Desperate World

BOOOOOOM!

A loud explosion just rang at the front of the golden palace. It was so powerful that it sends powerful shockwaves all over the area.

"You have to get over my dead body first!" Donna stood in front of the Golden Palace gates. She was covered in wounds and her complexion is slowly dark. A sign of poison slowly corroding her body. Her beautiful scales are also covered in wounds while her huge red-tails emanated a powerful vibe.

She is currently facing one of the three glutton Thagdas who have come with hostile intentions against her people.

ROOOAR!

"Stop resisting little fish! Your life is already decided the moment you got hit by my poisoned thorns!" The firstborn Thagda bellowed in return as he slowly raised himself back from being splat on the ground with the mermaid princess's tail slam.

Thanks to his extraordinary healing ability brought by the Dragon blood, he was able to tank most of Donna's attack no matter how powerful they were.

Ziiiing~

Even larger blackthorns spurted out from the first-born's body. His eyes glaring with greedy intent ready to rip the little princess into pieces.

"Very well. I shall enjoy every single bite from your little fish body." And like a flash, the Thagda's thorn moved forward, ready to skew Donna in her stomach.

SWOOOSH!~

SMASH!

Fortunately, Donna still managed to dodge the charge attack of the Thagda and she even managed to follow a quick attack with her now-massive red tail that sent the Thagda a good distance away -planting him real deep in the white sand.

"Well done princess!"

"We can do this! Go, Princess Donna!"

"Send that ugly creature out of our kingdom!"

The merfolks hiding inside the Golden Cave cheered for the princesses as they could see the battle unfolding outside using a huge magical transparent pearl called Pawa. It was a magical artifact created by the late King Mahar for survailance purposes to keep the whole Kingdom safe as well. As long as there is water, the magical transparent pearl will be able to show the scene as clear as a day.

It's the only downside is its limited distance that is only capable of surveying areas within ten kilometers from the Golden palace. However, with distance, it was still enough to give them enough time to prepare for anything to come. The only way that the Pawa's distance coverage can be increased is that if a Lord of the Water realm will use his power to embue the magical artifact. With such a boost, watching all over the world of the water realm is as easy as a piece of cake.

If only Dash was there, finding Elric should have been done in no time, however, if it was not for Dash's quick intervention at the entrance of the water realm, more soldiers and innocent merfolks could have died from the intruder's merciless slaughter.

Wuhu-uhu-uhu!

Black blood started to spew out of her small mouth of Donna as the overexertion of her power caused the poison to accelerate its effects against her body.

"I can do this! I will risk my life if I have to!" Determined to defend her kingdom, Donna charged straight to the knocked Thagda. Determination burned her eyes as she braced herself on dying any moments now. Her pet whale is currently unconscious from sustaining too much damage earlier as it tried to protect her a while ago. The poison has also gone to its system and the big fish is now incapacitated.

Right now, Donna could only stand for herself. She is determined to hold the abomination before her with everything she got. Or else, countless lives of the innocent merfolks would be mercilessly ground in this hideous creature's mouth.

"Father. Help us. Human, where are you?" She murmured with pleading in her mind.

***

On the other side of the Golden Palace, just two kilometers away from the Golden Cave, another battle is currently happening. Danna, the oldest of the three royal mermaid princess is having the duel of her life fighting the third-born Thagda.

"Yeah!"

SLAAM!

ROOOAR!

BAANG!

Unlike Donna who happens to be covered in wounds, Danna on the other side seems to fare better against her enemy. Although it was not to the point that she held the advantage, she was still at least managed to make her enemy eat the sand bottom for how many times. Not to mention, their enemy is not a natural-born of the water and she, as a mermaid princess held the better ground in terms of agility and terrain advantage.

"You..." The second-born Thagda stood up from being knocked multiple times. his eyes emanated incredible hatred against the beautiful mermaid above him.

The mermaid princess had been flailing him around with her supernatural water attacks and the disparity of their speed has greatly put him in a constant defensive position. Not to mention, her mermaid's gigantic had been distracting him with its almost invisible stinging tentacles that are strong enough to temporarily stun him, giving the mermaid princess to struck him with full force.

ROOOOAR!

SLAAM!

With another tail attack from Danna that left countless craters on the surface, the second-born was forced to back quite a good distance just to recover himself.

Swoosh!~

BOOOOM!

Suddenly, a powerful shock wave can be heard from the direction of the Golden Cave. He scanned the area only to find the third-born who is also currently trying its best to fight against the thousands of golden armored soldiers of the water realm.

Unlike the first and second-born Thagdas, the third one managed to slip between the mermaid princesses and was just about to barge into the golden cave where the scent of thousands of merfolks came from.

However, he was stopped midway by a magical water barrier that seems to knock him away, ultimately stunning him for a while. The impact of his charge was the reason for the defeaning shock wave just seconds ago.

Unfortunately, the Thagda's charge was just too powerful that it caused the magical barrier to shatter and prompted the last force of defense composed of golden armored soldiers to launch their decisive attack.

Just as the third born was about to recover and force his way again, thousands of golden armored soldiers appeared out of nowhere and landed an assault to the stunned glutton Thagda.

"AAhhhh!"

"For the kingdom of the water realm!"

"For King Mahar!"

Soldiers wielding golden tri-tipped spears, swords, and shields charged their way towards the third-born Thagda, and the latter hurriedly pushed its recovery ability and fought back against the soldiers by releasing its poisonous mist.

This resulted in another bloody mess as the soldiers desperately searched for their target. Quickly, their numbers dwindled as they succumb to the power of the most poison.

ROOOAR!

"You think you can stop me!? Foolish fishes!" The Thagda roared as he sent his thorns piercing towards the group of incoming soldiers.

Shuk!~

Shuk!~

Shuk!~

"Stop the thorns!"

AAAH!

"It's no use, the black mist is melting my skin!"

AAH!

"Raise your shields!"

"It's not working! The thorn and mist were strong enough to melt even the golden shields!"

"Let's use the opening when he throws another attack. Spear bearer get ready!"

"Fight! Even if every bit of our bones melts, defend till we all drop!"

"Fight back! Fight Back!"
