“Sif, Is that you ?” Neridia asked with a confused expression as she swam out of the ship.

“M-My Q-QUEEN ? Y-You are… Alive !? Oh my God…” Sif spoke as she immediately swam towards Neridia and hugged her tightly.

“Oh, thank you gods of seven seas… It’s really you, Sif. I thought you died…” Neridia spoke as she started crying.

“Me too, My Queen. I thought you died when those dark minions attacked the Royal castle. I thank all the gods that watch over you, My Queen.” Sif spoke.

“You don’t know, How happy I am to see you, Sif.” Neridia spoke as she hugged Sif again.

“My Queen, Me too. I am happy as well…” Sif spoke as she started crying as well.

“Well, Well… That’s one heart warming reunion, but you were coming towards the ship in a hurry and you were shouting, ‘Help, Help.’ What was all that about ?” Anon asked with a neutral expression.

Sif slowly seperated herself from Neridia and wiped her face.

“Y-Yes… My Queen, we are in need of help. A third-staged dark minion has attacked our ship and my guards are fighting it right now. I thought, I would find some siren and mermaids soldiers on this ship, who can fight with us and bring them back to our ship… So that we can kill that minion.” Sif explained.

“Sif, I don’t think you will be able to find anyone here, Who can fight and-” Before Neridia could’ve completed her sentence, Anon interrupted her.

“Take me there…” Anon spoke.

“What ?” Sif asked with a confused and surprised expression.

“Take me to that minion… Where is your ship ?” Anon spoke as he immediately turned his legs into a pitch black fish’s tail. 𝘦𝑎.𝒸ℴ

“Since when can you do that ?” Neridia asked with a confused and Surprised expression.

“You want to know about this or save your people who are fighting with that Minion ?” Anon asked with a serious expression.

“O-Okay, Take him with you, Sif. He can handle that minion or so I think. You can handle him, right ?” Neridia asked Anon

“I should be able to kill him…” Anon replied with a neutral expression.

“Okay, Come with me now. My Queen, I will definitely return back if we survived.” Sif spoke as she swam upto Anon. .

“Take care, Sif.” Neridia spoke with a smile. Although she is smiling from outside, there is too much stress in Neridia’s mind.

‘Will they return back ? Should I let Sif leave ? I should go with them. No, If I left… Who will look over the mermaids and sirens on this ship. Arggggghhh… This is difficult.’ Neridia thought and after thinking for about 10 seconds she let her go.

“Follow me closely or you will loose my sight in this dark and believe me, You don’t want to get lost in this area of the stormborn ocean.” Sif spoke as she looked behind and noticed that Anon was directly under her.

“Okay…” Anon replied with a serious expression.

“Do you even know, How to fight ?” Sif asked with a confused expression.

“Just a little bit…” Anon replied with a neutral expression.

“Well, A little bit should help. After all you are a human, you should be stronger than us.” Sif replied with a serious expression.

After swimming for about 10 minutes, a thought popped up inside Anon’s mind…

‘How did that minion travelled so much distance in such a short time ?’

“We are here…” Sif spoke as she pointed towards her ship.

Anon immediately looked at the ship and noticed that it was almost destroyed and a giant third-staged minion was destroying the ship, but it wasn’t the same minion that Anon saw back on his ship.

It was even bigger than the one he saw back on the ship.

‘A different Minion… ? How many of these rogue minions are roaming inside this sea ? No, bigger question is… who is making them ?’ Anon wondered as he noticed that some of the mermaids are fighting the dark minion but there attacks aren’t that effective towards the minion and a bunch of them are lying dead in the minion’s legs.

Near the minion…

“Fuckkkkk… What should we do ? This **er is too strong for us.” One of the mermaid shouted.

“How many of us are alive and how have died, Already ?” Another Mermaid asked.

“Ma’am, About 300 are alive and 150 are already dead… Including 13 males.” A mermaid soldier reported.

“Ma’am, Should we run ?”

“No, Madam Sif… Should be coming back at any moment now, with help.” The senior mermaid replied as she continued to fight.

“But Ma’am-” Before the soldier mermaid could’ve completed her sentence, The minion grabbed her by his giant hand and started squeezing her tightly.

“A soldier is in his grab, Ma’am.”

“I know, I am not blind… Attack his hand with full force. We need to get her out of his hand.” The senior mermaid ordered.

“YES, MA’AM.” All of them shouted together as they started attacking the minion’s hand together with their best moves, but the minion’s hand didn’t even flinched and he continued to squeeze the mermaid.

“Am I going to die here ? Is this the end of it all ? Is this how my life’s story ends ?” The mermaid spoke as she felt her bones getting crushed by the minion’s hand.

“We can’t save her… Run away now.” The senior mermaid ordered with a disappointed expression on her face.

All the other mermaids looked at their dying subordinate with a very disappointed expression and felt helpless.

*Thud-Thud-Thud*

Suddenly, something started happening to the minion.

“Hmm…?” The senior mermaid looked at the minion and noticed that his hand was opening by itself and his whole body was moving in a very weird way.

The minion let go of the mermaid he was holding inside his hands and she fell unconscious from sudden pressure release.

“Grabe her… Someone. She is out of that monster’s hand.” The senior mermaid shouted with a wide smile on her face.

The other mermaids immediately went down and grabbed their subordinate.

The minion’s body was being lifted by something, he looked down and noticed that something under his legs is lifting him.

All the mermaids immediately looked down and noticed that a human was standing beneath the minion’s leg, his body covered in a white aura and he was lifting the minion with his left hand’s middle finger as if lifting a small weight.

“It’s been quite a while, since I picked up such a heavy weight.” Anon spoke as he overthrew the minion with just a finger.
