147 Ch. 147 Extinct (1/2)
Niken could no longer hold her breath and involuntarily opened her mouth, which caused the water to enter through her throat. Niken's body slowly twitched because her brain was no longer able to work, and the protection array slowly began to crack.
Flynn saw that Niken barely survived, sending his magic circle right under the girl's feet. Without thinking, he promptly moved the girl's body to someone.
Just as Niken's defense array broke, the evil mermaids instantly burst to pounce on Niken to eat her. Luckily, Niken's body had teleported in time to make Flynn breathe relievedly.
Smelling the magic aroma from Niken's body, Flynn immediately knew that Niken was the inamorata sought by his master. When he met Niken five hundred years ago, he did not recognize the scent because the Elementalist knights did not exist in this world five hundred years ago.
Apparently, the pleasant aroma emanating from Niken's body was a fusion of Niken's cultivation energy and the black knight's.
That's why he directly sent Niken's body to Kazuto without a second thought.
Meanwhile, Kazuto and others waiting near the lake barrier felt surprised when suddenly there was water from above soaking Kazuto. Even more surprising, Kazuto faced both his hands to the sky readily accepted the girl's body from above as if he knew that there would be a girl who appeared.
Zehell and Lionel's mouths opened wide when they saw the girl's face none other than Niken!
”Niken? How can she suddenly fall from the sky?” queried Lionel as he approached Niken to check his condition.
”I don't know. I felt her presence, and she just appeared.” Kazuto replied while drying Niken's wet clothes using his magic. These days Kazuto has become increasingly skilled at using magic because he often used magic to track Niken's whereabouts.
That's why he could dry his clothes with Niken efficiently without running out of energy. It's just that he did not know how to wake Niken.
”Why doesn't she wake up?”
”Let me see.”
Lionel stepped aside to make room for Zehell to examine the state of his disciple's inamorata. Zehell moved his right hand and created a magic circle under his palm.
The palm of his hand stopped just above Niken's chest and then moved it up towards Niken's mouth. Instantly a lump of water came out of Niken's mouth, causing the girl to cough and spit out the remaining water that had entered her lungs.
”Niken,” Kazuto could not hide his extraordinary relief, finally meeting again with his inamorata.
”Kazu?”
Kazuto immediately hugged the girl tightly as if he was afraid Niken would disappear from his sight again. Niken also felt relieved that she had returned. Her hand clutched Kazuto's clothes enjoying the man's arms.
When she was surrounded by the evil mermaid, she could see Merylin among the other evil creatures. Even though her face had completely changed for the worse, Niken could see a small black tiara on her head, signifying her identity as a royal princess.
The beautiful Merylin, who was so cheerful and childish, now turned into a terrible monster. And the monster really wants to eat her blindly. If Flynn hadn't saved her on time, she might have been the evil mermaid's food.
Flynn? Niken just remembered the daemon and broke away from her lover's arms.
”Flynn, he saved me. Where is he?”
