Demon King Priest

Chapter 47: The Princess's Vow

In the deep sea thousands of kilometers away from the continent, there was a beautiful race that only existed in human legends - Merpeople. Both men and women of this race had incomparably beautiful faces and could sing beautiful songs. Among them, the female merpeople was a dream lover that all men on the continent dream of. This was due to a poignant fairy tale called "The Daughter of the Sea" written by a fairy tale writer named Andersen hundreds of years ago. The sad fate of that beautiful merpeople princess touched almost everyone. In that story, the prince became the object of hatred by all men.

But in fact, that Andersen had never seen merpeople before at all, because merpeople lived in the deep sea thousands of kilometers away from the continent, and only a few merpeople occasionally showed up in places hundreds of kilometers away from the coastline. So human ships could occasionally see these deep-sea fairies once in a while. On average, maybe once every few decades. Since no one could come up with evidence that merpeople actually existed, merpeople were called a race that only existed in legends.

And now this legendary race's gathering place - Sea King Palace was holding a carnival banquet, and the loud and cheerful shouts almost overturned the roof of the palace.

"What's going on!" A beautiful girl who had been sleeping was awakened by the noise. This was a beautiful girl about twenty years old with stunning looks. She had smooth blue hair the same color as the sea, clear agate eyes, a very small nose, and beautiful skin that was fine and slightly pink like a shell. A string of agate headdresses on her head showed that her identity was absolutely extraordinary, because among merpeople, only the royal family had the right to wear agate headdresses.

With the sound of "ding!", she shook the crystal bell next to the bed, planning to find a maid to ask what happened outside. In her memory, Sea King Palace had never been so noisy.

"Princess Tina! Are you awake!" A female mermaid swam in quickly from the door.

"Rafa! What's with this noise?" the merpeople princess named Tina asked curiously.

"Ah! Princess, don't you know! This is shocking news! The demon of the abyss has been wiped out! From now on, we no longer have to live with fear." The maid named Rafa said excitedly.

"What! The abyss demon was wiped out! Did Poseidon do it!" Hearing this news, Tina was also very excited. Since the huge abyssal demon appeared in this sea a year ago, merpeople had lived a precarious life, and there was news of their people being swallowed by that demon almost every day. Although merpeople had a natural advantage in the water, and almost every merperson that had a power of level four to six, their strength was simply no match for the overwhelming power of that demon.

"No, it seems that the abyss demon was not killed by Lord Poseidon. I don't know the details. But you can ask His Majesty the king. He is at the banquet!" Rafa shook her head.

"I'm going to ask my father now!" After saying this, Tina swam quickly in the direction of the banquet hall.

"Father! Can you tell me which one of our people eliminated the abyss demon!" Among the large group of drunk merpeople, Tina searched for a long time before finding her father.

"Uh! It's Tina... Tina! Good, come, you also have a drink... Today is the carnival day of our merpeople! Come, let us give a toast to that damn big octopus, and hope it goes to hell." Her father was already drunk, and he couldn't speak well.

"Father! I'm asking which one of our people killed the demon!" Tina was dumbfounded when she saw that her normally stable father was so drunk.

"Ah! That... that's not... our people. We don't have anyone who can defeat that dead octopus! Even Poseidon can barely retreat. Judging from the information from other sea creatures, it was three humans who defeated the big octopus, two of whom had already died in the battle with the big octopus, and the one who wiped out the big octopus completely was a young strong man with a black halo on his body. His Phantasm was a dark red giant sword, and the sword had a strange eye in its guard. I really want to thank them!" The drunk sea king still replied to the question of his baby daughter.

"Then, where is that young strong man now!" Tina asked eagerly.

"Uh! I don't know about this! The big ship he was on has already sunk! But with his power to destroy the big octopus, it is probably not difficult for him to return to the continent. He is so young, but he actually possesses such great power, so he must be famous on the continent!" After that, the Sea King began to drink again.

"Really! Has he returned to the continent!? And he is famous on the continent!" Tina repeated these words and swam back to her room.

After returning to the room, she began to pray to the sea god in the corner of the room.

"Great God of the Sea! Thank you for hearing my prayers and sending the hero to destroy the abyssal demon! I, Tina, the princess of merpeople, will now fulfill the vow I made when I prayed to you..."The voice of the princess was very low, so no one except Tina could hear them clearly.

The next day, the merpeople discovered with horror that their beloved princess had disappeared from the Sea King Palace, leaving only a note saying "Don't look for me".

"My lord! Where did Princess Tina go!" The one who said this was a handsome male merperson with long blond hair. He was the number one fighter of merpeople, Poseidon, whose Phantasm was Sea King Trident. He was also Tina's most ardent suitor. He was also the only fighter of merpeople who had safely retreated from the battle with the big octopus.

"Tina. She is probably going to the continent to find the young strong man who wiped out the big octopus!" Thinking about Tina's question last night, the Sea King smiled bitterly.

"How can you let the poor princess go to such a dangerous land alone! I need to find her quickly and persuade her to come back!" Poseidon quickly swam out of the palace.

"Alas, young people nowadays." the Sea King didn't worry much about his daughter, because even though Tina was only a hundred years old (the life of a merperson was about five times that of a human being, a hundred was equivalent to a human's twenty years old). She was already a Level seven master with a Phantasm.

At the same time, somewhere on the bottom of the sea, a black figure roared loudly, "Who! Who killed the big octopus that took me decades to make! That was the most stunning masterpiece of my life! Which bastard did this to me! Don't let me know who you are! Otherwise, I will break you into pieces!"
