Have you forgotten about that?
If you lay even one finger on us, you'll be initiating a war between the Heaven Beast Valley and the Desolate River. Aren't you afraid?!"
In an attempt to drive away their predators, one of the two mermaids cried out her argument.
"Ha-ha! Why are you so intense?
If we were in the outside world, there's no way we would treat you like this.
Unfortunately for you, we're all here in the Land of Outlaw.
What happens here, stays here.
There's no use in resisting. After all, no one will come to rescue you.
You'll be fine as long as you go along with it.
Otherwise, we'll slowly torment you both," a middle-aged man in yellow said as he stepped closer.
"Mm-hmm! Mermaids do deserve their reputation. I've been dreaming of meeting a mermaid for a long, long time. Who'd have thought I'd get to have a good time with them now?"
His salacious eyes lit up as he leaned in closer and closer to the mermaids.
He was a genuine medium-grade divine god, while the mermaids they held captive were both genuine preliminary-grade divine gods. Since he had released his aura, the girls couldn't move an inch.
"Stay away! Leave us alone!"
The girls were frantic and desperate.
Just when the lecherous divine god was about to touch one of the mermaids, illusions nearby surged like waves and went violent.
The illusions all swarmed the genuine divine gods of the Desolate River and broke into their Soul Sea.
"Aaargh!"
Immediately, these genuine divine gods all grabbed their heads and yanked their hair as they cried out in pain.
All kinds of terrible illusions that they couldn't get rid of had flooded them.
Although he hadn't entered the Major Achievement Stage of the law of illusion, Austin had made significant progress in it after he comprehended the energy contained in the twenty or so Illusionary Tokens Wilfred brought him.
With the help of the illusions in the maze, Austin was able to play those genuine medium-grade divine gods for fools.
Among the creatures from the Desolate River, at least four of them were medium-grade divine gods, while the rest were genuine preliminary-grade divine gods—all of which Austin had no problem defeating.
What was more, since there wasn't any genuine premium-grade divine god present, he was confident that there was nothing to worry about.
For a while, Austin kept them trapped in different illusions.
Austin watched them struggle to break out of the illusions even when there was really nothing they could do.
When he finally got bored, Austin strode towards them and performed the Puppet Strings to turn them into his slaves.
"Oh, there you are!"
The mermaid behind Austin rushed to the girls and helped them get up.
"Sally?!
It's you! Oh, thank goodness we finally found you!"
The two girls burst into tears of joy when they saw the mermaid come from behind Austin. They both hugged her and cried their hearts out.
Meanwhile, Sally comforted them gently.
