Chapter 934: The War Princess Of The Sea [Part 2]



"How beautiful," Prince Baltic muttered as he gazed at Illumina's heroic visage.

He was shocked by the power she showed everyone, but soon, this shock was replaced by admiration and infatuation.

The Naga Prince wasn't the least bit worried about the outcome of this battle. With King Oceanus leading them, there was no need to fear anything.

No matter how powerful Illumina was, just she alone couldn't change the tides of war. The moment she fell, the Kingdom of Saphirus would crumble like a sandcastle hit by a mighty

wave.

Because he was focusing on the Mermaid Princess' beauty, he didn't notice that the soldiers serving as their vanguard had subconsciously taken a step back due to fright.

However, this didn't escape the eyes of Princess Ariel and the other Generals who were leading their respective armies.

“All Magic Cannons and Siege Weapons, prepare to use Wave Tactics!" Princess Ariel ordered. "Prepare to fire at my signal!"

"Ready!"

"Fire!"

Unlike the first time, the magic cannons and the siege weapons didn't fire at the same time. They were unleashed in intervals, making it hard to predict the order and timing of when their attacks would land on the city.

'I don't believe you can defend against this kind of assault,' Princess Ariel sneered.

Illumina, who stood above the City Wall, spread both of her arms wide.

Countless Water Balls the size of basketballs appeared around her.

These Water Balls then shot out beams of water in quick succession, acting like turrets that had independent wills.

Unfortunately, just like Princess Ariel expected, Illumina hadn't been able to block all the attacks. Some of the projectiles smashed into the city wall.

However, despite the fact that the Kingdom of Saphirus was an Ancient City, its walls were protected by countless runic formations, tanking the bombardment that Illumina had missed.

Several minutes later, the bombardment finally stopped.

A smirk appeared on Princess Ariel's face when she saw that several massive cracks had appeared on the city walls.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

But before she could even feel happy about the wall's imminent destruction, a green glow flashed across the walls, repairing all the damages that it had received earlier.

Cheers spread within the Kingdom of Saphirus as they praised their Princess for her overwhelming might.

Despite the fact that Illumina's face remained calm on the surface, she wasn't feeling too calm inside her heart.

The previous bombardment had taken a toll on her. Not only did she have to block the bombardment, but she was also forced to deflect King Oceanus' sneak attacks.

His attacks were the ones that dealt damage to the City Walls and almost made it collapse.

"You truly deserve your reputation, Princess Illumina," King Oceanus praised. "You will become a wonderful asset to the Great Plan, so I have a proposal to make. Why don't you join us, and I will let bygones be bygones. How about it?"

Prince Baltic, who heard King Oceanus' proposal, suddenly felt alarmed.

If Princess Illumina joined the Great Plan, then she would no longer fall into his hands!

Illumina's Father, King Betram, glanced at his daughter with a worried look.

Truth be told, he wanted to tell his daughter to just accept the olive branch that King Oceanus had extended to her, guaranteeing her life and the survival of their kingdom.

But familiar with how proud his daughter was, he held back his tongue and waited for her

answer.

"I decline," Illumina replied in a firm tone. "The Kingdom of Saphirus doesn't want any part of this war, for we follow the teachings of Lord Arariel and Queen Celestia. If you wish to fight the Surface Dwellers, then fight them on your own. We will not be a part of it!"

A sigh escaped King Oceanus' lips before he shook his head. "Truly a pity."

Knowing that the Mermaid Princess could annihilate thousands of soldiers with her fighting prowess, King Oceanus finally decided to take matters into his own hands.

Truth be told, he didn't want to step up. But since he would need cannon fodders to deal with the armies on land, he didn't want the manpower of the War Council to decrease if he could prevent it.

Because of this, he decided to just challenge Illumina in a duel.

As long as she was defeated, the morale of the Defenders would plummet, and the destruction of the Kingdom of Saphirus would have fewer casualties.

"Then let's fight a duel," King Oceanus said with a smile. "If you win, I will spare your people. If you lose, you will join my army whether you like it or not. Deal?"

"Deal," Illumina replied.

She didn't want to let her people die in vain either, so she decided to accept the duel. That way, her kingdom would have a way out of their current predicament.

Her display of power earlier was done to intimidate the armies of the Ocean Races and make them hesitate having a frontal confrontation with her.

Although she was fighting a Colossi, she didn't feel any fear, for she still had a trump card that she could use as a last resort.

"Father, I'll leave the rest to you," Illumina said as she left the City Wall to face off against King Oceanus in the center of the battlefield.

When the Mermaid Princess and the Colossi were only a hundred meters away from each other, both of them stopped at the same time.

They stared at each other for nearly half a minute before they moved at the same time.

Oceanus pointed his trident at the Mermaid Princess and unleashed a lightning bolt, which Illumina was barely able to dodge.

However, she had already expected something like this and had prepared her counterattack beforehand.

Dozens of Water Balls appeared around King Oceanus, and all of them fired Water Beams at the same time, leaving no place for the Colossi to dodge.

King Oceanus snorted and embedded his trident in the ground, creating a water shield that blocked off all the attacks headed in his direction.

The Colossi didn't plan to waste his time fighting Illumina because he had a feeling that the Mermaid Princess had a trump card that she could use against him.

Because of this, he positioned himself in a place that would prevent Illumina from dodging

his attacks.

The tip of his trident created an orb of concentrated lightning, the sight of which made Illumina's face turn grim.

She suddenly understood why King Oceanus chose this position to attack.

Right behind her was the city wall where her father was located, which meant that if she dodged, not only would her father die, but the city wall would be completely obliterated.

King Oceanus sneered and unleashed a powerful lightning bolt that transformed into a golden

sea dragon.

"Bastard!" Illumina shouted as she created a water ball in front of her and unleashed a beam attack with everything she had.

The two attacks collided, and for a brief moment, they were evenly matched.

However, this lasted only for a few seconds before the Golden Dragon slowly pushed back

Illumina's water beam.

The Mermaid Princess gritted her teeth and increased the power of her attack as she let out a

roar filled with anger.

However, King Oceanus simply smirked and further increased the power of his lightning,

making the Golden Dragon become bigger.

As if a dam had been broken, the Golden Dragon roared and cut through Illumina's attack as if

it were a knife cutting through butter.

The Mermaid Princess looked at the Golden Dragon that was about to devour her whole.

At that moment of life and death, the image of a teenage boy flashed inside her mind.

"Sorry, Ethan," Illumina said softly as she faced the Golden Dragon that was only a few

meters away from her.

She subconsciously closed her eyes and braced herself for the impact.

However, the pain that she was expecting didn't come.

For a brief moment, she even thought that she might have instantly died due to King Oceanus'

attack and was thus unable to feel the pain of death.

Because of this, she slowly opened her eyes.

The first thing she saw was someone with long blue hair standing in front of her. Illumina thought that she was seeing things and once again thought that she really had died.

However, when the person standing in front of her turned around and looked at her with a smile, she felt as if her heart was about to burst with the feelings she had been holding back

for hundreds of years.

"Are you alr-mmph!"

Ethan was unable to finish whatever he was going to say because Illumina suddenly jumped into his arms and planted a kiss on his lips.

Everyone on the battlefield looked at their intertwined figures in shock as the Mermaid Princess, whom everyone admired, kissed someone right in front of them, making the Naga

Prince feel as if someone had ripped his heart right out of his chest, causing his eyes to turn bloodshot with jealousy and rage.
