Chapter 1072 - 629 I’m Not Human Anymore!_2
It’s precisely because the power that Berion has built over the years is strong enough, otherwise, there wouldn’t even be the possibility to sustain injury prevention.
Initially, Berion had already lost the will to continue competing.
The other party had started to show lethal intent towards him, making it very difficult for him to have a chance to recover.
But now, a new Fishman Legend appeared before him, truly giving him both shock and joy.
However, Berion quickly adjusted his mindset; although this Legendary Crown saved his life, it didn’t mean he would do anything for him.
Moreover, behind his enemy stood a legendary figure as well.
Just as Berion was quickly considering what to do, he heard the Fishman Warrior sheath his long knife and ask him:
"I see your strength is decent, so how did you get captured by those Humans?"
Captured by someone?
Hearing this, Berion was somewhat surprised.
He had been leading his subordinates to seek help from the Church of the Ocean Goddess when he was attacked midway.
He must have passed out at that time; was it at that moment he was found by passing Humans?
Thank goodness he encountered this Legendary Crown...
Just imagining the outcome of being captured and enslaved by Humans sent chills down Berion’s spine.
"I was attacked earlier, I must have passed out, I didn’t know such a thing had happened."
In front of the legend, Berion did not intend to argue or hide anything.
"An internecine conflict among Fishmen?"
The robust Fishman Warrior glanced at Berion and shook his head with a displeased expression.
Then the Fishman Warrior was about to get up, looking like he was ready to leave.
Seeing this, Berion was somewhat anxious.
After all the trouble to encounter a legend that might lend a hand, how could he be willing to let this chance slip away?
Berion stepped forward and hurriedly said:
"Thank you for saving my life, may I know how to address you?"
"I am Berion Pearl, a prince of this sea’s Fishman Tribe, may I have the honor of inviting your crown to visit my tribe?"
"Are you from the Pearl Clan?"
Hearing Berion’s words, the Fishman Warrior was startled, then turned his head, sized him up a few times, and asked.
"What is Matteo Pearl to you?"
Upon hearing this name, Berion’s eyes lit up instantly.
Could it be... this Legendary Crown has some connection with Lord Matteo?
Matteo Pearl was a recently deceased legend from Berion’s clan, and precisely because he lost his greatest support, Berion found himself in his current predicament.
"Do you know Crown Matteo?"
Berion hurriedly said:
"Crown Matteo was a senior of our clan, but he passed away last year."
"Matteo died?"
The Fishman Warrior turned around, eyes fixed on Berion.
A terrifying aura instantly locked onto Berion; for a moment, Berion felt a blackness before his eyes, as if Death God was already beckoning him.
Noticing Berion’s distress, the robust Fishman gathered his aura, looked at Berion, and said:
"I am Klaus, considered a friend of Matteo."
"Matteo died, how is that possible, how did he die?"
"Although he’s not young, he should have plenty of life left!"
From Klaus’s words, one could feel his disbelief over the passing of his friend.
Just catching his breath, Berion’s heart shuddered at these words.
It seemed the situation was progressing in an unimaginable direction, as if he were daydreaming.
It appeared his chances to compete for chiefdom might reappear?
Berion hurriedly said to Klaus:
"Crown Klaus, in fact, we are not very clear about the passing of Crown Matteo either."
"Crown Matteo left the tribe, and the news of his passing was informed to us by Crown O’Neill of the Coral Clan."
"As for what exactly happened, we are not sure..."
In his words, Berion seemed to be explaining something to Klaus, but between the lines, he conveyed skepticism towards the Fishman Legend O’Neill.
Of course, Berion did not lie; that was the truth.
He dared not deceive a legend, for being discovered would be disastrous.
"Hmph!"
Klaus snorted coldly, sneered, and said:
"I’ve heard of that guy O’Neill before. He’s much older than Matteo, yet he’s still around?!"
After speaking, Klaus looked at Berion and said solemnly:
"Berion, is it? Take me to your clan."
"I didn’t expect to come looking for Matteo and end up with this result."
"I want to see who did this!"
"Yes, Crown Klaus!"
Berion responded promptly, filled with joy.
This was like a pie falling from the sky for him.
In the time when the clan’s legendary elder passed, and crisis loomed, a legendary friend of the elder came knocking.
Even if this one might not help him fight for the united tribe’s chief, at least the Pearl Clan’s crisis wouldn’t be a concern.
Berion dared not delay, promptly diving into the sea to lead the way for Klaus.
Klaus followed behind Berion, a mysterious glow in his eyes as he looked at this Fishman.
The so-called Legendary Fishman Klaus was, in reality, Lis in disguise.
Before this, he had thought of various ways to utilize Berion.
For instance, forcibly controlling Berion to make him a puppet, or directly replacing Berion’s identity.
But after understanding Berion’s memory, Lis still chose this method.
After all, for him, he just needed a reason to intervene in the Fishman Clan’s faith.
The more you do, the more you err; the less you do, the fewer mistakes!
He certainly didn’t want to attract the attention of those Church of the Gods.
Moreover, in this situation, he is Berion’s life-saving straw, and even if Berion realizes something is amiss, he would actively help Lis cover it up.
And the conflict between the Pearl Clan and the Coral Clan was the best entry point for Lis.
Of course, to spread belief among the Fishman Clan, expanding his fame the fastest was still necessary.
Just like how Lis gained Legend Level by participating in various events, the higher the reputation, the stronger the power, the easier it is to earn others’ reverence.
This was also the first step in establishing a belief system.
However, because Legendary Fishman Klaus was a new identity created by Lis, he had no previous reputation and needed to start from the beginning.
So, the fastest way to establish reputation in a new group is to defeat the strongest in the group.
And in the current Fishman Tribe, the strongest was that only remaining Fishman Legend, the Evil Food Shark O’Neill.
Just in time, Berion had an implicit disagreement with this legend as well.
After examining Berion’s memory and understanding the situation between them, Lis decided to meet in this guise.
So... I don’t want to be human anymore!
Everything seemed to be going quite smoothly now, though.
There weren’t many caster professionals among the Suo Luo Fishmen, and to distinguish from previous abilities, Lis designed Klaus as a legendary Fishman warrior.
Fishmen were naturally attuned to sensing the general location in the ocean, and to make it more realistic, Lis had previously taken Berion away from Danerluo Port to a deserted island deep in Treasure Pearl Sea.
It didn’t take long before Berion led Lis to the location of the Pearl Clan.
This massive Fishman Tribe was situated in a bay surrounded by several small islands, enveloped in the azure sea, with waves gently lapping at the shore, making pleasant splashing sounds.
The bay’s water was crystal clear, and the multicolored coral reefs swayed in the water, adding a bit of vitality and splendor to this sea area.
The Fishman Tribe’s dwellings were built in the center of the bay, constructed ingeniously with giant shells, coral stones, and seaweed, both solid and attractive.
Fishman houses were arranged deliberately within the shallow sea, some submerged, others slightly above the surface, forming a unique aquatic village.
However, this peculiar Fishman Village was now shrouded under a foreboding cloud.
Fishman warriors held weapons, vigilantly patrolling around the village, with many injured Fishmen visible, staying in the village as the scent of salt and blood in the water attracted the sharks’ watch.
Seeing Berion’s figure appear, many Fishmen rushed over excitedly.
