The merman, my man novel Chapter 87

The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 87

I saw a pair of familiar, narrow eyes in the turbid water that made me feel secure and relieved. The figure came to my side almost instantly.

He quickly stretched his sharp webbed claws to the thing that had bitten my back. He was as fast as lightning. Everything happened too quickly. I could not see how he removed that thing from me. I felt a sudden looseness in my back, and then my body was firmly wrapped by his fishtail as he kept my body above the water.

After a while, my vision turned black, and I felt my mind go blank even though I could breathe better now. I felt as if I was still under the sea, and I couldn’t hear at all.

I probably hadn’t gotten used to the water pressure. It would be more life -threatening if I were to take a deep breath now. So I tried to breathe in little by little, allowing myself to float like a log, hoping I would catch my breath as soon as possible. My vision gradually returned as I regained consciousness, and I could see better. But what I saw was disappointing.

The pirate ship was very far from me, and Dicken had disappeared from my sight.

The sea was still roaring, and sometimes I could see a black figure leap out of the water. I supposed Dicken was still fighting against the sea monster.

I couldn’t stop worrying about Dicken. I had no idea whether he was on the winning side or the losing side. Although I simultaneously hated and was afraid of him, I did not want him to be swallowed by the pelican eel either.

It was funny how worrying had surpassed my fear. I knew that I should have left the battlefield as quickly as possible and returned to the ship to stay with my species. But my eyes were attracted by the roaring sea, and I didn’t want to look away from it.

My back was unbearably painful, and the pain stimulated my nerves. I had to hurry up and get back to the ship.

Just as I was about to swim towards the ship, the changing condition ahead of me left me stunned.

Numerous shining lights slowly appeared amidst the turbid sea. And a human outline was visible under each bright light. These silhouettes with lights quickly surrounded me.
