331 Merumis Battle Form (2/2)

Yale explained the true story to Merumi and Kaigur because Yale felt that it was important that both knew the truth about their existence.

”Merumi, the evolution of your bloodline is what your ancestor wanted to create back then. You shall feel prideful for having accomplished it.”

Having two powerful bloodlines usually led to problems which were the reason for Merumi being unable to awake her Sea Race Bloodline correctly back then or the reasons for Wyba suffering before receiving Liye's help. In fact, if it weren't because Kaigur's Sea Race bloodline was far stronger than his other bloodline, he wouldn't have been able to awake the Sea Race Bloodline easier either. Of course, in exchange, Kaigur lacked a lot of mermen's abilities.

It was only because of the success on Yale's plan that Merumi managed to merge her bloodlines making them evolve into a new one. If Yale had followed the original plan, Merumi wouldn't have been able to merge her bloodlines, at least not without Yale helping her later to artificially improve her bloodline as he did on Shirk back then.

”Mercer, I will try to change into my battle form, but I don't know how it will be. If I am ugly, will you hate me?”

Merumi didn't know how her battle form would be, but Kaigur wasn't handsome at all in his battle form, so she feared that Mercer would dislike her. As for the fact that if Mercer stopped to love her, she would die, she didn't even think about it because Mercer's opinion about her was something that she valued more than her own life.

”It didn't matter how you are on your battle form! I will still love you!”

Mercer was a kid, but he wasn't someone who would start to hate his lover because she turned ugly.

Merumi was relieved after hearing Mercer and tried to change her form. A pink light surrounded her body as she changed.

Two seconds later, Merumi had already transformed into her battle form.

She had a pair of legs covered by pink scales and the same applied to the rest of her body. The scales were very small and seemed like a skin which was similar to Kaigur's battle form, but Merumi's scales were smaller and more compact. However, Merumi's body had more fish-like traits than Kaigur's battle form.

She wasn't ugly at all, but clearly, her face couldn't be considered human. Moreover, she still had a pink tail on her back that looked exactly like her tail in her mermaid form.

Merumi tried to speak, but only a strange and cute sound appeared from her mouth.

”It seems that the vocal cords in your current form have some difficulties to speak in our language. Originally, the members of the Sea Race had that problem when learning the language of this world. Don't worry because it is just a matter of time until you get used to speaking in your battle form, at least you can still use your Spiritual Sense to speak.”

Merumi relaxed after Yale said that because she was really scared when she felt that she was unable to speak, but after trying to use her Spiritual Sense, she confirmed that Yale was right.

Moreover, since usually, the Merumi was in the water she was more used to her Spiritual Sense than to speak normally. In fact, among mermaids and mermen, they barely used their real voices after reaching he Novice Rank because under the water the sound didn't transmit correctly and besides when they learn to speak and to use Mesmerizing Voice, they didn't go to the surface of the water too much.

”Mercer, what do you think?”

For Merumi, Mercer's first impression of her battle form was extremely important.

Mercer stood up and hugged Merumi before answer.

”You are beautiful.”

Mercer was sincere with his words. He didn't dislike Merumi's battle form because she looked adorable despite not looking like a human at all. If she looked as muscular as Kaigur, then he probably would have had some problems in praising her appearance.

Merumi blushed when she heard Mercer, and after their hug ended, she tried to walk a bit for the first time in her life.

”It isn't as difficult as I thought.”

Kaigur had told Merumi that it was difficult using the legs for the first time, but she didn't feel that it was difficult.

”Merumi, try to change to your human form before trying to walk again.”

Yale had guessed that the reason for Merumi being able to walk easily was that mermaid tail on her back that gave her stability, so he wanted her to try to walk in her human form to confirm it.

Mercer also wanted to know how Merumi would look in her human form, so he was expecting it, and Merumi didn't fail to notice that.

A pink light surrounded her body again while she changed to her human form.
