I really underestimated the Aquatic Tribe, appearances can be so deceiving.
I used to naively think that a seemingly childish Aquatic Tribe of only level 33 would at most lead us into a trap.
But what I didn't expect was that not only did they lead us into a trap, but they themselves were remarkable individuals.
As soon as we entered the room, we were met with a barrage of water arrows. If I hadn't quickly reacted and conjured an ice shield, those water arrows would have struck us.
And the opponent's name had changed.
Batfish LV 79, a master of disguise among the Aquatic Tribe, excelling at camouflaging to evade enemy attacks.
Goodness, creatures like this exist?
We quickly retreated from the room, only to find ourselves surrounded by a ring of guards.
Although the guards, all under level 50, didn’t pose a significant threat to us, the problem was the expert disguised individual at level 79 ahead of us, and who knew how many more similar Aquatic Tribe were nearby.
"I don’t know your purpose, but for Aquatic Tribe of your level, you should have a better understanding of the city," the little devil from earlier said as he jumped out of the house, holding a massive fish spear in his hand.
Hey, why is an Aquatic Tribe wielding a fish spear? Isn't that strange? Didn't you just use magic earlier? Why switch to a physical weapon now?
However, the opponent paid no mind to these questions, landing and then swiftly accelerating towards us.
"Hmph! Just a fish, right?"
Bai Yueguang rushed forward, leaving a trail of blue light beneath his feet, and in an instant, he sprinted to the opponent's back.
"Ultimate · Ghost Slash · Dance of Blood!"
His movements were unbelievably fast, even though his level wasn’t as high as mine, I couldn't see his swordplay clearly. All I saw was a flash of the blade, and the opponent's fish spear was already shattered. In the next second, it seemed as if the enemy was pierced by numerous weapons, blood splattering everywhere!
"How...?"
And then he collapsed.
...
Was I overestimating the Aquatic Tribe?
Why do I feel like my reaction time is even worse than those of the same level humans... No, maybe it's because there aren’t as many high-level individuals among the humans to compare with.
The surrounding Aquatic Tribe who had surrounded us stopped in their tracks, no longer daring to come near us, exchanging looks of uncertainty.
"Boring!"
Taishi Xi jumped in place, her long spear spinning in the air!
"Ultimate · Azure Dragon · Fire Tail Storm!"
A blue flame dragon emerged from her spear, letting out a mighty roar before spiraling and ascending, smacking away the nearby Aquatic Tribe with its tail!
Meanwhile, other guards also started converging toward us, not just regular guards, but many Aquatic Tribe wearing external armor suits were descending from the sky.
Isn't it usually faster and more effective to move in water and confine the enemy's movement? Why do you Aquatic Tribe prefer making holes underwater and causing trouble for yourselves?
Who knows, maybe they just like to show off, not necessarily.
"Well, let's get to work, since we've already ticked them off, might as well take them all out," I said with a smile.
"It's also time to exercise our bodies."
"Well... there are quite a lot of people."
Mary's words made me realize that too.
I wonder if there are just a lot of Aquatic Tribe in this city, or if they are just being particularly considerate towards us because they have an astonishing number of people.
...
Or maybe the Aquatic Tribe has a particularly fast reproduction rate?
"Well, having more people around is good for training, after all."
With that said, I waved my hand and sent several ice pillars towards the Aquatic Tribe charging at us!
Come on, let's have a good workout.
Perspective: Cornelia Location: Coastal City
"Although we've escaped for now, what should we do next?"
On the airship, I turned to the others beside me and asked.
"How about we seek support from the Ais Empire or the Witte Empire?"
Hill, who was piloting the airship, suggested.
"Considering the current situation is a crisis for humanity, I don't think it should be a problem to ask for their help, right?"
"Even though that's true, there are still issues to consider."
I shrugged.
"Keep in mind that both the Ais Empire and the Witte Empire are quite far from the coastline, so if we ask for help, their military might not be able to come to our aid in a short time."
"At least we can give them a warning. Otherwise, dealing with a traitor among humans will be quite troublesome."
"That makes sense."
I nodded.
"Well, let's head back to the academy first."
I said with a smile.
Since there are people daring to betray humanity, we must be prepared.
"Let's go."
