The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 85
‘Right, don’t act without thinking. Calm down, Linda!’ I silently advised myself.
I took a deep breath and finally managed to calm myself down.
“Bang! “
Suddenly, the hull suffered another crash again and began to rock severely. I couldn’t stand firm on my feet at all. I rolled around as the hull rocked and then hit against the wall.
I reacted immediately to the hit and held the wall to support myself and not fall. I looked out from the window and saw a giant shadow swim across the ship’s bottom, causing a huge wave to surge above the sea. The vast wave was still reflecting the green fluorescence from the creature.
The thought of Dicken fighting against the monster made me chill.
Where was Dicken?
I got nervous immediately, searching for him on the roaring sea.
Suddenly, an agile and fit shadow jumped out from the sea. The long fishtail was like a sharp blade shining with black light. The tail curved as he jumped and appeared as a perfect arc on the sea. He then jumped over the giant pelican eel and slashed across its huge eyeball with his tail. He was as fast as lightning, and his tail was as sharp as a dagger.
A stream of green fluorescent liquid spurted from the eyeball of the pelican eel. It was like a water balloon being cut with its liquid oozing out.
The pain of losing an eyeball caused the pelican eel to surface in an instant. The monster stretched its body and was taller than the cabin now. The pelican eel opened wide its mouth full of sharp teeth and began to chase after Dicken, trying to bite him angrily.
