It was the closest island to Hais Island 5.

�Umm, excuse me, young master-nim.�

Vice Captain Hilsman cautiously started to speak. Cale motioned for him to continue.

�Didn�t you say that we will be fighting against the Mermaids? Aren�t the Whales currently fighting against the Mermaids?�

�Yes.�

Hilsman was very serious, unlike his usual goofy self. It was because he knew Ron�s life was on the line. Cale continued to observe Hilsman as he recalled what his father had said.

�Whether he is an assassin or not, he is still one of my people. Save him. It will not be too late to worry about it after you save his life.�

Other people may think that Count Deruth was saving just another servant and wonder why he would spend so much effort. However, it was because Ron had watched over Cale for over ten years while Cale shunned the rest of his family. He was thinking more as a father than as the Count.

�Young master-nim, will we be okay? I heard that the Mermaids are creatures of the dark and are currently stronger due to the dead mana and poison.�

Hilsman was worried about their darkness attribute and the dead mana.

Rosalyn answered the question instead of Cale.

�We will be fine. Young master Cale knows how to cure the mermaid poison and we just need to oppress the dead mana with an even stronger power.�

The usual strategy when fighting against creatures of the dark that use dead mana was to oppress them with a single attack in order to limit the amount of battle time.

They needed to use a stronger mana or aura, or even a very strong attack in order to suppress the dead mana.

And there was a power that was extremely strong against dead mana.

Cale knew about that power.

Life.

�There is a stupid method that would work very well against it.�

It was actually pretty simple.

Living beings were stronger than the dead. There was something that most accurately proved that something was alive.

Rosalyn started to speak.

�Of course, it is most effective to use blood when fighting against creatures of the dark that use dead mana, but that is dangerous.�

Yes, blood.

And they would need quite a lot of blood. JrNovels.com
