According to Maggie's plan, when the Ice Mermaids attacked again, she would act like a grim reaper, moving freely among the fighting mermaids.
Each time it appears, it takes away an ice mermaid.
Her movements were swift and decisive; no ice mermaid could escape Maggie's 'heart-piercing' technique. It was precise, effective, and completely painless.
This event lasted for a relatively long time, which allowed Maggie to discover the entire process of how the group of ice mermaids changed after losing the 'black liquid'. Instead of turning into ice sculptures, they melted and disappeared.
In full view of everyone.
However, just as she was getting into the swing of things, Maggie suddenly sensed that the atmosphere around her was a bit strange. Upon closer inspection, she discovered that every time she arrived at a place, the merfolk around her would scatter and keep their distance from her.
"..."
She thought she probably already knew the reason.
It was just a minor incident, and Maggie quickly forgot about it. She studied the ice sculptures that had died and turned into ice sculptures, but unfortunately, the ice was too hard, and she couldn't break them apart no matter how many times she tried.
They had no choice but to give up on extracting the black liquid from the dead ice mermaid's body.
Because Maggie knew the Ice Mermaids' weakness, the attack was quickly met with the Ice Mermaids' retreating howls. The remaining Ice Mermaids swiftly retreated to the depths of the sea, and there was no way to stop them.
Just then, Maggie suddenly felt a gaze fall upon her, filled with intense malice and hatred.
Maggie instinctively looked for the source of the malice and discovered it was coming from the direction the ice mermaids were retreating.
"As expected..."
She vaguely knew that there was a mastermind behind it all, but she had no idea what kind of person it was or whether it was a demon. Right now, the enemy was in the dark, while she was in the light.
It's highly likely that her actions of collecting the black liquid have already been detected by the mastermind behind it all.
The threat was born from this.
Unfortunately, Maggie wasn't afraid at all; instead, she felt an inexplicable excitement, a surge of adrenaline. Normally, she would have felt fear when faced with unknown dangers, but now she was only filled with interest.
Maggie glanced deeply in that direction, then suddenly revealed a smile as sweet as honey and as poisonous as poppy.
Without hesitation, she turned around and chose to return to the mermaid settlement.
Chasing after them now is definitely not the best option. Before the agreed-upon counterattack begins, she plans to thoroughly study these black liquids.
Back in her room, Maggie placed the black liquid she was holding on the table in front of her.
Despite being in seawater, the black liquid is completely incompatible with the seawater and looks more like petroleum, unable to dissolve in water.
They even showed signs of escaping, but it was unclear whether this was due to the liquid itself or manipulation by an unknown entity.
She took away so many important control cores. If it were her, she would also be anxious and wish she could kill the other person and get them back as soon as possible.
In the time that followed, Maggie started doing some very tedious and boring things.
Various spells and methods were used to attack the black liquid, but naturally, none of them worked. The black liquid remained unharmed, just like the ash cores, which, although they would solidify, would not be completely destroyed.
"strangeness."
Maggie stroked her chin, lost in thought.
She studied it for a long time and found that this black liquid had no weaknesses at all, which was impossible.
Suddenly, Maggie had a sudden thought.
She stared at the black liquid trying to escape. After a long while, she suddenly slashed her finger, and blood gushed from her fingertip, dripping onto the black liquid.
Then......
Then something unexpected happened to Maggie.
Her blood dripped onto the black liquid, making a 'sizzling' sound, as if a drop of hot oil had been poured in and fried them all.
She also heard a harsh and unpleasant sound.
It was as if these liquids were wailing.
Maggie's mouth dropped open in surprise, and she gasped. She had just had a momentary lapse in judgment, recalling scenes from martial arts novels and thinking that blood could play a role.
Surprisingly, it actually worked!
This thing's weakness is actually blood?
"..."
Thinking of this, Maggie fell into deep thought again, because she was now more concerned about another issue: whether the weakness of this black liquid was blood, or simply her blood.
This is a very important matter, so important that we must find out the truth, otherwise even if she isn't anemic, she's not far from death.
So, Maggie decided to secretly find two people to try it out.
Without hesitation, she stood up and walked outside.
At that time, the poor mermaids outside were unaware that they had been targeted by a strange woman.
...
On the other side, in the lair of the Ice Mermaids, rows of expressionless Ice Mermaids stood in the water, their eyes closed, like clones created in a petri dish.
At the very front was a constantly shifting shadow, its expression twisting on the ground from time to time, before writhing into a terrifying monster, revealing just how terrible and unstable its emotions were.
If someone were to witness this scene in the silent depths of the sea, they would surely faint from horror.
In the end, the shadow transformed into a mermaid-like shape, and for the time being, things returned to normal.
"That woman... stole my treasure!!!"
The shadow's cold, hoarse voice echoed in the cave, accompanying him as he swiftly darted back into its depths.
If someone were to follow them inside, they would see a huge ice crystal inside the cave, sharp and captivating, shimmering with prism-like colors.
The shadow pressed itself against the ice crystal with a fervent longing, as if yearning, as if anticipating.
As a result, the liquid flowing from the ice crystals gradually transformed into the shape of a mermaid on the ground. Combined with the black liquid bestowed upon him by the shadow, the originally rigid mermaid gradually revealed vivid expressions.
They look just like real mermaids.
"Go, you find a way to kill that woman who discovered the secret."
Shadow's voice was still filled with anger, clearly showing his deep resentment towards Maggie for taking the black liquid.
"Yes, Master."
The mermaids that appeared unconditionally accepted the order, turned around and darted out of the cave where they were hiding, heading straight for the location of the mermaid settlement.
His only mission was to kill Maggie at all costs.
At that time, Maggie was unaware of the impending danger, and the shadow was also unaware that Maggie had already grasped their weakness.
That's right. After Maggie's cat-and-dog-teasing experiments, four or five mermaids have already been killed, pricked by unexpected flying needles and startled by Maggie's sudden appearance.
Coupled with Maggie's infamous reputation, many mermaids had nightmares that night.
