326 The Matriarchs Hidden Trump Card (2/2)

Yale knew very well that it was impossible to stop that trump card unless the matriarch was killed, but Aiwai couldn't do that in time, and that was already proven in Yale's vision.

The trump card had a lot of consequences for the matriarch, and she was only using it because there wasn't any other way to continue with her ambitions.

”I admit that you are strong, but you aren't strong enough to kill me in time... Now, it is already too late! As the matriarch of the Mermaid Race, I order that all your lives become a sacrifice for the Mermaid Race!”

The bodies of the mermen and mermaids in the ground started to lose blood that was going towards the matriarch.

At that moment, everyone awoke from Yale's poison due to the immense pain.

”Matriarch, why?”

Everyone was shouting that by Spiritual Sense while they were losing blood all their blood and dying.

”You are only pawns that serve to turn me stronger. Your lives mean nothing to me.”

The order of the matriarch affected to all the mermen and mermaids, including those in the areas where the disturbs were happening and the three at the Grandmaster Rank.

Those three were unable to last a bit more than the others, but they were also doomed.

”Matriarch, you betrayed the Mermaid Race!”

The matriarch smiled when he heard that.

”I don't care for the Mermaid Race. Once I use all your life force, I will be able to obtain the full power of the World Sea Pearl, and then I am sure that no one would be able to stop me in this ocean.”

The matriarch would have liked to obtain the Sea World Pearl without losing all her pawns as they were useful, but she decided just to obtain new ones later on because it wasn't like if there weren't more mermaids in the ocean.

Swordmad's group stopped to attack those three after seeing that situation. There wasn't any reason to continue that battle.

The three mermaids at the Grandmaster Rank ended dying while cursing the matriarch.

Kaigur saw the whole scene with hatred in his eyes, he thought that the matriarch was only evil towards those with the Sea Race Bloodline, but he never thought that she could even kill without blinking all the mermen and mermaids that were fully loyal to her.

Since Kaigur had the Sea Race Bloodline, he wasn't affected by order of the matriarch. It was as Yale said to him from the start, he hadn't been in true danger of dying in any moment.

”It worked! This is my victory!”

The matriarch was extremely happy while all her people had been exterminated by herself. Moreover, all the blood of the deceased mermen and mermaids had disappeared without anyone noticing where that mass of blood had gone.

”It is as I guessed. Merumi didn't die! She was just hidden in a place where I couldn't detect her. However, you all are too naive! There is a forbidden skill passed down matriarch to matriarch to use the lifeforce of the members of the Mermaid Race to summon and punish the mermaid appointed as the next matriarch. Since the moment she was appointed as my successor her only fate was death!”

That skill existed in the case of someone appointed as the successor of the matriarch trying to kill the matriarch after obtaining the support of the crowd, but it had never been used because it was too evil. It was just a method the matriarchs had to save their lives in case of revolt.

”Now, Merumi is inside the sacred chamber, and the World Sea Pearl will absorb her life! Once someone is inside, it is impossible to open the sacred chamber from the outside, and Merumi is in a deep sleep due to the effects of the punishment summon! She is already doomed!”

Aiwai tried to attack her after hearing that, but a barrier protected the matriarch.

”Useless! The World Sea Pearl had put a barrier outside the sacred chamber. You won't be able to near me because I am inside the barrier and you outside! I won't be able to exit the isolated area until the absorption process finishes, but that is just what I need!”

Kaigur felt depressed as he thought that everything had ended at that moment.

”I am sorry, I didn't know about this kind of power...”

Kaigur felt that everything was his own fault for not knowing such important information.

The others also feel frustrated seeing how their almost successful plan had turned into a big failure.

”Everyone, why are you with those long faces?”

Yale said that through spiritual sense, he didn't try to block the transmission and let the matriarch hear it.

”Yale, the plan failed, my sister is dead, and when the matriarch obtained the refined World Sea Pearl, we won't be able to stop her.”

Kaigur felt that maybe Yale was underestimating the power of the World Sea Pearl, but Yale's smile didn't disappear.

”She had a hidden trump card that changed everything so easily, but she wasn't the only one with a hidden trump card. This is our victory.”

At that moment, the barrier broke at the same time that the door of the sacred chamber was destroyed.
