The Almighty Ring

f ours.
Hence, we are her subjects.
If she perishes here, the great King Elric would surely have us all killed!” cried the elder.

“Master of the Seven Seas? Sounds amazing!” said Jiang Fei.

“Don’t be impressed by the title.
The seven seas are just a small territory in the Sea of Purgatory.
At best, King Elric is only as strong as an Overlord.
He and the Tyrant of the Ocean, Morgan, are currently disputing sovereignty over the Eastern Sea of the Sea of Purgatory.
As a matter of fact, the two “rulers” had come up with their own titles! It was a childish competition of who could name themselves better.
If it isn’t in the waters, my brother alone could defeat over ten of them combined!” said Isabella as she snickered away.

“I see,” Jiang Fei replied.
The already deceased Curtis aside, Jiang Fei had witnessed the overwhelming power of Otis, the Elder Prince.
Even though he was only a mid-tier Overlord, it would not be strange for him to defeat a few low tier Overlord boss.

“So… Are we going to let this go?” asked Jiang Fei as he pointed at the bleeding Mermaid princess.

He had more than enough Underwater Breathing Potion for him to sustain his entire hunting duration.
To him, saving the Mermaid and the wellbeing of the Fishman was not of his concern.
Saving the Mermaid was optional.
Leaving her to die would do nothing to Jiang Fei, saving her would earn him a good treasure, perhaps.
Jiang Fei was worried about not being able to get enough compensation for his deeds!

“Save her then,” said Isabella.

“Huh? Are you sure? Didn’t you act out when I tried to save Sylphy that one time?” said Jiang Fei as he grinned.

“Hey! I didn’t act out alright? I’m only asking you to save her, not court the poor Mermaid!” said Isabella as she pouted and sulked.
The only reason she wanted Jiang Fei to rescue the Mermaid was to gain benefit for the Demon race.

The war between the Light and the Shadow had spanned far too long.
Having the Dragon race on their side was good leverage to the Light Faction.
Besides that, almost all races and species were already involved in this war.
Still, both sides were equally strong and the war was in a stalemate.
Having to get the Merfolk on their side would be borrowing the power of the oceans! The Demon race would gain a powerful ally and might even win the war.

“Very well, my princess.
Don’t regret this later!” said Jiang Fei.
He did not think as far as Isabella and had only thought about gaining the fastest interest by saving the daughter of King Elric.

“Thank you, great Explorer! Please save her quick! She cannot die here! She cannot die on this island!” cried the elder Fishman.
Jiang Fei was almost thrown when he heard the last sentence.
He was basically saying that the princess could die anywhere else but the Fishmen’s island!

“I hope that your daddy would bestow us some good stuff! Or my good stuff would go to waste!” said Jiang Fei as he took out an item from his inventory.

Blood Lingzhi Mushroom (Herb, Epic)

Use: Produce Potions.

Note: A powerful herb with superior healing properties.

Jiang Fei had only seven of these in the beginning.
Reviving Isabella had consumed five and he had used one of them to trade for an Elemental Water from the Elven Queen.
That piece of mushroom was the last one in his inventory.

Even though it was priceless, the superior healing properties could not be applied to players.
Players would only need healing potion or even a healer to recover fully.
This Blood Lingzhi Mushroom’s function was to bring NPCs back from the dead.
No matter how severe the wounds were, as long as the mushroom was applied, the NPC would be revived.

“HRRGH!”

Jiang Fei slammed the mushroom in his hand and ground it into tiny irregular sized pieces.
After that, he spread them all onto the Mermaid’s wound.

Once the mushroom pieces seeped into the body, more dark-red blood oozed out immediately.
After a while, the blood turned lighter.
Soon, the bleeding stopped once the blood returned to its original red color.
The wounds started to heal and the scales started to grow back.
The already glistering tail became more beautiful as the Mermaid slowly regained her health.
