"How could this be..."
The Merman glided through the water, his innate talent allowing him to swim at high speeds in the sea. If he hadn't been concerned about the possibility of other dangers on the island and the safety of moving with his team, he could have swum across directly.
But now, facing a terrifying creature, he could no longer concern himself with his teammates.
Decisively abandoning his team was the Merman's way of survival.
He was just praying there were no other monsters in the sea.
Glancing back, the Merman saw the Hunter had actually jumped into the sea!
"Why is it so persistent!"
The Merman had heard of such creatures before. Once they locked onto a target, they would pursue it to the ends of the earth to kill and devour it, with even time unable to stop them. It was for this reason that these creatures were given the name Hunter.
To evade their pursuit, other than turning around and killing the Hunter, the only way was to stay in open spaces.
