Heavenly Dao Child - Chapter 339

“Charge charge forward!”

“We will not falter hold the line.”

Various cries well more like echo in the water had filled Ryuu’s ears as he watched from behind a rock formation as a group of fish like people fighting against what seemed to be a gigantic octopus.

‘Hmmm, this people seemed to be something akin to be mermaid/mermen from folk lore of my previous life but that beast is a 700 foot big octopus is that the thing called ‘kraken’? now if I help them will they reciprocate in kind? Oh well I will know in a few moment.’

“HIRO!! Look out!!!”, a cry of anguish came from one of those merman as person wearing golden armor and peac.o.c.k green looked at the approaching tentacle with horror in his face, he could not move fast enough but before the tentacle reached him he the creature let out a cry of anguish as the tentacle was cut off.

The battle stop abruptly as a voice spoke drawing their attention towards Ryuu, “I am sorry for crashing the party but do you need any help.”

The person called Hiro nodded as he spoke, “Please bother any form of help is appreciated.”

Ryuu nodded as he dodged a couple of tentacle, strikes easily while he slashed at another tentacle causing a sonic roar to erupt as Ryuu winced at that before he growled in anger, “Damn you takoyaki reject stop trying to rupture my ear drum.”

Ryuu moved with incredible agility as the tentacles tried to ensnare him only for him to slip, the octopus then released a large load of inky black liquid trying to blind Ryuu but he was prepared, while he slashed and cut off the tentacles he had also let a few of them to escape on purpose as it suddenly screamed as Ryuu activated those array which started to boil it alive, as it thrashed Ryuu had already reached it as he swung his blade cleaving the beast in half effectively, it thrashed around for sometime before it finally died causing a cheer to appear from the soldiers.

Hiro swam towards him as he spoke with a grateful tone, “Thank you so much strange creature, you have saved my people and my life from certain death, you have my eternal gratitude.”

Ryuu gave him a small smile as he spoke, “There is no need to thank me anyone in my place would help you.”, as he spoke Ryuu deduced from his interactions with Hiro and his group the person in front of him should be someone high up on the social structure by the way everyone spoke and acted near him.

Ryuu looked around slightly as he spoke while cupping his hand, “My name is Ryuu and if I may be a bold enough to inquire about your identity and ask you where am I? And what was this fight all about?”

Hiro looked at him imitating his gesture but from what Ryuu noticed he was a tad bit clumsy as he spoke with a smile, “My friend my name is Hiro Kymopoleia, Prince of the Holy Brirus Empire, and you are in the ‘Central Rift Ocean’ and as for the creature you killed well we call him them the ‘Children of the Great One’.”, he finished with a wary smile on his face causing Ryuu to tilt his head slightly with confusion, as many had simply flinched upon hearing that.

“Who is this ‘Great One’?”

At his innocent question it seemed as if he had literally plunged the entire area further into the cold abyss, as all others except the Prince flinched at the name.

Hiro scowled at that as he spoke, “The Great one is….”

Ryuu bit into the octopus meat as he spoke while trying to chew the meat, “And that is how I came across them while you were busy meditating, and now we will be moving in to help them.”, he swallowed it as he spoke with a nod of his head, “The meat is delicious and the texture is not bad I had half expected it to be a bit chewy but it turned out nice.”

Zywia looked at the piece of Octopus meat placed in her front of her as Ryuu gave him a grin as he spoke, “This will be the last warm meal you will find, I do not think that they will be able to procure warm mea under water but most importantly I will be placing my vessel in stasis again, I so do not want to draw unwanted attention.”

Zywia bit into the meat as she spoke with a nod, “That is a wise decision but please make sure that it is a viable option for escape if possible.”

Ryuu nodded at that as he spoke, “But of course, I would be unwise if I fail to use it during my time of need, but now let us hurry up and finish eating, I have told them that I was going to search and bring my companion back with me as such if I waste too much time they might feel suspicious.”

Zywia nodded at that in agreement as a few minutes later the duo was standing in front of the prince who welcomed them and was declared as their escort to the ‘City of Pelaloch’.

As Ryuu swam with them he could hear the whisperings of other mermen who were moving around them, to Zywia it was some weird noises but thankfully to because of the powers granted by his Divine body he could easily understand and as he listened to them he almost choked trying to contain his laughter.

“Hey Dylon, what kind of creatures are they, the Great Warrior who helped us looks kind of like us without the breathing organs in his necks, but the ugly one with those globes of meat on his chest what is he?”

“Stop pointing at them and the Great Warrior can hear us so shut up, but still I pity him for having to spend time with someone as ugly as her.”

Ryuu had an amused look on his face as Zywia looked at him with frown she did not know why but had the sudden urge to beat him black and blue as she spoke, “Ryuu is there something funny that you wish to tell me.”

Ryuu shook his head as he spoke, “Huh, what are you talking about.”

Zywia’s eyes narrowed as she spoke, “You have an amused look on your face.”

Ryuu gave him a kind smile as he spoke, “Ah about that I am extremely hyped up to see their city nothing more nothing less.”, what else would he say to her, after all Zywia was beautiful enough to make even the most beautiful supermodels in his previous life look like half starved old woman passed their prime, it would be incredibly rude to convey her what the others were saying but more importantly it also made him wonder what kind of females that this people are accustomed with.

Hiro gestured them forward as they looked at the city which seemed to be dug out of the coral as they neared the city they were greeted by joyous citizens who had already learned of the news.

As they approached the city Hiro looked forward as he spoke with a fond smile, “It seems my sister June came to greet me, she is also the most beautiful woman in the whole empire.”

Ryuu looked at the woman as his eyes widen and his jaw threatens to drop on the floor upon seeing the most beautiful woman of the Holy Brirus Empire.
