But with each fight, he gained a better idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the disguise of Merman, he ran to the mid-level 7s princes and princesses willingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the first mid-level 7 prince that he fought, these were further inside the lake, and thus, significantly stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, encountering them was also rare due to their low number in the vast lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty-three miles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty-five miles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty-eight mile—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian turned his head to the source of the sound and found a woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at him in confusion for a second, perhaps wondering why a merman was wandering, but the next second, her skin wriggled and a large form replaced her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a creature that wasn't normal by any means. In fact, it wasn't one particular creature at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had three faces. A shark, a tiger, and a snake. Its body was similar to that of a pangolin—full of scales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\" Varian recalled the girl before she transformed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she was nowhere as pretty as Sarah, she was still a bit beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kree!\" He roared, but in reality, he lamented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I feel bad for you girl, I won't beat you too much.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The princess, now turned into a hybrid creature felt irritated by that roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn't understand what the merman implied. But she felt that it wasn't a normal battle cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Growl!\" The tiger face growled and the shark face gnashed its teeth while the snake hissed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, they all attacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pillar of purple poison reached Varian in the blink of an eye, closely followed by an ice dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next in line was the creature itself. In particular, the tiger head, which opened its mouth and seemed ready to tear him apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian didn't want to test his resilience against the poison, so he teleported.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But like other things on the lake, his teleportation was also restricted. He could teleport dozens of miles outside, but here, he ended up teleporting only a hundred meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when he did, he realized something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Green smoke filled the hundred meters. The poisonous gas spread everywhere and gave him no escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'A hybrid beast can be a headache.' Varian looked at the strange creature and thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike normal beast morphers that transformed into one entity, these hybrid morphers transformed into a creature that was a mash-up of multiple entities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could either be very weak or very strong, depending on the compatibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This one had poison, water, and physical strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The most troublesome part is poison.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's thoughts spun and he quickly thought of a solution. His space body pulled bits of space power out of his body and formed a very thin, but very formidable space layer on every inch of his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like an invisible second skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the poison touched his space guard, they began to class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian couldn't understand how a poison could fight the space layer, but he had more important things to do than think.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he wanted to think, his opponent wouldn't give him the chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the green smoke, a giant creature lunged at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian wanted to roll to the side, but as if it was all planned, two ice dragons came from both sides, cutting off his routes to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm cornered?\" Varian snickered. Instead of feeling flustered, he felt amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Szzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The poison still continued to meltdown his space protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian didn't care. He put force into his legs and pushed the ground. Then, with a resounding blast, he jumped into the air and met the creature mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes locked with the tiger head's and the creature's eyes suddenly turned sluggish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But perhaps this was the benefit of three heads, the other two heads were fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shark face and the snake face looked at him with killing intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian raised his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zap! Kaa!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space around the creature shook violently and cracked like a mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kaa!\" The shark face grimaced and an ice barrier formed around the creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the space blasted into pieces, and chaotic space currents flooded the region, the creature was left unharmed due to its armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang! Kacha!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's body was thrust forward by his macro kinetic force and he reached an insane speed. At this speed, even a normal stone could destroy a big room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with that speed, Varian reached the creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fists glowed in golden lightning as lightning mana coursed through them and he aimed for the tiger head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creature panicked and hurriedly attacked. The snake's poison pillar engulfed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Szz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His space armor was already cracked and it began to creep in, but Varian decided to end the fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, the shark head was about to build another ice armor to protect itself from his punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right then, Varian used his psychic powers to stall its thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was delayed for only a few moments, but that was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a single punch. A punch that mixed the powers of his superhuman strength, lethal lightning, and momentum provided by macro kinetic force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The punch was no joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the punch was about to finally connect, Varian realized something and forcibly decreased the intensity of his attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaa!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creature crashed to the ground like a meteor. If not for the lake's strange surface, there would have been a huge crater already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roa—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creature tried to get up, but it never got the chance as one more arrived. Then another followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until it fainted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creature transformed back into a normal woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian looked at her and sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'If I didn't control my punch at the last moment, she'd have died.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian covered his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never thought of himself as one of those overly righteous heroes who never killed, even if it was the best answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He killed many. And he did it without any remorse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he never killed for the sake of killing. It was always for some reason or necessity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he did kill her here, it'd be entirely his fault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As far as he observed, the princes and princesses here weren't trying to kill each other. They just fought for the key.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this princess herself attacked him with no mercy. If she could've killed him, she would've.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was because he was a 'merman', not a human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Urgh!\" Varian was irritated by the realization that he wouldn't be able to do much about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was the price to pay if he wanted to use all his paths openly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I should find an excuse that works to use all my powers in public, I can't keep restricting myself to three paths forever.' Varian thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hoo!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt a small surge of strength followed by a familiar blue interface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[+100 Xp]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[+100 Xp]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Superhuman Level 7: 300 out of 10,000]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Space Level 7: 100 out of 10,000]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The increments are high, but in the total amount, it is only a drop in the ocean.' Varian shook his head and reached for the princess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided to 'put' her at the edge of the lake. The princes and princesses who fought him were also thrown or escorted there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he was about to touch her, a shout resounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was followed by a spear that was aimed at his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian dodged it easily and looked at the intruder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man in his late twenties. He closed the distance between them and pulled the princess behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is she? No, fuck, if I was late, she'd have died! Fuck!\" The prince cursed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he glared at the merman. \"I'll fucking kill you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Oh well, this puts me at peace.' Varian thought and his body disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thirty miles in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thirty-one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thirty-two….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't an unobstructed fight.
