Chapter 965 – The Sea

— Pogereuk.

The dismembered bodies of the mermaids sink to the bottom of the water, scattering blood and intestines. The blood is so alluring that schools of small fish swimming nearby approach like bullets fired from a machine gun and pierce their mouths to tear the flesh.

This is the cycle of death and life.

So was the trident they carried.
A weapon that loses its owner simply falls.

But damn, aren’t they all made of iron? The fishmen used knives forged from coral, but they would have to have specialized facilities to use such iron weapons.

Tapping iron in water doesn’t make much sense in my common sense. If there’s magic, there’s a possibility, but I’m not sure about this. Could it be that, as the officer said, they were armed with pirates? Or is there a base on land?

Anyhow, it’s well worth finding out.

—Slurreuk.

Unlike mermaids who became corpses, mermaids who were simply stunned because they were outside the shock wave floated to the surface. Body is discarded Let’s pick out some of these babies and take care of them. Of course, those who can’t be taken are also turned into corpses.

I immediately got up on the water.

“Whoa.”

Inhale, exhale.

This is the power of the Heavenly Demon’s reign.

Some of the chews can just be changed alive. Do you dare to point a spear at me like that? Even the boats given by the soldiers were smashed to pieces.

I borrowed it, but I ate it like crazy.
At this point, what will my body be like?

This can never be forgiven.

“These nursing mothers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

I scolded this world like a roar.

There were exactly six mermaids that came to mind. One in each hand. I will kill the remaining four and take only two.

ㅡpain!

As soon as I made up my mind, I hit the water surface and shot my body out. Flying like a guided missile, I seized the male mermaid floating in a stunned state, grabbed it by the neck of her, and killed it by crushing its neck bones of her.

ㅡWooddeuk!

Literally grabbing the back of the back her with a grip and crushing it. Soon, the water around him turned red, as if blood was pouring out of his nose and mouth. Immediately discard the corpse and jump out towards another target.

ㅡWooddeuk!
ㅡWooddeuk!
ㅡWooddeuk!

The endless sound of picking up trees.

After repeating such a murderous task and killing four mermaids easily, he took the remaining two mermaids by the wrists. Let’s just take these pups. Fortunately, I was still in the middle of fainting, so I thought I could carry it with me.

“Heavenly Demon God.”

As soon as I grabbed their wrists with both hands, I concentrated.

The Heavenly Demon’s lordship from earlier literally shattered the seawater and released a huge shockwave, leaving my body floating on the water for a while.

Then.

“The Heavenly Demon Award.”

This is also possible

ㅡToo-kwang!!

When I strongly stamped my feet submerged in the water, an explosion occurred and my body floated upward. It wasn’t a 90 degree vertical jump. Exactly 45 degrees. The body shoots diagonally.

ㅡshake, shake.

As they fly away, the bodies of the mermaids caught in my hand flutter. The arm won’t be ripped off, but it will dislocate. Of course, I don’t have to worry about these cubs.

When the body that was shot up like that touches the surface of the water again.

ㅡQuaang!!

While taking a step that is familiar to me, I launch my body again.

“I am the Heavenly Demon.”

So I ran across the water like a transcendent basilisk lizard. A long time ago. The Lord Jesus Christ also crossed the sea spreading his water money. Was this what he was feeling at the time?

“It’s Kim Cut.”

It was when I was speeding through the water like that.

“Kak…! Kaaaaa!!”
“Kiyaaaaa!!”

The mermaids who woke up from the stunned state screamed and tried to emit light. Of course, that didn’t mean I couldn’t overcome my strength and current speed.

I sped up a bit more.

ㅡCoooung!

When I finally reached the beach, I threw the two mermaids onto the sand. This was a place where there were no soldiers. There must have been a patrol ship near the sea, but it might not have been noticed because it wasn’t even 5 minutes after the raid.

Haha…!”
“What the hell is this…!”

The mermaids who were thrown onto the sandy beach wriggled, grabbed me by the shoulder on the side where my wrist was caught, and complained of pain.

“You bastard mermaids!!! What the hell are they! If you don’t tell me, I’ll eat raw fish alive!!”
“Huh!”
“This, human…!”

ㅡ Wow!

I asked as I grabbed my wet blue hair and lifted it up.

“Gahaaaaa!!!”
“Who are you guys!!!”
“Let go! Let go!! Let go, human!!!”

You bastard… This is also a monster, so words won’t work. Grabbing a handful of his hair His, I swung it like a mace and drove it to the floor again.

ㅡCoooung!

“Dehak!”

The mermaid next to her just opened her mouth in amazement. First of all, because the lower body of her was a fish, it could not escape.

“Kuhh…!”
“Tell me your name. There are two people to interrogate, so if you don’t tell me, I’ll eat you raw.”
“Well, then kill me!! There’s nothing to say to a human!!”

This kid hasn’t come to his senses yet.

“This is not a joke…!!”

ㅡPoo-wook!

I poked my index finger deeply into the fish’s lower body. His fingers pierced his scales and muscles with a simple thread, as if piercing his head his.

“Haaaaa!!”

As the blood splatters, a scream erupts.

“I don’t know about the human upper body, but if it’s the lower body, no problem!!! I’ll pay you back for the pain of being eaten alive by live octopuses!!! If you don’t talk, I’ll eat your flesh!!”

Of course, no matter how much I like sashimi, I am not such an inhumane man as to occasionally devour the raw flesh of unpleasant creatures. It would be better to extract information from two people rather than one. For now, let’s break the will to resist.

ㅡJiik!

“Hyaaaaa!!”

I tore off his flesh with my fingers and shook it in front of my eyes.

“Like this.”
“That, stop! Stop! I’ll tell you everything!!”
“You traitor bastard!! Are you afraid to open her mouth out of pain!!!!”
“What, what!!”
“Be quiet!!”

ㅡQuaang!!

Unable to suppress my rage, I impulsively threw the Heavenly Demon Honey Chestnut on his head. ㅡPughak! Immediately, the exploded head scattered and stained my whole body with blood.

I’m sorry… I couldn’t keep my promise.
But I had to resolve the grudge against Sannakji.

“…!”

So there was only one mermaid left.

A mermaid staring at me trembling in fear.

“Mermaid. Fuck, what if you were so murderous when you speared my belly, then suddenly you’re so scared?”

I asked while touching his webbed ears.

“Sorry… Sorry…”

It was a male mermaid with a fairly stocky upper body, but he only apologized as if he was completely frightened. That should be enough for interrogation.

“It’s okay. If you don’t go into the sea water, you’re not going to search?”
“Ha, for a day or so… It’s okay… “
“It looks like a goura.”
“Really! Really!”

Doesn’t it follow right away anyway? I’ll have to quickly inform the soldiers and set up a water tank.

“What is the name of your mermaid friend?”
“Kurtak… It’s Kurtak.”
“How the fuck, what’s that guy’s name?”

The cry of the fish must have been more sophisticated than that.

“How can people speak?”
“Because I have to communicate with those humans… All mermaids learn…”
“Communication? But why did you spear it first?”
“I was given such a mission…”

He just shuddered and rolled his eyes anxiously as he answered my question. He seems downright terrified, if not for the acting.

But it’s a mission… Let’s judge properly later whether this young horse is old or not, and if it’s enough to receive a mission, it means that these guys have a top-down command system.

It wouldn’t be strange if they had a purpose for something like that.

What is communication more than anything?

These bastards must have learned the language to stick with the pirates.

Hehe, good. You said it well. If you cooperate properly, I won’t kill you. Of course, I won’t eat raw flesh.”
“…”
“Answer me!!!!!”
“Yes, yes! I see!!!”
“Perfect.”

Then let’s go take it.

I immediately grabbed the two guys and headed towards the soldiers.

*          *

“It’s a mermaid! Paladin-nim captured a mermaid!!!”

The soldiers showed an explosive reaction when they brought the mermaid. I said as I threw the headless body at them.

“Could you get me a water tank?”
“All right!”

The soldier responded vigorously to my request.

It’s very comfortable because everyone listens to my request. The title Paladin is very useful.

“Oh, but how long can a mermaid live out of water?”
“It varies from person to person, but I know it lasts for about a day!”

If it was one day, this bastard wouldn’t have put on a gura.
Anyway, I took the mermaid and found the officer.

“You caught a mermaid.”
“Heo-eok! You caught me alive like this…!”
“Instead, I blew up the boat. I’ll make up for that.”
“It’s okay! You used it to capture mermaids!”
“If so.”

I looked down at the trembling mermaid, tied it up properly with the string inside, and sat down to talk to the officer.

“The officer must know that I’ve been scouting in a boat for the past few days.”
“Of course.”
“I did the same today, but mermaids suddenly appeared and attacked me. There were sixteen of them, and they were all armed with iron weapons.”
“…Yes.”

He took out a piece of paper and wrote down my words.

“Anyway, I guess I’ll have to do some interrogation. I’m finally getting it right. These bastards did some reconnaissance. They must have been gathering information and setting up a plan to attack me.”
“It makes sense.”

In fact, I drove a small boat as a bait, but looking at the raid like this, I get a moderate estimate. They gathered information near this shore. And he felt the need to exclude me and attacked.

“I brought a fish tank.”

Soon the soldiers brought the fish tank.

“Oh, thank you.”

I went right outside and filled the tank with seawater. Then he came back and put Kurtak the mermaid into the tank.

“Really… You’ve got a lot of strength. You just lifted a tank like that…”
“Of course. I think we should go to a place where we can interrogate.”
“Let me guide you.”

So I followed the officer with the water tank while holding back the soldiers who said they would help.

*           *

“Name. Kurtak.”
“…Yes.”
“You said you tried to attack me under orders? Then what is your superior doing? A soldier? Or a tribal leader?”

The interrogation began with familiarity.

This was a run-down cabin near the shore. A place that is so remote that it is out of the destruction range of the sea god. There, I interrogated him with an officer.

When I asked, he answered, and the officer took notes.

“The siren gave the order… And the command was given by our captain…”

The mermaid answered calmly as I asked.

I heard stories like that.

Roughly speaking, it seemed that mermaids were also social creatures and had a state. The country is governed by prophetic mermaids called sirens. These mermaid nations vary in size, but Kurtak’s nation is said to consist of approximately 2,000 mermaids. There, he received orders from the Sirens and organized a special force to attack me.

“Great.”

If you specifically attacked me, it means that my information went to the mermaid side. If my information leaked, it must mean that I was doing reconnaissance or spying.

It seems to be very important to me.

Why?

Among those who killed the sea god, I came to the beach the most. Other than that, there’s nothing else I can think of.

“That huge monster that attacked our land this time. It’s called the Sea God. What the hell is that?”
“That… Well… I don’t know. I just know it as a monster called Triton…”
“Triton? Are there many of them?”
“I don’t even know…”

Don’t you know the details?
You’ll find out if you do the interrogation.

“Don’t lie, mermaid!!”

Then the officer shouted.

“Calm down first. There’s a lot of interrogation time.”
“…Yes.”

For about two hours, he interrogated him, asking him everything he knew. I don’t think that one kid like this knows everything. It is true.

If I kidnapped an ordinary soldier and extracted information, nothing important would come out. Just common sense. Social structure. Command received. The size of his troops. I only know this.

And those facts must have already been figured out by this side.

Still, interrogation is essential if you want to save something.

“If you listen to what you say, you sound like a low-ranking soldier… “

The officer who was recording the details of the interrogation in the document said so. I am feeling exactly that way too.

“Good. Officer.”

But the important thing is to start now.

I looked at the interrogation details recorded over several chapters.
A lot of data has accumulated.

What about this

“Listen.”
“Yes.”

I whispered in the officer’s ear.

“Please accompany the advisor and ask the same questions as I asked. Arbitrarily change the order. If anything is wrong with what you have written, please check all of them. If you repeat it several times, you will be able to determine the truth .”
“All right.”

Like a man who had served in the military for a long time, the officer immediately answered whether he knew how to interrogate properly.

“Please do not seriously injure or kill.”
“Okay. Leave it to me.”

Came out like that
Now, I just need to summarize the contents of the interrogation.
