Chapter 574 - 242: Journey to the Great Vortex
Chapter 574: Chapter 242: Journey to the Great Vortex
Accompanied by a dull thud, the burly Large Merfolk and several of his companions were knocked back, utterly unable to resist!
Witnessing this scene, the remaining small Merfolk were aghast.
In the chaos, some brave small Sea Race members decided to rise up against.
"Pointless struggle!" David shouted fiercely.
Mobilizing his inner strength once again, he released an amount of Absolute Energy from the center of his body.
This energy turned into a massive wave, crashing rapidly toward those small Sea Race members, pulling them into the vortex one after another and forcing them out of battle!
Observing the imminent threat approaching, a determined flash appeared in the Large Merfolk’s eyes.
He roared furiously, charging at David with all his might, accompanied by a small wave intent on swallowing the Sea Dragon ahead!
"Water Elemental Spirit."
"Sea God Bloodline, Sea God Domain."
David directly triggered the power of the Water Element Mark.
This granted him immense fighting strength within the sea and absolute control over Water Elemental Power.
At that moment, his entire body radiated dazzling blue light, and a powerful water flow aura instantly formed around him.
As the energy surged, it spread outward like ripples, enveloping everything nearby under its control.
The Large Merfolk’s attack was immediately blocked by this energy.
Though his punch was fierce, it seemed utterly pale beneath the Sea God Domain.
He felt an increasing intangible pressure, as if in the Abyss, with each attack attempt being countered by that strong water flow.
Moreover, they were horrified to find that they, as the Sea Race, had lost control over the Water Elemental Power!
"Keep attacking! We can’t let him succeed!" the leading Large Merfolk struggled to launch another assault.
The small Merfolk around him also joined in the offensive, weaving various magic spells and water flows into a violent blue tide.
Yet everything they unleashed seemed incapable of shaking the defenses created by David.
"Want to keep resisting?" David said coldly.
Then he mobilized long-dormant power within him, transforming it into a strong vortex and throwing it at those small Merfolk.
The vortex, like a predator, engulfed all the small Merfolk encountered along its path.
They struggled desperately, but couldn’t escape the absolute binding of the violent wave, only watching helplessly as they were gradually consumed.
Seeing his companions fall into despair one by one, the Large Merfolk felt a mix of anger and hopelessness, yet remained helpless.
The opponent’s power was overwhelming; even when all of them joined forces, they were not a match.
"Surrender, or die!" David said in a deep voice.
His figure flickered in the water with dazzling blue light, as if he had become the embodiment of the Sea God.
The Large Merfolk felt an intangible pressure at that moment, as if being in the Abyss.
They were filled with fear and despair against such a powerful opponent.
The courage and determination in the fight dwindled before the power David displayed.
Watching those companions being swept into the vortex, they knew they would face annihilation if they didn’t surrender soon.
The leading Large Merfolk raised his head with difficulty, his expression complex.
His body still felt the powerful aura from David, "We... we are willing to surrender."
His voice was deep and choked; after experiencing absolute suppression, this once proud warrior finally chose to compromise.
David nodded satisfied, reclaiming the water vortex around them, allowing those small Merfolk engulfed to slowly emerge to the surface.
Then, he directly mobilized Spiritual Power to transform into a Spirit Contract, forcibly signing a Spirit Contract with the Merfolk Race, making them his slaves.
Witnessing this, the Large Merfolk felt unwilling yet understood this was a necessary choice for the survival of their race.
"Very well," David said, expressing satisfaction.
"From now on, you must tell me all the secrets of this marine area."
"I need information about the Great Vortex, and everything your race knows about the past and legends."
The leading Large Merfolk knew there was no longer room to resist and could only accept this order, "Understood, we will do our best to assist you."
Not long after, David learned everything he wanted to know.
Unfortunately, he didn’t gain much about the Sea God’s inheritance, though he acquired plenty of information regarding the Great Vortex.
David still needed to continue to the Great Vortex next.
He commanded the Merfolk Race to keep collecting resources underwater and gather information within the Sea Race, while he continued advancing toward the Great Vortex.
Whenever he closed his eyes, the sea chart of the Endless Sea would appear in his mind, allowing him to accurately identify his location.
This made his actions easier, heading toward the Great Vortex.
As David focused entirely on moving forward, his keen senses suddenly detected some unusual disturbances.
The flow of seawater seemed to carry a peculiar rhythm, a pattern different from natural waves, which David immediately realized was the Sea Race.
However, he was puzzled that two Sea Race factions were actually in battle, one being the Whale Race, the other the Shark Race.
And it appeared the Whale Race was escorting something, being robbed by the Shark Race, initiating the battle between them.
This made David think of Sea Race pirates, a group of marauders roaming the Endless Sea, living off the sea, thriving on plunder.
David hid within the dark currents, observing the sudden Sea Race battle.
The Whale Race was known for their massive bodies and gentle demeanor, while the Shark Race was notorious for their ferocity and predatory nature.
Now, these two forces clashed in the deep sea, igniting an intense battle.
The Whale Race was clearly escorting some important items or individuals, their formation tight, movements coordinated, attempting to pass through this dangerous water area with minimal losses.
Meanwhile, the Shark Race resembled a pack of hungry hunters, swiftly swimming, seeking weaknesses in the Whale Race, trying to breach their defenses.
David saw some Whale Race members beginning to use their unique sonic attacks, a powerful shock wave disseminating through water, able to harm the Shark Race.
Yet the Shark Race wasn’t to be outdone; using their sharp teeth and agile posture, they tried to engage the Whale Race in close combat.
The battle escalated, the water permeated with the scent of blood, both sides had injured members, yet none showed signs of backing down.
"The Whale Race should belong to the gentle Sea Race."
"In this Sea Race and Wizard war, the Whale Race didn’t participate either."
David pondered silently.
The ocean was divided into numerous powers and factions.
Even the Royal Family was divided into several, with complex and intertwined powers.
Thinking it through, David decided to help the Whale Race, pirates whether Wizards or Sea Race, surely represented the evil side, and eliminating them shouldn’t be wrong.
Besides, as he planned to proceed past the Great Vortex, he might learn some information about it from the Whale Race; these big fellows might be helpful.
David stealthily approached the battlefield, his silhouette nearly invisible in the water, only those with acute vision could catch the trajectory of his swift movements.
Subsequently, he conjured the Bloodline Power of the Sea Dragon Race, summoning a strong waterflow, which surged toward the Shark Race like a massive wave.
The sharks were thrown in disarray by the sudden water flow, their formation chaotic.
The Whale Race seized the opportunity to adjust their formation, their massive bodies began rhythmically swaying, emitting deep sound waves, calling for their companions.
Though the Shark Race was somewhat disorganized by the water flow, they quickly regained fighting status.
Several leading sharks began organizing a counterattack, using their speed and sharp teeth, trying to breach the Whale Race’s defense again.
