As soon as the two entered the passageway, Peridot immediately activated the Frost Nova skill. She made sure to block the passageway as she knew that it will only take a matter of time before Levin Cloud falls.


    She is not underestimating Levin Cloud, but he is not a priest that can withstand numerous enemies that are assassins. If the enemies were warrior type opponents, then he has greater chance to win as they do not have as much damage as assassins have.


    "I will stay here and protect the passageway. You must go and convince Princess Arie to help you purify the divine artifact fragment." Peridot stated as she continued to freeze the entrance and the walls of the passageway.


    Kabrakan did as he is told and proceeded to the next room where the Ssh of the Wilde is pointing at him. He found about two merfolk guards and other merfolk that are evacuating. It seems that the passageway is only limited which is why not all of them are yet to escape.


    "Halt!" The merfolk guards stated as they raised their tridents towards Kabrakan that suddenly entered.


    The merfolk guards did not know how an outsider managed to find the hidden passageway, but they will make sure to eliminate him. The merfolk guards are about to charge towards Kabrakan when Princess Arie shouted at them to stop.


    


    "Stop! That man is a distinguished guest." Princess Arie stated but she soon recognizes the thing that is on Kabrakan''s hands.


    "It seems that you have noticed, Princess Arie. I need you help with the Ssh of the Wilde. It is currently infected by those that are attacking the kingdom. It calls for you to help it to cleanse the impurities within it." Kabrakan stated which made Princess Arie stunned.


    She could not believe that she is chosen by the great treasure that protects them. She always dreamed to be the chosen protector of the Wilde when she was a small child, but she did not think that it woulde true. She always thought that it would be one of her brothers that will be chosen because they are far stronger than her.


    "Am I really chosen?" Princess Arie asked with a soft voice as she could still not believe.


    "Stay back, princess! I am sure that he just stole the treasure and wants you to fall prey to the evil infecting it. He is just using you to be a sacrifice so that he can activate the great treasure." The merfolk guards stated as they came closer to Kabrakan in an attempt to capture him.


    The ground suddenly started to shake as something huge happened above ground. A few secondster, the sound of rocks falling, and ice breaking could be heard from the distance. Kabrakan knew that the secondyer of defense is broken. What he found dreadful is the aura of a being that resembles a dark god.


    "We do not have time to dillydally. Do you trust me, princess?" Kabrakan asked as he held the Ssh of the Wilde with his hands.


    "I trust you. Stop what you are doing and help the others to evacuate. This is an imperial order." Princess Ariemanded with the dignity fit for royalty.


    The two merfolk guards knew that they cannot change the mind of the princess and she even issued an imperial order. They have to obey that order with all their might as they know that disobedience meant punishment or banishment.


    The merfolk guards took note of everything that will happen to the princess so that they can respond if something bad is supposed to happen to her. Princess Arie went in front of the Ssh of the Wilde andid her hand on top of it.


    "What should we do now?" Princess Arie asked.


    "I actually do not know as it just told me to look for merfolk royalty. The next step has not been given to me so even I do not know what we need to do." Kabrakan replied.


    A few seconds after the both of them ced their hands on the Ssh of the Wilde, it suddenly started to activate. The Ssh of the Wilde that should be the size of a basketball suddenly expanded and locked the hands of the two individuals. They tried to take their hands out, but it continued to suck them in.


    The Ssh of the Wilde continued to expand until it swallowed Kabrakan and Princess Arie. The guards tried to free her as the treasure suddenly swallowed their princess, but they got repelled instead. When both of them got swallowed inside, the Ssh of the Wilde suddenly emitted a strong light, and it pierced the ceiling.


    The Ssh of the Wilde then rose to the sky gently as it kept releasing a powerful energy. The ones fighting in the vicinity could not pull their eyes away from the Ssh of the Wilde as it is giving off energy powerful enough to conquer the oceans.


    The Ssh of the Wilde then returned to its normal size, but it emitted a shockwave that nullified all skills and spells in the vicinity. The shockwave did not differentiate from friend or foe as it erased everything. It even erased the telekinesis holding Adrian hostage.


    Two beings came out of the Ssh of the Wilde with different appearances than what they normally have. Princess Arie wore a merfolk dress but now she is wearing a scaled armor made of pink scales. She is also using a replica of the Ssh of the Wilde as an orb.


    Kabrakan is also different as he is now wearing a scaled armor that has the same qualities of a fish. He also has the Ssh of the Wilde embedded into his chest as some sort of power supply to his armor. He no longer needs to consume the pill that makes them breath underwater as long as he is wearing this armor.
