The merman, my man novel Chapter 65

The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 65

He was a beast, after all. His acts of intimacy stemmed from his feral instincts and were not based on emotions. It was perfectly logical for him to leave.

Although I had that train of thought, I still mentally cursed him in the back of my mind. ‘Despicable!’

I hadn’t expected to feel miserable. I clenched my fists in a fury. ‘That stupid beast! How could he abandon me?!’

Just when I was lamenting his absence, I suddenly heard the sound of a strong wave crashing against the hull of a boat. Seawater overflowed onto the deck and the boat started rocking side to side.

The man stepping on me lost balance and fell onto the floor. Withstanding the pain, I crawled up and raised my head. Dicken’s tail clung to the boat’s mast as he propped his body upright, overseeing the situation on the boat from above like a harbinger of death.

He roared fiercely before pouncing onto the pirate that had stepped on me. With a mighty swing from his long tail, several of the pirates who were ready to fire their guns were toppled over.

Then, he extended his razor-sharp claws and stared down at everyone present. In a split second, he dug his claws into the lower back of a pirate and flung him forward onto his abdomen.

Blood sprayed out from the wound, and Dicken was covered in it instantly. He then looked at the situation around him once again. I was so shocked that no words could leave my lips. I could only remain stunned as I sat on the floor. I felt the urge to gag as my body couldn’t help but tremble at the scene.

Dicken’s brutality in this situation was more terrifying than what he had done to Alice. The impression I had of Dicken had changed after witnessing that situation.

The mess of thoughts in my mind put me in a trance, yet I couldn’t shift my eyes away. Covered in blood, Dicken stood up from the corpse supported by his tail. He was slightly more than two meters tall when standing upright and appeared like a king looking down on his subjects on the deck.

Droplets of blood remained on his weapon-like claws. His deep blue eyes bore ferocity that could make anyone quiver in fear. Like a devil that arose from hell, he could snatch the lives of anyone he wished. Even bloodthirsty pirates wouldn’t dare stand against him.
