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. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
It was…countless…mermaids.
I wasn’t amazed at all upon seeing such a scene in an instant. Instead, I was consumed by fear.
I turned around immediately, wanting to swim away from them. But as soon as I turned, I saw dozens
of mermaids rising from the sea. They had blocked my way.
I was surrounded by mermaids!
Being under this kind of pressure suffocated me. Gradually, the image of the mermaids surrounding me
became more visible under the moonlight.
My jaw dropped in astonishment. The group of mermaids was as beautiful as Alice. They had hour—
glass figures with silky hair that draped over their porcelain skin, and their eyes were shining like
diamonds in the dark as they blinked.
Both men and women would be amazed at the current situation. It was nothing different from being
surrounded by a group of goddesses. They were beautiful!
It didn’t take long before these mermaids swam to me, and they were very close to me. They looked at
me as if I was their prey, which made me terrified.
Then, one by one, they began to smile gracefully. It seemed like they meant no harm, but this scene
was bizarre.
If I were to describe the feeling, I felt like they were looking at a sacrificed tribute, a creature that had
been put on the operating table waiting to be dissected and studied.
“You guys…“
I spit out the words with enormous difficulties, trying to communicate with them. But they disappeared
from the sea all of a sudden as if it was arranged. The next second, my body was hovering above the
sea. A few fair arms had lifted me from beneath the sea.
