful, and their expressions were full of confidence, showing no fear whatsoever of the shattering of their defensive barrier.

Strange... This is really strange.

"Transformation!"

Upon hearing Her Majesty the Queen's voice from the messenger in the army, and thinking of the destruction of their comrades, the male Nagas who had been given the potion in advance immediately drank the potion from the bottle at their waist.

Glug glug, the blood within the blue-blooded Naga is instantly transforming into purple blood. This was obtained by their queen, but at the cost of overdrawing their life force.

A race with short lifespans and no reproductive ability has no future, so after drinking the potion, the Naga who charge to the front are all male.

Like the Naga and Merfolk, women can intercourse to produce offspring, so during wartime, as long as a certain number of women survive, the population can quickly recover to a reliable level.

At least for now, in terms of momentum and strength, the two sides have narrowed the gap again through the drug.

38. Enchanting Dance

At this moment, Saint Karina paid no attention to the fierce fighting on the other side, and waved to Princess Helo.

"Let's jump."

"rise?"

Princess Helos was still immersed in her infatuation with Saint Karina when she heard the sound of the barrier breaking. She pointed to herself, somewhat puzzled.

However, after receiving Saint Karina's approval, she obediently followed her onto the altar stage.

No one has ever said that the dance of pleasing the sea god can only be performed by one person.

Moreover, Saint Karina had dealt with the gods and knew that those guys were idle all day long, high and mighty, and needed believers to maintain their faith, but sometimes they were just looking for fun, just like the god of fun.

"But... I don't know sword dance."

Princess Hero said with some shame.

"It's okay, I'll take you to dance something different this time. Sorry for the offense."

Saint Karina cupped the other's cheeks and planted a pure kiss devoid of any personal desire.

In an instant, through a shared, almost empathic, transmission of images, Princess Hero understood what Saint Karina was planning to dance next.

To provide a continuous supply of energy to the merman soldiers, the altar needs to be kept at a boiling point. Because of the attack by the sirens and sea monsters, the city's energy has been depleted and is gradually declining.

If possible, as a princess, she would naturally hope that her side could not only win, but also minimize casualties.

Every life of a member of the tribe is precious and unique. Although it is impossible to be completely free of sacrifice, and war is cruel, it is worthwhile to reduce the sacrifice through one's own efforts.

"Are all human dances this crazy?"

In the past, Princess Hero danced alone because no one could match her charm and dance moves. Dancing with others was not as good as her solo performance.

And now, the catchy and youthful dance moves that pop into my head are just so authentic.

"Are you ready? I'm about to begin, Your Highness~"

"Well, I'm ready."

Princess Hero nodded firmly, her bones softening from the teasing gaze.

The song was created by a country called Japan. It's a erotic jingle, easily used to please the sea god, who is a dual deity of the goddess of pleasure and the goddess of lilies.

The fast-paced background music made Princess Helok instinctively start dancing along with the images in her mind, as if she had discovered a new world, a stark contrast to her usual elegant and slow-paced style.

This song is so sexy... and so fast...

[Straightforward and naked love, the most primal dating. A hunt in the bedroom, an ambitious attempt.]

[Enticed to boldly pluck the forbidden fruit, its sweet taste made him close his eyes and steal a bite, touching the deepest pit, and his body began to tremble.]

Just by dancing and listening to the lyrics, Princess Helos felt her legs getting weaker and weaker, while her skin felt like it was about to boil.

She was glad she was a mermaid and not a lobster, otherwise she would definitely be all red from being boiled.

With bird-like dance steps, rhythmic twists, and surging waves, Big White Rabbit felt a slightly embarrassing pulling sensation. Every dance step of the two caused a surge of energy fluctuations, making them dance with unparalleled joy.

"Buzz!"

The energy waves on the altar surged back to their peak, and even the shattered barrier began to show signs of recovery, almost as if it were about to collapse completely.

On the battlefield, the merfolk soldiers were fighting against a Naga army that outnumbered them several times over. But as their energy surged, their weapons became invincible, and they fought without any fear of injury, unleashing explosive damage to overwhelm the enemy.

"For the sake of loved ones!"

"For home!"

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Behind them lay the city where the merfolk had lived for generations, where their wives and children lived, and where no warrior would hesitate to fight.
