67 Betrayed By Her Own Kin (2/2)

If nothing she did was right, then she'll force the law of the world to accept them as right!

The mermaid didn't even take another step away before the heads of her comrades exploded. The girl backed away in fear, her eyes wavering.

”Y-you...you're not supposed to have any powers without your birthstone...how?”

The muted siren didn't move, but a lazy smile made its way up her lips. Her cold eyes observed the other girl coldly.

While it was true a siren had no powers without her gemstone, she was also a halfling. Not to mention, her mother was a direct descendant of the God of Sea. How could a daughter of hers be limited by a single birthstone?

To have a birthstone, one had to be born with it, or it could be stolen. However, there was also another method, and that was to form it from the blood essence.

Linage birthstones and gemstones were quite different in one thing.Although both did store a lot of power of the wearer, linage birthstones were created by the baby themselves in the womb to maintain control of their abundance of power that roared within their body. The babies born with it would usually be the ones with exceptional amounts of potential. The gem would help the flow of energy and usually helped store magic so the user's body wouldn't be constantly wearied.

The gems were usually formed by the baby's first pure and clean blood drop so it would also make sense that using blood essence would be the same equivalent.

The hole of the siren's forehead released a drop of dark red blood and the air around her surged uncontrollably. Her eyes turned bright purple and the blood hardened as it filled the vacant place of her stolen gemstone.

Seeing the mermaid in front of her shocked, Hongyue's eyes flashed.

If you didn't even know that much, why be so arrogant? Don't blame me for not telling.

She lifted her hand and the clear gemstone on the mermaid's forehead shattered to pieces. The mermaid screamed in pain, the screams echoing in the dark room. However, just as quickly the cries started, it ended. Not a sound could be heard in the deathly quiet room.

Moments later, the door smashed open, and the siren calmly exited out.

However soon, the siren staggered as her head throbbed. Purifying a drop of blood essence was no a simple task. She had held back because she believed perhaps, just perhaps the mermaid was joking with her. Maybe it was all a cruel joke. Once the joke was over, someone would hug her and tell her everything was fine —but no. The world was too cruel.

She crushed the legs of the dead mermaid with her heel.

These legs aren't yours. You're not suited.

The siren gently rubbed her new gemstone. The new dark red appearance indicated she already blackened, but that was fine with her. If she lived only to die, she might as bring them all down with her.
