LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 107: Balance
The tears of a mermaid transform into pearls, a phenomenon that has earned them the name "Mermaid’s Tears."
Legends abound regarding the Mermaid’s Tears, yet no one anticipated that they would come across one so easily today.
【 Mermaid’s Tear 】
Rarity: Rare
Category: Special
Attribute: The tears of a mermaid can speak. When held in the mouth, it grants the ability to breathe underwater, making the ocean no longer reject you. Consuming it will cause a special transformation in your body, permanently increasing the favorability with oceanic monsters to 5.
The mermaid watched with pride as the human ceased their attack, knowing that no one could resist.
Athena had no reason to refuse; after all, why pass up a free opportunity? She set her bow and arrows by her side. “Throw it over.”
The mermaid flicked her tail and shook her head. “No, rabbit. You must give it to me.”
Contrary to what she had imagined, an arrow streaked through the air towards her, which she hastily blocked with a wave. She turned to Athena with disbelief, unable to understand why the human would attack her.
"To go back on your word!" The mermaid was incensed. She had given her tears to this human, and now they were attacking her in return!
With a full draw of her bow, Athena looked at the mermaid's angry eyes, feeling utterly perplexed.
“It's a gift. Throw it over.” Confirming that the mermaid could not attack her and that her shelter was safe from being sunk, Athena assessed that the only remaining danger was the potential discomfort of swaying left and right, like seasickness.
She didn’t understand why the mermaid wanted the grassball, but it was probably the idea of that musical dolphin. Regardless of whether it was the Mermaid’s Tears or even if the dolphin offered her meat, she would not agree.
The mermaid’s strength was not as formidable as Athena had imagined. In fact, the mermaid seemed somewhat foolish. If it weren’t for the undeniable aura surrounding her, Athena might have thought of her as nothing more than a silly fish.
In the vast ocean, the shelter stood in defiance against the mermaid. Enormous waves repeatedly attempted to submerge the shelter but were completely ineffective.
Ilinaya was a member of the mermaid royal family, though she was of little importance. Despite the vastness of the mermaid race and their large population, with nearly a thousand royal members, her standing was not high.
However, due to her innate abilities in the ocean, even though she was a minor royal, she held considerable sway beneath the waves.
The musical dolphin, due to her presence, was highly respected in the ocean. Those who offended it would face her retribution.
Unfortunately, due to her low status, she was not permitted to come ashore, especially given the current state of conflict between darkness and daylight.
The opportunity to come from the Black Lands to the battlefield was something she had fought for, and she even sent her most beloved musical dolphin to make an early arrival through the special summoning of the Silver Lake Dolphin.
