Chapter 963: Speed swimming and moisturizing
Once we were on the beach, the mermen immediately pulled out some bottles that had liquid in them.
This was something that I immediately recognized since they had been using these things over the past few days.
The moment that they drank it, their legs started to transform.
It didn’t take long before they regained their tails.
These were the humanizing potions.
Drinking it would give a mermaid legs and then drinking it a second time would reverse the effect. This was a potion that was carefully developed by the potion experts of the Merman Empire, a task that wasn’t easy at all.
The reason for developing this potion was to interact with the humans on land.
Of course, the mermaids weren’t foolish enough to believe that just because they ruled the oceans, they would be able to wipe out any who dared to oppose them. They understood that different races had different strengths and didn’t dare slack in terms of preparation.
So they developed this potion so they could react to any situation that happened. Otherwise, the contracts that could turn mermaids into humans were more than enough.
After they turned themselves back into mermen, the mermaid royal guards and the Merman King jumped into the ocean.
They didn’t dive right into the depths of the ocean right away and instead floated there on the surface. With the way that they floated there, it almost made them seem human since they had their lower halves under the water.
However, that wasn’t the end of it.
After diving into the water, the Merman King took out the bottle of lube that I handed him. He opened up the cap and then tapped the opening of the bottle.
After he tapped the opening, the liquid inside seemed to stir as if responding to his touch. As it stirred, the liquid suddenly started forming a bubble that just floated there in the air inside of the bottle.
It floated there for a bit before coming out like it was being guided by the Merman King’s finger.
The bubble of liquid floated for a bit before coming out of the bottle and just floating there in the air.
With the control of the Merman King’s finger, that bubble floated over to the Merman King’s tail before suddenly splitting apart. The liquid that formed this bubble spread in such a way that it coated the tail of the Merman King.
The way that he did it made sure that he didn’t miss a single inch of his tail, so that it was completely covered in the lube.
Seeing this, I could guess that this was the water magic of the mermaids.
However, I had no idea why he was lubing up his tail like this…
It didn’t seem to make any sense at all…
The other mermen did the same thing as they used their own water magic to draw out balls of lube to coat their tails.
As this was happening, I could see that the tails that they had lubed up seemed to form a layer of protection against the water. It seemed that they were using their water magic to ensure that the lube didn’t get washed away by the water which was very strange.
What was the point of using magic to do all of this?
It seemed like a waste of mana in my eyes…
But the Merman King and the other mermen just continued doing this until all of their tails had been lubed up. With the lube surrounding their tails like this, they suddenly started charging forward.
It seemed like they were going in groups as they swam through the water.
With the way that they moved like this, it was almost as if they were racing each other.
I was even more confused when I saw them like this, but it didn’t seem like they were bothered at all by the way that I looked at them. They all had excited looks on their faces as if they had discovered something new.
When I looked closely, I could see that they were controlling the lube with their water magic so that only a bit of it made contact with the water at a time. Like this, they would be able to keep using the lube for a while as they swam through the water.
The lube reduced the friction that their tail made with the water, which allowed them to go much faster.
At first, they didn’t seem to move that fast, but that turned out to just be them adjusting to the feeling of using the lube.
After a while, they started shooting through the water at speeds that were hard to follow with the naked eye. It took a bit of effort to keep up with the mermen shooting through the water.
However, this was a good demonstration of the power that the mermaids had when it came to aquatic combat.
There was no one that would be able to face these rockets in the water.
“What are you doing?” There was a voice that came from the beach that caught all of us off guard.
When I turned around, I saw that the Merman Queen was standing there with her arms at her waist and a disapproving look on her face.
The Merman King came out of the water with an awkward look before saying, “We’re just testing out this new product that we got from Zwein.”
After saying this, he took the bottle of lube that had almost been completely used up and presented it to the Merman Queen.
She narrowed her eyes to look at the Merman King before taking it and using it for herself. Of course, she transformed back into her mermaid form before using the lube.
The moment that she lubed up her tail, her eyes immediately lit up as she touched the scales on her tail.
“This is amazing! The moisturizing effect is unlike anything I’ve used before!” The Merman Queen shouted out in a shocked voice as she touched her tail.
After she finished testing it, she immediately looked at me like a hunter looking prey which sent a shudder down my back.
