Chapter 27 The Hate Of A Woman In Love
Suddenly, a notification catches my attention. "Congratulations! You've leveled up!" My hands tremble with excitement as I realize that I can finally level up. That simple notification means that all the time and effort I've invested are about to be rewarded.
The feeling of excitement and accomplishment mix as my heart races with emotion. The update has made a significant change in my system. I need to level up as quickly as possible.
But this is not the right time to think about it, I take a deep breath and regain control, looking ahead and cautiously approaching the bodies of the looters, whose lives were brutally taken by my stone golems. I look at each one of them, searching for items they might have captured during their looting spree.
Among the wreckage and leather bags, my attention is drawn to a subtle gleam. I squat down and reach out, finding a small silver bracelet adorned with carved aquatic symbols. It exudes a magical aura, and my intuition tells me it's an enchanted oxygen bracelet.

As I put it on my wrist, I feel a gentle magical current run through my body, promising the ability to breathe freely underwater. This discovery opens up a new range of possibilities, and exploring the depths of the ocean becomes an exciting prospect.
Continuing the search, I find small sparkling cores of energy, resembling liquid crystals. These precious stones carry pulsating magical energy, and my fingers caress them with curiosity. These energy cores could be used to strengthen my golems, amplifying their power and resilience in future battles.

Still with tears in her eyes, Malina approaches me and embraces me tightly, her blue eyes staring into mine with a mix of determination and anger. She speaks with a firm and emotional voice, quoting the words of her father, a servant of the ocean's royal family, about the law of the strongest.

"My father once told me that only the strong make the rules, and the weaker ones are always forced to obey, or else they will die. I didn't understand before, but now I understand what he meant. I will become stronger, and to do that, I'm capable of anything, even destroying an entire city of slimes. Atreus! I will seek revenge; one day, I will truly kill you."
Listening to her words, I can't help but smile, admiring the determination burning in her gaze. I respond, using a confident yet respectful tone. "Remember what we did before in the cave. Would you be capable of trying to kill your beloved?"
Malina takes a deep breath and retorts, maintaining her firm posture. "That was nothing more than an act of carnal weakness. I will keep my promise and seek revenge!"
I smile again, appreciating her strength and conviction. "I'll be waiting, Princess Malina!"
Without saying another word, our lips meet briefly in a kiss, a mix of desire and determination in every touch. In her eyes, I see the flame of vengeance burning intensely, but also a part of her that seems to struggle against what she feels for me.
Our hearts are involved in a complex dance, with conflicting emotions that defy the circumstances surrounding us. It is an intense moment, filled with passion, but also uncertainty and challenges.
As our lips part, our gazes remain connected, reflecting the whirlwind of feelings that permeate this unique moment.
Malina gently opens her arms, allowing me to let go. She takes a few steps back, keeping a distance between us, and her words sound firm and determined: "Don't look for me, because at some point, I will find you, no matter where you are. I will kill you!"
I feel a mixture of admiration and sadness as I hear her words. Her determined gaze reveals the intensity of her promise as she gathers her last reserves of energy. I see her muscles preparing for a swift and powerful movement.
Then, before my eyes, Malina leaps into the air. She seems to float for a precious few seconds, defying gravity itself. Her graceful body is bathed in sunlight, highlighting her wild beauty. And in an instant, she disappears at high speed, cutting through the air towards the vast blue ocean that stretches to the horizon.
I stand there, still and immersed in the silence that follows her departure. The echo of her words lingers in my ears, along with the image of her determination imprinted on my heart. Although I know this is only the beginning of a journey full of challenges and conflicts, I can't help but feel a pang in my chest as I watch her leave.
I whisper, barely audible to myself, "Princess, at some point, I will rule the world. Sooner or later, you will be standing before me, begging for pleasure and sex, just like you did in our cave passion."
The phrase escapes my lips with a tone filled with determination and self-confidence. As the words dissipate into the air, a mix of pride and ambition takes hold of me. I feel power pulsating in my veins, fueling my thirst for control and domination.
I sigh deeply, feeling a mixture of emotions in my chest as I watch the mermaid vanish into the blue horizon of the ocean. She is gone, taking with her her promises of revenge and her hesitant words of love. I am momentarily immersed in my own thoughts, reflecting on the choices that brought me here.
However, even in this moment of melancholy, my focus quickly shifts to the task at hand. I raise my hand with the gauntlet, feeling the energy pulsate through it, ready to be directed according to my will.
Concentrating, I command my stone golems to bring the bodies of the looters. They obediently move with surprising agility to fulfill my order. I watch them bring the bodies of the weremen who once took advantage of the desolation of the destroyed city.
I slowly bend down towards the bodies lying at my feet, my expression cold and calculating. I extend my hands and begin examining the objects left behind by the looters, mixed among their earthly possessions and the magical peculiarities of the desolate beach.
My fingers close around shells that emit a weak energy, remnants of the magic permeating the marine environment. I feel the magical pulse of these small treasures and realize they can be useful in my future endeavors. I carefully place them in my bag, aware that I can extract their power when needed.
As I take a closer look at the abandoned belongings, I find torn small maps, fragments of a larger whole. My astute mind dedicates itself to deciphering the secrets contained within these pieces of paper. I identify points of interest, places where hidden underwater cities could be located.
"Ding! Ding!"
