Chapter 36: Tear of Siren, Alchemy Experiment!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“So powerful!” This was the first time Mas had seen the true strength of the royal Naga.

They thought that there would be a tough battle, but they did not expect the two royal Nagas to easily injure the Leader of the Big Murlocs.

Yet this was only the beginning. The cat-and-mouse game had just begun.

The two royal Nagas condensed water cannons again and sprayed it at the Leader of the Big Murlocs.

When the Leader of the Big Murlocs saw this, his eyes flashed with grievance. He wanted to use the Mithril Trident in his hand to continuously defend.

However, even though he managed to defend against one water cannon, another water cannon penetrated his body.

Even though the Leader of the Big Murlocs had the bloodline of a magical beast, he was still unable to endure the three large bloody holes, causing his body to become weak.

At this time, the five Big Murlocs on the other side noticed the abnormality of their leader, and could not be bothered to continue killing, hurriedly coming back to support.

However, they only had the strength of mid-level Level 5, and they were also heavily injured. How could they defeat the Royal Naga whose strength was comparable to an advanced Level 6?

In less than a single minute, five heavily injured Murloc were slaughtered by the royal Naga.

The Leader of the Big Murlocs was also on the verge of death.

Even Siren was subdued by Walter and Harry.

To be precise, the sea demon was very good at singing. When it sensed the presence of two Red Crystal Gargoyles that posed a great threat to its life, it immediately stopped singing.

Just as Mas was about to order the royal Naga to kill the Leader of the Big Murlocs, an ethereal and pleasant female voice entered Mas’s brain. Looking closely, it turned out that the sea demon had spoken.

“I beg you, this human, please don’t kill him!” The sea demon’s ethereal voice was like the sound of nature.

Just one sentence made Mas’ skin crawl and his brain tremble. It was an indescribably wonderful feeling, like the ASMR from his previous life.

“You want me to not kill him? What benefits can you bring me?” Mas looked at the sea demon quietly and said indifferently.

He was not a fat aristocrat who would let her off just because this sea demon looked pitiful. Therefore, he did not take the sea demon’s request to heart at all.

“Because I want to kill him myself!” The sea demon’s ethereal voice echoed in her mind again.

“You?”

Mas looked at the sea demon in shock. He thought that the sea demon would plead for the Leader of the Big Murlocs, but it turned out that he had been wrong all along.

“You want to kill him? Then why did you help him before?” Mas sneered.

He was not a fool. He would not believe her just because of a casual sentence from the sea demon.

“Because he took a fancy to my beauty. In order to take me away, he actually cruelly killed my parents. The reason why I helped him earlier was so that he wouldn’t be killed by others. It was because I wanted to kill him myself one day!”

That pear blossom bathed in rain was so beautiful that one could not tell that it was fake.

The sea demon’s eyes also turned from pure aqua blue to scarlet.

Mas was stunned. He had not expected things to turn out this way. It was completely beyond his expectations.

Mas considered for a moment and nodded slightly. “Sure. The enmity of killing your father is irreconcilable. It’s also a good thing that you can get your revenge now.”

To Mas himself, it did not matter who killed the Leader of the Big Murlocs. What was important was that he could obtain the corpse of the Leader of the Big Murlocs and earn a favor from sea demon Siren for free. To him, it was a good deal.

After hearing Mas’ promise, the beautiful sea demon Siren swam to Mars’ corpse without any regard for its own safety. It strenuously picked up the Level 4 advanced alchemy spear, and its eyes were filled with hatred towards the Leader of the Big Murlocs who was leaning on the Mithril Trident barely breathing.

He stabbed out with all his might.

Hearing the whistling of the wind, the Leader of the Big Murlocs raised his head, wanting to clearly remember who had attacked. When he saw that the thief’s appearance was precisely the lover he had been thinking about, his eyes revealed a look of disbelief. Because of his injured voice, he continuously released hoarse cries.

“I’ve been with you, you bastard. I’ve been trying to kill you all along. This has never changed!”

Then came the sound of a weapon piercing into flesh. The sea demon’s all-out attack was the last straw that crushed the Leader of the Big Murlocs.

The body of the Leader of the Big Murlocs collapsed.

The sea demon released the spear and looked up into the sky, a sad and nostalgic expression on its face.

On her right eye, a teardrop slowly fell to the ground.

The clear sound of water dripping could be heard.

When the memories ended, the sadness on the siren’s face was gone, replaced by determination. She bent down and picked up a sapphire-like crystal from the ground. Her fishtail kept moving as she slowly came to Mas and opened her palm.

“Thank you, benefactor. This is my only repayment to you!” the sea demon said slowly.

Mas trembled as he took the crystal from the sea demon. He was a little dumbfounded. He had obtained this Level 8 alchemy material just like that?

The blue crystal in his hand was a beginner Level 8 alchemy material — the tears of sea demon Siren.

“Sea Demon’s Tear (Level 8): Extremely precious alchemical material. It’s hard to buy even one drop of it even if you spend tens of thousands of gold coins. It can withstand most mental attacks in the world.”

“Hiss, this is really good stuff!” Mas stared blankly at the Sea Demon’s Tear in his hand and sucked in a cold breath.

Resisting most mental attacks in the world was enough to prove the value of the Sea Demon’s Tears.

Just this thing alone was enough to leave 99% of the Mental Spellcasters and Mages in the dust.

After all, these two types of professionals were famous for their mental strength attacks.

Mas looked at the treasure in front of him and stored it in his alchemy space. He looked at the sea demon in front of him and smiled. “Repay one for another. I let you kill the Leader of the Big Murlocs, and you gave me this precious tear. Now, we’re even. You can leave. I hope that in the future, you can sing freely in the sea and not be sad anymore!”

“Walter, Harry, let’s go!” Mas called out after collecting the Mithril Trident and the bodies of the Murloc.

As for the remaining Spear Legion and mercenaries of the Trun Kingdom, Mas decided to ignore them.

He was not a bloodthirsty person, and these people did not have any enmity with him. He could not bear to kill them all for no reason.

Furthermore, they did not even know him. So what if they did? If they dared to offend him, he would not mind killing them!

“Human, can I leave with you?” The sea demon suddenly spoke, catching Mas off guard.

Mas looked surprised at that.

“You want to stay with me forever?” Mas asked.

“Yes, I want to sing for you alone in the future. I want to follow you forever!” The sea demon nodded.

“Of course you can. Welcome to our big family. Hello, I’m Mas!” When Mas heard this, he happily extended his hand towards the sea demon.

“My name is Lilith.” The siren softly revealed her maiden name.

[Sea Demon Lilith’s Loyalty Level has increased to 80]

Mas froze when he heard the familiar prompt.

“That works too?” Mas mused.

Mas looked at the sea demon Lilith in front of him. A virtual panel appeared beside her.

[Lilith]

[Race: Sea Demon]

[Class: Middle Grade Three]

[Skills: Siren’s Song, Spiritual Enchantment]

[Loyalty Level: 80]

“I never expected that I would be able to pick up such a good thing!” Mas was filled with emotions.

“Walter, Harry, you two take a Red Crystal Gargoyle back with you. Let her ride a Red Crystal Gargoyle alone,” Mas instructed.

Walter and Harry, who had always been close, had no complaints about this arrangement.

As the three Red Crystal Gargoyles soared into the sky, the four of them flew towards the Alchemy Tower.

…..

When the four of them arrived at the Alchemy Tower, the sun had already set and it was already close to dusk.

After Mas and the others entered the Alchemy Tower, Mas had the two sisters, Sha Youliya, call them down and get to know Lilith.

However, there was a very difficult problem now.

Lilith was a sea demon after all, so there was nothing wrong with her staying on land for a short period of time.

But she was still a sea demon. If she stayed on land for too long, she would die from thirst and lack of water.

All sea creatures were the same. No matter how strong they were, they had to return to the water every once in a while. This was an unavoidable physiological reaction, or they would die from thirst and dehydration.

However, the Alchemy Tower was extremely lacking in water in this dense and dry forest. Where could he get a water source to supply Lilith?

This was a very troublesome and pressing problem.

“Master Mas, I have an idea. We can dig a huge pit near the Alchemy Tower and use my water magic runes to create rainwater. Then, we can create a magic rune and let the rainwater in the pit continuously cycle and evaporate. Then, we can form a simple pond!” Sha You suggested.

“Will this method work?” Mas, who had never seen it before, asked curiously.

Dig a hole in a dry forest and create a pond that naturally drops water?

This really surprised Mas.

“No problem, Master Mas. I’ve helped someone build a swimming pool like this before!” Sha You smiled.

“Then I’ll leave Lilith’s matter to you, Sha You!” Mas nodded.

As for whether Lilith would be life-threatening outside the Alchemy Tower, this was not something Mas cared about. This was because the Red Crystal Gargoyles patrolling outside were not to be trifled with.

After settling Lilith’s problem, Mas took the teleportation device to the top of the alchemy tower.

Currently, Mas did not intend to refine the corpse of the Leader of the Big Murlocs. After all, it was the corpse of a top-tier Level 6 magical beast. There was still a chance to scam a Level 7 alchemical creature.

And the corpses of nine Level 5 Murloc naturally became Mas’ first choice.

After all, Mas had not finished using the magical crystals and metal frame that Belek had given him previously.

The problem was, Mas realized that he did not have enough alchemy materials.

Now, the only alchemical materials above six stars were the Red Dragon Stone, Hundred-year-old Ice Crystals, Level 6 fire attribute magic crystal, the skull of the behemoth, and the enormous Sting of the Underground Scorpion.

“Looks like I’ll have to ask that fat guy Berek to bring me more Level 5 and Level 6 alchemy materials when I deliver next time,” Mas muttered in his heart.

There was no need to consider the six-star magic crystal for the time being. Big Murloc was an ocean creature, and the water and fire attributes had a huge conflict. In order to match, Mas chose a Level 5 water-type magic crystal.

“The hundred-year-old ice crystal is still there. Why don’t you try it yourself?” Mas looked at the hundred-year-old ice crystal beside his hand and muttered.

After some consideration, he decided to do it.

The ice attribute was more suitable for the water-type Big Murloc. If he added a hundred-year ice crystal, there might be unexpected surprises.

Summoning the Creator’s Alchemy Platform, Mas placed the Big Murloc’s corpse, hundred-year-old ice crystals, Level 5 water-type magic crystals, and Level 4 all-purpose steel frame on the alchemy platform before refining.

Driven by an invisible force, the hundred-year-old ice crystal turned into powder and sank into the Big Murloc’s corpse.

A thick layer of frost appeared on the surface of the Big Murloc’s corpse.

The steel frame fused into the Big Murloc’s corpse, forming new bones.

Finally, the water-type magic crystal adorned the forehead of the Big Murloc.

A cold aura came from the Creator’s Alchemy Platform.

Success!

[Congratulations to the host for successfully refining an advanced Level 5 alchemical creature—Frost Murloc!]

[Congratulations to the host for successfully refining a Level 5 alchemical creature. 50 EXP obtained.]

Mas sighed softly in pity.

“I thought I could successfully craft a Level 6 alchemical creature, but it looks like the level of the all-purpose steel frame is too low.”

If he used a Level 5 metal frame or a Level 6 metal frame, it was highly possible that he could create a Level 6 alchemical creature.

Although it was a pity, Mas did not take it to heart.

Then, he began to check the information of the Frost Murloc.

[Frost Murloc]

[Level: Advanced Level 5]

[Skills: Water Creature, Snow Creature, Ice Skin, Bite, Hard Claws, Ice Needle Attack, Intermediate Power Source]

It had one more ability than the Royal Naga, but the effect still had to be seen in actual combat. It was still uncertain.

“There are only a few alchemy materials left, and their attributes are completely incompatible with the water-type Big Murloc. What should I do?” Mas sighed softly as if he wanted to vent his frustration.

Just as Mas was about to take the remaining eight Big Murloc corpses back into the alchemy space, a bold idea suddenly appeared in his mind, making his eyes light up.

“If I use the corpses of two Big Murloc as alchemy materials, what kind of monsters will I create?!” Mas murmured softly as if he was full of anticipation for the idea to unfold.
