Although the counterattack of the Koutao Merfolk was swift, it was clearly futile. Like a divine warrior, Gerein immediately jumped into the river, followed by forty-eight Hippopotamus poets who also plunged in without exception. The real nightmare had only just begun.
Underground creatures, other than the Koutao Merfolk, could not compare to the merfolk in water skills even if they could swim. This was exactly why the Koutao Merfolk were fearless and seemed invincible, as they always had an escape route. No other underground race had the ability to challenge the Koutao Merfolk in the abyss.
This situation would be somewhat different if it involved the powerful Aquatic Warriors of the Sea Clan and Beamon.
