Chapter 57: Cutting Grass (3)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

William left.

The remaining things were all thrown to Lautner to settle.

As the precious Lord, he could not let his precious time be taken by small things like that.

That was why on that day…

The Lord of the City of Dawn wore a black cape and stood under the cliff, staring at the endless grass plains. The wind blew softly, making the tall grass and flowers sway, giving a comfortable and pleasant feeling.

William was riding a black horse, heading towards the red skies as the sun set. He tightened his legs as little, as the horse galloped towards the north.

It felt really good to ride quickly, especially when it was the feeling of riding the grass plains he owned. He wasn’t oppressed by the stupid feeling of needing to wait for the traffic lights when driving a sports car.

Both the Iron nation and Black Lava nation were at the north of the plains. The City of Dawn was about 150 kilometers away from the borders of both nations.

As for the grass plains, there were many races living in it, such as Taurens, Vhouls, Goblins, Dwarfs, and small mermen that lived near the lakes.

Actually, no matter when the continents had split apart or when the world had split into different continents…

Amongst the many races in the entire world, the numbers of small mermen were the highest.

This group of small trident wielding people was the most cold-hearted. They were the messiest race that killed everyone they saw. If their opponents were in a small group, they would attack and if the group was big, they would run without any care!

They were also called the New Killers.

When the game was first in open testing, many players liked to go into the wild for adventures at night. All of them were killed by schools of small mermen.

They would appear near lakes, rivers, oceans, every water source. Unless those water sources were occupied by stronger beings, they would be the territory of small mermen.

The sky turned dark.

William moved speedily across the plains on his horse. As he passed by a river, he heard a sharp voice.

Subsequently.

Various shouts continuously sounded.

The various screams congregated together, forming a type of ultrasonic wave, making a person’s head turn dizzy. Within a short time, the sound filled the entire grass plains, making people fear.

The war horse William was on was a little nervous. It had already felt the danger and was running faster and faster.

However.

Pairs and pairs of red eyes had already appeared on both sides of the simple path.

He glanced forward.

He couldn’t see the end!

Half of the world was red eyes, filling the area completely.

The wild riverside at night belonged to the small mermen!

“Woah.” William tugged the ropes and got off the horse decisively, instead of moving forward.

Next, he patted the horse’s butt and the war horse turned around and started running. William chuckled softly. “Run slower, they’re not chasing after you.”

“Little fish, you want to kill me?” William took off his hood and glanced around him coldly.

When several mermen saw his face and ears, they froze, as if not expecting the food in front of them to be an Elf!

However, no one replied to William.

Although small mermen were intelligent beings, their language was extremely complex and hard to learn. Only a small number of mermen had learned the common language on land.

Another scream sounded.

Instantly.

A crazy number of small mermen surrounded William like a flood, all carrying tridents.

Screams, sounds of running, bumping sounds and countless noisy voices entered into William’s head.

Everything in front of him seemed to disappear, covered by the overwhelming mermen…

At that moment the small mermen surrounded him.

William, who had remained frozen, suddenly snapped his fingers.

Bang!

A pale blue force came from all around and hundreds of small mermen suddenly flew away.

If anyone had seen this, they would realize that they were suspended in midair, while their souls were pushed out of their bodies. Apart from a small number of souls returning to their bodies, the rest all turned into ash.

Soul magic!

It’s impossible to guard again.

It was extremely scary.

It was not something that normal magic could compare with.

Especially to this bunch of small mermen, it was a God-like skill.

“Hiss!” A small merman almost 1 meter tall, opened his mouth, showing his sharp teeth. He glared fiercely at the person in front of him. His battle energy sparkled all over him, overwhelming the area.

William narrowed his eyes. Middle-level!

As such, he rushed over in a faster speed. The small mermen only felt a glare appearing before his eyes and everything turned dark. William had already grabbed its head, a strong force ruthlessly throwing him against the floor!

Bang.

The bones were smashed, the brain juice splattering as the small limbs trembled and immediately stopped moving…

Critical attack.

Fatal blow.

2410 points damage.

Target had died.

The advantages that came with an individual’s race was hard to describe. A small merman of the same level was definitely the weakest professional in the entire world. No matter how high their bloodline was, it would be impossible to add too many attributes to themselves…

“Your small body bore an amount of health points you shouldn’t have. Since you can have 2410 health points, you shouldn’t have to be afraid of exploding, but it’s a pity that you only have a high bloodline.” William pursed his lips.

Specializing wasn’t only about challenging opponents of higher levels, there were other types as well.

Challenging opponents of a higher level wasn’t the most common but wasn’t the rarest either.

Then, what would new players fight?

They would usually accept assassination missions or find a human NPC of a higher level to fight.

However…

Humans…

No matter what bloodline level they were, they would usually live in the cities, so after the players killed the NPCs, they would usually be beaten to death by the other people.

Players can revive.

William could not, so he had chosen a simpler option.

He was going to personally take on a mermen tribe with at least thousands of mermen.

As long as his luck wasn’t too bad, he would definitely be able to kill three middle-level mermen with Grandmaster bloodline. Even Epic-level mermen were useless mermen.

He wasn’t able to frighten this group of mermen with just two moves.

They knew their own abilities. Every time they attacked their food mid-journey, they would have a large number of casualties. However, their birthrate and growing rate were even faster!

If it wasn’t because their average capability was too low, small mermen would be able to conquer the entire universe…

Group after group of small mermen fiercely rushed towards William, grasping their weapons tightly. They didn’t care if they left wounds on him, it was fine even if they could crawl on his back and bite him.

However, William’s battle energy shield was as strong as a rock.

He was like a firefly in the dark, catching all attention as merman after merman rushed over, but were all thrown back by the battle energy shield one after another.

Because the feeling of hitting the shield was like hitting a wall, the mermen felt dizzy after being thrown back.

“You can’t even break the shield. Indeed, it seems too much for a Legendary Elf to torture small mermen.” William held his swords in both hands, putting battle energy on his blades before he started turning rapidly.

Windmill!

It was a self-made skill.

There wasn’t any additional skill.

It used the person’s turning speed only…

Such a simple skill behaved like a chopper, the best part of it was that it was so simple to break the backs of the corpses and make blood flow like a river.

“Kill!”

“Bang.” William turned around and used the short blade to defend himself. His body remained unmoved and the small merman that shouted ‘kill’ was thrown away by the energy of his attack, immediately disappearing into the Fish Ocean.

However, very quickly, William saw the 1.5-meter tall small merman. Its small body was covered in muscles.

“Tsk tsk, that’s a muscular fish.”

Just one blow.

He was able to get this merman’s details.

He was middle-leveled with grandmaster bloodline.

“You want to run? No…” William knew the small mermen very well, knowing that this small thing would attack once more. That was why he continued to use his double blades and continued to kill the other small mermen.

These small mermen could not break his shield, he had too much battle energy and stamina.

That was why, after William had easily killed a few waves of mermen, that small merman attacked him once more.

However, William had already tightened his guard and just turned around and pierced through him.

The blade pierced through the small merman’s body, the energy from the swing pushing behind and blood filled the area. The other small mermen behind were killed immediately.

The attacking trident also broke through the battle energy shield and brushed past William’s neck.

However, although William killed the small merman with grandmaster bloodline, his shield took a good 1200 battle energy points and was broken. He needed at least 5 seconds to reopen his battle energy shield.

Instantly.

Countless small mermen immediately pounced on him, swarmed over him, and formed a small mountain.
