Chapter 314 - Kingdom Of The Deep Sea (VI) (2/2)

”Yes. It stopped infecting the inhabitants because the people of the Kingdom of the Deep Sea are no longer existing. In short, they all succumbed to the disease. As for me, I was here as a guard in the secret entrance that is why I managed to know what is happening. Also, I am a part automaton, this disease is not effective against me.”

Sera and Li were speechless by the revelation.

”B-but, they should be protected by the blessings of the Sea God. How come...?” Sera was on the verge of crying.

I also can't believe it but I don't understand what is happening. If that is the case, how come the players back in the previous timeline managed to get the cooperation to fight against the demons and destroy the rule of the twin demons? I don't understand and can't easily find a connection on how it happened.

”If that is the case, does that mean the Kingdom of the Deep Sea is now the home of the undead merfolk?”

”More or less. Although if you enter, you won't find anything strange due to how the merfolk you will see still retain their own behaviors and their faces. You won't even know that they are part of the people who got infected and have died there unless someone else will tell. The moment you let your guard down, you will die and will become their food without a doubt. After all, they have turned into flesh-eating cannibals.”

”Does that mean there is a necromancer in the works in here?” I asked.

Lifera's face twitches but he quickly affirmed. ”Yes. There is indeed a necromancer and this time, he has already obtained the blessing of the Primordial Sea God and the Sea God's natural power that is usually only used by the royalty of the Merfolk and the ruler of the Kingdom of the Deep Sea. Basically, he should be the one who caused everything.

I keep quiet from what I heard. It's another necromancer. This does not bode well. Perhaps the reason I got this quest is due to the ongoing quest of me eradicating the necromancers.

The first necromancer is dead but there are still a few necromancers that are still alive. As long as they are still alive, I can't just erase in my mind whether the necromancer in the Kingdom of the Deep Sea who became the ruler of the empty kingdom to be one of those Necromancers. That is just too much of a coincidence it's not even funny anymore.

”If that is the case, we should check the situation out,” I suggested.

”What do you mean?”

”If everyone has become an undead, isn't the very first thing needed to be done is to purify and free their souls from their rotten bodies? That is always the main remedy to stop the dead people to reanimate as undead. If it works on the human towns, that also works in merfolk too.”

”Bladeheart is right, if everything is real, our task is not to return joyfully but to let all the people who got reanimated to forever rest. We might not be able to revive them but they should at least rest and get a proper send to the afterlife, not as someone who rises from the dead and then eats their fellow species. We allowed ourselves to be sealed to save them. So now that they are in need of help to rest, we should be the ones who needed to do it,” Li agreed to my suggestion.

”Li-sama! What are you talking about? Don't do this. I can't allow the two of you and any of the humans to enter the portal,” Lifera frantically stopped us.

”Lifera, this is the job of the last line of the Merfolk royalty. Even though we are not considered as royalty now that our status is officially we are dead, our task remains the same, liberate the kingdom and rebuild it!”

BAM!

Lifera who is showing a calm look on his face gets a threatening aura all of a sudden.

”I already told you guys that this is impossible.. So give it up, now.”
