Chapter 530 - Diverting the Hatred (1/2)

As they realized their own strength, Sylphy proceeded only to kill the higher tier officers while King Elric used his AoE magic spells to kill the rest of the weaker soldiers. In less than a few minutes, the entire army of Naga was slaughtered. Dismembered heads, arms, and tails, were drifting in the waters.

By the time King Elric had done venting his anger, the surrounding waters were dyed red. Dismembered limbs of the Nagas were seen floating on the waters.

At this point, when there was no threat left to dispose of, King Elric made his way to Sylphy and relayed his thanks.

"You have my utmost appreciation for saving me. May I have the name of my savior?"

King Elric might not know the identity of Sylphy but he could at least tell that she was one of the Light Faction members.

"My name is Sylphy. You do not need to thank me. I'm just following my master's order," said Sylphy. Saving King Elric was nothing but a request by Jiang Fei. To be honest, she had no interest in the Merfolk leader. If Jiang Fei had wanted his head, Sylphy would have immediately complied.

"Haha. Sylphy, the Disciple of the Moon God! Your strength is as powerful as ever. Can you tell me who had ordered you to save me?" asked King Elric politely even though Sylphy was extremely cold toward him. The lady was holding the famous Luminous Needle in her hand. Even Morgan had been killed with a single stab, King Elric had little to no confidence to escape if she had wanted to kill him.

"Father! Are you alright?" cried Ariel as Jiang Fei and the merry little party descended to the island.

"I am now seeing that my precious daughter is safe and sound. Are these people your reinforcements?" asked King Elric.

"No! Verdure Glider had heard of your capture and decided to come and rescue you on his own accord!" said Ariel to give credit to Jiang Fei. Even though she had made Jiang Fei accept the quest through the Love Contract effect, she had to lie since her father had not yet approved of Jiang Fei.

"So it seems," said King Elric as he paid attention to Jiang Fei. He had met Jiang Fei once before but it was from a good distance away. Now that Jiang Fei was there, King Elric thought that he should have a good look at the man who stole his daughter's heart.

When Ariel revealed about the Contract of Devotion and Jiang Fei to her father, King Elric was naturally displeased. He thought that Ariel was being too hasty about the matter. How could she simply choose a lifetime partner without even asking him about it?

"It is an honor, King Elric," said Jiang Fei as he and Isabella bowed only slightly to King Elric.

Even though King Elric had named himself the Master of the Seven Sea, he was still the leader of the Merfolk race. Isabella was the princess of the Royal Nephilim. Naturally, she had a higher position and rank. Isabella was only being polite since he was much stronger than her current state. However, politeness was where she would stop since the Merfolk leader had not yet done anything to deserve her respect.

Jiang Fei and Isabella were a package deal. If one went, so did the other.

"This one does not deserve your honor, Your Highness," said King Elric as he bowed down lower than Isabella did. Even though both Ariel and Isabella were princesses, Isabella was of a much higher status.

"And who …?" said King Elric as he wanted to address Jiang Fei casually. However, to his surprise, the person who had saved him earlier was cowering behind him. Hence, King Elric had thought that the man was something else differently.
