Swimming along and still in the coral reef, it's huge after all.

Not going in a straight line since I need to buy time until help comes.

I go around the area repeating what I did ealrier, enslaving fish and using them as a shield for my front plus my sides and lower half this time.

You can't tell what will suddenly come out.

The sea snake eel is slowing down a bit but it's still too much for me to handle

Zig zagging around and a hotspot of shrimps attack us from afar, they aren't a big deal except a huge one who's attack would be bad if it it me.

It's not hurting the snake that badly though, there is a lack of strong sea creatures here.

Swimming in the reef for a while and barely anything has attacked us.

This is due to being near the coast and all the fishing going on, they are regurlaly hunted down so they aren't growing to their best potential.

Fish and crustaceans all in hiding in the corals and under the sea sand.

Dark Breath still being fired depletes my fish shield so I go ahead with speed boosts.

It's been 30 minutes since it started chasing me, it's injured so I can keep my distance without fear now, I just have to wait it out.

Soon after I sense some mermen and sea creatures they are riding, 15 of them in total, all veterans it seems.

They attack in groups and the snake worm is getting beaten hard.

FHWAM its tail strucks a merman and a breath attack hits several others.

It's tenacious even after all this time, I grab the ones who were hurt and heal them.

They join the attack again and slowly the sea snake worm is defeated.

I strike the final blow with a giant holy trident right through its head.

It falls down and it's over.

The blood is collected in algae sponges again, that's really important.

Sharks are numerous and troublesome, if not done the area will be swarmed by sharks and almost every type is dangerous for a merman if evolved.

I ask the mermen to transport the creature since its body will serve as proof.

I hook it with my holy skills and dvidide the carrying load to everyone.

The sea creatures they are riding are only 10-20 meters but that's enough to drag the monster back.

Another half hour of swimming, sigh, the downside of a huge world.

We arrive and I'm hugged by the girls, 'I knew you would make it Holy Fish', 'You have to tell me what happened during the chase.'

Merlea mother arrives and congratulates everyone on returning and for our victory.

The worm is taken inside the mega city for now.

'Those mermen were already looked into with magic, only 1 member of the council was in it and some accomplices will be taken into custody soon.'

'It seems the traitous parts were not that big or powerful as an organization, we had overesitimated them yet it was good to deal with them now before they grew any further.'

'Thank you for your help Holy Fish.'

Merlea thanks me but that was the whole force of the traitors? well good for me honestly, I won't have to deal with that anymore.

'Now if you would please attend a ceremony to make you publicly known.'

'Heh? no thanks.'

'ok.'

For the rest of today I share my heroic fight against the snake worm to the princesses in the palace then I head back and prepare for tonight's sleep, I'm too tired.
