Degrade from Nobility to a Humble Slave novel Chapter 275

The journey of two meters downwards beneath the surface of the lake had cost Zen quite a lot of time, but once there, Zen dived deeply and shook the fish tail quickly, and his body swam forwards much like an arrow had been shot through the water.

In no time at all, he was approaching the fifty-meter mark in terms of depth.

As soon as he reached 50 meters, three more yellow dots appeared not far away from him. They were mere twinkles but became bigger very quickly. Once he could see them clearly, he narrowed his eyes, "Three Murlocs."

Even while facing just one Murloc in the lake, Zen had been in a difficult position a while ago. He had done nothing but run away passively.

So it was surprising to see that on seeing three Murlocs, he didn't choose to run away. On the contrary, he shook the fish tail attached to his back and rushed towards the trio.

The three yellow Murlocs saw him approach and quickly formed a defense pattern in the shape of a triangle, with one in front and two at the back. They had black spears in their hands, and the sharp spear-point showered the water around them with a cold light.

Zen rushed forward, but just as he approached the Murloc in front, he suddenly twisted his body, which made the fish tail at his back slap around crazily.

With the full propulsive force of the tail behind him, Zen turned around and avoided the spear that the Murloc had thrown at him with rather alarming force. At the same time, he turned around once more and gripped the Murloc's huge head.

"Die!"

Murloc heads were naturally the hardest parts on their bodies, but once Zen had fixed his hands, he could make full use of his peerlessly powerful strength.

He tore the fish head with enough strength to split it.

After the head was torn, the Murloc surely died. In no time, he turned into a ball of colorful light and disappeared in the water...

To be clear, the Murlocs in the Lake of Magical Fish were holographic projections of the magic array around the lake, and weren't real. The only indigenous species in the area were some red daces.

After Zen had killed the first Murloc, the other two waved their black spears from different positions, trying to spike Zen.

But Zen was reacting much more quickly than them. The only problem was that earlier, he wasn't used to this water. But now, he had mastered how to swim in the heavy water, and it was no problem for him to dodge two simple spears. As he tore the head of the first Murloc, the tail at the back of his body waved around, and he floated upward rapidly.

The resultant change in position afforded him the ability to avoid the spears at the same time as going on the offensive.

Suddenly, he spun a complete hundred and eighty degrees in the water, turned his head down, and stretched out his hand to grasp the two spears before the two Murlocs took them back.

Grabbing them hard, he pushed back with all his resolve and in an instant, the sharp spear ends had cut through the Murloc shells.

Although Zen couldn't hear any sound around him in the water, he clearly saw that the two Murlocs spread some colorful lights and then disappeared right in front of him... .

Outside the Lake of the Magical Fish, Roger and the guard were sitting on a stone bench and waiting quietly for Zen to leave the lake.

Roger had originally planned something else for the day, but once he saw Zen entering inside, he had postponed his engagement.

When in Dragon Fort in the south, Zen had shown astonishing strength.

At that time, he hadn't entered the nature level or become a nature creature, but the strength he had shown was enough to impress Roger.

Now they had been apart for many days, and Roger wanted to see what level Zen had been promoted to.

"This bloke didn't listen to my advice. The Lake of the Magical Fish is a magic array, but even so, the pressure under water is high since we use heavy water. If he can't control himself properly, he will get injured." The guard shook his head and stared at an array plate sitting beside him at the stone bench.

There were many kinds of arrays, such as magic array, killing array, maze array, impasse array and so on.

Each kind of array had a different purpose. For example, the magic array was set to cultivate and test. It was the most convenient one for the cause and had the best results.

All the magic arrays had a common point, and there was an array plate to control and monitor the operation of the huge array.

For example, when Zen had taken the Blooded Test on Bloody Mountain, Joshua was in control of the magic array used to release the ogre which had chased Zen.

The magic array plate beside the guard had the same effect. It could not only control the magical Murlocs in it but also monitor where the human in the magic array was.
