Fisher and Moli had just settled down when Blake in front of them wasted no time. His right hand dragged the giant sword forward while he raised the musket in his other hand, aiming it at Fisher and Moli.
Seeing Blake fire unscrupulously, Fisher grabbed Moli’s shoulder and pulled her back.
The walls of the surrounding treasury were continuously seeping a large amount of groundwater. Although the ground had already cracked noticeably due to the monster that had emerged, the water level quickly reached Fisher’s knees. It wouldn’t be surprising if the entire treasury were completely submerged if they waited any longer.
Although Moli’s consciousness had mostly recovered, her pupils still visibly swirled with a massive amount of black water. Her originally beautiful blue hair had not reverted and remained ink-black.
She was still angry, but this time, the executioner of revenge had to be her.
In the water, Moli twisted her body furiously and ran towards Blake. Fisher also raised his Fluid Sword and followed behind Moli.
"What great courage, Fisher Benavides, let me see how the man favored by Elizabeth differs from me back in the day," Blake said.
Blake’s aged face flickered with Thunder Light. As Moli attacked, he resisted with both hands on his Heavy Sword, allowing Moli’s assault to fall upon the rusty iron sword. With a loud shout, he then beautifully pivoted, turning to deflect Moli’s force into his next attack on Fisher.
Strangely, during his attack on Moli, the Thunder Light on Blake slowly extinguished, but when facing Fisher, the Thunder Light burst forth as if desperate.
Bare-chested, Fisher was immensely pained due to Moli’s earlier extraction of Life Energy, but it seemed that pain made his body more excited and agile.
Noticing the change in the Thunder Light, Fisher’s expression shifted slightly. His body and Fluid Sword split in two directions: one to dodge the Heavy Sword and the other to strike at Blake’s head. As expected, that attack was once again blocked by Mu Xi’s Blessing.
Fisher suddenly understood something as he observed the subtle changes in the Thunder Light; his gaze fell on the peaceful sleeping face of Mu Xi at the chest of Blake.
The Whale-man Species, whether granting a Blessing or a curse, manipulated it through their emotions, much like the flow of water. Even though Blake had implanted Mu Xi’s flesh, he shouldn’t have been able to use it.
And now, why did the Thunder Light automatically weaken when attacking Moli?
Did that mean Mu Xi’s consciousness still existed within Blake?
And at this moment, was she still willingly protecting Blake with her Blessing?
Fisher quickly moved past Blake to reach Moli. Moli was gritting her teeth, intending to move forward, but Fisher grabbed her shoulders, stopping her,
"Moli, your aunt still has consciousness; otherwise, her Blessing wouldn’t appear on Blake. She’s willingly protecting him..."
"Why?! He’s a damned Demon!"
"Moli, calm down. Blake will receive his deserved punishment, but before that, we need Mu Xi to stop protecting Blake so that his defense fails. Leave it to me; I need your help."
Moli bit her teeth, looked at Fisher, and hesitated for a second before nodding.
After this round of combat, Blake looked at the flickering Thunder behind him and chuckled knowingly. Then, his eyes, sharp as ever, focused directly on Moli,
"Your aunt rarely mentioned the conditions at the Sea Floor to me. Even when I discovered her true identity, it had already been a long time. If not for your letter, I wouldn’t have known other members of the Whale-man Species came ashore..."
"Only at this moment, I realize, your aunt and you are nothing alike. Mu Xi was cheerful and passionate, kind and courageous, while you are just a coward who hides behind men."
The black water in Moli’s eyes started swirling again, and she pointed angrily at Blake, shouting,
Fisher’s gaze shifted slightly, and before Moli could act, he had already dashed toward Blake. After some time of coordination, the symbiosis between the Fluid Sword and Fisher had become very harmonized, and the weapon from the Ocean was manipulated as effortlessly as an extra hand by him.
"Do you think you have the rights to mention her aunt in front of Moli?"
The Fluid Sword was struck by the giant sword, but in the next moment, it transformed into a circular ring tight around Blake’s giant sword. His giant sword, a relic, had no specific effect other than reducing its weight, which made Fisher feel its lightness as he now controlled the sword.
In Blake’s aged face, his deep-set eyes ignited with rage from the remark,
"I’m not worthy? I dedicated my life, everything, my emotions all selflessly given to Mu Xi! I could forsake all worldly power; the exploration company invited me time and again to join their board meetings to strategize, I had countless opportunities to command numerous human ships to explore farther places. Rather than in my youth, when I sailed unknown dangers with a wooden boat whose engine always loved to fail!"
