Chapter 55 The Sea Goddess Evolved
"It happened two weeks ago when my sister and I were on dry land putting out a show for our friends, it was a normal morning when out of nowhere, Ghosts from Nerverk showed up." Shuna hinted.
Sitting on the ground while Sato stood in front of her with Yuri, Shuna, and Divanchi standing behind him.
Shuna began again, "At first they offered to help build our little village and make it better but when our Godmother refused they retaliated.
Ghost warriors covered in black cloaks attacked my people and slaughtered every one of my friends.
My sister and I were the only ones saved, brought in by the Gundan… he promised to save our lives if we helped him out the beast in fur under his control".
"Beast in fur?" Yuri questioned.
"She means werewolves," Sato uttered, looking at Yuri and clenching his fist in frustration.
Yuri could tell he was feeling angered, but the reason wasn't clear enough for her to act upon it.
The little information Shuna shared was not nearly enough for Sato to feel the way he does but yet, Yuri could tell his blood was starting to boil with rage.
"The man, could you tell me why exactly he kept the three of you out of the massacre specifically? If he needed to take control of the werewolves then wouldn't it have been better to have as much help as possible?" Sato asked.
"It's because we are Foids." Xanxia chimed in.
'Foids?'...
<<Foids are special mermaids with the ability to harness the full power of the ocean.>>

'I think I get the gist of it'.
"He was only after our power… he promised if we helped him, he would release us." Shuna exposed, showing Sato the slave collar around her neck.
It was a metal collar with a small red gem in the middle, and each of them had the exact same thing.
Sato walked toward the mermaids with a serious look on his face, "I can free you from this bondage." He uttered.
The mermaids were baffled by what Sato said, no one has ever heard of someone breaking another person's slave command.
"Are you being serious?" Shuna asked curiously.
"I am." Sato responded.
Xanxia's eyes widened in shock before she calmed down, "He's telling the truth…" She voiced out.
Luna instantly moved to the front and stared at Sato, "Please free us from this… I don't want this around my neck anymore." She complained.
With a smile, Sato stretched out his hand toward them, "For this to work, you're going to have to take me as your leader wholeheartedly." Sato explained.
Although they felt hesitant to play along at first, but when they saw how willing Sato wanted to help, they had no choice but to go through.
After Sato recited his vow, he passed it on to the mermaids to repeat after him and they did so, to the very last word.
As soon as they all finished reciting their vows, the three mermaids slowly started gleaming as they hovered in the sky.
Divanchi and the girls in the room all watched with amazement.
<<Notice… New surbodineess recorded [Mermaids]>>
<<The skill Evolve has activated
Mermaids evolved into a higher form… Sea goddess>>
The Mermaids suddenly were able to stand on two feet with their fish tails being replaced by human legs.
"Ahhhh!" Shuna yelled, "Sisters… we have legs!" She excliamed.
"Incredible," Shuna chuckled in disbelief, "We can actually walk on land." She thought to herself.
Her hand suddenly touched her neck and she was quick to notice the slave collar around her neck no longer there.
"The collar… it's gone." Shuna said excitedly.
"Does this mean we are free?" Luna asked, rubbing her neck with an overzealous smile on her face.
"You… saved us." Shuna hinted, "We are truly grateful." She thanked.
Sato with a smile responded, "Don't worry about it… I just did what I could." He consoled.
Xanxia smiled, "Thank you good sir!" She yelled.
"Thank you!" Luna joined in.
Yuri suddenly walked up to Sato, "Master, what do you plan to do about the mind-controlled vampires?" She asked.
"I guess I have to meet them in person first." Sato replied, "Xanxia… is there anywhere to break the mind control you place on the vampires?" He asked.
"Yes, but it's going to take about four hours," Xanxia responded.
Before Sato could transfer another word, Shuna chimed in with a warning as she moved closer to Sato.
"Good sir, you helped me and my sis so I feel the need to say this… get as far away from the demon empire and Nervek as possible." She warned.
"What do you mean?" Sato asked calmly.
"While we were Lord Gudan's slaves, we overheard a bit of his plan after we helped him take control of over a hundred werewolves and other species.
This is not something that was done overnight, Gudan plans to destroy Nervek and take the eye of destruction from a man named Vlad." Shuna explained.
Sato was unfazed by her warning, "So he has an army of werewolves?" He asked.
"Yes…." Shuna asserted.
"She's right." Divanchi added, "Although I didn't get a good view I was sure I saw a couple of wolves moving in sync toward the garden".
"Oh, you misunderstood… If Gudan and whoever wants to start a war with numbers on their side then I'll do mine with magic and strategy on my side".
"Fight fire with light." Divanchi said with a smile, "If you need an army master, I could help gather up the beastmen in our Village.".
"And I could help with the witches… as many as you want master." Yuri voiced out.
"Oh… I always seem to forget you became the leader of the witches." Sato uttered before walking over to the door.
"What?!" Divanchi shouted, "When did this happen?" She asked.
"Back at my first summon… Does it bother you?" Yuri teased.
Elena just stood behind, observing as Yuri and Divanchi began to argue with each other.
Sato didn't pay attention to any of it, instead, he had his ear on the door as he began listening to what was behind it.
