Kaigur was dragged until the main altar, and the mermaids fixed him to the altar with chains before he was left alone .
"There isn't anyone here . Where is Yale?"
Kaigur started to feel scared after noticing that he was completely alone . Even if Yale hid among the rest of people, Kaigur believed that once everyone else left, he should have been able to see him .
"I am sorry Kaigur, but following you is a waste of time . They won't threaten your life for the time being because they still need you alive . "
Yale thought that while observed the altar from some distance . He hadn't tried to follow Kaigur after he was caught since the fact that Kaigur had been caught was also part of the plan .
Of course, Yale hadn't told about that to Kaigur to make his actuation more realistic .
Since Kaigur was caught, Yale swam by the festival like the ordinary mermen and mermaids, but that was only in appearance because his objective was different .
After an hour, all the mermen and mermaids started to swim towards the main altar as the matriarch was about to start her speech . Yale just followed them without making any strange move .
There was a huge vacant space near the main altar similar to a plaza . The size was enough to have almost all the mermen and mermaids and still have some spare space . If it weren't because some of them needed to be in guard at other points, they would be all there .
A mature mermaid with a purple tail reached the main altar where Kaigur was still chained .
"Long life to the matriarch!"
The masses near the altar shouted by Spiritual Sense at the same time; the faith they had on their matriarch was real although Yale doubted that all of them knew the things she had done in secret .
The purple tail was also a distinctive feature of great talent, but it was inferior to the pink tail of Merumi . In normal circumstances, if a purple-tailed matriarch discovered a pink-tailed mermaid, she would treat that mermaid as her own daughter to groom her as the next matriarch .
However, since the matriarch of the Mermaid Race hated those related to the Sea Race, she hated Merumi more than anyone else . Moreover, the fact that she couldn't show that displeasure publicly made her even angrier .
"Everyone, today it is a sad day but also a happy day . Merumi, my successor, have been killed by her ungrateful and barbarian big brother . We all know that nothing good can come from the Sea Race, but that will end today . This traitor is the last member with a cursed bloodline, and he will become the sacrifice to let our Mermaid Race to turn even stronger!"
No one seemed to doubt about the words of the matriarch . The fake story about Kaigur killing Merumi was something that everyone treated as truth without even thinking about it . Of course, despite the faith they had on their matriarch, the main reason was that the illusions on her voice were too strong .
She and Merumi were the only ones that could mesmerize through Spiritual Sense, and since the matriarch believed that Merumi was dead, she also believed that no one would be able to counter her .
"As everyone should know, that cursed Sea Race only manages to live under us because they offered their World Sea Pearl as an offering . The World Sea Pearl has remained hidden in the sacred chamber behind the altar since that day, providing protection to the Mermaid Race . However, that is at the cost of needing someone with the Sea Race Bloodline existing near us, and this murderer is the last one, so everything needs to change today . "
The mermen and the mermaids were still excited after hearing that; they were lost into the mesmerizing voice to the point that it was impossible trying to reason with them .
"The only good thing of this traitor being here is that we can throw him into the secret chamber to refine the World Sea Pearl for us . Since he also has our mermaid bloodline, after the refinement ended, we will be able to use the effects of the World Sea Pearl . We won't need again having someone with Sea Race Bloodline to have it work!"
Originally, she planned to use Merumi's corpse or parts of it, but since there wasn't any trace of it, it was a lucky thing for the matriarch that Kaigur appeared again .
If it weren't for that, after some months, the Mermaid Race would have been weakened due to the attacks of marine beasts that were currently unable to near them because of the protection of the World Sea Pearl .
In the normal plan, which was the one devised by Liye before Origin Link ended, Yale needed to wait until the Sea Race weakened without letting Merumi nor Kaigur return, but in Yale's plan, it was the opposite .
"Today, it will be a historic day for our . . . "
The matriarch didn't manage to finish that sentence before someone activated the alarm formation .
"Who dares to interrupt my speech!"
The matriarch was angry at that moment, but she noticed that part of the area where the festival was taking place had turned into ice . Moreover, the constructions on the other part were being destroyed .
Yale wanted to smile at that moment since he knew perfectly the reasons for that .
While he was moving around the festival, he made that Wyba, Nurvey, Lar and the wife of the wolf leader left the Storage Space .
Wyba in her half-beast form and the wife of the wolf leader were the ones freezing the area as fast as they could while Nurvey was working with Lar to destroy everything . Lar was powerful from the start and with the boosts of Nurvey's magic, she wasn't weaker than someone at the Elder Rank .
"Catch everyone involved in that . Quickly!"
The matriarch's voice showed her anger, and she was already thinking about how to torture the ones who provoked a ruckus in such an important moment .
The three mermaids at Grandmaster Rank that were near the matriarch tried to rush towards the places where the disturbs where taking place, but before they could advance ten meters towards there, the three of them were stopped .
"You three should stop obeying the orders of that vicious matriarch of yours . "
Sebe said that while he blocked one of the three mermaids, he and another two had also left the Storage Space . The three of them had the job to stop those three mermaids .
"There is no need to fight, the one in the wrong is your matriarch, she tried to kill Merumi by setting up a trap . "
Swordmad was the one who said those words and let everyone hear them . It wasn't that Swordmad didn't want to battle, those words he said were just what Yale told him to say at that moment .
"If you move against us, you will be an enemy of my Demon Lord, and you will end up as my food . "
The third one was the wolf leader who didn't mind eating some enemies; he wasn't picky about the food as long as the food were corpses of his enemies .
The three mermaids couldn't believe that three unknown experts at the Grandmaster Rank had appeared before them .
Moreover, they didn't believe that they could be affected by the mesmerizing voice of the matriarch since Sebe and Swordmad were almost at the Sage Rank, and the effectivity of the mesmerizing voice against beasts was lowered a lot .
"They should be the helpers of this murderer! Everyone! Kill all the intruders! Don't show mercy!"
The matriarch knew that the three mermaids at the Grandmaster Rank wouldn't be able to free themselves in a short span, but she didn't believe that the ones provoking the ruckus were also at the Grandmaster Rank
Moreover, she didn't dare to move herself to fear of someone rescuing Kaigur at that moment .
Instead, she was proceeding with the ritual to open the sacred chamber and throw Kaigur there .
"Right, there is no need to throw him alive, the speed of refining will diminish a bit with a corpse, but it isn't that important . "
Kaigur needed to be alive for the show in front of the masses, but the matriarch already discarded that .
At that moment, the matriarch was moving her hand towards Kaigur's heart, but Yale didn't move to try to help him .
There was no need for moving because someone appeared in front of the matriarch and a Frost Claw hurt her face .
"It has been a long time since I left, but to think that I will battle a dirty fish . "
The matriarch was utterly angry due to the pain in her face and the fact that the woman before he had called her fish, which was a great insult for mermaids .
However, when she tried to feel Aiwai's power, she was frozen in fear .
"2-star Sage!"
The matriarch never believed that someone stronger than herself would appear, and then she understood that the situation wouldn't be easy to solve .
Aiwai could only be outside the Storage Space for half an hour each month, so her time was limited, but that time was more than enough for Yale .
"Don't feel scared just by this, the plan has just started . "
